I was waiting at another restaurant down the street when it was taking too long and I was starving. I found this location on Yelp and figured I can use some Thai food. I called in to make a to go order (pad Thai, papaya salad, pad see ew, Tom yum soup), and the person on the phone said that the wait would take about 20 minutes. That was fine since it probably would've taken the same time at the restaurant I was waiting for. About 15 min passed and I decided to go to the location to pay. There is a lot of street parking and so I parked across from the restaurant. It seemed to be a takeout only spot and the person working the window was able to take my payments and actually hand me my food. The food was so delicious and the portions were so generous!! All of the food costs $48 bucks - pretty reasonable if you ask me! I can't wait to be back! read more

Everyone already got this place covered. Minus one star only because I had to use my own bowl for the noodle lol. This place used real lemon and chili, unlike other Thai restaurant using fake lemon powder. read more

Food was soo good remember having this 10yrs ago and its still good. Love the drunken noodles!

I've ordered food for family several times but will never return. My daughter found a dead cockroach in here food. I'm pretty pissed about it and will be looking into doing something about it and reporting this place. Disgusting and anymore reading this should definitely not go here. This place needs to shut down and fumigate, clean and have higher standards if they are serving food. read more

B R O. I've been going here since around 2010 and it's by far my favorite Thai place in Arcadia. All other Arcadia Thai places? BASIC. This place? COMFORT FOOD, BABY!!!! I CRAVE this place. My standard order: the all day garlic and pepper chicken special ($8, baby!!!), pad thai (not the best I've had, but pretty good!), tom yum soup with shrimp (if you order it medium spicy, that broth'll get you. HOO!!!), and fish cakes (the sauce is also a bit spicy because of the jalapenos, but the sweetness of the sauce and the cucumbers and onions really balance it out). The thai iced teas are only $1.50! Plenty of parking right out front and around the corner. This is a take-out only place. You can't eat inside. UGH. Love it! Order ahead. read more

Thai To Go! Drove by this place for years and never knew it existed. A nicer hole in the wall take out spot. Ordered over the phone for a weekend lunch, takes about 20 minutes to cook. Curb street parking right in front. They take credit card. Pad Thai Chicken - $9 Pad See Ew Beef - $9 Pork Thai Fried Rice - $9 Won't review each dish. They were just cooked perfectly as they should be. Nothing special, nothing different, just cooked well. Portions were super huge! Everything was filled full! Excited to come back to try the curries and specials. First time here and it was so bomb! read more

Tasty, reasonably priced for large portions. On the spicier side, I have to remember to order some dishes "mild."

Wow. I saw the reviews here and wanted to give this place a try with my mom. What a hidden gem. At first we thought we could dine in, didn't fully research and realized it was a to-go place only. My mom wanted to eat at a sit down restaurant but the aromas of garlic filled the air outside that it convinced us to order and take it to go. We ordered the panang curry, pad see ew, papaya salad and mango sticky rice. All that for $48! Oh boy did they give us so much. Most places give half the amount they did and double the price. They really filled it up to the brim. Food was delicious and had so much leftover still. This place is affordable and the service was quick even though we ordered when we arrived. Will definitely support this mom and pop shop again. read more

I was ordering Thai food for my wedding at home. I have no idea how much food I should order. The owner ( Wanpen ) helped me and gave some suggestions. She was very friendly. All food that I received it was a lot more than I expected. On top of that foods were delicious. All of my guests love all the food and they took some home. The price was very reasonable. I highly recommend for this restaurant. read more

Excellent take-out spot. Super competitive prices and high quality flavors and food. Keep them busy before they figure out that their prices are way too low! Enjoy read more

Great food and service. Please note that this is a To Go only restaurant. But it is well worth it!

To go, only. Great prices, and large portions. I got the Mint Leaves with Ground Chicken over rice. It comes with a fried egg. It was flavorful and well cooked. The egg had just the right amount of runniness to the yolk. I liked how it was cooked. It almost looks like a patty. It keeps well in a to go container. The food is a bit on the greasy side, but it's still very good. It was a ton of food. I was so full afterwards, but I couldn't help myself. read more

There is a reason this place got 4.5 star review. Awsome food. Great customer service. Best Thai fried rice I have eaten in years. It's a to go restaurant read more

BEST BEST BEST Thai secret in Arcadia. This to-go-only-mom-and-pop has been here awhile and boy do they make some amazing takeout. To be honest it's definitely 4 star thai food in a takeout location. Pad See Ew: 5/5 You choose your meat, personally the beef if my favorite. Made fresh has the sauces on the side. Texture of the noodle is delectable Pangnang Curry: 5/5 One of my favorite curries. They do it right here. Add your choice of meat. Papaya Salad: 5/5 Can run a little spicy. Start with a medium. 100% always get this appetizer. Thai Basil Chicken: 5/5 Always love this dish. They make it right! Never disappoints. read more

The Tom Yum Soup lacked flavor. I couldn't even taste lemon grass, lemon leaves or galangal. It should also have a hint of fish sauce which I couldn't taste at all. It tasted watered down to me. Maybe the put too much tomato and that absorbed the delicate flavors? I've actually perfected making Tom Yum Soup with authentic ingredients that I've needed to buy at Asian Markets so I KNOW what it's supposed to taste like and what it's not. I've eaten at many Thai restaurants and Small Thai eateries with better food. The Pad See Ew also lacked seasoning and the chicken was tough to eat. My experience with Thai food is a journey of aromatic ingredients accompanied by a perfect crunch of vegetable and soft succulent protein and I didn't find anything like that here. I definitely will not come back. read more

2.5 stars. papaya salad was ok. The ginger chicken was dry and bland, don't order it. I don't get what all the good reviews are about, maybe it's a good place for non-Asians. Sorry. read more

I can't even begin to think how long I've been coming to Spices Thai Kitchen - this review is so overdue! Thai Food is probably my favorite cuisine (aside from Taiwanese food), and ever since a trip to Bangkok in 2016 I've been looking for the best in the area. My favorites are Spicy Fried Rice and Pad See Ew. I will honestly say that this is not the best tasting Thai Food, but if you're looking to get the best bang for your buck and the most insane portions of any restaurant, come to Spices Thai Kitchen. An order of the Spicy Fried Rice EASILY feeds the average person 2 meals, and for someone like me (who eats 2-3 peoples portions), sometimes I can't even finish it. The container holding the food literally feels as heavy as 2 bricks (not really, but you know what I'm trying to get at) all at a price for under $10. It's a tiny little mom-and-pop to-go only spot, so go support them especially during these tough times! I've been here 4 times since quarantine began, and it's always comforting to see they have a ton of orders stacked up front waiting to be picked up. read more

This is a local gem, right across from First Ave middle school. I used to come here in high school, over 15 years ago! Love this place - I had pad woon sen for the first time here. Changed my life! Never knew this dish, slightly sweet, very savory, so homey, would be so good. The papaya salad and pad see ew are delish too. I would say I don't typically love their pad thai so maybe pass on that. It's not saucy enough for me. The tom kha is super good, just like in Thailand. It is quite spicy so beware! Order mild if you can't take the heat. Price is great for the portion. read more

I love their food. So authentic. Don't let this hole in the wall fool you. I love their Tom Ka soup. Nice people. read more

I just want to say that I love their yellow chicken curry. Most yellow curries are spicy even when you ask for mild, but spices Thai kitchen made it just how I wanted it. Their portion is pretty big and it lasted me about 3 meals. Their chicken sate is good also. It has a hint of coconut milk and their portion is also pretty big. My husband will only go here for their crispy pork and he's Thai. He loves it. Their customer service is excellent. Wait times isn't too bad. I would suggest calling ahead for your to go order so you don't have to wait as their waiting area is very small. read more

I ordered mixed vegetables with tofu. It turned out only bean sprouts and tofu. Where are the other vegetables? I was very disappointed. I really want to support small business. I was charged over $10 for this dish. Big rip off!!! read more

For the money, you can't go wrong here. Interestingly, nine times out of 10 eating at Spices, I order the six dollar lunch special. Each time, the meal has been slightly different - a little spicier, a little sweeter, one time not enough salt- but I've always been satisfied with the meal, and the price I paid. Don't come here expecting to sit down. This place is about the size of the bathroom at Starbucks. With a loyal following, however, there are always at least a couple of people milling around, waiting for an order, or picking up after calling in. Wait times for orders can be substantial, but I've always hoped this means my meal is being cooked fresh, not slopped in a to go container from beneath a heat lamp. As an added bonus, The restaurant is across the street from a liquor store. So, if you feel like having a big can of Monster or an adult beverage with your Pad Thai or yellow curry, you're in luck... Just be advised local law enforcement frowns upon open containers on city streets, even if you're using the contents to wash down your the ample contents of your styrofoam food boat. The nearby middle school has a minimum impact on the restaurant, but if you're planning on getting an early dinner here around 3:15, expect a little traffic and nowhere to park. All other times are pretty wide open. I also like their Tom Kha Ga, but if you want hot, you gotta ask for it, or bring your own. Sriracha doesn't cut it. This is definitely a nice small local place that I like to support. I'm still waiting for them to give me the heater when I ask for spice... But that's just the way it goes when you look like a rookie walking in. Maybe someday they'll give me the nose-running, eye-watering good stuff. Make sure you tell them I sent you-- not because you'll get any special treatment or deal... In fact, I'm 100% sure they won't know what or who you're talking about. But watching the look on the cashier's face as you name drop a stranger might give you something to do while waiting there for your order. read more

We really appreciate this place. Service is fast. Favorite dish- crispy pork fried rice with Chinese broccoli.

It is absurd to say wait time is 20 mins, then take the money when customer comes after 25 mins... and customer has to wait another 30 Mins!!! 10 mins after taking payment he says, I can't do anything about the wait!!! People: when a restaurant apologizes for a delay of 30 mins and you've stood outside, don't say, "Oh its ok!!". Its not ok! We were looking forward to a quiet evening at a good hotel after a very long day, & waiting 1 hr is NOT OK read more

February 14, 2014 My boyfriend and I decided to spend our Valentines relaxing and chill at the hotel room. We found Spices Thai and we literally drove three minutes away to this awesome mom n' pop spot. I ordered the rice noodles with chicken and my amazing boyfriend ordered the chicken and rice. We both ordered drinks with our meal. I got the Green Tea Smoothie and he got something else Thai Milk Tea. Both were delicious. He loved my Pad Thai with chicken...wished we got more. When we were about to leave, we actually saw the family bring back groceries from the markets. WOW...from that...we KNOW that their food is fresh! I can't wait until Next Time! read more

The food was delicious. The service was a little slow so I'd call and order in advance next time I come.

This place was so good I had to get it twice in a row ! The customer service is also amazing.

After reading all the reviews I'll give it a shot. This rating is for the catfish only. The tofu curry was pretty tasty. I open the container and was like wait a minute this is not catfish. Where is the bones? Why the sauce so running and not thick? This doesn't look or taste like catfish. I called to to complain. They said oh yeah sorry customers were complaining about the bones so we don't use that anymore and instead we use filet. Omg I was disappointed. To be honest noodle world in Alhambra has the best catfish. Maybe other dishes taste good here. I will not come back read more

Great to go Thai. Prices, flavor, quality and sizes and everything. They have great service and it's a cute little place.

This place is perfect for nights you are too lazy to cook dinner. It was my first time so I stuck to the basics: pad see ew, pad Thai, and Thom kha. The food was excellent-very flavorful, big chunks of protein, and generous portions. The service was fast and pleasant, three dishes under $40, can't beat that! read more

Tiny eatery that is a to-go place only (no dine in option) located in the quite part of of Arcadia with street parking only. My husband and I decided to check out this place last Saturday (since I had it bookmarked for a while). We walked in and decided to order: #33 Gai Khauh (Chicken & Squid Noodle), $9 prior to tax- Loved the tender noodles and sauce/ flavors used for this dish. A nice generous portion that can easily be shared with 4-5 people. I thought the chicken was a bit dry, but I did like the large chewy pieces of squid. #26 Garlic Fried Rice with Chicken, $8 prior to tax- Portion of this dish is also more than enough for 4-5 people. Really liked the flavors of the fried rice. You have your choice of choosing beef, pork or chicken (and decided to opt for poultry). #8 Tom Yum Soup, $8 prior to tax- My husband really wanted some Thai soup and decided upon this one. I wasn't much of a fan and felt the lemongrass was an overkill of any flavor that was in this soup. Also it was spicy and I am just not a spicy eating person. I personally would not order this one again but I think my husband thought it was okay. ------------------------------- (Total= $28.25 after tax) When we made our order, the employee who took our order told us it would be about a 20 minute wait. But I think our food was ready in about 15 minutes, which was nice that we didn't have to wait as long (but what's another 5 minutes?). In the future though, I would probably just phone in my order before coming (now that I have a copy of their menu). There is only 4 or 5 chairs for waiting with plenty of magazines to occupy the time in case you don't get a chance to phone in your order ahead of time. Since we went on a fairly sunny day, I was a little peeved with the sun shining on my face (even though the blinds were drawn, it still shined through). Overall, pretty good Thai food (I know there is better Thai food out there, but this does a good job at footing the craving) with good portions and perfectly priced to match. read more

Good place to eat and fast service. I Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes Thai food!!!

This place was very good, I was surprised by its foods and services. Only take out, but the menu was full of your favorite dishes. As usual, I went for my most favorite dish. It was pad Thai big flat noodles. Oh yeah, it made my mouth watering just by looking at the pictures. It did not disappoint me at all. Also the prices so cheap, reasonable and the potions of it, you probably fed for two people. Well, I didn't know this place, but my daughter had been here before. she would guarantee that I will for in love with this place. She was right on. I loved it will be back again. read more
