Really awesome spot if you are looking for Thai food. Great quality and good customer service. Definitely a hole-in-the-wall spot. Ordered the Pad See Ew it was very flavorful and the meat was cooked well, it was tender and soft, definitely easy to eat. Noodles and veggies were well seasoned as well. The Thai Tea is made perfectly and not heavy on the cream. Check this place out read more

My girlfriend and I have gotten food here twice now and both times they have put meat on one of our dishes even though we ask for no meat. The food is decent and the portions are great but we can't eat any of it when they put meat since we are vegetarian. The first time I didn't mind as much because mistakes happen, but twice in a row? What a waste of our time and money. read more

I came around lunch time and ordered the yellow curry under their All Day Special list for $6.99. It came with soup and a dumpling. The flavor of the curry was surprisingly good! I can't wait to go back and try their other items. read more

Spices Thai Kitchen - Yello curry on their All Day Special List! for 6.99 - Thai Near Me - Arcadia, California

My husband, my sister and I dropped by this place on a Saturday night. The place is just for takeout only. Inside the place, there are a cashier desk and a couple chairs. It is very cute. We placed our orders and waited for less than 10 minutes. We got three boba drinks. They were all pretty good. My husband loves the THAI ICE TEA WITH BOBA, and I like the TARO DRINK WITH BOBA. The melon drink was ok. The YELLOW CURRY WITH CHICKEN was unbelievable. It was so creamy and flavorful. That is one of the best Thai curry I have eaten so far. I can really eat that all day long. Just give me a big bowl of rice. The duck curry was good too. Since it is a red curry, it is a bit spicy to my taste. (I don't eat spicy at all.) But, it is still very tasty. Compare with the yellow curry, I would pick the yellow curry for sure. The THAI FRIED RICE WITH PORK was surprisingly good. It was light, and delicious. My sister likes this dish the most. My husband said he likes the yellow curry with fried rice better than with white rice. Overall, the food was very good. I would recommend this place definitely. It has been a couple days since I had the food, but I am still thinking about them. I really want the yellow curry now. :( read more

I live 2 blocks away. Phone in, pick it up in 15 minutes. The food isn't all that pricey, it averages around the 7s for a meal. Of course, their dumplings (or the tofu) are worth the extra price for an appetizer. They also have All Day Lunch Specials for 6 which comes with one dumpling, though the dumplings, oddly, doesn't come with dumpling sauce (they only give you one though). Nice people, good food, take it home. They also have delivery. read more

The food is great and inexpensive. (lunch special) and the owner is way too friendly 'nuff said. read more

A great place for take out Thai. Whenever I feel like a good meal to last me the whole day at work, I end up calling for take out here. Their staff is very friendly staff and have amazingly good prices. Their Everyday Special $5 meal are great deals. The portions are very generous. Pad See Ew is pretty good. Fried tofu is like any other place, but good consistency with the typical sweet/spicy sauce. The Garlic Tofu with Bean Sprouts special has been my go to meal. I usually break it up as two meals since it ends up being too much. read more

Small family owned place. Take out only. The chicken pad thai ($7.50) was absolutely gross. But the tom yum noodle with pork and shrimp ($8.50) was very good. So mixed reviews. Cash only read more

10 10 10! Will be back! YES! Bring back all mom-and-pop stores, fresh food, perfect amount of spice, beautiful menu, wonderful kind people read more

This is one of my favorite places for take out. Service is great and the food is bomb. One of these days I'll figure out which sauce goes with what dish. But like I said, all of their dishes here are amazing. They have pork fried rice for $5.00. Don't be fooled by the quality of the dish by the price. It is great. I highly suggest you guys try the Larb. They will ask "how spicy?" Don't be a hero and get it spicy. Mild is ok and you can always alter the heat. Bbq pork is another favorite of my wife and I. Comes with a spicy soy sauce. It's amazing. read more

This Thai take out restaurant is fantastic. I've only been there once, but I'm hooked. I usually pick up take out from Original Thai BBQ in Glendale. But when their gas was out and the restaurant was closed the other night, many wife let the fingers do the walking. She came up with Spices Thai. She ordered five dishes and they were all fantastic. Very flavorful. Beautiful colors. I ate that meal with my eyes, nose and mouth. Deeeeeelicious. Fried rice, chicken curry, catfish, it was all so tasty. read more

This review is strictly for the food since there is no option to eat at this restaurant. Wow! If anyone is looking for good Thai food To Go. This is it! The spices and sauces included with the food really makes this place stand out. It is simply good food. And to think I have driven by this place hundreds of times!!! Of course thanks to yelp for pointing me in the right direction. Again! What is the main reason I like it here? 1. The food is cheap 2. The food is good 3. There is alot of food 4. The place is conveniently located 5. Use the menu to get an added $1 discount. Answer: All of the above read more

Big portion, small price, and tasty food...next time will be my third visit. I often have to wait because there are at least 3 other customers waiting to pickup their phone orders. read more

This place is a quick and fast to go place only. Food is fair for its price. You can't expect gourmet Thai food from a to go place.

I can appreciate a small family run restaurant, and this place definitely fits that description. It is take-out only...no dine-in. But that's ok. My wife and I were lured here by the high Yelp scores and we really wanted to like this place. We were greeted by a friendly employee and a wonderful smell of Thai food. Even the menu prices were really reasonable. We ordered chicken pad thai, basil beef, basil chicken, and thai iced tea. The pad thai was for my 5 yr old and she complained of it tasting "different". I took a bite and noticed that the noodles were overcooked and had very little flavor. In fact, the only flavor that I tasted was something that resembled tap water. How and why does this pad thai taste like tap water?!?! It was inedible and we ended up throwing it away. When we ordered the basil beef and basil chicken, we were asked how spicy...we said "medium". Holy crap it was SUPER HOT!!! We're Korean so we can hang with the pretty spicy stuff, but this was ridiculous. My wife only ate about 1/4 of the food before she stopped and dumped it in the trash. I am a cheap-ass so I finished my food so as not to waste it. I was dying though. The Thai iced tea was okay. Nothing special. As much as I wanted to really like this place, the food was barely edible. I'm not sure how it got such good Yelp scores when our experience was the opposite. I gave them 2 stars instead of 1 because they had good service and I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that maybe they have other dishes that are excellent. I do want this small business to succeed, however, I do not see myself going back. I hope they listen to the feedback and make some improvements so that they're business thrives. read more

This is a great little place. The food is wonderful, the people are nice and the portions are really great considering the prices.

First timer, read good reviews on Yelp so thought I'd give it a shot. I tried the $6 all day special, Broccoli Beef. As mentioned, only take out here so I headed to Arcadia Park with my lunch. The broccoli beef was not very flavorful and the rice was sort of clumped together. read more

Their prices are pretty good for the quantity they give you. Our group ordered a good amount and we can all recommend the papaya salad, green curry, red curry, and red sea. All those dishes had a great amount of flavors and delicious smells. We wouldn't recommend their pad see ew and garlic shrimp since both dishes were lacking in taste and didn't seem worth. read more

You know the saying, " Don't judge the book by its cover?" Well, this is how I felt when I first came here. But oh boy..the food is delicious! Small gem of a place. The food is to be enjoyed at home or anywhere else. There no tables there. read more

Very delicious and authentic Thai food. It is take out only. Looks like a family business putting a lot of hard work. Meal is very well prepared, flavorful and healthy. Recommended. read more

My boyfriend and i LOVE thai food. Last night we had the King Curry with Chicken and it has sexed him up so much he now claims this place THE thai place. read more

Three star for its convenient location, ample portion, unbeatable price and friendliness. Minus two stars: quality of food is not good, consider a step above fast food level, with too much salt and seasoning. I'm always left feeling thirsty after their meal, despite asking for less oil and salt. read more

Delicious food, fast and very affordable. They have many varieties and you can get lots of quality food for $5! I wish I knew about this earlier. Been in Arcadia for almost a year, and they are just 1.5 mile from my office. read more

Spices Thai Kitchen - Spicy Eggplant with chicken and peppers.. $6. - Thai Near Me - Arcadia, California

I'm not a big Thai food fan. I don't eat the usual common stuff AT ALL. I super picky. they only thai dish i've ever had and liked is "spicy mint over rice" and it's funny cuz it's not mint, it's basil. So when i try it somewhere, I describe the dish and cross my fingers and hope it's what I like, or at lease close... It was perfect. Just the way i like it. I asked for them to make it with no oil (or easy oil), brown rice ($1.00 extra) and mild. I might even try mild-medium next time =) read more

I read the reviews on yelp and was definitely in for some thai food at great value The prices have gone up by about a dollar since the earlier reviews and that kind of changes your perspective. This place is no longer a great value and just another restaurant. I had the pad thai and it was average. I got a taro bubble tea drink and it was one of those made from powder and sugar drinks that taste good at first and gets worse with every subsequent sip. read more

YES! It's a hole in the wall. YES! There are no tables, only take out. YES! It's cash only. But I pay cash all the time anyway and I eat at home so it doesn't bother me. It is a Mom and Pop shop that serves good food at a cheap price. It's cheaper than other restaurants... I guess because there's no dishes to wash. I think the dishes around $3 less than other places. It's good guys. There's a nice selection on the menu and the family is always nice and serves you right away. Then there's the portions, it's pretty big compared to other Thai spots in my opinion. WARNING- Order mildly spicy. If you order medium or hot you're going to regret it. I go there whenever I'm in town. read more

This place is good if you are in a pinch and need a quick lunch to-go - but don't expect much from food quality. I was in the mood for yellow chicken curry and I called in and asked if they had any curry on special. A friendly lady said they did and told me they had either yellow or red curry was $6.99 - $7.60 with tax. She asked if I wanted mild, medium, or hot - I picked mild and she said it would be ready in 10 minutes (yay!) As I travelled down 1st Street (south of Huntington) - and found it difficult to make my way down the street. Every block has a stop sign and the middle school in the neighborhood had just let out and the streets were crawling with kids. There's free parking out front on the street (and plenty of it) and my order was ready and waiting. I didn't know it when I ordered - but the daily special comes with soup, a fried dumping, and the entree. I was excited to see the soup, but it was inedible. It was extremely salty. It had a lot of cabbage(??), a couple pieces of white chicken, and some sliced carrots. I really liked the veggies, but the broth was too salty and I could only eat a couple bites. That's ok, though - it's the yellow curry I want! Side note to mention - everything was very well packaged. The soup was in a separate container and a separate plastic bag. My entree was in it's own container and in it's own plastic bag. The curry was in yet another container inside the entree container. No spillage or leakage, that's for sure! And my main bag had a spoon, fork, and packet of soy sauce. When I opened the entree there was a nice sized container of curry, a fried dumpling, and two scoops of steamed, white rice. The fried dumpling was on the cold side, but was very tasty! I was only going to have a bite, but ended up eating the whole thing! The curry was nice and hot and I was excited to dig in. It was filled with the same white chicken pieces the soup had - lots of carrots, onions, and red peppers. The chicken didn't seem like it sat in the curry very long at all. So much so, my guess is they have the curry ready, then add the chicken just before putting it together. Because of that, the chicken didn't have much flavor. And, because it was small white meat pieces, it was pretty tough/dry. The curry itself had a nice flavor - was very mild - not much heat at all. I wasn't planning to eat all the rice - but there was barely any chicken in the curry and while usually one scoop is more than enough - I ended up eating both scoops! Overall, it was a disappointing lunch. Had there been some tasty chicken in my curry (and enough of it) it would have salvaged everything. The rice was nicely cooked and the meal (except for the dumpling) was a good temperature... yet it was lacking overall. The curry had a nice flavors to it but was much runnier than I'm used to. I ended up soaking the rice in it and enjoying it that way. I was baffled because even though there was a lot of containers and seemingly a lot of food - I was not satiated in the least (unless you call curry soaked rice a meal). I doubt I'll be back anytime soon. Too bad, because I love the ordering ease, quick pickup, and friendly service! read more

Pretty good spot! I usually order the Pad See Ew, and they definitely make a good one. The only negative I can think of right now is that I was about to order the Panang Curry also, but they don't give you rice with that (which most places do), so I just went with the Pad See Ew. For being a takeout only place, it's pretty good though; although their prices are virtually the same as restaurant prices. Either way, if you're looking for takeout Thai food, you can't go wrong here. read more

This place is consistent from my ordering food for about 8 years now. Their all day specials is what bring you here. Take-Out only which is great. Pad Thai little over priced. This Fried tofu with bean sprouts are the Bomb!! It's an all day special and I this dish delish! read more

Spices Thai Kitchen - Fried Tofu with bean sprouts! Delish!! - Thai Near Me - Arcadia, California

Really good. Tried all the main Thai joints around this area and this is by far the best...high quality, great taste, and affordable. I like the spicy eggplant and tofu, bbq pork, and yellow curry...throw in the brown rice. read more

I like the idea of a Thai take out only place. It's always a little intimidating to do takeout from a fully established restaurant. I was here for green curry and pad thai when I was craving Thai badly. It's a very tiny place with street parking. When you go in, you see a tiny counter and a very nice lady who will hand you a menu. If you don't order in advance, it will be around 15min wait but they do have chairs. Pad Thai: A little soggy but pretty yummy ($7.50) Green Curry: very tasty BUT if you usually get medium spicy, you should go with mild. ($7.50) * Service = Very sweet and nice. * Price = a tiny bit over average * Location = ok, the only problem is parking If you want Thai in the Arcadia area but don't wanna go through the hassle of ordering from a restaurant, this place is it :) read more

My go-to Thai restaurant! This mom n' pop restaurant has never failed me. I usually order their eggplant w/tofu along with pad see ew or pad thai. For both dishes it comes out to about $15 or $16. The portions are definitely worth the price, as it usually lasts me 2 meals. My order is usually ready about 15 minutes after I call it in. The service is always outstanding and you won't find a nicer family to serve you Thai food. Unfortunately there is no seating so it's take-out only! I would definitely recommend stopping here if you're passing through Arcadia! read more

Inexpensive, good quality food. The food is made very quickly, and there is a lot of food. Its great for sharing because i can't finish a full order more than half the time read more

We have been back here a couple more times since the first review. The ingredients are always fresh, portions very generous, and services excellent. However, four out of the six times we have been here the proteins were overcooked - beef and chicken. I suppose if we had ordered the dishes without any proteins, we would have been satisfied. read more

Based on the positive reviews on yelp and my unwillingness to drive, I decided to give Spices Thai Kitchen a try. I ordered beef pad see ew and green papaya salad with a thai ice tea. The lady on the phone was polite and informed me that it would be about an hour for the food to arrive. When I opened the styrafoam box, to my surprise, it contained pad thai instead of what I ordered. So I called the restaurant back, and turns out she took down the wrong order. They were apologetic, and offered to give me a free pad see ew next time I called. When I looked at the check, I was again confused. My order doesn't add up to the total on the check. Unless they included delivery charges without telling me? Turns out, there is a $1 charge. Anyways, despite all the confusion, the papaya salad was fresh and delicious and the pad thai is pretty good. I would have given the restaurant 5 stars for flavour and portion size, but this is a lot confusion for one meal. Would I order again? Probably. read more

Thanks Yelpers- because of you I found this little hole in the wall right by my job. I was very impressed. I went here last Thursday night around 8 and the place was packed with people, well they only have about 6 chairs to wait but there were people waiting outside for their food. I took this as a very good sign. I end up ordering their special of the night the pineapple shrimp curry with rice and pad thai. I know pad thai really that is the most typical American thing to get, but hey I wanted some noodles and besides pad thai is a good way to judge their food. LOL. Well the curry was really good I order it medium spicy and dwell it was really spicy normally not a problem but I really was eating a lot of rice to help cool my mouth. I was surprised by the amount of shrimp. Most of the time little hole in the wall places are skimpy with the seafood. This dish you need to try. As far as my pad thai it was ok, I know sad right. I was hoping it would be as a good as the curry. However, I still will go back and try everything else. Their menu is quit large they have one whole side just on items that are $6.50 all day and come with rice, soup and dumpling. Not bad. This is a take our only place, they do not deliver and they do not have a website. Try this place you won't be disappointed! read more

I just got lunch from this place and my tummy is still happy. It's takeout only and you got to bring cash. Dishes I like are: pad see ew with chicken, green curry chicken, mint leaf beef. They have an all day special for 6.50$ and you get soup and rice with it. Prices are cheap and service is fast. Oh btw I can eat pretty spicy food but can only handle medium spicy from this place so yeah their food is pretty spicy. read more

I came in on a late Saturday night and ordered my favorite dish, Green Papaya Salad and I requested EXTRA spicy. I've never seen it prepared this way, which includes grilled shrimps!! (honestly I thought they added the shrimps by accident). The salad was delicious, sweet + tangy flavors. I did a walk-in, 2 orders of papaya salad, boom 7 minutes later I was out the door. The salad was neatly packaged in a two plastic bags and double-taped to prevent spills. Fast service! A few more FYIs... - NO MSG according to menu - Open Monday - Saturday, 11am - 9pm, Closed on Sundays - small-ish place. Best for take-out. You can sit on the chairs in front of the cashier and wait - Pick-up / To-Go / Catering only. - No deliveries (someone actually called and asked for deliveries, and the cashier said NO). - Visa/Mastercard for orders $10 and up; No checks accepted - Street parking only (plenty at night but may be a challenge during daytime) I'm coming back for more! read more

Small restaurant, but their foods are good and have generous portions! Will definitely order take out again from them!
