Stopped by Spicy Bite Thai Kitchen in South Whittier and this spot seriously deserves more love. You can feel that it's a family-owned restaurant the moment you walk in. The mom runs the kitchen and you can taste the heart behind the food, her recipes are straight-up comforting and packed with flavor. The owners are incredibly welcoming, and the whole place has this cozy, homey vibe that makes you feel like you're being invited into someone's dining room rather than just another restaurant. The staff is super kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. My personal favorites were the yellow curry and the pineapple fried rice, but honestly, everything we tried was just as delicious. It's the kind of place where you leave already thinking about what you're going to order next time. Parking is easy too since it's in a plaza. Plenty of free parking, no stress finding a spot. If you're in the South Whittier area and craving Thai food, this is one of those local gems you want to support. read more

Spicy Bite Thai Kitchen - Thai Near Me - Whittier, California

Tried this the other night. We got chicken pad thai, bbq pork fried rice, ale age chicken bowl, and mango sticky rice. Everything was good. My favorite was pad thai and mango sticky rice. The sweetest couple work here. I will definitely be back!! read more

Came here with a friend on a Friday afternoon to catch up before his work shift. He was in the mood for Thai food, and this spot was conveniently located between us, so we decided to give it a try. It's a small shop with only a few tables inside, and most customers seemed to be ordering takeout, but that made for a quiet and comfortable dine-in experience. We ordered the chicken fried rice and spicy beef salad. Both dishes came out quickly and were really tasty -- flavorful without being overly oily or salty. The portions were generous for the price, and the spice level was just right. You can tell the food is freshly made and handled with care. The people working there, who I assume are the owners, were very friendly and welcoming, both when taking our order and when serving the food. Overall, a great little spot for casual Thai food at a fair price. I'd definitely come back again to try more dishes or grab takeout in the future. read more

Take-out spot for Thai food!! Less options than a traditional Thai restaurant, but they excel at the items they have! I loved the Thai tea here. Their level 4 was pretty spicy for me, so really humble yourself when choosing your spice level or else you won't be able to gorge on this delicious meal!!!! I loved the mango sticky rice for dessert. read more

Easily the best Thai food I've had in the Whittier area! My favorites are the orange chicken, shrimp rolls, and spicy fried rice with chicken. For the rice, I go with spice level 3 which is definitely spicy but still super flavorful and enjoyable without overpowering the dish. Their Thai Iced Tea is amazing too! I've taken it to-go and it doesn't get watered down, which I really appreciate. Service is super friendly and it's a great spot for takeout when I want a delicious and reliable Thai meal. Love it here! read more

Recently came in and was welcomed in by an incredibly kind and warm woman. Later to find out, she's the owner and the only one who really runs the entire restaurant alone (aside from the help of her husband and son). I had quite the feast, grabbing a few various items just to try things and the flavor was great! A few that really shined for me were their Tom Khah soup, Orange Chicken, Pad Thai (standard favorite), and the Mango Sticky Rice. I will say, it is a very small space with only 2 tables so I would imagine most people grab the food to go. This is a spot I'd recommend for simple, straight forward Thai food! read more

Best hidden gem Thai spot in Whittier! It is a small, family-run restaurant and every single dish tasted so fresh and homemade. I tried their chicken pad thai, and it had the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory with juicy chicken that made it super satisfying. The tom yum soup was bold, spicy, sour, and full of aromatics that hit instantly. It was perfect for the rainy weather! The spicy beef salad came with tender beef tossed in a bright chili-lime dressing that was zesty, refreshing, and addicting. And of course, the Thai tea was creamy, sweet, and the perfect drink to tie everything together. I genuinely loved every dish I ordered Go support this amazing small business! read more

Spicy Bite Thai Kitchen - Pad See Ew, Spicy Noodles, Sticky rice Mango, Thai Iced Tea - Thai Near Me - Whittier, California

Really good ! Really spicy but like it's called spicy bite so it lives up to its name i guess

Living in the La Mirada area, we are not short of Thai options but they all seem to be the similar in terms of offering and taste. So I was happy to see that a new spot opened up! I ordered the pad see ew to-go. My food was ready on time and the lady in the store was friendly. Price was consistent to other stores in the area. Overall, I liked it. The pad see ew had less of a soy sauce taste than other places and at first I thought it was slightly underwhelming but it got better as I ate it since other pad see ew's can get a little heavy as you keep eating it. Overall, I want to try other items on the menu and would recommend this place if you want a change of pace. read more

This place is amazing!! I was looking for a new Thai place and was recommended to go here. When my gf and I walked in, we were immediately greeted by the very friendly owners. After a quick meet & greet, we ordered and they even asked how spicy we wanted our food, told them medium. We got to watch them make the food and everything was made to order and tasted fresh. The dishes we ordered were Shrimp Tom Kha Soup which was really rich and creamy, Chicken Pad Thai that was super delicious, Crispy Pork Basil which was extraordinary, it had a really good crunch and flavor combination, and we also got Sticky Rice Mango for dessert which was perfectly sweet. Although we ordered to-go, the place was very clean, had a couple tables & chairs, and was very welcoming. Will we be going back? Absolutely!! Should you go and check them out? Definitely!! read more

Checked out this new Thai spot in Whittier. Located in a small strip between a dry cleaner and donut shop lies this hidden gem. As you enter the establishment you will be notice how clean it is. You'll be welcomed by the owners. The owner/cook is Thai and is super nice. What I like is that you can see the food being cooked while you wait. If there is Thai dish not on the menu she will most likely try to make it for you! They currently do not do dine in so take it to go and eat in your car.... If you can't wait because that's what we did. Can't go wrong with the pad thai and pad see ew (we ordered it a little spicy which has pretty good!) Definitely would come back and try other things on the menu. read more

I've been seeing this spot for about a month and this Labor Day, I finally decided to try it. I called and placed my order. The gentleman was polite and said about 10-15 minutes. Upon arrival, he asked me to wait about one minute which gave me an opportunity to review the appearance of this fairly new Spicy Bite Thai Kitchen. The cook behind him, appeared passionately about her cooking of authentic Thai recipes. I ordered the Pad Thai Noodles and the Spicy Noodles with chicken. When asked about the level of spiciness, scale of 1-5. My son-in-law's bravery asked for a 4. He needed to grab a glass of cold milk to alleviate his enchilado sensation. Brought it home, and food was so fresh, still hot, delicious and generous amounts of seafood and chicken. The Thai ice teas were a bit sweet but as the ice melted, it balanced out. Thai food is my favorite and I highly recommend this spot. read more

So authentic. I've been to Thailand quite a few times and this food was extremely authentic and they get the spice level right!

My husband and I wanted to try something new and stumbled upon Spicy Bite Thai Kitchen. It's hidden so I imagine business might be a bit slow, but hopefully as reviews come in more people will visit. The food is delicious and packed with flavor. We ordered the Tom Yum soup with shrimp, which was deliciously packed with flavor, not too spicy. We also ordered the shrimp fried rice and garlic and pepper shrimp. Both dishes were cooked fresh and absolutely delicious. We ordered an appetizer but didn't try it because we got full lol. The cherry on top was the sweet cook who came to see how we liked the food. You could see she took pride in her food. Wonderful service and delicious food! I hope this business continues to thrive... we will be back! read more

Everything we had was super delicious and cooked to perfection! It's a super small hole in the wall type of place. About only 2 very small tables and very few chairs.. so would only recommend you order over the phone and pick up to enjoy at home. That's what we did! I couldn't choose a favorite because like I said, everything was cooked to perfection. We had the chicken pad Thai, beef pad see ew, combination fried rice, & shrimp rolls. I highly recommend everything we ordered. I wanted to order more, but what we ordered was plenty for two adults and 1 toddler. Try it out! You won't regret it. read more

Amazing food great customer service a hidden gem in south whittier if you are in the area it's a must try

Ate there for the first time today. I had the chicken panang curry with brown rice. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the sauce was a little on the sweet side. I asked for medium spicy, a little more heat would've offset the sweetness. But it was good, and a generous portion. I ordered brown rice to go with it. I'm glad they had that option. My friend ordered shrimp fried rice and a chicken noodle dish. He liked both dishes. They threw in a couple complimentary egg rolls which were standard fare. The people working there are very nice. I will be back. read more
