    Take out: Red Curry, lettuce wraps, Pad Kee Mo, Mongolian beef, & Pad Prik Khing
    Mina L.

    Wow! We ordered from Talay via DoorDash. Food arrived on time as promised. Quick service and generous portions. Everything we ordered was delicious. We ordered lettuce wraps, red curry, noodles, Mongolian beef, and prik king chicken. One of the best Thai food I've had. It was nice ordering in and having plenty of leftovers for later. I would order from Talay again.

    Basil Fried Rice

    This place is hands-down the best thai place in the Palm Springs area and some of the dishes tasted much better than some of the good places in the BayArea. Spice levels are higher here, ask for 2 or less if you cant handle spice. I eat spicy food and 3 was spicy for me, but the good kind of spicy. The fried rice tasted amazing with the right amount of spice. Another dish to be mentioned is the Mango Curry, so yummy. Sticky rice with coconut icecream and Mango both tasted great. They were able to accommodate a big group (8) for lunch. But for dinner previous night it was completely packed. We couldn't find a spot, but glad we came back for lunch the next day.

    Curry with peanut and string beans delicious

    We made it back for take out. Food is always better when you eat in rather than take out because you can't really get the same effect visually or the proper portions of food verses sauce in a to go box. You can see below the same curry dish and the same noodle dish served in house and served in the to go box. However it was still the best Thai food here in the desert that we have had. The only other concern was the combination fried rice was $3 higher than posted on line and the mango desert was $2 higher than their website pricing. We ordered two mango deserts and they came to over $32 with the tax included and it was not the best . I would definitely skip that next time along with the eggplant dish which had fresh ingredients but was on the bland side. The egg rolls were excellent and we would get two orders of those next time.

    Arrived in Palm Desert for the weekend and decided on thai for dinner. Found this on yelp and it was very good. Server was great. He even packed all our leftovers. The food was delicious. Price was very reasonable.

    Pad Thai
    Vivian M.

    The food is good! We ordered fried tofu, fish panang curry (it comes with jasmine rice) and chicken pad thai. All are good! The service was fast. A special shout out to the waiter... Kai. Very respectful and takes pride of his job. The only missing is the character of the restaurant itself. But it's clean and a lot of space.

    Have been looking for a really good Thai restaurant in the area and the food here is really impressive. Fresh and delicious. I love spicy and they have 5 levels of heat... I think 4 is my limit. Also if you're vegan, they are generous with the fresh veggies. Ordered Drunken Noodles and Red Curry. Both Delicious! Service was great and nice interior and the people here are so nice.

    Talay continues to be our favorite Thai restaurant by far in Coachella Valley after several visits in the new location. Everything we've ordered has been delicious. While the spice level is not hot relative to Thai restaurants in other cities (Seattle, Denver), it's thankfully well above all of the other Coachella Valley Thai restaurants we've tried (Coachella Valley 5 stars is suitable for nursing homes).

    Pineapple fried rice - delicious with lots of shrimp and chicken.
    jim m.

    This is our 4th experience. Food is always excellent, likely best Thai in valley. 2 of us ordered the mango curry - 3 out of 4 times for me! The vegetarian platter OK, but blandish. Wouldn't repeat sweet sticky rice. I ordered the pineapple fried rice and a cashew in special house sauce, both worth repeating. Service at this location is very fast - they're not packed yet. We were customers from their old location. This new operation is gradually recovering their old clientele. There was no indication that they were closing, nor any directions for the new locale. We just happend to find in by dining at Los Primos, next door (also EXCELLENT). Ambience is very clean and modern. as can be seen from others' pictures - not like the old locale. But this is about the food rather than ambience.

    Thai iced tea
    Eric S.

    Really delicious meal. Friendly service. No nonsense atmosphere. The spicy fried rice with chicken was level 3 of 5 and it hit the spice level nicely. Good flavors and spice. The chicken and vegetables had a nice smokey sauce. Thai iced tea was great. Would love to come back!

    Eggplant with pork
    HOLLY P.

    Decided to try this place last week after they took over Blue Orchid location. Glad our group of four did. Although there is next to zero ambience, the food is very good. We came again tonight and had the same thing, plus apps. We had for app the chicken wings, which were very crunchy and tasty and the fried pot stickers. Pot stickers were excellent. Entrees were pad thai with prawns, green curry with chicken, and cashew dish with pork, all with spice level 3 of 5. It's still pretty spicy in my opinion. Pad thai is my favorite. The curry is so smooth with fantastic flavor. My least favorite was the cashew pork, but it was still very good. Customer service was very good.

    Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango

    I ordered a mango sticky rice for carry out. I'm so excited to get home as I had been craving it all day. Upon getting home , I check the bag, and I see a single mango. With the pit. Not a grain of rice in sight. Not a single slice into the mango. Just a whole peeled mango. I understand mistakes are made. I'm not sure how one has the audacity to put a whole mango in a box like that. But nonetheless, mistakes happen. Here is what upset me...I drove back and inform them of the mistake. Not a single apology, concern, or attempt at some sympathy. I will attach a screenshot of the correct order and then my order.

We ordered the Tom-Yum soup and Pad Thai today. We usually order their Papaya Salad and Fresh Spring Rolls as our appetizers but we decided to order something new! The Tom-Yum soup is good, but I do believe it's missing some tart/sourness that you'd taste in other traditional Tom-Yum soups, however it's packed with lots of chicken and mushrooms, so that's an A+ in my book! And of course the star of the show, the Pad Thai. You can definitely taste the authenticity of this dish here, it's sweet, savory, nutty, and very aromatic! It was also nice and smoky, you can definitely tell that it was cooked on a wok. They are very generous with their portions as well. All in all, love this place, if you're ever craving Thai food, and you are nearby, My Thai should be on the top of your list :)

FOOD QUALITY: Really good for what it is, I would have liked a bit more spice or to at least to have been asked for spice level options. I'd say spice level was like a 1 at other Thai places.
