This isn't my first rave review, and it won't be my last. The food is consistently excellent, with generous portions that leave you satisfied in every way. Standouts from our most recent visit last Saturday include the Pad See Ew, which is hands-down the best rendition we've had; crispy egg rolls; flavorful potstickers; and the rich tom kha soup in coconut broth--everything hit the spot perfectly. Service here always feels like a warm hug, and even without "Mommy" (who was home tending to her grandchildren), Panadda stepped up seamlessly. She was friendly, accommodating, and made our meal even more enjoyable with her genuine hospitality. We left with full bellies and even fuller hearts. We'll definitely be back--Thai House has earned its place as a Palm Springs staple for us.

We ordered three dishes: stir fried basil, honey roasted duck, and steamed soy sauce fish. Each dish was a hit and satiated us so well! Portions were pretty good and flavors were amazing. I really could talk about the duck forever. So flavorful, tender, and perfect on a bed of rice. This is the place to go to when you're craving Thai food in Palm Springs. There is no one better!

There is certainly a wait on a busy night if you don't have any reservations. It was on the main boulevard downtown and the locals there all seemed to look at us and stared as if they'd never seen any other rac3 other than their own. We were clearly visiting and it was our first time. The people in the area and in the restaurant just looked and it felt awkward. We put our names down and waited. We stood there waiting for a while and the host didn't execute their job correctly. I saw parties coming in that were given tables before us. They sat others before us. The people literally just walked in and got a table meanwhile we were standing outside and noticed that. We mentioned this to them and we finally got a table. I also noticed that other rac3 like m!norit!es here end up waiting me awhile the others seem to just waltz in. The food was alright. They said they noodles had no fish sauce but it clearly tasted like it did. The portion was a lot but for the price it was a bit high. We asked for chili and they said they didn't have it. What Thai restaurant doesn't have chili? Lol I think they were lazy. There was also a creep sitting behind our table that positioned himself to sit in front on the sidewalk and gawk and stare at women the entire time which made us feel uncomfortable. He sat there longer than we dined in and was still there when we left. The staff kept asking him if he needed anything because he as camping. They eventually tried to give him the boot by giving his receipt so he can pay and go so others can use the table. He was staring and looking at women passing by and gawking for a LONG TIME turning his head 180 from left to right. Overall just an awkward experience all around. Too pricey, overrated, service was mediocre, needs improvements. (also, parking is horrible, so find one that's public inside the block, parking lot or side streets).

Their spring roll was a bit pricy for it being veggie and it was the length of my iPhone. Their veggie egg rolls were pretty good but we were bummed they were out of the regular ones.

Seriously, the staff is always engaging and friendly. During one visit I was lucky enough to meet one of the owners. Her husband being the other, if I recall correctly. She shared some stores of the restaurant and asked us questions as well. She was amazing and I learned some cool Thai cooking tricks. The food is great. I don't go often, since it's a little further than I usually go. So, when I do go, it's because I want their food and their experience. It's a unique place that combines a "dining" night out with a comfortable night out. And that's not only the food, really, the whole place and its people are nice and easy to feel at home around. Price wise, it's a bit more than some; however, it is also set in a calm and more intentionally designed place than most in the area. It's a place to go and chat with friends, date night, of a self treat, because there isn't a sense that you need to hurry. In fact, I think they would prefer you savor your time with them, instead of hurry. Parking is easy.

On our journey to Palm Springs my team left the food choices to me since I'm picky. Lol. We showed up on a Wednesday night (note that they do not open Monday and Tuesday), around 4:40 PM. There was already a long line of individuals waiting to get in. There were about 15 people ahead of us. At opening, we were immediately sat down into the second dining room to the right of the restaurant. It gives a different vibe than the main room with its red bench seating and lantern ceiling. Although the benches were high, and the tables were a little low, we managed. Of course, we tried the complementary congee. Which I love, but my colleagues were not a big fan of. We ordered the calamari and the crispy beef noodle. We also ordered the shrimp and mango spring roll, the softshell crab and green papaya salad, and the pork belly lettuce wraps. The shining stars, for my colleagues were the calamari and crispy beef noodle. Followed by the shrimp and mango spring rolls and the softshell crab. The three of us did not enjoy the pork belly at all even though it came recommended. We actually only ate 2 pieces. The food overall was good although we wish we didn't get the pork or at least stuck to our goal of four main dishes. The waitress recommended we get one more and that's when we added the pork. Next time we will go with our gut instinct. One thing that was disappointing on this visit was that when we ordered drinks, one of them came out in a can. We were under the assumption it was a draft pour. For $14 it should have been noted that it is canned. The way that it is written into the menu no one would assume otherwise.

To be fair, I am not a huge fan of most Thai food because I find it all a little sweet…read more But, I do enjoy Bangkok Noodles because I have found some dishes that are more savory. My two go-to appetizers are the spring rolls and the fried tofu. The spring rolls have a lot of lettuce in them, which I like. They are cut up into smaller pieces than a Vietnamese place might do. It comes with a peanut sauce. The fried tofu has a dipping sauce, but I tend to supplement with the little caddy of sauces on the table. I've gotten noodles and tofu dishes at this location. They're always fine; never quite what I am hoping for, but good. The place is quite small and sometimes a little warm. (I totally understand saving money on AC, when there aren't many people coming in.) Food comes out pretty fast. Iced tea is served in a big to go cup, which I appreciate. Prices are reasonable. Portion sizes are pretty big.

The seasoned ground chicken tasted good and then there was lettuce. The lettuce "leaves" consisted of 4 pita chip sized core piece. No wrapping was going to happen with this. Moving forward, we get our Thai elsewhere.

This is review mainly for the mistake of giving our food away by accident. Actually, it wasn't…read moregiven away, but it was taken/stolen from an uBer Eats delivery person. We placed a large order in advanced online, ample of time for them to make. Upon arrival, our food was nowhere to be found. Apparently it was grabbed by someone else by mistake or on purpose. My question is, why does this establishment place their online and phone orders by the doorway? The orders are placed on a shelf by the door and food that have been sitting there can be taken by anyone. Supposedly, we were told that it wasn't the first time it's happened. That is has been happening lately that people have been grabbing food either by mistake or taking them. Why now are they doing anything about it? Why didn't they fix that issue when it happened the first time? This is the first time I've ever seen any food spot place togo orders by the door that way. I'm not sure if it's laziness or that's more efficient and quicker for them to get rid of the order. That's a huge problem right there. Anyone can take food by mistake or just plain steal them. This place is small. The staff should have delivery personnel come up to the register and ask for the orders. It's not that hard. All orders should be behind the counter. Apparently a delivery guy came in there and grabbed an order then proceeded to take our bag as well. It's a logistics issue that shouldn't even be a concern. They did fix the problem but we had to wait for them to remake everything all over again so we had to wait again. We the customers had to ask them to accommodate us and have them solve their problems. The staff are young people. They were nice about it but I suggest better service and be more attentive and quick. It was an $80+ order and the food was alright. Expensive and was mediocre. Need more flavor on most and the position could be better. Overall, they did fix the issue, but this place needs to do better.
