Amazing food and value Have the dumpling soup!! I wish the other dumplings were panfried not deep fried but that is a preference not really a fault read more

Extremely good Thai food here. It's always good. I particularly enjoy the curry dishes.

The food was amazing. High quality ingredients and preparation. I was very impressed.

By far the best Thai food around. Everything is so flavorful, and the portions are huge. Be cautious because their 1 spice (mild) is spicy, not for a sensitive palate! Prices are a bit high, but definitely get enough food for at least two meals. The location is small, carry out only, and you do have to call ahead- expect to wait anywhere from 30 mins to 2 hours once you order but it's worth it. read more

See all

So, it's called Thai Chili. Well, it's been a minute since we Funksters reviewed an eating establishment outside of the Indy City, so let's get to it. The Very Delectable Mrs Funk and I have been from Tucson to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonahpa. We've eaten every kinda food that's ever been made but we love the Thai food cause it's what we crave... and if you give us weed, whites and wine and you show us a sign... We'll be Willin'...?!? Wait, wait, wait.. that's a Little Feat song. Getting my passions crossed here.. If you give us noodles, veggies and Thai basil we'll be fine... just go easy on "The spice level!" Holy Hot Peppers Batman this joint is not called "Thai Chili" for nothing! We did: Drunken Noodle: Mild - Tasty yet more than mild heat. Veggie Lovers: No spice, well not quite. and Thai Basil: Medium - multiple body parts, upper and lower, sweating profusely! Anyway, would we return? You bet yer hot pepper bottom we'd be Willin', just with an adjusted understanding of HOT HOT HOT... and BTW, thank you Billy Payne for the fine, fine piano interlude. read more

LOCAL GEM! I just tried this for the first time today and will definitely go back. Friendly service with amazing and authentic food.

Always delicious, clean and friendly. Love dinners out at Thai Chili! Pad Thai and their soup is outstanding.

Great cute little place in the plaza off walker & 83. Last time I went swamped and had a long wait for food which the husband told all of us. One kitchen one chef pumping out the orders. Lots of to-go biz. So my brother went back & no problem that time. So we both popped in for dinner & seated right away food out quick. Cool husband & wife team. Great Thai I did the masaman curry, medium spice & savory like a bisque would be. Orange color, delicious. Chicken in there with some onion & potato. Rice on the side. I use chopsticks even tho Thais don't. $27. Bro got the green curry it's great. I really like Thai food, in particular all the curries. Will be back & u should too. 5 stars for Warm belly!! read more

Thai Chili - Masaman curry so good!! Little potatoes in there. - Thai Near Me - Avon Lake, Ohio

By far the best Thai place in the area. Have been here a few times now and each time is better than the last. There sometimes are long waits (2 hours plus) but well worth the wait. Just plan ahead read more

Thai Chili's Pad Thai and Massaman curry were both fresh tasting and delicious. The portions are also huge! We got mild spice which was just right on the Pad Thai but too little on the curry. Looking forward to trying them again and figuring out the best spice level. But we'll definitely go back. read more

Phenomenal! Worth all the waiting and all the struggles that come with getting food to go from them! Fresh, well balanced, food done with care and respect! read more

6 STARS! When I'm able to order my meal with choice of protein, spicy level, and veggies...I am down!! The Tom Yum soup could cure the worst hangover. Bring back those chicken egg rolls read more

Delicious and authentic Thai. Arguably the best Thai in Cleveland. They're wildly popular and often sell out/have to stop taking orders as it's just a one wok husband/wife shop, understandably the food takes longer because of this but it's WORTH IT. Highly recommend!!! read more

This has quickly become a weekly order. The friendly family owned restaurant is a diamond within Avon lake. The husband is very politely and helpful when taking orders. Answers any and all questions and gives recommendations. The wife, also the cook, is absolutely amazing in the kitchen. I have gotten the chicken pad thai and the potstickers..by far the best I've had in Ohio. Right down to the Thai chili sauce, everything is beyond delicious. If you haven't tried. You're missing out. Go! read more

The food is outstanding and the owner goes out of his way to accommodate your special request. The Tom Yum soup is delicious!!! read more

Fantastic and authentic! It's a husband wife team, take out only. Food is cooked to order and it's just delicious!

12/10 customer service and the food is fire! Take out only so the place is tiny and cute!

Thai Chili is my favorite Thai restaurant in Cleveland. The Tom yum soup is the best. The owners are super nice and friendly. I usually come in for the lunch special which is a great deal. You get a spring roll and cup of Tom yum soup for starters before the meal. I'd like to come back and try the dinner menu, it looks good. read more

Thai Chili - Ginger delight lunch special - Thai Near Me - Avon Lake, Ohio

Best Thai food outside of Thailand. Wife and husband owned. Nice, clean with wonderful food. Price is affordable. One of my fav restaurants

This is easily the best Thai food in the state. They've decided to run a small business, and if you're not ready to wait an hour for your food, you really ought to try somewhere else. It is worth the wait, though. note: the restaurant doesn't offer delivery through Yelp. You should not order through Yelp. I don't know why there's a delivery link here... It is not legit. read more

It's important to support local. It's important to be flexible in these challenging times. I've been a patron of Thai Chili for several years. I was TERRIBLY disappointed in my last visit. It was gross! I understand they are out of several things but just don't offer the dish. PHAD Thai is more than fish sauce and soy sauce. The PHAD Thai was DISGUSTING! My husband had the Garlic Dish and it was good (thus 2 Stars) and the Thom Ka was super sweet without much lime flavor but the vegetables were fresh. It was frustrating- I so wanted to love my meal. But ended up throwing my Main Dish out. read more

Been an occasional customer of Thai chili for several years, and is hands down the best Thai food I've had in the area. Admittedly it can be hard to reach them but at the same time know it's because SO many other people realize how good the food is and are calling to get an order in as well. As long as they are open and taking orders, I'll be a happy customer :) The owner is so nice as well! Really a top notch mom & pop kind of place. read more

There is always a long wait for takeout, so plan ahead. The reason it's a long wait is because it is really great Thai. The best I've had. I love the Green Curry and the Pad Thai! read more

Went by on a Wed. evening right when they reopened at 4:30 pm. Note: They have the hours of 11 - 1:45 and then 4:30 - 6:45 - yes, this is odd but as you read on you will be able to understand why. Ordered Golden Bags (appetizer $6.75), small Tom Kha soup $7.25, Thai Cashew with Chix. $12, Pad Thai with Chix. $12 and Jungle Curry Vegi with Chix. $13 - total bill $51. Our favorite Thai place up to this point was Cravings in Rocky River but we feel they push the envelope way too much on price - did a comparative look at the menus and Cravings would have costed $65 for the above. But, you ask quality though, don't you? Brace yourselves ... it's exceptional. For the past few years we have hit all the Thai places in the area and we can safely this this probably gets the nod as the best - right up there with Cravings in Rocky River. The flavors throughout all the dishes was super!. Here is the kicker for me - I asked for Thai Hot - and guess what - it was Thai Hot! Imagine that! I have asked, begged, got down on my hands and knees, pleaded, shed tears, and rarely do I get anything that I would consider spicy from the others. Not here ... no begging necessary ... they delivered! Now the drawback ... and there has to be a drawback ... they tout themselves as a "small, one chef, one wok kitchen". So that means not a lot can come out of that kitchen. And that means orders will get backed up. To give you an idea, I overheard them taking phone orders at 4:35 pm and they were providing a pick-up time of 5:15 - and that was on a Wednesday! I can only imagine how it is on a Friday or Saturday. That probably explains their hours - if the the wait for food is an hour and a half and you place your order at 6:30 - you are looking at getting it around 8 pm. Realistically they could not take an order at 9:00 pm and have to still be open until almost 11 pm and they have not started to clean up yet. Also, it seems like their operation is just husband and wife, so there are no extra hands. But in the end, plan accordingly, and you will experience some fantastic Thai food! read more

very good food did not have bubble tea the day i was there not sure if usually available or not overall good

Terrific service and flavorful food. Takeout only. Husband and I enjoy the mild sauce. Lunch portions have been trimmed down. We enjoy the Thai Basil and Ginger dishes the most. Chicken, Beef or Shrimp all fab (get less protein with shrimp due to price, I imagine) Meal used to come with the Tom Yam soup, but no longer. It is a spicy, but delicious! read more

Absolutely amazing! The lunch prices are great. They are only open certain days now...I don't blame them. All of the food is handmade per order read more

I love this place. Best drunken noodles, thin ka soup, curries, satay. Great for take out.

I love this little carry-out place. You can eat there if you want, but it's very small. It's meant to be mostly carry-out. The hours are really bizarre, but it's perfectly timed for lunch and dinner. I always get their drunken noodle or pad se ew dish with mild spice. The rice noodles are cooked perfectly, the veggies have a crunch, and I love the sauce. I wouldn't recommend going over medium because Thai spicy is a level higher than American spicy (in my option). Anything above medium is too spicy for me. My sister gets the tofu Thai basil dish which is delicious also. The staff is very friendly and my order has always been ready by the time they give me to pick it up. Highly recommend this place for some Thai food! read more

Have tried ordering here 3 different times. Today, I got a message that they were busy. Called 20 times. Never got anyone to answer.

Fantastic little spot that is big on flavors and food quality. So many good choices here, you can't go wrong. The owners and food are both top notch! read more

I've been meaning to review Thai Chili, but I always go there when I'm at work so I just forget when I get back to work. I have posted a picture though. So I work near Thai Chili but I don't live that close to it, and one Saturday I was craving Thai food so I went to a local Thai place and after eating I thought, "damn Thai Chili is way better than this place." Well it turns out Thai Chili is the best Thai place I've ever been to. read more

This has been my favorite Thai place in years, the owners know my order and never get anything wrong. There isn't better Thai anywhere in the cleveland area! If you're in town, you've gotta stop by. They're VEGAN FRIENDLY and have plenty of delicious options for plant-based people like myself. read more

My favorite Thai Food place, and favorite restaurant in Avon Lake by far. Best Pad Thai and Tom Yum soup. Husband and wife who own provide great service! read more

Best and most authentic, delicious, flavorful, Thai food on the west side! Great service but not fast, remember it is all made fresh to order with one cook and one server in the entire place. VERY short, specific open hours, so check before you go. Worth the wait - it is DELICIOUS CRAVABLE food! read more

The best Thai food in the area by far and the owners are extremely nice as well!! They have the the absolute best tom kha soup! Some of our other favorites dishes - green curry, massaman curry, drunken noodle, basil fried rice. read more

I was incredibly excited to eat at Thai Chili, I've been wanting to try it out because of the great ratings. When I entered the restaurant for dinner there was no one else in the dining area. I asked the man behind the counter if I could sit and he said yes but that the wait would be over an hour long. He said that they had to fulfill their carry out orders first. I have never ever heard of a restaurant that functions like that! I immediately left, It was quite unfortunate. read more

Fantastic food. Absolutely love the Tom Yum soup. Everything is so fresh and made to order.

Husband and wife obviously don't want to grow their business, unless this place is meant to be carry out only there is no excuse for such slow service. Their main excuse is that there is only one cook. Great, so get another cook. I see them turning away person after person because the wait is too long/not enough space. It's sad because their food is decent. I understand that this place is first come first serve but don't ignore the fact that being popular means you need to hire accordingly. Don't give me this "husband and wife owned" bullshit. People don't want to spend more time waiting than eating, not worth it. I can't understand why these people would be so dumb and not open their eyes to new opportunities. read more

I continue to really enjoy the various dishes. I get the 1.5 stars of spicy level which is just spicy enough for me. I personally like to get take out but there is a small sit down area for those who want to dine in with around 5-6 tables. I really liked the Panang curry, the Red Curry, the Drunken noodle and the crispy vegetable rolls so far. The Pad Tai was okay but not my go to dish. I like to try a new dish each time as I like variety. Their times that they open are a little to be desired but I think it's because it's just the husband (takes orders and serves) and wife(cook) who work their so its limited. The taste is very authentic and thus is a true cook to order "mom and pop" restaurant. I am close to giving it 5 stars but times they are open dropped it to 4 as there have been a number of times I tried to order after getting home from work and they were already closed. read more
