The Thai food is a little less authentic than some of the places nearer to me, but the food is good. It's kind of dumbed down for the non-asians, but more authentic than Panda Express. A little sweet for my taste on some of the dishes. Try the Hot Pots (soup). There's a seafood soup with a funny name loaded with meat and veggies. Very nice, lighter fare. Pair it up with white rice and a papaya salad. read more

It's been a while since we've been to Thai Chili, and I forgot how GOOD the food is! We usually come for their lunch specials because they're such a good deal, and my husband and I split one. He takes the salad, I take the soup, and then we split the entrée. This time we got the pineapple curry and OMG. Mmm, mmm, MMM. Every bite. The soup was delicious, the pineapple curry was packed with flavor, and I already know the salad is good because their dressing is bomb. The flavors here are always so on point. My only complaint food-wise is the rice portion is a little skimpy. If you're going to split the lunch special like we do, you'll definitely need some extra rice. But if you're trying to be super skimpy and have an affordable lunch for two, this is the way to do it! The Thai tea was a little pricey, but honestly, I think it's probably around market price these days. Now, the service and ambiance? Ehhh. You basically walk in, put your name on a little sign-in sheet, and wait to be seated. There's not much of a greeting or interaction, and the ambiance is just regular and chill, nothing special. Soooo I started this review thinking it was five stars, but now that I'm writing it out... it's probably more like a solid four-star experience with FIVE-STAR FOOD. Because let's be real, you're not coming here for the ambiance. You're not really coming for the service. You're coming because the food is freaking delicious and the lunch specials are a great deal. If you're cool with meh ambiance, meh service, good prices, and DELICIOUS food, Thai Chili is where you want to go. read more

He had been missing Thai food since moving to the inland empire. Thai chili was recommended by our neighbor. We stopped by on a Monday night and it wasn't too busy. The left door is for dine in and the right door is for to go orders. We placed it to go order of barbecue chicken and pad see ewe. Order took about 10 minutes, not a long way at all. The staff were really kind and friendly. Food was overall OK. Maybe we have high standards because we lived in an area with a larger Asian population. We may come back again to give it another shot and try something else! read more

We ordered take out for a family party and some of the dishes were Shrimp Pan Thai, Ginger Fish, Orange Chicken, and Beef Salad. The flavor of the dishes tasted wonderful, many different flavors. My only minor complaint on the food was the sauce and the ginger fillets were not separated which caused the fish fillet after taking it home to be soggy and not crispy. I realize my party should have asked for the sauce and fish to be separated but usually when we order this dish to go the management would separate them. We will have to inform them next time. Service was good. The owner was attentive, patient, and gave me my to go order on time. The place was busy but the vibe when you entered was inviting. I would bring my friends and family back to this place. read more

MAAANNNNN THIS HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE THAI FOOD SPOT FOR YEARS... And they still haven't fallen off in my humble opinion.. the service is always top notch and they are so nice. I've never had food from here that I didn't like. My go to is the spicy shrimp or squid salad and the pad kee mao noodles with beef or duck- they add $4 for duck which I think is a bit much but I digress lol...always get medium spicy for the perfect blend of spice and flavor, but won't b too much spicy that it makes the food not enjoyable. The lunch specials are good and it's a chill vibe too.. good for date night or a larger party as well... if you're looking to try Thai u won't go wrong eating here trust me..... read more

I go here often, maybe once a month or so. The food is consistently tasty. I love how the pad Thai is saucy and not dry (biggest problem I see at other Thai restaurants), and how the spices in everything are just right depending on what you adjust it to. The mango sticky rice is also a perfect ending to the meal. The inside is calming with dim lights and service very fast, we get our food under 20 minutes for the most part or 10 if they're not busy! I will always recommend this place to friends. read more

This is some really good Thai food. Egg rolls were the best ever. Pad Thai portion was huge and would easily feed you for a week or you can just scarf it down there. Will be back, for sure. read more

Dinner well served here! Not too busy on a Sunday evening. Came about an hour and a half before closing time! Love the Pad Thai ... I could finish the whole plate by myself but I had to share!! Ordered the Chicken Broccoli which was rich in flavor but broccoli were too hard for me. I wish they were cooked a little bit more for tenderness!!! The rest of the family ordered THAI CHILI ROASTED DUCK MONGOLIAN BEEF Three Ways Fish Can't finish dinner without sticky rice and mango!!! Was so delish .... Slices of ripe Mangoes complimented the sweet salty sticky rice !!! I will definitely come back to have Pad Thai and Pad Si IU read more

The yellow curry is awesome! Orange chicken is very orangey. nice change from the chinese orange chicken I usually get from other places. 3 ways fish was a bit sweet for me but overall this place has is solid. i would go back and recommend. read more

"I took my niece here to eat few weeks ago, and overall, the food was pretty good. We ordered the Drunken Noodles, Combination Fried Rice, and Spring Rolls. The Spring Rolls were okay--I'd give them about a 6 out of 10--but everything else was delicious and full of flavor.The customer service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. I look forward to coming back and trying more items from the menu. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely visit again!" read more

Tried this place few weeks back. Was disappointing. Food - we ordered chicken Pad Kee Mow spicy, Pineapple fried rice with shrimp and chow mein. The food lacked flavor and authenticity. I love Thai food and have tried several places. I was excited about trying this place, it's mediocre . The amount of food for the price was disappointing as well. Ambience- I went in thru" pick up" only entrance, it was bit dark and there too many tables chairs that gave the space a cluttered feel. I am not sure if that space is used for something, but a some light and re- arranging will make it feel welcoming. There is ample parking. If they make some adjustment to menu and sprucing up this place has potential to thrive because it's in good location . read more

One of my favorite local Thai spots. Tom kha soup is wonderful! I've had over the years Pad Thai, orange chicken, garlic and pepper chicken, yellow curry, summer rolls, chicken fried rice... Never been dissatisfied. Love their lunch specials as well. read more

Thai Chili has always had good food and service and the ambiance is very basic. The reason for the average rating is simply, their prices far exceed their portions. They disguise the portion sizes with their serving dishes, very sad.! A suggestion..increase your portions! read more

Delicious and authentic Thai food in Calimesa. Great balance of flavors, and good serving portion. The waitresses are polite and patient. Definitely recommend Pad Thai, Pad see ew and combination fried rice. Always consistent each time we have gone. read more

Amazing Lunch Special and Amazing Flavor at an Amazing Price! Thai Chili is a diamond in the rough, located in a quaint shopping center in Calimesa. As new residents of Yucaipa, my wife and I wanted to find somewhere new to eat at. Thai Chili didn't disappoint. The restaurant is constantly busy, yet the service is solid. Food comes out quick and the flavor rivals any of the local Thai places we've tried in the inland empire! Must try: Tom Kha Soup, Pad Thai, Pineapple Curry, Yellow Curry and Thai Tea read more

My daughter and I ate here on 6/24/26. We had the green curry beef lunch special and the red curry beef lunch special. We both had bad stomach cramping and diarrhea for the next two days. I spent $50 on lunch that made us sick. Won't be back! read more

My husband I went to Thai Chili on the recommendation of a friend. We tried it 4 times just to be fair. First time: The service was rushed, we barely had time to look at the considerable menu, before the waitress was asking what we wanted. Second time: The service was adequate. The food was on the greasy side. The Third time: as every other time, the food was not hot. My husband ordered a dish with cellophane noodles, that as supposed to be spicy. There was nothing spicy about it, nor was it made with cellophane noodles!!! The Fourth time: The MAJOR PROBLEM was the condition of the restroom, it was FILTHY!!! We walked in, ordered an appetizer, I had to use the restroom. Needless to say, once I walked out of there. We paid for the appetizer, which we couldn't even eat. Then promptly went somewhere else to eat !!!! NEVER AGAIN. My stomach turns just thinking about eating there ever again. read more

Always excellent ! Chicken green curry is BOMB ! Chicken Saté is great ! Looking forward to returning soon.

This is a good local spot. We got there not long after opening and it was already packed. That's always a good sign. This was my husband's first time trying Thai food and he fell in love. He loved the variety of sauces. However, take heed, because many sauces cost extra to try on the side. I'm a Thai beginner so I'm pretty boring with my lunch special of beef and broccoli. The food was fresh and light. Service was fast and efficient. We will definitely return to try more dishes. Pro tip: Come Monday-Friday for the lunch special, it comes with a light soup and salad so you're sure to leave full. read more

Tried calling several times to place a take out order, and got no answer. I walked in to place an order, and informed them that I tried calling, and they said they had no calls come in. Ordered two entrees for $32 plus tip, and was given a buzzer and told to wait until it went off. I patiently waited in my car for almost AN HOUR. The buzzer never went off, they never called me when they had my phone number for the order. I walked in asking if my food was done, only to be told it's been sitting on the counter (for however long). I get home, our food is now cold, soggy, and the portions are ridiculously small for the price. Overall really disappointed with the experience. The Pad Prik King was delicious though, but you only get like 6 pieces of meat. read more

The best Thai! My work orders from here 5-6 times a month (and for years!) and it has never disappointed. The food is always fresh and flavorful. Favorites include: Summer rolls (the green sauce is SO good!) Egg rolls Thai boat beef noodle soup Orange chicken Cashew chicken Pad Kee Mow beef (get mild if you don't like spicy) Yellow curry Tom Kha soup My coworkers all love the Pad Thai (I think too sweet) and the pineapple fried rice as well. Their prices are great and the portions are good. I eat at Mu and Benjerong in Redlands sometimes but I totally prefer Thai Chili (plus Mu is crazy expensive!) The parking is fine, sometimes you have to park far away in the lot and walk but it's not that far. We get it to go and they always have the order correct and ready what it's supposed to. Friendly staff too!!! read more

I recall trying Thai Chili the first time we moved into the area nearly 7 years ago and forgot why we haven't returned until now. Decided to give it another shot and sure GLAD we did! Food is excellent and is purely authentic Thai food - nothing fancy, no twists, no surprises, and not trying to mix and match multiple Asian styles. Just simply delicious Thai food! Excellent service, friendly staff, ambience is great for any setting if you decide to dine here, environment is wonderful for any occasion, and prices are standard (given inflation all around). Parking is plenty as it's a shared Plaza space, but can get quite hectic during rush hour. We typically get food to go and they package it nice and sturdy to avoid any spillage (so far). Every single item ordered this go round we absolutely loved - pineapple fried rice, papaya salad, chicken panang curry, Tom yum soup with shrimp (probably will get mild spicy next time, family couldn't handle the heat but I thoroughly enjoyed it!), pad thai, thai iced tea, and fried banana with coconut shavings (never cared about this dish until now). Having been to Thai land a few years ago, we're very particular about these main dishes and, thankfully, Thai Chili doesn't disappoint! Their authentic dishes are a generous reminder of all the Thai delicacies embedded into our memories. Next round, hoping to try their spicy eggplant and steamed fish (if available). My wife and I have different tastes and preferences, but this time we agreed on every single dish - we craved for more! Love to see having local restaurants having some competition - more choices within a few minutes from home without having to drive for hours! I'll go off the limb to stay that Thai chili and Yuthaipa are top Thai food competitors in the area. If I were to select one (although both are incredibly wonderful), it'd have to be Thai Chili. Highly recommended food spot for both dine in and dine out! read more

My family and I absolutely love this place--it's become one of our go-to spots for Thai food. The food is always delicious, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we've tried has been consistently good, which keeps us coming back. One thing I really appreciate is how accommodating and friendly the staff are. Whether we're dining in or taking our time to decide what to order, they're always patient and attentive without being overbearing. The servers are super chill and make you feel right at home. The ambience is cozy and inviting, with a relaxed vibe that makes it perfect for both casual dinners and small family celebrations. It's one of those places where you can sit back, enjoy your meal, and not feel rushed. This is actually my mom's favorite Thai restaurant, and she's picky about her food--so that says a lot! If you're looking for great Thai food with a welcoming atmosphere and consistently good service, I'd definitely recommend this spot. read more

We got take out from them for the first time and loved it. We will definitely return.

The food was awesome. The pad Thai was too sweet for me. Everything else that we had was amazing. Definitely going there again.

Excellent and authentic Thai food. This is a family owned restaurant that prides itself on serving the best quality meats and seafood. Although the dishes are traditional, they are infused with time-tested and honored family recipes. Additionally, the cleanliness of the premises is to be commended. The servers are Thai and augment the authenticity of the culinary experience. I highly recommend this restaurant as I have experienced Thai food in many different US cities and around Europe and Australia. read more

I had dinner here on Lunar New Year 2023. It's located in an outdoor shopping center with a somewhat large parking lot. The restaurant is moderate in size and modern in decor. The vibe was casual and relaxed. Parking was easy as the lot and restaurant were fairly empty. Seating and ordering was quick. The menu boasted a large selection. Most items had a choice of chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, tofu and vegetables. I was relieved there were so many vegetarian options. We ordered the summer rolls with tofu, Sweet and Sour Pork, Pad Si Iu, Garlic Tofu and brown rice. Everything arrived in a timely manner, was in good portion, was plated well and was very tasty. The flavors and spicing were delicious. If you like garlic you'd probably like the one of their garlic dishes. The garlic in the tofu plate was quite strong although the sauce was a bit watery for me. Service was outstanding. The waitress was friendly and helpful. The two gender specific, single user restrooms were modern, spacious and clean. I will definitely visit again. If not for the food, then to see the adorable outdoor cat patron. :) read more

We were stuck in traffic did hours trying to get home on Coachella weekend. (No we didn't go to Coachella but we had a work trip planned on an unfortunate weekend.) We had stretched the family to the limit and needed something that wasn't too far off the freeway and more substantial than fast food. A search on Yelp led us here and we're glad that it did! Service was quick and easy. Seriously our food was done with 10 minutes of ordering. Everything was made fresh with what seemed like quality ingredients. We got: Pad See Ew - This was flavored well and the noodles were the perfect texture. There was plenty of chicken and bok Choy to fill out the dish. Thai Fried Rice - It was what you would expect and flavored well. Again the chicken was plentiful. Egg Rolls - These were crispy and light with just a little bit of vegetable filling Orange Chicken - This was our least favorite. It has a strong orange find flavor. However we did like the texture. All in all it was the perfect respite for our long drive. I'm glad we chose this over some of the other choices in the area. read more

Outside of Thailand, this is the best Thai food I have had. The seasoning and flavors danced through my mouth. We had BBQ Pork Noodles (dry), Chicken Chow Mien, Egg Rolls, two Tsing Tao Beers and fried bananas with coconut. All for $57.38 plus a $12.00 tip. It was well worth the money. The service was good for being the lunch hour. Serving sizes were huge. read more

Dry noddles and hardly any meat. No way the pad Thai is fresh. Do yourself a favor and drive to Yucaipa or Redlands for better Thai food. Supported this place long enough and I just can't anymore. read more

Delicious food and service was wonderful. We came in right before closing and they still sat us down and didn't rush us.

We came through for dinner. It was fairly busy, but we were seated after a 10 minute wait. Our server was really friendly and checked on us often, despite her section being packed. We decided to order a few dishes and split them up, family style (party of 3). We got the pad kee mow with tofu, the Thai fried rice with tofu, and the orange chicken substituted with tofu. Our food came out pretty quick and everything looked delicious! The serving sizes were generous, and we were all full by the end of dinner. All of the food was delicious! The pad kee mow had a little bit of spice, the fried rice went well with the spicy sauce they provided, and the orange chicken had such a fresh flavor that really set it apart from other savory orange dishes (like the Panda Express orange chicken). Had a really great dinner here, and highly recommend coming by for a good meal! Also recommend their Thai ice tea! read more
