    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

    Thai Boat Beef Noodle Soup is SO good. Works great to-go too!

    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!!!

    Menu as of 6/6/25

    Love this place, eat here all the time, especially the green curry, drunken noodles, spicy eggplant, and mango sticky rice

    Pad Thai with Fried Rice

    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

    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.

    Pad Thai, orange chicken, yellow curry, fried rice

    Food was delicious!!! We had the pad Thai, orange chicken, fried rice and yellow curry and we were very impressed! Atmosphere was very cozy and comfortable! Service was a little rushed and not super welcoming but other than that a great experience!

    Chicken panang curry. Mmmm!

    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!

    Your orange chicken is too bitter. I think it's because you put in too much orange peel. Please put in less.

Waiters are pretty quick to get your drinks and orders. They even provided a little disposable plate for my toddler daughter, which we appreciated (especially since kids love to throw things). Just make sure you order entrees and dessert altogether, otherwise you'll have to wait until a waiter is available, they're always so busy! The ambiance is nice, and they have outdoor seating too with fruit trees and a fountain. Gets a little loud during peak times but no big deal. Parking is an issue though. Tight spaces and not enough lots. Though you can park around the block along the public road. 10/10 imo. And we'll always return, especially to try other menu items.

Everything flowed smoothly, which really elevated the whole experience.

The cocktails were tasty and presentable. Food is a decent size and shareable. However, I must say they lack ingredients like for curry it was really watery and plain, it didn't have veggies like I would get from other restaurants, there were some chicken pieces and a few tiny bits of potato. The crab fried rice and beef pad see eww didn't have that much protein but it's alright since there's equal veggies mixed in. Chicken wings were good but I would pass on the egg rolls, it was gritty and dry in my opinion. Mango sticky rice is not bad, your typical dessert like other places. The wait for bigger parties can take some time on weekend or peak time since it's a small restaurant. There's a few bigger tables all the way in the back of the restaurant. 20% gratuity is required for parties of 5 or more.
