Not a fan of their pad Thai,it was ok.Delivery took an hour and a half so by the time I received my food my stomach was already eating itself lol.the egg rolls were great and I loved the Mango w/sticky rice read more

* Service: very friendly and attentive * Ambiance: clean and nicely remodeled. * Food: - Tofu Gapow(mint leaves w/ tofu): really goood!!! Not your average gapow since they put sliced bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and broccoli in it---good in its own style. - the portions are pretty big for their lunch special $7.95 (yummy soup, fried eggroll, and entree). read more

If I could give this establishment no stars, I would! We placed a delivery order and was told 45-65 minutes. Fine. No problem. We started calling at 80 minuets. First there was no answer then they called us to say 10 more minutes since it was such a big order and they were soooo busy! No sorry, no nothing! Sooo no more of my money! Screw it! They aren't the only Thai restaurant in town. read more

This restaurant is very unusual... I think this restaurant is far better than many of Thai restaurant I visited. Probably not the number one but I think this place is awesome. The waitress bring a very interesting culture experience. I am happy with their patience and put their effort at best to serve the table full of deaf customers. My meal came down front of me and they looks really good. The dish was licked clean. The price for me and my boyfriend is very reasonable. I definitely will go back to try more of their variety. I love how they turned carrot into a flower... beautiful, simply beautiful. read more

Small, predictable, and great food. OPEN ON SUNDAY! We go here regularly, about once a month or so. We have even ordered delivery and pick up orders, all with no issues. Drunken Noodles w/ beef Tom Yum Talay Pineapple fried rice w/ chicken Pad See Ew w/ beef Pad Thai w/ shrimp Thai spicy fried fish Everything is always cooked fresh, and very flavorful. The service is timely, but not overbearing or lacking. Water is always full, plates cleared when done etc.. Definitely a place we will continue to go! read more

I had lunch with my Sis and I ordered Pad Thai. I never order Pad Thai anymore but, it was on the lunch menu. It was very good. It came with bland soup, salad and a terrible eggroll. My Sis really liked her lunch special which was spicy basil chicken. She agreed about the sides. All in all, we had a nice lunch which we both enjoyed. My Sis has been back a few times since and enjoys their lunch specials. read more

I love love love the food here. So yummy. This is a favorite spot of the boyfriend and I - he doesn't eat meat or chicken, so there are a lot of choices for both of us. He does eat seafood and the shrimp here is always perfect. We almost always get crab fried rice (amazing. I really wanted to not like it because I get annoyed that my boyfriend orders fried rice. WTF? They bring you rice, stupid!) but it is really delicious and different. We also almost always get shrimp roll appetizer - thin shrimp rolled tightly in a wrapper and fried. So good. I'm also a fan of their curries. Pad thai is not the best, I liked their drunken noodles better. My favorite is the BBQ chicken though. With that sweet/spicy sauce? You can't go wrong. read more

Used to think this place was fairly decent, but this evening pretty much cemented why I won't be ordering from them again. Wife and I called them up for delivery, and since I'm a huge fan of their red chicken curry, I ask for that, and some tiger beef. The man on the phone reads it back, and from what I can understand it sounds correct. The food arrives, and my dish is completely unrecognizable. I call them up, and the woman on the phone proceeds to tell me that since the man wrote down "lops chicken" (I dont even know what that is...) then clearly it was all my fault, and that it would take an hour to get my order correct and to me. Here's the issue: Literally everyone on the phone I have ever talked to has been nearly unintelligible, We've gotten forgotten items, the driver has returned because they drove off with our beverages, a whole slew of issues. The food is pretty good, but I have to say, the service if you're ordering take out is an absolute MUST AVOID. It absolutely burns me up being told that I personally ordered a dish I've never heard of. After all of that, the food that was correct arrived cold. Thanks guys. read more

This is a local diamond in the rough. Amazing food at inexpensive prices. The women running the front has amazing energy! Happy to support such a wonderful local business !!!! Thank you thai chili for the excellent food and service. read more

I don't understand the bad reviews for Thai Chili. While we've only been here twice, we (wife & I) have eaten lots of Thai over the years, including some of the glitzy places in L.A. Thai Chili has been superb so far, with everything we've tried extremely tasty, and as spicy as we asked for. Tom Yom Kai is faithful to tradition yet still is unique. Chicken Satay is all clean white meat; Panang is rich and spicy. So far, after 2 visits, we're solidly impressed. It's as good as we've ever had, and better than most. And staff is charming and attentive. read more

I went here with the boyfriend and I was not disappointed! The food is beyond ordinary thai food. I ordered the eggplant and tofu with egg flower soup. The egg flower soup was different from any other egg flower soup I've had. It was seasoned well and delicious. It had more of a peppery taste to it with some green onion. The sauce for the eggplant with tofu was the same. I was forced to put the sauce all over my rice as well since it was so good. My boyfriend ordered the Chow Mein and loved it. He can be a picky eater but he even liked the eggplant that I ordered! The service was exceptional. Our waiter was great. Always on the ball, asked if we liked the food and very good service overall. There are a lot of things that I still want to try on the menu. I will be back to this place. read more

Came here for dinner the other night w/GF...Ordered the tom yum seafood soup, pad see ew noodles and the thai bbq chicken. the soup was good but not enough seafood in it. The noodles were a little burnt and the noodles a little over-cooked. The chicken was definitely over-cooked and dry. It was hard to eat even w/the sweet-n-spicy sauce. Overall, it was just ok. Probably will not visit again. read more

I was sick last weekend and my wife was running errands, I asked her to pick up some thai, as I wanted soup and pad thai...only we haven't had thai in orange yet. So I hit up yelp and chose this place based on reviews. I was really happy with it, soup made me feel better and was delicious (Tom ka soup I think?) and the food was awesome as left overs the next day. I'd give it 5 stars, but since I did take out, I need to go and sit down to give it that extra star! haha. Thanks Thai Chili. read more

Thai Chili is a hidden treasure. The staff are so sweet, the ambience is aesthetically pleasing, and the food is just delicious. Whether I dine in or get it delivered (for free), I'm always thrilled with the food and service. It's hardly ever crowded so it's a great place to come for a relaxing dinner with someone. read more

I'm updating because I gave it another try and it was a lot better than the first time. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing during my first trip. Returned the other night and had shrimp pad thai, papaya salad, chicken curry, and some spicy soup. All were good. The service is good. Overall, good Thai food for the area. read more

I REALLY like this place!!! They deliver and they're FAST!! But most importantly, the food is GREAT!! -I usually get the yellow curry with chicken-medium. The chicken is thin and tender and has absorbed the flavors of the curry well. Getting this medium allows me to eat it without rice...like a stew. It usually lasts me 2 meals and I'm a pretty good eater. -I have also gotten the spicy shrimp fried rice. It's good but I just wish that they would give more shrimp. :/ -The shrimp pad thai is awesome!! Super yummy. -My friend got the beef satay combo and it came with a zillion things. Side salad, fried rice, fried wonton, & fried eggroll and like 4-5 sauces. He was EXTREMELY satisfied. Another friend said that she has dined here. She said that this place is very nice inside and that the mango sticky rice was the bomb!! read more

I love this place! This is my go to when I'm visiting home and craving Thai food! Let me tell you, this place is super busy with takeout orders. But the wait is well worth it. I stick to the same shrimp PD Thai plate and they always get it right! Great food and friendly service! read more

Thai Chili - Shrimp Pad Thai... Delicious! - Thai Near Me - Orange, California

So happy I found this place! Best little Thai place in Orange! The yellow curry is absolutely delicious. Honestly everything is so good. The staff is great and very accommodating! Cute decor and yummy food! I will definitely be going back :) read more

Usually, when my friends hype a place, I generally dont like it. This place was one of the few exceptions. The location is kind of weird. It is a large building the 2nd floor of which is Thai Chili. The building is odd and it doesn't look like much. Once you get inside though, the decor is nice. Enough about the looks of the place, lets dive into the real deal, the food. I have never been a big fan of curry, but I was feeling adventerous, so I tried the panang chicken curry. The dish was very delicious. The panang curry was mixed in with coconut milk which gave it a very smooth taste. The chicken in the curry was plentiful and the serving size was pretty generous. DELICIOUS main dish. I also ordered an appetizer of Thai dumplings...that was just pot stickers that were bought at the neighborhood asian food store. The "dumplings" were the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. I also ordered Thai tea with my dish which went really well with it. Always order Thai tea with Thai food :). I highly recommend the panang chicken curry. Overall, this place has excellent food, great service, it is pretty cheap, and it doesn't look too shabby. I recommend going in groups and getting there a bit before 2:00 to get in on the lunch specials, but after the lunch rush. read more

This is one of my favorite Thai places. The prices are great and the service is friendly and fast. I recomend their cury lunch specials, as they come with free salad or soup and are the perfect portion to get you through the day. It is not as hot as it sounds, even though they list it as hot. Believe me, I've been to Thailand and experienced tongue-numbing-hot curry. It is no where near that hot, but it has great flavor. For the longest time, my friend and I didnt think it was open because it is rather unassuming. But low and behold, we discovered a diamond in the rough. I have turned so many people on to this place at work and I have not recieved one complaint. I even forced some people in my office to go on my birthday (my birthday, my choice of place to eat) and there was something on the menu for everyone. read more

Another favorite place of mine. Great Thai food! I am not sure how I found this place, maybe I was driving by and saw it? I came here often when I worked in the area. They have really good lunch deals and the service is great! Parking is limited. read more

I think this place is one of those best kept secrets of Orange. Thai Chili is hidden in a small plaza with a hard-to-see sign, which explains the small amount of customers inside. I've been looking for a good Thai restaurant in Orange for a while, so I was so glad when I found Thai Chili. The staff are very friendly and the ambiance in the restaurant is gorgeous! Our food was brought to us promptly and had great presentation, with vegetable art and everything (example: I've had carrots brought to me in the shape of a flower and butterfly :) ) The price is pretty good considering what you get. I never finish my meal and always have some leftover for the next day, so paying $7.95 for that isn't bad at all! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting good, quick Thai food. Also, unlike a lot of Thai restaurants I've been to, the spicy fried rice is ACTUALLY spicy! read more

Thai chili has one of my favorite red curry chicken dishes I've ever had. I worked 5 minutes from here for about 3 years and had to make a lunch trip to thai chili at least a couple times a month. The prices here are a little on the pricier side for the food portions, but again, the food was good. read more

Thai Chili is a great little spot and they deliver! I love their Wonton soup on a cold day or when I am feeling under the weather. They pack the container with shrimp,wontons, tons of chicken and good veggies. The broth is so good and fresh ! Love the cilantro and garlic . The Larb is a must order! Also we love the drunken noodles, crying tiger and so much more. The same delivery guy always with a smile! Thank you read more

The best part if Thai Chili is their service. Always pleasant and easy to give my order to over the phone. They always tell me a 45 minute wait time but they always are here well before that ETA. Maybe 25-35 minutes. Now, about the food. It use to be much better. Like 4/5 stars better. It's not bad now, just mediocre. I always get the pad thai w/chicken and shrimp(spicy) and my wife orders pad w/chicken. As of late the noodles are "gummy" in consistency. Noodles are suppose to slide between each other, not gunk up into chunks. The flavor is ok, the spice helps. We'll split an appetizer of either thai dumplings or thai spring rolls. These were also average. The sweet and sour sauce for our spring rolls had been tipped and spilled(even though the lid was on) This made a few spring rolls soggy. The dumpling were just fine as usual. Steamed and soft. The soy sauce is perfect for them! In my opinion, they have BOMB thai iced tea! One of my favorites! Unfortunately it comes in one size, and they fill the cup 1/2 full with ice! But it's soooo good, I order 2! Thai Chili has a faithful customer in me as long as they don't go down further in quality (or Royal Thai Orchid starts delivering). read more

Ok Thai food. Didn't taste fresh. Couldn't finish my meal as it lacked the curry flavor and essential ingredients for Thai green curry. Would not recommend this place or go back. Streamed rice wasn't good. Overall waste of money. read more

My favorite chili place aruond!! Love love love the yellow chili. Tons of yummy carrotts and they even cut them into little butterflies. What? Yeah, this place rules. There is plenty to choose from & they have a lunch special menu which is pretty cheap. The staff is, well, a little clueless and ditzy at times, but they're super friendly and try to make up for it. I love coming here, I work nearby, so I've gotten many of my co-workers to try this place and they've all fallen in love as well. read more

Went there twice. Very inconsistent service. Second visit it took 14 minutes before someone took our drink orders. It wasnt busy. Just dont understand why it took so long. Then I ordered the house special bbq chicken dinner. Took 40 minutes to get to my table. The chicken was taste less. The fried rice tasted like leftovers that were two days old. No idea what happened to this place. First visit I got the number 2 special and it was really good. So no clue what went wrong tonight. Never going back though. read more

Great lunch special Monday thru Friday. For $1 more you can get Thai ice tea. My favorite is the soup that comes with lunch special. I would recommend chicken larb, chicken satay (hit or miss, sometimes it can be dry) , & yellow curry, & chicken basil read more

Yelped another great restaurant! Food was great, service was fast and the water was so good! OK, I'm a water snob We got yellow curry, chicken satay and Drunken Noodles. We asked for medium on the Drunken Noodles and they had a good bite. read more

Thank you Thai Chili!! First off, the Salmon Green Curry is AMAZINGGGG!! Very high quality and very tasty. I ordered delivery and it came super quick, I didn't even feel like I waited. The man who delivered was so sweet it made my day! Will order from here again read more

People say you can judge a place by how good their Pad Thai is, due to being so simple. The rest of their food must be REALLY good then, but I wouldn't know due to never being able to order anything BUT their excellent pad thai. I have searched high and low for any restaurant that can make such a simple dish so mouth watering as these folks do. When they where shut down for several months (due to smoke damage), I almost went through withdrawals not being able to find the same level of flavor Thai Chili offers. The staff is very friendly and the entire area is clean and friendly, though the water fountain makes you have to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes. Any time we can't decide on a place to eat, I will bring this place up, and more often than not everyone will agree this is the place to go. read more

Good solid choice for lunch. :) love the pad thai shrimp and yellow curry. read more

This has been on of my favorite thai restaurants in Orange for years. Delicious thai teas, drunken noodles, curry, etc. However, as I took my cousin there last night for the first time after telling her how awesome this place was, I was quite disappointed. We walked in around 830 (place closes at 9). The nice gentleman/server did not mind, sat us down and took our order. When we received our noodle dish I couldn't help but notice that majority of the plate was garnished with overly excessive lettuce (which it was bluntly obvious they were trying to cover their small portion size they were trying to give us). I debated about saying something but kept my mouth shut. Plus no one came to check on us or ask us if we needed refills on water, needed anything else, etc. (I want to add that the place was not busy at all-there were only 2 other tables with 2 people each in there at this time-so no we were to busy excuses). During dinner the clock must have struck 9 o'clock and up walked the rude lady (which I thought-finally someone is checking on us!). She came over and harshly put the bill down and said we are closed and proceeded to clear our table as we were mid bite. We told her we weren't finished and she walked away and came back with to-go plates. I understand the restaurant closes at 9 pm and she probably had a long day and wants to go home, but this is the worse customer service I have experienced. To rudely start picking up plates and while someone is mid-bite and make it obvious she wants us out of there. Needless to say, she made us pack up our food and had us leave because it was 9:01. The food here deserves a 4.5 but as the years have gone by the service as declined and is trending towards a 1 star. I wish management would speak to their workers about service because this place really dose have potential to be a full 5 stars. Too bad I will have to find another thai place in the area to satisfy my thai cravings because the service here is is to horrendous to go through again. read more

My husband and I were looking for a place to get a quick bite before my son's Back to School Night in Orange. He sent me the link to Thai Chili's menu and I figured that it's hard to go wrong with Thai food, so we agreed to meet there. What a local gem we discovered! Thai Chili is an awesome place for reasonably priced, delicious Thai food. The eggplant and pork in my dish were perfectly cooked and my husband loved his Tofu Red Curry! The staff is very sweet and attentive, coming over several times to check on us, refill water, and tell us that the awesome carrot cut-out on my dish was edible. Really sweet people. The thai iced coffee is delicious too. We also really loved that there was an entire additional page of the menu devoted to vegetarian dishes (in addition to most dishes having a tofu option). I'd love to put in some of the biting sarcasm or humor that's typical of my other reviews, but it just doesn't seem to fit in with such a sweet place. I'm just glad that we found a local Thai place that we love. I'm sure we'll be back again soon. read more

I simply love their food Especially the Chicken Larb and Yellow Curry. All their curries are very

Gotta love this place! The interior is a little dark, but there are crystal chandeliers and wall murals that make the place feel somewhat eclectic. Of course all the Poke Stops are a plus! We dined in, arriving around 8 PM. Some places get antsy if you arrive an hour within closing, but we were made to feel welcome and were not rushed to order. The food here was some of the best Thai food we have had in the area, and certainly compares very favorably to the Thai food we've eaten in Hollywood. The Mee Krob was light and crunchy with a nice citrus accent, the Panang Curry was flavorful and creamy, and the Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) were seasoned perfectly. We loved the food so much that we ordered some to go as well for a friend who could not make it out to the restaurant. The staff handled the extra orders without a problem and produced the dishes all wrapped up and ready to go just as we finished our meal. Fabulous service! read more

The service here is great. And they have the best orange chicken I've ever had-it's crunchy and sweet in the best ways. We walked in and were seated quickly with constant attention to service. I would definitely come back again or order for delivery. read more

It's a Poke Stop. Need I say more? Oh, and their food is fantastic. Everyone Imbe ever taken here has been pleased. The service always rocks, and the fountain is a great kid-pleaser. Their fish sauce with fresh slices of peppers makes my mouth (and eyes) water! I love their curries, and the BBQ spareribs are a part of our permanent to-go order. I also love that they deliver and are available right here on Yelp/Eat24. read more

Came for the lunch specials a few months back. Pros: Portion size and price (Lunch specials!) The decor Super friendly staff All the necessary Thai condiments I've come to expect, yet some Thai restaurants neglect to have Cons: IMO food was a little too sweet Anytime I visit a thai restaurant, I form my opinion based on their green curry. Even when ordering something very hot, it was still a little too sweet. Maybe, too much coconut milk or sugar? I can't say. The wife ordered pad thai, and she wasn't a fan. Still, my green curry by no means was bad, just good. Would I come back? Yes, I would, as it is the closest thai restaurant in my neighborhood and the food was decent enough to warrant a return visit. read more
