    Quick dinner and delicious flavors is how I would explain this restaurant. You know it is a great establishment when you see people coming in constantly on a Thursday night both for seating and pick up. Plenty of space and seating for large groups, we had a party of 7, prices are fair, food order was exactly as ordered , staff is friendly, but food is phenomenal and so flavorful! The menu is huge with plenty to choose from, so no shortage of options. If I am ever back in the area I would definitely return and don't let the strip mall space fool you.

    Crispy pork noodle.  Yum!

    We were spending the night in Indio and looking for a good place to have dinner. We arrived at 5 PM on a Sunday night. The restaurant was about half full. We were quickly greeted and seated in a booth and provided water and menus. We ordered a spring roll, which came out quickly and was hot and crispy. For our entrées, we had the crispy pork belly noodle, and the ginger stir-fry with the duck. Both of the meals were very good. We like how so many of the meals come with your choice of meat. The duck was good but did have some chewy parts in it. I might try a different meat next time. Everything tasted fresh and came out quite hot. The staff is friendly. We would definitely come back here again. By the time we left around 6 PM, the restaurant was full! This is a popular place.

    This is the best Thai restaurant in the desert. Hands down. Fresh, quality ingredients, and authentic flavours. So many vegetarian options, which makes me happy. And plenty of seafood options to make my parents happy! Their lunch special is great, but I love an entree sized portion of pumpkin curry at dinner. I've had takeout and dined in, and both are great experiences. The takeout is always wrapped up nicely and no spills! Love Thai Hot!!

    First of all i was so exhausted stress and drained to the point that i can almost cry! But we ended in this resto! We are from LA so coming from 3 hours away and super hungry and was so surprised how delicious their food was! Probably best thai food we had. We had coconut fresh juice but we didn't get to take photos. The service is above and beyond i forgot her name. She looks young and pretty it was Saturday 4/11 at around 2:23 pm. I don't know how it started but i kinda mentioned about my wristband pass to Coachella event and i was so nervous that i thought i might have got scammed but thankfully i was able to get replacement for that. She was so helpful emphatic friendly and nice which is not part of her job! But yea! She was awesome! i just want to update her i did got in! And i appreciate her kindness! I am looking forward to eat here again whenever I'm in the area.

    Absolutely delicious! This is a consistent must stop for us when in the area. The service is phenomenal and they do an excellent job making dishes spicier as needed. You can try anything on the menu and you can't go wrong. We're working our way through it and each dish has been as spectacular as the next!

    I came here with my mother and I felt that the food was very good! I eat a lot of thai and it felt quite authentic. The menu is quite extensive, but we ordered a lunch special of the pad see ew and I got a woon Sen which is the clear noodles and vegs. We also got a small tom yum soup with all the meat. The inside is spacious and good for groups for a date. There's even a photo of Justin Bieber on the wall so that's always cool if you are going to Coachella or something. The service was OK - there was only one waitress and I think only one cook and they were both busy with a a few customers at tables. So I get it they were busy and I was still taken care of. I would definitely be back and take my family here again when I'm in the area.

    We came at around 7 pm on a Saturday and were seated quickly. It was a bit of a rush when we got there, so the service was a little slow. We ordered: - Appetizer Sampler. I really enjoyed trying some appetizers I haven't had before, like the fish cake and the shrimp cake. - House Salad. Good portion for the price. It came with 2 dressings, and I couldn't decide which I liked best. - Pad See Ew with Beef. It was a huge portion and came out steaming hot. The flavor was a little off from what I'm used to and the beef was kind of chewy, but the hubby really liked it. - Stir-fried Spicy Ginger with Shrimp. Also came out steaming hot but not as big of a portion and only 6 shrimp, though they were big. I was expecting more of a ginger flavor (there was none) but it was flavorful in a different way. Not very spicy despite the name. They have Thai cooking shows on the TV and there's plenty of seating in both booths and tables. They also had music playing. They serve alcohol if that's your thing.

    N3 Pad Thai (chicken)

    Not that many servers so it took a bit longer to get them to our table when we needed something. But overall food was delicious and would definitely recommend anyone that wants Thai Food in Indio to go here! Chicken Pad Thai was so good, especially with the lime, beansprouts, and peanuts on the side. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Seafood Tom Yum soup is a must try (if you're into seafood). The spice level is pretty mild/medium so if you're ok with spice, you would like this. Pineapple Fried Rice (not pictured) was really delicious as well. The rice itself was perfectly soft (not dry but not TOO moist), and everything complimented each other really well.

I always feel welcomed upon entering and the service is always great and attentive! The restaurant itself is spacious and easy to get around, with some TVs playing live games. We ordered the Tom-Yum soup and Pad Thai today. We usually order their Papaya Salad and Fresh Spring Rolls as our appetizers but we decided to order something new! The Tom-Yum soup is good, but I do believe it's missing some tart/sourness that you'd taste in other traditional Tom-Yum soups, however it's packed with lots of chicken and mushrooms, so that's an A+ in my book! And of course the star of the show, the Pad Thai. You can definitely taste the authenticity of this dish here, it's sweet, savory, nutty, and very aromatic! It was also nice and smoky, you can definitely tell that it was cooked on a wok. They are very generous with their portions as well.

LOCATION: Nice shopping center location, very open with lots of parking. FACILITY: Very nice, not modern inside and has not changed since they opened but totally fine.

FOOD QUALITY: Really good for what it is, I would have liked a bit more spice or to at least to have been asked for spice level options. I'd say spice level was like a 1 at other Thai places.

The first time I ordered takeout, and actually ended up not eating this until the next day. Everything was delicious and the broth reheated well. The portions are HUGE - I usually order an extra serving of noodles and still don't get as much as this standard order. Same with the rare steak - it was double the amount I usually receive, and my meal was $20. The broth is flavorful and clear to slightly cloudy with a rich amber color - just like fresh, homemade bone broth should be - broth had just the right amount of fat and collagen, which is expected and desired. Flavor was on point with warming spices and just the right amount of salt. All items were boxed separately, including a nice portion of cilantro and chopped white onion. The package of add-ins contained a ton of bean sprouts, large slices of jalapeno and a big bunch of fresh, tender Thai basil. I enjoyed the dish so much that I returned the next day and ordered the same meal, although this time I asked for extra lime because I enjoy the extra brightness that citrus gives the soup. My broth had cooled a bit on the journey home, so I warmed it in a measuing cup and found that the portion was a full 3 cups of broth. Again, the noodle portion was 3x what I typically receive at any other restaurant, and the meat portion was also huge. I asked for extra limes and received about 6 wedges in a separate bag. All of the other add-ins were the same as before, fresh, flavorful, and high quality. Both days the food came out in less than 10 minutes. The service was less friendly than some, but I don't expect a lot other than the food to be good. This is likely a family-run business, not a franchise that makes chicken sandwiches. My order was 100% perfect both days, the food was exceptionally good and the portions alone are worth it if you're hungry (I actually had more than I could eat in one sitting both times, and that is not normal for me when eating pho).
