Delicious food and atmosphere was very welcoming and clean. Everyone we tried was delicious. We shared Pad Thai chicken fried rice and chicken satay appetizer. Would definitely go back! read more

I've never been disappointed eating at Thai Spice. The food is always good, even if it's takeout. The staff are also very friendly.

solid 4 star place for thai food, but what pushes this place to the 5 stars is the service - 1. the servers are very friendly and great - asking if we'd want chopsticks, providing kid friendly cups 2. there was a strand of hair in the tom yum soup. we flagged a server, and they immediately offered to replace it. we were more than 50% done so we hesitated for a second, and they immediately offered to remove the charge for this item read more

One of our favorite go to places. Got take out, food was cold and just not as good as usual. The normal manager/owner was not there ??? read more

The food was excellent. The table tried green curry and pad Thai and both were delicious. We went at lunch and their lunch specials included a soup, spring roles and a dessert. They were all good and prices for lunch very reasonable. Great service and a nice atmosphere. If you like Thai, try it! read more

I have eaten at EVERY Thai restaurant in town. Without a doubt, Thai Spice is the best. The quality of the ingredients and preparation is outstanding. Heat level is more on the mild side, so order accordingly. A little tricky to find off of Paseo, but worth the effort! It does get very crowded, so keep that in mind. A great place for great Thai food! read more

The food rocks! Fresh tasting and burns so good. The place is clean and has a good vibe. Nice restrooms too. The staff is friendly. Keeps me going back! read more

Food was not good. Dishes lacked Asian vegetables mostly onions and celery. We waited more than an hour for take out food. We were told 30-40 minutes. No peanut sauce for the spring rolls. read more

This is my husband and I's favorite Thai place in Albuquerque. I would say it is in a pretty convenient location off of Paso Del Norte but you have to enter through the back side. Sometimes it is busy and a bit hard to find close parking, but I usually always find a spot pretty close to the restaurant. I always order the yellow curry with pork and usually the pad Thai. I would say is reasonably priced usually only about 15 dollars or less per dish read more

"Thai no-spice." I tried Thai Spice again thinking perhaps on my one other previous visit they had an off night when the food was bland. Unfortunately that was not the case. This time I tried the pineapple fried rice with tofu, medium spice. The tofu was tough, and the dish somewhat wet, which I don't enjoy in rice dishes. The pineapple fried rice inexplicably came without pineapple, so it was wet rice with a small bit of egg, a few carrots, tough tofu, and onions. The odd part is the dish was so disappointing in texture, taste, and spice, I didn't even notice the pineapple was missing until I left. The spice level was very low; I'd consider it mild. The service wasn't good. When we sat down, we were the first patrons in the restaurant just before the dinner crowd. Despite there being approximately five cooks and as many servers, they forgot I had ordered a dish, so my husband's dish came out long before mine. Even before they forgot my dish, the wait was very long, which was so odd considering there were only a few tables by the time we started eating. Last time I gave Thai Spice a 3, but I think a 2 this round is being generous. Both my hubby and I agreed we wouldn't be back. read more

Probably the best Thai food I've had in Abq. The Pad Thai was exceptional as was the chicken curry. Fairly priced and service was prompt. read more

Winning combination! Good service & great food. Mr Spearmen was a great server, quickly attentive to our needs. Restaurant is very clean, good social distancing, & employees wearing mask. Really enjoyed the Large fresh Spring rolls with the peanut sauce. We were very happy with the amount of food per price we paid, even enough to have supper tonight. Rice was soft, vegetables were crisp & fresh. All sauces were outstanding. Many vegetarian choices if needed. You will not be disappointed with this restaurant. I highly recommend this place. read more

The food was fresh and presentable. There were many people on a Friday night and the ambience was delightful. The staff treated us with respect and did their best to tend to our requests. read more

Food is mid at best. Curry was watery and had way too much oil floating at the top. Sauce for dumplings was basically just oil too. Hardly any flavor overall read more

This is my favorite Thai place in ABQ. Food is amazing, staff is super friendly. They can get really busy and it might take a few tries on the phone if you're getting take out. Well worth it. 100% recommend. read more

Sorry nice folks at Thai Spice, you're not measuring up just yet. This is safe Thai food that'll satisfy crowds in the Heights, and perhaps that's what you're looking for, if so, look no further. It's always been my theory that, because Albuquerque is a populace of spicy food fanatics, our Asian food scene (save Chinese) is better than your average American town. Hence, it's pretty easy to taste the difference between eateries that go the extra mile to standout. Neither my Larb or her Pra Ram were A) Great nor B) Poor, they landed in the "eh" category, same went for the spring rolls. Looking for a side hustle? They could use more help, service was nearly non-existent. But for a lightly refreshing, easy meal on a patio -- the dining room's quite nice as well -- you can't go wrong with Thai Spice. You just can't neccessarily go right. read more

Our normal go to Thai place was closed so we had to make a decision and chose Thai spice. The wait wasn't very long and the staff was quick to attending to us. We ordered way more than what was pictured but everyone ate into right away. Originally ordered was the sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour chicken (pictured), combo fried rice (pictured), shrimp tempura, dumplings, sticky mango rice, and thai tea. All the food was delicious and comparable to our normal go to place. Definitely recommend this place if you need a good Thai fix and you're near paseo! read more

Great food, good service, nice atmosphere, clean restrooms. I arrived at 11am just as they opened. There was five tables seated and a few people ordering take out. The phone was ringing constantly too! This gem of a restaurant is just as I remember it pre Covid. Extremely busy however, delivers amazing food with stellar service. read more

You know, from the service to the food / it's really just a five star experience....and shame on me for not updating this sooner!! I have a couple other favorite Thai joints in town but sometimes Thai spice, regardless of the day/hour; always seems to be consistently available - ready to cure anyone's sudden jones for some good Thai food. Delicious food, organized and all served up in a warm/friendly family atmosphere. Well done. read more

My wife and I have been patrons of this place for a number of years now and have always enjoyed the food....but today it was disappointing to say the least. It was way too salty! The soup was too thick and salty. and the heat was not not hot enough. We did not enjoy it like we had in the past. So Sad! read more

Stopped in for a late lunch today. The restaurant was very clean and the service was great. The food was awesome, the only complaint was that they did not have sticky rice today. We ordered the shrimp spring rolls, egg rolls, coconut shrimp, Thai Pho, Drunken Noodles, and Seafood Pad Thai to go. Everything tasted great, and we enjoyed every bite. I highly recommend a visit. read more

Best Thai food ever! I try to stop here whenever I'm in Albuquerque. This place has a great atmosphere and very friendly staff. The food is always hot, fresh and delicious. I highly recommend that you try this place. If you don't care for spicy food, you can ask for mild, medium or hot and spicy. read more

PERFECT FLAVOR!!! My second time there and the food is wonderful! I got there at 6pm and the place was busy so I waited 10 minutes for a table. Attractive interiors with umbrellas hanging all over the ceiling. Great menu w good descriptions. Service was very attentive and they didn't rush ppl. I ordered the Stir fried eggplant w veggies and Tofu plus the Yellow curry with Chicken. WINNERS! Neither were too hot but just the right amount of spices. I wanted the "wonderful" mango, sticky rice and coconut syrup dessert but was told mangos were out of season now since it's late November. Bummer!!! read more

TBH. I come here all the time and I am very disappointed that I've been waiting a lot LONGER to get my food. It's been over an hour now and the food still isn't ready. I don't know if they forget or something. But even tables after us came in got their food first. read more

Decent ambiance. Visited few times and the taste didn't change and always good. Fairly priced menu as well.

First time trying Thai Spice and I definitely loved the food! The one star deduction is because when it's busy, getting refills or the server's attention can be a challenge. The good news is they carry mobile devices so your order goes right to the kitchen when placed and you can pay you check on the spot. We tried the Shrimp Spring Rolls -fresh and come with a fantastic sauce, the Drunken Noodles with Shrimp which were succulent and delicious, and the Spicy Eggplant with Chicken, lots of veggies and very spicy. A caution, if you order medium spice it is actually pretty hot, you can also order by number so I recommend going with a 3 or maybe a 4 if you're brave! The pot of Jasmine tea is an excellent choice as well and although busy we enjoyed the colorful decor and top notch cleanliness. read more

Despite the great location, beautiful interior, classy furniture, friendly service, fair prices, ample portions, and quality meat, the food itself is hopelessly bland and nearly tasteless. The yellow curry sauce was inordinately runny, actually watery, and after heaping spoonfuls of hot chili oil into it, and paying $1.50 for peanuts--anything to add taste--what ensued was a nearly tasteless collection of chicken pieces and onion slices. The sauce likely lacked coconut milk, why it was transparent. The slow simmer of the sauce, too, was likely compromised (rushed), why there wasn't any saturation of the ordinarily pungent carrot, curry, coconut, and onion flavors. With just slightly more attention to the actual cooking, this would be a 4 or even 5 star restaurant. Due to it being in Albuquerque, the ownership probably doesn't need to up their game. Sorry no photos. read more

We tried the TomKha soup. It was so sweet. Tried the pad Thai with beef and the beef was chewy and old plus this was sweet as well. The noodle was a plump stuck together. It took them 30 minutes to bring us the soup and then the food. It definitely is not the best Thai food in town. Won't recommend this place. The only good thing was the view of your seat outside. read more

I drove well out of my way and neglected my go-to Thai place to try this, after being told how great it was by someone. The place is nice, the atmosphere very pleasant, the staff very kind, and the food tastefully presented. But as I've stated in other reviews, it's the food I'm coming for. I went with my benchmark Thai dish, Pad Kee Mow aka Drunken Noodles (as it was called here): the chicken seemed a little overcooked, because it was kind of tough, not very tender. They also plate this dish (as stated on the menu) over a salad. Yes, a salad. As in iceberg lettuce, as far as I could tell. I've had this dish innumerable times in many different restaurants, and I have never seen it served like this. The "salad" didn't contribute anything to the dish, except some artificial loft. Maybe that's what they are going for, making it look like it's a larger portion than it really is. Anyway, the all important flavor was just meh for me. My first impression was that it tasted like Chinese food, and that's not a compliment coming from me. It wasn't bad - a solid 3 stars, but no more. I won't be back, not when my go-to, Thai Cuisine II, and Thai Tip are much, much better. read more

I love this place! I am so very happy I found it! They have Thai Tea! Which I lot of other Thai restaurants don't have I have tried the green curry, chicken teriyaki, pad Thai, massaman curry etc. And I have always been happy with the flavors. I really love it and best of all, my parents love it too. The customer service here is great too! This place is also very very clean! read more

Ever since I moved here eight years ago I've looking for a really good Thai restaurant and I finally found it!!!

Taste bad Service bad Wait a long time, and the waiter almost ignores you The environment is OK read more

The staff was pleasant. The atmosphere was good buttttt it was the most Americanized Thai food I had in my life. It had no traditional flavors. I could tell the people that eat here don't even know what Thai food taste like. Keep it authentic people will still come. I will never recommend this place to anyone. read more

The service is absolutely horrible. We waited 45 minutes for an appetizer. The server brought us 2 appetizers and one drink. It was supposed to be two drinks and one appetizer. We finally got one appetizer 20 minutes later. We got another appetizer 20 minutes later and one person in our party got their food, and nobody else did. When we asked about where the other food was, she said I forgot to put it in. The food here is way below average Thai food. The coconut shrimp are right out of a Sysco frozen bag. The tofu is chewy on the outside and flavorless. Overall, it was disorganized with mediocre food. I don't recommend it. I wouldn't come back. It is extremely difficult to find a good restaurant that can manage to put together good food, good atmosphere and good service. read more

I have dined here over a dozen times in the last year or so and have enjoyed every meal. From the ambience to the service and food --- all has been top notch. There's so many delicious options for food and you can customize your spice level. If you're food still isn't spicy enough, you can simply add more chili oil or chili flakes from the spice caddy. My favorite so far is the Panang curry! So good! You have your choices of protein...my fave is Salmon. There's many curries to choose from and delicious flavors to discover. Their spring rolls are so fresh, I always like to start with some shrimp or chicken spring rolls to start my Thai experience. I have nothing but good things to say about this restaurant. Definitely my top Thai restaurant in Albuquerque. I will be back soon. I like trying out a new dish, always pleasing. Thank you to the staff! See you soon! read more

All I can say is yummy, yummy. I had the curry pineapple. It was great. Brought half of it home so had two great meals!

I went here because Yelp had it as the highest rated Thai in Albuquerque. It definitely lives up to us name. The papaya salad alone gives it 5 stars. I am still craving more to this day. The flavor was impeccable, perfect balance of heat,citrus, nuttiness, and a hint of sweetness over a bed of crunchy lettuce and a big portion of green Papaya. Absolutely delicious, next time I'm ordering two. I also got the chicken vegetable soup, and my husband got the flat noodles with tofu. Both were exceptional. Service was very good, we sat outside due to covid. They also have several little roadrunners outside that they feed fresh beef. They are cute and didn't bother us but hung out nearby peering at our food and water. read more
