I love this place! Their shrimp rolls...fabulous! Their steak salad... I am drooling just thinking of it!! The owner is SOO sweet.. she is the best and she is the main cook. I love their food. Its delicious and I try to stop by whenever I can. My son loves the food here, he's 5 years old. His favorite is the shrimp rolls. They have this other dish that is like some diced chicken with green veggies...its SO good! I can't recommend it enough! Try it out read more

A month ago my Wife and I dropped by for lunch. We splurged and ordered the Seafood Mango Curry. We had enjoyed it msany times before. When the orders arrived it seemed that what we got was one order devided. Very disappointing. Heven't been back...... read more

This a favorite dining spot for family, friends, and co-workers, some of who will travel a great distance just to eat Thai food here. My favorite is the Moo Yang (bbq pork) which is lean and tasty---ask for the Thai chili paste for an extra kick. The owner told me they regularly shop at farmers' markets for ingredients and it shows in the fresh flavors. They don't have a liquor license, but the liquor store next does and the restaurant has wine glasses for those who want to bring a bottle of wine. The waitresses are awesome (and incredibly cute!). read more

Everything we have tried here is fabulous. The Fresh Spring Rolls are the best we've ever had (in four different states). The Pumpkin Red Curry and Pad Thai doesn't get any better. The Eggplant Stir Fry is incredible. The Chicken with Sweet Basil is awesome. The Pad See Ew is very tasty. You just can't go wrong here. On top of that, the wait staff is always really friendly. The only down side is that on a hot day the restaurant is steamy...but it's worth it to sweat over a great meal. :-) Who would have thought such a great Thai place would be in Pinole? read more

How fortunate to have this restaurant in Pinole! We had the Pra Ram and the green curry - both were very tasty, fresh, and comparable to Thai food available in large cities. Service was friendly and attentive. Prices were good and portions were perfect. (Not sure how much some of the complaining reviewers eat... But I'm guessing more than the average bear.) Nice atmosphere too. read more

I got the pad see ew with shrimp and beef. It was really good and the shrimp tasted fresh, not like the frozen or boiled kind. My total was $12.50. I'd definitely recommend this joint! :) read more

Thai Spice is great!! Bein in the burbs these days its nice to have such delicious Thai food just down the street. Everything we've ever gotten has been stupendous!! read more

Green Curry Chicken so excellent -- lots of basil, zucchini, eggplant, string beans, with very flavorful sauce that is not too hot. I would like to try other dishes, but I don't want to be cheated out of this dish read more

The GF says "I can eat this everyday". Not me. I mean don't get me wrong, I love this joint but not everyday. Ok, the stuff that's on hit is the yellow curry chicken and angel wings. Off the chain, mayng! The decor is pretty cool inside. I wish I had one of those scarves they have hanging on the wall. The staff is nice and friendly. The only thing I didn't like was the crab fried rice. Didn't taste fresh and crab needs to be like, caught that same day for it to be cool. Other than that, great place and good prices especially for a culinary albatross like Pinole. Thai Ice tea is fantastic! Solid Pad See Yu, as well. read more

Went with the fam last night & I have to say, very excellent place. The waiteress was very friendly and took our order in no time! I especially love #53, calamari with onions and garlice sause. Coming back soon for sure!!! read more

The food was ok. Service was slow, had to wait a while to get seated, order my food, and took a long time for the food to come out too.. If you are not in a rush and have a lot of time to spare, you can consider this place. They also charges 50 cents more when you ask for easy ice on your drink and did not tell me ahead of time. It's not that I don't have the money to pay for my "easy ice Thai ice tea". I just didn't like to find out that it would cost me more when I get the bill. read more

Don't come here if you're hungry. Expect to wait an hour if you only order a main course. If you can stand the wait the food is tasty, but the wait is unacceptably long. The new waitress have a bad attitude. read more

The curry is to die for. The fresh spring rolls are out of this world. Al the dishes are amazing. The owners are wonderful people and they have a good staff. The restaurant is intimate and so close to my house I have to get my fix weekly. Do not miss this one !!!!! read more

The food is good. Overpriced but good. However, the owners are terrible business owners. Numerous times they've messed up our order or packed it so that it spills everywhere. They keep making it really spicy when we specifically ask for it mild. They're forgotten to put items in our to-go order. We've only ever once complained, when they'd prepared the meal with the wrong type of meat. I'd been meaning to mention our issues with food spilling and the food being too spicy the last few times I'd gone in, just to alert them that it was an issue, but I was finally fed up this last time. I ordered food from them last Thursday or Friday. I got the food to go as I was on my lunch hour. I placed it carefully in my car and made sure it did not tip. When I opened the bag at work, I found the weight of the pad thai had crushed the container underneath. The chicken curry had squished out and spilled all over the bag-- I'd dealt with the food leaking before, but this time it was all over the bag, barely any left in the container (a styrofoam container no less-- who puts liquid in a styrofoam to-go container?). I called as soon as I got home from work-- no answer, which I realized was because it was the two hours between lunch and dinner, called back two more times that night and again the next day-- no answer. I was out of town the entire weekend or I would've tried again then. I called tonight to order more food and address the issue from last week. The "owner" (not sure if she was, she claimed to be, but I've been previously told it was a different person, a man) was extremely rude to me-- accused me of making up stories and asked why I didn't call immediately. I tried to explain to her that I did call (I called 4 times!). She said she's there all day, even between lunch and dinner, and she would've answered. As she was speaking to me, she got a call waiting beep, clicked over, and then came back to me complaining to me that I'd made her miss the call (hah, look at that!). I can think of at least ten times that we've called during business hours and not gotten an answer. Sometimes we even get their "closed until dinner" voicemail during open hours. She was extremely confrontational and condescending and told me that once the food is in my hands they have no responsibility for it -- no matter that they pack it improperly and use flimsy containers. And she said that she ALWAYS warns customers to carry it carefully-- Um, my food was sitting in a bag on a table when I walked in. I'd already paid for it when I'd ordered it and the counter girl pointed at it and said thanks. That was it. She also claimed that she always puts the heavier items on top to 'hold down' the lid of liquidy items. Hmm, so it would make sense that a heavy item could crush that flimsy lid that can't even stay closed on it's own. I know I always like to weigh down flimsy things with crushingly heavy items. I really appreciate it when grocery baggers put the soda on top of my eggs to prevent them from opening. Oh wait, no. Such a good business model-- it's very smart to alienate customers over an issue with one entree when they're calling to order $40 of food from you! If they care this much for such regular customers, I'd love to see how they treat everyone else. Edit-- We caved. Their food is just to tasty. She remembered me from last time and we talked and things are.. *okay* (lol, I have a bad relationship with my Thai food dealer!) So what should be a scathing review really just becomes a somewhat pitiful endorsement of their food. :P I do think they were more careful in packing things this time. I'll give them one more star. I'm still irritated this all happened and I agree with others that the wait is always ridiculous. read more

I bought some Pad Thai from here,and it was awful awful awful.It was extra greasy,and full of fish sauce.What a wasted greasy unedible mess.I don't even want to try their other food after this terrible experience read more

this place kinda sucks! i went here when i was with my ex boyfriend the only reason i wanted to try this restaurant was just my friend told me it was pretty good but it was ehhh not that great and the service is so slow she only came when we didn't want anything then when we got dessert it took them 50 min to make fried banana and ice cream must be kidding me! not a place to go to never coming back. read more

Great food, but slow service. The pad thai and fresh spring rolls are good. The peanut sauce is light and tasty. I highly recommend the ped yang, which is roast duck with a vibrant lime chili sauce. I would definitely come back to have this dish again. However, the service was very slow, and our entrees came at different times. We had to wait a while between courses. I think this is a great place if you want to have a long conversation catching up with friends or family. read more

This thai restaurant has HORRIBLE customer service, specifically rudeness on the phone. This family business is taking advantage of good natured people by serving poor quality food that is over priced. The tom yum we ordered over the phone for a pick up ended up taking too long, where we had to wait. When we tried the tom yum, it tasted like there was chemicals on the soup. I was FOOD POISONED and felt physically sick for days from their tom yum. If you'd like to get food poisoned, go here. read more

I wish I could get Thai spice 3 1/2 stars. However four is just too many. The truth is that the food here is actually quite delicious, but the kitchen is just too slow. My husband, daughter, and I used to eat here all the time. We moved to the area about a year ago from Oakland and have really missed the variety of restaurants. So when we found Thai spice you were very excited that this restaurant actually was comparable to some of the Thai restaurant in Oakland. With that said most Asian dining excess establishments I can cook pretty quickly. I find that at Thai spice getting a chicken dish with the crab fried rice and pad Thai can take over an hour to order and eat. That's quite difficult when you're trying to catch a quick dinner between work and putting your toddler to bed at a reasonable hour. The last few times we've had Thai spice we decided to just order it and pick it up because service is generally so slow in the restaurant. Well they don't seem to have a very good grasp of time management. Usually if they ask you to wait 30 minutes you can almost bet it's going to be between 40 and 45. Just last night I made a small order it wasn't very large and I placed the order just as I was arriving at the Oakland airport. I walk to my car at short term parking I drove home in traffic. I went to Walgreens to purchase some milk. All in all it took me almost an hour. Thai spice said it would take about 45 minutes to have my food ready when I got there they still weren't finished. It was late I wanted to get home I went to my food. Soon after they came out with my food and everything was delicious and the price was reasonable but it's still kind of annoying all in all I will be back I love taste buys but I will plan it around knowing how slow their kitchen is. And I will say that the kitchen is very small and there's old people to people cooking the food so I'm trying to be thoughtful of that by giving them extra time and ordering while I' read more

Geeze these guys won't even spring for a air conditioner. Who enjoys sweating during a spicy dinner? Give me a break. The food is very lacking in content and quality. Give them what they pay for, it's that simple. read more

hands down thew best yellow curry an pad thai in this area

food is good but very less portion compare to other thai restaurant and expensive as compared to other thai restaurant in the area.

My daughter and I eat here two or three times a month. Their food and service is wonderful. Great salads, but we are really hooked on the Evil Jungle Curry. That said, everything we've tried has not disappointed. read more

We went here for lunch, and we order beef fried rice and vegetables, when I brought this food item to my workers, thy informed me that there was no beef in the food it was just vegetables and rice. I called the business back and she told me that we're lying and the cook out beef. I don't have to lie I've been coming here for years, and for here to not believe and accuse me of lying is disgraceful very bad customer service you just lost a client. read more

Great Thai food for a small city like Pinole. Three stars for great service, good food, and decent prices. Come here if you ever find yourself in nice, little Pinole craving Thai food. read more

Came in on a Sunday and it wasn't particularly busy at the time. This was my first visit here after some friends highly recommended this place as having great food & service. Unfortunately- food was just ok and service was not good. We ordered their pad thai noodle which had a very distinct flavor. It wasn't like anything I've tried before. I felt that it was too sweet and almost tasted as if there was ketchup added to it. Also had the green curry with chicken which was good, the sampler for appetizer which came with fried tofu, shrimp egg roll, chicken satay and a fried potato gyoza and lastly the crispy chicken. I wasn't particularly impressed with the crispy chicken. It was just deep fried chicken with not much flavoring until you dip into the sweet chilli sauce that's provided. So basically 2 out of 4 dishes were good, while the other 2 were just meh. I would have given 3 stars for quality of food since it was a-ok, but the service is what brought them down to 2 stars. It really wasn't that particularly busy when we were there, but for some odd reason, our server decided to take another group's order before ours despite us arriving first. None of the dishes came out with serving spoons/forks so we had to constantly ask for those. And anytime we needed a refill- again, we had to initiate the server for assistance. To make matters worst, they did not put in our order for the mango sticky rice dessert so we were just sitting there waiting for no apparent reason. read more

here's what $77.00 got me: two orders of curry puffs, two orders of yellow chicken curry, one beef pad see ew, one shrimp pad thai, one crab fried rice and a really happy, fully fed family. so worth it! read more

We eat here quite often, mostly as take out. We usually order quite a bit of food and sample a lot of things. We love the yellow curry, creamy, a bit sweet with just a slight spice. The pad thai is pretty good, we usually get with prawns, has a sweet tangy flavor, not to much peanut to it, my only gripe being I wish we got a few more prawns because my daughter usually hogs them all. We also get the BBQ pork, it has good, grilled flavor and can be hit or miss with how much juiciness or lack there of it has. The papaya salad is not very spicy but that is how I like it. If you like yours spicy, you may want to ask them to add some. The crab fried rice is pretty good too and one of my daughter's other favorites. It comes with a decent amount of crab and has a slight caramelized taste to it from the pan. I always say we are going to explore the menu more but we like what we get so we tend to stay with it. Our go to place especially for take out Thai read more

Very disappointing... I've been to this place many times thru the years and I've never been treated with such disrespect... I usually order the same appetizers, dishes, and substitute certain items... the lady that served us was rude and talked to us in a matter that was not customer service like. We were explaining to the waitress that they usually substitute like for like priced items and we were told that they don't do that bc it's to hard for the cook. Come to find out she's the cook and argues that's she's been doing it for 14 years. We weren't trying to argue, but simply complete our order. After she walks away, we can hear her run her mouth in the back about our order!!! The whole situation got uncomfortable, so we decided to cancel our order and go elsewhere... as we were leaving the hostess and the cooks said to us "good take your business elsewhere we don't need your business!!!".. .... NEVER EATING HERE AGAIN!!! read more

everything i tried here i liked. from the pad thai to the duck curry. iate there for lunch and dinner.

This place has good food. My favorite is the pad Prik King or as they call it, green bean chicken. They recently raised their prices to an exorbitant amount. For example, a Thai iced tea is now $3.50 and if you don't want any ice it's going to cost you $4!! Yikes! An order of 3 measly spring rolls will run you $7.50. Granted, the stuff all tastes very good. I just think this place can only go so far on good food alone. There has to be so much more that makes the experience worthwhile. The thing that gets me about this place is their lack of customer service. If they mess up, they don't help you out with a complimentary appetizer or something like that, give you a discount or anything else. It's sort of like "oh well we messed up, tough luck just pay and get out of here." I hope this place ends up bringing its appetizer and drink prices back down and learns to treat customers a little better when they make mistakes. read more

Really nice service. I'm gluten free and the staff was able to easily accommodate me with no problem. They were knowledgeable about gluten and instantly made the order gluten free for me. Food was delish I will be back. read more

Right away we were disappointed when they said that they had "run out" of the chicken satay appetizers (my wife's fave). If you go during dinner expect dishes to be very pricey and the portions to be ridiculously small. For example, we had the pumpkin curry seafood dish for $11.00 and to me it qualifies as a single serving dish, rather than something to share with others. We also ordered green beans with pork and specifically asked for the spices to be left out (5 year old doesn't eat anything that's too spicey), but sure enough they didn't take us seriously and added the chili peppers anyway. Overall the flavor of the dishes we ordered was really good, but too bad it doesn't last long because the portions are so small. To me, you get very little bang for your buck. Also, food took very long to come out (even appetizers and soup) and it wasn't even a busy night (Sunday night at 8pm). If I decide to eat here again, it will probably be for lunch since prices are cheaper during that time. The ambiance of the restaurant is great, but too bad it's situated right next door to a liquor store. read more

Fabulous find on our way to Napa! Every dish was interesting and flavorful. If I lived in town is be a regular.

The food is good but the service is really bad when they are busy. We placed an order for pick up today and they told us over the phone it would be 30 minutes. They are always slow so we arrived 45 minutes later and we were told our order was still not ready and we had to wait another 15 minutes. This has happened to us before. I mentioned to the staff and they apologized but I won't be returning. read more

The food is excellent but it takes a long time before you get your food. You have to order the crab fried rice!! It is so Ono!

Food was good...wish I had tried something spicier. Great service and quality food.

Great Thai food i. Try the Angel Wings - wonderful. I live in Point Richmond and there is a definite dearth of good restaurants in Richmond. The Thai restaurant in the Point is frightening. I've been to Thai Spice a few times and enjoyed. read more
