    #130. Pad Thai
    Harlene P.

    Trying a new place through door dash. I've been wanting pad Thai for dinner and came across Thai Spice. The food was delivered on time as stated. The pad Thai was good. It was slightly different from what I usually have. I feel like it may be missing something. Not sure what. You can be the judge when you try it. Overall it was good. I'd try something new next time.

    This is now my favorite Thai restaurant. All of their food is delicious, flavorable and they don't skimp on ingredients like many other Thai restaurants do. Last night I ordered for pick up. I love Panang Curry so that was my choice for the evening. When I clicked on the item to order, I noticed they offered rice, salad and the soup of the day for an extra $6. I jumped on that! The salad was a green salad with peanut dressing, the soup was a spicy coconut soup with vegetables and of course the Jasmine rice is always perfect with curry. The Panang curry is sweeter than red curry. Their version is absolutely delicious. It is filled with yummy ingredients, which also includes the Thai basil which I love as it adds such a yummy flavor. Chicken was my choice and there was a lot in my dish. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. Absolutely delicious. It was the perfect way to end a very rainy cold day with no power in the house. Picked it up and came home to power and still kept those candles burning for the perfect ambiance in a storm. Thai food is good comfort food. This restaurant serves up the best.

    The green curry was warm and delicious and enough portions for two people. The total cost was about $21 for the rice and curry. The service was fast and they kept checking in on us and asking us if we wanted water or anything else. The ambiance is relaxing and a good spot for a date and cozy vibes. The interior decorations are soothing!

    Thai Spice in San Jose offers a flavorful and authentic Thai dining experience in a relaxed, casual setting. Popular dishes like Panang curry and green curry are some favorites. We usually order through DoorDash . Pad Sew and fried rice , roti curry and chicken satay are our house favorites. The restaurant has earned praise for its tasty food and accommodating service. The ambiance is clean. Overall, it's a solid local favorite for those craving bold, comforting Thai flavors.

    Would rate this place a 3.5. Pretty solid spot for Thai food, there's a parking lot outside and plenty of indoor seating. The ambiance is pretty quiet and dark. The servings are pretty large so I feel like the prices match how much food you get. I ordered the thai spicy fried rice with chicken and it had a good basil flavor. I also tried their yellow curry which tasted like typical yellow thai curry (in a good way). My only thing is that I think all the dishes could use more spice, but the flavor was there

    Tom Kha soup, Thai Basil #60. Chicken with Thai Basil (Pad Ka Pow) and #130. Pad Thai

    Service was very good from every person who came to our table. So glad to dine in again. Had a bday dinner and got my favorite Tom Kha soup (with prawns) - so good, and they are my benchmark for this dish...Shared Thai Basil Chicken and Pad Thai (with chicken) topped off with a Thai ice tea. A great dinner all the way around.

    Great food, and great atmosphere. I recommend the tom yum soup! Been here a few times, consistent too.

    I ordered something new today, the Thai Mussamun Curry (gluten free) with chicken, special Mussamun curry and coconut milk with tender potato, carrot, peanut and onions and it was DELICIOUS! It was creamy, flavorful and had a little hint of spice. I forgot to take a photo of my meal because it was that good. I have before ordered their House Special Fried Rice and that was good! I typically order my food togo but I believe you can dine in now. The service is nice, friendly and fast and the ambiance is casual. It is located in a plaza with a lot of parking and it is easy to find. I highly recommend this place.

    Pad Thai. Good presentation.

    YUM! Must Be Thai was great and lived up to the ratings and reviews. I must have been feeling…read moreadventurous as I took both my picky child/teen and my picky Asian parents at the same time. Well the risk paid off as all my picky family members enjoyed EVERY dish. Admittedly I am pretty shocked. We ordered: Crispy Fried Calamari: deep fried, chunky tender pieces of calamari that was perfectly portioned for our smaller group Tom Yum Fried Rice: fragrantly fried with a good lemongrass flavor Hat Yai Fried Chicken: light crisp outside and oh so tender and not dry on the inside. Southern Pad Thai: ok Must Be Thai. You get us. This is the first place to live up to my family's level of spice. There is a reason it is marked "SS" on the menu representing "Seriously Spicy".

The panaeng curry was flavorful and heavy. It looked small but made me full quite fast. I had to take leftovers. The pork itself was okay it was a bit overcooked :o The thai tea was alright i've had better and it was a bit warm. The vegetable pad thai was perfect. Noodles were chewy and very saucy. I would definitely come back to get this and add a bit more spice as well.

    Delicious Thai food with a comfortable and dog friendly outdoor patio! We went on a Saturday…read moreafternoon and there was no line. We ordered the roti, crispy pork belly, sausage, Laos style papaya salad, and a khao soi to share between 3 people. All of the food was absolutely delicious but we felt like the portions were a little small for the price. The pork belly and sausage were both ~ $23 and didn't come with as many pieces as we thought it would. This was some of the crispiest roti I've ever had! I loved the curry dipping sauce on the side and the nice crunch of the cucumbers. The pork belly was slightly overcooked, a little hard but the flavors were great! The sausage tasted house made, it had a great tang to it and I loved the variety of dipping sauce. We ordered extra spicy/hot for the Laos papaya salad but it was definitely medium. The khao soi was very comforting on a cold day and the broth was rich and creamy. I'd definitely come back if I was in the area!

    I ordered the Pad Thai (seafood) and Pad See Ew (shrimp), and the total came out to about $50…read more Unfortunately, both dishes were pretty underwhelming. Everything tasted just okay, very mediocre overall. The Pad See Ew had a weird bitter aftertaste that made it hard to enjoy. The Pad Thai was also disappointing; the noodles were clumped together and lacked flavor. We didn't finish either dishes. For the price, I expected much better quality and taste. Probably wouldn't come back.

    Absolutely one of the most unique spots in downtown San Jose. Fox Tale Fermentation Project somehow…read moremanages to feel like an experimental brewery and community gathering space all at once. The fermentation concept is woven into everything from the beers and botanical mocktails to the food and it actually works incredibly well. The drinks are creative without feeling gimmicky, and the flavors are layered and thoughtful. The food was surprisingly memorable too, especially how vegetable-forward dishes still felt rich and satisfying. The atmosphere has this warm, artsy, almost hidden-gem energy that makes you want to stay for hours. What really stands out is that the place feels intentional. You can tell the owners care deeply about craft, community, and creating an experience instead of just another brewery. Easily one of the coolest and most distinctive food/drink concepts in San Jose right now.

    I need to start off by saying I never had good vegetarian food. I hate vegetarian food. I am a meat…read moreeater and need it for every meal. Fox Tale Fermentation is a small place like a Japanese ramen shop. My high school classmate suggestion this place and I thought she was vegetarian. I asked her why this place; she wanted to try it out but she's a meat eater. I'm down to try new places so we went. When we went, it was really crowded for a Thursday dinner time. A lady saw my cane and offer her table to sit at so I felt seen. You pretty much order at the front counter; you pour your own water. Front counter was so nice to us as we try to order. We got the funk salad and kombucha. We didn't order a lot because we wanted to try the place. When we got to our table, it was near the door. Our funk salad came and it was hefty mf. It was a bowl of salad all right. So you know how I said earlier that I don't like vegetarian food? OMG I was amazed. The best salad I've eaten. The vinaigrette was so good; it was citrusy. My salad was cut into small pieces so it wasn't big that I need to cut it. The sweet potato was sauteed. The princess sauerkraut was so good. I don't like sauerkraut at all but it was divine. I never tried kombucha because I thought it was dirt tea. I was wrong. It has the fermented taste and I never knew. After trying it, it's not something I would order again. I liked how I was eating "healthy" food after I ate bad yesterday. I don't have that bad bloated feeling. It's very wheelchair friendly and restroom is unisex. The restroom is clean. The establishment is clean. I would go here again if I have a vegetarian visitor. This place rocks!
