Thai Spices Restaurant is located in the same plaza as Yume Sushi and F & M Bank.
I dined here with my husband, my aunt and uncle 2 Sundays ago for dinner. My husband decided to make a reservation for 4, at 6 pm. We were seated immediately but it seemed that reservations were not necessary since there were still empty tables available.
After looking over the menu, we ended up ordering:
SA1 SomTom (Papaya Salad), $10.70 prior to tax- I just love papaya salad and almost always order this at any Thai restaurant. The size of salad is actually a great size, especially for the price. I found this salad to be refreshing, filling and perfectly made. I would come back just to have this salad. Please note that this salad is made with shrimp and crab for those that may be allergic or omit seafood from their diet.
N24 Pad See Ew, $12.70 prior to tax- I thought the pad see ew dish was a little on the sweet side, which I didn't like as much. But my aunt really liked my dish and seemed to want to trade dishes (lol). My uncle loved my dish so much that I let him take home the leftovers. I ordered this dish with tofu since both my aunt and uncle are vegetarian (but you can order this dish with chicken, pork, beef, shrimp).
N25 Drunken Noodle, $12.70 prior to tax- My aunt didn't know what to order since she rarely ever eats Thai food. I suggested this, as this dish and paw see ew are one of my favorite noodle dishes to get (although I did also tell her that most people typically order pad Thai if she really wanted to try that). She liked her dish but seemed to like my dish more. I actually preferred her dish, as I thought the sauce for the noodles was better made than the one for my pad see ew. My aunt ordered this dish to be made with tofu. My uncle really loved this dish too and was all too happy to eat up the rest of the plate (lol).
Evil Jungle Curry, $15.70 prior to tax- My husband opted for this curry and ordered it with chicken. He liked the dish but wished it was spicier. I think the woman (possibly the manager or owner?) who took our order made this dish mild since both my aunt and I ordered our dishes spice level to be none (we aren't spicy eaters). I liked my husband's dish.
C32 Pa Nang, $11.95, prior to tax- My uncle decided to go with a curry dish. He really liked his dish (but none of us tried his dish).
Two orders of brown rice in bowl shown, $4.50 prior to tax- We were able to get a refill without an additional charge which was nice. But I felt that their brown rice was a little hard and probably could have benefitted from a little more water when cooking it (I cook brown rice all the time and eat it regularly. Brown rice shouldn't be this hard and crunchy).

(Total= $73.88 after tax, prior to tip)
Service was friendly but wished we had our water glassed refilled more often, especially since its been pretty hot outside.
Honestly, I have had better Thai food back home in Los Angeles. But Thai Spices Restaurant still has some pretty good food and would consider coming back, especially for that papaya salad. read more
