The bad news is Redlands lacks a perfect Thai restaurant. I've tried'em all. AROI MAK MAK is weird, THAI HOUSE is bland, BENJARONG decent but pricey. Some locations are nice, some MEH. Redlands boils down to two key choices: MU and THAI SPOON CAFE. If it's a date night, definitely MU. There are extra touches everywhere. I recommend THAI SPOON CAFE for lunches and delivery. The location isn't the best but they have other locations that are nicer. The staff here is friendly and fast. I'm all about the Thai Boat soup while these days my vegetarian partner in crime enjoys the Drunken Noodles. We've had their food in person or delivered about three dozen times at this point and we have no reason to stop. Give it a try. It's solid. read more

Let me just say this: Thai Spoon is easily one of the best Thai spots in the IE. And if you're the type that judges a restaurant by the plaza it's in... you're going to miss out. Don't let the location fool you. The flavor speaks way louder than the storefront. The fan favorites? They actually hit. * Pad Thai - perfectly balanced, not overly soggy, not drowning in sauce. * Pad See Ew - smoky, savory, that wok flavor you're hoping for. * Drunken Noodles - intensely savory, spicy, and slightly sweet. Stir-fried with Thai basil, garlic, and chilies. The yellow curry was solid too (creamy and comforting) but just a little sweeter than I prefer. That's personal taste, not a flaw. Now here's the real mic drop: my wife isn't even a Thai food fan... and she enjoys coming here. That alone tells you everything. If you can win over someone who normally says "I'm not in the mood for Thai," you're doing something right. Moral of the story: stop sleeping on this spot. IE has some hidden gems -- this is one of them. We'll be back. read more

Thai Spoon Cafe - yellow curry, drunken noodles, cashew chicken, and shrimp tempura - Thai Near Me - Redlands, California

Thai Spoon Cafe has been our go-to Thai takeout spot in Redlands for over seven years, and it has never let us down. This is one of those places you keep coming back to because it's consistently that good. They offer both phone and online ordering, which I highly recommend since they're usually pretty busy--a great sign in itself. My absolute standout dish is the Penang curry... it's phenomenal every single time. I also love their Pad See Ew and many of their other noodle dishes--everything is flavorful, comforting, and clearly made with care. Even the Thai iced tea tastes fresh, which is such a small detail but a big win. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, whether you're picking up or dining in. Inside, there are maybe 10 tables total, and it's almost always full, which tells you all you need to know. It's tucked into a strip mall with plenty of parking, so it's easy and convenient. If you're looking for reliable, delicious Thai food in Redlands, this place is a must. We've been loyal for years, and Thai Spoon Cafe continues to earn it. read more

It was a cloudy, drizzly day and I thought Thai soup sounded perfect. I tried Thai Spoon Cafe on Texas St in Redlands from searching yelp. It's a cute little restaurant in a small strip mall. The young man working the front greeted me, was very welcoming and a good host. I selected Tom Kha soup. It came out fast and was delicious. I will definitely be back to try more things. read more

Amazing warmth welcome by Natasha with a very jolly tone greetings as we entered the restaurant! Food was delicious as expected: Beef pad see ew was rich in flavor but hoping beef could be more tender to chew! Eggplant entree served with onions, red bell pepper, mushrooms, bokchoy, carrots, brown sauce and side of white rice. Very delicious and cooked to perfection and served hot!!! Have to have mango with sticky rice!! Got so busy after our meal was served ... Must do something about the interior acoustics sound cause seemed too echoey with every conversation so loud and not a comfortable dining atmosphere !!! I had a headache !!! read more

Was in the area before a show at Yaamava Casino Theater and was looking for a good Thai food place that was inexpensive and came upon this place on Yelp. So we decided to go check it out. This restaurant was pretty busy and small and had a few tables. We were able to be seated and ordered pretty quickly. First thing we did notice is that they get a lot of phone and app delivery orders so lots of foot traffic and it's noisy in there. The walls need more on them to reduce the echo as it's just uncomfortable with the loudness with the dings, rings, and such. Also, only one person working tables, register, and phone, so might want to get another person a headset to answer phones when they are busy with tables, just a thought. Once food came it was good and small portions so kind of pricey. But I'm assuming for the area it's probably priced that way due to the lack of competition. My husband ordered the Ba Mi Hang and he thought it was quite small and he was hungry afterwards and we ended up going next for to the donut place for dessert. His egg noodles with fish balls and bbq pork were good, but very little bok choy and only one lime wedge. I ordered Pad See Ew. This dish usually comes with Chinese broccoli and I typically ask for it on the side as I can't eat it so he will eat it. However, here they said they could not do that, so I did not get it and still paid the same price. My dish was flavorful and I did enjoy it and I felt the portion size was average. I also ordered a hot tea and was surprised when it just came with a tea bag in a cup. Most places bring you a tea pot so you can refill your cup as you go. Not sure if this was refillable as my husband did not want to linger since he was still hungry and irritated with the noise in the restaurant. We will probably not return to this restaurant anytime soon as it's just too pricey and noisy for him. read more

Not a big place but food is big on flavor and taste.,36 person capacity. HC parking available close by. One neutral gender restroom. Warm friendly service. Ambience feels like dining in your own kitchen. Diners come in small groups and frequent pick up orders come and go. Pad see Ew was good as always. Flavorful sauce, chewy wide noodles and baby bokchoy. Tried the eggplant dish with chicken for the first time and wasn't disappointed. Enjoyed it a lot. Will be back definitely and try other dishes. read more

We were a table of eight for lunch on a Tuesday. It's in an older strip mall. There were plenty of parking. Certainly not in a great neighborhood. The place itself was clean and the decor was nice. We were seated right away. Service was spotty but there was only one waiter for the whole place. We just had to ask and he would get it. We got many dishes for the 8 of us, here are the ones to get or avoid: Favorites: Pad See Ew was solid. Seasoned well. Plenty of chicken. Pad Thai: also very good. They don't skimp on the meat. Curry Puff- the rose design on the outside was splendid! The crust was flaky. The curry wasn't too spicy. Avoid: Pork bun came in a plate of one small bun for 5.95 . I couldn't tear off the paper from the bottom. The inside filling tasted pretty bad. Salted Fish Fried rice was not great. The fish was not crispy. It was chewy. The fried rice was good but this was not the best Salted fish fried rice I've had. read more

My mom wanted to eat at an Asian restaurant and we decided to give it a try. Thai Spoon was a pleasant surprise. The ambiance is chill, the service is quite good, the food was served fresh and fast. Pad Thai was good, the Pad see ew was super good, orange chicken quite good and crunchy in a good way, my dad and my wife really liked the curry puff. The pork bun was just ok, but the Fried rice was also good. We thought we over ordered, but our group of eight really chowed down. Overall great service and great food. Give them a try if you want great, local, fresh Thai food. read more

Update because we've continued to be customers of this local business!! Order: Two sets of spicy wings Pad Thai Side of White rice Let's start by saying that as my previous review, communication is key and when an order seems off it's best to reach out for clarification. Our order was exactly as expected and we were very happy. We ordered two sets of wings. One regular and the other with no sauce (not spicy) and requested the spicy sauce on the side. They were perfect. In fact, if you want to make sure they're crunchy I would order the sauce on the side so you can dip the wings instead. ***Only complain is that they were a VERY salty. Pad Thai was delicious. I never have complains. The side of white rice also complemented it nicely. It was my husband's first time trying this location and he really enjoyed it. We ordered to go online and our order was made exactly as requested. Next time we need to dine in. Place is super cute. Love the decor and there is plenty of parking. Service: Always treated kindly when picking up orders. Thank you! read more

Honestly i had a really great experience here. Ordered take out- drunken noodles with tofu white rice & green tea cheesecake Drunken noodles mild- 8/10 wished i had gotten some other meat maybe chicken or beef. The tofu was really spongy and dry. Would order again just with different protein and spicier for-sure! White rice- 10/10 really hard to mess up white rice lol Green tea cheesecake- 10/10!!! Want to try all the different flavors they have. Costumer service- 10/10 the 2 ladies working were so friendly and fast. Would go back again. read more

The thai place at the market smelled good but was closing. We wanted Thai food and came in on a whim. The interior is nice and I noticed Yelpers live them. The table menus had lots of pictures and the QR code revealed more options for salads. We ordered pad thai and chicken larb salad spicy with added ginger and chicken pad Thai. The food was perfect. They read my mind and offered me a side of white rice. We loved our lunch. Service was good they knew just what we needed. read more

Today, I stumbled upon the Thai Spoon Café because it's right across the street from my favorite thrift store! I ordered Drunken Noodles with pork and extra veggies. Oh my gosh, it was so fresh, and I couldn't stop eating. The flavor and spice level were just right. I loved every bite. The perfect end to my meal was the Ube Cheesecake. Not only was it beautiful (check out my photos), but it was scrumptious! read more

I just want to say that this place have very poor hygiene and costumer service, I found a fried insect possibly a roach but and when I called to let them know of the situation the person of the phone was very rude and didn't make the situation better. I was not expecting really for money , I mean what can change the fact of finding a death and fried roach in your food. Very unpleasant situation . The health department should inspect this and please be careful buying from this place you might get sick. Thats what I was concerned after all ! read more

First time order take away from this place when we were in the area (even though been in Redlands multiple times). The crave of Pad See Ew is unbearable, and all that reason is worth it! Their Pad See Ew is legit and delightful! As for Pad Thai, through my personal experience eating Pad Thai, I felt the tamarind sauce is pretty strong! It left soury ending taste, and I am not fan of sour. So this comment is more into a subjective opinion. Price point is affordable comparing with the place nearby. So let's support this deserved small business! read more

I've come here multiple times over the years and it's always very good. Not sure what happened yesterday but the yellow curry I got had about 2 carrots and 3 potatoes in the whole entree. It lacked flavor as well. My daughter said the same about the salad she got. I hope they haven't changed cooks. read more

I am so disappointed. My family has been eating here for years. Tonight my husband and I popped in for dinner. I went back to use the restroom before ordering. With my own two eyes, I saw the chef enter the bathroom, use the restroom, exit and return to the kitchen and start cooking again wearing the same damn black gloves. I watched him through the kitchen door window. I went into the restroom and he had also urinated all over the seat. We will never go back. I returned to our table and told my husband what I had just witnessed. We left immediately. read more

I thought I wrote about this place before, but in case I didn't I want to give an update. I have been here a number of times and it's a small little place in a strip mall that has the best yellow coconut curry chicken meal I've ever had in fact it's so good. I can't even bring myself to eat something different every time I go there because the dish that I started with is so good. I have not been there for about six or eight months and I read an article the other day somebody was asking if they changed shifts they stated that the food wasn't as good as it used to be. I hope they have not and I hope the curry chicken is just this Good. read more

The food was good and reasonably priced! They take your order quick and are very attentive. It's a small hole in the wall but it's worth it

It's been ages since we've been here for a sit down dinner, but this place didn't disappoint. There's enough parking available. When you walk inside, to the left they placed their menus for you to browse through and select what you want, then you go to the cashier to give them your order and pay. Then you can sit at the tables to your right if you decide to stay to enjoy your meal. I noticed a lot of orders to go and their restaurant for a week night seemed busy. The place is clean and there's a big screen TV on the wall so you can watch during your meal. We opted for water and the waitress gave us a carafe filled with more cold water with our cold glasses of ice filled water. Then our meals arrived soon afterwards, which didn't take too long. My family loves the yellow curry chicken. It comes with a bowl of rice. The portion of their meal was large so my son asked for another bowl of rice. My meal was the pad see ew with beef. This portion size was good enough to share with someone else and I couldn't finish it so I took the other half home. Overall, this place serves tasty dishes. We'll be back for more definitely because of the food and friendly service and welcoming feel of their restaurant. read more
