    Thai Tip is always a solid option for Thai, they are just about everything you want including lots of curry and fried rice options. I recently went with a friend for lunch, and I will note that they don't offer any lunch specials that I'm aware of. We ended up sharing a basil fried rice and one of the noodle dishes. My only concern was overall the food was very salty, it had good flavor but way too much salt.

    My daughter loves this place and when she's in town we go. The food is tasty and has the heat you desire. The service is always great and while small it has plenty of seating and food options.

    An unassuming exterior hides the most exceptional, spicy chicken curry (C1) I've ever enjoyed.

    Summary: Thai Tip is too slow for lunch unless you have an hour plus to burn. On Tue 6 May 2025, I arrived at 12:15 for lunch. I then stood awkwardly at the door without being greeted, despite a waitress being feet away, cleaning a table. It was not until more guests arrived that I clarified that we were not a party of four but two parties. I then took my seat and began to wait in a state of mild anxiety, in that a failure to greet a customer is not a good sign regarding the incoming quality of service. The waitstaff did not disappoint, failing to acknowledge my presence for the entire 30 min I was in the restaurant. There was no promise of getting to me, no menu, and no water. I just sat completely ignored as the waitstaff served other customers. I have been coming to Thai Tip for a decade, so I know good food takes time. However, this was a failure of the waitstaff, not a wait from the kitchen. A decision was made to ignore customers due to what I assume is a perceived workload. Regardless of the quality of food, this type of neglect is just right out. Thus, after being in the restaurant 30 min without being acknowledged, I left at 12:45 and walked over to Eloy's. I had food on my table 7 min later (12:52) and had finished and paid at 13:20. The entire meal began and ended in almost exactly 30 min, the same amount of time I sat around in silence at Thai Tip. As such, this restaurant is off my list as a lunch locations. I'll give dinner a try later in the week and document my results. In the future, this will be a to-go restaurant only.

    It's been years since eating at this thai restaurant but it seems after years the Pad Thai , usually the most popular Thai noodle dish in general hasn't improved much, the noodles and taste were good , the portion and meat beef texture remains low quality the beef meat really lacks tenderizing a common chef skill in most Asian cooking methods was missing here causing tough untender , drier meat, this shows a lazy cooking prep method by this restaurant which is surprising since they do somehow still get high reviews by regulars, so it seems these regulars have lesser standards of what they feel is a 5star quality. The prices are also higher without quality.

    Fried Rice (Kao Pad)
    Diedra Q.

    The place is a hidden gem located at Wyoming and constitution. It's a clean and cute decoration inside. The staff is really friendly and very fast. We got patay, spring rolls, yellow curry, pineapple fried rice and fried rice. Their white rice comes out in a heart shape which is adorable. The spice levels have a kick for sure so be careful. The curry was so delicious and filling perfect comfort food. Everything else was delicious and amazing. It was reasonably priced it was $60 for everything. I left with left over very satisfied.

    I got the pad Thai chicken noodles and it was really good 10/10. My lips are burning but it was so good. The service was nice but very small but that's okay.

    Worst food ever. This was the full portion

    Pineapple Curry

    Hungry, looking for close by on a cold day. Normally this would be a chili kind of day but alas... But this place popped up - I know I can find something akin to chili here. Curry's a great substitute. Small place, busy & loud. No problem finding a place to sit. Lot of things in the menu by my target was curry. Found the Pineapple Curry with pork, added Green Curry with chicken both with medium heat & an order of Pot Stickers - these actually came in an order divisible by 2. Pot stickers came out hot & crispy. The curries followed close behind. The heat was just right - at the upper end of medium. Both curries were nice and thick but there was something missing. Maybe not enough curry or too much sodium. It wasn't bad - just missing that one thing to bring it to the level of curry we've had at other places.

    Pineapple Fried Rice

    What a disappointing experience. This was our second visit here. Our last time was over a half year ago, and either they've gotten a new chef overall or they had a new chef for this evening. We came in on a Wednesday evening at 4:30pm, so there wasn't a dinner rush. There were two servers and at least one cook, yet the wait was very, very long for the food. There was only one other couple in the restaurant, so why there was such a delay was confusing. I had the pineapple fried rice with tofu, medium spice. I ordered cilantro to be added, but they forgot it. The entree came out hot instead of medium, and for some reason tasted incredibly metallic. I'm not sure what caused it, but it was not appetizing in any way. The service was slow and non-attentive, which again was odd given there were two servers and just two two-tops (so four patrons overall). Previously I had given Thai Tip a 4/5, but this time my dining companion and I agreed on a 2/5. I think that's generous given the food was unappetizing, the wait time slow, and the service inattentive. It's too bad their chef changed over or the quality has declined in the past half year. We won't return.

    Thai Tip opens at noon. We got there at five after on a Friday. We were lucky to get one of two tables left. Within two seconds of us walking in the door, wait staff were on us getting us comfortably seated, re-wiping the already wiped tables, getting us drinks, menus and preliminary stuff. This set the tone for our entire visit - two servers danced through the room, hustling water to anyone who might need it (a lot of people needed it - the food's level of heat is for real) and taking care of any little thing with absolute welcoming grace. Wow, such service! We came because a friend had recommended it. I've heard about Thai Tip for years, but honestly it always seemed like a hassle to go into the corner of a strip mall in this borderline challenged area. But wow was it worth it - and the fact the place was full right after it opened shows people know it. The restaurant is cozy and pleasantly decorated. The staff - well, you've seen me rave about the service. And the food! The food was fantastic. I've included pix of the present menu, which is extensive and has things that you don't find everywhere. Bear in mind that it took a while to come because it was being made fresh and we came in behind a stampeding herd of people, all of whom ordered before us (I think it was about 30 minutes from our order to the delivery of our food - which we happily waited). The flavors were bright and forward in the two dishes we got (spicy noodles with pork, spiced between medium and NM hot and eggplant curry with tofu, spiced medium: neither of these was in any way overbearing for two veteran spicy eaters, but we can see how moving up the scale from there would make things more adventurous), the textures were a treat and the spice level was as-described by the eager-for-you-to-enjoy-yourself server. The food was light, yet filling. The portion size was just fine - two entrees were more than enough for me (a reasonably big eater) and my wife (a lighter eater). Total for lunch was $27 something; we threw on a well-deserved tip to bring it up to $40 and were happily out the door, already planning our return.

We loved the jerky and sticky rice, now gone! Fish cakes is new but it was too chewy and dry with little flavor. Shrimp cocktail and dumplings were good. This was the only Thai restaurant in town that served good Thai rice noodle soup similar to pho. Sadly it's no longer the case. It was bland! Traditional beef soup included meatballs, now gone. They also charge ridiculous prices for some add-ons such as crushed peanuts $2.00 per order!! Really, for 2 ppl we could have bought a whole jar. Service ended up being good especially since we were the only patrons. I low balled the tip at time of order and ended up giving additional tip in cash. Sadly to say, it's off our list of favorite restaurant in town. Probably will not go back.

Their soup was not as flavorful as I would like, but this cleaner version surely will be more approachable.
