I would rate this restaurant 3 1/2 stars.Service was attentive, fast, and polite. The atmosphere is minimalist and modern. The food was decent but lacked flavor. We ordered Pad See I and BBQ Pork with mixed vegetables. The noodles were cooked nicely, but the chicken was a bit dry and it was bland. The BBQ Pork wasn't barbecued, it was closer to grilled and did not have the char you would expect from a BBQ plate.Overall, a slightly above average meal in my opinion.

I love their ginger prawns and coconut rice. I do not like their takeout boxes because they leak over everything.

Went there for lunch. Had the barbecue beef salad, which was on a nice bed of fresh greens. Nice and crunchy. And the beef was well prepared and well flavored. The portions were generous without being overwhelming. The atmosphere is on the quiet side, so it's nice to have a conversation with your lunch partner, and the decor is understated and not distracting. The service was prompt and the food was good.

Wow! So far the best Thai resto in Alameda. Clean and staff was great. Everyone was happy with their lunch specials. Will be back.

The food is tasty and and made with good ingredients. Soups and rice dishes are my personal favorites.
This is some delicious tasty food cooked with love. Little hard to see from the street.Calm atmosphere, great fresh ingredients.We ordered an eggplant salad with scallops and minced meat. So delicious, not greasy, fresh with a symphony for the taste buds. It’s a warm salad. Drunken noodles with calamari, wow.And Tom yum soup sooo good as well- great lemon gras taste. Thank you.I have been disappointed with Thai food restaurants lately and this place made me fall in love with the authentic Thai tastes again. Definitely start coming only here from now on.

Worst phad thai… doesn’t even taste like phad thai. Taste like cheap instant noodle

Soooo tasty! We really enjoyed the fresh tofu rolls, corn cakes, green curry, a chicken curry and drunken noodles. Just the right amount of spice and flavors. Service is very friendly. The restaurant is nicely decorated -- we will try it again and dine in; this time we had takeout.
Spice I Am is our go to Thai Restaurant on the island. They are consistent and always tasty. They don't skimp on portions, nothing is super greasy. The service is quick and everyone is always friendly. I wish they used Mary's Chicken or that the quality of ingredients were a little higher. But it's standard for most folks. I just like organic, local produce etc.

This was my second time visiting Spice I Am. The first time I was in a group and there were several others in the restaurant and the food was really good. The second time it was just my friend and I with no one else in the place and again it was delicious. Different meals, different circumstances and both were wonderful. Highly recommend it.

Sadly another place that must have lost its kitchen staff during the pandemic. This was quite a nice spot for Thai food back then. But we went back for the first time and we're very disappointed: the phat Thai noodles were soggy, and the only discernible flavor was sweet. The Thai BBQ pork was dry, overcooked porknovee steamed veggies, with a bit of an overly sweet sauce, no hint of any other flavor. The XO screaming shrimp and scallops were a bit better, but again one-dimensional. Yet another post-pandemic casualty!
