This has been my go-to Thai spot for YEARS! Such a hidden gem and we'll worth every penny. Their food is fresh and always with just enough heat. I get the pad see ew with beef and sometimes mix it up and get it with chicken (both options are EPIC!) Also, the owner got me addicted to Thai Tea which I had for thr first time at this place and is now a must have every single time I stop in. Definitely give this place a chance and spread the word, they deserve the love!

My partner and I have seen this little spot pop up on our feed a lot since we are in the San Fernando area and it was an awesome stop! We ordered the calamari, which was a little spicy so if you can't handle that avoid it but we love ourselves some spice and the dipping sauce for it was nice and sweet. We also ordered the yellow curry and orange chicken, which were great as well. The yellow curry does not come with rice, but we were planning on getting some on the side anyway. We ordered the mild level spice for the curry and it was pleasantly spicy as well, but if you're going solo on it the spice does catch up with you about halfway through the bowl. The orange chicken was awesome, it was crunchy and sweet but the meat was tender, hot and the serving for it was a good plate full but it is a la carte so keep that in mind as well. The service was good, nothing crazy since it's a small shop so if you're expecting to come in and for them to table touch often it's not that style of restaurant. All in all i would probably order out from here more than anything but if you want a nice little quiet spot to have some delicious Thai food this is a good place to stop in some time :)

Your typical mom and pop shop, So nothing fancy. Food is tasty, but the portions are small. If you want a lot, the soups come larger portioned. Good for take out.

The food is so yummy, it was great trying out this new place & Jayne (Jane?) was amazing she was so sweet and friendly when I came in to order, very accommodating and even brought me water while I waited. It’s so refreshing to go somewhere to order & you’re greeted so kindly with a very positive sweet attitude. Thank you Jayne!

I have to tell you I just love this place. I'm partial it's in my neighborhood and I like to support my neighbors. The food I think is great. The service is pretty good and the ambience is OK. It's my neighborhood Thai restaurant and I would go there any day.

Really good lunch specials... I tried the Mongolian beef, it had good flavor with a lot of fresh garlic which I loved.. next time I will be trying the beef basil... the place is nice and neat, the service is fast and the prices are great.. my lunch special included two small pot stickers, white rice, a delicious simple salad and the Mongolian beef for 12.00. I will definitely come back and try other items in the menu.

Ahhhhhh jumping up and down with joy!!!! I am so happy this restaurant reopened. This is our go to spot for many years. The owner and cooks are so nice and very accomodating. We would come here weekly when they were located on Chatsworth and Balboa, they had closed down and they have now moved to Mission Hills. The food here is so good, I really enjoy the Tom Kha soup, the chow mein, roti curry, veggie fried rice, I mean they have so much to choose from. The restaurant is clean and we love coming here.

Delicious Thai food and good service. Family owned restaurant with a home cooked feel. Never disappointed
The owners are very welcoming! The restaurant is very clean!!! And the food is very authentic which is what I look for personally. Me and my family have been eating at Spice up thai since their previous location.P.s. they only serve mango sticky rice seasonally, says a lot!Definitely recommend!!!

The best thai food restaurant in town. The owners are very welcoming. My family has been coming here for 7 years (even at their old location). My husband loves their coconut soup, and I enjoy the orange chicken and pad see-U. The restaurant is clean and my daughter loves coming here too!

Small little hole in the wall in my neighborhood. Food is tasty and came out quick! Pad See Ew with beef 5/5 - well balanced flavor. Papaya salad 4.5/5 - got it in a medium but it's more mild otherwise super greasy and great taste! BBQ pork 5/5 - just the perfect amount of char, juicy and the lime chili dipping sauce is perfect.

This place is exceptional. My brother has not eaten for about 5 days and started to get an appetite, so this was one of his first meals. He and we all loved to food. Service was quick, polit, and professional. I recommend this place highly.

A good place for most. My child enjoyed a new dish she found, which would be the only reason to go back. I ordered red curry soup which was a little “off.” I personally had a hard time with the smell, almost as if it was moldy, and I’ve had plenty of curry. After forcing myself to eat it, I was able to enjoy it to an extent. I took it home, after reheating it, and couldn’t do it. The service was okay, but a little rude in not knowing how to help me find a good choice for my child. You know when you want help finding something, and expect guidance, well they said “you would know what she wants, not me.” No assistance, but after that very attentive and nice.
