Consistent, tasty, and super fast and friendly service. If you’re looking for the classics of Thai street food, you’ll find them here. Not avant garde, just everything as you’d expect - which is great. Mild is mild, spicy is spicy. Vegetarian options: Likely anything can be made vegetarian aside from fried chicken.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp into the main dining area.

The restaurant is a delightful experience because the storefront is only four or five feet wide on the street entrance yet you step back through the busy open kitchen to find the dining area extends back into a vast courtyard with seating under the dappled light that filters from the tree canopy.My mom and I like the pumpkin curry and pad Thai. The vegetables are chopped with care so uniformly and the seasoning couldn't be better.. the tofu is flambeed in sauce prior to being served on the dishes.

Thai Spice has good food and ok sized portions. The service is always good and the establishment is very clean. Lunch combos come with a side, I usually get pad see ew with pot stickers.Pad See Ew: loaded with chicken and veggies and the ryte amount of flavor.Thai taste is a definite ‘must try’ if you’re in Piedmont and like Thai food.Parking: Parking is not impossible but can take some effort depending on time of dayKid-friendliness: Kid friendly, basic dishes are servedWheelchair accessibility: Accessible for sure

Great food. Real taste that is not from just putting curry powder or salt into the dish!!

Love the Papaya Salad...always fresh and crunchy, dressing is just right. Tried the Pad Thai with Tofu, very flavorful. Lastly, love the Thai Ice Tea

Came here to lunch and they are dog friendly!An amazing Thai meal at Thai Taste. Got distracted with friends and didn't get a chance to take photos of each dish!Highly recommend each dish we ordered. The pad see ew, basil chicken with egg, roti with yellow curry sauce, moo ping (this was amazing and I could eat the whole plate of skewers), and the Khao mun gai (harder to share family style). The taste of each dish was memorable and I will be returning again!

Whenever my girlfriend and I are in the mood for Thai takeout, this is our go to. We've had their takeout at least 5 times now. We have yet to dine in, but I can't imagine it would disappoint.

Love the outdoors seating in the back. Very quaint and whimsical.Food is excellent, order anything, it's all good and worth it.Service is excellent. Cold beverages come with a cool straw end covering that makes you wonder, "how did they do that?" ?Parking: Limited street parking, narrow streets, small curb lengths, good luck.Kid-friendliness: Brought a 3-week old baby and was able to accommodate the stroller at the table with outside seating.

Walking in and seeing the kitchen was really cool. Love to see the chef doing their thing! I went on a Sunday around 7pm and the restaurant was pretty empty (usual for that time on a Sunday). They have around 10 tables inside and a nice outdoor patio. After checking out the back it was a bit quiet for me. I headed back in because there was bit of an odor inside. Not horrible, but noticeable so I sat inside by the door.I ordered the samosas, pad see ew and and thai iced coffee. The samosas were different than I've had at other thai places. They're smaller, triangle shaped and have a thing flaky crust. They came with a sweet cucumber sauce and OMGGGGG they were so good, perfect finger food. The pad see ew was also some of the best I had. I think I'd rate one place better and they aren't open anymore! Perfect temperature, good amount of sauce and the noodles weren't soggy. As I write this I realized I didn't order extra egg like I normally do, but I didn't even notice at the time. After dinner I indulged in the Thai iced coffee and... I don't even have the words. I went 5 days ago and I've thought about it everyday since! Everything about this place was great. I haven't tried enough of the menu items to give 5 starts, I can't wait to eat my way through the menu and give y'all an update!

Explosive diarrhea 5 minutes after eating food in this restaurant. Think of your health first before going here. Not sure if it was murine, food poison or mouse droppings.

I love Thai food, and have tried a LOT of Thai restaurants. Thai Taste Kitchen is the best Thai food I have had in California. The food is fresh, full of complex, delicious flavors (and you can customize spice level in many dishes), and just all around amazing. Their food feeds my soul when nothing but yummy Thai food will do. The crispy chicken is a miraculous feat of crunchy tastiness! How does anything get that crispy??!!! Pad see ew is fabulous, as are their yellow curry chicken and Pad Thai. We have only done takeout, so I can't comment on service, but their takeout is quick and they've never made a mistake with my order. I HIGHLY recommend this great restaurant. Thank you, Thai Taste Kitchen for many happy dinners!

Great food and I loved the outdoor seating! I asked if I could make mine spicy and they said they can make anything spicy. They gave me a small container cup thing of VERY spicy chilies. I mixed about 3/4th of it into my curry, because I am a spice fiend. Would not recommend more than 1/4th of that unless you eat randomly ghost peppers.
