We came to Thai Spice on a Wed night. There was no wait and 3 other people seated. They always greet us with smiles, and they are very pleasant. When reading the reviews and looking at the poor quality photos, I think they are getting a disservice.We ordered Chicken Satay and Roti (unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo, so I had to lift one off the internet). The Satay is fresh and delicious. The condiments that come with it are also very tasty.The Roti was warm and flakey. The same peanut sauce that comes with the Satay comes with the Roti. It's thick and not watered down like another reviewer stated.Our entrees were Chicken Ra-Na with Broccoli instead of spinach (the guys favorite-fresh thinly sliced chicken and broccoli perfectly cooked with a thick peanut sauce), Pumpkin Curry - Veggie - medium spicy (always delicious - super fresh and loaded with veggies. The pumpkin squash is cooked so it falls apart in your mouth) hopefully someday it will get back to being served IN the kabocha, ? and Spicy Spaghetti - Veggie - medium spicy (fresh and delicious - think of it as Thai tasty chow mein with lots of delicious healthy veggies and not greasy like chow mein). We ordered white rice and shallot rice. The shallot rice is cooked in the pan with the shallots, so it takes on a crispier texture and darker color.We loved our meal. We didn't appreciate the loud table next to us of two women complaining about the price of the peanut sauce and how they don't eat rice or noodles (not sure why you would come to a Thai restaurant then). But it wasn't the restaurants fault for their lack of situational awareness.We've always loved Thai Spice and have never had a bad meal there or takeout. The pandemic REALLY hurt their business, so please give them a try if you're in the area. ❤️

10/10! This little gem has amazing food and their service is excellent! Everything came out hot and fresh and best of all, quickly! Even my 7 year old son kept saying "THIS IS SOOO GOOD" over and over. Will definitely be back.

This is definitely Americanized Thai food. I gave this place a try because my go to Siam Station was closed and I was badly needing a Thai fix. Portions are very good for the price but like I said before, americanized. It is definitely not authentic thai food. It is missing the punch everyone loves in thai food. I got the mango sticky rice, pad se ew, and Tom kha. Everything besides the tom kha was average. The soup itself was way below average. This place is not my first choice. If I had to order again I would order the pad se ew and the mango sticky rice.

Decided to try this place after seeing Red Chili (THE BEST thai food) is closed on Mondays. This place is the worst thai food ive ever had..ordered the pad thai, pad se ew, and house fried rice. Absolutely no flavor and everything taste like bad food court food. Sad, such a waste of money.

I love Thai Spice. Their service is super quick. I usually order to go. Very efficient and the food is delicious.

This is the best Thai food in Willow Glen, no question. Their seafood dishes are excellent and we love the mango curry, too. Hard to go wrong here!Update: post-pandemic you can still dine-in but clearly the vast majority of their dinner business is takeout and I don't think I'd eat here in person. There's too much transient foot traffic of people & Doordashers picking up orders for it to feel very comfortable. Food is still great, though!

This place lacks spiciness and a bit of flavor! 3rd time I purchased my favorite Thai basil chicken here, this time I said a lot spicier than what you say it is, only to get the dish a tiny bit more spicy. When you say Thai spicy, make it Thai spicy!! This dish lacks a bit of flavor. And tho the food was ready, I had to wait for the "owner" to arrive so that she could charge my food because no one else other than her could open the cash register! One last thing, they DO NOT provide you with utensils (assuming they'll give you some of you ask for them?) so beware in case you think you'll be able to eat the food in the car!

I love their chow mean. Whenever we go there it is always a great night out. They remember us and are always nice and pleasant to talk to. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and the staff people are friendly. The service is very good. I recommend this place very highly.

Horrible food and service. Everything was burnt and dry. Never again will I eat here. I forgot to mention that the food was not edible. Everything was burnt. Pineapple was burnt, the cashews were burnt. Rice was burnt. Pad Thai was burnt. Not usually one to get on here but it was $115 and not edible. And we called and they told us to call Uber eats and they couldn't do anything about it lol

While the food was ok, there was a piece of metallic scrubbing pad in my food. Service was good. I’ve also had stomach pains and diarrhea since then and I ate there 2 days ago.
