My family and I come here often and love the food! Everything is so consistently delicious. We have many different dishes and have not ever been disappointed!Kid-friendliness: The woman who owns the restaurant always remembers exactly what our son orders.

Came here on a Sunday night after craving Thai. The restaurant reeked of sewage when we walked in. The waitress was not very friendly. We ordered Tom Yum soup which was okay. The Pad Woon Sen was a very small portion, only taking up half the plate. The Spinach Noodles were whiteish yellow instead of green. We asked the waitress if it was the correct order and she assured us it was. They were very bland. The hallway to the bathroom is very cluttered with random items and did not feel clean. Will not be returning. Jewel of Siam in Orland in much better, but closed Sundays.

I visited my parents over this holiday season and they know I love a specific Thai food dish. They wanted to take me out so I found this place and I'm so glad I convinced them to make the drive. It was the best Pad Si Eiw (however it's spelled. Seems like every place spells it differently) I ever tasted. I normally never finish the whole plate but I just couldn't stop eating it. Even my parents loved what they ordered (some kind of lobster soup and a pepper steak soup), which is really saying something if you know my parents. 10/10 would recommend. Oh yeah. They had 2 Pad Si Eiw options. The normal with broccoli but also one with asparagus and I got the asparagus one which still also had broccoli. It was perfect.Vegetarian options: There were about the same amount of vegetarian options as most Thai places. Most noodle and rice dishes you could choose veggies or tofu like normal.

my partner and I have been looking for a very good thai spot seeming the one we used to go to closed it's doors. Then we came across Thai Smile.Walking in the atmosphere is chill,Food was very good from the crab Rangoon and the egg rolls down to the main entrees which were chicken pad Thai & catfish garlic.We asked for medium spicy and that's what we got. Every bite was delicious. We recommend you try out Thai Smile for yourself if you are looking for a good place to eat. We left content and full. ??

It was a cute place, very decorated & tidy. I had the chicken pad thai and thai ice tea. Both were very good. The one size is good for two or three people in my opinion. The spring rolls weren’t what I was expecting but I think I need to read descriptions better. It was a little expensive if you’re by yourself but tbh what isn’t these days? I didn’t have to wait long at all, oh and highly recommend getting an extra side of penut sauce its really good.

i am so picky with thai food, and with that i can confidently say this is my absolute favorite thai restaurant. the service is wonderful, like truly wonderful, and the food is that type of food that you just can't stop eating even when your full. (the pad see ewe is to die for) the ambiance is lovely. such a good atmosphere over all. 10/10 recommend

Absolutely LOVE this place! My best friend and I call this place, "our therapy". We have been to many, many Thai restaurants and this is our favorite. The pot of hot tea along with the food is heaven. I prefer a small family owned business and the server, Bo makes the dining experience comforting. It's the type of place to go when you need to decompress and simply enjoy the food and the company you are with.

They were such a friendly family running the place - unfortunately the food has no flavor. Got chicken pad Thai and beef pad see eiw and if you closed your eyes you wouldn't know the difference between the beef and the chicken. The pad Thai had a very faint flavor - and it was good but barely caught any bites that were flavorful. I honestly feel that they don't season their dishes authentically because of the neighborhood they are in people would probably complain because it's an area that likes very generic food. Much more meat and potatoes than authentic Thai food. Food was hot and looked good - just literally has no flavor. Also, don't bother with the crab Rangoon they were basically hollow.

Been going here for many years, but today I had lunch and the carrots had black from rotten parts. Will not be returning.

I was a little worried due to recent poor reviews, but we decided to see for ourselves. Ordered a red curry dish and pad thai. Everything was nicely cooked, fresh ingredients. Just wish it would've been spicier. Better restaurants usually ask how spicy you want it. We did ask for some chili sauce to ramp up to the spice level I prefer. Nice Thai decor, free parking. Not bad overall.
