In all my years of eating Thai food quite often, I have never had any this bad. The noodles on all of our dishes were fused together. I could only separate them in clumps, not threads. It was as if they were overcooked and sat in the bottom of the pot overnight, and re-heated. Dish was mostly noodles. Very little of everything else. Not the usual abundance of nutrients. The space is quaint, but not very large. Cashier was polite. Too bad the food was awful. I was looking forward to a great tasting Thai meal when I saw the reviews, and the name "Spice." Both were misleading.

The pan fried Gui Chai Dumplings as an appetizer was delicious, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the sauce is a savory sweet sauce. I ordered the Paht Si-Ew noodles with veggies and egg. The noodles were definitely home made, delicate,very wide, great texture that I haven't had anywhere else. The dish was fragrant and fresh made. Veggies were well cooked with a slight crunch, I'll definitely come back for more. Service was great. Food is consistent.Vegetarian options: You can definitely ask for no egg or no meat, he sometimes even double checks to make sure you want egg when you order vegetarian options.

Food tastes generic, way too sweet. Food smells foul. Will not be returning.

I got the spicy Thai vegetable fried rice with pineapples added in it. It was soo goooodd ! I love it. It’s my fave. Atmosphere is great. The customer service is quite exceptional and fast too. Prices and portion sizes of meals are decent/reasonable. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for good authentic Thai food in the local area. You won’t regret it. My food was well seasoned and flavorful 12/10 :) I’ll be back again soon.

This is a nice quaint restaurant. The service personnel was very friendly and thoughtful. I ordered my to go inside and waited at the little counter up front. The waiter quickly sat customers that came in after me and took my order. He gave me a glass of water while I waited.To my surprise the pot stickers were delicious! The crispiest I had ever had light and nicely filled with a chicken stuffing. The Druken Noodles was a total disappointment! I ordered the beef noodles and I must say, “Where’s the beef?!” I may have found a teaspoon of beef mixed in with my noodles that were unusually sticky. I also ordered the Thai Iced Tea and it was yummy.If I’m in the area I would go in for the pot stickers and tea. But I wouldn’t make a special trip.

It's one of my favorite new places! I went here with my 9-year-old and we both absolutely loved this place. We're looking forward to going back with the rest of my family....Kid-friendliness: My 9 year old loved this place!

We were staying for the night and wanted some Thai food, so we came to Spice for dinner. The owner was so friendly to us and extremely courteous. When all 3 of us ordered pad Thai, she suggested we try her orange chicken instead. She said it was the best in town. It was the best I’ve ever had!! Since we all changed our orders to the orange chicken, she treated us to a pad Thai plate that we all could share - complimentary!Needless to say, I left a very big tip at the end.People who live in this area: do yourselves a favor and go check this restaurant out.Amazing experience.
The food was great. I would have personally liked a bit more, but it was all delicious. My husband and I are vegan, and the server was super helpful in helping us select the best dishes. He even recommended a curry to my husband that is not on the regular menu.

This is the ONLY Thai restaurant I go to. The service is always amazing and the food is ALWAYS hot and tasty. It’s consistent. I had the panaang curry and it was just enough spice and very flavorful. The paht thai with beef was super filling and flavorful as well.For appetizers we had vegetable egg rolls and potstickers. Both were amazing but my favorite was the vegetable egg rolls. SUPER crunchy and the sweet and sour sauce is to die for! Will always continue to go here.Shop is very small and the front is taken care of by one man but the service is still always fast and friendly! Worth the wait.
