thai spice

first of all, i love curry and that's why we picked this place. it is unassuming from the street, but the atmosphere inside is nice. completely packed house, lots of take out orders, many families. prices were very reasonable, especially the wine. you can bring your own or order bottles at state minimum with just a $3 corking fee either way. also, for the kids, they have bubble tea and bubble smoothies which are very popular. theservicewas great, food was delicious, and overall dining experience was fantastic. will definitely be back.

ate lunch here based upon zomato review rating - very nice atmosphere- had the chicken dumplings that were very tasty and my first time for the pad kee mao - very good! greatserviceand reasonably priced!

takeout is not something this restaurant does well. called at 6:53pm, was placed on hold for almost 5 minutes. placed my order and was told at 7:00pm it would be 25-30 minutes. at 7:53pm my order was ready and paid for. one item, taro frozen shake with bubbles was missing bubbles.

i'm sure the food is fantastic but service, customerserviceand accuracy need improvement.

disappointed. the steak phu broth was amazing, but the steak was overcooked and tough. the pork stir fry was delicious, but the spring roll appetizer was overcooked and greasy. and theservicewas very very slow. the floor was completely empty of servers for long periods of time. overall, a disappointing experience.

2nd visit. another bland tasteless entree. i want to like this place. the staff is pleasent. the decor is nice. theserviceis good. my first visit provided bland and boring entress for me and my date. figuring i would give it another try i went with friends and specifically ordered something listed as hot from the menu. and it was bland and flavorless. the question is do i give them a third chance or simply go to one of the west sides other thai resteraunts. and i think that there are better places to spend my money.

restaurant reviewer. thai spice is a terrific find. not only is its thai cuisine true to form, its kitchen deftly blends in appealing takes on vietnamese and a few chinese items. veteran new york city restaurant reviewer bob lape (wcbs radio, crain's new york business) is so smitten with its clean, flavorful
cooking, engagingserviceand attractive setting that he'll make his third visit in ten days. siam ribs (under $7 as appetizer) is killer, fall-off-the-bone good in tangy barbecue sauce. lemongrass soup and pad thai are required eating, and for sheer fun, be sure to try the fruit-and-tapioca-laced bubble teas, and even fried coconut ice cream. thai spice westlake deserves a much bigger audience than it has.

friendly service, cozy atmosphere and quality food. my husband and i moved to westlake recently from new york city and have not had our favorite thai food since we had left so we thought we would research in our neighborhood. we came across thai spice and loved it! theservicewas warm and friendly. i had excellent hot ginger tea served with my own tea pot and tea cup and i enjoyed a healthy portion of the "ginger" dish with shrimp under their "pan fried dishes". the meal was excellent and they were able to give me brown rice with my meal instead of white which was great! my husband had the green curry with chicken and brown rice and raved about it as well. we both love a fair amount of spice and these meals, especially the green curry, offered it.

meh.. my wife and i went to thai spice on a sunday afternoon, with friends. some of the (deep fried) appetizers arrived lukewarm rather than hot. flavorings were oversweet and underwhelming. worse, theservicewas ridiculously slow; we waited a long time for the appetizers to arrive, then another long while for the entrees to arrive after the appetizers were finished. when the waitress collected our plates at the end of the meal, we indicated we wanted to order desserts. it took her about 20 minutes to bring us the menu so we could choose a dessert. then another long while before she came back to take the dessert order. finally we found ourselves staring at our empty plates for another 20 minutes while we waited for the check. she kept apologizing, apparently aware she'd been slow, but theservicedidn't get any better. altogether it took nearly 3 hours to get in and out of there, and they weren't even busy.

i want to like this place. some of the food is quite good, but some of these lapses are getting into my inexcusable zone. i doubt i'll go back.
