    Decent lunch special deals. The pad thai was pretty good although it came with rice which is weird for me with noodle. Bit of a carb overload. I've never had rice served with pad thai. I'd probably just get the regular order of pad thai or another item if I returned. It was tasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was nice and it's a cute clean option for thai in La Quinta.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The rest of menu looks good.

    Ah well. I'm getting old. I goofed when I originally typed this review a while ago. I put it under…read morethe wrong restaurant. Literally, did not realize until just now when I wanted to make a return visit to Palm Tree Palace. I've removed my review from the wrong restaurant. So here is the review you deserved! So sorry for that mistake! The algorithm got me that time. Fast service and tasty food prepared quickly as well. Busy night of mostly parties of 2, and one large party of about 6. Large portions for dinner. We had enough for two more meals. Fried rice was a lil crunchy, but overall the food was great. Wish they had dinner combinations.

    Need I say more:…read more "Palm Tree Palace, 79660 Highway 111, Ste. 103, La Quinta Major violation: Observed wastewater to be overflowing at floor sink at cook line during active food preparation. Staff was directed to cease all food preparation until corrected. Staff corrected on site. Minor violations: When asked to provide proper internal cooking temperature for beef, chicken, and seafood, main cook of the day and manager were unable to provide adequate information. Main cook did not posses a valid Riverside County food handler card at the time of inspection; observed various uncovered food items in cooler and freezer; Observed build up on knives stored on wall mounter knife holder and on hooks used for Peking Duck stored on metal shelving adjacent to preparation sinks; and others.

    As a new yorker, Chinese food is a staple. I've lived a lot of places since I've lived in New York…read moreand I have not been able to find comparable Chinese food. I was so incredibly impressed with Da Chef Noodle, I felt actually giddy joy when discovering it existed and then even more excited once I learned the food is as good as you think it is going to be when you walk in. Staff was low key but kind and helpful. I popped in on accident one night when I was in the area and have ordered several times since. My first fortune cookie read: You are in the right place for something unforgettable. And boy, were they right! The roast pork was sweet, tangy balanced perfect with salty. The walnut shrimp might be the best I've ever had and I've lived all over the world. Typing this now, I can't wait to go back. I'm new out here to the valley and didn't expect to find such incredibly delicious Chinese food. So grateful for this find!

    This is one of my favorites in the desert... sort of hole in the wall Chinese place, as it is…read moretucked away, sort of, off a vety traffic heavy little corner of Washington and country club. I've been several times, the first time about 3 weeks after it opened. Didn't write a review then, or did I? Anyway... It is about the size of a Starbucks lobby, complete with standard decorative restaurant applications. There's a couple of tables and a half dozen booths to sit in. Soda selection is limited, and they do have a few adult beverages there as well. I don't drink, so I usually don't check out the drink menu. Not to make the staff seem too stereotypical, but as soon as I heard the yelling in the kitchen, with the language of the natives, I knew from the first visit, this was gonna be at the very least, a tasty meal. This visit was not a disappointing one. I ordered the potstickers, and an order of combo lo mein. Very good and very filling. And all the flavors were very authentic. I will say the service is hot and miss, but only because the language barrier is somewhat thick. But, I really don't need to ask for anything else past the meal being set, because that's ultimately what matters, in my opinion. As long as we communicate, the plates and cups aren't thrown at me, I'm a happy camper. I feel like this place is a little more popular for take out, but I think it is also worthy of a sit in meal. I'm having the duck next time... Thanks!

    My Thai in LQ near Trader Joe's is a delightful spot for celebrating the foodie fathers out here…read more We went on Friday as we like to celebrate early, without crowds. My husband is predictable in his preferences so he always is happy with their food and lovely staff. The tofu with tamarind, mossaman, curries, potstickers, eggplant and noodle dishes are delicious and generous. The eat-in and the takeout customers keep them hopping when we are there. If you are looking to support a local business and put a smile on a foodie's face, we recommend My Thai. Such a great value! https://mythailq.com/

I always feel welcomed upon entering and the service is always great and attentive! The restaurant itself is spacious and easy to get around, with some TVs playing live games. We ordered the Tom-Yum soup and Pad Thai today. We usually order their Papaya Salad and Fresh Spring Rolls as our appetizers but we decided to order something new! The Tom-Yum soup is good, but I do believe it's missing some tart/sourness that you'd taste in other traditional Tom-Yum soups, however it's packed with lots of chicken and mushrooms, so that's an A+ in my book! And of course the star of the show, the Pad Thai. You can definitely taste the authenticity of this dish here, it's sweet, savory, nutty, and very aromatic! It was also nice and smoky, you can definitely tell that it was cooked on a wok. They are very generous with their portions as well. All in all, love this place, if you're ever craving Thai food, and you are nearby, My Thai should be on the top of your list :)
