Ate here before engagement photos at the Citrus State Historic Park. My friend and I ordered the drunken noodles, papaya salad, and panang curry. All three were ordered medium and were not too spicy. i enjoyed the papaya salad a lot. They were out of the grilled pork jowl this time, but my friend said that was the best and to order it next time. read more

I was in the mood for Thai food and saw this place highly recommended online as one of the best in the area, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered takeout online, and pickup was quick, about 15 minutes. Parking was easy, and I was able to find a spot right in front of the restaurant. When I stopped by on a Thursday evening, the place looked busy with a lot of people dining in. I ordered a medium-spice chicken pad Thai and a side of egg rolls. The chicken pad Thai had a good spice level but lacked depth of flavor and was drier than I'm used to. The chicken was also overcooked since it was a bit tough to chew. The egg rolls were crispy, and the vegetables inside were nicely cooked, but they were nothing particularly memorable. Overall, it was an okay meal, but not the best Thai food I've had. I just wish it had more flavor. I'm not sure I'll be back to try other dishes. read more

Chaam Eatery - Missing some flavor | Egg Rolls ( 4 pcs ) & Pad thai Noodles - Thai Near Me - Riverside, California

Used to come to this place back when it was a pizza joint in the 90s. There has been some changes, it's noticeably smaller inside. Beyond that, there were 6 available tables and 3 were taken. We were sat immediately and then what I presume was the only server, vanished. For quite some time. He came back and brought us water and then disappeared again for 10ish minutes. He came out and handled the other tables, but continued to ignore ours. My wife assumed it was because our menus were still out, so we stacked them to the side and he immediately returned. Food didn't take very long, and someone else did appear to bring it, so I know our guy wasn't completely alone. It was...fine. Nothing phenomenal, nothing terrible. Just ok. Now for the weird part- I've never rated a place based on the ambiance, especially the music, but it was just too strange to ignore. It was like 80s soft rock songs, but slowed down. I can't explain it, but each one was the song, slowed down to like 85%. Enough that it was very noticeable. This, and the slow service, just kinda set the mood. Point, I didn't like it. I didn't like how slow and drab it was inside. I didn't like the song choice, which again isn't something I ever pick up on, until now. And I didn't particularly care for the food. read more

The food was so delicious. The service was superb. We had a group of five and not a complaint amongst us. The restaurant is in a busy shopping center, but we walked right in and the was plenty of seating. read more

Chaam Eatery - Mango sticky rice - Thai Near Me - Riverside, California

First time dining here since it became Chaam Eatery. Nice ambiance, beautifully decorated for the holidays. Opted for pad Thai with shrimp and crab fried rice, both with medium spice. I had a lychee iced tea, which was sweet and refreshing (and got refills too!) Both dishes were sooo good with just right amount of heat (medium spice seemed more hot, so I suggest mild if you can't handle spicy food). You can also request chili on the side. Service was great too and I definitely recommend trying this place out. read more

Go here immediately. Their flavors are on point and great sizes for the price. We got the sampler appetizer, a lunch special dish, a dessert, and two drinks (not water) for $50. It was enough for both me and my boyfriend and we were FULL afterwards. Music is like mid-2000s midwest hits and vibes are peaceful and servers were friendly and helpful. GO HERE!!! 100/10 read more

The food was great. Had simple dishes like the combo fried rice, pad se ew, and a chicken and broccoli which was very delicious. All the flavors were light and soft which honestly almost felt healthy in a sense. But being light in a sense means less flavor. Hard for me to tell if it's 5 stars or 4 stars. But if I'm comparing to other Thai places I've been too I'd have to give this on the higher end of 4 stars. Also great service with nice quiet ambiance. I'd come back for sure read more

My wife and I have eaten here several times. The food is always fresh, the soups are wonderful, and the service top notch. Great lunch specials, too. read more

Great food! Will come back, really enjoyed everything. Amazing servers, friendly. The sampler appetizer was amazing, loved the fried wontons! read more

Our server was excellent! And the food was mostly good. There were some dishes that were way too sweet. For instance, someone in our party got the shrimp pad Thai and not only was it already sweet, but they served it with a spoon full of sugar another guest got the panang curry and said it was too sweet. I got the crispy fish, which had a sauce that was also too sweet. The shrimp tempura seemed a bit undercooked, but only me and my friend felt that way. Everything else was great. read more

Chaam Eatery is a great find, conveniently located on a plaza off Van Buren in Arlington South. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, with a nicely designed interior. Service was super friendly and attentive throughout our visit. We came on a Friday evening, and the place was buzzing with diners. We ordered the Tom Yum Chef's Special with shrimp, Crab Fried Rice, Panang Curry, and Pad Ka Prow. Every dish was flavorful, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. A genuinely excellent experience all around--will definitely be back! read more

February 2025. Our first time here. They've been open a mere 8 months, but I am patient, not one to rush to the grand opening. My philosophy is, new restaurants are like a fine wine that needs time to age, perfect, and improve. Finally, it was time to test the waters. So pretty inside, very welcoming and clean, lots of tables each with a little bud vase containing a fresh, red carnation, greens, and a tiny string of twinkling led lights. But best of all, we came because the 8 months of reviews were solid. So we came. We ate. We raved. The food knocked it out of the park! First came the crab fried rice. It made Mr. B's eyes roll. Real crab! Then the single serving of Tom Kha Gai soup, a big soup bowl loaded with tender chicken, mushrooms, and all the essential exotic ingredients (lemongrass, galangal, kaffirs lime leaves, cilantro, and coconut cream, etc.). The best! Finally, the big bowl of red curry with pork. Winners, all three. The thing that caught our attention was the meat in each dish. Very delicately cooked so it was moist and tender, unlike so many. But the flavors, too, were complex, as they should be. So mouth-watering. And the servings so generous that these are going to make some mighty great leftovers! Ahhh, where have you been my whole life? And so convenient too. Great service. Good prices. A total win! read more

Love the creamy salad dressing and yellow curry. Server is so nice and prompt. I gave 4 stars because they don't have lunch specials on weekends. Had to pay 3$ for a side salad which isn't a lot but comes with your meal on weekdays. read more

FOOD COOKED WITH LOVE !!!! Beef salad was YUMMY IN MY TUMMY!!! Soooooooo good!!!! I passed by the restaurant a few times because my daughter has cheer in the area and wasn't sure what it was so I went on YELP and looked it up and decided to stop in. Of course my fellow Yelpers never disappoint!!! They said it was good authentic Thai food and that is facts!!!!! The place is quiet and quaint and very cozy. Very cute very demure! I ordered the Beef Salad which came highly recommended from Yelpers and when I tell you ...it was DELICIOUS!!!!!! All Of the ingredients married well together with the medium dressing. I mean I can't wait to go back there just for this salad. The owner and chef came out and when I say she is the sweetest lady. She was so kind and humble and appreciative of my business. I really loved her. This place is a must try if you are in the area. You can tell the food was cooked with love cause I felt the love and tasted the love in my dish. I will definitely be going back there. See you soon !!!! Shaya read more

Great food! Excellently seasoned knowledgeable friendly staff. Had Tom Yum soup, great flavor and shrimp pad tai.

Ordered take out from here last night and everything was phenomenal! I've eaten at a lot of Thai places in riverside and none of them hit the spot for me quite like this place. We had the chicken pad Thai, beef & shrimp pad se ew, and the orange chicken. The orange chicken had a stronger orange flavor and almost tart sweet but we really enjoyed it. I've never been asked for a spice level on a pad se ew before but it was so dang good spicy! Girl at the front counter was sweet We will be back read more

Suuuuperrrrrr late review but I'm still thinking about this meal. We got the pad Thai, chicken curry, pineapple fried rice, and veggie plate. Everything WAS SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD. My only complaint is that the portions were a bit on the smaller size but it was phenomenal. Will definitely be back!! read more

This place is great! We came here as a party of 12 for a birthday celebration. The nice older woman (owner?) went out of her way without us asking to buy candles for the birthday cake we bought.

Chaam Eatery - Pineapple curry - Thai Near Me - Riverside, California

First time eating here since new ownership took over and I am glad they did!! It certainly received a much needed face lift. From the start we were greeted from the friendly server who I believe is Maliena. Maliena guided us through our lunch experience and frequently checked on us. Could not be happier with the service! As for the food!? I am a very seasoned Thai food eater, eating Thai food from LA, OC and IE. This place ranks right up there with the best. We ordered the papaya salad, pineapple fried rice and pad kee mao. Flavor in each dish was consistent with every bite. Spice level for medium was okay, I would like to try the next level up next time. I also cannot complain about portion size with the price, good value. All in all this new Thai restaurant surpassed my expectation. Good vibes and great food! *Just a thought, I believe it may be hard for people to realize this is a Thai restaurant due to the name. There is a sign on the window that says Thai food but it could easily be missed. read more

If you're in Riverside and craving authentic Thai cuisine, look no further than Chaam Eatery! This hidden gem stands out from every other Thai spot I've tried in SoCal--and trust me, I've tried a lot. Chaam doesn't just serve Thai food; it brings the spirit of Thailand right to your table, using authentic ingredients that transport you straight to Bangkok with each bite. The ambiance is very surreal and clean. From the first moment you step in, you're treated like family. The owner, Amaree, greets you with the warmth of a close friend, and the staff are as friendly as they come. You can feel they truly care about making your dining experience memorable, going above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. What's even better is their diverse menu--whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or a meat lover, they've got dishes that will make your taste buds dance! I'm still dreaming about their Pad Thai and their perfectly spiced green curry. The flavors here are rich, complex, and hands down the best I've had in the Inland Empire. If you're a Thai food lover, Chaam Eatery is a must-visit. Riverside is lucky to have this incredible spot! Don't miss out! read more

A gem of a Thai restaurant in Riverside. Authentic taste in a local spot. I've visited a few times and tried a few items and they've got the taste down right. Staff are friendly and the restaurant is clean. My personal recommendation is to try the Kor Moo Yang, a dish hard to find in the IE from a Thai restaurant. The pan fried noodles dishes like Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) are great and authentic. Their massaman curry is also delicious. The tom yum goong is also delicious, make sure to try the Chef's version which is flavourful and rich. Looking forward to continuing to work through the menu in my future visits. read more
