Food was so good! I've had a lot of Thai and this is my new favorite in the area. My family loved it too! The staff is amazing, so friendly, attentive and thoughtful with our small kids. Will be for sure be returning! read more

My go to spot was closed in this same strip mall, so I decided to try Hot Spice Thai and I was not disappointed. Walked and was seated promptly, the host came with the menu soon after and water. They have a lunch special that is 12.99; everything from fried rice, Pad Thai, pad see Euw, Red and yellow curries. You also get 2 spring rolls or bow of soup and a canned soda or unsweetened ice tea. Spring rolls came fresh out of the oil, crispy, well filed and tasted good. I love the sweet sauce that came with it. Got my chicken pad Thai spicy and it was out in 5 minutes; I could hear the wok banging as the chef cranked out dish after dish. It wasn't too busy and I honestly don't know why. This isn't a lunch portion, it's a proper meal; enough for 2 sittings if you want. They also had the largest chicken to noodle ratio I have seen in any Thai shop. If it was for the low traffic shopping center they'd have much busier lunch. I'm definitely going back read more

Delicious food, and the service was phenomenal. Great choice for Thai food in the area.

Hot Spice Thai has one of the best Thai foods in the Dallas metro. Their noodles are so tasty but they also have a delicious fried rice and even the yellow curry is delicious. I have dine in and pick up and the quality and portion for the price is well worth it. The service is awesome and the place is super cozy to have a conversation. I highly recommend it! read more

Ambiance: Warm, inviting, and perfect for either dining in or grabbing takeout. Can't wait to come back -- easily one of the best Thai spots around! read more

Ordered takeout and everything was top notch, I definitely recommend the papaya salad and the Thai ravioli which was amazing.

Stopped by at night after a random craving for Thai food. It's a cozy little spot and wasn't busy at all, just a few people picking up to go orders while we were there. I ordered the Beef Basil Fried Rice, and my boyfriend got the Chicken Thai Fried Rice. My spice level was 2 and his was 4, but neither of us really felt any heat. I have a mild spice tolerance, and even then it wasn't spicy at all. The chili oil was really good and added a nice kick. The server was super nice and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. The food was decent, nothing mind blowing, but good enough that I'd come back to try other dishes, especially for the price. 3.8/5 read more

We liked this little Thai restaurant. It was cozy and the server friendly. The coconut shrimp appetizer was very delicious and Chicken Satay was good. The Tom Kha soup and my green curry chicken were very good. The Pad Thai tasted okay, but nothing special. Overall, would give this restaurant 3.8 stars. It is better than average but not amazing. read more

After months or maybe years of having subpar Thai food we finally found our new spot: Hot Spice Thai Cuisine! We ordered to-go and the food is amazing. I ordered the Pad Thai with Chicken and it was perfectly seasoned, perfectly moist (not dried out but also not drowning in sauce), the chicken is thin & tender (no fat or gristle), and the dish is served with a thick juicy lime wedge that actually produces lime juice lol. I had them add a fried egg on top and that was a nice touch. Hubby ordered Sweet & Sour Stir-fry with Chicken and white rice. He loved it. We also had an order of Veggie Spring Rolls and they were fantastic. The duck sauce is spiked with a hint of spice, which was perfect because we forgot to order mustard sauce. Didn't need it! According to recent Yelp! reviews, this place is recently under new management as of the past few months. I have no idea how their food was before but I can highly recommend them now. Please give them a try. I definitely want them to succeed because they are making some of the best Thai food around, I guarantee it. read more

My parents had highly recommended this spot so we decided to come here for dinner. Started off with spring rolls and chicken satay. The spring rolls were crispy and we loved the dipping sauce. The satay was cooked well but not much flavor - definitely enjoyed the peanut sauce but it wasn't as saucy as I usually had. Tried the pad kee mow and added chicken and tofu - best I've ever had. Absolutely loved it especially adding the chili oil to it. Dad got the Tom kha soup - very yummy. We all left happy. read more

I am so happy we found this place but so sad we live far from here because we could easily eat here 2-3 times a week!! When we walked in we were greeted and sat almost instantly. The restaurant looked and smelled amazing and was very clean! They had a lunch special that was such a good deal. The egg rolls for the appetizers were our favorite. It came with a drink choices and we ended up choosing Pad see ew and the yellow curry & rice. They were both delicious but the yellow curry was our favorite! I wish I took pictures but we were so hungry lol. The dishes were very nice portions good enough to share and we even had enough to take home for later. Great service and great food! read more

When I first walked in the door of Hot Spice and saw the photo of the monk with the elephant on the wall and smelled the gingery incense, I knew this place would be total greatness. We ordered fresh rolls, tom kha gai, and pad see ew. The food here is amazing, and so is the service! The tom kha gai had HUGE slices of chicken and was quite delicious. The spice level of our pad see ew was perfect, and the fresh rolls were nicely overstuffed and fresh tasting. And the server was incredibly nice and very helpful. We will definitely be back! read more

I am new to this city so I base my choose for lunch on this app. These reviews had me very excited for lunch . I placed my order at 11:00 for 1:00. When I got there the place was very nice and empty. I went up to the counter for pick up and the male look into the kitchen and told them to start the order ... I waited for 20 mins , during that time I ordered a Thai Tea that tasted like water and condensed milk ... the food was okay . This place isn't horrible, but it could be better. Definitely wouldn't recommend. read more

This review for Hot Spice( Formerly Chilli thai). Waitress who took our orders needs to be coached on how to talk to customers. She is either over worked or doesn't care. Coming to food, complimentary soup in lunch is watered down soup. It has no flavor other than coconut milk. Pad ke mow was the only saving grace for the lunch I had read more

Just had a wonderful meal at this restaurant. The dining area is small, but quaint and cozy. The server (who I think is also the owner) was extremely friendly and fast. The food was wonderful as well. Being new to the area, I have been looking for a Thai restaurant, and I think this may be my new go to! read more

We enjoyed this cozy little Thai spot. The service was friendly, and the coconut shrimp appetizer was delicious. The Chicken Satay was tasty, and both the Tom Kha soup and green curry chicken were great. The Pad Thai was decent, but nothing too special. Overall, a solid experience, I'd give it about 3.8 stars. Definitely better than average but not quite amazing. read more

Food was amazing, appetizers (Rangoon and steamed dumplings) were fabulous. Love this cozy ambiance in the restaurant. Hidden gem only 8 minutes from the house! Definitely will be back read more

Chicken satee was okay, not really bite size finger food but I was not impressed at all with the tofu spring rolls. They were so small and 95% lettuce. The tofu piece was the smallest strip of tofu and mind you only one piece of tofu per half. The lettuce was very crunchy but had a very sour taste. read more

Yummy local spot thats perfect for a quick thai eat. We're pretty basic, I usually get the tofu pad thai at a level 3 and my husband enjoys the drunken noodles with chicken. Their mango sticky rice is delicious! We have always gotten this to go and have never had any issues with substitutions or with condiments. Love the consistent service. read more

Amazing food, awesome service, and a great vibe inside. Their Massaman curry is absolutely amazing. Go try this Thai place!

Had a weird taste from the wok. Both the egg rolls and the fried rice had it, the curry was good but was disappointed in the rest of the food. read more

One of the best Thai restaurant in the entire DFW metroplex!!! Food has been consistent from years! This restaurant was called Chilli Thai and later changed Hot Spice Thai Cuisine. Very nice ambiance with light music playing in the background and super friendly staff! The moment you walk in, pleasantly greeted and seated immediately! And coming to the food and the flavors are phenomenal ! very clean & always fresh ingredients! HIGHLY RECOMMEND TRYING THIS PLACE! If you are a vegan, vegetarian or omnivorous this is one place you can eat comfortably!!! read more

Run, don't walk, to this amazing Thai restaurant. Apparently, it is the sister restaurant to Sakhuu Thai, which has several locations and is well-known, but for legal reasons they are not able to use that name in this location. Food is the same...excellent!!! I've tried a few different things here, and everything is delicious!! Wonderful staff and a cozy atmosphere! It would be a great date-night spot as well, since it's dimly lit with cute little lamps on each table. It's tucked away in a strip mall, so it's easy to miss. Please, please come to this location and keep it afloat! It's been under new ownership for the past few months, so don't judge based on reviews from more than 5 months ago. I've tried the pad Thai, Tom Kha soup, mango sticky rice, pad see ew, and today tried the massaman curry...all were with MEDIUM spice (perfectly spiced...not weak and not overpowering). Obviously no spice on the mango sticky rice ;) Everything is delicious here!! The quality of chicken is great (I'm very picky about that), it is white meat chicken...no gristle, etc. You've got to come here...it will be your new favorite Thai restaurant, like it is mine! read more

Writing a review because I sincerely wish they do well since there is new management! What we ordered: - Thai fried rice - Tom Kha - Massaman curry - Pad see ew Pros: - service! They're so attentive, owner/chef really tries his best to accommodate and really showed how appreciative he was for us stopping by during this cold front weather - ambiance - pretty chill and warm vibes. Food review: I am not going to compare it to LA Thai cuisine.... But here's an in depth of my experience: - Tom kha - wooowwza! Love how tangy it is compared to other Tom kha's I've had. Not super coconut-y, but love the tartness. Would have this again with chicken, tofu, or shrimp! - Thai fried rice - if you like your rice a bit mushy (easier to swallow), this is perfect! I personally like rice that is not super mushy, but the flavor of this actually was so good that I forgot if the rice was mushy or not while eating it. Order this with shrimp or tofu! - pad see ew - I felt like something was missing. But generous portions! I would opt for drunken noodle or pad thai next time. Get this with beef or shrimp. - massaman curry - mild is a bit spicy. Had more of that... stale peanut after taste that didn't taste like other massaman curries I've had. I think I would pass on this next time and opt for a green or yellow curry with chicken or tofu. Overall, pretty decent food for the first week of new management. Seriously, come try them and give them some love. These honest, hardworking people deserve it! read more

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite Thai spots in Valley Ranch! I feel like I stumbled upon a gem of some sorts. That's right I said "gem". So cliché but it truly fits what I am trying to convey! The ingredients are all so super fresh, food comes out steaming hot and portion sizes are perfect. I typically get the pad woon sen (no bean sprouts no tomatoes) and order it medium or mild with a side of the chili sauce. Phenomenal! Do yourself a favor and get the crab rolls as well they will rock your world. I always have food left over the next day so price wise this absolutely fits the bill. The ambience inside is nice if you want a quiet space to eat your meal solo or a laid back date. Service is always wonderful, very warm and kind people work here. So very good! Please stay around a while! read more

There is nothing to rave about the place but one thing is for sure; the food is really great. The Drunken Noodles is highly recommended by me. It was flavorful and the sauce had a nice hint of umami flavor. The portion size was also good for the price. Overall, small and homely place to eat some good Thai food! read more

We've been here twice for lunch in January, 2025 since new management has taken over. Have tried the pad thai, pad see ew and yellow curry. All were delicious. Large portions and a large amount of protein is included with each entree. Love the soup they serve at lunch. Lunch specials are a good value. Service was excellent. Plus, it a BYOB restaurant! Clean and beautiful space. Can't wait to return here. read more

Loved the food. Flavorful. Nice cozy ambience. Friendly staff. Fast service. One of the very few places that serve papaya salad. Would definitely come again. We ordered fried tofu, edamame, corn cakes, Panang curry, cashew nut with rice. Only issue the price is little high. $12 for a entrée. Though it was a big portion. read more

This place was horrible. I had Thai for the first time yesterday at The Noodle Wave. It was life changing. I thought this place would be great because of the reviews. I am shocked. They did refund me for the chicken but the entire meal lacked. The fried rice tasted like just white rice with egg. I won't return. read more

I ordered this to go with a couple of friends. I got the Pad See Ew and a Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. My friends got Corn Patties, Pad Thai, and Red Curry. The Pad See Ew was pretty good, and the mango sticky rice was simply delicious . I also tried half a corn patty and it was actually quite good! I didn't even know they were a thing before. I do wish the Pad See Ew was a little saltier, but my taste is pretty strong, so I won't dock any stars for that. Overall, this is a great spot for some solid Thai food! read more

Update: Still open for takeout as of 3/25/20. My fiancé and I were craving Thai food and headed to Chilli Thai after reading the great reviews! We came on a Friday night and got one of the last few parking spots as there are quite a few great eateries in the shopping center. Luckily, Chilli Thai was only about a third full so we were seated immediately. My fiancé ordered the Thai fried rice and I ordered the Panang Curry with fried tofu. You can either get soft tofu or fried/breaded tofu in your curry! I chose the fried tofu and loved how it absorbed the flavor of the curry. Both menu items were the perfect amount of food and we were very happy with our meal. I have also had the Ka Prow with munched chicken and it was delicious! They have both lunch and dinner portions and prices, so I'll have to come by and try that read more

OMG! Have I found my new favorite Thai dish? After shopping, shopping, shopping, Glenda finally said its time for food. Chilli is the closest Thai food restaurant. Seated quickly and ice tea headed our way. Glenda gets the usual chicken fried rice. Don't try something new. We must...remain...normal. I'm searching the menu for that dish I just HAVE to try! Chilli Thai Volcano. Whaaaat? Found it! Like no other Thai food I have had. So, you've had turkey and dressing. Imagine Thai flavored dressing. Take a bunch of seafood, throw in some veggies, and mix it all up in the dressing. Wrap it in aluminum foil and steam it till it's hot and moist. Delicious! I couldn't stop, no leftovers today! Trust me, the picture does not do it justice. I will have this again! And so should you! Service was quick and the price was right. We'll be back! read more
