    Spring rolls
    Bcb B.

    We just moved from Houston and we're trying to find a good restaurant that sells spring rolls and pho. This place is it. The spring rolls are super sized, meat is flavorful and they set the stage for the tasty Pho. We also had the dumplings and a couple of egg rolls. Everything was top notch. It's a small dining experience but seats well and the focus is definitely on service and flavor. Can't wait to try more options. It's decorated like a quaint little diner and had 80s music playing when we were there. Great job Chef!

    Quality of the food was excellent. The portions are large. The service is friendly and fast. If you want a "nicer" dining experience this is not the place. But if you want delicious, hot, and savory food in a comfortable, inviting, and cozy, setting then this is it.

    This is the steak sandwich that was super tender & meat was marinated so good.

    This is the 2nd time I've come here & this place is right on! The food is consistent & delicious every time. The service is helpful & fast. I love this place because it's super authentic. Although it's small, it is always busy, which I'm so glad for because that means they'll be here forever. I also like the fact that they have tvs all around of different cooking shows of Asian foods, I love watching that while I wait for my food. It just makes me hungrier.

    Amazing amazing ..... definitely a spot to visit when in town.

    Amazing ... glad they were out of dumplings so I could try something different. A must visit when in town.

    Thai Chilli Basil

    Food here was okay. Appetizers were the best part, we got spicy garlic edamame and fresh spring rolls. For the main entree got the Thai chicken basil. Chicken was rubbery and portions were big. Flavor was okay, but felt missing some key spices to help enhance the flavor. I would recommend condensing menu down, can be overwhelming. Service was okay, felt rushed to order leading to not being able to enjoy the meal.

    They served crab Rangoon without crab. Plus didn't have pork fried rice. The soup was served with very little chips.

The Tom Yum soup was listed at $19.95, then shrimp was an additional $8.00, and mussels were another $10.95. In the end, a single bowl of soup that could only reasonably serve two people cost nearly $40. For a family of four ( 2 adults and 2 lil kinds) that pricing felt excessive and very frustrating. Another issue was the automatic gratuity. In most restaurants, gratuity is typically added only for larger parties, often five or more guests. At Thai Spice, gratuity was included regardless of party size. Whether you dine alone or with two, three, or four people, the gratuity is automatically added to the bill. Overall, I believe the owner should reconsider the pricing structure and gratuity policy. Charging separately for the soup base and toppings in this way does not feel fair to customers, and the automatic gratuity for all party sizes is disappointing. That's why I don't see anyone in the restaurant for weekend night because they are rip-off.

The staff and owners were incredibly welcoming--super friendly, attentive, and genuinely pleasant. The food was great and very spicy, so if you're sensitive to heat, make sure to let them know. I didn't mention a spice level, and my Pad Thai came out pretty fiery--but still delicious and full of flavor. Portions are generous, and while the prices run a little higher, you definitely get your money's worth. Overall, a solid choice for Thai food in Corpus Christi. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.

I can't say enough about this family owned restaurants and one of our absolute favorite places in Texas not just Corpus Christi. The food is SO delicious. At this point I think we've eaten almost everything on their menu. Some of my favorites all of it: fried rice, curry (green, panang), tofu in every dish is to live for...! It's a "hole in the wall" set-up, with just enough seats during busy times (which is pretty much all the time). The girls (servers and hostesses) and Tristan are always very warm. The owners son also works in the restaurant sometimes and him and my hubby talk futbol. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Seriously go try it today, like right now. We genuinely love this place and bring everyone there who visits and they usually love it as much as we do! I'll add pictures soon.

On the occasions I've gone in, the restaurant has always appeared clean and well kept. Customer service can be a little hit or miss, which matches what some other reviewers have mentioned. I've had visits where the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and others where I was simply stared at while waiting to order without so much as a greeting. It hasn't been bad enough to keep me away, but it's noticeable. The food is why I keep coming back. The bánh mì sandwiches are excellent, especially the short rib version. My wife is obsessed with the green onion pancake, and I wish I knew the recipe for the dipping sauce they serve with it. The pork belly steamed buns are absolutely worth ordering, and the crispy pork belly rice is still my favorite dish on the menu. The rich pork belly, fried rice, fresh salad, and vinaigrette all work really well together. If you haven't been, it's worth a visit. Try a few different dishes and you'll probably find a favorite of your own.
