    Absolutely terrible. I have no idea how this place is rated as a fan favorite. The Pad Kee Maow was the only thing remotely edible -- everything else was a disaster. * Spring Rolls: Frozen, tasteless, and soggy. * Pad See Ew: Had a foul, almost rotten flavor. Requested hot but it was barely spicy at all. * Pad Thai: A mushy, sticky mess -- noodles were overcooked beyond saving. * Basil Fried Rice: Completely flavorless and dry. If this is what they call "Thai food," it's an insult to the cuisine. Easily one of the worst meals I've had in years. Save your money and go literally anywhere else.

    Yellow curry with chicken

    My husband and I ordered yellow curry, the flavor was there. However, the texture of the chicken was just off. I'm assuming it's the chicken rib meat as opposed to the chicken breast.

    Spice Thai Cafe is a great option and we love that they offer their own delivery and are super quick if you want to pick up yourself! Their Pad See Ew and Pad Thai are flavored just right and not greasy. Their yellow and green curry are wonderfully flavored and offer a decent portion too. When adding meat to any entree it's hit or miss on the portion size. Sometimes we get a plentiful amount of chicken and other times it's sparse, but the flavor, cost and quickness keep us coming back time and time again.

    Ordered via Uber eats and everything came packaged well & still warm even though I am located a town away. The good: Pad se Ew was very fresh & delicious. The Chicken Thai kids meal was more than enough for an adult & was delicious. The fried rice was very light & delicious. The dipping sauces were good. The bad: The pork dumplings were overcooked. Fried so hard that they turned into rocks. Inedible. The fried spring rolls had very little filling. It was just an empty fried wrapper. The weird: The Basil chicken's meat was not like any chicken I have ever eaten. Not certain it was chicken. Did not eat beyond a bite so no review of the taste. Unfortunately, would not recommend. Wished I could but there were more bad & weird items than good.

    Dine in only, it has seating and tables, but they are closed from customers with a sign, so for ambiance, they have nothing that resembles a that restaurant. No service experience, other than a lady taking our to go order Food was cooked in less than the 10 minutes they promised. The food is your average Thai, at moderate prices. The Thai Iced coffee was nice. The Thai yellow curry had a ratio of 50% potatoes/25% beef/25% peppers/onion/carrots. The cyrry was hot and it came with a small portion of steaming rice.

    Carry out order of chicken fried rice and spring rolls. Spring rolls were a bit doughy and fresh but dripping oil. Probably not order again. Chicken fried rice is tasty and properly done. Cilantro on top. Good tomato wedges grilled. Chicken is white meat and done well. Seasoned nicely and not too much of any one ingredient. Would get again. Will return and get tofu something.

    Authentic thai food. Now togo order only. Should try for mom's secret menu. I always order pad kraprow and tom sab those are so good.

    Authentic and delicious thai foods in Allen Texas. I love food in Thai menu. Strong flavors!

    This is all the fried rice you get w a to-go red curry order
    Camille B.

    My score is more of a 3.5- ordered red curry- chicken, medium spice served with fried rice. I also had the side order of fresh rolls with chx. I think the red curry flavor was really good and spice was perfect *but* I've never had baby corn and green beans in my red curry!? Bleh. Baby corn screams Chinese to me.. As much as I eat thai food...these ingredients just seemed off- I mean even if they put more red or green pepper, fine. But, all that baby corn and green beans really could've been extra chicken. My only other gripe is that my order was via DoorDash delivery and idk if they purposely give you less rice when you order to go, but I literally have a half tub of red curry for tomorrow and barely any rice to go with it? The spring rolls w chicken was really fresh...def would order that again..

    You know what, Spice Thai is ok. Honestly I was really sad that our dishes weren't what we expected from our experiences at other Thai restaurants. I will say that they have amazing customer service though, and their set up through COVID was a good experience. I went in to pick up my to-go order that we called in ahead of time for. I paid and the sweet girl up front told me to wait in my car and someone would bring it out to me because my order wasn't ready yet. They were running behind on orders, which I get it, it happens. But I waited an extra 15 mins on top of the 20 mins we were originally told. I feel sad to only give them 3 stars, but the pad thai was sweet, which I've never had pad thai be sweet before. I LOVE pad see ew but again, it feel short because it was sweet and I've never had sweet pad see ew before. They had a special to get a free order of veggie spring rolls which we qualified for and they were really good that I'd get them again if I was I just craving some spring rolls. My husband actually had nothing but good things to say about his pad woon sen. He was afraid it would be sweet like the rest of our food was, but he lucked out there lol. Overall, I am grateful for a good experience as far as the service goes. Will we be back....probably not. There are a TON of thai restaurants in the area and we were bummed to not be a fan of this one entirely.

    N4 (Pad Kee Maow) - a crowd favorite!
    Crystal T.

    We called to order and got curbside pickup within 15 minutes. Everything went very smoothly and it felt quite safe. We ordered pineapple fried rice (medium), pad kee maow / drunken noodles (medium), and pepper garlic shrimp (mild). They were generous with giving extra spring rolls, which were delightfully crispy on the outside and were devoured within minutes. The pineapple fried rice and pad kee maow were competitively priced as part of the lunch special, and the portions were decent. The pad kee maow was the crowd favorite, with supple, addictive noodles. The pineapple fried rice was delicious and had just the right amount of oil and sweetness. The medium spice level was great for us relatively spice-intolerant individuals. However, the protein in general was not to the same standard. The pepper garlic shrimp dish could be improved. While the shrimp was tender, there were only 6 medium-sized pieces. The dish mostly consisted of sauce and veggies alongside plain white rice, and it was the most expensive dish. The chicken in the pineapple fried rice and the pork in the drunken noodles were dry, although flavorful. Overall, we would come here again for the bargain prices, robust flavors, and kind service. However, we won't be expecting too much from the meat.

The biggest issue for us was the ordering system. Everyone has to scan a QR code, place their own order, and enter their phone number. For a large group, this became very confusing because when the food came out, there was no clear way to tell who ordered what. We spent a lot of time trying to figure out which dishes belonged to each person. If you're coming with a big party, I definitely recommend making a list of everyone's orders ahead of time so it's easier to organize when the food arrives. The food itself was extremely spicy. Most of the BBQ items -- seafood, chicken, beef, and pork -- seemed to have the same heavy cumin and spicy seasoning, so the flavors started tasting very similar. Personally, that wasn't for us. However, the soy sauce fried rice and the cold noodles were really good and stood out the most from the meal. The service was good overall, although communication was a little difficult at times because it was hard to understand the staff's accents. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept. I think this place may work much better for smaller groups, but for our large party it was stressful and the food flavors were too repetitive for our taste. Unfortunately, it's probably not somewhere we would return to. Also they added 25% tip mandatory without mentioning it anywhere ; It was an experience though

    A spicy chinese noodle shop that far exceeded my expectations…read more Jin was an exceptionally attentive employee who would often check up on us and top off our waters. Excellent service despite having no reason to, since we ordered through a qr code located on the tables. I don't write about customer service unless it was genuinely something that was worth telling people. He gave us a good rundown of the situation of the restaurant and provided an in-depth explanation of the menu for my first time there. He gave us plenty of options to choose from and explained what consisted in each of the dishes. Which helped us ultimately make our choices and I enjoyed every single dish. The interior was well decorated with modern/futuristic reflective aesthetics. A great touch that made me love it even more was the dimming bags put over the spotlights adorned around the ceiling to help cut down on glare and make it a bit more comfortable to enjoy the atmosphere. The mixed vegetable salad was a very pleasant blend of sweet, savory, and Sichuan spice. I originally was going for the cucumber but I was interested in more variety and opted to try more of what they had to offer. It still hit as a refreshing appetizer to complement our other dishes. 9/10 The black pepper noodles were actually amazing with how it balanced out a lot of strong, potentially overwhelming flavors. The black pepper was perfectly seasoning the fiery stir fried bell pepper and noodles. The beef played a great supporting role to elevate the dish without making it all about itself. 8.5/10 The Number 1 rice noodles in soup was powerful without being indulgent. The flavors hit hot and hard but still savory and tastefully diverse. Jin recommended it as the noodles have a very pleasant chew and had a diverse plating with bok choy, pickled mustard, and an egg to top it off. 8.5/10 Overall I enjoyed this place completely and will 100% return when I come back to Texas.

I got mild spice level and it was spicier than medium at many other spots so be careful when ordering. The soup comes with a hearty layer of chili oil floating on top.

The beef is a flavorful cut with veins of tendon running through it and cooked until super tender. The plentiful noodles were cooked al dente to provide a nice chewiness. The broth was so spicy for me that I couldn't judge the depth of flavor on it. 4-stars. The soup dumplings had a nice tender wrapping and a fair amount of soup inside, but I thought there were a bit too heavily seasoned with soy sauce. They didn't come with any shredded ginger either. 3.5-stars. The soup dumplings at Jeng Chi are much better IMO. You order via a website which is annoying confusing when you have a large group with many items. The soups came out very quickly after ordering. Everything else from plastic spoon, chopsticks, and water is self serve but we still tipped 20% to be nice. After 4pm, they have a special two noodle bowls for $20.
