This is a family run business and the food was good and fast. The service was very good as well. We will return.

Thinking of where to eat and attempting to try something different is always a wonder of things to do. This area doesn't afford a local eatery as most big cities thus a bit of driving is needed. Instead of dining at the local Thai restaurant in Corona, we decided to try something different and far away. Medium size restaurant with only 7 tables seating up to 4 people. Well lite interior and has the traditional and modernized Thai restaurant. You can definitely feel the family-oriented style of this restaurant. Plenty of parking in the local shopping center. It is right next to Stater Bros. It's our first time here at this restaurant to which we've been here so many times in Lake Elsinore and not realized a Thai restaurant was here the whole time. It's awesome and wonderful how just wondering around is good thing. As with any new place, we will try the locals favorites such as the Papaya Salad, Larb Chicken Salad, Beef Steak and Thai sauce, and Pad-saw-Eww chicken noodles. Being Cambodian, this is almost pretty similar to our local dishes. Thai food tends to be on the spicier side and if you tell them you want the "SomTam" version of the Papaya Salad, they'll know that you actually want the traditional Thai style salad. Dishes came out pretty quick within 15 minutes. No bad because we were the only guest for a bit. We dined and enjoyed the meal very well. All the dishes were very exceptional and delightful. Especially the beef steak. Cooked to your preference but definitely enjoyable and delicious. The papaya salad is not as spicy as I thought it would be for a medium spice. A little bit on the sour side a little bit but was still enjoyable. Spices are a little different and the flavors are not all there but definitely enjoyable. Maybe an OKAY for western standards, but maybe a letdown for authentic Thai that were used to. Still, I'm recommending this place to anyone wanting to try Thai Food that are local to here. read more

I've been waiting for a place like this in Lake Elsinore. It's been way too long since we've had a thai food restaurant that served all the thai dishes you're used to and in the way that I'm used to. For the longest, there was only one thai restaurant. I enjoyed it, but they didn't serve pad woon sen and I didn't really enjoy their pad thai. Then, we had the one that opened up off Grand and Corydon- which I've still yet to try. This one, is closest to me and just covers all the bases. It's extremely well-priced. They have a full menu, I mean, nothing is missing. The service is great. The food is craveable - everything is well done. They share parking with the other stores in the plaza, so it's plentiful. There is a pretty good sized dining area, but I've never dined in - one of these days. I was lucky enough to meet the head chef, who is also the owner, on my last visit. Let's just say, I greatly appreciated her taking the time to come out and speak to me and educated me on some of my go-to dishes as well as how she walked me through how and where they source their ingredients. I gained more respect for this new establishment and it solidified this place as my fav thai spot in the area. read more

Finally tried for takeout and I'm glad I did. I'm a Tom Yum seafood soup fan and was very pleased with my takeout order. Staff was friendly and very helpful, soup was fantastic. All the flavors I expected, great heat level and a generous serving of seafood. Will certainly be back. read more

Spices Thai Restaurant - Tom Yum seafood soup and rice noodles. - Seafood Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

This Thai flavor leans toward Asian taste buds vs. an Americanized fusion. Spices will challenge your taste buds with mix of sauce/spices. It won't compare to original Thai food due to getting ingredients (better coconut juice) including import prices that makes it harder to replicate from the original country. Red curry was spiced correctly with mix of shredded bamboo, pieces of bell peppers, shallots, lime leaves with beef and includes side of rice. There's not much meat more veggies. It was on the watery side so lack coconut thickness flavor but still delicious. I order mild but it's spicy if not eating similar spice food. Haven't tried it yet, but if you like it more coconut side, mention it be cooked toward that thickness than a watery side. This is a lunch item with chicken at smaller size, so try it then since it comes with side salad and fried rice or steam rice. The portion is like small pho soup size bowl. Pork Namtok is thinly slice meat drench in a vinaigrette dressing over ice berg lettuce with shallots and crushed peanut. It was OK, a different type of salad. It could have used more salad. Portions are smaller than other nearby Thai restaurant but the Asian Thai spice flavor is better than the other. Mango in the sticky rice was wonderful. The mango was in season and sweet. Rice was sweet and soft. Coconut sauce wasn't as sweet I didn't taste much of it, most of flavor or sweetness came from the mango. Service is excellent. Friendly family owned restaurant with Grandma/Grandfather cooking in the back. It like a home cook meal, so worth a try. AC with fan so a great place to escape the heat while dining in the area. It's next door to slater brothers so eat before grocery shopping. read more

The hubby and I decided to try the new Thai restaurant in our neighborhood, known as Spices Thai restaurant. I ordered the chicken with cashew nuts and it was very good. My hubby ordered the drunken noodles which he said was awesome! I agree! It has lots of flavor. We also order two Thai iced teas without Boba. I have to say the Thai tea was good, but it had a cinnamon taste to it which I was not used to. I would recommend you trying Spices Thai restaurant if you haven't already tried it. read more

I've been hearing a lot of positive things about this place so my wife and I were excited to give it a try. We ordered the beef salad, Thai omelette and egg rolls. It was pretty good. I'm used to the omelettes being more fluffy. The beef salad was good. More of a citrus flavor than the hint of fish sauce flavor that most other places seem to use. The egg rolls were good. Our server was really nice. And the atmosphere was ok. Overall a decent experience. I would rank it above Palm Thai but just below that Thai place on Corydon. read more

My father and myself have had tons of thai food through our years, my father has been to thailand himself. This is not good thai food. The "curry" is undesirable to say the least, more of a soup would be a apt description. While I am quite the proponent of smaller serving sizes, that often comes with comparable taste, which was lacking. I am aware this is quite the new establishment, thus i leave this review, while harsh, hopeful for change, as the harsher the review, the more evident change is needed. read more

Their mango sticky rice is delicious. The family is always so welcoming. I haven't tried the food but it looks delicious.

Good customer service and a warm welcome. Place smelled clean and was pretty quiet. Ordered the grilled chicken lunch bowl and was very disappointed. Portion is very small and they forgot to include my wontons. Double thumbs down. Skip this item if you're hungry. Note there's an undisclosed 3% credit card surcharge , so pay cash if you have a large party. I was left with little desire to return. read more

The flavors were just not there. I asked if the chicken Larb was sweet and they said no, first spoonful was sweet!

This is my third time here and each time I tried a different dish. I don't have much experience with authentic Thai food, but I would definitely say it feels like it's more traditional than the other local Thai place. I love both places, but this place definitely sparks my tastes buds in a whole new way! I literally crave it weekly. The prices are great. I appreciate having new restaurants in the area and love supporting local, if you do to, I highly recommend giving it a try. So far my fiancé and I have tried: spicy basil fried rice, sweet and sour (w chicken) , pad see ew, teriyaki chicken, and egg rolls. I can't wait to try something new my next time here. read more

Walked into the place and it was empty. Ordered some hot green tea but they accidentally brought me Jasmine tea. No worries we swapped it and they were super nice about it. The waitress was really nice and helpful in recommending items. I will say the spicy basil fried rice was great and the flavor was amazing. The flavor of the pad see ew was also pretty good but the texture of the seafood was terrible. Some of the worst seafood ive had. It had an unpleasant odor and a super overcooked texture that grossed me out. Some shrimp were peeled and some were not. The seafood also came with a piece of crab but it was inedible as the meat inside was overcooked and mushy. My mom didn't like her pad thai unfortunately. The noodles were clumped up like they had been sitting for a while. Overall the service was ok and the flavor was there but I think there is some room for improvement. Definitely do not get the seafood here. read more

Very nice staff and family owned. Food was very good. Didnt plan on leaving a review so I didn't take pictures. Crab fried rice and #51 king something was my favorite, the larb and mango sticky rice was good too. Their seafood was very fresh and good. I hope they get more business because they are new not sure if people know about this place. Hope they stay. Prices are pretty reasonable roughly 12-15 for most dishes. Lots of options. We will be back. read more
