incredible service with amazing food, everything we ordered here was top quality and we couldn't be happier!! the restaurant is quite spacious and well-kept, so we were very comfortable while eating we recommend the mango sticky rice (!!!), garlic pepper shrimp, fried tofu, pad see ew, and tom yum soup!! all of these were so well made and absolutely delicious :) if you're a coffee person who likes a strong taste, i also recommend the thai ice coffee as well the workers were also incredibly kind and so fast to bring our food !! me and my family were so happy with the service here if you're in the area looking for good thai food, THIS IS YOUR SPOT!! highly recommend :) read more

Came into town to treat my family to some thai food after a nice day at Joshua tree. My brother in law asked where the restroom was and the lady ignored him. He thought maybe she didn't hear him so he politely asked again to which she responded "GET THE KEY FROM ME" in a very rude manner. We didn't even get to sit down before deciding to walk out. I would not recommend this place if you are looking to have a nice meal with your family. read more

The restaurant is very clean and well organized. The staff are very nice and friendly. We like their fried rice and fish cake. They are freshly made and flavorful. The noodle soup is also good. The meat was tender and the broth was delicious. We will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu :) read more

Food was delicious. We got pad thai, pad see ew, cream cheese ran-goons, and mango sticky rice. Had to take it to go because we got there too close before closing time, but service was still great. Amazing portions (you get your moneys worth). Plenty of leftovers for the next day and they still tasted good. Great comfort meal for our stay in JT, would visit again! read more

Located near Joshua tree national park. Pad see Ee pork, very bland. We have to add soy sauce to bring out the flavor. Pineapple fried rice, it's awesome. Price is right and portion is huge. read more

We ordered 2 appetizers and 3 main courses. We each ate maybe 3 bites because we were hungry but the food was so damn unappetizing. I don't even mean like it didn't taste so good. I mean, the chicken was raw in the middle, the shrimp wasn't cooked. None of the food was even safe to eat. The biggest waste of money. read more

Had a pretty terrible eating experience here. Not going to try hard on details, much like the restaurant didn't try with cooking us a great meal. Despite all the fanfare, this place is not great...poor seating, bad (out of it) servers, and poor quality food (curry was cold and uncooked). Skip it until they rectify their problems. read more

Love this place. The soups are super fresh, the fresh rolls are huge and, well - fresh too. There were 4 of us for dinner and everyone had something different, and everyone loved their dishes. Ann (pronounced On) was a delight as our server. read more

Great place, amazing employees, very tasty for people whether they like spicy or mild cuisine. Very relaxing place. Not a crazy amount of beverage options but the food and service 100% made up for it. Will be visiting again. read more

Thai Cafe - N1. Pad Thai with chicken - Thai Near Me - Twentynine Palms, California

First things first, I placed an order at 4:15 for a 5pm pickup. I got there a little early at 4:40 and checked in with the lady working the register. I had no problem waiting because I got there early. That was until my food didn't come out until 5:40. I waited an entire hour in the restaurant for my phone order!!! Knocked it down a star because of this. The inside of the restaurant is pretty big and has a lot of dining area space which you wouldn't expect from the outside. We got the pad Thai, Mongolian beef, and chicken panang, all of which was really really good. I loved all of the flavours and really enjoyed the meal. The pad Thai was amazing and had a bit of a crunch from the peanuts. Dipped in the panang curry was to die for!! The panang curry was delicious and everything was still warm when we got back to our air b n b. I loved the veggies that came with the beef too!! Overall I would say that this is a solid Thai spot. If you are craving some Thai food in the Joshua tree area I recommend giving it a try! I wouldn't say that it's the most amazing I've ever had but it pretty much tastes like every other Thai place I've been too. No food pics I was hungry from waiting for an hour for my food. read more

So good! Much better with a new chef/manager! Last time was very bland and small portions. This time very flavorful and huge portions!

Their Tom Kha soup is AMAZING! Ive ordered takeout from this place about 4 times and they always have great flavors along with good portions for the price, I always have leftovers. They always get the order right too. Awesome place definitely a favorite if I'll ever come out this way again. read more

This was at best, the most mediocre Thai food I've had. Like many people who come here, I was visiting Joshua Tree and looking for a place to eat dinner. I hadn't had Thai food in a while which is why I picked this place. It took a while for the server to take down our orders for food, even though the restaurant wasn't that busy (but it did get busier after we left). I got the Tom Yum noodle soup because it was cold outside and I wanted something to warn me up. The vegetables (carrots, peas) were without a doubt either frozen vegetables or canned vegetables. I could tell from the texture that they were not fresh. That part kinda ruined the entire dish for me, but I still finished it because I was hungry from a long day of hiking. The noodles and fish balls were alright, and the rest was just nothing special. The curry that my boyfriend ordered also didn't really stand out. The consistency was pretty watered down. And, it also had the same vegetables that was in the noodle soup - either canned or frozen. For that reason, I don't think I'd return to this business if I am in the area again. There are plenty of other restaurants near Joshua Tree that I think would be worth checking out over this one. read more

Thai Cafe - Tom yum noodle soup (front) and yellow curry (back) - Thai Near Me - Twentynine Palms, California

Absolutely horrible first experience here today! Not only was the food nasty and cold the service was EVEN WORSE. We were the first table to walk in, followed by an Asian group of about 8. They were seated first, given menus first, order taken first, and started getting food before we even got our drinks! It was almost like she didn't want us to eat there. The food wasn't even hot when it came out & by the time I got my food the table of 8 that came in after us was already getting ready to pay their tab to leave. As a local, not only will I never spend my money here again but I will also tell others not too. There must've been a reason I had never been in the last several years and today just solidified that. Spent over $30 on the worst quality beef broccoli I've ever had lol. Mango sticky rice was mid. read more

This is a great spot! We spent the day in the National Park and came here for a well deserved meal. We got several items, the Spicy Noodle (Drunken Noodle) was very tasty and large portions. Curry is also great. Friendly and fast service. Definitely recommend read more

The food here was AMAZING! Just the right amount of heat with the spice and a generous portion amount. The service was quick and attentive. Would definitely come back and eat here again! read more

Pretty decent Thai food when we were visiting the national parks. Pleasantly surprised. I had the "spicy noodle" AKA pad kee mao. We also had the pad Thai, pad see ew and the pineapple curry. Super flavorful, with great balance in terms of flavor. My only critique was that the rice noodles for both the pad see ew and keep mao were a bit soft/mushy. The staff was friendly and attentive. Nice quiet place to have a meal. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area and in the mood for Thai! read more

Don't get the duck curry....just...don't. The service is mediocre, the food is nothing to write home about....took forever to prepare. read more

We gathered at this restaurant with a large group of friends for Christmas dinner. What a mistake. I spent time on the phone when I made the reservation explaining that we would be a large group. I called twice to let them know in fact. My husband and I arrived fifteen minutes prior to our reservation so we could prepare the staff and move tables if necessary. It was all to no avail. From the moment we walked in we were treated with pure disdain--especially from the hostess, who was dressed in goth attire and had her face painted like a cat. I guess we should have gotten the hint and left right then, but instead we sat down and waited for our friends... To make a VERY long story short, we waited two and a half hours for our food, which came out one dish at a time with half an hour to forty-five minutes between dishes being served. During that time my husband went to the front twice with the water pitcher and asked the hostess to please fill it. Twice, she flatly refused. That cannot be anything but mean-spirited sociopathic behavior. Unfortunately I had time to visit the restroom, which was just as disgusting as the reviewer above describes. I think we should have left. As I write this I am hoping hard that we don't all get sick. The food was greasy and lukewarm. Here is what might be the worst part. Many MANY other groups of diners came and went, along with a steady stream of people picking up takeout. We sat and waited while the tables around us turned over more than once. I cannot help but think this was deliberate. Maybe we were not their kind of people. I'll just leave it at that. Thai Café in Twentynine Palms California is a no-go zone and I would recommend steering well clear of the place. IMPORTANT NOTE: THE THAI RESTAURANT ROYAL SIAM AND THE THAI CAFE IN YUCCA VALLEY ARE OWNED BY THE SAME PEOPLE. read more

A waitress insisted I ordered a yellow curry when I said I ordered a duck curry and she proceeds to argue with me and tell me she was right even though last time I checked, the customers are the ones ordering food, but go figure. Food was fine service was abysmal. Completely ruined my appetite. Never coming back again. read more

I tried "N2 Pad See Ew" for the first time! And I wanna say that these are THE BEST NOODLES! I think I AM OBSESSED with these noodles now! I've NEVER tried anything like that! THE MOST DELICIOUS NOODLES IN MY LIFE! I got one dish and after I came back and grabbed another one. I will ABSOLUTELY COME BACK AGAIN! This is the best noodles place in the WORLD!!!!!! read more

My experience via ordering online on Google- takeout only! I confess I was hesitant to order here given the mixed Google reviews, but I'm so glad I did! I ordered pad Thai that was ready quicker than the estimated 30 min and was done in 15 min! I picked it up seamlessly-- order of Pad Thai+Thai iced tea. Quality was superb! The Thai iced tea was so tasty and the Pad Thai was still hot and fresh when I picked it up. Would definitely order out again the next time I visit Joshua Tree! read more

First and foremost, great food!! The atmosphere is fairly casual, so probably not a date night sort of thing, but if you've just spent the day in Joshua Tree this is the perfect dinner. Service was average, but the food made up for it. read more

It just ok Thai restaurant. During our visit, they have not allow sit down visit due to Covid. So we got the Togo order. Due to high volume of orders, the wait for the order is 30 minutes. We got basil chicken. This dish has a lot onion. Not much of veggies. The chicken also as little as no much. Taste is is there. The second dish is the spicy noodles. We have this dish call drunken noodles in Tampa. The order want this dish Thai hot. It is good sweaty hot. This noodle comes with choice of protein. We got the pork. Overall food is good but protein is less. Wait is long. read more

It was our first night in Joshua tree and we were craving Thai food. Decided to give Thai cafe a try. We ended up doing delivery since the kids were too tired to go out for dinner. The crab fried rice, pad Thai, green and yellow curries were delicious. The deep fried salted pork, satay and broccoli & pork were just okay. The kids loved the deep fried spring rolls, wontons and dumplings. The Tom Yan Kun soup was also pretty good. Overall it was a good and tasty experience and it hit our Thai food cravings. We were so hungry I didn't get a chance to take proper pictures but here are a few below. read more

This place was a random stop after our hike at Joshua Tree and it was sooo yummy! Very authentic green curry and the pad see yew and fried rice weren't over seasoned or too salty at all. Thai chilis and seasoning came out with the dishes. Free rice came with the curry. I got the Thai tea with no ice because I have a huge sweet tooth and yes it is very sweet. Each dish is $12.95. read more

One of the best Thai places I've been to! (And I've been to countless) We ordered: 1. Som Tam (papaya salad)- sauce was PERFECTLY acidic, sweet, sour, and spicy. Fun textures in the salad! 2. Pork fried rice- rice absorbed so much flavor and the portion was huge! 3. Curry with fish filet- fish was very tender and the curry had just the right amount of basil to enhance the flavors. 4. Shrimp pad thai- all the ingredients were mixed in impeccably and the sauce was very authentic!!!!!! Service is also very good. The lady was so sweet! The wait time was definitely worth!! read more

Last day at Joshua Tree and wanted lunch before leaving town. Thai Cafe came up as close by and had an excellent rating. So there I was in a lovey little restaurant next to a tattoo parlor with a courteous server bringing me a menu. The selections all looked quite standard and I was in the mood for my old standby Pad Thai. I ordered that and waited just under 10 minutes when a beautiful plate of food arrived. I noticed right away the shredded carrots on the side along with crushed peanuts, also on the side. I was impressed by the presentation and then wowed by the wonderful flavors. The more I dug in the more I enjoyed my meal. It was a nice serving size, I couldn't finish it but wanted to! Well, now I wish I discovered this place sooner! Grab a quick dinner there and I am sure you will enjoy! read more

We were interested in trying this place out. Wish we hadn't. The decor was as expected, nothing of note, but passible. Our meal. on the other hand, was nothing short of a disaster. Not to go into the after effect details of when we got home, but needless to say, vomiting was an option we both took. We won't be back. read more

Terrible, as someone who lives in Irvine this Thai food is below subpar. Lacking flavor, extremely greasy, and we walked in at 7:30 and they would not let us eat inside, even though they didn't close til 8:30. Terrible service. If your in Joshua Tree, do not even bother. read more

Awful experience, I've tried it twice and both time were awful. Not only thst their hours are never the same.

After visiting Joshua tree we searched for asian food in the nearby small towns. Decided to go with Thai. The restaurant was pretty authentic, ordered beef pad see each and eggplant noodles - overall it was good! Did a level 3 spicey level (out of 4) and it wasn't overly spicy. Positives: 1) Friendly service, quick food, delicious food. 2) Price Improvement opportunities: 1) The place was takeout only due to covid but it was dark and dreary on the inside. It could be more welcoming inside and outside. read more

Delicious food especially because I did not expect the food to be so delicious. Food is decently priced but because it's delicious I will go back. The pad Thai with pork was amazing. The sweet rice with mango was also delicious. I ordered the pineapple fried rice, but they forgot about it but the cream cheese wontons, and the dumplings were all delicious. My kids and I enjoyed eating the food from here. Not many options out here but this one is worth a try. read more

No service at all, the server is also rude. The food does not worth the money. Will never come again or recommend it to anyone.

Amazing ! Every single tine. Every bite. No matter what I order. I LOVE IT! Everyone there is always lovely, polite, efficient . My fav soups Tom Yum n Tom Kai are fantastic. I cannot resist the eggplant. Every bite is terrific. read more

Very disappointed in this place. We order Curry and we were told by the server that medium was not that hot. When we got it and had only one spoon full, our mouth was burning. I am saying so hot our mouths were burning and we lost out sence of taste. We sent it back, which they made a mild curry, but the meal was not at all enjoyable My husband ordered hot tea and it came in a metal cup. Who puts hot tea in a metal cup? Even after 45 minutes thehot tea caused my husbands lips to blister and that was only for 1 small sip. Pad thai was good. read more

After a day of camping I was starving and wanted some real food after eating canned soup the night before so I came here and am so glad I did! I had the red curry, spicy level heat and it was so good and exactly what I was looking for. I also ordered steamed broccoli for my dog and it was the perfect amount of steamed, not too mushy and still a little crunchy, she loved it. Plus the person at the front was so friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant looked clean. I go camping often so now this will be my new go to when I'm out there. read more
