    Spicy Garlic Combination

    Beautiful Presentation, light spicy - I ordered beef & shrimp in spicy garlic sauce with peas, broccoli It was fresh, scrumptious. Their green tea Was tasty, but not soapy. I can't say the last time I had Chinese or Thai food which tasted so Authentic-can't wait to go back really soon! The restaurant was clean & decorated plain but Tasteful, service was good too 10/10

    Went to Thai Chili 88 and was NOT disappointed. Started the meal with shumai. You can get it steamed or crispy. We got it steamed and it was delightful. Apparently they make it here onsite and you can tell it's fresh and yummy. We got the pan fried potstickers as well. Crispy and also not run of the mill. It tasted fresh and the sauce was garlicky and good. General Tso was crispy and the sauce was fresh! One of the best I've tried in this part of South Jersey. Sesame Chicken was crispy and fresh and the sauce was bomb. Sticky and sweet and yummy. The fried rice was shaped beautifully and tasted freshly made. I also got a Thai iced tea. Sweet like all of the others I've tried and very flavorful. Service was excellent and attentive and came back multiple times to check up. Super nice. Inside is super nice and clean! Ambiance is quiet and relaxing. Nicely decorated. Definitely will go back and is one of the better Thai/Asian places in SoJo!

    Was around the corner in the shopping plaza nearby and decided to stop in for some crab Rangoon. They were some of the best I've ever had! The taste was good but the real star is the shape. Unlike the usual wonton shape, these crab rangoon were triangles and therefore, filled even more. The service was pleasant and efficient. Thai chili 88, very underrated place! Will definitely come back and dine in.

    I like the restaurant--a lot. The food is fresh and the restaurant is comfortable, maybe a slight bit chilly this January, and dimly lit. I stopped here before a trip to Thailand in October 2018, so I could compare their dishes to the "authentic" Thai food. This review is for 01/01/2019 on my next visit. Firstly, the restaurant is Asian, Thai, and Thai Fusion. I've remarked in the past that "fusion" is really an anything-goes kind of thing. Secondly, very few items on the menu were actually on the menus in Bangkok or the many areas we stayed in Phuket, Thailand. A particular item I was looking for here was not on the restaurant menu--(pineapple fried rice) that was on nearly every menu in Thailand. But we live in America and what's up with the authenticity mandate? Is it not more important to actually be GOOD food? This restaurant hits the mark for the "good food" mandate. My partner ordered Chicken Pad Thai--the same thing he ordered throughout Thailand. The noodles were done to perfection and the flavors were delicately delicious--that perfect blend of many spices that formulate an indescribably delightful taste. The chicken was as served in America in Chinese food, which was a difference from the small chicken pieces in the dishes in Thailand. I had Pineapple Curry Tofu. The curry was lightly sweet and had a light hint of pineapple flavor--fresh pineapple. Pineapple chunks were sweet and perfect tenderness. The tofu was initially crispy, but of course less so after on the table a few minutes. This is just how tofu in curry is. But the taste was unadulterated even the next day in leftovers. I ordered mine with fried rice--and it was the best friend rice I've ever had. Not a hint of oil or greasiness to it. My curry was lightly spicy, a vast difference from some of my Thailand meals, which were fire-engine hot if I forgot to tell them "mai pet." Now the authenticity part: I do not see a comparison to the Thai dishes I had while traveling there for three weeks. I also do not see a problem with this. Taste is what matters to me most. Dishes can "parallel" something and be tweaked for a better experience depending on the market. Perhaps this is what Thai Chili 88 does--and they do it well, which makes them a good business.

    Just bland (shrimp pad thai)

    Can't say enough the food is always good and price is fair. Always go here when unsure about lunch or diner.
