Just received my first order from this restaurant. I've been to Thailand along with trying multiple local Thai restaurants. To say it wasn't good was being overly nice. The cashew chicken had a quarter portion of chicken. Pad see ew was bland and soggy, the spring rolls were soggy as well with little to no flavor. Most thai places have crunchy rolls if they are made fresh. I was not impressed and I will not be ordering from them again. read more

My feeling is, much to my chagrin, only a handful of Thai restaurants that I have dined at in Orange County are worth mentioning. Admittedly, there have only been a select few I have tried (perhaps as few as fifteen restaurants). This may diminish my perspective but does not change it. Some have been bad and almost none of them memorable. And then there is Thai Chili. I am convinced, upon six visits and trying a number of their signature dishes, the Thai cuisine from this small, intimate restaurant in the city of Orange is some of the freshest, best prepared and most flavorful you will find! Thai food is a happy marriage of stark, contrasting flavors. The food is aromatic and the flavors are bold. Many of the dishes are complex, a mixture of spicy, sour, sweet, bitter and saltiness. When good Thai food is successfully executed like it is at this restaurant, it is phenomenal! The following dishes were all nearly flawlessly executed and highlights the bold, delicious flavors of authentic Thai cuisine. Thai Spicy Basil (Pad Kra Prao) with Chicken, $8.95. This classic dish is also my personal favorite. The recipe is simple but it is a must-try dish because it blends all the ingredients together seamlessly to trigger nearly all the taste senses. The minced chicken was moist, not overly salted or doused with fish sauce. The aroma of the Thai basil really came through and accentuated the flavors of garlic, onion and chili peppers. The addition of julienned bamboo shoots gave it some crunch and flavoring that wonderfully complimented the entire dish. Pad Prik Khing with Pork, $8.98. A delicious dry curry dish that includes some of my favorite vegetables and seasonings (like chili paste, green beans, carrots, red bell pepper, ginger and jalapeno peppers) stir-fried together. Thai basil, coconut milk and sugar are added in and then quickly boiled. In addition to thickening the curry, they add creaminess and sweetness, resulting in a fantastic tasting, spicy sauce for the meat and vegetables. It is a very fragrant, full-flavored dish. The thinly sliced pork was plentiful and so tender. Each slice of meat was infused with the flavor of the sauce. Pad See Ew, $7.95. A standard comfort food among Thai people and those that love their food. Nothing was overcooked or very oily. The noodles were a velvet-like, silken texture but chewy. The Chinese broccoli and carrots were crisp and retained their deep colors. The taste and texture of this dish could not be any better. Drunken Noodle (Basil Noodle) with Beef, $7.95. If you can handle the spices, I would strongly suggest ordering this fabulous pan-fried noodle dish at least medium spicy. The chili and the drupes pepper gives this dish its distinctive kick. The noodles were again perfectly cooked, fairly non-greasy and the beef was plentiful. Panang Curry with Shrimp, $8.95. The mildness of this curry allows a myriad of spices, seasonings, palm sugar and coconut milk to give it a distinct, savory and sweet flavor, plus its creamy richness. It goes very well with beef, seafood and even tofu. I love pouring the remaining curry over rice and other rice or noodle dishes. The taste and consistency of the panang curry here are unmatched! Yellow Curry with Chicken, $8.95. One of the richest, creamiest of all Thai curries, making it ideal to order with chicken (which is my preference), fish or tofu. A solid dish but I will probably order it with more chilies to amp the spiciness. It is a good choice for those who enjoy a more mild, creamy curry dish. Green Curry with Pork, $8.95. One of the more aromatic and creamier Thai curries. If you prefer a more spicy, while not as sweet and nearly the same creamy consistency as yellow curry, I would recommend this dish. I enjoyed the flavor but thought it was a tad bit too creamy. Pad Thai with Shrimp, $8.95. Perhaps the most popular of all Thai dishes, I was very pleased with the preparation of this dish as well. The pungency and sweetness of both the tamarind pulp and fish sauce did not overwhelm the flavor of the other ingredients. I often find this a problem at other Thai restaurants. If you enjoy this traditional noodle dish, you will like how it is prepared here. Larb Chicken, $7.95. A Laotian style minced meat salad often made with chicken, duck or pork. Not my favorite dish because I felt it was doused with too much fish sauce and lime juice. This made the dish too acidic and salty for me and I also do not care for meat served at room temperature. Lunch specials - available from Monday to Friday, 11am - 3pm, are all priced $6.95. Any dish ordered with shrimp is an additional $1. Each special is served with fried wontons, soup and steamed rice. (No soup for take out orders.) A nice relaxing dining area with soft music and lighting, very good food and fast, efficient service as promised on their website. Their food taste and preparation are nearly on par with some of the best authentic Thai food gems in Hollywood! read more

The worst Thai food I've ever had. Iced green tea tastes like tap water. Chicken sate peanut sauce is watery and sour. Pineapple fried rice - no flavor. Papaya salad strange pickling on papaya.

Excellent food especially at lunch time the meals are very affordable. I always spend under 15 bucks for lunch .

Ordered via Uber Eats on a Sunday at 5pm. The mains sent (orange chicken and pad Thai) were Absolutely inedible and no way to get refund of the food that showed up. The white rice and satay were fine. Spend $50 and couldn't eat it. The photo attached is what was described as orange chicken. Looks like vomit with orange syrup and chicken bits. read more

Thai Chili - "Orange chicken" - Thai Near Me - Orange, California

Had takeout for dinner a few days ago. Ordered the standard pad thai with chicken and pad see yu with beef and broccoli. To go, the order was a standard square to go box filled up completely. The good: Pad thai was moist and tasty. The chicken was white meat and a little dry. Maybe because I didn't eat it immediately. The noodles was perfect. It tasted great. Pad see yu, the noodles tasted great too. The broccoli was just fine.. not overcooked. And the beef wasn't dry at all. The bad: I didn't realize they open somewhere around 4:30 for the evening. They said they're actually open earlier. I came in at 4:15 and thought the place was closed. The interior is nice I like the murals and the little water fall display area to the side. You don't see this too often at restaurants. It's definitely older look but still, it might be somewhere I'd bring my wife over for a date. The cashier /hostess was very nice when taking and filling in my order. read more

I have been coming 5+ years. There is all new staff in front and willing to bet the kitchen. As it shows in the way the food was cooked tonight. I had the Satay Chicken house special. It had no flavor missing curry or seasoning. In all the years I have been coming I have never had bad or poor food experience. I asked if they where under new ownership, told same owners. Yet they have a new business license filed with the City of Orange (account# 201046) filed either 1/31 or 2/1 based upon the expiration of 1/31/2021. When the old license shows to expire 10/31/2020 (account# 154130). read more

Thai Chili - Thai Near Me - Orange, California

Small restaurant in a mini shopping center. Nice decor inside with a huge wall mural and a water fountain. Customer service was great, the servers were helpful and accommodating to all of our family requests. - We ordered the fresh coconut water and it was pretty good. - We got the Cucumber salad as a side dish (the one that you get with the satay appetizers) and that was delicious! - Tofu Cashew Nut - was a little bland, not enough flavor to it. - White rice was too sticky and clumpy than other places I've been to and I wasn't a fan of it. - Pad See Ew Tofu: was pretty good, flavor was better than the other dishes. - Fried Ice Cream: was okay, I liked the presentation and look of it more than the taste. The ice cream inside was plain vanilla, and the batter tasted too fried for me. It was okay, but go for it if you like that kind of thing! Everyone orders To-Go! We were the ONLY ones in the restaurant on a Saturday night and we noticed many people coming in to pick up their orders. read more

I was recommend this place by a friend and I happened to be in the area so I decided to give it a shot. Used eat24 to order and as always that was a pretty simple process. Food was ready sooner than stated which is always a plus. Now the food itself- I would give a 3/5. I ordered the Pad Thai which is my normal go to. I got the spiciest option and it did have good spice to it but it wasn't as spicy as expected. It seemed more medium spice to me. The food was slightly lacking in flavor compared to other Thai places I've been to. It still did taste good but I would have liked some more flavor to it. Reason why I gave 4 stars is the portion. They gave me a huge portion that's gonna last me at least 2 meals. I also ordered the egg rolls and they were pretty standard no complaints about them This place looks gorgeous inside. It's a nice small place and I am definitely coming back to try some other dishes and to eat inside to enjoy the atmosphere of the place read more

Thai Chili - Pad Thai with chicken. HUGE portion. This pic is after I ate enough to be full! - Thai Near Me - Orange, California

I love their noodle curry dish. It's best if both worlds. Yellow curry but with egg noodles. Yummy

My second time ordering Thai Chili for delivery (door dash) and I am in heaven! This first time is was great, tonight it was mind blowing good. First, I need to comment on the care that is taken when packaging the food. They actually take the time to cut out vents in the styrofoam so your orange chicken arrives with that perfect crisp texture. Very considerate. You can tell they are proud of their product. Next, the curry. Holy cow. The yellow curry is sooo good. But, the star for me is the beef panang ordered medium heat. Trust me, it has heat. Wow! Who ever is cooking tonight is truly a master. I can't wait to be hungry again tomorrow for the left overs. Angel wings, Great. Bbq ribs, yummy. Spring rolls, wonderful. Basically, you can't go wrong with your order. Thank you Thai Chili for making my Friday night after a hard week of work spectacular! read more

Don't bother with food delivery. This place will cancel your order over and over and over again. I don't know why I waste my time with them. read more

If I could give one star I would. Ordered a Thai tiger and this is the saddest, most pitiful and worst tasting excuse for food I've ever been sent home with. The teriyaki chicken tastes closer to a rat then a chicken and the food is extremely unappetizing. They also had basically pre teen children working the counter which is terrible business practice and unfair to the kids. Refused a refund or to make the order correct in any manner. read more

I used to love this place. They do have great food. My family really enjoyed the delivery. However, after my credit card number, including my 3 digit pin and address, were stolen on two separate occasions I tried to find a pattern. What had I purchased on both occasions? What business had access to my full credit card number and my hone address? This was the only business that I had used both days my card was stolen. And, for delivery they had my address and full credit card number with expiration date and 3 digit PIN number. I tried to call the owner on three separate occasions to discuss the situation. Really, I wanted the owner to know so she could investigate herself. I thought if it was this business, she may want to put a stop to it. However, each time I called I was told the owner was not there. They would take my number and say she would call me back, but she never did. I filed a police report. It was all I could do. I can't say for sure it was this business establishment, but I had purchased take out the same day as my card information was stolen - not once, but twice! Again, the food is great. I really miss this place. But, I will not risk having this happen for a third time. read more

Togo review: Ordered off of grubhub. No delivery fee, minimum purchase $20. Quick delivery. COMMUNICATION AND DELIVERY: They were courteous and quick on letting me know they were out of an item. Delivered with utensils, napkins, and extra sauce. FOOD: Dumplings, tasted exactly like the ones bought from costco. Crab fried rice, needed some flavor. The crab flakes were bland leaving it missing a key flavor Beef pad thai, too much seasoning, noodles were short and tasted like it was marinated overnight. Overall: It was okay. Didnt wow me, but I'll give another chance some other time. read more

This is one of the best Thai places around, in terms of their willingness to customize. I am vegetarian, and they make their Fried rice, noodles, and other dishes for me without egg, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. And all of their food comes out tasting delicious! Their willingness to accommodate me is more than any of the Thai other restaurants. By the way, the other Thai restaurants in the neighborhood load their food with sugar and extra oil. Not this one. The owner actually cooks in the kitchen. My husband, who does not have the same dietary restrictions as me, also enjoys all of their dishes without any customization. Although his biggest complaint is that their shrimp doesn't taste fresh. Which is a shame. However he orders beef instead, and is quite content. read more

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, same on me. It's been about a year since we got food to go from Thai Chili. There is nothing appealing about this restaurant. Everything that you want to review about this restaurant is just awful. I am talking about service, food quality and price. I would give it a 0 star rating. Stay away!!!!! read more

We go to Thai Chili for the pokestops, not for the food. 1st visit: Can we get the menu? Do you know what you want? Umm no...that's why we need the menu LOL We got pad see ew combination, pad thai, angel wings and thai iced tea for take-out. Combination pad see ew ($10.95): not the best pad see ew, but it's the best dish out of the 3 dishes we got. It had generous amount of chicken, the noodle was cooked almost perfectly and the taste was almost okay. Basically it was almost good. Pad thai ($8.95): not memorable. I honestly don't remember what it tasted like, but I do remember I was disappointed. Angel wings ($8.95): semi tasteless and the outside was too crunchy. Thai iced tea ($2.50): too milky, too sweet, and not enough tea. It was more like sweet, orange milk. 2nd visit: We came back again because somebody wanted to get poke balls from the pokestops. Thai BBQ pork spareribs ($11.95): served with wonton soup, salad, fried wonton, egg roll and steamed rice, the ribs were almost okay. So glad I added $1.00 extra for fried egg. My favorite part of the meal was the fried egg. Sad..I know. We also got pad see ew and Thai iced tea again and I was disappointed again. The service was friendly and attentive. 2 stars!! Thai Chili is not yummylicious!! read more

It's a little restaurant with big flavor! I've never heard of this place, but we were craving Thai food and it's nearby. What a hidden gem and we're happy to support a local business. My fiancé and I got the Pad Thai, Pineapple Rice, and Beef Pad See Ew to go. Our food was piping hot and ready within 10 minutes. The food was still hot when we got home! The restaurant worker who took our order paid attention to the spice level and modifications to the order (my fiancé can't stand onions) and our order was correct. The food was flavorful, fresh, and we have so much for leftovers. My fiancé's pad Thai was some of the best I've had. My pad See Ew had generous portions of beef and veggies. The pineapple fried rice has fresh pineapple and saffron, which I loved! The portions are big. I appreciated that she put some chili sauce on the side since my fiancé and I like different levels of spice. Very good and can't wait to enjoy our leftovers! read more

Hands down the spiciest thai bbq spot i know so far. Great customer service!! Everyone was very friendly & nice.

Food is good but service is frugal and shady. My co workers always order from here until now because they never will include their spices on the side and for any post mates delivery. You're losing a lot of customers because of your shade haha. we don't feel bad because if you want to do your customers dirty you get the same in return. We do not recommend this place because 3x is the charm for purposely not packing sauce/spices when requested on the side. Do better. read more

What an odd experience. Went in today around 2:20 today and was greeted nicely with a welcome and got sat at a table. 2:25 we tried to order and the same lady comes and says We have inspection today and the kitchen can not cook... Okay..... We asked when they will be able to cook again and she says 4pm. Uhhh, why did you just seat us with the menu as if we could dine?? I was so confused. The restaurant sign said open. She greeted us with menus and sat us. And she thought we would just wait there until 4pm to order??? Bad experience but at least she said sorry and I didn't try their food so 2 stars. read more

What's up with all the hate going on for Thai Chili recently? I've been coming here for several years and have eaten many a good lunch here. Not the best Thai I've ever eaten but far from being bad Thai. I read some Yelp reviews that there is some new ownership, and some beef over the hours and complaints over service. I guess those thing would piss me off too! But you know what In the 5+ years I've been ordering takeout here I only had one single problem a few years ago. They gave me two orders of everything I ordered! OK I can get over that one. I'm not sure about the new ownership, but the food I got today was up to par with any I'd had in the past. As for service and hours I've always called in my orders during lunchtime and have never had any problems except the one LOL. So no complaints from me. But I have never been to Thai Chili for a sit down meal.... FOOD today: Chicken Satay ... I could eat this all day, a nice grilled, peanut and who knows what else they marinade it with chicken skewers, drizzled with a sweet peanuty sauce and chili cucumbers 4****Stars http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-chili-orange?select=pupiryAvwzwyipJ6Z_PrFg#JgZhAQKfpqT-z-OvqBmLpQ http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-chili-orange?select=pupiryAvwzwyipJ6Z_PrFg#K9zwb40_ohJk3JKvRBhcdQ Pad Thai ... nice tender rice noodles, with bamboo shoots, chicken, sprouts, peppers, egg and sauce is a pretty tasty dish, and toss in a salad with some yummy light Thai dressing at $6.95 this is a good lunch! 4****Stars http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-chili-orange?select=pupiryAvwzwyipJ6Z_PrFg#Sjr4FXomTF4jGn5Z1zEzXw Other good stuff I've tried at Thai Chili are the Angel wings, Thai tiger beef, Pad See Ew, Shrimp with broccoli and Oyster sauce, Chicken curry and the chicken fried rice. Thai Chili is a nice looking place to eat, clean and well adorned for this type of Thai place. Yet I've only had mine to go ... I'll keep coming back for lunch! read more

Smiles and freindly attitudes while serving. I had heard Thai Chili was great, but when I found it, I saw this small striplet area, very little parking space, from the outside the restaurant looked small and questionable. But, when I walked in, the place looked very nice, clean, organized, a gentle ambiance, Thai decor, and a pleasant appeal to it. I walked in they served me water and sat me down and I ordered to go(lunch break). The service was rather awesome and quick food preperation. Tiger Beef I had two orders of the Tiger Beef and side of rice, one for me and one for my co-worker. We both loved it, wanted more too. The dish features good cutes of sliced steak on top of cabbage and carrot slices. They serve you a tangy broth on the side. I enjoyed the beef, but it was a moderate portion. Thier rice was great too. If you have a small to regular apetitie this will fill, if you are a large eater, you may want to order an extra side, since thier other dishes look like they had huge portions. Speaking of other items, I saw their wonton's, wow, I want those next time, they looked perfect. They also recommended the Chicken curry which I will try next time. They have a menu online, and I plan to visit it to plan future meals. Oh hell yea I plan to be back. Whether you take the 91, 55, Tustin St or Taft Ave, this is one place to experience. Much like the beauty of Thai Women, this food will amaze you. read more

At this place I have had the best of times and the worse of times... Well, maybe not the best of times but pretty good times. They used to make a pretty good basil noodle and a few of their curries were pretty tasty. Years ago, they would deliver to my place, but recently said it was too far. I would order once or twice a week. It is my opinion, but I think the panang and basil noodle are the best. The last couple of years, the place has been inconsistent. I will leave it at AOK. I prefer going to another place that is not very far from here. I also like the red curry at the place across the street. Overall, AOK. I guess they still deliver if you live pretty close. read more

I think this is the best Thai place I've ever been to in terms of the food. Granted, I'm not an expert in Thai food, but everything I tried had my sailvary glands functioning at maximum capacity. Food: I tried the popular dishes including pad thai (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nNWjhn1vMHndyMliowF5sA?select=pupiryAvwzwyipJ6Z_PrFg, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nNWjhn1vMHndyMliowF5sA?select=-ZGtUZJEJAbTRSQBNSQHtQ) and pineapple fried rice (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nNWjhn1vMHndyMliowF5sA?select=_5f9lac2QDOHgo2ZK3hYZA). The pad thai was pretty much perfect, not too oily, not too bland and full of lots of sumptuous veggies and chicken. The fried rice was great and featured enough seafood pieces to satisfy. I also tried some fried fish with panang curry (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nNWjhn1vMHndyMliowF5sA?select=qX78iEAZ4w1L3w5FynFHxA) which was super good. The curry sauce was a bit watery, but had a great amount of heat. Of the dishes I tried, I think the fried rice was the best. Service: Fast. There was no wait to eat here though the restaurant had a good number of patrons. Atmosphere: The exterior is unassuming as the restaurant sits in a strip mall next to a skate shop. The interior, however, is definitely more exciting. I briefly felt like I had been transported to Hawaii upon entering. The walls are painted with Thai-ish murals and the tables are decorated with orchids, bamboo, and other tropical themed items (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nNWjhn1vMHndyMliowF5sA?select=R_bM1DtfC0b0mU2Pdn54Mg, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nNWjhn1vMHndyMliowF5sA?select=QoLbBGyTWnDJ_jnr7hleiQ, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nNWjhn1vMHndyMliowF5sA?select=2jnvhZ02UVoe95Q06FpRIw). More importantly, it's very clean inside unlike some other Thai places I've been to. Synopsis: If you live in Orange, I'd try to stop by. read more

I hate to give nice small businesses low ratings but it has to be done sometimes. So family ever once and a while want something to eat and they drive me nuts because they can't figure it out or I have to eat around my uber picky sister. My mom is becoming worse about what she wants to eat when it comes to spending money for someone else to cook LOL. They didn't want Zesty thai so I decided to go with Thai chili. It was a new place for us to try. Called in the order and they were on their way to pick it up. We ordered: Wontons: Im spoiled by cream cheese wontons everywhere, so when they're not filled with cream cheese, they're hella dry. Blah! BBQ chicken meal: That was quite good and the side salad with that crack honey mustard dressing most thai places have was goooood. Simple but delish. My sister loved the whole plate. Plus I have a thing for red colored chicken :p Spare ribs: Pretty darn good to me. Not to dry and not to much of a chew. Fall off the bone. No complaints on that. Combo fried rice: That was missing something major. I guess im spoiled by the pink rice I get at Original thai bbq LOL. It was just ok. Beef Pad see ew: It was VERY good, but the portion was small. I heard it was small in the restuarant but it was pathetic inside the to-go box. Not even close to filling up the box. Shit was light weight! The taste was GREAT but the beef was yet again the cheapest cut of meat , the same as Zesty thai's!!!! Garlic shrimp: That was VERY good. A little overcooked but seasoned VERY well. Pouring that over the rice, took it up a notch! Overall it was just an ok meal but my mom was very disappointed and we'll just drive out of our way to my childhood Original thai bbq. read more

Judging from the date of most of the reviews, it looks like nobody has reviewed Thai Chili for a couple years, which coincides with the last time I had visited. From my previous visists I have always found the service to be impeccable, and very friendly. My wife and I played hooky from work one day, and decided to go there for lunch since it had been awhile. Whenever we go to Thai, my wife typically orders the same thing, so again we stayed with the tried and true. 1. Stuffed Chicken wings 2. Spicy chicken with Basil and/or Mint 3. Some type of curry The wings were just as good as we remember them. Cooked to a crisp with a tasty filling. My biggest complaint(?) is that with the spicy chicken and curry dishes, were some type of shredded veggie. This shredded veggie took up over 70% of the dish, and in my mind was simply filler and added no value. I have been to many Thai restaurants and never had these dishes served in this manner. For our lunch including sodas, it cost us over $35 dollars, without the normal feeling of having something really flavorful. I would advise that if you go here, and order, be sure to ask if this shredded veggie, and avoid. I hate to drop the rating, but I don't believe the value is there. read more

I love Thai food so my cousin suggested this location near his house as a dinner option, I had to browse through yelp to scoop out the deets. And sure enough this restaurant was a 4 star establishment. So it obviously would be a great place to enjoy delicious food and good company. ENVIORNMENT The ambiance is very charming and evokes a true exotic homeyness to it. There's a beautiful mural hanging alongside one of the wall as well as a small man-made waterfall decoration. Truly a tranquil place to enjoy robust dishes. PRESENTATION For a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant, this establishment takes great pride is presenting their food is a very fashionable manner. Each dish was garnished with hand crafted decor which included a butterfly and various flowers and set in beautiful angular white plates (the type you see at really fancy restaurants). Definitely a nice touch! FOOD Appetizer: To start we went with the Mee Krob ($7.95) which is a sweet and tangy crispy noodle dish combined with some fresh beansprouts. Honestly, it tastes better than it sounds and was probably my favorite dish of the night. I highly recommended. :) Entree: Next we sampled three entrees which included Pad Thai ($7.95), Yellow Curry ($8.95), and Thai Spicy Basil ($8.95) and shared it family style to ensure maximum taste satisfaction. Among the three I was the most disappointed with pad thai as it was a little too soft for my liking and a bit on the watery side. I like mine a bit firmer and possibly slightly crispy with a more dry texture to it. The Yellow Curry had a good balance of sweet and savory while the Thai Spicy Basil were flavorful. I thoroughly enjoyed both offerings. SERVICE Outstanding. Our server checked in out on frequently and our waters were virtually never empty, which I greatly appreciate. SUMMARY Everything is great! From the decorations and festive atmosphere down to the details emphasized in the dishes itself, this restaurant is a great place to entertain guests and have a fantastic meal. Additonally, the prices are hard to beat. In the future I'll have to come and check out their lunch special as the value is quite alluring. $7 for soup, rice, entree of your choice, and wonton. Sounds good to me! :) read more

Ordered food; instructions of no onion were not followed. Hoping the staff will take greater care in following instructions.

I go there for its drunken noodles and crab fried rice. I usually don't order fried rice because I could make it at home but this place makes it really good! Very tasty enough you don't need extra soy sauce. The pad see yew is also very good! The last time we were there, we tried the pineapple fried rice. It's a little different but still very tasty. The good thing about it even though, we ordered drunken noodles, crab fried rice, pineapple fried rice, and pad see yew. They all have distinctive taste and don't feel like they are the same thing. Make sure you asked for their pickled chili to go with its drunken noodles. It makes it spicier! I would avoid the pickled chilli padi, that's some hot stuff!!! read more

My husband and I love this place. Their food is really great and they have decent prices. My only bummer is that they don't have cream cheese rangoons. :( They do have crab rangoons though, and they're delicious! As per usual, the good stuff is always the pad see ew. They're tom yum seafood is my vice when I'm sick. I order that like no other. They also have mango with sticky rice and that's always scrumptious. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because of delivery. They're not the best at that. We ordered for 5 people on a Friday night and it took over TWO hours to be delivery. Mind you I live about 2 miles from this place so it shouldn't have been that difficult. But overall, they're good peeps so I still go in and eat there. I just don't order take out unless I'm extremely craving it. read more

I had lunch today with my Sis. I checked yelp for nearby thai places, found the Thai Chili and off we went. I ordered the spicy thai basil with pork lunch special.. the soup they served was terrible...lacked flavor and it seemed to have salad veggies in it...weird. The spicy thai basil was great, I was actually surprised..totally delish! Came with a fried egg roll, fried wonton, white rice, and dressed salad on the plate too. My Sis had the pad thai with chicken and she liked her food as well, though she agreed with me about the soup. Friendly service which I appreciate. Located in a small strip mall that I would not have noticed had it not been for yelp. Note the pretty butterfly cut out from a carrot the chef put on my rice..lovely!!!!! read more

Thai Chili - Spicy thai chili basil with pork lunch special - Thai Near Me - Orange, California

Came here after checking it out on yelp. I got tom yum kai (chicken) soup, pad thai, and a green garden vegetable dish, which ran about 28 bucks. The food--- I thought the soup, and the pad thai were just average, Thai Nakorn and Siam have this placed beat big time. The soup didn't have much meat and there were too many chunks of lemongrass for me to really enjoy it. I thought the pad thai was a bit greasy, but again ok. The green garden seemed way over priced for some steamed vegetables. probably wont come back here as I know of some better spots to go to. read more

Great "House Specials" option. The amount of food you get for the price can't be beaten. Very clean location. I usually dine in and the service is outstanding. Their Green Garden with Beef dish is absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. They are closed on Tuesdays. read more

Ok update. We came back to this place to both eat and die delivery. We love this place once again... not sure if there was different management, but it is now back to our favorite Thai restaurant. read more
