I live in yuba city, were we have only 2 Thai places. Thai chili blows them out of this world. My family loooves Thai, and it's hard to find places up north where they serve pork satay, and mee krob. I will say this, the mee krob was not what I was expecting, the flavor was good, but I was really looking forward to the sweet sticky awesomeness that is mee krob, I think we got its cousin. We also ordered Thai coffee/tea, we asked for the largest glass they have, and the brought out steins.!!!! Some places put it in like a fluted glass but not these babies, it was sooooo friggen good, even my super picky husband was drooling over the Thai coffee/tea. My hubby ordered the pad see ew with chicken, and practically inhaled it. He was like how come they don't make it like this up at home? I ordered the pad Thai combination meat, omg I could not stop eating it, it saw so flavorful, and the noodles were the perfect consistency. My dad ordered the pineapple curry, at med. spiciness, and after a couple of bites it was like a kick in the pants, and the pineapple bits was like finding tasty treasures. He also got pork fried rice to go with the curry and I absolutely fell in love with the nice sized chucks of meat. My dad girlfriend ordered the house special angel wings, meh. She said it was good, but didn't offer to share, that's ok I had some chicken satay to eat. That peanut sauce was like fireworks in my mouth. I could not get enough of it. All in all, this place was amazing, the wait staff was charming, and so helpful. Our waitress was so very good to us, and after all that they only charged us like $80 dollars. So inexpensive!!! I defiantly recommend this place to all the kids out there. Just go in and laugh with the wait staff, expect to have fun and you will. Don't go into this place and start judging them before you give them a chance. The next time I'm in L.A, I will come back and try the yellow curry. read more

Thai Chili - The stein my Thai coffee came in.!!! ;-) - Thai Near Me - Orange, California

Tastier than most local Thai places We stopped in for dinner to try it out since we are looking for a replacement for our beloved Spicy Thai which sadly burned down. I had the chicken larb salad and my sweetheart ordered the chicken pad thai. We shared a wonton soup. We loved that the wonton soup came out in a flaming bowl, just like at Spicy Thai. The soup itself was quite flavorful and good. The chicken larb salad was delicious also. The pad thai was just ok, not a lot of flavor. So far, this is the best we have found in our immediate area. The atmosphere is really nice for a strip mall place, with a neat mural and decorations. It should also be noted - for those who like to play Pokemon Go, there are 4 Poke Stops you can reach from the restaurant. read more

Good food and friendly staff! My husband loves the Orange Chicken and I always get the Pad Sew Eww chicken.

The food here is amazing and I really enjoyed the service. This is my go to for me when I crave Thai food.

Lunch order was on time. The soup was delicious and chicken pad see ew was tasty. It was ready on time and it was a good portion to share.

Food is decent, nothing over the top. However, ordered a Thai Iced Tea with easy ice to go but ended up with Ice with easy Thai Tea. The amount of ice was ridiculous. read more

Spicy beef salad! Totally worth the trip to this spot. The decor is warm and inviting with little murals and a nice cute water fountain along one wall. The service, though, is meh. They're very nice. But they get orders wrong frequently and look at you like you're good, right? And it's pulling teeth to get a refill on water. I raise my hand like I'm in junior high. Excuse me miss, I'm thirsty. Water please? But food wise, the egg rolls are super fried and super greasy. But they hit the spot when fresh out of the fryer. I eat one and let my dining companion bulk up on the rest. And the spicy beef salad is both spicy and a salad with beefy goodness. I often mistakenly bite into the peppers, hence my need for more water. But it's yummy and it's flavorful. And it's super cheapo. If you're a lover of spicy foods like me, you should check this spot out for sure. But be prepared for a slow lunch that may not get you back to the office in time. read more

Ordered Delivery and came over TWO HOUR LATER! WTH! Last Friday (3/30), I placed an order(4 ppl $52 dollars) delivery around 7:20pm. I got confirmation email 7:27pm saying it'll take 45-60 minutes to receive our food. I waited until 8:51pm and called the restaurant and kindly try to ask where our order was. The waitress cuts me off and rudely replies(automatically) "He's 15 minutes away." I don't think she even bothered to check or apologize. So we waited some more, I was about to call back and cancel our order but delivery driver called and said he arrived. We're located less than 2 miles away. We paid the delivery fee.... The food arrived at 9:21pm, it was hot and tasted as expected (not my favorite place for Thai food). Being that late could only mean, they were behind on orders. What they could have done: -Offer an apology. -Actually check the order when I called. -Gave us a courtesy call after an hour and ask if we wanted to proceed with the order. -Offer a complimentary drink or desert. -Offer a discount or coupon. DON'T DO DELIVERY!! read more

Thai Chili is one of my favorite places to get pad thai! Everything about it is just so delicious! My favorite part of the pad thai is this hand-carved butterfly made from a carrot! It's a wonderful touch to the meal and almost too pretty to eat! It's a nice and relaxing sit down restaurant that has a calm atmosphere. As a student of Chapman University, I often call and order for pick-up and my food is always ready when I get there! read more

Thai Chili - pad Thai with beautiful hand carved butterfly made from a carrot :) - Thai Near Me - Orange, California

3.5 stars overall Chicken Dumplings (3 stars): Good, but a bit chewy. The sauce it comes with pairs well with it. Wonton Soup (4 stars): I will definitely be getting this when I feel a sore throat coming on. Good broth. Vegetable Pad See Ew (4 stars): This was my favorite here. The noodles had a great flavor! Only problem was the tofu itself didn't have much flavor, but the noodles made up for it. Vegetable Cashew Nut (3 stars): Wasn't crazy about the sauce. But it is filled with veggies. Tofu was good. Pineapple Fried Rice (3.5 stars): Not the best but still good. Red Curry (3.5 stars): Didn't look as red as they normally do but it was still good. Fried Ice Cream (3 stars): Not a big fan of the batter they use over the ice cream. The fried part fell away from the ice cream really easily so it was hard to get a perfect bite of both. It wasn't holding up and ended up getting soggy so you didn't get much of a crunch. But loved the presentation with the flame. Service (4 stars) They made sure they had everything written down right before they left which was nice. We got everything we ordered. They were great with kids. Atmosphere: Good sized restaurant. Clean, nice water fountain background noise. We came around 7 on a Saturday night and it was empty. A lot of people came in for togo orders though. Not in a super happening shopping complex so maybe that's why. If you're looking to eat some solid thai food at a nice place where you won't have to wait on a busy night-this is it. They also have a lot of vegetarian options. read more

We've been coming to Thai Chili for years, and have always enjoyed it. I assume they've gone through a few different owners or managers, but the food has remained constantly good. Lots of vegetarian choices too. read more

Thai is my favorite and I can attest that this is the best Thai place in the surrounding area. Consistently delish. Very nice people running the place. read more

Delicious! Really loved their drunken noodles & Pad Thai. Super kind employees! Found my new favorite Thai restaurant in OC.

Well, it was edible. That's where the third star comes from. Sadly, our order was wrong. My friend picked food up last night and came over. She ordered the red curry with tofu and I ordered pad Thai with tofu. I did not get pad Thai. I'm not sure what I was given, but the noodles were orange and it was packed with veggies- broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, corn, cabbage- none of which I've ever seen in pad thai. When craving pad Thai nothing is more disappointing than the wrong order. But because it was so late and we were starving we still tried it. I mean, it was fine. Noodles were over cooked and it was a bit bland, but it was food. My friends red curry seemed wrong to her too, but she said it was good. It was missing the usual elements of red curry that she's used to but couldn't really pin point what it was about it that was wrong. 2 stars for decent red curry + 1 star for edibility. Now I'm still hankering for good pad Thai. Definitely wouldn't come back here looking for it. read more

I cannot get enough of the Yellow Curry. I think I could eat it everyday. 1 order is enough to feed two people, though I never share!

Pretty good, not great. Service better than the food. Weird hours, in that the restaurant closes for part of the afternoon. Ate there 8 or 9 years ago. Would give them another shot, based on the good service. read more

Biggest variety for vegetarians ...the spicy fried rice n veggie chow mein were very good. ...portions r just right...the signature dush sweet sticky rice with mango is great ...must try read more

Been coming here since they opened in about 16 years ago. Management has changed a few times, but the menu has been relatively the same. They even have lunch specials on the weekdays. Service is usually good and the place is packed on Friday evenings. I happened to drop in for lunch and had the spicy scallops. There are plenty of Thai places in this area, but I think this one and Lanta Thai on Katella are two of the better choices. read more

Thai Chili - Pad Thai lunch special - Thai Near Me - Orange, California

I've had their chicken satay a few times, to-go. They have a really tasty peanut dipping sauce, and they give you a large amount of skewers! I've had their wonton soup recently, and that was large and filling. The lunch special prices can't be beat for the amount of food you get. The pad Thai is delicious and it comes with a side of rice, small salad, and a few wontons. They've always been very friendly read more

I'm not sure if they changed ownership but either way I love, love, love this place. I normally order the silver noodle soup, chicken satay, green curry and the pad saw ew. It's always hard to decide but everything is always good. The consistency of the food right now is awesome. read more

So hope the owner is reading this. Food was great as I remembered it. Now there was complication on the order probably because no grub hub driver came on time so the owner? I think had to deliver it. I just hope they don't feel obligated regarding my order to make it up to me and sorry if I sounded pissed. He was doing his best job to get things right. Think refund for the specific item was already made through GrubHub. For those of you who are planning to eat here, I definitely recommend, food amount is more than filling, Fried Rice is definitely worth having. read more

Well, really hungry for some pad see eu for lunch. Decided to try this little place. I must admit, the bar is pretty high when it comes to my Thai food. I'm used to the best at a place in Fullerton call Thai Basil. They lost their cook though so it's not as good as it used to be. Anyway, this dish traditionally calls GAI lan or Chinese broccoli. The broccoli today was soggy and reminded me of re-purposed broccoli. Just not what I would call fresh. The noodles were broken and the color was just not appealing. I don't think I would go back. Too bad. I really wanted some good Thai food. read more

Thai Chili - As you can see, not a very appealing picture. - Thai Near Me - Orange, California

I'm honestly surprised there are such terrible reviews. I've been ordering Thai Chili for the 5 years I've lived in Orange and I've never had a bad experience or delivery. Food is delicious and the delivery is a little slow but my food always shows up hot. I've tried several other Thai places in the area and none of them taste half as good as this place! read more

AMAZING SERVICE! Food was great too :) We showed up on a Sunday afternoon with a party of 10 and they seated us immediately. My dad is diabetic and they were more than happy to adjust their recipe so that he could order what he wanted. That means a lot to our our family. The portions were HUGE and the food was very authentic. We'll be back very soon! P.s. they were happy to store a cake for us while we ate and when it came to singing happy birthday, the whole staff came out to join us! This was very sweet :) read more

Food was okay, but the delivery was horrible. It took the delivery person well over an hour to just find my address - from just a little over two miles away - with me on the phone trying to give turn by turn directions. Will not be ordering from them again - too much of a hassle. read more

The food was so delicious! And the gentleman who delivered our food was one of the sweetest people I've ever met ! This is my second time ordering from here and I've ordered the Cashew Nut Chicken way time and it's 100% yuuuuummmmmy ! This place definitely does not disappoint! And their prices are great. Would recommend to everyone! read more

This is a little gem of a place! We came by to order some food to go & didn't realize we were a little early for opening. The owners opened up for us & made our order right away. They even brougt us water with the menus. They were very accommodating and sweet. I'm not a huge fan of Thai food, but this place hits the spot. read more

Do not EVER order from this restaurant through door dash. They are rude don't address the customers concern and it took me forever to get a refund for an order I never got and was never delivered ! Please! there are many Thai restaurants that are better and will serve better customer service ! Save yourself the headache read more

i've been going to this place forever! my go to thai place. they have changed a couple things over the years but the quality of the food always remains the same. i always get the green curry and cashew nut. they have lots of vegetarian options. read more

Yelp really needs to start letting us give zero stars. This place is the best example of a 0 star type restaurant. The 1 star I'm giving them is for the food, I guess. This place has let me down plenty of times but today would be the last time. I ordered food to be delivered to my house at 630. I called the restaurant @ 725pm to follow up with my order and was told it would be another 30 minutes because they had just received my order. Are you serious?? Almost an hour later and they are barely going to start with my order? Fast forward another 1 hour @ 820pm, I called the restaurant and they said the driver is on his way. No apology or anything, just no care at all. 15 mins after, my order came in wrong. I called the restaurant back at 835pm to let them know but they never answered the phone. Called a few more times and they just flat out ignored all my calls. Worst experience ever! read more

I've noticed Thai Chili and few times while driving down Tustin Ave, and always vowed to stop in and check them out. During one of my days of being super lazy and not wanting to go out and grab dinner, I searched the Yelp app for local places that delivered, and this place popped up. The ordering system was very thorough and easy, and within 45-minutes I had food delivered to my door. Not only was the food piping hot, but the portions were big enough for multiple meals after the fact. They definitely don't skimp, and the price points are reasonable. What we ordered: - Pad Thai: We got this as a combo that came with both shrimp and chicken. The noodles were cooked nicely and the order wasn't too oily. The amount of protein to carb ration was great and again, we had so much left over for the next day. - Pad See Ew: Got this with beef and I loved the grilled flavor that came through with the meat. There was a good amount of broccoli and other veggies in the dish and again, gigantic portion. - Beef Panang: We ordered this on the spicier side and it was pretty hot. Good amount of meat and peppers - super delicious when poured over white rice. - Tom Kha Kai Soup: Lots of chicken, good flavor. Added a little bit more chili paste to heat things up a little bit more, so if you like heat, I'd order it on the spicier side. Still fantastic. Pick-up and delivery have both been great and the service has been super friendly. I'll have to return and dine in-house at some point, but with their free delivery within a 3-mile radius, it's kinda hard not to want to post up on the couch watching Netflix while someone else brings you a meal! read more

Yes I am being generous with 3 stars here (yeah I changed my mind so what!)... They really goofed things up today. Definitely not a place that I would want to go to often if at all again. So one of my co-workers wanted to do lunch and we decided to go here. Wow... very surprising place. I knew it was funky when I greeted our waitress/hostess with a Sawadee Krup (Thai for hello) and she said nothing back! This is always a bad bad sign I have found in the past... unfortunately it holds true. So we look at the lunch menu (lunch items come with Rice, wonton soup, and crispy wonton wrappers).We get our soup and start to chow down. It was a decently flavored and tasting wonton soup. PRO TIP: Parking here is a NIGHTMARE at lunch during the week... We get our main courses a few minutes later. This is where the problem arises. My coworker ordered green curry w/tofu and got orange curry with chicken. I got bbq chicken which was two small (1.5" wide 3"- 4"long) sections of breast meat with the bones still in them. The chicken was dry and the portions where the skin wasn't there was beginning to jerk. It had a decent taste though. But for $8 bucks it wasn't what I am used to, to say the least for thai food. Totally let down and my co worker was pretty disappointed as he had eaten there a few times before as well. Consequently I suggest avoiding this place... and in the end I downgraded my initial 3 star to a 2 star... I just couldn't rate it so high with major food prep style issues. read more

I really wanted to give this place a moment to recuperate their reputation but sadly they didn't come through. I ordered from this place recently and the driver was so so so nasty and rude. He called me to let me know he was here and I let him know that he has access to my building and apartment. He decided he didn't want to drop my food off. Instead he asked me to come get my food! I however did explain I had an injured ankle and that's why I ordered take out. The driver yelled at me and said" if you want your food come and get it, I'll leave it outside here in the front for you." I don't have time for this! What? No, I paid for delivery and I tipped you! He proceeds to flag down a resident to take my food for me because he refused to take it to my door. That poor lady didn't have to do his job!! Also, he said he was gonna get a ticket for putting on his blinkers and parking on red. I told him, I used to be a driver. You don't get a ticket for delivering food. I called the restaurant personally and asked for a discount or refund. They could not locate my order all of a sudden!! Wait you charged me? How do u not know? I called back again, said the owner was on vacation and wasn't authorized to make such a decision. BS! Let's just say, I am never ordering from this place ever again! Such a shame to see poor customer service. I hate giving bad reviews but hey if a handicap person would go through this, I would feel bad not to warn them. These people don't care about you, trust me. My opinion personally. read more

I didn't think I'd actually find a decent Thai restaurant out in Orange, but Thai Chili has really surprised me. A copy of a letter from Yelp on company letterhead taped to their front window pleasantly surprised me, too. One day, on my way back home, I decided to stop by for some take-out. Hmmm, what to order? Green papaya salad, tom yum koong soup, pad see ew noodles, and some panang curry should do it. The papaya salad (though ordered medium spicy) was not spicy at all...until I mistakenly bit into what i thought was a green bean (it was a pepper). Apparently the peppers weren't ground too well and distributed throughout the salad like they should have been. Besides the lack of spice, the rest of the salad was decent. The tom yum koong was still piping hot when I got home about 15 minutes later. Flavor-wise, it wasn't bad at all. Loads of shrimp, too. The only complaint the wife and I had was that it was a bit sweet compared to the tom yum koong soup we've had at other Thai restaurants. The pad see ew was very tasty and my wife enjoyed it very much. Not too sweet, not overly salty either. Like the soup, these noodles were nice and hot when they got home. The panang curry was also quite good. I ordered it with chicken, which took on the flavor of the curry quite well. I almost wish we had eaten in the restaurant itself. There was a nice fountain off to the side of the dining area. Each table also had a pair of cool looking ceramic elephant salt and pepper shakers and a few orchid flowers as accents. If you do eat in, don't forget to admire the painted sky and clouds along the ceiling panels. Overall, Thai Chili did not disappoint. I will definitely stop by here anytime my stomach is craving Thai food. Update 9/14/07: Ordered pad thai, yellow curry, thai basil eggplant, and sticky rice with mango. Pad thai a little soggy, but still tasty. Yellow curry good, but carrots undercooked (almost raw). Thai basil eggplant a bit too salty. Sticky rice with mango=wicked awesome dessert! read more

Thai Chili wowed me like the waitresses at Hooters. You want to believe that they're hot, but you just can't get around the orange shorts, tights, and legwarmer-like socks. For Thai Chili, I've read all the reviews, but this place just didn't do it for me. As a result, I still haven't been knocked off my high horse thinking that great Thai food can't be found in OC. The fried fish was battered and fileted, not fried in all its original glory. The beef sate was small in portion, served luke warm and not entirely oozing with flavor. Despite the spectacular service, I hate to say that I've enjoyed more pleasing (at least to me) Thai food at late night establishments spread over Hollywood and the Valley. Eek! Perhaps, I just ordered the wrong dishes? Or maybe I'll just don a pair of orange shorts and grow a set of child bearing hips. Maybe then, the food will taste great. Sufficed to say, I don't think either of the two will be happening any time soon. read more

"Thai Chili" has a good neighborhood reputation, and if you look at some of their specialty items (Papaya Salad, Spicy Basil Beef, Tom Yum, Silver Noodle Salad, Chicken Puff) it is for good reason. We've had Mango Sticky Rice Dessert maybe a dozen times in our lives but here it was exceptional -- the largest serving ever of it. #bustabutton read more
