Outstanding food that was well worth the wait. Service was a little slow, but the restaurant was busy, and the quality of the food made up for it. The Pad Kee Mao was excellent with bold, delicious flavors. The real standout, though, was their homemade spicy sauce, it was so good that it paired perfectly with everything we ordered. The mango sticky rice was another favorite at our table. The portion was generous and easily large enough to share between two or even three people. The firefighter theme throughout the restaurant is a fun and unique touch. We'll definitely be back next time we are in the area. read more

Every time we go there, we are just so happy that this is our local Thai restaurant The food is so tasty and the presentation is gorgeous I can't remember the manager's name, but she's the daughter, and she could not have been more hospitable I thought the strawberry lemonade was a bit sweet. She was more than happy to doctored it up for me... I just gave a little bit extra water and it was so yummy but the fact that she was willing to keep checking on me I thought it was so darn sweet. read more

First time visiting this small Gem! Didn't realize they've been open for just shy of 3 years. So after an appointment a friend of mine went to try it. We arrived a few minutes before they opened for the evening. The service was very good. All the staff were very nice, and made sure everything was good. It was so good I finished my entire plate and it stayed hot ( steam) the entire meal. I can't wait to go back and enjoy another great meal. Fresh and tasteful!!!! Thank you The restaurant is small but very nice and clean. By the time we finished our meals there was 8 people waiting to be seated. read more

Ok. Beyond the fact Mama (rice) has monopolized Ventura county, I absolutely am in love with Thai Fire. My girlfriend and I got lunch (no drinks) and was UNDER $40!!!! She ordered a vegetarian bento box and it was filled to the brim with food. The presentation of the food AND the quality is amazing. Hands down, my favorite Thai place in Ventura. Highly recommend and am so excited to go back. I love the edible flowers! I understand why they have a 4.8 ratings. read more

Whomever is reading this review, words can't express how amazingly wonderful our food , service, ambiance was at Thai Fire. Upon entry, we were greeted with a smile and a very small wait. They were full. After being seated we were greeted by a sweet young lady that asked us if we had any questions don't hesitate to ask. We ordered Tom Kha soup, we all agreed it's the " Best we've ever eaten ". We ordered Dumplings, Spring Rolls and Mango Sticky Rice!! All served family style. The place was very clean. If we didn't live 2.5 hours away, we would be there probably weekly. We highly recommend trying Thai Fire. You will not be disappointed. Here are a couple pictures I took. I forgot the soup. lol read more

Our favorite new restaurant! Super hands down best Thai food I've ever had. Owner is super cool too. Must try if you are in Ventura!

As locals who have tried just about every Thai spot in town, and as self proclaimed very picky, Thai food lovers, this place absolutely exceeded our expectations. Tie is our favorite cuisine so we don't say this slightly, this place is amazing! Everything was incredibly flavorful, but the yellow curry was next level, Rich, comforting and seriously one of the best we've ever had. It's a small smaller spot, so definitely expect a wait, but it is 1000% worth it. Their service is friendly and fast, and the experience feels really personal. The owner even came by to check on us and spend some time chatting about the restaurant and his role in the community, which made it feel even more special. (bonus, it's locally owned by a fire chief who just adds to the heart behind the place) the decor is super cute and unique, with art, props, and firefighter touches that give it so much character. We already can't wait to come back, and honestly, no other Thai place is going to live up to this one anymore! read more

This cozy spot delivered incredibly authentic and flavorful dishes that didn't disappoint. Being from Texas we were looking for a authentic Thai place for dinner. I found this place via Yelp and the ratings were high so we had to try. The Thai tea served in a tall glass mug didn't disappoint at all and was DELISH!! Started with the spring rolls as an appetizer and wow what a "PRESENTATION". The Spicy Basil Chicken had so much flavor and was extremely fresh with a "kick" of spice to it but in a vey good way. Teriyaki chicken very authentic and had its own homemade spin with an amazing taste !! To top off the dinner we ended with the coconut ice cream and Sticky mango rice!! Best I ever had and was a delicious delight. Found out this place was family owned and glad we came into support Local. Thai Fire is an absolute must-try; the dishes are perfectly prepared and the savory sauces are spot on with generous portions and so worth it. Highly recommend Thai Fire. The staff was authentically warm, informative; as well as extremely professional. Their recommendations were spot on !! Thank you Thai Fire for quenching these Texans need for authentic Thai food. We will definitely be back !! read more

Our first time here and everything was great! The food was great, the service was great, ambience was good. I've tried a couple of Thai restaurants here in Ventura and they always disappointed me, specially coming from LA and after visiting Thailand, this is the only Thai restaurant we will be going to from now on in Ventura county. Food options are great, we tried the fried rice, pad Thai, pad see ew, tom yum, and Thai tea. All were great! Even if my husband's ordered came really late, they were so generous about it and the portions were amazing! All shareable! Happy to know there's a Thai restaurant we'll be going to from now on. read more

If you want to wait 93 minutes for a four item takeout order on a Tuesday night, this is your place. For those of us who want to eat dinner before breakfast, keep moving. In the past we have always ordered from Rice by Mama 2. But this week is the fair and downtown is hectic. So we gave Thai Fire a try. What a mistake. Took forever and it wasn't even good.

Quaint, small restaurant with a really nice ambience, very attentive & kind staff. The food was amazing very fresh. We ordered the spring rolls as an appetizer. I have eaten many spring rolls in my life and I love to make them, but I have never seen any done like this very artistic & the peanut sauce was spot on. I had a delicious Shrimp Pad Thai and tasted my nephews Pad See Ew the black soy sauce was perfect on the flat rice noodle. I want to try the Egg Plant next and I bet the curry and soups are delicious too. read more

This was a stopping point on our way to Solvang. Based on location I wasn't expecting much, but turned out to be a great place. My whole family loved the food, and would consider this one of our favorite Thai restaurants. We ordered the lunch special of Pad See Ew and Spicy Basil, as well as Beef Salad. Beef Salad had excellent flavor and beef was tender. Pad See Ew had the perfect texture on noodles and flavor was on point. Spicy Basil (we got it with ground chicken) had perfect balance of flavor. I really have nothing to complain about. Service was attentive and friendly, although it could've been due to coming during off hour. We were the first customers on Memorial Day. read more

Delicious food. Best Thai I've had in a while. Huge portion, everything tastes fresh and flavorful. The red curry lunch special was also great with lots of fresh vegetables and a great portion. Everything was plated beautifully. They have a lot of crowd pleaser dishes. It does take a little longer to get food than other Thai restaurants but I think that just speaks to how much care they put into each dish. I will absolutely come again. read more

Thai Fire Valentine's Day Takeout Review To celebrate Valentine's Day, I ordered takeout from Thai Fire a day early to avoid the Friday rush. While I had high expectations, the overall experience was somewhat disappointing. However, my family enjoyed the meal, so that was a plus. Restaurant Atmosphere Despite the rainy weather, the restaurant was fully packed. It was small but clean and well-organized. It seemed like a popular spot, which raised my expectations for the food. The staff was busy attending to customers, creating a lively atmosphere. Ordered Dishes & Ratings (Out of 5 Stars) Egg Rolls - 3.0 As expected, these were vegetable-only egg rolls with a rather ordinary taste. They were decent but not impressive enough to reorder. Tom Yum Soup (Chicken + Shrimp Added) - 3.5 Even with the added shrimp, the broth didn't stand out. The balance between sourness and spiciness was good, but it lacked depth in flavor. Papaya Salad (Medium) - 3.5 The vegetables were fresh, but the sourness was a bit too strong for my taste, making the overall flavor slightly unbalanced. Combination Fried Rice - 2.0 One of the most disappointing fried rice dishes I've had recently. The rice wasn't fluffy or well-separated but felt slightly mushy, and the seasoning was too mild, making it quite bland. Pad See Ew (Chicken) - 3.8 This was the most enjoyable dish of the order. The texture of the noodles and the soy sauce-based seasoning were well-balanced, but the price felt a bit steep. Overall Rating * Taste: (3.0) - Some dishes were decent, but none were particularly memorable. * Packaging: (4.0) - The food was well-packaged and arrived warm. * Price: (2.5) - The price felt high compared to the quality, especially for certain dishes. * Likelihood of Returning: Low - My family enjoyed it, but I personally wouldn't be in a rush to return. Since it seemed like a popular spot, I had high expectations, but the overall value for money was underwhelming. Additionally, the flavors felt too Americanized, lacking the depth and authenticity of traditional Thai cuisine. As someone who prefers authentic Thai flavors, the taste was just okay for me--but of course, this is just my personal opinion. read more

My mom and I visited for the first time yesterday. I have always passed by this cute lil spot and it is always full! We arrived around 6pm and were seated immediately. We decided to share the chow mein with chicken, orange chicken, and some fried rice. Everything came out so hot, full of flavor, and with amazing presentation. The sauces at the table were all amazing as well. We paid $50 for our meals, shared and even took some home. The owner came by a few times to check on us and our waitress was very helpful and kind. This space is so cute, family owned and operated, and the food did not disappoint! I can't wait to come back and try another dish. read more

My daughter and I visited Thai Fire for the first time after seeing the reviews as 5 stars!! The food we ordered was superb to say the least. First dish was a special of the night, asparagus with snow peas, chicken and shrimp and this was AMAZING!!! ** PLEASE ADD THIS TO MAIN MENU** Second dish was the curry with beef and that had the perfect amount of spice and heat, very flavorful!! I highly recommend both dishes!! Thai Tea was also excellent and came in a very cool tall beer glass!! Service was very prompt, attentive and very friendly! The owner, Jerry is a US Veteran so I love supporting Veterans!! He's also a Federal Fire Chief, hence the name Thai Fire!! He came up to ask us how the meal to check in on us to ensure satisfaction!! The interior decor is very cool with an exposed brick facade and a very cool mural as well as some metal art and fire fighting gear!! Highly recommend for great Thai food!! I will definitely be returning in the near future to try other items on the menu!! read more

I absolutely enjoyed my visit to this lovely restaurant. I recently dined in and for it being a Wednesday night they were busy as is. It is a very intimate place to have a conversation with which I loved. My waitress was one of the friendliest I have ever encountered. She was attentive and accommodating as they had already closed and was not rushing us at all. They start you off with complimentary soybeans which is great. We ordered the cream cheese appetizer and I have to say it is one of the best cream cheese appetizers I have tried. Cooked to perfection as it was creamy and soft to the bite. We ordered the yellow curry, fried rice, and chicken pad thai with each plate presented beautifully. Every plate was delicious and rich to the flavor!!! If you are in doubt this is the spot to try!! Service, food, and restaurant were all perfection! I will definitely be making this my new favorite thai food spot!! read more

The food was amazing! Highly recommend!! I love the inside of the restaurant! Everyone was friendly.

This small spotless gem on East Main Street is serving beautiful flavors rarely found in California. I got the pad Thai lunch special for $16.95 that included a crispy and flavorful spring roll, fresh leafy salad (I found the dressing a bit too sweet), and freshly sectioned orange with a raspberry. Their pad Thai is one of the best I've ever eaten with both the distinct flavor of tamarind and wok hay. Their orange chicken lunch special included the same salad, spring roll, and fresh fruit, along with a scoop of white rice for the same price. The chicken was crisp, not too sweet, and had the wonderful orange flavor imbued by actual grated orange peel! Service was very professional and kind. Restroom was spotless, and parking was easy on the street in front. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Ventura! read more

Been dying to try this spot since it opened and after reading the good reviews I was even more excited. This review is strictly for takeout but I will be back to leave a review once I have dined inside. Thai Fire has an extensive menu and really good lunch specials if you dine in. I appreciate when a menu has so many delicious looking entrees that it makes it hard to pick what to order. Always a good problem to have. For takeout we went with our classic orders of a rice dish and a soup. A little out of left field for us but we ordered their orange chicken only because we had read a few reviewers highlighting how good it was, so we didn't want to pass it up. No issues with the delivery at all. Our food came exactly as we ordered it and was packaged carefully which we appreciated! Good portion sizes too which for to go orders you never know. All in all a great spot to get takeout from. As for the food, an easy 5/5 stars! Everything was delicious. Their fried rice has a good amount of extra veggies that you don't always see. The rice tasted really fresh and not greasy, yet had nice flavor. My favorite was definitely the orange chicken as it was white meat chicken and had the most luxurious sauce with a nice mild batter. You really could taste the light orange flavor, super delicious and I can see why it was a fan favorite. The toss up was the Tom kha soup for me, it was good but the broth didn't taste as developed as some other places I like in the area. All in all though every dish was good and I'm even more eager to come back to try some of their other raved about dishes like the spicy crispy catfish. Also if you like spice this spot hits the mark because their chili oil is FIRE for you hot sauce lovers. I added a little to my soup and was pleasantly surprised by the kick it delivered (so add at your own risk). Great new Thai spot in Ventura and I can't wait to come back to dine in. read more
