My family and I have been regular customers here because we really enjoy the food--especially the mango sticky rice. We've always had good experiences in the past, and I always tip generously. Unfortunately, today was extremely disappointing. The sticky rice today was nothing like usual. It was hard, seemed undercooked, and felt like it might have been old. Normally, it's warm, soft, and fresh. My father, who is a chef, could tell immediately that something was wrong with the rice. When I brought this up to a staff member, she tried to explain it in many ways, but I didn't agree with her explanations--I've eaten here many times, so I know what the dish is supposed to be like. I ordered two plates of sticky rice: one I didn't touch at all because it was simply inedible, and the other my dad tried but only managed a few bites. Still, we were charged for both. I paid without complaint, but I left feeling sad because the issue wasn't resolved and no effort was made to fix it. This place used to be one of our favorites, but after this experience, I don't think I'll be coming back again. read more

Thai Hot Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Indio, California

Had supper there last night and it was outstanding! We had a hard time deciding as everything on the menu sounded so good. Our very sweet and courteous waitress helped us choose the duck noodle dish and eggplant stir fry with chicken. The eggplant dish was stellar, we shared both dishes and we both agreed if we lived nearby we would order that again. The duck was also very good. Loved their horchata fresh vegetables in both dishes. Presentation was beautiful. Prices were reasonable for large portions. Pleasant ambience, super fun basketry light fixtures. Loved it! Wish we had this back home in Texas. read more

We were in the Indio area for a birthday party and needed food for 10 people. I found Thai Hot on yelp and we agreed it looked good. We ordered a ton of food: egg rolls, pad Thai, pad sew eww, jasmine rice, fried rice, egg rolls, curry. Everything was great! We really enjoyed all the food and would come back if we are in the area! read more

Food was great and tasty, service was good, ambience was chill for an early Saturday dinner. Picture is of the aftermath. read more

This place is my ultimate comfort food spot! The flavors are always on point -- rich, fresh, and so satisfying. My go-tos are the pad see ew, tom kha soup, and the Panang curry... all absolutely delicious. Love, love, love this place and always leave happy. read more

Everything is perfect! The only problem is that the food is too sweet. People with diabetes should be careful.

Thai Hot in Indio is a delicious Thai restaurant and it's definitely an unassuming spot from the outside. I'm glad Yelp has been hyping this place up as I'm not sure to the naked eye I would have been inclined to try this spot organically but with the great pictures and reviews online I was eager to get to this spot. The restaurant itself is super cute inside. Nice decor and I like the whicker straw like jellyfish lamps that they have overhead. The restaurant is a good size and I appreciate that aside from regular tables they had a few comfortable booths near the shade drawn window. Restaurant definitely felt fun and the decor brings this spot to life. Staff was very friendly and attentive throughout our meal. I felt like as a customer we were valued as the girl was very sweet and appreciative towards us. The food was well paced and definitely cooked to order, everything tasted fresh and presentation was nice. The menu here is outstanding as they really have a lot to choose from. One of the biggest Thai restaurant menus I've seen anywhere. Page after glossy page of great looking pictures and dishes. It's definitely hard to narrow down your choices. To drink I had the butterfly pea tea which was super cute presentation wise. I liked that they give you the lemon juice on the side so you can squeeze it into your drink and watch the lemonade tea turn from blue to purple. 5/5. The Tom kha soup was tasty but definitely more on the sweet side. Not bad by any means just an adjustment. Could have used the slightest bit more spice to balance the sweet coconut milk but I will say the broth was flavorful and the soup was tasty. Preference wise we like more mushrooms but this soup was more loaded with cabbage, probably why I'd give this dish a solid 4/5. Last dish we tried was simple chicken fried rice but I can say confidently this is one of the best fried rices I've had yet in the desert. While fried rice can be a no frills dish this one was so flavorful I just couldn't stop eating it. I liked that it was black peppered well and honestly it had a charred like flavor. Loved this so much I'd honestly come back again just for a side of rice. The chicken was moist in the rice and the touches of large carrot chunks were nice, a 5/5 dish. Thai Hot is a great newer Thai spot this way in the desert that I would definitely recommend giving them a try. The shopping center doesn't really provide you with an idea of what a treat this spot will be, and I'd recommend coming back in the daytime. read more

We decided to go out for Thai food, and since my husband is Thai, we decided to go to this restaurant again for the second time. He ordered all the food, our favorites, and there was absolutely nothing that we finished and there was nothing that tasted good. Culturally, we did not complain about her food. We just did not get takeout boxes and left. This review is not to make the assumption that we wanted a refund or another dish made. When you try many dishes and they are all not up to our standard that is where we stop ordering and not order any additional food or replacement dishes. I believe the food is Americanized and ethnically correct Thai food... due to the flavorp or lack of Thai spice. The restaurant was not clean, in the dining room, but the restroom was absolutely nasty! We were able to peek inside towards the kitchen area and it was clean and not sanitary. Cleaning one time a day is not enough. We ordered five different dishes and only ate one or two bites out of every dish and left everything for the garbage. We always try to support our family and friends but this is not the place to enjoy authentic Thai food. We both left the restaurant feeling disappointed. We will definitely not return and we will definitely not recommend this place to our family and friends here in town. Our service was OK, but the server did manage to get two dishes, incorrect even after communicating in Thai. With other choices, in the Palm Springs area, for Thai food, they need to work on their cleanliness, the taste of the food, authentic ingredients, and being able to communicate to get the dishes ordered correctly. read more

I honestly would not come back here, the wait was seriously so long people were leaving we thought about it also. We are not from the area so wanted to try. The waitresses are not friendly not attentive at alll do not refill waters bring it then leave and take forever to come back. We waited over an hour for our food. They just drop your stuff off and do not ask if you need anything else the food is whatever for us waiting that long the food was cold. Not the greatest experience at all. read more

Great food and service. Nice holiday atmosphere. The thai spices are perfect. Will be back when in the area.

The service was gracious and the portion was ample. Curry powder was a red flag in the Pad Thai description- which proved true. I had to ask for salt which surprised me. There was an absence of the classic savory sweet tangy umami that we addicts crave. The sauce seems to have been weakened to transparent this far east of Los Angeles via the 10 fwy. Let's reconvene once you reengineer this historic blend of dressed noodle bliss. I searched Chat GPT: Here's a simple recipe for Pad Thai sauce: Ingredients: - 3 tablespoons tamarind paste - 3 tablespoons fish sauce - 2 tablespoons rice vinegar - 2 tablespoons soy sauce - 3 tablespoons brown sugar - 1 teaspoon chili paste (adjust to taste) - 1 clove garlic, minced Instructions: 1. In a small bowl, mix together tamarind paste, fish sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved. 2. Add chili paste and minced garlic, and stir until well combined. 3. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add more sugar for sweetness or more chili paste for heat. 4. Use the sauce immediately in your Pad Thai recipe, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. read more

Thai Hot Restaurant - Lovely presentation - absent of flavor. - Thai Near Me - Indio, California

Was craving Thai food so we came here, we're pleasantly surprised by this place... Kao soi- good flavors but there was no garnish on the noodles, only a few onions and bean sprouts, no green onions or shallots or lime Pad Thai- big portions and good flavor, again no peanut or lime garnish Broccoli stir fry- good flavors and portion size! Larb- we got pork and unfortunately our least favorite dish...I was expecting ground pork with more seasoning and flavors, I should have looked at pictures closer because it was diced pieces or pork, hardly any lettuce garnish and no limes again... The dishes were good but lacking all the finishing garnishes to bring out the flavors. They seemed busy so didn't want to keep asking for things. read more

What a fantastic surprise to have find this great place! We have been searching for great Thi food in the desert and have not found anywhere better than average until now! When you walk in, you know it's a bit different...place is busy, lots of staff, they push service carts around to deliver and pick up everything! The menu is large with something for everyone. Curry's are amazing, the Thai basil chicken stir fry is so fresh! You will not be disappointed in this place, and pricing is very fair! read more

Service was good but when we got our food. It was kinda "meh" And our Thai ice tea had this weird leaf in it that almost looked like a bug... that kinda threw off our appetite so so didn't eat much of our food and left and its was way too expensive for the ambiance and the flies in the restaurant. Even the tip options were too high. It started at 18% read more

Thai Hot Restaurant - tom kah - Thai Near Me - Indio, California

Thai Hot was by far some of the worst Thai food my partner and I have ever had. My partner and I arrived for dinner and had set a Yelp reservation for 6:45pm on a Saturday night. It was busy with two large parties and all the booths filled. Therefore, we didn't mind that we were sat down 15 minutes later. The table we were sat down at was in the booths by the birthday party setup which were a little more cluttered. What was most upsetting was after ordering our food, we waited almost an hour (around 8pm) to receive our food. The table sat down after us received their food before we did which we found odd. When we got the food, we were greatly disappointed. The Pad Thai by the river strangely tasted like tomato sauce. The Basil roasted Duck was oily and the saltiness of the meat overpowered the dish. The Tom Yum fried rice came out mushy and lacked a strong Tom yum flavor (if at all). Additionally, we felt so bad for the single server who was mainly was responsible to manage all the tables and takeout orders. Overall, we're not sure if it was the dishes we ordered that were bad but we can say for certain the food we ordered lacked authenticity, tasted bland and was not worth the 30 min drive from Palm Springs. read more

We were visiting Indio and decided to try Thai Hot restaurant for dinner. There was so much to choose from on their menu but we decided on Pork Belly (dipping sauce was so good), Pumpkin curry with duck and Pineapple fried rice (not pictured). Everything was so good. We had left overs for lunch the next day and it was still delicious. Our service was wonderful We enjoyed the food so much that we decided to go back for lunch a few days later. We ordered Whole fish in sweet and sour sauce (they cut into fillets so it would be boneless), Grilled River Prawns (new item) and Papaya salad. Again, everything was so good. Thai Hot will definitely be our go to dining spot when visiting Indio. read more

Honestly kinda suprised there is pretty authentic Thai food in Palm Springs. Got mild, but it's pretty spicy. So beware for the weak of hearts! There is so much stuff on the menu, it gets kind of confusing. We like to stick with the lunch menu- comes with salad, rice, and spring roll. Can't ever go wrong with cashew nuts chicken! The spring roll is kinda forgettable, but it's a nice addition/variety to the meal. Kinda pricey. Comes out to about 15 bucks per dish. read more

The restaurant has cute ceiling decors. Fast check in. The food was good but they did not have the wow factors. The beef was chewy. It was crowded so we did not got a lot of attention, especially from the female waitress. We had to remind them several times to refill waters, bring extra napkins, utensils. It is not worth the auto 18% tip really. read more

First time here on a Yelp search. The food was fantastic and very flavorful and authentic. Love the full flavors and saltiness, and with the combination of rice or lettuce, wraps were so good. It was a little busy and we were a party of twelve so the food took a while to get to the table. This was ok because it was worth the wait. We ordered chicken sate, egg rolls, Thai fried chicken wings, and some pork larb for apps. Then, we shared plates for the entries. Whatever you usually order, that is what we had (noodles, pork belly, curries, and fried rices). This night was a surprise and delight for a dinner outing. Delicious! read more

The food was amazing customer service was also great loved how clean it was as well I would definitely go back! Yellow chicken curry

On par with the places in Thai town. No need to drive to LA anymore! Stoked to have authentic Thai cuisine in our very own Coachella Valley. I had a craving for the basic Pad Thai and since this restaurant has been on my radar for a minute, I thought, why not give it a go! I decided to add on a Pork Larb, a more traditional dish to gauge their authenticity. I was not disappointed, the Larb (get it!!) was fantastic as was the Pad Thai. I got both dishes "Spicy" and let me warn you regular folks, this is Thai level spicy, which is more of an extra spicy. For me, it was perfect. I didn't even ask, but when I went to pick up my food, they were kind enough to offer extra chilis "in case it wasn't spicy enough". Such a nice gesture! I was pleased to find the variety of chilis one would expect in an authentic Thai place; Chili sauce, chili flakes and Thai chilis in fish sauce. The lady who rang me up and the guy who I believe may be the owner we're both so friendly! Happy I finally gave this place a go and will for sure be back! read more

Unfortunately I ordered takeout and then waited almost an hour for my food and finally left empty handed. The staff was unable to give me or others waiting for their orders any updates or ideas on timing leaving everyone else in line confused and in the dark. I understand kitchens can get busy but communication is key to at least to let people know what to expect and it was disrespectful to all those waiting to not provide a realistic time and simply leave everyone hanging. I eventually left without food and had to arrange a refund. read more

Well I hope the honeymoon's not over however we ordered takeout this evening. And I ordered the pad Thai that I loved when I first ate it inside the restaurant. I ordered cilantro I like a lot of cilantro. I was given a tiny bit of cilantro the protein was tough it was not tender and it seemed like it was not fresh and it really made me sad. read more

The service was great, no complaints there at all. The two ladies who work there seemed very nice. The ambiance was great too, felt authentic Thai. However, the food was disappointing. I had the slow roasted pork and the Tom Kha Kai soup. Didn't really enjoy them. Tom Kha Kai was too sweet and the pork meat was hard. Summer rolls and the sauces that came with it were good. Unfortunately, won't be coming back... read more

This restaurant had 4 stars - so I took my dad to try Thai food for the first time. The inside of the restaurant is clean and comfortable. BUT the food was absolutely terrible with pretty picture menus . The only thing that was edible were the tempura vegetables. The chicken wings appetizer was raw inside, the massiman curry was an inedible soup of thin coconut milk swimming in sugar and star anise. The pad thai was really awful - overcooked gummy rice noodles with a sauce that tasted like it was canned, the pineapple rice had so much turmeric in it that it was inedible so we picked out the cashews and the chicken. We worn be back. read more
