Quick dinner and delicious flavors is how I would explain this restaurant. You know it is a great establishment when you see people coming in constantly on a Thursday night both for seating and pick up. Plenty of space and seating for large groups, we had a party of 7, prices are fair, food order was exactly as ordered , staff is friendly, but food is phenomenal and so flavorful! The menu is huge with plenty to choose from, so no shortage of options. If I am ever back in the area I would definitely return and don't let the strip mall space fool you.

Crispy pork noodle.  Yum!

We were spending the night in Indio and looking for a good place to have dinner. We arrived at 5 PM on a Sunday night. The restaurant was about half full. We were quickly greeted and seated in a booth and provided water and menus. We ordered a spring roll, which came out quickly and was hot and crispy. For our entrées, we had the crispy pork belly noodle, and the ginger stir-fry with the duck. Both of the meals were very good. We like how so many of the meals come with your choice of meat. The duck was good but did have some chewy parts in it. I might try a different meat next time. Everything tasted fresh and came out quite hot. The staff is friendly. We would definitely come back here again. By the time we left around 6 PM, the restaurant was full! This is a popular place.

C8 Pumpkin Curry - GF with soft tofu
Thelma A.

This is the best Thai restaurant in the desert. Hands down. Fresh, quality ingredients, and authentic flavours. So many vegetarian options, which makes me happy. And plenty of seafood options to make my parents happy! Their lunch special is great, but I love an entree sized portion of pumpkin curry at dinner. I've had takeout and dined in, and both are great experiences. The takeout is always wrapped up nicely and no spills! Love Thai Hot!!

Peanut sauce stirfry

Food is spectacular! On point. Second time here. I think the best in the valley! We like spice and each dish came out spot on.

House Salad

We came at around 7 pm on a Saturday and were seated quickly. It was a bit of a rush when we got there, so the service was a little slow. We ordered: - Appetizer Sampler. I really enjoyed trying some appetizers I haven't had before, like the fish cake and the shrimp cake. - House Salad. Good portion for the price. It came with 2 dressings, and I couldn't decide which I liked best. - Pad See Ew with Beef. It was a huge portion and came out steaming hot. The flavor was a little off from what I'm used to and the beef was kind of chewy, but the hubby really liked it. - Stir-fried Spicy Ginger with Shrimp. Also came out steaming hot but not as big of a portion and only 6 shrimp, though they were big. I was expecting more of a ginger flavor (there was none) but it was flavorful in a different way. Not very spicy despite the name. They have Thai cooking shows on the TV and there's plenty of seating in both booths and tables. They also had music playing. They serve alcohol if that's your thing.

First of all i was so exhausted stress and drained to the point that i can almost cry! But we ended in this resto! We are from LA so coming from 3 hours away and super hungry and was so surprised how delicious their food was! Probably best thai food we had. We had coconut fresh juice but we didn't get to take photos. The service is above and beyond i forgot her name. She looks young and pretty it was Saturday 4/11 at around 2:23 pm. I don't know how it started but i kinda mentioned about my wristband pass to Coachella event and i was so nervous that i thought i might have got scammed but thankfully i was able to get replacement for that. She was so helpful emphatic friendly and nice which is not part of her job! But yea! She was awesome! i just want to update her i did got in! And i appreciate her kindness! I am looking forward to eat here again whenever I'm in the area.

Absolutely delicious! This is a consistent must stop for us when in the area. The service is phenomenal and they do an excellent job making dishes spicier as needed. You can try anything on the menu and you can't go wrong. We're working our way through it and each dish has been as spectacular as the next!

Salad Menu 9.2025

I came here with my mother and I felt that the food was very good! I eat a lot of thai and it felt quite authentic. The menu is quite extensive, but we ordered a lunch special of the pad see ew and I got a woon Sen which is the clear noodles and vegs. We also got a small tom yum soup with all the meat. The inside is spacious and good for groups for a date. There's even a photo of Justin Bieber on the wall so that's always cool if you are going to Coachella or something. The service was OK - there was only one waitress and I think only one cook and they were both busy with a a few customers at tables. So I get it they were busy and I was still taken care of. I would definitely be back and take my family here again when I'm in the area.

Pumpkin curry
Michael E.

Pleasantly surprised at Thai Hot restaurant. It was out first time here and the food was prepared beautifully and served nicely. The atmosphere was comfortable and interesting with unique hanging decorations from the ceiling. I ordered Drunken Noodle. It was fantastic with a generous portion of chicken throughout and basil adding a great flavor. My wife ordered Pumpkin Curry and it was served in a beautiful copper bowl with handles. Sliced carrots, red bell peppers, chunks of fresh pumpkin. Definitely a place we'd visit again.

N3 Pad Thai (chicken)

Not that many servers so it took a bit longer to get them to our table when we needed something. But overall food was delicious and would definitely recommend anyone that wants Thai Food in Indio to go here! Chicken Pad Thai was so good, especially with the lime, beansprouts, and peanuts on the side. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Seafood Tom Yum soup is a must try (if you're into seafood). The spice level is pretty mild/medium so if you're ok with spice, you would like this. Pineapple Fried Rice (not pictured) was really delicious as well. The rice itself was perfectly soft (not dry but not TOO moist), and everything complimented each other really well.

I always feel welcomed upon entering and the service is always great and attentive! The restaurant itself is spacious and easy to get around, with some TVs playing live games. We ordered the Tom-Yum soup and Pad Thai today. We usually order their Papaya Salad and Fresh Spring Rolls as our appetizers but we decided to order something new! The Tom-Yum soup is good, but I do believe it's missing some tart/sourness that you'd taste in other traditional Tom-Yum soups, however it's packed with lots of chicken and mushrooms, so that's an A+ in my book! And of course the star of the show, the Pad Thai. You can definitely taste the authenticity of this dish here, it's sweet, savory, nutty, and very aromatic! It was also nice and smoky, you can definitely tell that it was cooked on a wok. They are very generous with their portions as well. All in all, love this place, if you're ever craving Thai food, and you are nearby, My Thai should be on the top of your list :)

They even charged me for food they didn't even deliver. When I expressed I never got the food yet she charged me she tried to get me to pay for someone else's food. I told her that was not my bill.

LOCATION: Nice shopping center location, very open with lots of parking. FACILITY: Very nice, not modern inside and has not changed since they opened but totally fine. MENU: Lunch menu is kind of limited but has all the goodness and noodle choices you'd expect. Not much savings for lunch special. FOOD PREP: Very well done for such a small kitchen. FOOD QUALITY: Really good for what it is, I would have liked a bit more spice or to at least to have been asked for spice level options. I'd say spice level was like a 1 at other Thai places. Rice noodle was great. WAITSTAFF: We arrived at open 11:30am, very nice and attentive getting us seated and order in, then they were packed. Only one person on the floor doing everything, he was amazing dealing with seating, orders, and payment. OVERALL VALUE: It is fair but not inexpensive, a good value for sure for our local place that is reliable and consistent. TIP: This is a small restaurant so be kind, when busy they can only go so fast getting your food delivered or the check, They do take out as well.

We got the strawberry drink back and it was an orange hue. I told her it was not strawberry and she insisted it was. I took a sip and it tasted STRONGLY of orange. I told her lady who made it if she did not believe me she should take a sip. She then finally showed me the puree can she was using. She said she had run out of the strawberry and that she used just a tiny bit of another puree tub. It was kumquat ( orange ) and the puree was not real fruit. I requested she make another drink and if she didn't have strawberry to make another avocado. She kept indicating it was such a small amount of the kumquat it should not change the taste and I needed to just drink it. I insisted that is not what I ordered. She kept saying she didn't have strawberry puree. I had the front desk lady confirm I was getting the drink I wanted as the other lady was dismissive. I got another strawberry drink. Looks like she had more puree ( not real fruit) and she just didn't want to open it. Sadly I don't think I will eat here again. And I think a health inspector should visit this place.

The restaurant is hard to find in the huge building and we ultimately had to ask directions but that's a minor detail. And if we had come through an entrance closer to the actual restaurant that might have been different. One thing that gave me pause is you can smell cigarette smoke going through the main casino building but thankfully the restaurant air was fresh with no detectable smoke odor. I suspect a positive air-flow system which is good. The restaurant interior is roomy, clean and pleasant with Oriental style decor which is nice. The staff were warm and inviting right from the person that greeted us at the entrance, throughout our meal and just as gracious upon our exit. We were there during the lunch menu which of course is limited but plenty of appealing choices. I ordered Twice cooked pork which though I have made myself I don't recall ever ordering it in a restaurant. My dish was very tasty with plenty of tender pork slices and filling enough I didn't want dessert. My lunch partner had Kung Pao chicken which looked good though I didn't taste, but he thought underwhelming, bland and average at best. If only going by my experience I would have given 5 stars but I have to take into consideration the opinion of my lunch partner for the benefit of anyone reading this review. I would eat there again but not likely anytime soon as it is an unnecessarily long drive when there are plenty of Asian restaurants that I like within my local area. Good but not 60 mile round-trip good.
