    Green Curry with chicken, $10.95 lunch special
    Peter M.

    Imagine my surprise to find not only a Thai-style restaurant in Albemarle, but also one that is authentic to its cuisine. This is our second trip and not likely our last. My Pad See Ew was spot on with its sweet and umami flavors coming from the dark soy and oyster sauce. My wife's green Curry with chicken was flavorful with enough spice to remind one that you're not in grandma's southern kitchen. With both entrees, the vegetables were cut expertly, too. Mmmmm! On our two visits we were warmly welcomed, promptly seated, and happily served. What's not to like? Has my "Give 'em a Whirl" meter learning to say please (Kòo rún nah) and thank you (Khòp khun) in Thai. Go here.

    Great little quiet spot. Food is very authentic and tasty. Food came out fast, hot and fresh. The ladies were very friendly and tentative

    This is truly a diamond in the rough! The Thai food was delicious! Best Tom Kha I have ever had! Pineapple fried rice was really good too! This might be the best place I have been too in a really long time! The service was great. If I could say anything that I would change; I don't like whipped cream on my tea and it is usually a little denser, but it was still very good! Excited to come back and try their sushi too. Very reasonably priced as well! Will absolutely be coming back. 100% worth the drive from concord!

    Thai Spice never misses. I put everyone in the area onto this given any opportunity to do so. I drive here (30+ min) at least once every two weeks just for the sushi. Everything is fresh, delicious, and very fairly priced. Service is always timely and friendly. Clean and inviting.

    Best sushi in town, worth a try, have not had the Thai yet, will be back. Pho is legit

    We moved into the area about 2 years ago and being from Vietnam, struggled to find a Vietnamese restaurant anywhere! I would need to drive 45 minutes to the closest one. Not being familiar with Thai cuisine, I didn't know what to order and what to expect but we are so happy to have found this place! The first time we visited here was 2 years ago. Everything was wonderful and my picky kids actually ate their food! Because it was 2 years ago, I don't remember all that we ordered but I remembered that I ordered the pho, to see if it was as good as Vietnamese pho. It was honestly soooo good! I think about it constantly. Since the pandemic, we've been staying home but decided to venture out again yesterday. We didn't realize we arrived a few minutes before they were about to close to prepare for dinner but they still took our order to go. Hubby ordered the spicy duck and I ordered their pad Thai with shrimp and an appetizer of steamed pork dumplings with 2 Thai teas. Great portions, great flavors, great prices! We've ordered from here 2 days in a row now! We are OBSESSED with their Thai Tea! I also love that you can eat hibachi and sushi here as well. We'll definitely have to try that next time! Highly HIGHLY recommend giving this place a try! I failed to take a picture of our meals but I made sure to take pics of their menu to add to this review.

    What an awesome find. Never expected to find such a cool little spot in Albemarle. They don't have draft beer but they do have the tall Sapporo which is a great second option. Sushi roll was fresh and well made. Daily food and drink specials and when they give you a 0-5 spice rating you can count on it being accurate. From the edamame to the pad see ewe, I was pleasantly surprised. They even have a kids menu. We will definitely be back.

Once food arrived (took three trips at 4 minutes between first and last trip) we did not see the waitress until we were finished eating with drinks being empty half way through dinner (never received drink refills). After asking for boxes for takeout she came to the table with an electronic device to show the tab amount then took payment and returned with the ticket with a tip amount on it. I tipped 15% due to the terrible service only to find out later after doing the math that she had already put a 20% tip on the bill without letting us know. It was not on the electronic device nor the receipt. Very sketchy to not let the customers know that 20% tip has been added nor no signs anywhere as to automatically adding tip for parties of 6.

When I called to report the issue, I was told that our waitress had mistakenly charged me for another table's bill but that the charge had been voided and should correct itself. I monitored my account daily, but the refund never appeared. When I called back, the manager, Tabitha, reviewed the transactions and explained that while the waitress had processed a refund, she had issued it as cash rather than returning it to my card. By her own admission, it looked as though the waitress had refunded the money to herself. I was assured the matter would be resolved once the owner/bookkeeper returned from vacation and that I would be contacted. A week later, after still hearing nothing, I called again and was told by Tabitha that she was surprised the owner had not reached out, since they had my contact information. At this point, I have disputed the charge with my bank and contacted local authorities about what appears to be a fraudulent transaction. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant. Beyond the risk of fraudulent charges and mishandling of customer information, the food itself was mediocre at best. What should have been a $30 meal turned into a $96.03 headache--not worth the risk. If I could give zero stars I would.
