We visited Thailand 6 months ago and have been craving Thai food. What a happy treat! We were transported right back with this food. We got the Pad Thai and Pad Woon Sen. It was so tasty and authentic. Fun twist with the fried flour tortilla! We had a nice chat with the owners about our trip, very personable people. HIGHLY recommend. read more

Thai Spice - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

I would love to rate this more but I can't. The owners are the nicest people and provide great and welcoming service. The food just isn't great. It's ok. We got the crispy rolls and they were bland if not dunked in sauce. Zero flavor. The pad thai was just not flavorful. A little peanut flavor but that's it. The best part of it was the fried tortilla it was served in. The yellow curry was ok. Not great not bad. Lastly, the bathrooms were old and dirty. For a place that represents itself as higher end and charges those kids of prices, it should be better. read more

I went to Thai Spice for the first time, it was a great experience. The waiter was efficient and very nice. The food was outstanding! So delicious, I had pineapple fried rice with chicken. It's small and cozy. read more

Overpriced and below mediocre food. Pad Siew Ee, another chicken dish with 5 chicken wings from Costco came out to $60. There were hidden charges like other people mentioned. It would be typically be $30 elsewhere. Portions were really small too, but I good presentation. read more

Absolutely outstanding food. And I don't usually care for Thai. Husband and wife own the place. She cooks he entertains. I highly recommend this place. read more

So so so sad to say that this place has gone down in quality, service and everything. I have been eating here since their old location on SPID and the couple (and their daughter) were always so wonderful. Food was always fantastic, service even better. We went today and thugs were bringing out the lackluster food. Sadly we won't be coming back! read more

Food is nothing like Thai. The worst curry we ever had. The lemon grass soup was just soured up with lemon juice and not a single lemon grass leaf was in the soup! Service was the worst ever we received from a restaurant! It is family-run and every member of family comes to your table! The rude big mamma comes at the end to your table and forces you to pay 20% tip whether you liked their service/food or not. They charge for sharing food and for using credit card. They had plugged in air fresheners which is very odd for a restaurant. I guess they were trying to hide some bad smell! Do not go wasting your money in this place. The food is awful quality and definitely no Thai ingredients were in there. You have to pay $4 "upcharge" for each course if you share - a definite rip-off! Fast foods are much better than this place -- in service, quality, and taste. read more

It's been 10 years since I dined at this local gem! Very little has changed and seeing Ms Penny and Mr. Paul still grinding was such a great sight to see! Thai Spice is the definition of a local favorite that has traditional favorites with a twist. I am so happy to see them still open and wish them nothing but continued success!!! If you visit CC this restaurant is worth the trip downtown. read more

Wow the food was delicious and the service was great! I expected a much bigger bill so that was an added bonus! Well worth the wait if there's one. The only suggestion I have is turn up the AC (it was little warm) and increase the volume on music. read more

Our first time here, it was lovely and three different people who worked there interacted with us, they were all warm, friendly, and helpful with diet restrictions as our group was primarily vegetarian. My son loved the vegetarian kids meal and I was happy to see it included such a variety with fruits, well prepared veggies, tofu, spring rolls, rice, etc. We all loved the crispy tofu appetizer and ended up ordering a second one. So happy with the vegetarian and even vegan options, everything was well prepared and delicious! read more

So over price guys! Went there for a to go lunch during our Corpus trip. Order a pineapple fried rice and 1 pat kee mao, the lady ask what kind of protein we want, we thought it come with the price of 18$ something each. But no, one choice of meat will added +8$ to the original price. So if you choose to have beef and shrimp with your Fried rice, expect to pay 35$ for your plate of Fried rice. Same rule apply to the Pat kee mao. And don't expect big plate, no! And if you expect this is a high end type of restaurant, also no. The good thing about this restaurant is the location. The seller was not happy for us asking about the bill. Never experience such this pricy and pissed like this with other thai resturant before! read more

In town for a conference and decided to walk here with some friends. Menu seemed a bit pricey, but we ordered anyway. Charming atmosphere, but the restaurant itself was very cramped. Ordered vegetable Pad Thai, which tasted great and had very nice presentation! I'm only giving three stars because when we went to pay (we split the bill) a friend was unable to use a card because her purchase (~$7) was less than $10. This also wasn't noted anywhere until we went to check out. I offered to pay for her and be reimbursed later, but upon finding out that she had also been served a personal cup of soup (which I and another person was as well), her cost suddenly jumped to over $11. Be mindful of payment methods here and ask explicit questions about charges that may be unexpected! read more

Didn't expect to stop here but it was the only restaurant with the "open" sign glowing and I was starving from my trip. The chef personally took my order. I'm not sure if that was normal or I was one of two people dining in the restaurant. The presentation of the food was amazing but most importantly the food were delicious! read more

Located in downtown Corpus is a gem from Thailand. Penny and a Paul are to wonderful people and will treat you like family. I have followed her through her three locations over the past 20 years. She even gave me cooking lessons on my 30tb birthday. Yum Nur is my favorite. I've overheard guys in the Navy eating here and telling her it's the most authentic food they've had since West Pac. Good portion sizes with tons of flavor. One of the few places in Corpus with exceptional food. Stop by while you're walking the shoreline for some great food! read more

I found this gem while visiting Corpus and staying in a bayside hotel, and I'm glad I did. I was actually walking to go past it to a Vietnamese place, but decided to stop here instead. The owner was very friendly, and the Yum Nua was OUTSTANDING. It was authentic flavors and spices like I'd had years ago in Thailand, and served with fresh pineapple and mango. Paired with a dry and cold Singha, it was fantastic - the best Thai food I have had in a decade or more, hands down. One word of caution - here, Thai hot means THAI HOT, so don't feel the need to impress yourself or anyone else. I overheard several customers talking to their server, dissatisfied with the level of spice. Somehow Thai peppers in good Thai cooking hit different - I love it, flavor-wise, but it is not like eating jalapeños or habañeros. Even if you've done Thai hot at another restaurant. . . just try spice level 2 or 3 to start. PLEASE heed my warning. I wish I'd taken a picture of the Yum Nua, because the presentation was beautiful. But, I was hungry, and it smelled awesome, so I dug in. And I was VERY glad I did not insist on Thai hot when the owner talked me out of it. read more

Best Thai food I've ever had. The owner was our server who was so incredibly sweet. Our friend brought us here and said it was the best Thai food he ever had and we were not let down. Service was great. Very clean environment. I got the red curry, my husband got the green curry and the spice levels were spot on. Flavor was great, veggies and chicken were cooked perfectly. Came with rice and a quarter of a super fresh pineapple. Will be coming back any time we're back in Corpus. 10/10. read more

This place blew me away. The owners have been here for 20 years, and their passion for their cuisine comes out in their food. VERY fresh ingredients, perfect balance of flavors, and the decor is refreshing and calming. I consider myself a somewhat Thai food enthusiast, and I never imagined finding the best Thai food I've had in Corpus Christi, TX ‍ EAT HERE!! P.S. - Just as we were warned, the Green Curry really is VERY spicy (and DELICIOUS!) read more

A little spendy: $55 including tip for two lunches and two sodas but pretty much worth it. Very tasty and spiced just right. The free house vegetable soup was a nice surprise and very good. Good service and nice ambiance. read more

I wouldn't hacr given them such bad rating had it not been for swindling billing practice. - I ordered 2 dishes for me, my husband and my kid. Nobody told us that sharing a dish would mean extra $4 in the bill. Never heard such charge and it was deliberately hidden until u go to pay. - No systematic computerised bill. Back of the napkin hand written calculations. - last straw on the back of already broken camel: Tip and service charge of 20% for more than 2 ppl in the party. That seems ridiculous to me. On top of this, if you ask questions, really awful language to hear. read more

Great food and great service. Owners were very friendly and nice. Best place I have eaten in Corpus thus far.

My advice to not go eat there. $71 for 1 entree and 2 drinks And they added their own gratuity of $10. Horrible food I left there like I had been ripped off. And cannot get over it. They don't deserve a star.I'm just doing it because that's the only way I can leave a comment read more

I love this place . Came here a few years ago with my husband and knew I wanted to come back . I'm back in Corpus for the day and didn't want to miss the chance of a wonderful lunch . The food is perfectly prepared and presented . I don't believe I have stopped mid meal to write a five star review for anyone. The place is run by a couple who have been there probably from the very beginning and have establish this is a very friendly warm family oriented dining experience. The food is outstanding. I had spring rolls bake with Crisp on the outside and head beautiful fresh vegetables on the inside. I ordered a green tag Cody that was outstanding and spot on with the flavors and the heat. Definitely a place to visit When in Corpus Christi. Enjoy the photos read more

Went here all the way from Houston to Corpus Christi for vacation, and the environment/ambiance was calm and nice. The place is clean, and the food is good. However, the food was not spicy from my experience since it tasted more like pepper was sprinkled or so instead of spicy chilies being used. The owner was really nice and generous to customers, and the food was presented really nicely. read more

Serviced Suck. Reminded me of Prison eating in Chow Hall with the general population, dealing with their waiters. My Pad Keo Mao looked like Taco Salad with Jalapeño's, Guacamole, and some other mex crap with Thai food?! Noooo... and when I asked, to get my money back. They said, no. read more

This was by far the BEST Panang Curry I've ever had. Even the presentation was phenomenal! With our meal came a piping hot, delicious house vegetable soup. It had watermelon rind in it- we would never have guessed it! It was so yummy my mom and uncle ordered another bowl of it. But this is where they lose a star. Before you go, know you will spend no less than $20 at minimum. It was $54 for two of the House vegetable soups and a Beef Panang Curry (we ordered waters and this did not include the tip). That is pricey for some lunch soups and a single curry in my opinion, but it was nonetheless delicious and filling. I read in other posts that there is a $4 charge to share food, which I also think is off-putting. But aside from that, the portions were generous and the staff very friendly. The atmosphere is nice as well, decorated with Thai art and artefacts. The owner/chef was there as well. She was beyond friendly and was so kind to wish us well during this difficult time in the hospital time with my terminally ill grandfather. We will definitely be returning as we were blown away with the quality of their food. read more

This place was a letdown for us. We drove from Boca Chica for several hours and were looking forward to some good Thai food at this place. We ordered the chicken satay, fish cakes, crab fried rice and the flounder. None of the dishes were good. The crab fried rice , satay, fish cakes were pretty average and didn't have much flavor. The flounder was terrible... to be honest I thought it was spoilt and I didn't eat more than one bite since it tasted a smelt terrible. I was pretty disappointed and the place was also pretty expensive and I spent around $100 for lunch. Cannot recommend and not sure how it has so many positive reviews. read more

We were the only people in the restraint and it took them 15 mi to acknowledge our presence and then another 5 to get us water. Terrible service, we left before we even ordered. read more

I was craving for Thai food in Corpus Christi and didn't know where to go. Of course my Best Friend Yelp is there to help me out. Thai Spice pop up on my search and after reading the mix review I've decided to give it a try. I walked into Thai Spice and it wasn't busy at all so I was thinking maybe I beat the dinner rush which is great. A gentleman came and greet us, he was really friendly. After placing our order, I saw him talking to the other customers.. Talking about customer service. Our appetizer came out.. I was blown away. The chicken wings was filled with flavor and a kick of spice to it. It was so yummy and love the flavoring to the chicken. Next our soup was the next dish... Love! Love! Love! After that all of our main dish came out. Everything was so delicious & a perfect on presentation. You can tell the Chef Penne pour her heart out on making every dish picture perfect & satisfying to the tummy... I can't wait to go back because Chef Penne has design a great dish for me to try next time... read more

This is a hidden gem. When we first arrived, we were the only ones there, but that changed shortly thereafter. The gentleman that greeted us had the best smile! He was so kind and friendly. The environment was perfect for three people to have a conversation without having to scream at one another. The service was stellar and the food was oh sooo good! The presentation was so pretty, we didn't want to eat it! We come here every year or two for a conference. This is on our list to return to for future conferences! read more

By myself and needed a quick lunch. Thai food! The decor is exactly what you would expect from a family owned restaurant. Ordered and food was out quickly. Started with a tasty soup. The pad Thai presentation was beautiful, plated very nicely. Unfortunately, for my taste, very bland. 3 little cups of Thai chili paste made things much better. I love Thai food. Even the lunch special was priced a little high, but it's worth it. If your downtown, this place has very good ratings and just might tickle your tastebuds. read more
