Beautiful restaurant located on commercial Blvd. YouTube would bever know how big this place is until you are inside. Indoor and outdoor seating and the lights are dim so if you need light to read the menu please bring your flashlight. Jonathan our sever was on point with the customer service while training. He was very professional and friendly. Drinks were very good I was expecting my el Diablo to be a bit more on the spicy side but it was good nonetheless. Appetizers next I would come back for the happy hour and enjoy the fresh crab rangoon and the beef satay which you sear to your liking. The soups had fresh vegetables and huge mushrooms if you like that. The wings were spicy and had a great kick. I ordered the chicken red curry, we also had calamari, and 2 other dishes that I don't remember the name but everything looked good. Well be back for live music and happy hour. read more

Service was very slow. Patrons that were sat way after us got their food before & some had finished before we got appetizers. Took over an hour before the entreès were served. Food lacked flavor. The only thing that tasted good were the crab rangoons. read more

This restaurant has received multiple dining awards and was recommended by my hotel. It is a fairly large restaurant but it is divided into quiet and intimate areas The fish tanks and soft lighting give a peaceful vibe. Service is friendly and helpful. I started with an Absolut Mango Martini. Since it was rather cool outside, I warmed up with the Tom Ka Chicken Soup. The entree was Three Buddies: Jumbo Shrimp, Scallops and Chicken. Everything had wonderful flavors, so it is easy to see why Thai Spice has received multiple dining awards. read more

Beautiful singing on Saturday night to accompany your dining pleasure. Gyoza is delicious prepared perfectly. The server we had was Chad and he was helpful with his suggestions, and very friendly. The restaurant appears small but extends to another dining room which I did not see. A little dark but well designed to reflect the Thai abidance. My wife had the grilled fish and raved about it while I had the sweet and sour pork which was very good. For dessert I suggest the tresleche which is excellent and better than most I have had. read more

My how the mighty have fallen. Thai Spice used to be the spot -- my favorite restaurant in all of South Florida. The food? Out-freaking-standing. The staff? Friendly. The vibe? The kind that makes you want to stay for dessert even when you're full. But apparently 2025 Thai Spice is playing a different game. Let's start at the beginning -- because this story deserves the full intro. My wife bought a Groupon. No big deal. We even read the fine print like responsible adults. It clearly said the blackout dates were for holiday season 2024. Well, spoiler alert: last I checked, it's 2025, so we should've been golden. Fast-forward to us driving 40 minutes (that's 40 minutes of my wife telling me how hungry she is -- so, like, 3 hours in husband time). We walk up to the door and... there it is. A sign taped to the front like a ransom letter: "Blackout dates this week." Excuse me? We ask the hostess. She shrugs. We ask the manager. He basically shrugs harder. We show them the Groupon page. They tell us it's Groupon's problem, not theirs. The restaurant was practically empty, but the vibe at the host stand was: "Pay full price or get out. We're not in the mood." My wife was livid. And rightfully so. But I love this restaurant -- or at least I used to -- so we stayed. Against her better judgment and my growing sense of dread. And then... Logan. Our waiter. The hero Thai Spice doesn't deserve, but the hero we needed. Logan deserves his own Yelp category. He was fantastic -- genuinely friendly, attentive, fast, and the exact opposite of the combative manager. If Logan ran this place, I'd probably buy a season pass. He smiled. He hustled. He cared. Honestly, he alone kept this from being a one-star "I'm typing this while fuming in my car" kind of review. Now the food: * Mee Krob: disappointing. Dry, with the proteins hiding like they owed someone money. * Wife's Panang curry: phenomenal. Bursting with flavor. Chicken was perfect. Veggies were supporting actors but deserved Oscar consideration. * My New York steak: I like it very rare, and Logan made sure it came out exactly right. The sauce was so good I briefly considered licking the plate, but my wife was already mad enough. And here's where the restaurant really shot themselves in the foot: Because of the rude treatment at the door, we trimmed back our entire order. I downgraded from the cowboy ribeye. My wife scaled down her dish. We skipped an appetizer, skipped drinks, skipped dessert -- basically cut the bill in half. Even with all that, our total was still over $110. Had they honored the Groupon, we probably would've spent closer to $200. And I've recommended Thai Spice to countless friends and colleagues over the years -- but after this? Yeah... that ends today. The food is still great. Logan is a rock star. But management? Uncaring, abrasive, and completely uninterested in customer service. It drags the whole experience down like an anchor tied to an anvil tied to a bowling ball. Three stars. Would've been five. But management earns the drop all by themselves. Logan, buddy -- you deserved better too. read more

Food: some of the best Thai food I've had in south Florida area. That whole fish with the signature chili sauce..... wowwww. And the steak? Marinated and dry aged?! Delicious. Service: really attentive. They do try to upsell you quite a bit though. For example they asked if we wanted fried rice after saying the dish came with white rice. We said yes thinking it was a replacement. But it ended up being a full order of fried rice. We ate it though and it was delicious and fresh and hot! Ambiance: dark and moody! Some of the booths had a candle lit overhead light which I'm sensitive to the flickering so they were able to move us. read more

Did a group on order $27 spent for $50 worth of food Spent another $40 with tip for extra add ons What was ordered Crab these were absolutely delicious very gooey and rolled up like gyozas. Wish there was a little bit more filling in some of them. They were a bit empty but nonetheless yummy! It comes with two sauces. The orange sauce was an absolute hit. I ended up saving it at my table to dip my chicken from my soup in it. Ordered the Tom Kah chicken soup Was spicy Chicken was bland as it was boiled. But I added that duck sauce and it was so good. Had lots of veggie was hearty Ordered the beef salad and that was sent back The meat tasted weird and come to find out it was fish sauce. It wasn't for us at all. Ordered the veggie coconut curry Had great flavor a little spicy Came with a small side of rice and a big bowl of curry. Had a lot of red peppers... a little more then my liking Took it home and added more veggies and it was good. The server pushed a little into buying the tiki tiki drink. It was a miss for us and at our cost :/ left it behind The host was a little slow in greeting us... I was standing there and finally I had to ask him " do I speak with you about my reservation?" The server was cool but she was a bit intense and wanted to go over the menu when we wanted to just look through at our leisure. She pushed us to buy a drink and didn't hear out what we liked she was just repeating her everyday lines it felt and she did the same thing with the soup... she pushed the most expensive soup that had lots of seafood and I didn't want that. But she never mentioned any other soup so when I noticed they had more options it was awkward when I ordered it. There was a big disconnect that night and it really just set the pace for us getting the rest of our meal to go. Just wasn't worth sitting there. The atmosphere is cute Lots of fish tanks Dark and romantic But loud unfortunately Expensive but I feel like you can get this from any other restaurant. The only great thing on the menu was the crab Rangoon honestly left an impression. Outside that everything was just okay. Not a great first experience and idk if I'll go back to be honest. read more

I have seen this place a million times and finally decided to go in and have dinner by myself. They open at 5pm and as I walked in everyone was so friendly. I say at the bar with Ray as the bartender, he was great I had a Thai tea and my favorite pad woonsen. I ordered medium spice and it was pretty spicy lol The meal was very large and delicious. Definitely enough for dinner tomorrow too. I asked to see the dessert menu and be brought out an entire tray normal dessert except the cassava custard so I got that it was just sweet enough and delicious. The restaurant is beautiful deep red and black motif I wanted to look through the back rooms and see what they looked like but I forgot. It's a little pricy I think it's a great date place can't wait to take my daughter. Ray told me they've been open 35 years in this location. I highly recommended! read more

Chad (our waiter) and Geronimo (the manager) were both exceptionally attentive, professional, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience. First, the fried rice was easily the best I've had in a very long time. Not your typical orange-colored, overly salty takeout rice. This was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, packed with chicken, shrimp, and even calamari. It didn't need a drop of soy sauce, which says it all. We also ordered the Seafood Clay Pot with lobster, diver scallops, and shrimp in a mild red curry sauce. Aside from the lobster (which was a bit off at first), the dish was absolutely delicious; one of the best seafood pots we've had anywhere. Chad and Geronimo handled it flawlessly, immediately replacing the lobster with a second tail that was battered, deep-fried, and tossed in the curry sauce, outstanding recovery and flavor. We finished with Thai doughnuts and condensed milk (a must) and a round of espresso martinis to close out the night. All in all, a flawless evening; great service, fresh food, and a team that truly cares. Five out of five. Highly recommend. read more

After a few years of hiatus, I ordered uber eats a week ago and then again tonight. They made huge improvement with their vegetable spring roll, huge difference..maybe a little too overstuffed with vegetables and not enough crunch. I'm happy regardless. When I placed my pickup order tonight the wait was a bit much but when I called they said they will call me as soon as it was which they did. I was waiting in my car. I asked for spicy and I got what I asked for. Vegetarian vegetable and tofu. Sooo good. I don't see myself dining in. The crowd is a bit stuck up and older for my taste. read more

Came here with a friend- highly recommended. Well- the owner- Michael- went above & beyond my expectations. I started out with grilled calamari- with a ponzu sauce & another spicy sauce. I explained I don't do well with spicy- & was told that the flavors can be made to order- mild- or hot! Fresh calamari- grilled to perfection. Delicious. Michael shared his special chicken wings with sesame- it was Amazing!!! My friend ordered the Delmonico Steak (ribeye ) looked like a huge portion. I had a taste- wow!!! Fabulous!!! Michael ordered the Grilled Salmon with teriyaki sauce- also tasted that & it was delicious. I ordered the pepper steak- sliced Fillet Mignon . Very tender & seasoned just right. Was pretty full at this point- then the dessert tray came out!!! I have no words-just look at this!!! You must try- we decided to share Cassava cake & a brownie with hazelnut gelato!!! I needed a double expresso after all that. I am now stuffed but definitely satisfied. I can see returning here often as the menu is very large & there are many choices!!! The chef- came out & I gave my compliments to him. Dennis knows his way around the kitchen. Excellent presentation on everything & you can see from the many pictures. There a 4 separate dining rooms here. Very intimate & inviting. With booths & tables. They have been around 34 yrs. It's obvious way!!! read more

Three of us enjoyed dinner at Thai Spice. The food is really very good (5 stars). There were some service irritants that lowered my rating to 4 stars. I always order Tom Yum soup when I visit a Thai restaurant and Thai Spice's is very good! It's not the best I've had, but it is good. Unfortunately our entrees came three minutes after our soup arrived and we weren't even half done. Then they kept trying to remove the soup bowls and we had to keep telling them that we weren't finished with the soup. It was frustrating. The wine pour is generous. My mixed vegetables with fried tofu was fresh and delicious. The vegetables were crunchy and the sauce was extremely good. The Pad Thai was spectacular and the portion large. The Beef Fried Rice was stellar. Again, a nice portion. A few more service issues - When the food arrives the server passes everything by the person sitting on the end of booth. This seemed a little rude. It was quite possible to pass things to the person further in the booth without bothering the outside guest. We didn't ask for our check but it was brought to us while we were still drinking and eating. It was a bit rushed. When we mentioned two separate checks, our server looked annoyed. Really? The food really was good, but for service, only 4 stars. read more

Thai Spice has been a go-to spot for Thai food lovers in Northeast Fort Lauderdale for ages. I used to be a regular, both dining in and ordering takeout when I was in the area. The spot is in a strip mall and could use a facelift, but trust me, the food is some of the best Thai you'll find around here. I haven't had Thai Spice in years since I moved, though it's only about 20 minutes away. Today, I was seriously craving some good Thai and noticed they deliver via Uber Eats, so I had to order. I went for the Samrod chicken, spicy hot, and let me tell you, my lips are still on fire--in the best way. They really nail the spice level you ask for here. I also tried a bit of the poor man's fried rice, which was solid, but the Samrod chicken is the real star. It was just as amazing as I remembered! TIP: Order during lunch (M-F 11-3) for their lunch specials. read more

Deceptive pricing. Restaurant owner clearly hides the fact that creditcard fees and sales taxes are included to calculate the tip money. The server could not show me on the menu the policy. Cartons should not pay these fees. The legislature is clear on these policies. The owner clearly likes to stuff his pockets hoping you won't find out in that dark dining room later at night. A shady restaurant and high prices for nothing o so great. Take your money somewhere else !! read more

We've enjoyed the food at this place and the service is always good but unfortunately as of late if you pay with a credit card they tag a fee for using one. I'm not sure if it's dollar based on amount spent, but in my experience a $102.50 meal for two incurred a fee of $3.95. I know some businesses charge a fee to offset the credit card processing charges and this place even gives you a cash discount but my concern is not the fee. My concern is the suggested tip. I don't believe that the suggested tip on the bill should be based on the total amount of the check, which in this case included the taxes and the additional $3.95 fee. I know it's my fault for not reviewing the bill when paying, but buyer beware and scrutinized the bills before checking out. Why should people tip on taxes and an added fee...not right. read more

Just had a delicious dinner here. First time coming and I was surprised when I walked in. The ambience is really nice with dim lighting, big fish tank, live music and a bar that you can also sit at. Our server was great, always checking up on us. I ordered the beef ginger and shrimp fried rice. Food came out quick! It was hot and fresh and a huge portion to share. Our server asked us if we wanted the food spicy and we said yes. It had a nice kick. The fried rice was honestly one of the best I've had at any restaurant. The live music and guitar was so nice. I definitely want to come back and try their steaks. Everything on the menu sounded so good. Only con is that parking is a bit tricky and small so you might have to drive around to look for a spot. Other than that, great restaurant and service. read more

It had been so long that I had been to Thai Spice off E. Commercial that I had totally forgotten how truly good it was. How long you ask?... nearly a decade and a half as I celebrated my 50th birthday there... I was truly fortunate to have a server by the name of Roy who was outstanding and guided me to try a House Special version of Seafood Tom Yum and/or Tom Yum Goong which is what I typically would opt for on a clammy rainy day as it was but this Special version was Seafood coconut milk lemongrass based version. It was absolutely delicious! so much so that I ordered another one to take home. For the entree I had the Chicken Red Panang made with Thai Hot spice level. This too was prepared off the chart exquisite! In addition I ordered a Poor Man Shrimp Fried Rice made with Fresh Thai Basil and garlic to take out and which I had at home the day after and was excellent. To accompany my dinner I had a Nigori Junmai Shu Sake along with a Thai Singha beer to refresh and cool my mouth and/palate from the Red Panang Curry. All I can say is Wow what a culinary experience and they've been there since the late 80's and we discovered it by word of mouth in the early to mid 90's. That they are still in business so many decades preparing Thai food at such a high level is something to be said for them. Kudos... read more

This has been my favorite restaurant for 35 years until now we went there last night with two other couples one person in the group what's his birthday and my wife bought a cake to serve after dinner. We had just ate there last week, and a lot of the amazing waiters have gone we had this new waitress, she was simply awful. I do not understand what Michael is doing to his amazing restaurant hiring people like that and having a really bad manager makes me want to never come back. Without telling us they charged us $25 just to bring the cake over which I thought was completely wrong. They should have told us first that's the new rules. From being my favorite restaurant I will never come back and I will never recommend this. Michael I don't know what you did to your restaurant, but keep it up and your business won't last long.
