Came here with some friends and had a delightful lunch! I got lunch special #14. Food was good, but served very room temperature and despite asking for medium spice level, did not have any kick to it. Salad and soup are mediocre. I would just get a lunch that is all curry/something Thai and warm next time. Service was fast. Ambiance is okay: calm, but could be a little more dazzling. read more

The staff was excellent. The ambiance was nice. Food arrived quickly but the chicken tasted old. The "medium" spice was bland. I enjoyed everything about the experience except my actual food. This place came highly recommend by a local. Maybe I chose the wrong day, or ordered the wrong thing? read more

Very affordable Thai restaurant, all the servers are super attentive and kind. The prices in Los Gatos are unheard of! Portions are huge as well, I recommend sharing the food as the portions tend to be big. Very nice and cozy place for whenever you want Thai food! read more

This place is good for an easy and quick bite. I've only ever tried 2 items from here so l can't attest much to their food but their pad thai and mango sticky rice have always been on point. The service isn't always the friendliest and the decor is pretty dated but the food makes up for it. read more

Solid thai spot that's been around for YEARS. I recommend their Tom Yum soup and Yellow Curry. Tom Yum is tangy and flavorful, served on top of a flame. Yellow Curry is slightly sweet and my go-to. They have Lunch Specials too, comes with soup and salad. read more

Thai Spice - Thai Near Me - Los Gatos, California

Very good food and quick service. Their sticky rice is the bomb! We've been going for several years now and we love it!

My co-workers brought me to this location many years ago when I had first moved into the area and this restaurant has become one of my favorite Thai restaurants since then. While I do believe that the quality has gone somewhat down in the recent years, I still think it offers good food at decent prices. The level of spice also varies - most likely due to the cook that day? I consistently ask for spicy and the level has ranged from mildly bland to barely a hint of spice. I do tend to like things on the spicier side, but that is one of the reasons I enjoy Thai food - when done right. I do still enjoy the papaya salad, the green beans with beef and some of their noodle dishes. The thai tea is always delicious and often a nice treat after hiking in the morning and stopping by for lunch. While I don't come to this location quite as often as I used to pre-pandemic, I still stop by when I'm in the area with friends. Service is usually quick and it's a relaxing atmosphere inside. Great place to have a date or to catch up with friends/family. read more

Yeah.... This place is for sure only getting 3 stars at the most.. I will say that the service was quite good, we were seated right away and brought water which is always a good sign. The flavor of the Tom Yum was excellent as well as the green curry, both great dishes. The calamari we ordered was so bad that it was inedible. Spongy cardboard fried in batter, we sent it back immediately and they honored this request which was nice. It was one of the worst dishes I've had in a long time, so that dish brought the score from a 4 down to 3.. overall - stick to the main dishes here, don't go trying random side dishes because you might regret it like we did read more

Got soup and salad before getting all the main dishes which was nice. Servers were very friendly and brought the food out fairly quick. Wasn't a big fan of the green curry but liked the noodle dishes the best! read more

I was in the neighborhood today and wanted to try out this Thai place since they serve lunch specials. I ordered the green curry and bamboo with pork and a side salad to-go. I was kind of bummed that they didn't give me the soup that it comes with. :/ However, the curry was good! read more

Delicious Thai food and great portions. We went here for dinner since we were nearby in Downtown Los Gatos. Lots of free street parking (2 hour limit until 6pm). They have an extensive menu but we stuck with the Thai classics because why not. Each of our meals costs $15 for entree for the chicken protein which is very reasonable in today's economy, and the downtown Los Gatos location. Portions were great as I devoured my pad Thai and was really full afterwards. Service was great as they checked in with us. The experience was very similar to their other Willow Glen location, so not much difference there. We were able to walk in and get seated immediately so glad we did not have to wait. read more

I was visiting from Ohio and my sister ordered a large carryout for the family. I had the garlic pepper chicken that was flavorful and juicy. The salad was fresh and the rice was fluffy. The service was excellent and the lady who served us was so helpful. The restaurant itself is tiny, but could serve as a great spot to rent out for a party. Excellent place! (P.S. The hot sauce goes well with the rice.) read more

THE FOOD IS SO GOOD I got 2 pad Thais & green chicken curry, it came out to 71$ 0_0 I think there's way to order the lunch special which would make it less but it's okay it was still good read more

Thai Spice is hands down one of our favorite restaurants. The yellow curry chicken and chicken pad thai are absolutely unbeatable--every dish bursts with flavor and is cooked perfectly every single time. The food, the service, and the people all make Thai Spice truly special. read more

We've been coming to Thai Spice since this restaurant opened, and the food is always delicious. I love Thai food and this is the best Thai restaurant I've ever been to, hands down. I love that I can get vegan dishes here with no fish sauce. read more

Thai Spice is a smaller restaurant with fair decor and dim lighting. The food was good, but the service was hard to excuse. There weren't many customers on the weeknight apart from 3 tables, but the waitress seemed to purposefully leave us waiting at the door despite being a party of 2. After we were sat, it took 15 minutes to begin ordering or even get water. Meanwhile, the waitress liberally topped off other tables and serviced them multiple times. 30 minutes before closing, a staff member informed the only other table in the restaurant apart from ours that they would be closing the kitchen, and that it would be the last call for any desserts. He took the time to explain dessert favorites but didn't so much as glance toward my table's direction despite the restaurant being empty at that point. I won't say the staff were intentionally rude but I felt like a low priority as a customer when the business was far from busy. read more

Now I would tell you don't eat there. The wait staff seems unhappy to be working and making money there. But the food is excellent. Great tastes. Nice flavors. Basil chicken is wonderful explosion of tastes. The pad keeps mao is nice and tasty. The place is kind of old looking. Worth a visit as the food is good. read more

Good quality Thai food. Tom Ka soup is very tasty . Also the Red Curry is awesome and the hot spicy is great.

Greed authentic Thai food !! Highly recommend and I'll definitely be back ! 5 stars !!!

I lived in Los Gatos and Thai Spice was my go-to Thai take-out restaurant. I've tried the other Thai restaurants in the area, and this place has the most standard menu that you'd expect from a Thai restaurant. The prices are decent for Los Gatos as well. Don't expect a fancy ambiance like some of the other restaurants on Santa Cruz Blvd. This place is solid! read more

Stopped by for a work lunch and they were able to accommodate a large party (with reservation). There's no parking lot though, so you'll have to park on the street nearby and walk over. Inside the restaurant is fairly small. We each ordered an entree, plus some chicken skewers and calamari to share. Chicken skewers were meh, chicken was kind of dry. Someone ordered a tom yum soup which was actually a large portion and great for sharing. The pad see ew was decent though nothing too special, not super flavorful, but a very large portion size. There's plenty of lunch specials that are a great value, but none of the dishes stood out to me. All in all, it was a decent Thai restaurant but not my first pick if I were craving Thai food. read more

Our FAVORITE Thai restaurant. I am obsessed with their tempura vegetable appetizer and fresh spring rolls, served with a lovely plum sauce and peanut sauce. I make sure to start with those and some Tom Kha Gaj soup. For mains, I recommend the Pad Thai, Pompano Delight fish dish, green curry, and pineapple fried rice. We travel almost an hour because Thai Spice is way better than our local Thai restaurants. read more

Simply the very best Thai food. I have never ordered anything that wasn't FANTASTIC ! AUTHENTIC THAI FOOD YUM read more

I must say- I was skeptical at first because I'm so rarely impressed by Thai food. I have the unpopular opinion that it's hard to find exceptional Thai food but LET ME TELL YOU!!! This place is SO GOOD! The panang curry so good, but the tum kha soup was probably some of the best I've ever had. The absolute best dish we ordered was the sizzling tofu!!! Do yourself a favor and give this place a visit for fast service and the best sizzling tofu ever!!! read more

Thai Spice is my favorite Thai spot by far! They have a few tables for sit down dining in Los Gatos, but I usually order to-go. My order is typically ready within 15 minutes for pick up. They are really quick and their overall service is great! I love to order their yellow or green curry with chicken (you can request how spicy you'd like it). Their pad se ew also always hits the spot, so filling! Their portions aren't too big or too small, they are just right! Great Thai spot, I'm a loyal customer! read more

This beef pad thai--a flavorful delight from the first bite to the last! The bold pad thai noodles set the scene, accented by crunchy bean sprouts and tangy green onions. The tofu and eggs mellow out the flavor of the dish to highlight the beef. With its smoky overtones, the beef deftly enriches the whole dish, rightfully taking center stage as the star of the show. The beef is well-done (just a little bit dry), and the portion sizes are generous; this is enough food for two people to share. On the side, you'll find a little chili sauce, some crushed peanuts for garnish, and a lemon wedge--great if you want to add more heat, crunch, or tang to your pad thai. I ordered at the restaurant around 7 PM and picked up my takeout within ten minutes--enough time to take a brief stroll around downtown Los Gatos and enjoy the lively outdoor dining scene in the warm sunset light. read more

Delicious pad Thai, but they couldn't make it spicy enough for me. They also got my friend's pad Thai order wrong, so I ate most of her veggies. Haven't been here in years but was good to try again. read more

This place is a scam. Ordered the food through their website in Los Gatos location only to know it's been prepared in San Jose. No apologies, no reimbursement, no nothing. They don't even acknowledge their fault as it's a norm. Awful stuff. Don't bother going to this place. read more

Thai Spice is a small casual restaurant with a large menu of the usual Thai (and a few Chinese) dishes. My wife and I live nearby and have gone there occasionally over the years for dine-in and take-out meals. The food has usually been ok but the table service has been erratic. Prices have always been reasonable (at least by Los Gatos standards) given the portion sizes. In our opinion, it's an average neighborhood place but we wouldn't go out of our way to dine there. Our latest meal was a takeout order of BBQ chicken ($13.95) with jasmine rice ($2.50) and a side of 3 veggie egg rolls ($9.95). The boneless, skinless chicken pieces were marinated in a very mild sauce and then grilled. The chicken was tender but the sauce was a bit too sticky-sweet. We both liked the egg rolls, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside. One meal was plenty of food for both of us. The place was empty and tables in the main dining room hadn't been set when I picked up my order at 6pm on a Friday, which is unusual for a downtown Los Gatos restaurant. There is no outdoor seating. It was reassuring to see that the staff wore latex gloves and masks. But we were concerned when we noticed afterwards that the restaurant was rated poorly in its most recent health department inspection (March 8, 2022). A total of seven health code violations were recorded including unclean equipment and utensils, inadequate knowledge of food management, and unapproved thawing of frozen food. Yuck! I wish we checked before ordering because I'm sure we would've avoided the place based on that score. (If you're interested, there's a handy link to health department reports in the Yelp reviews for many restaurants.) My rating of average should probably be lower after reading the health department report, but their previous reports have been good so this one may just be an anomaly. read more

Our consistent go to Thai place in Los Gatos, more affordable and high quality especially compared to the snazzier Thai places in town. Favorites include the angel wings, which are lightly fried chicken wings stuffed with a fantastic mix of meat and bean noodles with a sweet dipping sauce; the coconut tom kah soup, which comes with lots of chicken, baby corn and carrots in a rich broth which can be medium or very spicy as you wish; the pad Thai, which is perfectly seasoned unlike many places which make it too bland or too sweet, and has plenty of (choice of protein). The decor is charming and quiet, with many Thai artifacts and furnishings. Well located on the main Los Gatos street so you can drop in after shopping or running errands. Friendly staff and a parking lot next door. A really nice neighborhood restaurant which has been here for many successful years! read more

I was at this restaurant a couple of days ago. The food was awful. I had egg rolls (soggy), coconut soup (tasted like water), chow mein (was greasy, with little pieces of chicken tasted like chuck). But service was good. The person serving was very nice and attentive. I will not go back there. read more

This location has been here for more than thirty years and I have been coming here for almost thirty. Yes, I know I completely aged myself in this review! The HGTV review: The only things I dislike are the new seating arrangement, lighting, and paint on the walls. The wall should be knocked down to combine both seating areas and make it more open. As it is right now, it leaves the main room too crowded and difficult to pass through. I liked the previous way how it was decorated and well-lit. It was more formal and elegant, but not stuffy. The walls were a light color. Food: Always a 10/10. I come here when I want to eat more traditional style Thai cuisine. The servers are mindful to ask questions about how to calibrate the heat by asking about the level of spiciness you prefer. When it's hot, it's really hot! About 15 years ago, some new server didn't and I ended up spitting out my too hot papaya salad! The food was delicious but the level of the spiciness was torturous for me! I love their panang curry with pork, different kinds of rice, and chicken with bell peppers, basil, and cashews, Tom kha soup, and desserts. The simpler, the better: sticky rice with mango and condensed milk. read more
