    Thai teas - so yummy
    Apryl W.

    Thai Spoon Cafe has been our go-to Thai takeout spot in Redlands for over seven years, and it has never let us down. This is one of those places you keep coming back to because it's consistently that good. They offer both phone and online ordering, which I highly recommend since they're usually pretty busy--a great sign in itself. My absolute standout dish is the Penang curry... it's phenomenal every single time. I also love their Pad See Ew and many of their other noodle dishes--everything is flavorful, comforting, and clearly made with care. Even the Thai iced tea tastes fresh, which is such a small detail but a big win. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, whether you're picking up or dining in. Inside, there are maybe 10 tables total, and it's almost always full, which tells you all you need to know. It's tucked into a strip mall with plenty of parking, so it's easy and convenient. If you're looking for reliable, delicious Thai food in Redlands, this place is a must. We've been loyal for years, and Thai Spoon Cafe continues to earn it.

    We love coming to Thai Spoon because it's close, local, and always clean with friendly service. The prices are reasonable, and we're able to share a meal, which makes it even more affordable for our family. It's also our go-to spot on nights when I don't feel like cooking, it's an easy, reliable dinner option that never disappoints. Because of all that, this is a place we truly enjoy and keep coming back to.

    Amazing warmth welcome by Natasha with a very jolly tone greetings as we entered the restaurant! Food was delicious as expected: Beef pad see ew was rich in flavor but hoping beef could be more tender to chew! Eggplant entree served with onions, red bell pepper, mushrooms, bokchoy, carrots, brown sauce and side of white rice. Very delicious and cooked to perfection and served hot!!! Have to have mango with sticky rice!! Got so busy after our meal was served ... Must do something about the interior acoustics sound cause seemed too echoey with every conversation so loud and not a comfortable dining atmosphere !!! I had a headache !!!

    Not a big place but food is big on flavor and taste.,36 person capacity. HC parking available close by. One neutral gender restroom. Warm friendly service. Ambience feels like dining in your own kitchen. Diners come in small groups and frequent pick up orders come and go. Pad see Ew was good as always. Flavorful sauce, chewy wide noodles and baby bokchoy. Tried the eggplant dish with chicken for the first time and wasn't disappointed. Enjoyed it a lot. Will be back definitely and try other dishes.

    Was in the area before a show at Yaamava Casino Theater and was looking for a good Thai food place that was inexpensive and came upon this place on Yelp. So we decided to go check it out. This restaurant was pretty busy and small and had a few tables. We were able to be seated and ordered pretty quickly. First thing we did notice is that they get a lot of phone and app delivery orders so lots of foot traffic and it's noisy in there. The walls need more on them to reduce the echo as it's just uncomfortable with the loudness with the dings, rings, and such. Also, only one person working tables, register, and phone, so might want to get another person a headset to answer phones when they are busy with tables, just a thought. Once food came it was good and small portions so kind of pricey. But I'm assuming for the area it's probably priced that way due to the lack of competition. My husband ordered the Ba Mi Hang and he thought it was quite small and he was hungry afterwards and we ended up going next for to the donut place for dessert. His egg noodles with fish balls and bbq pork were good, but very little bok choy and only one lime wedge. I ordered Pad See Ew. This dish usually comes with Chinese broccoli and I typically ask for it on the side as I can't eat it so he will eat it. However, here they said they could not do that, so I did not get it and still paid the same price. My dish was flavorful and I did enjoy it and I felt the portion size was average. I also ordered a hot tea and was surprised when it just came with a tea bag in a cup. Most places bring you a tea pot so you can refill your cup as you go. Not sure if this was refillable as my husband did not want to linger since he was still hungry and irritated with the noise in the restaurant. We will probably not return to this restaurant anytime soon as it's just too pricey and noisy for him.

    Tom Kha Soup

    It was a cloudy, drizzly day and I thought Thai soup sounded perfect. I tried Thai Spoon Cafe on Texas St in Redlands from searching yelp. It's a cute little restaurant in a small strip mall. The young man working the front greeted me, was very welcoming and a good host. I selected Tom Kha soup. It came out fast and was delicious. I will definitely be back to try more things.

    We were a table of eight for lunch on a Tuesday. It's in an older strip mall. There were plenty of parking. Certainly not in a great neighborhood. The place itself was clean and the decor was nice. We were seated right away. Service was spotty but there was only one waiter for the whole place. We just had to ask and he would get it. We got many dishes for the 8 of us, here are the ones to get or avoid: Favorites: Pad See Ew was solid. Seasoned well. Plenty of chicken. Pad Thai: also very good. They don't skimp on the meat. Curry Puff- the rose design on the outside was splendid! The crust was flaky. The curry wasn't too spicy. Avoid: Pork bun came in a plate of one small bun for 5.95 . I couldn't tear off the paper from the bottom. The inside filling tasted pretty bad. Salted Fish Fried rice was not great. The fish was not crispy. It was chewy. The fried rice was good but this was not the best Salted fish fried rice I've had.

    My mom wanted to eat at an Asian restaurant and we decided to give it a try. Thai Spoon was a pleasant surprise. The ambiance is chill, the service is quite good, the food was served fresh and fast. Pad Thai was good, the Pad see ew was super good, orange chicken quite good and crunchy in a good way, my dad and my wife really liked the curry puff. The pork bun was just ok, but the Fried rice was also good. We thought we over ordered, but our group of eight really chowed down. Overall great service and great food. Give them a try if you want great, local, fresh Thai food.

    Appetizer spicy chicken wings

    Update because we've continued to be customers of this local business!! Order: Two sets of spicy wings Pad Thai Side of White rice Let's start by saying that as my previous review, communication is key and when an order seems off it's best to reach out for clarification. Our order was exactly as expected and we were very happy. We ordered two sets of wings. One regular and the other with no sauce (not spicy) and requested the spicy sauce on the side. They were perfect. In fact, if you want to make sure they're crunchy I would order the sauce on the side so you can dip the wings instead. ***Only complain is that they were a VERY salty. Pad Thai was delicious. I never have complains. The side of white rice also complemented it nicely. It was my husband's first time trying this location and he really enjoyed it. We ordered to go online and our order was made exactly as requested. Next time we need to dine in. Place is super cute. Love the decor and there is plenty of parking. Service: Always treated kindly when picking up orders. Thank you!

    Ba Mi Hang
    Alicia S.

    The food here is amazing! It was so good we went back 2 days in a row. My kids loved to ba mee hang. The noodles were bouncy and tasty. Another favorite is the curry puffs, which was my ultimate favorite. We had a few more orders to go. The ladies were super friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our meal very much.

    The thai place at the market smelled good but was closing. We wanted Thai food and came in on a whim. The interior is nice and I noticed Yelpers live them. The table menus had lots of pictures and the QR code revealed more options for salads. We ordered pad thai and chicken larb salad spicy with added ginger and chicken pad Thai. The food was perfect. They read my mind and offered me a side of white rice. We loved our lunch. Service was good they knew just what we needed.

    Isn't it cute!?

The flavor was good and I enjoyed them, but unfortunately they were missing one of my favorite parts of xiao long bao. The soup. There was very little to no broth inside. The braised beef noodle soup was easily my favorite dish. The broth was flavorful, the beef was tender, and it came out at the perfect temperature. My only complaint was the noodles themselves. They were pretty tangled and clumped together, almost like they had been sitting refrigerated before being added to the broth. Once separated, though, I really enjoyed the dish. We also ordered the sliced beef with hot peppers. The beef had good flavor, but I thought the sauce was a little too dry for my preference. And when they say hot peppers, they mean it, there were A LOT of jalapeños. There was also a small wait between receiving the noodle soup and the rest of our entrées, so the timing could have been a little better. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere, plenty of space, and is conveniently located near Downtown Redlands. Overall, I'm glad to see a place serving good Shanghai style Chinese food in an area where there aren't a ton of options like this. Definitely a place I'd come back to and try more of the menu. 7/10

And OMB is more vegetarian friendly. This isn't a Chinese restaurant with a thousand dishes ranging in quality. This is curated collection of classics done right: Cantonese dim sum, Shanghainese soup dumplings, and popular Chinese comfort foods. All the dumplings are made fresh. I see some reviewers suggesting they've had better elsewhere, but those elsewheres are over an hour away. I know those places and they're not worth the drive or the higher prices. There's a reason new locations of this restaurant are opening up left and right in the IE. Yucaipa just got one and they're opening another in Palm Springs in an impressive 'in the middle of everything' location. The only shortcoming of this location is it's a tad too informal for my taste. Like it's more a well lit room than a cozy area you might lounge in. However, that shortcoming is rather common in the IE where I wonder if a place looks a little posh the customers turn and run. The staff is great, the service prompt (even when busy), the boba drinks are delightful -- what's not to love? I'm certain that almost anyone who comes here will likely return. I just went yesterday and a rainbow appeared above ONE MORE BITE DUMPLING. Exactly how I feel about this place.
