I’m not used to Thai food so I was a little worried, but this place is awesome!! The pineapple fried rice with seafood is incredible and my husband loved the duck noodles. I would definitely come back.
This is my favorite restaurant in SF for sit-down dinner. Nice atmosphere, fantastic food (definitely try the chef specials!) great flavors and quality on all the classics, perfect for a date or a business meal.
We ordered The thai noodle, green curry, yellow curry and spring roll. All were good. The staffs were friendly & welcoming. Service is fast. Lovely restaurant decoration.
The food reaches the standard of well-prepared Thai. Use of quality ingredients is apparent in clean taste. The price point, however, seems to cover more for the cleverly designed West Elm-meets-Bangkok interior rather than an above-and-beyond menu.
Thai Boat Noodle Soup, as expected — nothing above or below ordinary. Crispy Roll, not so different from regular vegetarian egg rolls. All together, $30 before tax and tip.
A nice option for a slightly elevated Thai experience that doesn’t necessarily break the bank; but a bit pricey still.

The food is amazing, try the Drunken Noodle in Spicy if you are ok with it, tastes better. The portions are great and they don’t hold back on the goodies. The mule was also good.
-1 star: our friends order did not arrive until all other three of us had finished eating.
-1 star: it was impossible to get something to drink after initial order because nobody was coming to check on the table, waving them down was not easy as well.

OVERALL: 4/5
Food: 5/5
Service: 3/5
Ambiance: 5/5 - Clean & Fresh
The food was absolutely amazing. The best Thai food I have eaten in the city.
We had
- Samosa - Crispy and piping hot. Served with a sweet cucumber/onion salad
- Drunken Noodles - We had the vegetable version. Delicious!
- Spicy Basil Chicken - Minced chicken and bell peppers. Yummy!
- Green Curry - Vegetable version. So light and fragrant.
For such a wonderful place, it was unfortunate that the service was not up to par with the food and ambiance. They seemed under staffed as the service was very slow and distracted. They forgot one of the item we ordered (and did not apologize for it). Overall the lack of good service took away from the entire experience. I hope they can correct this issue as I love the food.

My favourite restaurant in San Francisco in terms of the food simply outstanding the chefs do a great job in delivering a unique culinary experience and the presentation was outstanding . The food tasted unique and was even better than the food I had in Bangkok.
I have been to Thai Spice a couple times now - once in the evening with friends, when the restaurant was packed and again as it was time for the restaurant to open. Oh and I cannot forget about the times I ordered DoorDash from here either (loll).
Both times, I have been to this restaurant, I have loved their food.
To be completely honest, after my first visit to Thai Spice, all I could think about was my next visit so I could reorder their Khao Soi. I mean this in the best way possible - their Khao Soi is great as is but another kind of amazing as leftovers. There is just something about allowing both the regular and fried egg noodles to fully absorb the flavorful broth that fully brings the dish together. Between the stewed beef or chicken as protein, I personally prefer the beef (sorry tofu, perhaps next time).
Other menu items I have tried are: their Fresh Shrimp Rolls, Cha Cha Chaa, Crab Rangoon, Tom Kha, and Tom Yum. For the most part, they are solid dishes. Only comment would be that the Cha Cha Chaa and Tom Yum are a tad too salty unless you have a side order of rice or noodles to go alongside these dishes.
