The Spice Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Ames

Amazing, flavorful, fresh Thai Food! I have been coming here since they opened and have yet to have a meal I didn't thoroughly enjoy. Some of my favorites include: Green Curry - sweet, spicy and full of fresh veggies, Three Flavor Fish - sweet, sour and spicy - loaded with flavor from basil and cilantro and Pad Thai - who doesn't love pad thai with peanuts?! I noticed some reviewers have commented on the pricing, in comparision to other restaurants in the area, I don't feel that The Spice is overpriced. The average meal is around $13.50 - $14.00, unless you want Duck or Fish. In my opinion, taking the portion sizes and freshness into consideration, I think the prices are very reasonable. They might be more expensive than some of the cash only Asian restaurants in town, but its also a much different dining experience and higher quality meal. I highly recommend this restaurant for a nice night out and take friends and family here whenever they come to visit from out of town. This has been a great addition to the Main Street area...

I went to Thai Spice for lunch and it was my first time there. I asked the server some questions about the menu and her answers were very vague like she had very little knowledge of the items on the menu, she said the two things that were very clearly stated that I could read just fine. She didn't really interact with myself or my group or tell us what the lunch special included. When we asked her for extra sauce she just brought us a sauce dish but no sauce. Then we clarified that we wanted more sauce she looked at us like a deer in headlights. It took her forever to get us a refill on water and she rarely checked on us. We were not asked if we wanted anything else or if we were even enjoying our meal. The lunch hour was very slow so maybe she was just having an off day but for the price of the food I would have appreciated better service. Overall the food was great but the service really...

Easily the best Thai in town. On my fairly frequent trips to larger cities, I try to find a Thai place to eat at, and even with all the other places I've been, The Spice is still a stand-out. The food is always good quality and it's evident great care goes into preparing each dish. The Spice is one of the classier Thai restaurants I've been to, and the prices reflect that - usually a couple dollars more than some of the more "standard" places. Last time I got the Pad Thai for dinner, which I believe was $12.50, but I got 3 meals out of the generous portion. Service has always been good - they were happy to accommodate my boyfriend's request for the chicken to be non-breaded. Atmosphere is quiet and intimate - not really a place for large, noisy groups. Great place for a nice...
