Chilli Thai — Restaurant in Carrollton

Great hole-in-the-wall! I've been sad ever since Coconut on Belt Line closed down, but I finally found a new go-to Thai restaurant. Looks great and clean inside, but I do hate that the handwash sink in the restroom looks like a urinal. Please change that ;-; Otherwise, the place looks great.

Service is a bit weird. I mean, the waitstaff has always been nice and friendly, but they can be a bit too absent, sometimes. Also, when we ordered yesterday, the appetizer came out after my entree, and we had to wait another five or so minutes for my friend's entree (it was the two of us). Timing is the only weakness here.

My friend and I dine here about once every other month and the food is great. Combined, we have very much enjoyed the green curry, pad kee mow, soft shell crab, crab fried rice, curry friend rice, chicken lettuce wraps, crab rangoons, and Chilli Thai Volcano. Pad kee mow and green curry are sorts of comfort food for me, and it's nice knowing I can always get a good order here. The Chilli Thai Volcano is probably the most unique thing here and my favorite! It is pretty filling, though.

Speaking of, the portion sizes for the entrees here are great! They aren't so large to make you super bloated, but they are great sizes for what you pay. I know I'm being a glutton, but portion size always worries me at a new place, especially with Thai food. Appetizers are more regular size, maybe even on the smaller side, but still good.

The pictures are of the pad kee mow and the soft shell crab appetizer, not the soft shell crab entree.

P.S. Forks are the proper utensils for most Thai food, but I just ask for chopsticks because I am...

Ordered from here at least 6 times before tonights experience....

Called in order at 7:31 PM for 2 orders of veggie spring rolls and and order of the Yellow curry Chicken spicy 4. The lady confirms my order, and tells me that the order will be ready in 30 min. I go to to the restaurant and get my food, only to return home and figure out, the curry they gave me was not correct. I immediately called the restaurant, and asked what was on the ticket( thinking maybe I ordered the wrong thing), to which the man on the phone confirmed it was Yellow Curry, and after confirming what veggies were in the curry, he told me to just bring it back, show the kitchen it was the wrong order and they'd make a new one. So I head back to the restaurant, and upon getting there I showed the clerk the order, which he again confirmed they made the wrong food, and gave me the correct order. I ask about compensation for their error, and having to drive back and forth to the restaurant, to which he said that it was the best they could do. I asked him again, and he said no this is the best we can do..... I would have been happy if he would have said can I get you an appetizer, like another spring roll order - So I let him know that I would review this experience on google review. Hopefully this will be a coaching situation for the employee, and ownership will explain good customer service, as the food here is good! 2 stars for...

The wife and I have been coming here for a couple of years. It's about time I've reviewed Chilli Thai. We have always enjoyed friendy, prompt service, well-prepared dishes in a "not-too-Thai" setting.

Agree with one reviewer who said it was not easy to find being in a small sort-of strip mall. But yes, certainly worth looking for!

On our most recent visit, we had two appetizers (soft-shelled crab: YUM!!!) and split an entree. It was quite enough for us both. We asked that the heat level be "#2"on the entree. I've had Thai at other places where their menu showed three little chili peppers by the name of the dish and it'd be mild as baby food. Not so at Chilli Thai. They like their spice. Level 2 was just spicy enough to have us go "whoo!" and not needing to down a gallon of water to wash it away.

They don't serve alcohol, but you can BYOB. It's one of my favorite ways to dine anyway - so much more inexpensive. We keep coming back, and if they keep doing what they're doing, so will we!

UPDATE 7/29/16

They are in a new location: NW corner of Old Denton & Hebron Parkway. A bit more chi-chi with more emphasis on Thai decor (Buddha and elephants done Jackson Pollack) but cool.

Had a bit delay getting our appetizers out due to "take out orders" in the way. But the rest of the dining experience went smoothly. And food quality still the best.

We are still regulars here! ...
