I recently stopped by this new Thai restaurant named Chilli Thai a family owned restaurant located off of I-635 in Irving. I was on my way to pick up a load and I decided to grab some fast food, however upon entering the parking lot, I saw a small Thai restaurant that I wanted to try instead. I am glad I did because I haven't had Thai food in a while. I was greeted warmly by the waitress and I was lucky enough to actually have a conversation with the owner as I waited on my food. I could tell that he's very passionate about his food and he takes great pride in the dishes that he puts out. He took the time to educate me on the process that goes into making different heat levels for his dishes. I didn't know there was another level past 5, Thai Hot!!! OMG. I ordered the Crab Fried rice with Chicken egg rolls at level 4. The crab was sweet, succulent and shredded finely to perfection. The flavors and heat that he put together for this combination sent my taste buds soaring. The rice was cooked and seasoned to perfection. One reason I choose Thai over Chinese is because no sauce is needed but if you get their egg rolls, you have to get an extra sweet and sour sauce to go with it. Da bomb! They need to sell that in the store. I promise I took my egg roll and scraped every little drop of the sauce that I could. Lol! I haven't had Thai food in over 3 years and I can assure you that I was not disappointed. They have been open for only a couple of months so get in there now before word gets out. The pictures enclosed don't do the dish any justice and that's my fault but I can assure you that the food speaks for itself. If you love Thai then try Chilli Thai in Irving. Not only will you get a plate of delicious food but also a...
Read moreThe food was okay. Fresh rolls were poor, rice paper burst open because it was overstuffed with lettuce. Not worth $6 for two. The crispy veggie rolls were overcooked but flavor was not bad. Wouldn't say they're worth $7 for 3. The thai basil dish had good flavor actually, i think it was $14, and appropriately priced. No complants about that. The service was not great, when I entered despite no customers being served it took a while for me to be greeted the lady apparently felt like filling the candy bowl was more important than engaging the customer. I stood for a while with no information about what was going on after telling her I'm picking up an order. I saw an older man who wasn't wearing shoes motion to her what I can only assume was to help me. So she finally went to the back. When she came back out she started tinkering with the cash register- still not saying anything and finally another woman came from the back of house with the food. Very odd interaction overall but coupled with the mediocre food I did not enjoy my experience and i will...
Read moreIf I could give less than one star, I would. Over the years, I’ve visited all of their locations in Irving, Carrollton, and Frisco. Most have since closed, and they’ve recently reopened in a new spot in Irving. The owner messaged me on yelp to try this location, so I finally visited this past Tuesday. Food: The lunch salad was bland, with watered-down dressing that lacked any real flavor. The drunken noodles were similarly disappointing—the sauce tasted diluted and didn’t deliver on taste. Service: The woman at the front seemed to be having an off day. She was unwelcoming and avoided eye contact, which made the experience even less enjoyable. Final straw: I was charged twice for my meal. Despite calling the same day to resolve the issue, nothing was done, and I ultimately had to dispute the charge with my credit card company. Overall, I’m extremely disappointed. This used to be a reliable place to eat, but it’s clear things have changed...
