Hot Spice Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Irving

Wow, one of my clients told me about this place yesterday. So I sought it out, and here I am. I arrived around 1:00 pm. I was hoping that the restaurant was busy. It seems the name was recently changed to Hot Spice Thai. When I opened the door I thought the atmosphere to be very nice and clean. I 2as promptly greeted and seated at a cozy little table for two , in my case one, by the wall. I was given a lunch menu. For a drink, entrée, and appitizer, the cost is $12.99. That is very fair. For the appitizer, you get a choice of two eggrolls or the Tom Kha Soup. I asked for both. I wanted to the crunch of the eggrolls and the warmth of the soup. I was delighted with the soup. The flavors were quite lovely, and my tastebuds awoke from my lips to my toes. For those Thai food enthusiasts, you know what I am talking about. The flavor is 80% of everything. The crunch of the eggrolls was just right. I felt like goldilocks trying that last bowl of porridge. Yummy yum, all of the Tom Kha went into my tum. My entrée choice was the Green Curry & rice. Again, I wasn't disappointed. The flavors once again curled my toes. I could not eat it all. So I know what I am having for breakfast in the morning. The waiter was so kind. So before our 80° weather hits tomorrow, my insides are nice and warm. This place should not be empty on a Friday afternoon during lunchtime time. Four thumbs up. I am...

Run, don’t walk, to this amazing Thai restaurant. Apparently, it is the sister restaurant to Sakhuu Thai, which has several locations and is well-known, but for legal reasons they are not able to use that name in this location. Food is the same…excellent!!! I’ve tried a few different things here, and everything is delicious!! Wonderful staff and a cozy atmosphere! It would be a great date-night spot as well, since it’s dimly lit with cute little lamps on each table. It’s tucked away in a strip mall, so it’s easy to miss. Please, please come to this location and keep it afloat! It’s been under new ownership for the past few months, so don’t judge based on reviews from more than 5 months ago. I’ve tried the pad Thai, Tom Kha soup, mango sticky rice, pad see ew, and today tried the massaman curry…all were with MEDIUM spice (perfectly spiced…not weak and not overpowering). Obviously no spice on the mango sticky rice ;) Everything is delicious here!! The quality of chicken is great (I’m very picky about that), it is white meat chicken…no gristle, etc. You’ve got to come here…it will be your new favorite Thai restaurant, like it is mine! Kit is a wonderful, attentive and friendly server…hope you get him…though I’m sure they’re...

this was under old management not the new one as of 1/10/25*the food is now subpar.

Before reading, please be aware that I am vegetarian and ordered all the dishes below with absolutely no meat and egg, just tofu as protein.

For our apps we ordered corn patties and herbal Thai tofu. My advice is skip the corn patties, they're crunchy but the filling lacks anything to write home about. The herbal Thai tofu was alright as well but it's better with the sauce provided. We ordered Thai basil rice, panang curry (comes with jasmine rice), and the drunken noodle. The Thai basil rice is perfectly seasoned and the best of all the dishes I tried. It is a little on the saltier side but only a little. The Panang curry was recommended by the waitresses and was absolutely delightful. A perfect blend of spice and a hint of sweetness were highlighted by the tender bamboo shoots. The drunken noodle has had many great reviews. It was flavorful and the sauce had a nice hint of umami flavor. The portion sizes were also good for the price. My favorite was definitely the panang curry and basil rice.

Overall, small and homely place to eat some good...
