Thai Spice Restaurant — Restaurant in Manchester

Boy, do I love this place.

Apparently so does everybody else: their phone's been ringing off the hook since they opened!

I usually try to give new restaurants a few weeks to settle in, but this place opened while I was in the middle of packing and moving and I couldn't resist some take-out in their first week.

Drunken noodles luncheon special was a HEFTY portion for the price, and delicious to boot. The spring roll was shatteringly crispy. The tom kha I added on was just as yummy as the rest.

I've been back a few times since and it's been consistently terrific.

I can't even imagine trying to open a new restaurant in the middle of the pandemic, but clearly there's some pent-up demand in the area because they've been super busy. Despite the onslaught, everybody I've dealt with at the restaurant so far has been incredibly friendly and cheerful.

Have some patience if you call, give them a few weeks to get settled in, and remember that we don't get that many new restaurants opening around these parts so we should cherish the ones we do get. Luckily, this one more than...

I called in an order. My boyfriend went inside to pick it up because I was unable to go in myself. They did not give him my complete order. He paid the full amount and tipped them. I called to let them know my order was not complete and they had left an item out. I told them I was not returning this evening to get it and I asked if I could get it tomorrow instead at some point. They said no. So basically I paid for stuff that I didn't receive and they kept my money for it and my tip and did nothing to help me. Really bad business, will not be returning and will let people know about my experience.

Edit: obviously the person I dealt with initially didn't have the authority or willingness to figure out a solution with me, but someone more in charge replied to my comment and has shown an interest in rectifying the bad experience. I appreciate that very much and will stop in when I have a chance again. The food was good, the masaman curry and fried dumplings. I am changing my review from 1 to 5 stars. Hopefully they train people on the phone to ask for help and guidance...

Nice little joint with very amiable staff. Recently tried the larb wanting something authentic, and I was pleased, so much flavor in one dish-lime, lemongrass, ginger, fish sauce. I'm also a big bubble tea fan, and theirs delivers-so far I've tried the mango, coconut, coffee and jackfruit and all of them were delicious. I love how they have different flavored popping bubbles. The first time I got takeout here, I did find the shrimp dumplings a bit soggy, but I enjoyed the Tom Yum soup even though it made my stomach hurt(which was on me, I got 5 stars spicy and the taste I could make it through but my stomach!!). That was some time before I got the larb, so I suppose things improved from there. It's a bit pricey for sure, but all in all good food, excited to try more things from here. Never expected a place like this so close to...
