Spice Thai — Restaurant in Orlando

Nov. 2024 Update. The best drunken noodle, saucy and flavorful. We got shrimp this time. The tiger steak is good as well. Chicken satay is the best. Basil fried rice is perfectly seasoned. The basil fried rice is another great dish. The seafood soup is to die for. Careful if you got medium, spicy! Highly recommended. The service was over the top.all we had to do was look up and they came over. Service charge is added automatically, so you know it was genuinely good service. At least 20 orders to go while we sat there. Heats up perfectly the next day, so it's a double win. Older post: Amazing food! We stopped in for lunch and fell in love with the decor. Service was simply the best! We asked for our food fast and they delivered! Food within 5 minutes. We have been looking for some amazing Thai in our neighborhood, this is the place. Spicy basil shrimp fried rice. Huge shrimp (not many ) and delicious veggies in this tasty fried rice. Golden fried tilapia with red curry! My tastebuds sang as soon as the red curry hit my tongue! Simply delicious, right balance of sweet, spicy and salt. The veggies in the dish were so delicious enough to stand up on its own. My beef w/ panang curry!! So good. Different than the red curry and rich with flavor. Presentation of food was exceptional. Carrots cut into flowers, shredded veggies that were appetizing. No msg! Rice was a small portion, but the waiter was more than willing to provide more. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. I look forward to tasting all of their dishes. Will even review their take out. SO glad we live 10 minutes away! UPDATE: Been back here again and had the drunken noodles- one of the best i have tasted- noodles are slightly al dente and sooo good, pineapple fried rice (sweet, salty, with the tiniest hint of curry) my picky eater at home loved it. I had the beef panang curry again and it was a little bland, I did add some spices from their spice wheel that helped. The tilapia with red curry is still #1 in flavor. But OMG, Sticky rice and coconut ice cream are to die for!!! I am a chocolate girl and would gladly give that status up for this dessert. Can't wait to save my $$$ to come here again. We went during lunch so no reviews for the dinner...

The staff are very rude and unfriendly. The staff refuse to give their name so it cannot be provided in reviews. The staff member said "The kitchen stops accepting orders for lunch at 2:30. Can you give me your order?" Mind you, it was 2:10 pm. We felt very rushed and the staff brought food to each individual at drastically different times. This made the lunch experience extremely unpleasaurable as each person of four in the group would finish eating much earlier than the rest sitting at the table. The staff member brought the check and just dropped it in the middle of the table while we (group of 4 ) were eating. Moreover, an 18 percent (service charge) was added. Be careful of this as they still would ask for tip on top of this. The staff would interrupt us while we are talking by saying "watch out!" by rudely interrupting our conversation while bringing food to the table. The 4 of us agreed the staff personality is horrible as we will never give them our business again. I gave them a tip on top of the sneaky service charge because I want the waiter to pay for anger management classes. I'm done with this terrible business structure especially after they raised their prices and decreased their...

I've been eating Thai food for 40 years and I can tell you this place is no longer the Thai restaurant I went to 12 months ago. The waiters will insist on the same thing but I will go back to their kitchen and I can cook Thai food closer to what they claim to make. Everything is overly sweet. The Thom Kakai soup is bland and watered down, the other Thom yum soup is just plain sour soup like you would get from a Chinese restaurant. I ordered a pad thai that came as a watery soup noodle and it doesn't look like dry fried noodles. Not sure if they changed the chef or owner but I'm crossing this place off my list of recommendations for locals and visitors. I had brought someone over to impress them with a great Thai restaurant but unfortunately I totally lose face with Spice Thai.

Last but not least, the prices they charge here are ridiculous for their lack of quality and authenticity. I feel sad for the non Asian folks that come here that don't know much about Thai food but you are getting ripped off. I'm sorry for the scathing review but...
