Spice Cafe — Restaurant in Southern Pines

Giving this place one star because it’s really not that good, very greasy unclean eating. We have eaten there twice, the second time giving it another chance, which apparently was a mistake. They messed up our order by giving us 2 wrong menu items, and we would have just eaten them if they had tasted good but they didn’t, so we called and told them they gave us something different then what we ordered, and the manager/cook was so incredibly rude about it. She argued with us about it for a bit, then told us she wasn’t making anything else for us and we can just come and get our money back...at least that was offered I suppose, but the rudeness she exuded is inexcusable. We definitely won’t be going back there ever again, and will not be recommending it to anyone we know.

Update: After writing this review, the owner/chef who was extremely rude to my husband, looked up his number on her caller ID from when he placed the take out order, and sent him a nasty text message. I actually laughed at it because of how crazy it was proving her to be, but the worst part was she basically accused him of being a bad father...I’m not sure why she decided to bring our kids into her crazy rant. But I know if he gets another text from her we will file a police report for harassment. Seriously can’t believe how crazy this whole...

$7.99 and this quality I can't complain :) lunch special plate portion is little small compared to dinner plate but comes with a spring roll.

I love the thai lady taking order and cooking at the same time. Honestly, I would love to see native Asian lady (like my self) taking order because I feel like they know what they are talking about.. few other thai restaurants here in southern pines somehow have all American non-asian people taking order.. I would only understand that if its panda express or china buffet, and I already feel disappointed!! Like imagine if you go to southern soul food restaurant and have all asian lady taking order I'm sure you won't feel right about the place :( it's not racial, but it's about respect to Asian culture.

I had pad thai in probably more than 50 different restaurants all over the world. I won't pay $20 for pad thai here but it tastes pretty good for $7.99! Definitely worth the money. Shrimp and beef is kinda small and tough but like I said it's half the price of fancy restaurants....

Far exceeded our expectations. The “Noodle” Tom Yum was a perfect taste of Thailand, filled with the flavors and smells we would experience in the Tom Yum when we lived in Thailand. The Pad Kraitam seemed like it might be a bit high at $11 with chicken, but for just $3 more they offered large sea scallops in the place of the chicken, and then it seemed like a great deal. Once it arrived, a plate filled with vegetables, scallops, brown garlic sauce and just a bit of spice, I realized it would have been a great deal either way. True Thai food, freshly prepared while you wait as it...
