Chili Thai University Place — Restaurant in University Place

Went in for an early dinner. Was quickly greeted, seated, and given a nice glass of ice cold lemon water. Large menu with plenty of options. I ordered the Tom Yum soup, Fresh Rolls, and a side of Brown Rice. For the soup I ordered a spicy level three out of possible five. Even though I like spicy stuff, I would now go with a one or a two. The soup was quite delicious. Though it needed some salt. I ordered the seafood combination. The bowl had a couple of muscles, a couple of shrimp, some medium sized scallops, sliced up pieces of calamari, plenty of vegetables, and some crab with a "k". The fresh rolls with the accompanying peanut sauce were very nice. The chicken inside was not dry. The vegetables & lettuce were fresh and crisp. The brown rice was not what I expected. When I make brown rice at home, it is true brown rice. This appeared to be white sticky rice that had beans of some sort added to color the white rice. Not a good option if you have diabetes. I'll know better next time. What didn't I like? The tomatoes in the soup. Crab with a K is a cheap option that I don't think should be even considered seafood. I'd rather have it omitted if real crab is not available. I already mentioned the issues with the brown rice. Do I recommend this restaurant? Yes. I've eaten take-out from here before and always had a good experience. This was my first dine-in experience. Service was attentive, quick, friendly, and the food portions were large. Atmosphere is ok; an open format that could get quite loud with a lot of customers. Next time I will not order the brown rice. But the Tom Yum soup is definitely worth a...

So, I had a craving for fried spring rolls since I haven't had my Thai cuisine fixs in over a year.  I pulled Chili Thai's menu up via their online website and it noted that spring rolls for $4.99.  Since I was at the postal office, which is close by, I decided to drive there and put in an order for spring rolls.  The server informed me that the spring rolls would be $9.95; however, the only system shows $4.99 and the desktop menu shows $8.95.  The server specifically asked if I wanted the fry or the fresh spring rolls, and I told her the fried ones, which I received; however, I was charged $9.95.  The server informed me that the prices can change at any time despite what is being reflected on their website. I went ahead and purchased the order; however, the spring rolls were hard, stale and did not have enough vegetable stuffings.  I resent the bait and switch and/or pricing discrepancies that restaurants employed to overcompensate for the lack of...

My FAVORITE restaurant. I stop here every time I'm in town. My daughter does the same thing. I'm never sure when I order from other Thai places if I'm going to like it. Now that I've eaten here, ALL other Thai places disappointment me. I won't even order Pad Thai anywhere else anymore.

The Pad Thai dish is so plentiful that my daughter and I can split an order and both have generous portions. I usually order Tofu as my meat choice, which is $9.95. I can't make dinner for 2 people, especially not Pad Thai. AND I could never make it taste like this.

The prices are mostly $9.95 unless your meat choice is shimp. Prawns add $2 to any dish. The most expensive item on the menu is $12.95

Right now, and for the past few months, it's hard to find, you haven't been here before. There is a messy 24/7 road construction project in front of it. The driveway entrance is hard to see and sometimes hard to navigate, so drive slow.

SOOOO...
