Thai Restaurant
Been eating here since we moved to Monrovia. Good food every time. My husband orders the shrimp fried rice combination plate and I order the drunken noodle w/beef and very little spice. It can be very spicy πΆοΈ. Quick service, good prices, good customer service, tasty food, consistent, itβs good for a quick bite but if you are looking to eat in then the place is too tiny.
Amazing experience! We will be coming back any time we're in the area. Everything ordered was well seasoned, delicious, and very fresh. We ordered two different soups, curry, a noodle dish, and fried bananas.
The customer service was great and the prices are reasonable for the quality and amount.
Best Thai food around the neighborhood. Crab fried rice and the glass noodle salad are my two favorite dishes. I order togo all the time, the price is very reasonable with a very generous portion. You guys are awesome I can't live without this place π€©π€©π€©
Great place for delicious Thai food. Very generous portions and reasonably priced. Excellent food once again coz canβt say that enough!! Their Garlic fried rice and panang curry are must-tries and one can go back again and again
Ordered on Doordash atleast 4 times now in the last 2 months. Fresh, huge portions and very reasonably priced compared to other places. I normally don't leave reviews for places I ordered on Doordash but this is the exception. Their pad thai and fried rice are the best π
A hidden gem in Arcadia. This restaurant has been here forever and became part of Arcadia establishment. Because of its good Thai foods, typically this place is packed. Itβs advisable to order ahead before coming.
The restaurant is located on first and Duarte in Arcadia, serving only take out and catering. The Thai foods here are top notch and delicious. I particularly like their pad Thai. Itβs very authentic with all the fresh Thai ingredients. The sweetness and sour taste create a beautiful taste. The noodle is cooked to the right doneness. Another favorite of mine is their pad see ew fried noodle with beef. I love the sweet soy sauce in the noodle. My wife loves their green papaya salad. The mixing sauce comes with just the right combination of Sweetness and vinaigrette taste.
The menu is very comprehensive. We have had a chance to try all of them. Thatβs why we keep coming back for more.
The people here is nice, the waiting time is only 10 minutes which is pretty quick, the lady was really nice and gave me a free Thai iced tea which was a a 10\10 she was so sweet, highly Recommend this place.
Thai Spices THE BEST! I had the Tom Kha Spicy Amazing π βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ

I visit Spices 1-3 times a month and they always deliver a delicious meal that is MORE than worthy of the price. I recommend the pineapple fried rice!
My go to Thai place. So good.
Good food- reminded me of Southeast Asia. Will be coming back. Take away only.

This place has great food and quick service! Cant get enough ππ±ππ²
All authentic whole in the wall with amazing food and service. I highly recommend!
Papaya a salad is great, the Mint Leaf chicken is delicious, the curries are flavorful and pad Thai is yummy. Huge portions, reasonable, price and a foodies who loves thai foods favorite in arcadia and surrounding towns.
Nice place.
Huge portions and exactly what I'm looking for when I'm seeking Thai take out. I'm sad I live on the west side or else I would come here often!
The portions were big especially papaya salad and food tastes fine. However, there was a piece of aluminum/ stainless steel string in pine apple fried rice. The stainless steel string that can be found in the scrubber. If I donβt feel it with my teeth, it could have stuck in my throat. A child could have eaten it and the consequences could be dire. I stopped eating the fried rice as worried that there might be more pieces. Iβll be showing the stainless steel piece to the restaurant staff as well.
Also, I ordered TongYum but they gave me Tongka (the one with coconut).
Pretty good
Cute, carry out, homemade Thai food. Good eats and good value.
One of the best Thai foods I've ever had. I now refuse to go anywhere else - you just can't beat the quality for the price! My favorites are the Pad Thai noodles, Crab Fried Rice, Green Curry, and Tom Kha soup. It's a small shop only good for takeout orders with plentiful neighborhood parking. Highly recommend Spices Thai Kitchen!!
This is a take out only joint. But their food is legit. And they give good quantity as well. My favorite dishes are the BBQ pork, crispy pork with Chinese broccoli, pad see yu with beef, papaya salad, carb fried rice, and pineapple curry with chicken. And when they it, get their mango with sticky rice dessert. It's sooooo good! The owners are nice, but the wait can be a bit on busy days. So order ahead of time.
Friendly service and good food with lots of wok-hei. As other reviews mentioned it's takeout only. I came here for the first time and ordered the Pad Thai. Solid choice, big portions. I might try the Pad See Ew next time. Personal preferences: the Pad Thai sauce was a little too sweet and could have been more sour and spicy.
Picked this up on my way home from work, and barely made it before they closed. Everyone there was EXTREMELY friendly and kind. I was only picking up, so I only saw a small area for pickup. This area was very welcoming, especially when paired with the warm and inviting service. We tried the pad Thai, fried rice, panang curry, egg rolls, and sweet sticky rice. The only reason that I wouldn't order any of these dishes again is because there are so many other tempting options to try. My kids weren't crazy about all of the dishes, but nothing out of the ordinary for the limited taste palatesthat some children have. My wife and I were very happy with every dish, and there was enough leftover for a second night of dinner. Don't forget the Thai iced tea, it's also delicious.
You are in the right place
Dude taking the order wasn't easy to understand, but we busted through the language barrier and I got some awesome chicken Pad Thai. Highly recommend.
Best Thai fast food in town. Fast, friendly service!
OK if you look at my reviews, I donβt just trash a place. Especially small local places. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt. I went here for takeout dinner. I ordered day special prik khing curry with side of spring rolls. The spring rolls were soft and not very good. They gave me the curry with no rice. When I called them later to tell them that, they said the curry doesnβt come with rice, and you have to order rice separately. Wouldβve been smart of the lady taking my order to have told me I would need to order rice as well. The curry was bland. Overall, I spent $30 got some mushy spring rolls and beans with six shrimp.
I've had Thai food from everywhere and this was one of the best. We ordered 3 dishes - the pad Thai was authentic tasting with a real tamarind flavor that I never get anywhere else. Pad see ew was a delicious smoky barbecue like flavor and the curry was an extremely generous portion loaded with vegetables and chicken. The spiciness at level 8 was perfect.
I think this is the best Thai restaurant in the area. Portions are good for the price and the food is delicious. The spice level is definitely on the Thai scale so be warned.
A neighborhood favorite.
Had yellow curry made mild with rice and it was A+. Couldnβt stop eating it.
Pad Thai was more of a B. Chicken and noodles were a little dry.
This is alright Thai food. Although the owners are Thai, it doesn't taste very authentic--most likely because of using local ingredients.
There is not as much spice as I would like. Nothing tastes bad, just not great either. Their foods are extremely oily compared to other Thai places.
No seating, this is takeaway only.
Excellent food highly recommended
Take out only, but delicious!
Amazing food, delicious Thai tea, great customer service!
my current favorite Thai food restaurant. Weekly orders.
I placed an order for a company lunch. This was my first time ordering from here. The customer service was EXCEPTIONAL and the food was delicious! I am definitely coming back.
Always divine!
They used to be a 5-Star treat, but I'm afraid they're either under new ownership or just quit trying. The last 3 visits there were disappointing. The combo rice is flavored with MSG-ladened smoke flavoring, and none of the meats or veggies will be cut with any care or mastery. If you ask for peanut sauce for your Pad Thai, you won't get anything. If you ask again, they'll assure you they put it in the bag, but they won't. When you receive your order and ask them where the peanut sauce is, they'll say it's in the bag and shoo you away, and when you show them it's not in the bag, they'll give you a small clear container with chopped peanut chunks. Order 4 dishes for a family and ask for chop sticks, you'll get a single pair and be shooed away. This has happened the last 3 visits there.
Again, Spices Thai was, for years, a wonderful, hidden treat that was enjoyed by the locals. It's now a dilapidated, dirty take out only establishment with increased costs, diminished quality, and a staff that doesn't know what Thai Peanut Sauce is. If you went to a burger joint and all of a sudden they didn't care about cleanliness and didn't know what ketchup was, would you continue to go there?
We won't be ordering there again. If you're considering them, there's a dozen better places to try. Most will be cheaper, and all will be better. RIP Spices Thai.
Good food, delicious
Special pork fried rice is the bomb.
BOMB.COM
Ordered the chicken pad thai. Most Thai restaurants I've been to have mediocre but this one hits close to home. Very goog portion sizes. Best BANG for you BUCK. If you like spicy they got it! With a scale 1-10. If you like spicy spicy but not too spicy I strongly recommend level 8. ONLY TAKE OUT!!!!!! So head to Eisenhower Park to enjoy some great food.
Don't let looks deceive you. While at first glance it may look like a hole in the wall, the food here is amazing. I have yet to order anything here and be disappointed. My favorite is the beef or seafood salad extra spicy. Best Thai restaurant that I have found.
Bbq pork is very good. I'm having the chicken fried rice now. Very good.
I like this place. It is a true βhole in the wallβ with good food at a reasonable price.
I finally found a great Thai restaurant. It's a hole in the wall. I will be a loyal patron and definitely come back soon. Their BBQ pork is so good. I also recommend the pineapple fried rice.
Awesome thai dishes and excellent customer service from owners! Highly recommended. If you like spicy flavor, they have a 1-10 scale too!
Today was my first time here and it will be my go to Thai restaurant from now on. Everything was made to order, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. My mom and I enjoyed their pad thai, tom kha soup, and green curry. Today was my mom's first experience having Thai food and she loved it! Looking forward to trying other dishes. Oh, their thai tea is perfectly sweetened too.
Quick and friendly service. Got the pad thai and pork ribs with fried rice... both were delicious
Great food, great service, great price
Price is reasonable and flavor is authentic
Thank God you finally answered your portions are huge the flavors are amazing I love this place I recommended to everyone
They only do take out, don't get surprised. They are also very popular during meal times so plan ahead. Call your order in early. We love their ginger chicken and pad see we and yellow curry.
Outstanding food, recently priced. Great sized portions.
Best rice noodles β€οΈ
Good quality price is much better than other thai places nearby. The food has excellent flavor. The drinks are good too.
Great flavor and huge portions. But I asked for mild green curry and I couldn't eat much of it. It was medium for me and my system can't take it.
Great little place that offers fantastic Thai food at reasonable prices with generous portions. Will definitely be coming back. The guy taking orders at the door was friendly and helpful.
Great food and service.
Wow !! Incredible Thai food.
Must GO place.
One if the best restaurants in the area. The food is excellent, my whole family, including my grandchildren love their food. It's spiced just right and plenty of it, you will not be disappointed.
Pad Thai is amazing.
I have to say today was my first visit and the drunk noodle level 8 is delish, along with vegetarian egg rolls... you must go and try

Quick and yummy
Best place for thai food
Great service, very kind and reasonable prices for the great flavors the food provides. I love their pad thai, very tasty without too much or too little flavors. Their thai iced tea is a very great price if you just want the thai iced tea, it only comes in one size but still a great deal. It's a little gem in a small quiet street around town, there's a park next to go to sit and eat. I will definitely be coming back as I enjoyed my experience and hope to be a regular and try out more of their dishes.
It's delicious. Can't wait to be back.
I love beef salad of Spices Thai Kitchen
Great prices great food
Always delicious
Delicious food. Incredible prices. Been wanting to go for a year and was well worth the wait.
Donβt let the storefront fool you. Although unassuming, this place packs a serious flavor punch. Iβve been to Thailand a number of times and this is comparable to anything youβd get in Bangkok.
Good as always
Best in LA County

Great food and fair prices. Go here all the time when I'm in the area.
Best Thai food around
Love their curry vegies with stem rice.
good food
Food is fantastic, lots of people always picking up to go. Me too.
Good quality food at a great price. Not the best Thai food I have ever had (pretty close though), but still very tasty. Quality ingredients. Generous portions. Had the drunken noodles.
No place to actually sit and enjoy the food so headed to a local park. Will be back for sure.
Sorry, unfortunately this place I'm rating very poorly since after I ate there, I ended up in the ER with bad food poisoning. I had to pay out $200 out of pocket! It was horrible!!
Tried Spices Thai Kitchen off a recommendation. Haven't tried everything on the menu, but Spices Thai has quickly turned to THE spot for curry for my group. This is a pick-up-and-go place, there are only benches to sit and wait for your order. Do not expect to eat here.
Staff: Friendly, mostly focused on getting their orders done
Food: Only tried a handful of dishes outside the curry, they were okay. The curry tho - you get that curry and you'll be gifted with a gigantic container of pure spicy deliciousness. Easily worth 3-4 portions per container, we always have leftovers. The spice levels are good. My primary dining companion and spice connoisseur
Drinks: Only tried the Thai tea, first time it tasted off but second time it was great. It's only $1.50 so worth the gamble.
No stamp systems or anything in place.
The service and prices are good. The portions are great, but the food is just ok.
A friend suggested Spices Thai to us for dinner and we have gone back twice a month for almost a year now. The staff is always friendly and quick and the food is consistently delicious. It often is only a 20 minute wait for pickup and the food is always hot and fresh. Weβve had about half a dozen items on the menu, all of which were great. Our favorite dish is the Pad Thai Chicken. Their rolls and wontons are also delicious. The food had an added quick with their fresh Thai chili paste. I would definitely recommend Spices Thai !
There food is delicious and prices are very reasonable! Love the hostess!!
Kiki
Best food, prices, and portions! Small hole in the wall places usally sre the best. All the pistive reviews are well deserved. I always recommend to others.
Very good restaurant. I recommend this restaurant to everybody.
Don't miss it, the best Thai food you can order. No place to sit yoy simply call or drop by and choose anything on the menu and you are done. Cooked by authentic Thai personnel serviced by original Thai personnel and the food you get simply as authentic as you are having it in Thailand :-) Enjoy
Great food reasonable price
Staff is unkind and phone is neglected, most bad thing is not delicious, just fried with cheap sauce and MSG!
$7 All day special menu + spicy Thai fried rice + bbq pork + crispy pork are my favorite dishes
Pretty good!
good food
The bomb, large portions!
Wow
To go only, but good quantity and good taste!
I have been coming to this restaurant for 6 years . A couple days ago I ordered the salmon fried rice easy spicey. I took the order to go . When I got home it was super spicey could not eat it ! I went back and told the female owner and her response was I do not remember . And we will not remake for you. Will never go back to this place as long as I live.
Great Thai food. It is take-out ONLY and they make everything to order so sometimes there is a wait, especially if a lot of people have ordered. But well worth the wait.
Best ever. Brings me memories of Thailand. Their all day special menu is excellent.
Best to go restaurant
Good quality Thai food for very reasonable price. Have been a loyal customer for several years.
The sea food tom yum is the best I personally love this soup especially if you have a hangover or have a cold the spiciness will maje you feel better..
This is take out ONLY. Call in your order, come and pick it up. Good food but not quite authentic, generous portions. STOP. Ate here yesterday, people have changed. Portions have been cut in half. Anyone know? Did this place change hands? Wife had what she always gets, she said same old, same old.
I had something new, it was good.
I also ordered the six piece shrimp tempura appetizer. It is NOT tempura, it is a bread crumb batter, not very good at all. The shrimp were tiny, along with mushrooms, broccoli, onion rings and zucchini. Won't ever order it again. And since I am not sure why the portions were all cut in half, they used much smaller containers to package the meals, I may not be ever going back.
It took me 40 minutes to get my one bowl of noodles.. I ordered my drink before a group of people but they got their drinks before me
Yum
Small thai kitchen mainly for call in and pick up orders
Best thai food in town. Great services
Pad thai chicken was delicious
Pad thai is ok.....a bit too sweet for me. Portions were quite generous though so thumbs up for that. Location is kind of out of the way unless you're a local. They have a lot of items I want to try so I will update review when I try other items (hopefully less sweet ones).
Delicious food, great price and portion size. I will definitely be making this place my go-to for Thai!
Delicious takeout Thai food
Excellent
Do yourself a huge favor and give it a chance. It'll be one of the best decisions you will ever make in your life. I'm not kidding by the way.
It's a very good spot really authentic went there with my buddy one day haven't forgot about it yet will go any time in town I give it two thumbs up!
Fun, pretty cool, hole-in-the wall -type place with a friendly cashier. You don't see any other staff besides her bc the chefs are in the kitchen. There are no tables inside or outside this establishment and thus this is a strictly take-out type of place.
Very generous portions. We ordered:
-Pad Thai: D+ I rate all my experiences of Thai food based on the ability to make a excellent Pad Thai... Sadly this was the worst Pad Thai I have eaten thus far. If you need sauces to save a Pad Thai, in my opinion: it just doesn't hold up. Spices and sauces are meant to enhance flavor and should never be expected to save it. I choose to think that I may have just eaten their Pad Thai on a day where some other factor(s) where at play and which prevented me from experiencing a better tasting food : )
-Chicken Egg Rolls: B+ Surprisingly, pretty good. Nice texture and flavor. I noticed the spices in the egg roll. I would order this again but would look forward to also trying their vegetable egg rolls.
-Pork Fried Rice: D+ Very generous portions though! Unfortunately, not to my liking. I understand that every restaurant has their own unique way and style of how they prepare their own fried rice. I didn't like the ingredients they choose to use. Perhaps I was expecting more of a 'Chinese Style' fried rice; which isn't to be expected when ordering fried rice at a place that specializes in Thai food. In other words, I'm not a big fan of Thai style fried rice and again am happy to concede that perhaps I ordered this dish on a day where other factor(s) where at play and which prevented me from having a great dining experience with this particular dish : )
-Spicy Egg Plant with Chicken: A+ This was, in my opinion, spectacular. In fact, I ate this with the Thai Fried rice with pork and it helped tremendously in assisting me in eating the fried rice! In my opinion, you shouldn't depend on other dishes to help dishes that are lagging. Still this was a great dish to experience and one I would do again!
Not very impressive when you walk in but omg! Such good food!
Good food great price really has improved :)
Food is bomb!!
You can smell the deliciousness as soon as you open your car door....staff is always courteous and the food is always packed well....competitively priced, delivered promptly...did I mention delicious?? Definitely, Delicious...
