So Glad Talay Thai is in Palm Desert!

I used to love visiting Talay Thai at their old Rancho Mirage location, and I’m thrilled they’ve relocated to Palm Desert! Their food remains as delicious as ever, with fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and perfectly balanced Thai spices. Whether it’s their rich curries, flavorful noodles, or crispy spring rolls, every dish is made with care. On top of that, their customer service is always excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. It’s great to see this amazing restaurant thriving in a new location. Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine!

Everyone was incredibly nice and lovely, the food was absolutely delicious, I tried the green curry and pad thai and loved both. The prices were higher (~$20/dish) but they're on El Paseo so I'm not surprised. I loved them at their old location and continue to love them at their new location. They didn't have their dessert menu ready yet since they just reopened at this location (used to be in RM), but I'm excited to try next time I visit! Would recommend to anyone ✨

This is one of my new favorite Thai restaurants. We ate here during lunch, so there was not many people there, but our server was fabulous. He was really attentive to our needs, and really explained the different menu items. I had the green chicken curry, which is my standard at a new Thai place, and it did not disappoint. My friends also had some other General Thai dishes, and they were also very tasty. We would recommend this Thai place to anyone in the area.

We came here because of good reviews.We arrived at around 8 , they close at 9. Everyone seemed agitated, they told us last food was at 8:30 which is understandable and we ordered ahead of that time. Food was okay compared to other Thai place at valley. We ordered shrimp appetizer, mango curry, drinks and pad es saw with shrimp and chicken. Portion size were not great for the price but that was not the issue. Horrible customer service . We asked for the drinks, and ordered one for my kid after tasting first one we realized our little one would not like it and if it could be canceled. We wanted to cancel before it was made and we made request within 30 seconds with the server whoever was close by. The guy server was so rude , he basically said figure out with your server . We didn’t argue. By the time our server came in table , drink was prepared . We didnot say anything. Whole time both servers were rolling eyes and were agitated. we were so confused I felt sick to my stomach eating there. Never ever I have not finished my food from my plate. I could not after how we were treated. We wanted the dessert cause it looked good in the menu but we decided it’s gonna make us more sick. When we were leaving they didnot even say goodnight.
We tried food all over the valley and go back to our favorite. never again in this place that’s what I told my self. Since its location was in Rancho mirage I was expecting better customer service than this. The employer needs to train these people if he wants to keep running business efficiently, his workers are costing him.

We arrived at 8:15 P.M. The server notified us and let us know the kitchen closes at 8:30 to 8:35 in a nice tone. At first, i was enjoying the atmosphere with the family. But, there came a point where i ordered the Apple soda and asked my little one to taste it. Within 30 seconds of placing that soda drink order i asked one of the workers there to please cancel the drink for my son. He yelled and was abrupt and super rude and pointed at me and me to go get our server myself. I was in shock. He then went onto communicate something to her and both our server and the guy were extremely rude the rest of the night. When our food was brought out he yelled at me and told me to move my plates from the table so he can place everything correctly. It was ridiculous...

I have NEVER EVER LEFT A NEGATIVE REVIEW. This is the FIRST NEGATIVE REVIEW I leave with one star. Worse experience ever me and my family did not enjoy our meal at all. I regret coming to this place.

A bit pricey for Thai food, but good food.

Stated out with the Tom Kha Soup; it was ok. It needed maybe lemongrass, bamboo shoots, or something to add some flavor. The chicken in it was ok. The baby carrots were a little strange for this soup.

My main dish was the Pad Thai (with chicken). Now this dish was very delicious. The chicken in this dish was tender and had plenty of flavor from the sauce. The noodles were cooked perfectly and I loved the fresh bean sprouts, carrots and crushed peanuts.

I had their Thai Iced-Tea with my meal and it didn't disappoint. It was rich and creamy while not being too sweet.

The service was pretty good as well.

The atmosphere was ok; a little plain but clean.

What a great find! We just found this restaurant and the food was soooo good! I’d call it some of the best Thai in the Coachella valley!

I’m sad to hear that they are closing down and they said the owner is looking for a new place.

We had the Chicken Larb, Tom Kha soup, and the Thai egg omelette…it was all soo good! I loved it!

This is a little hole in the wall style Thai place. We came here for a late lunch and the restaurant was basically empty. We grabbed some soju cocktails - the Bangkok Lover and the Thai Arnold Palmer. They were pretty expensive and had pre mixed cocktail mix in them. I probably would have gone for an Asian beer instead because they had a good variety. My partner did not enjoy the Arnold Palmer and did not finish it. There weren’t many staff around so our server also made the drinks and the service was pretty slow. For appetizers we started with the Thai dumplings which were pretty good. We then had the Pad Se-Ew and the Talay special seafood dish. The Pad Se-Ew was authentic and delicious. The Talay special seafood dish however was quite underwhelming and was poorly presented (stew in tin-foil). It was packed with seafood however the sauce was not very tasty and it was $30. The portions were very large so an appetizer and two entrees was more than enough for the two of us. We did not have room for dessert. Overall I would not recommend this place. Hole in the wall Thai food should be authentic, tasty and fairly cheap and this, for the most part, did not check those boxes.

Same great staff and delicious food but in a new location.

I got the yellow curry level 3 ,for spicy fans this was a good amount of spice.The coconut milk Thai tea was refreshing and tropical tasting.The yellow curry has so much flavor would recommend.

The Tom Kha soup is delicious! 10/10!

So Glad Talay Thai is in Palm Desert!

Our favorite Thai in the desert. Great staff, and amazing food with all fresh ingredients. Glad they’re in Palm Desert now.

Sad to see they closed.

Hope you reopen soon in your new location!

Drove off the I-10 for a family lunch - Talay was worth it. The mango curry was excellent. Everything else was good. Service was immediate and unobtrusive. Parking was easy and free. Paid $35/person with fancy drinks.

Good food portions are decent I like the place if you order something and you don’t like they don’t take it back means you have to pay which is bad

The food was not nice. Lots of it, but every dish tasted like tap water from decaying pipes. We ordered two different curries dishes, the pad thai and two tom kha talays - it all just sat there after a few bites. I just wanted to get away from it. No doggie bags please. Very disappointing. The bill was over two hundred dollars - not a problem if the food is decent, but... The male server was unbelievably rude the entire time. I'm not exaggerating, he made no bones about exhibiting what a miserable, tortured soul he was, it was crazy; he would throw the things on the table and look the other way, he refused to make eye contact with any of us. Never in my life have I had the displeasure of being served by a more angry borderline aggressive server. Full twilight zone experience.

Delicious cuisine…

Where’s the meat ?

We Order chicken pad Thai hardly any chicken in the dish , ordered chicken curry 2 pieces of chicken only order beef n broccoli 2 pieces of beef.. We won’t order fish again from here

On March 27, 2024, I ordered three meals and two drinks to be delivered through GrubHub. When I got the delivered order, the GraPow meal that cost me $22.00 had a small, half portion in the container. I called the restaurant to complain about the portion size. The lady that answered the phone was not helpful, rude and basically told me that its not her problem that I needed to contact GrubHub even though it was her restaurant that packed the small meal portion size. She said food is expensive and hung up on me. I filed for a refund on that small portion meal which GrubHub refunded my $22.00. I would not recommend that anyone order any food to be delivered from this Thai restaurant, Talay. They are rude and its apparent that their delivery portion is much different then their dine-in portion. I think this is terrible in these times that this Thai restaurant charges high prices and refuses to make sure their customers are happy.

Great food deliciously prepared. It has a great atmosphere. The service is good and the food 🍲 comes out fast. I was very happy. I went in a big group and we all enjoyed our orders .

Amazing spicy fried rice. Excellent service and my new favorite place.

This is one of my new favorite Thai restaurants. We ate here during lunch, so there was not many people there, but our server was fabulous. He was really attentive to our needs, and really explained the different menu items. I had the green chicken curry, which is my standard at a new Thai place, and it did not disappoint. My friends also had some other General Thai dishes, and they were also very tasty. We would recommend this Thai place to anyone in the area.

We ordered delivery for a family of six. The food was good. The green curry with chicken was everyone's favourite. The Pad Thai with shrimp was a bit sweet (not sure if that is a California thing), and I would have ordered it spicier. The Pineapple Rice was also quite popular. Don't forget to order extra jasmine rice!

Ordering was easy on DoorDash and dasher was very polite, being able to navigate into our resort.

Never disappointed

We had gone to Basil Thai in La Quinta the night before we visited Talay Thai. What a difference! While we loved Basil Thai, we were quite disappointed in Talay Thai. My husband and I get Chicken Larb at home on the east coast frequently and love it so we ordered it here. BIG MISTAKE! First, the flavoring in it was not good (meaning that the spices, etc. in it were not very good). More important, it was GRITTY. There were tiny white hard pieces in the ground chicken meat. It seemed they had dropped in uncooked white rice (the larb was cold, not hot). Recipes for larb call for the rice to be toasted first (so it should not be white) and then ground to a coarse powder. These pieces were not powder. They were grit, making it unpleasant even to chew. Further, they seemed to be in such a rush in the kitchen to get dishes to the tables that they didn't take the time to cut the onion to reasonable sizes. The red onion pieces were way too big. Unless you like to eat significantly large (like an inch by two inches) pieces of raw red onion, this was a problem. I use raw red onion often in dishes, but in small diced pieces, not pieces the size of a taco chip.
My husband and I both left most of the dish. When I tried to explain to the waiter what was wrong, he had no interest in hearing this, dismissed our comments entirely, shaking his head as if we were "wrong." The customer isn't always right, but in this case, our main course was inedible.

Talay is our most favorite Thai restaurant ever! Their food is always so fresh and always has the best flavors. I highly recommend this place to everyone that enjoys Thai cuisine. The staff is always sooo nice too!

By far the best Thai food in the Coachella Valley and one of the better restaurants overall

Terrible Thai

Had dinner here New Years Eve. Very few people were dining here at 7pm, however the food was wonderful. Loved the pad tai and panang curry. Will look forward to another great meal here in the not so distant future.

Amazing service by professional and so friendly Team
The food is excellent always fresh and tasty and lots of flavors
They always asked you if you want with spices or no spices at all.
We tried many restaurant Thai in this area .. this one is far away the very Best.
The prices is very affordable for the high quality of the food
They have some wines by the glass … excellent wines from
California.
Do not miss the dessert …
Always parking to park your car.
A GEM ❤️

Ate here yesterday and this is now my new favorite Thai food place in the desert! Service was great and food was lit!!

Excelente comida y un muy lugar para comer, con un excelente servicio

My wife and I came her for some pad thai and panang curry on our last day in Palm Springs. It turned out being great food and service. The pad thai with a spice level of 2 has now become my all time favorite pad thai. It was well balanced and the spiciness was not overpowering. The panang curry was great as well. Definitely suggest getting the Thai teas. They were just right now too sweet. The service was great. The server was labeled "Castaneda" on the receipt. I tip my hat to this gentleman, he was literally running and helping out all the tables. Loved this place, but it may need extra help to not stretch the waiters thin.

Great food. We enjoyed our seafood fried rice and Pad See Ew with chicken. Everything tasted fresh and had good flavor. One of the few good Thai places left in the Coachella Valley in our opinion. Service was friendly and quick.

Service was great and food was delicious. Ordered red and Panang curry. Can make dish American or Thai hot. Spicy level was on point.

A bit pricey for Thai food, but good food.

Stated out with the Tom Kha Soup; it was ok. It needed maybe lemongrass, bamboo shoots, or something to add some flavor. The chicken in it was ok. The baby carrots were a little strange for this soup.

My main dish was the Pad Thai (with chicken). Now this dish was very delicious. The chicken in this dish was tender and had plenty of flavor from the sauce. The noodles were cooked perfectly and I loved the fresh bean sprouts, carrots and crushed peanuts.

I had their Thai Iced-Tea with my meal and it didn't disappoint. It was rich and creamy while not being too sweet.

The service was pretty good as well.

The atmosphere was ok; a little plain but clean.

Garlic Dish was very tasty.

Excellent Thai food here!

The best Thai food in the valley. Great food and excellent pricing.A true hidden gem
in the desert.

The food is very flavorful and they always get the spicy level just right. I even have up to 5 spicy and it was delicious because the flavor is not lost. I order Thai a lot from many restaurants in Coachella Valley. Talay Thai is ONE OF THE BEST. I'm from Orange county and have had Thai home cooking. I would bring my Thai friends here. I only wish they had sticky rice and mango all year round🥭

Friends and I are never disappointed with the meals or service at this wonderful restaurant.

The food here is delicious. They cook it to your liking. The service was so wonderful.i recommend it to my friends and family.

My first lunch experience:
-Service was very good. - atmosphere was pleasant.. The food was unremarkable. Pad Thai noodles were just not good. Fried rice w/vegetables was steamed rice with vegetables?
Very bland. The Kirin beer was perfect lol. I’m a cook and I know my way around a kitchen. It was disappointing. Sadly many reviews are written by people who don’t even know the difference between great food VS mediocre food.

I was scrolling through the reviews for fun to see what people think of this place. I'm a regular here and come at least twice a week. The negative reviews are hilarious to me and seem like they could be from rival restaurants.

This is hands down the best thai food in the valley and better than most places in LA thai town. Also the staff here are incredible and extremely polite, they are truly amazing here.

Food is fantastic and my favorite dishes are drunken noodles, yellow curry, pineapple fried rice, and pad see ew. Always level 3 spicy but if you can't handle spice go with zero. If you want thai food in the valley this is the only spot to visit.

Yellow curry was one of the best I’ve had, extremely fresh vegetables and delicious food

First visit and it was enjoyable. Food was tasty and look forward to returning again.

Great place for Thai food. We love the food and servers are very friendly!

I would leave zero stars if I could. Terrible customer service! We had a misunderstanding on the order and asked the server (he is Thai) in a nice way but responded agitated and even worse rolled his eyes on me and heavy sighs. he was very unprofessional and rude, bad customer service! the food was ok, loved the thai tea. But with this kind of attitude, i’d rather not be coming back here and eat in a different Thai restaurant near the area with friendly staff than dealing with this entitled thai server!

Yellow Curry is amazing 👏 💛

Ordered Pad Krapow with beef (an extra $2.50) and the meat was so tough we couldn’t eat it. Also, the chicken satay was rubbery and undercooked. Awful meal.

Really great customer service! Food was spot on and I loved the tofu eggplant and mango sticky rice (sampler size). Will be returning very soon!

Pad Thai was excellent.
Server, Satad, was super!!

Great food, and great service

The food here is really great! A favorite spot.

I love Thai food

Excellent service and excellent food! Like a fool I didn't get our waiter's first name, but his last name was Castaneda. He was the only person working up front for the lunch period and though there were probably 20 people in the restaurant he was all over it. Super friendly, communicated, chatted us up. The food was also excellent. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for Thai and in Rancho Mirage.

Everything here is true Thai food, can’t go wrong with anything you order. The service is very attentive and polite, will come back and would recommend to love ones! Highly recommend the mango sticky rice, the blue color in the rice is from a Thai flower that is imported from Thailand. Again, super authentic.

Great food and service. First time here and looking forward to returning.

Great Thai place in the Cathedral City area. Got the Chicken Panang Curry and the Spicy Basil Fried rice- on point with spice and flavor. Great joint if you have a craving out here, or after a good hike out in Joshua Tree.

The green curry is excellent!

Best Thai food I have tasted in the area by far! Great service too. We will definitely be back.

A nice Thai restaurant in Rancho Mirage with good menu selections. I had a Panang Curry, which was very good. My friend had a meat dish with broccoli, which, unfortunately, was not cooked well enough. Since there were no knives available, he had to eat it by hand and took a large rest home.
The atmosphere in the back portion of the restaurant is dull. The front part with tall windows facing the road is much nicer and very inviting.

Best thai delivery by GRUBHUB in all California, good service fast and quick delivery very hot and tasty pad thai. 👍👍

We went for lunch, and although not very busy there was only one person who did an excellent job of taking care of the people that were there. I had the drunken noodles with chicken, a nice-sized portion and "2" out of 5 on the spicy scale. The noodles were cooked perfectly, lots of vegetables and chicken. My wife had the pad Thai, great flavor and a large portion. Lots of choices for Thai food in the area, but this was a great pick!

This is my new favorite Thai restaurant .

Without question, the best and most consistently good Thai food in the Coachella Valley. We have been coming here for 5 years and it’s still our favorite.

Amazing food and even better service! We had yellow curry and thai fried rice. The best curry I’ve ever had

We eat here when we are in the desert. Place serves unusual and unexpected choices and it is always wonderful.

Love the eggplant plate. Small cozy restaurant

Very good Thai food at competitive prices!

Best Thai food I've had in the area so far. The service wasn't that great, but we were expecting that going in. The server was friendly, but never checked on us. The food definately made up for it.

Almost LA quality Thai food

Talay is by far our favorite restaurant! We come here a couple times a month and the food along with the service is always great. I highly recommend trying it out if you haven't already.

Update: We have been coming here for years now and it is still our favorite. They recently added a new dessert and drink menu.

Wonderful food, fresh ingredients, friendly and attentive service. So happy we found you.

Very good Thai food. They didn't go all out to make you feel your at a fancy restaurant but they only have a couple servers and they are generally very nice.

Very friendly people. Panang Curry was very good. I highly recommend this restaurant. Also, they now serve boba or konjac drinks so try one!

You're welcome Tuk! I hope to eat there again if I'm in the area again!

Excellent food and great service. We have been there a couple of times and the server is one of the most polite and helpful persons we have ever had. Prices are reasonable.

Our first time at Talay. A very pleasant experience, we were greeted by a very friendly waiter, with a big smile. Very fast and efficient service, food was delicious and moderately priced. We will definitely go back. : ))

Best Thai food in the desert!
Love their won ton soup, Massaman curry and combination fried rice.
The Thai coffee was also delicious.

Great food and friendly staff. Decor a bit tired but this doesn’t matter as the food was good.

So I’ve tried every Thai restaurant in The Coachella Valley and THIS is the spot! The flavor of the trio sauce for the Pad Sam Rod is unmatched. The panang curry and the pad Thai are amazing. For anyone who likes real flavor and a clean restaurant with kind staff this is for you. If you really like spicy then ask for a 4 and above, a 2-3 is also enjoyable but not too spicy.

Food was good, have had better. Would I go back yes.

Service could be a wee bit faster on drink orders.

This is one of the best Thai places in Palm Springs, and I understand why. The wait staff is very friendly and the restaurant has nice ambience. The food is delicious but not the very best I have ever tasted. For most people, Level 2 spice should be more than enough. With clean restroom facilities also.

The staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was great. The Tom Yum Goong broth was perfect, but the seafood was lacking. Expensive, but in the area is to be expected

Green curry was fire 🔥 🌶 🔥 🌶 🔥 🌶 😋 highly recommend if you love spicy & flavor!!!

Unassuming atmosphere, but possibly the best Thai food I have ever had. Highly recommend!!

Best Thai in town without a doubt. Employees are slow very nice. Atmosphere isn't the greatest but that's how you know generally that it's a great restaurant when it's packed and the eating area isn't all that right

Very disappointed we wanted to try this place since it had good reviews, but the food was not as good as we thought, and every single plate and spoon that we got was dirty, So disgusting!!!

Amazing food and customer service👌

Excellent food here

Ordered pad thai, 4 of 5 spicy level (5 being thai spicy). It was sooo good. You could see bits of the red thai chili peppers in the dish. Pad thai came with thinly sliced cabbage and carrots, which was a nice veggie addition. Tofu also browned nicely.

Also got papaya salad, which was good but seemed sweeter than usual and couldn't taste fish sauce (might be americanized for PS?). Either way, pad thai was one of the best pad thai's I've had. It wasn't the usual boring noodles + bean sprouts, which i really liked.

Authentic grandma recipes 🔥

My wife and I have travelled extensively during the past 12 years over New Year. Our New Years eve meal has always consisted of Thai food along with a bottle of champagne. This year we were fortunate to discover Talay Thai. Our meals consisting of two varieties of curry and dumplings were to die for. What a great way to bring in 2022. Khob khun Ka to Talay.

This is a little hole in the wall style Thai place. We came here for a late lunch and the restaurant was basically empty. We grabbed some soju cocktails - the Bangkok Lover and the Thai Arnold Palmer. They were pretty expensive and had pre mixed cocktail mix in them. I probably would have gone for an Asian beer instead because they had a good variety. My partner did not enjoy the Arnold Palmer and did not finish it. There weren’t many staff around so our server also made the drinks and the service was pretty slow. For appetizers we started with the Thai dumplings which were pretty good. We then had the Pad Se-Ew and the Talay special seafood dish. The Pad Se-Ew was authentic and delicious. The Talay special seafood dish however was quite underwhelming and was poorly presented (stew in tin-foil). It was packed with seafood however the sauce was not very tasty and it was $30. The portions were very large so an appetizer and two entrees was more than enough for the two of us. We did not have room for dessert. Overall I would not recommend this place. Hole in the wall Thai food should be authentic, tasty and fairly cheap and this, for the most part, did not check those boxes.

I've never left a review but because of my experience here I made it a point!!
We were so blessed to find this place on Christmas! Great food and nice people!!
Even my man is Not Easily impressed was impressed! Lol Definitely recommend!

Great place! The staff were kind and the food was amazing!

Food was okay. Service was excellent.

Seriously great food!

Best Pad Thai and Tom Ka soup I've ever had, hands down.

Very tasty Thai food. Tried different dishes - all of them were pretty authentic.

The food is great. The portions arent very big

Little on the pricey side but that said very good Thai food. I had the Talay seafood combo, and it was delicious, also had egg rolls-very yummy 😋

My wife and I now make this a regular stop when visiting the area. Food is excellent, reasonably priced and service is excellent. Location is not in prime area but worth the drive.

AMAZING! Best Thai food in the entire desert area, hands down! This is REAL Thai food, NOT Americanized Thai food like everywhere else here. I used to live near Thai Town in L.A. I know Thai food and this is the ONLY Thai restaurant in the desert that tastes like authentic Thai cuisine. You will NOT be disappointed. This will be your go to for Thai, I guarantee you or your taste buds are dead.

I absolutely looove this place! The food is superb and the staff are awesome too, definitely recommend if you enjoy Thai food, I have never been disappointed by any of their menu items and neither have my friends, it is sooo good!

Authentic Thai cuisine with five star service. Aroydee! Elegantly presented dishes worthy of Michelin rating. Unexpected find for the Desert. The Haw Mok Talay is a must try if you enjoy seafood. This specialty takes 25 minutes so order ahead. Appetizers are taste worthy also. Soju and Thai beer complements each dish. Finish with Mango Sticky Rice in special Butterfly Pea sauce.

Very slow service and our pad Thai was extremely cold. Really tacky setting as well as outdated. For what we paid we were disappointed. The bathroom was extremely dirty and smelled like urine. You could see small roach corpses at the base of the trash can which was overfilled and looked sticky with a bad smell. Really poor experience here overall.

I had heard that Talay was a hole in the wall but, the best Thai in the Desert & I would agree the ingredients were superior to others.

The Pad Thai was truly exceptional and took me back 8 years to the quaility of food I used to get from Sunset Thai in Hollywood. My intention was to eat half and save the rest for later, needless to say I ate it all! Delicious!!

I expected the same of the yellow curry but not in the same league as the Pad Thai. The quality of the ingredients were excellent; superior chicken, the two pieces of carrot were weirdly huge, as opposed to the usual slices. Potatoes were the same, both were perfectly cooked however it was a dish of individual ingredients as opposed to a cohesive curry! I would think that this was a new batch of sauce with zero reduction and the liquid was immediately absorbed by the rice, leaving rice and dry chicken, disappointing but taking into account friends recommendations I'm thinking this was an unfortunate off day! End result dry chicken and rice which was not delicious enough to eat and will need a lot of help as left overs!!

As we are still in a pandemic the cuteness of "hole in the wall" is a euphemism for many things. Parking in the rear highlighted a lack of house keeping. Upon entering I was greeted by the server but not offered a table or takeout. It was clear that this would be a togo order. The staff were very sweet but the guy that served me was maskless. This combined with the line of sight and a continued feeling house keeping was lacking was a tad concerning.

For Dine-in the ambience sucked and the new party of 4 seemed to take all the server's attention. There appeared to be only 3 parties the 4 ordering, a party of 3 about to leave and a solo diner. Hole in the walls are great if the server owns the room and interacts otherwise it's awkward - Talay is perfect for TAKE OUT, especially for solo diners!!!

Pad Thai 5 star
Yellow curry 1 star
Housekeeping 2 star
Ambience 1 star

This is by far THE BEST Tai Restaurant I have ever eaten at. The Yellow Curry & The Panang Curry Are to die for. The plain fried rice and the jasmine rice are out of the word. The service is fantastic and I hope they are here to stay! I have taken my grandfather here 3 times and we just can’t get enough. It’s also just right down the street from us which is a huge plus. TALAY is a MUST try!

Food was just ok. Panda would have tasted better.

Nice decorations,. Authentic food choices but not enough spice. Bland taste yet pleasant presentation.

The food was really good. Especially the "crying tiger". It tasted like bbq and the fried rice was really good. Definitely would go there again.

Delicious food and great service.

Not bad at all.

Fresh food and 5 star service
Great place to eat.

Really good local Thai restaurant! The drunken noodles the side of white rice is phenomenal.

Very nice staff and great food (especially green curry).

Small, quiet, good service and GREAT food. Wish it wasn't so far for us to go or we would go more often.

I have had better Thai food.

Tasty food and quick service. Would definitely go again.

Still the best Thai place in the valley

So far, best Thai in the desert.

Authentic Thai food with reasonable prices. Highly recommend

The food here is OUTSTANDING and the folks working there are very very nice. This is our go to Thai place and it never lets us down - highly recommend

Very nice staff...food is great! Perfect for pandemic take out!

The food was very fresh and they go light on the oils and seem to use lean meats.

While not as rich as some other places, this tasty food will leave you feeling good!

Definitely worth the price!

Tasty....great food

Really friggin great Thai food. The fresh ginger...ahh...with wood ears...sooo good

I was looking forward tasting the food here based on the reviews but it was so disappointing. I ordered the chicken curry nothing special had way better at another authentic Thai restaurant back in LA. The curry was cold and obviously microwaved because it was ready in less than five minutes. Hopefully they see this review. I’m only providing 2 stars because service was nice. Won’t be going back again.

Great take out.

Good food, friendly staff. One of our go to places for carry out during the Pendemic.

If you like Thai food, you don’t want to miss this place when in Palm Springs. Food was amazing, even when it’s takeout. Service was extremely good. Really enjoyed it!

Food here was so good, just the perfect amount of spice - usually Thai places are too hot or too mild, but they got it exactly what I think of as ‘medium’ spicy. The Tom Ka was to die for and the tofu dish, being not too flashy and unexpectedly good, was the take away winner... which is not usually the case. Can’t wait to go back... about the 1 star review - all I can say is ‘pineapple rice’ sounds absolutely disgusting! So stay away from that one and you should be ok.

Great curry selection

Solid ThaI food, their Thai iced tea is amazing!

Great service, good. Just a tad pricey but worth it

Soooooo good!! My family and I had the pad see ew and yellow curry the first time. It was so hot and fresh, full of potatoes and carrots. This evening we ordered kao pad sapparod (pineapple fried rice), pad thai, and pad see ew via GrubHub. So good!! Will definitely order again and will recommend to friends and family!!

Excellent food and service

Good food
Take out only

DE-LICIOUS!
Great food, service and ambiance.

Great for nice meal and quiet. Wine was delicious. Fried coconut bananas to die for!

e xelent food nothing fancy but really fresh. the salted pork on a bed of lettuce, curry chicken and tai pad. made pretty much perfectly.

Very friendly staff. The curry was delicious and spicy, the restaurant was clean. I will definitely come back again. Also they make the food as spicy as you'd like. If you can't do spicy food they will accommodate.

Great food. Nice place.

Food was delicious and they had friendly service.

Food and service were excellent. Minus a star for not having a lunch menu. Price is high for lunch but it is a dinner size portion.
