Thai Spoon Cafe is a family own restaurant inspired by the Somsamai family's American dream and love for Thai cuisine. Traditional authentic Thai cuisine with a modern twist to it.
Small location, but doesn't feel overcrowded. Waitress was super nice and helpful. Fast and attentive service. Waitress still had a great attitude while in a cast. Food was amazing, it did not disappoint. Will be going back next time we are in the area, it's definitely worth driving out of your way.
this place was great. food was excellent. the service was friendly and fast. even the owner/manager came to our table to talk and to make sure we enjoyed. she seriously wanted to make sure we were happy and if not she wanted to make us happy. that was very surprising and beyond great customer service. definitely going back. we had egg rolls. drunken noodles[sorry no pic of this item]. orange chicken. the thai house fried rice. our friend hand the spicy steak salad and basil chicken.
Went to have lunch with a colleague, and the drunken noodles made my day! The curry was delicious and the service was exceptional.
I'll be back!
We ordered the drunken noodles with shrimp and the cashew chicken, our go-to Thai dishes, and were not disappointed. The food was delicious and came out within 5-8 minutes after ordering. Staff was friendly, professional, and very helpful without being overbearing. The establishment was also very clean. Overall, couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience for a Saturday afternoon lunch. Will definitely be coming back for more soon :)
This place is small and comfy. Pleasant atmosphere with quality food. My preference for any restaurant would be delicious food first then the ambience. Loved their food a lot. Of course, they can do a little bit more work on ambience but doesn’t matter to me unless the food is awesome . We tried yummy chicken curry puffs , Thai tea and Garlic Chicken. This is a must try place.
Their Pad Thai is really good and they make it consistently well. Have dined in and also picked up many times and really liked the food every time.

Very nice people…..Thai fried rice is my favorite and panang curry chicken….good food….
Went to each lunch and it was closed when supposed to be open 😂

Great food!!!
The food is very good. Nice people. The room is bright which can make it a little bright (sounds reverberate). But I really liked the colors and art. Very inviting.
Favorite restaurant in Redlands
Edit: I cannot articulate how much I love this restaurant. I haven't been here in years, yet I still dream of the Nuathoon and the Yentafo. I think about the broths and the flavors and my mouth waters even after all this time.
I made a trip to Redlands just to have the food again today and had the Yentafo again for the first time in years. On the first bite, I started crying because of how much I missed the flavor of the red bean curd broth, and the fact that it still tastes just as good as I remember after all this time. I also made sure to get an order of Nuathoon and Yentafo each to bring back home with me just so I can savor the food a little longer.
If someone asked me what I wanted for my last meal, the Yentafo from Thai Spoon would be my answer.
This place is solid.
OK
Chicken pad thai with added fried tofu and extra sauce and beef pad see eww are my staples here. The green and red curries are above average. They are probably one of the most consistent Thai places in Redlands. Thai house, Benjarong, eastern classic all provide a better atmosphere, however the food at all places are very inconsistent. This is usually my back up Thai spot if Roseapple is closed or if I can’t make the drive to my favorite Thai place in the IE- Twippitwan in Rancho Cucamonga.
We're fans. Yellow curry, drunken noodles, pad see kew (spelling?) all excellent.
I stopped here on my way home from work because the ratings were so good for both food and customer service. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that the customer is directly related to whether or not you like the food. I have been to other Thai Spoon restaurants in the IE. Truthfully, the food is not good at all of them; however, I felt confident about the Redlands location because of the ratings. I ordered the Curry Puffs, which were delicious. I also ordered Green Curry with chicken and fried rice. What I received looked very unappetizing. The cream in the curry looked curdled! I've never seen it like that - even in restaurants where it didn't taste great, it was still smooth. I told the waitress I didn't like the way it looked. She asked, "Why?" I explained that it looked like the cream may have been bad. I told her I wanted to order something else. She then said, "You're gonna pay for this one." I said, "No...I want a different item." She seriously wanted me to pay for the Curry as well as the replacement dish! I was so upset that I was going to just pay for it and leave. She then asked what other item I wanted. I ordered a replacement but had to confirm that she was going to remove the curry from my receipt. There was lots of yelling in the kitchen. In far less time than it took to get my curdled curry, she appeared with my replacement dish. In the process of getting my purse, I knocked over my water cup. She saw this happen and walked right by - without a word! She didn't even offer napkins!! She continued to laugh it up with other customers. She even brought my bill, still without asking if I needed napkins. I literally had to stop her to ask for some. If this is what you all rave about as "great customer service," I'll pass! So, so, so disappointing. I'm not even sure it's safe for me to eat my replacement meal... who knows what they did to it.
Love the eggplants in the green curry. drunk noodle also very yummy. Reminder to self to not forget my leftover curry again. I was so looking forward to eating it the next meal :c
Food was acceptable. I had the drunken noodles with beef and the shrimp fried rice. The noodles were a little over cooked and the rice was a little dry.
I don't think you'll ever get better service than here! Authentic Thai at great prices. I'm from California and now live in Iowa. I was just visiting, but when I go back I plan to get back to Thai Spoon!
A Redlands Gem. Everything is tasty.
My wife and I have been going to Thai spoon for 8 months, expect for the last couple of months,(Christmas shopping is not cheap) it was up to 3 times a week, the food is soooo good and love the ladies that work there especially Sarah who is the owner she is very nice and sweet.
Chicken drunken noodles! So good!
The take out is some of the best!
Service 10/10. Very friendly and helpful and wonderful service in general. The food is okay, got yellow curry and the taste was good but the quality of the chicken pieces were not good. Chicken was chewy/rubber like and tasted over stored. Rice was over cooked, no didcreprency between grains, middle was mochi-like.
Tom Yum yum yum
Screw up phone order and we’re not sorry. Double check the order because they will not make it right if you get wrong food
Undoubtedly my FAVORITE thai restaurant, spectacular food and fast service.
Great food great service
We come here often just for panang, chow mein and pad see ewwww.
Great food, reasonable priced
This place is very authentic. Try the spicy beef salad, it is made right. Thai basil and the drunken chicken are fantastic! Always ask for the mango and sticky rice but don't be surprised if they are sold out..it is that good!
So good!! And...my Thai tea came in the cutest carrier!
Refused to make food “extra spicy”
If your looking for spicy food, go elsewhere!!
The food is good but it is on the pricey side for take out food
Their curry is so delicious I recommend the pineapple seafood curry or the red seafood curry.
The food was delicious! The person I spoke to when ordering over the phone was easy to talk with, and when I came into the restaurant to pick up my order, she was so warm and friendly! This is a pleasant place, and I’ll be getting my Thai here again any time I’m in the neighborhood.
My wife and I absolutely love this place so much we went 5 times in 7 days, almost in a row. Their food is so good, I have several items so far and all are as good as the last. The ladies are very sweet, I think the prices could go down a bit but I do understand the prices being high in this crazy pandemic.
We love this place, food and the service are always great!!!
Highly recommend!!!
Found this place by chance and was not disappointed. Very good food and quick service. Definitely coming back!
A hidden gem with outstanding food & genuine customer care & appreciation!
Order before sit on table.
Too nosiesy.
Love love this place. They're closed on Monday's but they are such a good quick Thai option in the area. I love the atmosphere and you are always met with kindness.
You go in and order and then sit down and they bring it all to you. Easy quick and efficient. Which I love!
First and last time, pricey, don’t mind paying pricey but nasty and rude unacceptable.
Just a gem! We were greeted warmly, the food was fresh, delicious and promptly served. Plentiful and delightful vegetarian choices. We’ll be back! Do yourself a favor and order the Tom Kha!!
I've gone here for a few years and I'm always very satisfied with the food. The owner is also very nice.
Nice atmosphere, accommodating staff!

I would always come to get DoorDash from this particular restaurant and one day decided to try it but I got so busy that I never went back. When I come back I always get the same service and hospitality. I really feel like this is one of the best restaurants and houses. Some of the best people in this region and we need more restaurants like this and above all more people like this they are great. They're amazing. I can't really put it into words, but there's sometimes people that treat people really nice and I feel like they deserve the best in the world. And yeah like most Thai restaurants the food is amazing. Get the Golden Triangles.❤️
This is hands-down, the BEST restaurant in Redlands (I've eaten at nearly all of them!). I have eaten here at least a dozen times and have never had a bad meal. This place is a hidden gem because they rarely come up in Yelp searches and it frustrates me that they don't have more recognition. But, as you can see by other reviewers, this place is absolutely worth it. They're the nicest people too. Truly, take the time to go here!
Very nice little restaurant in an unexpected place, so don’t mind the tiny strip mall setting, the food is good, the people are friendly and the place is clean. I had Pad Thai, my go to when trying new Thai spots, it was cooked to order really fast and tasted great and fresh, very satisfying… I will come back for other dishes.
This place is a true gem in Redlands which offers many Thai restaurant options. It's just that the food is incredible.
The above was posted in 2021. The below almost a year later:
To follow up: the Gem 💎 remains true & the owners showed great attention to my mom who needs time to orient herself and was surrounded by people she knows as the city helps to keep an eye out for her, especially the Indian community. This understanding of my unique place in life by trying to get mom out is precious. It’s clear Thai Spoon is ready for Stardom beyond the locals who lived here for the longest and love it the mostest.
Stardoll Stardom.
Good food but small portions
Honestly I'm mad that I didn't try this place sooner. Don't be dissuaded by the strip mall location. The food is amazing classic Thai dishes and an easy online ordering option for pick up. The employees are friendly and helpful. They do a great job, also, with vegan options. I've been going here for a year, weekly, and I love the food so much.
Very clean and friendly staff. First time visit. The hostess allowed me the time necessary to make a decision and ask questions. I will return to try other options.
The best and very authentic! We will keep coming back here 🙏
Best yellow curry in redlands 😍 love this place!
Third or Forth time I have been to Thai Spoon always have ordered to go . we have enjoyed.
Great customer service!
One word: roach.
Great food fast service
We showed up at 7:50 she told us they are closed. It says on the door they don't close till 9
Good food prepared quickly.
Great food. Only offering takeout right now
Fresh food with excellent taste.
Excellent experience, great food and great service.
Yummy!
First time at the #1. Didn't know about it until now. Been going to #2 for years. Good to have another choice/location.
Excellent yellow curry, lots of other delicious Thai dishes. Easy breezy pick up and go and food is even better reheated the next day. 😋
Always tasty food and friendly service.
Best Thai food.
Must order the shrimp fried rice.
Great restaurant! Delish Thai food and great customer service. The green curry is absolutely amazing! And I don't usually even like curry. Highly recommend! It's our favorite Thai place in the area!
I could not get served by the bartender who acted in irritated that I had sent there to get food
Amazing!!! Delicious!!! Recommend- Pad Thai, Tom Kha. Second time having Thai food. Ordered take out for dinner family of 6 members, and we were all very impressed, happy and very satisfied with our orders. They're very polite, friendly and professional. When pick up They ask for Id and card and also double check your order is correct and nothing is missing. The restaurant is very clean and nice environment. Thank you! Thai Spoon Cafe! Sure be back!
One of the best Tai food around never had curry one of my favorites
Excellent food, great service!
Friendly place.
Friendly woman at desk, unfortunatly food was very disappointing... yellow curry was very bland, minimal curry taste more so coconut milk even after adding chili to it. Portion size is good for price, just wish it had actual curry flavor. And fried Tofu was hard and too much panko. Not a great meal, for 20$... not sure I'll be going back.
The server was super friendly and put up with our super talkative uncle. The food was quite impressive and I was surprised by the inside quality and everything when the outside looked so sketchy but it had good reviews online so we went here. It definitely didn't disappoint and the prices were pretty good.
Good service
Not good taste
Awesome food. Great prices!
Good food, good service!!
Best Thai Food in the area 👌👌👌
Very good very friendly 👍👍😀👍
Found this when I got lost into rhis neighborhood. It's a nice little Cafe.
Good
Best Tom Ka in town
Great food for a great price! Love getting their lunch deals, and ordering from them for dinner. Thai food is always fresh, and they make sure of that!
For lunch I ordered a chicken Curry and it was nasty, it tasted like it was expired. We went back to the location to replace the dish and they didn’t want to.
So disappointed!
Fabulously fantastic in every letter of the two word
Great hole in the wall spot. Had panang curry and drunken noodles, both fabulous! Medium spice rating was just right for a little heat!
Always a great good choice.
Fav cheap Thai around
Best Thai food in Redlands, CA!...
The Best Thai food and Service in Redlands. God Bless You Always.
Yummy
Delicious food
We've ordered take out a few times over the past couple of month. It's all very good. Couple things to note: their Panang curry has a kick even if you get it mild, so if you're spice adverse maybe stay away. It's really tasty though. The other is to make sure you know which Thai Spoon you're ordering from. There are a few locations, so don't place an order at the wrong one and then have to drive over to Highland.
Friendly staff, great food, good prices.
We were on hold for an hour with BJ’s and finally called Thai Spoon Cafe, they answered right away, order was ready almost immediately and food was fantastic
Cute little shop. Has mango sticky rice!
Food is amazing! Service is great and friendly! Bring a friend for a great lunch or dinner.
Food was good service 👌
Ordered Nua-Thoon and Green Curry with veggies. Easily the best and most authentic Thai I've had in LA, hell, on the West Coast. (I should qualify my review for you skeptics it there: I've lived in southern Thailand 3 times in my life.)
Lovely little Thai place.
Yummy food!
Good eats
Delicious food, great service.
Food came out quickly, the menu is fairly priced and the service was friendly. We had the tom ka chicken and chicken fried rice. Both were delicious :)
Always have a great time eating here. The food is great and so is service. A cozy little place for lunch or a dinner date! (Try the Iced Coffee it’s amazing!)
Good food
The Google is definitely following my every move 🍀 the GOOG
So shred dude
Customer service was AMAZING. Super friendly. Unfortunately the food wasnt as great. Might just be me but I'm not going back anytime soon.
It’s very delicious tasty and the price is affordable, I will strong recommend this restaurant~
Good food, great service and clean atmosphere
Best Thai restaurant in Redlands! Flavors are great and rich, and prices are very fair for the quality and quantity of the dishes.
Holy cow did it taste great 2 thumbs up!!! Left full 4 of us ate great price!!!!
Bomb . Com.... hidden gem in not the best location but worth the visit
Excellant food! What a great little spot, a hidden gem!
Very good we went in as a party of 6 and added 18% gratuity. Some in my group didn't appreciate it
Great place and food. Very beautiful inside and clean. Great service.
Wonderful! Always great to eat Thai by Thai!!!
Great food. Drunken noodles & green curry are 👍👍
My favorite thai food spot
I'm picky when it comes to thai food. Once I found this place, I've not been to another thai place since. Fresh ingredients, delicious food, you can't go wrong.
Great tasting Thai food for a moderate price. Large menu as well.
