Delicious food and nice quiet atmosphere. The coconut ice cream was fantastic.

Diner Review №2

We went there after the historic snow fall .
Some reason Only one server and I assume only 1 kitchen staff on Saturday's .maybe some crew did not show up.
Waitress is Great smilling she's accommodating everyone even they got busy have 5 tables plus 1 long table some birthday or something total six table plus she have takeout orders .so she indeed busy and hard working deserve recognition.
I have the stars because of her .
-ordered papaya salad said medium spicy but the mild for them are So much! like maybe they put 6 to 8 hot chili 🌶 it's very good but too much chili for me .
- ordered "crispy noodle" it was Burnt and very salty! I'm not a fan of it .I ordered it to another restaurant so I'm very familiar with it .
- ordered thai fried rice and was usual ones with much soy sauce .
But like I said They look like short on Staff maybe they only 2 and they have to do everything .The dining we tought for 30-45 mins become almost 1-2 hours .

Diner Review №5

The food is very tasty and you won't be waiting long. My only complaint is a little more white rice on the plate would be nice. Other than that it is very good.

Amazing experience

Diner Review №9

This is the best thai restaurant in the area. I would definitely recommend it. I get the Pad Woonsen and I love it. I get it with tofu instead of meat though. :)

Diner Review №10

Always great

Diner Review №11

My mom and I have been going here 10+ years. The Panang Curry is delicious and has a good variety of veggies, but the curry has been a bit thin lately. The spring rolls and soup they give at lunch is great! The restaurant is well cared for and not usually crowded. I've never had a negative experience with the staff.

Diner Review №14

The best egg drop soup I have ever had..

Diner Review №15

It was ok. I had the duck. It consisted of pieces of meat and vegetables in a sauce. The sauce was good. The duck was ok. Good, but priced a bit strap for what it was. Wait was about 20 mins. We spent close to 70 for 2 specials and an appraiser.

Diner Review №16

Very good food, excellent value. They've got the usual thai dishes (curries, fried rice, etc) all have been tasty. The lunch special is a great deal with a plate plus egg roll and soup.

Diner Review №17

I LOVE the food here. I would get the Pad See U literally twice a week. So good! And they are very nice there. I wish I knew how to make the dish to save me some money 😊

Diner Review №18

I had the lunch special sweet and sour. It is so good. I love how it come with soup and an egg roll. You can taste every spice and every vegetable in the dish. Love it

Diner Review №19

The atmosphere is always relaxing and the food is cooked really well with great seasoning. My favorite order to get is a special eel roll and the Taste of Ginger with chicken. Whenever I'm not feeling well, I get the Tom Ka soup with chicken and it helps me feel so much better. Definitely in my top three favorite restaurants to go to on the north shore.

Diner Review №21

The host is a bit eccentric...no big deal. But the Asian chef acted like he was mad because I didn't want the lunch buffet. I wanted sweet and sour pork. I was given a soup of sweet and sour gravy with vegetables in it...and paper thin 1/4 x 1/4 pieces of pork..maybe 6 pieces all together. No exaggeration...it looked like pieces of boiled pork chops. I will NEVER dine their again...for 13 dollars for sweet and sour soup? No ty. Oh, I did get a scoop of rice with it after waiting for 35 minutes.

Diner Review №22

Food is amazing , Highly recommend !

Diner Review №23

Just wow!! Find this little place while passing through Louisiana! I love duck and when I saw Duck Basil . . .I was quite excited. So glad I got it . . .It was amazingly tender, yet had crisp edge on some pieces, the veggies were cooked just right!!!! Had my family eating out of my bowl too as it was that good!!!
You will not be disappointed!

Diner Review №27

We tried this place for the 1st time and they might need extra staff for the floor. It seems like the waiter also cooks so no one is really greeting you or check on you. The food is pretty good but they come out one by one randomly so expect to eat separately with whoever you are dining with.

Diner Review №28

I love their food and the Som Tum salad is amazing!! Thank you!!

Diner Review №29

Sushi poke is so good 🙌

Diner Review №31

Food is fantastic! I love this place ❤️

Diner Review №35

THE BEST. Everything is good. Fast service and amazing food!! Just need the menu updated online!

Diner Review №36

They have really good food but if you choose to take it out pay attention to your bill they overcharged me buy $20 bought a total of 5 items which if I did my math right is $40 in my bill came up to $60 🙁

Diner Review №37

Decent atmosphere for a small strip mall restaurant. High ceilings, low impact lighting. Good service. There are two TVs but muted. The food was good.
Revised May 2022.... lunch with two others..all ordered something different from the he the lunch menu... the soup was too salty (and I can handle lots of salt). The Pad Thai was almost flavorless. The others had nothing to rave about.

Revisit. A
Nice lunch. Fast friendly service. The green curry was good. The room was very clean. I'll return. Perhaps they have a new chef since my previous visit.

Diner Review №38

Delicious Thia food

Diner Review №48

I've been to Thai Spice many times and have never been disappointed. Their Fish Sauce makes the Thai Cashew Shrimp totally irresistible. I no longer work on the north shore, but this is one of the restaurants that I miss most from when I did. I look forward to when I get to eat here again.

Diner Review №49

Great restaurant, food was amazing. The price was fair for the quality of food and the staff were very courteous. Highly recommend Thai Spice!

Another delicious meal! This time I had the Panang Curry w/ Shrimp and the Spicy Basil Fried Rice. This place knows how to do Thai food! Fresh and you can pick the spicy level of 1-5!

Diner Review №57

Eaten here three times, and it’s fantastic no matter what I order. Definitely my main choice for Thai on the Northshore!

Passing through on the 10 and love Thai so we tried the restaurant..it was awesome!! Hubby got chicken and I got shrimp..our waiter was so sweet and very attentive..it is decorated beautiful..the singing coming from the kitchen was a added bonus..

Diner Review №64

Terrible. Food was not tasty and orders were brought put separately. One person was completely finished eating when Second was brought and then third later. Sad. Service not great

Diner Review №65

All foods are great!!!! 🙏😋😋😋😋

Diner Review №66

Foods always very good reasonable price

Diner Review №67

IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I NEVER WANT THIS PLACE TO GO OUT 😩

Diner Review №68

Food is amazing close as I can get to real home laos cooking. Food is not spice if you ask for Thai hot it will roughly be hot wing spice

Diner Review №69

I noticed the place was dirty and sticky when we arrived. Then I found a roach in the bottom of the edamame bowl and we decided to leave. The owner was kind enough to not charge us but we won't be returning. There's also no kids menu.

Diner Review №70

Delicious Pad Thai

Diner Review №71

New phone number!

Diner Review №72

The Thai spice fried is the best!!

Diner Review №73

Went here a few years ago, it was amazing. Didn't go back until recently. I always forget about it. But I've now been 2 weeks in a row. I'm obsessed with this place. Calamari is perfect, spring rolls are awesome, hot and sour soup is amazing, and literally any dish you choose is a winner. Large proportions and excellent flavor. 10 stars. Thai beer is good too, and I don't even drink beer lol. My absolute favorite restaurant 😋

Diner Review №74

The food was okay nothing special they only had one person servicing the whole dining room so service was a bit slow but not bad prices were reasonable

Diner Review №75

Love Thai Spice! Food are always delicious and they are very consistent with it. Its my husband's favorite restaurant and me of course!

Diner Review №76

Exquisito 😋

Diner Review №77

Diner Review №78

Diner Review №79

Best bang for the buck man! LOVE this place! Been going for years! The setting is clean and fresh, the service is usually pretty quick, the food is abundant and DELISH!

Diner Review №80

Not impressed. Clean bright decor, no wait, quick service from kitchen. Server so-so. Prices average, but portion size smaller than average.

Steamed dumplings ok but lacked flavor, and the dipping sauce was overly sweet. Pad Thai was also too sweet and soupy, but I did like the heavy crushed peanuts (no bean sprouts or cilantro, points off). Pad See Yew fair, although good amount of meat. Basil Beef looked good but also lacked. I'm just surprised that a restaurant with the word "Spice" in the title would have such weak dishes within a genre usually known for intense flavors. Do they think Americans can't handle a little kick?

Diner Review №81

Best thai on the northshore, never disappoints

Diner Review №82

Food was fantastic!

Diner Review №83

Great family owned place. The wife and I each enjoyed Panang Curry (which was excellent). It was preceded by delicious Tom Yum soup and a spring roll. Dessert was fried banana and ice cream. Prices were reasonable (under $40 for everything). Our waitress (the owner’s daughter) was sweet and attentive. Cannot recommend enough!!

Diner Review №84

Thai Tea is awesome

Diner Review №85

Diner Review №86

Diner Review №87

Food was mediocre at best, although the soup was very good. The waiter was very quiet and didn't even answer when we asked about drink options. He didn't come to the table to ask how we liked everything or check on us at all...and of course you can barely tell if a person is smiling when they're wearing a mask, but the point is that he wasn't very personable. Oh, and with a name like Adam, I KNOW he knew English.
Also, the descriptions of the menu items were all the same aside from what spice was used, so really not much interesting variety.

Diner Review №88

I ordered the thai tea which was good, and the drunken noodle plate and some of the chicken was raw. I would not suggest eating the chicken there. The server was nice and under standing did not charge for it.

Diner Review №101

Best place in Covington

Diner Review №102

Service wasn't great & the online menu price was a tad off. I had the shrimp pad thai- it was very sweet with no spice. The wanton soup was good just very salty. I wouldn't order from here again, personally.

Diner Review №103

Fantastic food and great service. My wife had the red curry and I had the jungle curry (beware, the jungle curry was super hot, but I was warned by the server ahead of time). We both agreed that we would return frequently. The environment was very comfortable and surprisingly upscale for a strip mall location.

Diner Review №130

Diner Review №131

Good food and service. Plenty of spice.

Diner Review №132

Love the food, good service, nice environment.

Diner Review №133

I always enjoy Thai Spice. It is a small intimate restaurant. There's a couple of booths and a few tables. It's quiet and a nice place to bring a friend and actually be able to talk in a normal tone of voice. The food is very good. My favorite is the green curry with shrimp. I also like their noodle dishes. The steamed dumplings come with a flavorful sauce for dipping. The spring rolls are also very good. Their service is wonderful. You never feel rushed. The dishes arrive piping hot, not lukewarm like they had been sitting for any length of time. If you enjoy Thai dishes give them a try...you won't be sorry.

Diner Review №134

Absolutely fabulous thai cuisine. I've been a regular for 10 years, and they have never disappointed. Best on the northshore.

Diner Review №159

I've been here a few times over the years as I passed through Covington. Unfortunately the last time I was there, the food was not as good as it used to be, the taste was quite bland and the service was not very friendly

Best thai on the Northshore

Diner Review №161

Great food, but service SUCKS!

Diner Review №162

Food was excellent. Fresh and delicious.

Diner Review №163

There is a female server with glasses who has been there for some time now. I've been going for six years and she has in my last two visits single-handedly turned me against the place. if you're looking for rude, surly and inconsiderate service, this is the place!

Diner Review №164

Diner Review №165

My favorite Thai restaurant in Louisiana. Any time I am in town I stop here

Diner Review №166

Great food and very courteous service. I visit at least 3 times per month.

Diner Review №167

I travel 90% for work and always like to stop to eat at Thai resturants. And i dont recommend this place for another thai or laos person. Out of 50 thai resturant that i been in the U.S. this would be 1 of the worst. Rank 49.

Clean and welcoming. Delish food even though not totally authentic ( spicy). A must stop for any Covington visit.

Diner Review №179

Diner Review №180

We ordered takeout and it was good but it wasn't authentic. Nothing had any real flavor to it let alone was spicy. My thai rice was basically meat flavored and everyone elses food was super bland. While it wasnt the best, id be willing to give it another try but just make sure to tell them to make it spicy.
