This was a mixed bag for me. The food was pretty good, I would say, above average. I really loved the full mushrooms.. morals I think. That was nice. Service was decent. We were close to closing time, but they were not pushy or anything. The negatives were two fold. First, I really wanted mango sticky rice, but that was like 10 dollars. That seems expensive to me. In most places it's about 6 dollars, at most. So I didn't get that. Infact most everything on the menu was wildly varied in price and it didn't make much sense. Second was the atmosphere... Look I am a big guy, and they put us in a booth that had about 3 feet between the table and you. I had to sit all the way forward on the bench in order to reach the table. It seemed like all the tables were like this. Over all the environment was somehow a mix of both super plain, and stereotypical Thai decorations. It felt like someone took a typical average restaurant and pasted in the first decorations they found in a catalog. Would I eat here again, yeah.... Would I seek it out, probably not when there are such better places nearby

We came to Thai Chili for the first time this week and, overall, had very tasty dishes. As Thai Food "foodies", we are always on the look out for a good Thai place. We ordered the Crab Ragoons, Basil Beef and the Massaman Curry (Pork). Our meals started off with a steaming hot bowl of hot and sour soup which was quite good.The Crab Ragoons were delicious and very "crabby tasting". We both loved them.
The Basil Beef had a wonderful balance of flavors and plenty of mushrooms! The Massaman Curry was the star dish! Absolutely delish! The atmosphere was pleasant and with the exception of a rather sticky table, nice to dine in. We will be back!!

Diner Review №5

Enjoyed my pad Thai!!!

Diner Review №6

Man!!! This USED to be MY FAVORITE!!! In all areas! I used to always order the beef larb, chicken tom gai soup and two fresh rolls, and a few beers. I don''t know if this was just an off day, but they gave me fried rolls not once, but twice, and totally forgot the soup.. I usually never complain, but when i asked for the rolls to be remade, the waitress gave me an attitude. Sorry to say, I won't be back. SUPER SAD

Diner Review №15

Took my wife here for dinner and we were not disappointed. We were seated right away, everyone was super nice, and the food was amazing! I usually order the Thai basil chicken😋, but this time I decided to try the Shoo Shee Salmon....OMG! I was not disappointed! Now I'm wondering what other deliciousness awaits on their menu😊

Diner Review №16

I visited Tacoma Art Museum and searched restaurants near me to find this gem. Absolutely outstanding food, perfectly spiced with attentive service, beautifully presented. One person in our party has food sensitivities and the server recommended how to talk about them to get best results.

Diner Review №17

I expected more based off what my coworkers told me about. The lady taking my order didn’t listen to me and I got up charged for an item I didn’t order. I couldn’t eat what she rang me up for cause I’m allergic to seafood. The food was bland to top it off, it was not worth the 30 bucks I paid

Diner Review №18

I stopped in for lunch. The price of $10.95 for their lunch specials seems very fair. The service I received was great. Unfortunately the food was disappointing. It seemed somewhat bland. I will probably not go here again.

Diner Review №19

I always order their classic fried rice and every time it is absolutely delicious! They're super fast too.

Diner Review №20

This is one of the best places in Tacoma to get spicy food and some of the best Asian food in the area.

Diner Review №21

Great tofu.

Diner Review №22

ITS SOS OSOSOSOOSOS GOOD PLEASE GIVE AND RESPECT THE LADY SHE IS SOSOSOSODO NICE AND AWESOME FOOD WAS SO YUMMYYYY

Diner Review №23

I usually come here to order red curry to go and food quality is good. But today it was so bad, it was basically inedible. Zero flavors! Curry sauce was basically dirty water.... not only i feel cheated, they should probably compensate me for the time and effort it took me to go there.

It was around 9pm when i ordered, and they close at 10pm. I don't know if that has anything to do with the poor quality, but cmon!

Unless I'm offered an apology, and a promise that this won't happen again, I'll never order from this place again.

Diner Review №24

Went in for an early dinner this week. Noticed the place was empty and fortunately I found out why before ordering. I was greeted by a German roach (type that lives indoors and causes infestations). We left immediately, because if they're on the table in broad daylight, they're definitely in the kitchen.

Diner Review №28

Incredible food. I got the garlic pork. They made it spicy.

Diner Review №29

I’ve been coming to this location for over five years, almost every weekend. The service here is usually great but their new server Sarat is terrible and EXTREMELY rude.

I place a phone order 30 minutes before picking it up, I came in to pick it up 35 minutes after calling. I’m waiting to pay and ask if he can take tap and he says “yeah, it’s waiting on you” with an attitude for no reason. I pay and ask which one is mine and he says “it’s not ready yet, I said 20-25 minutes.” So I proceeded to tell him I called 30 minutes ago.

Just a bad experience after a long day at work. A server has no reason to be that rude. Probably won’t come back again, I’ll just go to the next location.

Diner Review №30

Very cheerful, helpful server. They like cash payment.

Diner Review №31

Chicken pad Thai, delicious and huge portions. Spring rolls, delicious. Garlic chicken, delicious.

Diner Review №32

Tom Yum soup with tofu was yum yum.

Diner Review №33

They were very attentive and our server was absolutely fantastic. Had a great time here, water was always filled and the food tasted great. Really enjoyed my drunken noodles and fresh rolls! Everything our table ordered was tasty. Will come again!

Diner Review №34

I never been to the restaurant personally I always ordered through DoorDash , but with even using a third party the food is absolutely amazing every time 🫶🏻 I always will recommend this place !!!!!

Very good Thai Tea and kind employees!

Diner Review №38

I used to like this place, but this place isn’t good. I wanted to vomit today after eating. Nor is this place authentic. I like the atmosphere, but if you want better quality and real authentic flavors, try out Loak Toung Thai. Seriously, best Thai food in Tacoma hands down. Hole in the wall. Sadly they’re closed until Feb.

I ordered the Thai Chili Beef with sticky rice on the side. It looked nothing like the photo on their menu. The menu photo shows a very dark sauce similar to chocolate, and the beef looked extremely tender and juicy and covered in sauce top to bottom. The consistency also looked thicker, The meal I receive was way over cooked. The beef was so dry I couldn’t eat it. It was disgusting. The soup today, the one they serve for free, was also disgusting. They put sweet chili Thai sauce in it 🤦‍♀️ It was weird tasting and the flavors didn’t seem to blend well. Last but not least, the sticky rice. The stick rice was gross. Lots of hard spots where it was inedible. This isn’t real sticky rice. Idk what kind of rice they try and sell as sticky rice, but I can tell you that, that ain’t it.

Sticky rice doesn’t actually stick to your fingers. It’s a finger food. It sticks together.
To cook sticky rice properly, you need a glutinous rice and it needs to be soaked for several hours and then steamed. It’s delicious. They’re also not the only Thai restaurant that does this, but if you’re gonna pay $4 for it, make your own. It’s very easy and don’t use google for instructions because they have incorrect information about it. As far as the server, she was nice. She took the order and served my food. No check-in in between.

There’s way better Thai restaurants in Tacoma with the same price point. If you want real thai food, I highly recommend anywhere else lol. Not sure why they think their food is authentic. I can get everything they serve here at any other Thai restaurant besides their signature Thai Chili Beef dish.

I had phad Thai with tofu and it was delicious! The sauce was almost sweet and sour with a vinegar undertone. It was unique and really good. I also had papaya salad which was perfect. The service was friendly and the atmosphere clean and family friendly. It was a great experience and I will go back.

I just ordered chili Thai on Uber, it came piping hot and I'm always very reluctant to order the panang curry because most places just don't make it good and it was spot on.

Diner Review №51

I just ordered pad see ewe with an order of crab wonton through Uber Eats. I had special instructions for each order. Not only were the noodles spicey(5 star like I ordered), but they were saucey, and cooked perfectly! The crab wonton showed up warm and crispy, they even made sure to cut a vent in the Styrofoam to keep them from condensation. 5 stars for a busy Friday night. Definitely not affordable to eat every day, but worth it tonight.

Diner Review №52

I ordered Pad Thai with LEVEL 2 spice. Good flavor but the chili peppers took over the whole dish and I only asked for level 2. That was way too spicy for my liking. It wasnt just a mouth burn, it was a whole different level of spicy. My face and chest was on fire more than my mouth! Unfortunately I couldn't finish it.

Diner Review №53

Ordered Uber eats. Arrived quickly but was bland, very greasy, and barely edible.

Diner Review №54

Diner Review №55

Simply the best!!! We have tried pretty much every Thai restaurant in a 20 mile radius. Nice people, interesting decor (we are getting food to go), and the best food. No MSG that I've found. (I keep forgetting to ask - it just isn't there.)

Diner Review №56

A very great and lovely place!!! I loved their food as I ordered a sampler plate and red curry with pork! It was delicious and a more appropriate serving size which was great! The quality was amazing and I ate by myself where there was no judgement. Water was very good too I love lemon water.

Diner Review №57

Great food and great people!

Diner Review №68

I ordered my food using UberEats, it was made and came to my door within 30 mins since ordered.. that was good but we ordered the curry and house spicy noodle level 5 (very spicy) and they are not spicy at all. Like level 2 at best.. I ordered from here before so I know what level 5 normally tastes like. I can hardly see any signs of chili inside our foods.. plus the noodle and the tofu came soggy.. very disappointed so I don’t think I’ll ever order from here again 😢. There’s better thai restaurants in Tacoma.

Hands down the best Thai food in tacoma.

Been getting chili Thai for a few years. Love the fried rice and pad Thai

Diner Review №73

Really good

Diner Review №74

I come here at least once a week. I placed an order to go and came to pick it up. Once I got home I realized my order was wrong. I call to let Chili Thai know and the girl that answered the phone was very rude. She asked what was wrong and I told her there was raisins in my pineapple fried rice and then she says well what else… I said it was also made with brown rice. She then proceeded to lie to me saying they didn’t have brown rice (which was a lie because I ordered 2 sides of it for my husband) so I tell her that’s not true etc . So then she tells me to tell DoorDash so I can get a refund. I tell her I didn’t order through DoorDash so she says come back tomorrow but I won’t be here so I’ll tell someone. Well that was Thursday last week and today is Monday. I come in to get my replacement and of course nobody knows anything about it. I understand mistakes happen but the lying and rudeness is what irritated me and then I drive all the way here to get a replacement and nobody knows anything about it. I spend at least $50-$70 a week here and it’s disappointing so I guess I’ll start going to the Puyallup location.

Diner Review №84

Always have had a good experience at Chili Thai, no matter which branch!!

Diner Review №85

The flavors were awesome, but I don't think my food was fully cooked. I know when some places are in a rush or have too many orders they tend to overlook things. Undercooked meat is something that should not be overlooked. Someone can get really sick and can be fatal if not careful.

Diner Review №86

Very clean, nice place with great food and service

Diner Review №87

Delicious food, great prices. We don't live near by if we find ourselves in the area, we'll be back!

Diner Review №88

Still waiting after 20 minutes for hot tea. Mentioned it twice already to the waiter. Only 59 degrees in the restaurant so not comfortable at all. Turn on the heat!

On 09/24/2022, I ordered Chicken Pad Thai via GrubHub from the 3213 S. 38th St. Tacoma, WA. location. Since moving to Tacoma, I've been going here for quite some time, I usually go pick it up myself but every now and then I have it delivered. Boy, has something changed with this restaurant, maybe new owners, new cooks, I have no idea what changed other than the quality of their food. The Chicken Pad Thai was absolutely inedible. First off, when I opened the container I saw the noodles sitting in an orange in color pool of grease. I was so hungry, I pulled from the top of Pad Thai, took a few bites but the noodles were way undercooked, I couldn't even chew them. Not much chicken in it and what was in their was so tough to chew, like it was overcooked or been sitting out and dried up. This is the worst food I've ever had from them. This place use to be really good, but something has definitely changed here. I have been a loyal customer and not only going inside to sit down for dinner, to picking up food to go or having it delivered every now and then. Maybe having food delivered, they just don't care about what they serve out of their kitchen. I ended up throwing it away it away, might as well of lit $23.00 bucks on fire. I will never order from them again. I live 2 miles away from this restaurant and I was the delivery drivers direct run, meaning he didn't have any stops in-between. Time to find a new Thai Restaurant that cares and takes pride in what they serve out of their Kitchen!

Diner Review №97

Very good. Pretty authentic with good service.

Pad Thai and mango fried Rice are my go to dish💕💕💕so delicious!

Diner Review №100

It’s been a few years since I’ve eaten here. Last time, I remember the staff being very attentive. This time, not so much. We were not offered a water refill until after we paid our bill.
When we walked in, we were ushered to the first table. We sat down and immediately noticed a dead bug on the table. Okay. That’s fine. Then we look around to see nasty window ledges, spattered food on the window and curtains, the floor was dirty, etc. if the dining room looks like that shortly after opening, what is going on in the kitchen?
The toilets were clean, but nothing else in the bathroom was. And you have to wave like you’re waving to a relative you haven’t seen in 20 years, just to get a paper towel out of the dispenser. Frustrating.
We received our food in a very reasonable time. Around 10 minutes. The food was very tasty, but spiced heavier than the typical Thai restaurant. I ordered a 2, but it was more like a 3. So, I recommend ordering a 1 if you would like a 2.
My wife had Rama Garden with chicken and I had cashew chicken. She loved hers, but halfway through my cashew chicken, I realized there were no cashews. I knew something was missing.
Overall, the food was good. Would have been better with all ingredients. The cleanliness is poor. And the staff is nice, but inattentive.
We will go elsewhere from now on.

Update March 2022: still great! Added pics this time. Service excellent, food excellent.Dined in today.

2020: Its been a long time since I've been here but today I ordered through Uber. Its pretty close to my house so the food arrive very hot like we were served at the table! We had the Massamun Curry, fresh rolls, and Kee Mao Noodles. Sorry forgot to take a picture. Every thing was delicious. I like my curry a little thicker but the flavor was great!
The fresh rolls didn't have the usual peanut sauce that most places give the dip that they sent was good (maybe a fish sauce mixture) The Kee Mao Noodles had lots of flavor and lots of mushrooms loved it! We'll definitely order or go there again!

Diner Review №126

Picked up take out, waited for order. 12$ and change, but did not tip since I wasn't dining in and didn't have a server. Charge on bank was 14 and some change a few days later. Assume they added a tip even though I crossed that area out. I'll never eat there again on principle...never seen a restaurant do this.

Diner Review №127

Love this place! Great food and wonderful customer service. Everyone working the register has always had the best customer service

I ordered 4 dishes and two had issues. The wide noodle dish I ordered was 3 star and it was super hot. The Rama garden was a smaller portion than expected. The guy on the phone said they have a new cook. I'm sure they will improve but it not up to par.

Diner Review №131

Diner Review №136

Mediocre at best. I ordered Pad Thai with NO EGGS and what did I receive?…Pad Thai WITH eggs. ( I ordered over Uber eats)

Diner Review №137

My favorite place for pad see ew in Tacoma! My wife and I would order here all the time. When I go in, they’re very pleasant and busy, which can tell you that the food is great. However, lately our to-go orders, including Uber eats, (which I recognize a business understandably doesn’t view the same as dine-in customers) the to go containers are literally half as full as they used to be. I understand it’s a business, but with such small portion sizes, it may be worth going to one of the many other Thai places in Tacoma

Diner Review №150

Ordered for takeout. The food was ready pretty quickly. I got a spicy curry and my partner got very spicy. Only issue was his wasn't spicy at all- to him.

So, for those that like things unreasonable spicy (I.E the halfway mark on Hot One's), this may not be the Thai place for you.

Oh, I am allergic to shrimp and forgot to note that on the order. It didn't matter though because there wasn't any cross-contamination! Awesome because I am running low on benadryl.

Diner Review №151

We love Chili Thai!! Our family would go all the time when they were in Lacey. So happy we found them in Tacoma. Great food!!

Diner Review №152

Staff members are always nice and attentive.

Diner Review №153

We've been going to Chili Thai for YEARS! Last night was another great meal, we get 3 or 4 different entrees then share family style between my husband, son and myself. Then we look forward to yummy lunch leftovers the next day. We're in Gig Harbor and it's so worth the drive over! 38th, and the one in Puyallup of the freeway are our two favorite locations.

WOW!!!! We ordered several dishes for delivery for a banquet dinner, and we were absolutely blown away by every single one! In a very long stretch of covid-delivery meals, this is a shining star. I particularly recommend the Tom Kha and wings!

Diner Review №157

Great Thai place in Tacoma

Diner Review №158

We are "regulars" now =] These folks are very clean, allergy-conscious, and will work with you on dietary issues! The Pad Thai was just amazing! *Thank you, Chili Thai for having vegetarian and vegan entrees!

Diner Review №159

I went there on valentines day.... BEST VALENTINES DAY EVER!!! The pad thai is the absolute best. Probably my favorite place to eat 10/10 recommend

Diner Review №160

Diner Review №161

I had the Tofu Pad Thai here and omg, the Tofu was cooked perfectly, and the noodles were not too spicy. The staff was friendly and helpful when it came to questions about the menu, and how things are prepared. I am Vegan, how my food is cooked is very important to me. I definitely intend on making this place my go-to thai spot.

Diner Review №162

Diner Review №163

Thai food is, generally, a staple in many vegetarian diets. So I was surprised that they didn't offer any vegetarian fresh rolls. I asked if it would be possible to replace the meats with tofu, and was told that they could definitely do that! No problem! Imagine my surprise when I pick up my food and the fresh rolls have shrimp on them. I bring them back, explain once again that I wanted vegetarian tofu fresh rolls, and am assured my order will be correct. I get them and open it to see no shrimp or chicken, but also no tofu. I go back, three times I'm ordering now, and explain in explicit detail what I wanted. Lo and behold, when I receive the new, "correct" rolls, they've got chicken and no tofu.

This was only ONE of the orders that continually got messed up. I'm not ever going back here, it shouldn't take four tries to get an order correct. Meeting up once is forgivable, but that many times? That's just inexcusable.

Diner Review №164

Diner Review №165

Pad see ew. Chicken. Flavor was OK, I've had better. Not much broccoli in it. If I tried this place again, I'd get something different. This was my first time trying this place so idk about the other dishes. With Covid going on, can't really judge customer service. I ordered online and then when I picked up my food it was very simple.

Diner Review №166

Diner Review №167

Food wasn't quality. Barely any rice for a huge container of curry. We asked the curry to be least spicy and the drunken noodles to be very spicy. My toddlers burned her/his mouths and my husband had sweet drunken noodles. I wish they would be more careful when applying spice. Making sure it's the right plate that gets spiced up. Pad thai didnt taste or look like pad thai. .. pretty much not impressed overall and will not be returning.

Diner Review №168

We had purchased our order through DoorDash, and the order was incorrect when it arrived. I called and they offered to make the correct order for us if we could pick it up. They were super apologetic, and even threw in a couple of Thai iced teas to say sorry, which was so sweet of them to do!

Diner Review №169

The coconut prawns are soo stinking good and a goood size. Pad thai is big enough to share. Pineapple fried rice isnt a sweet treat like you'd think but may be my new fav rice! This is a MUUUUST try

Really enjoy every time we come here. Food is great and service is always very nice. Pad Thai with added pineapple :)

My brother and I had arrived by 8:15 to meet our family for dinner. The guy working, was preparing our table and assumed only two. I had told him, it’ll be a family of 5 total— as the rest of my family walked in. The server immediately stopped and said, “we’re closed.”

The hours of operation on the front door, their website, etc.. states they close at 9pm. It’s obvious the sever did NOT want to work. It’s obvious the server did NOT CARE for any business.

Diner Review №185

Food was too fishy smelling for my liking.

Diner Review №186

I deeply wonder if Chili Thai is under new management. The service has gone from extremely high to abysmal. My wife and I ate there often and was pleased with the service and food. However, we noticed a difference in the service and quality of food over the last few visits. This included phone orders.

The final straw for us was or first visit after the restaurant reopened for dine i. n service. The waitress was more rude than she had been prior to the closing

I ordered fried egg rolls and rangoon and it was fried to perfection however the taste was nasty. The crab rangoon has these chunks in it not creamy at alland the dipping sauce was too sour. The fried spring rolls were mushy inside. Did i mention i paid $18.00 for these 2 items. Yea, this was a true mistake.
