My experience at Thai Spice was a mix of frustration and potential. While most of the staff were friendly and doing their best to be helpful, the restaurant felt like it was operating in a state of disorganized chaos due to a clear lack of leadership. Despite having a booking, we faced a long wait before being acknowledged. While many team members were kind, we encountered significant rudeness from one or two individuals when we raised a concern about a dish. This inconsistency, combined with the high-pressure 75-minute dining limit, made for a stressful evening. It’s a shame, as the hardworking staff are being let down by poor management. There are many other Thai spots in SF where the experience is much more cohesive. I would love to get my money back!

Amazing Thai. We walked 1mi up the hill from Chinatown for this place … was well worth it! Great authentic Thai food, laid back atmosphere, great service. Try the Num Tok (medium spicy) and some Chicken Satay for app!

Gives off a warm vibe. The food is not served all at once which is assuring that they have plating my food and not heating the dishes to serve. I like how the pictures from the reviews and website are consistent. I loved the good and might come once again especially for Khao Soi (vegetarian). FYI: They stop taking people in just about 30 mins before their closing time and apparently don't do reservations. Luckily we went early this one time and only had to wait for 15 mins or so. The staff is really warm, always greet you with a smile every time you have eye contact and ask if you need anything. Around rush hours and closing time, they usually do a last call for you to order but still drop in once or twice to confirm which is really sweet. Been a while since I reviewed any eatery but Thai Spice is so worth my time ;)
