Thai Spirit is one of the first Thai restaurants in the area and one of the best. It's been there for 40 years and the food is amazing

My first experience with Thai food was when my dad took me to Thai Spirit back in 1982. While it might not be the same name of the restaurant (I do believe it is though) the location is the same. That first taste of Pad Thai and an order of their roasted duck left an indelible mark on me, and I can happily report that Thai Spirit is still serving up some good Thai food. From their flavorful roasted duck to the choice of fried fish (trout or salmon), everything hits the spot. And let's not forget about their delicious Pad Thai - it's as mouthwatering as ever! Back in the early 2000s, we used to order from Thai Spirit all the time, and even with the influx of Thai restaurants in the area, Thai Spirit remains a standout. The authenticity and flavor are just as impressive as they were back in 1982. It's 2024 now so that spans 42 years of eating at this restaurant. That's pretty remarkable.

We have been having delivery from Thai Spirit for many years. Finally went into the quaint restaurant tonight. The food is always fresh and they have the best mee krob and padthai I've ever had. Jeffrey was our server tonight and was awesome.

Very good food, not the best but definitely good, solid Thai food. The atmosphere was a bit off as they had pop music playing with the TV on, too. So, an afternoon meal with soap opera dialogue with American music. Not relaxing for those of us who are sensitive to sound. I loved the light covers, painted to look like a sky. Nice touch! The booth and room temperature were comfortable. Again, food was good, fresh and hot, and served quickly. Server was nice. We would go back if we're in the area again.

We went for an early dinner, and got great service! The chicken Pad Thai was delicious! Decent portion sizes for the price. We were the only ones there at 4:30. There is not much parking available.
Wow, Best Pad Thai ever! Best steamed dumplings ever! The food just tastes like it was made with love every time, only way to describe it.Parking: Small turn margin to turn in, very easy to miss.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. The yellow curry was absolutely delicious and would highly recommend it. The service was really good and attentive. Always came by to check in and give water. Definitely my go to spot for Thai food whenever I'm craving it.

I was super hungry and in the area. I found it online and went in with no expectations since the place was empty. Wow the seafood special was amazing the sauce was so good I used my leftover rice to soak it all up. We also tried the salmon panang curry. The salmon was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be coming back the servers were lovely.
