Great food! I’m really picky about my Thai. Since I’m traveling, I was worried if I’d find a good restaurant.

Really good food, and our server, Terri, was great. We ordered so many things, and she took our order by memory. There was one small mixup but she corrected it quickly. We couldn't have been happier with her service. This was probably some of the best Thai food we've had. The chicken in lemongrass appetizer, the mushu pork, and the pineapple rice were the table favorites. We were there on vacation, but if we ever come back we'll be eating at this restaurant again!

It's a good place to go if you're craving spicy food while traveling in Korea. I asked for it to be spicy separately, and they told me to choose between 0-5, so I asked for level 4, but it was around the level of spicy chicken. The menu in the photo is a lunch set (including salad or soup, and unsweetened iced tea) and I had Pad Thai and Kung Pao.

I've been eating at Thai Smile since 1994, when they were at the old location. The food was delicious. Sadly, our food wasn't served hot, as it should be. It arrived barely warm. Eat on the patio and do some people watching. Palm Springs has lots of tourists and weirdos. Enjoy.

A little hold up when ordering but otherwise a great experience! All the staff is very welcoming and polite. Clean restrooms, parking behind the building. We had mild masaman curry and Thai iced tea. Delicious. Very reasonable prices, huge portions.Vegetarian options: You can get any curry, choosing tofu as a protein.

We dined with my colleagues at this restaurant on March 10, 2024. Due to the waitress's poor behavior and bad mood, we decided to leave only a 10% tip. I was surprised when checking my bank statement; she had applied an 18% tip!!! I do not recommend this restaurant.

Its possible it could have to do with the color of our skin: Me and a colleague are down in Palm Spring on a work trip for a conference and the restaurant was highly recommended to us by a local friend. During our lunch break we headed to Thai Smile with another acquaintance, we were three ladies in total.We walked in a busboy served us iced tea, 10 minutes pass by and no one comes around to take our order nor ask if we needed anything. Meanwhile we are trying to make eye contact with restaurant staff while 5 paces from our table there is this gentleman who is a server, busy in conversation with two customers at the bar. There is no problem with that. The problem is that he sees us, but does not acknowledge our presence. Until a supervisor noticed that we wanted our order taken and until she told this server at the bar he deigned to come to take our order.Then our food takes too long, but the place was not even busy to say that there is a reason for the service to slacken and foods to take longer than reasonable. The server mentioned above does not come to check on us, continues to be busy with other customers. A couple walk in the restaurant and sit near us and the server immediately leaves his conversation to take their order.What is curious is that the couple at the bar and the couple that sat near us were both white people, meanwhile we were three women of color. Maybe he did not think we were as important customers as them.Since the food was going to over 20 minutes from ordering and we needed to leave, and we had no update on our food. We left and let the manager know that his server was preferential to the other white customers compared to us. I may be wrong, but that is what it appeared. We left without or food and an a good portion of our time wasted.

The hostess with the blue hair treated us badly after she tried to seat 3 of us at a table by the window. She laid our menus on the table. But, when we asked if we could have a booth instead. She led us to the back of the restaurant and rudely "threw" our menus on the table and walked away. Easter Sunday 2024.
