I ordered their yellow curry with tofu and asked to remove fish sauce as I frequent Thai restaurants and know that several use fish sauce for curry. I was very pleased to hear that they do not use fish sauce in any of their curry. Food arrived and presentation was remarkable. That's where the positive experience ended. Yellow curry is my absolute favorite dish, but this one was nothing but flavorless paste. The tofu was also unseasoned. My wife got a non-vegan dish and also said hers was incredibly lackluster. To make the experience worse, not once did a waiter come to our table to check on us or offer refills. The cherry on top was watered-down soap in the men's restroom that probably does not meet sanitation standards. The sugar on the top on the cherry was the cost. Never in my life have I paid $23 for Thai curry. To spend it on such a lifeless dish was a complete insult. I would not recommend place by any standard.

The taste of all the items is really great but the prices seem to be on the higher side. A 20% mandatory gratuity, credit card fee etc felt misleading. These are on top of an already high priced items. And at the end, there is another tip section on the final bill, along with a pen. Wait, you already added a 20% tip yourself, then you are misleading me for another tip on top of that?

The service was really disappointing, and the staff were quite rude. We went on a Saturday night as a group of three. My husband didn’t want to order any food, but they insisted on charging him $4 just for sitting at the table, which felt very unreasonable. I also found out that the food is very expensive, especially considering the overall experience. Definitely not worth it.

I wish there was a zero star. as much as I try to be kind, there ae places that forces you out of your comfort zone, this is one of those places. unbeleivably bad fried rice and red curry. even the water melon they give you was tasting bad. the quality of chicken was terrible. For a place that is arrogant to charge you what it does and then some, this place needs to be shut down. Literally. no ill intent against the owners or anything, but they need to figure out what they are doing before just running a restaurant and ripping off unsuspecting tourists who have no clue. what a mess of a place. my son who loves thai food could not eat more than a scoop of his fried rice. it was that terrible. I have said enough. but, this place needs to go away.. I am appalled by the good reviews. how ignorant are these folks. only thing I can think of is that they have not experienced good thai food and have no reference point. it cannot be anything else..

Worst restaurant experience I had by a mile and the second worst one is not even close. Firstly The food is super expensive, on top of that they charge 4$ extra if you share entree, gratuity of 20% is mandatory even if it is one person ordering food plus mandatory credit card fees. On top of this, we waited for more than 45 mins for our food and still they didn’t bring. Even we asked why is it taking so long, their response was that everyone is hungry and you need to wait. Funny part is there are not many people in the restaurant and there is very less space to have huge volume of customers in the first place. Even after 45 mins they didn’t even give an estimate of how much more time it will take even after asking multiple times. All they said after 45 mins was you need to be patient and everybody is hungry and it can take any amount of time and we can’t give guarantee. It was funny and pissing experience at the same time because there are not many people in the restaurant. They also made some racist discrimination after which we decided to leave the place.

Questionable hygiene and tip extortion. The old lady at the counter forced us a big tip ! The toilets were clogged and lots of flies in the dining area. Won't recommend.

Left the restaurant just after receiving our drinks. Unsweet tea tasted awful, the waiter didn’t care. Bad attitude, bad service, bad atmosphere.

Favorite place to eat. Some of the reviews are ridiculous. Don't be broke. Get the green curry.

Excellent food, really enjoyed my dinner after long time.

We stopped by this little gem called Thai Spice, and right from the start, the owner greeted us with such warmth—it really set the tone for the meal. My wife had the coconut milk soup, which was rich and flavorful, and I ordered the Crapar Shrimp. It came in a deliciously filled casserole with vegetables and shrimp, and the crispy rice at the bottom added the perfect texture. I absolutely loved it.
If you're in Corpus Christi and craving top-of-the-line Thai food, this place is a must-visit!
I went to this place many times growing up. I just got to go back and tried the panang curry chicken and Thai iced tea. The curry had such a good flavor. The tea was also very good. This restaurant has maintained a high quality for many years. Would definitely go back whenever life takes me to Corpus.

Pricey..but so worth it. Amazing dishes with a nice variety of protein to choose from including gator, frog legs, scallops etc. The owners were nice, and welcoming.

This a very beautiful small Thai restaurant. When I walked in a gentleman greeted me immediately. When I chose a seat he asked me what I’d like to drink and I ordered a Thai tea. When he brought the drink out I was surprised how big the glass was! Most Thai restaurants offer a small little glass but here they don’t not t skim out on a good drink! While I was looking over the menu the server brought out a complementary vegetable soup. He said the restaurant only offers this during lunch hours. The soup was light and refreshing. It had a light tomato taste with potatoes and cabbage in it. I was really in the mood for curry so i ordered the red curry with roast duck. The duck was cooked very well and the red curry is a bit spicy so just watch out if you cannot handle spice. Inside the red curry come with red bell pepper, broccoli, carrots, and zucchini (I think). With the dish you’ll get a bowl of rice, a whole pineapple slice, and a fried dumplings with the dipping sauce. Everything was really good and the curry had so much flavor and spice I would love to come back!

This is some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had in my life. In town from San Antonio & Penny and her husband have an absolutely fabulous restaurant. I can’t wait to come back next time I’m in town.
