Reviews for Thai Spice in Iowa City, IA

First time trying this place...it was recommended. Awesome flavors...the homemade dressing was out of this world good!

I really enjoyed my visit to Thai Spice. They don't de-tail the shrimp and I personally was very horrified that I didn't notice... it until after taking an entire mouthful with a single shrimp underneath, but that was more of a me problem than anything!Parking is good, and the prices are really nice. It's sort of "fancy" looking, and quite Thai, which I loved about it. I wouldcertainly recommend it to anyone. Read more

Had a great experience and a delicious meal here tonight. I ordered the Pad Khi Mao. The noodles and sauce were great, and it... tasted very good. It had a nice savory flavor, with just a little bit of sweetness. My fiance ordered the Stir fried Crabmeatwith Curry. The dish was amazing, and so rich. They use real crab meat, and it comes with a side of rice to serve it on. My sonordered the the seafood hot plate, and I would highly recommend that. The red curry sauce was my favorite sauce I tried, and itwas absolutely loaded with sea food. It also comes with a side of rice to serve it on. The waitress was very helpful andinformative, which made the experience so much better. I'm very happy that we chose to eat here, and I will definitely come backnext time I'm in Iowa City. Read more

First time trying Thai food. If I'm honest, I'm not a huge fan of the food itself, but really like my experience with this... restaurant. Clean, very welcoming, traditional cultural decor. Waitress was polite, food was served quickly, fresh & hot. Someitems weren't as spicy as I had expected, but the waitress did bring out different seasonings to pump up the spice. Thaichicken wings and crab Rangoon were my absolute favorites. Awesome experience. Read more

This tucked away restaurant is so cute inside, it makes the perfect date destination. When you enter the aroma of wonderfully... prepared food is amazing. The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. The food would make it worth traveling hours to find. Good doesn't cover it. We had three dishes, a yellow tofu curry, a hot pot and a spicy chickensalad. All of them were in the 15 dollar range. We ate family style which I recommend so everyone can try all of the wonderfuldistinctive flavors. You will enjoy your experience so much more. The food is fantastic. Each dish was seasoned perfectly. The yellow curry had amazingly flavorful tofu and was spicy without covering all the other flavors. Served with jasmine ricethat was so fragrant and fresh it could be a meal on its own. The spicy chopped salad was mostly chicken, so don't confuse thiswith a rabbit food light weight. Beautifully seasoned and generously proportioned, this is filling with feeling heavy. The hotpot was an impressive variety of vegetables, mushrooms and meat. Thick and rich but not overwhelming. It is the perfect thingfor a cold evening or when you crave some comfort food. The summer evening crowd was light but I would expect that once classesstart the college kid could keep this place busy. This is one of those restaurants that should be on everyone's ones must trylist. Read more

I ordered Thai spice for takeout on a Saturday evening. When I arrived to pick up my order, the restaurant wasn't busy and there... was plenty or parking. The decor in this restaurant is beautiful and the ambiance is superb. There are public restroomsavailable. I ordered pad Thai noodles and yellow curry. The curry was delicious, though, I felt the portion size was a bit smallfor the price. The Thai noodles were good, but a bit bland, however it was a very generous portion and fed two adults. The foodwas hot and cooked well and was plenty for my husband and I. Even though I believe the curry is overpriced, I would like to haveit again because it was very good. Read more
