“ Took approximately 20min to be greeted and another 10 to be seated but it is the weekend after valentines. Food was really good. Service after being seated was pretty good as well. Dim lighted area but appeared clean and cozy. I would recommend this place and plan on returning. ”
“ My grandparents treated me to dinner at their favorite restaurant. We were running late, we got there around 7:30pm and they closed around 8pm. As someone who has experience working at restaurants I was almost sure they were going to turn us away but they got us sat in just a few minutes and the service was very prompt despite the restaurant being almost full. I ordered the chicken yellow curry and my grandparents got the chicken salad and by the end of our meals our plates were licked clean. I wish I took a picture because it looked as good as it tasted. My grandma seems to think that the food is best on the weekends because there may be a specific chef working on the weekends, who actually knows lol but never the less props to that chef tonight for pushing out quality food even though they were about to close! Our waitress brought our check and even addressed my grandpa by his name which gave a good feeling that they remember their guest. I'm going to suggest we go to dinner here every time ! ”
“ Excellent and authentic Thai food. This is a family owned restaurant that prides itself on serving the best quality meats and seafood. Although the dishes are traditional, they are infused with time-tested and honored family recipes. Additionally, the cleanliness of the premises is to be commended. The servers are Thai and augment the authenticity of the culinary experience. I highly recommend this restaurant as I have experienced Thai food in many different US cities and around Europe and Australia. ”
“ Best Thai spot in the Yucaipa/calimesa/beaumont area. Great staff and service, yummy food! We go nowhere else but here and we have tried them all! ”
“ Best Thai food place in town highly recommend specially the drunken noodles but all the food it's actually good service it's good as well depends on the day the wait can be longer so be ready but if you are local like me order to go it's faster ”
“ Food was delicious!!! We had the pad Thai, orange chicken, fried rice and yellow curry and we were very impressed! Atmosphere was very cozy and comfortable! Service was a little rushed and not super welcoming but other than that a great experience! ”
“ The best Thai! My work orders from here 5-6 times a month (and for years!) and it has never disappointed. The food is always fresh and flavorful. Favorites include: Summer rolls (the green sauce is SO good!) Egg rolls Thai boat beef noodle soup Orange chicken Cashew chicken Pad Kee Mow beef (get mild if you don't like spicy) Yellow curry Tom Kha soup My coworkers all love the Pad Thai (I think too sweet) and the pineapple fried rice as well. Their prices are great and the portions are good. I eat at Mu and Benjerong in Redlands sometimes but I totally prefer Thai Chili (plus Mu is crazy expensive!) The parking is fine, sometimes you have to park far away in the lot and walk but it's not that far. We get it to go and they always have the order correct and ready what it's supposed to. Friendly staff too!!! ”
“ Outside of Thailand, this is the best Thai food I have had. The seasoning and flavors danced through my mouth. We had BBQ Pork Noodles (dry), Chicken Chow Mien, Egg Rolls, two Tsing Tao Beers and fried bananas with coconut. All for $57.38 plus a $12.00 tip. It was well worth the money. The service was good for being the lunch hour. Serving sizes were huge. ”
“ This is a good local spot. We got there not long after opening and it was already packed. That's always a good sign. This was my husband's first time trying Thai food and he fell in love. He loved the variety of sauces. However, take heed, because many sauces cost extra to try on the side. I'm a Thai beginner so I'm pretty boring with my lunch special of beef and broccoli. The food was fresh and light. Service was fast and efficient. We will definitely return to try more dishes. Pro tip: Come Monday-Friday for the lunch special, it comes with a light soup and salad so you're sure to leave full. ”
