Absolutely loved the Pork “Wings” and Pad Kra Tiem Prik Thai. I wished I would have brought a party of 10, just so I could have tried more dishes. You could taste the love for the food. Service was great and the atmosphere was elevated and cozy. Definitely recommend.

Not a great experience, we waited a lot for our food and eventually they messed up the order and forgot my soup and they brought the soup and curry together for my friend. People who came after us got their food first. When I did get my Massaman curry it was very light and thin. it is definitely not worth all the wait. I don’t think this restaurant is meant for people who want an authentic food experience and I don’t think the service was good for the price.

You pay for the ambiance! It’s a nice setup and good for private conversations. The food is good but costs more because of the nice environment. If you’re wanting Thai food, this would be a more elevated option. If you’re expecting cheaper Thai food, then this isn’t the place. There’s vegetarian options and really good desserts available too.

I have eaten here a lot over the last 4 years, usually for pickup. I have consistently received the wrong food or had parts of my order missing. Today they did not give me rice with my order, so my meal is basically just chicken. Considering the high prices of this restaurant, it simply is not worth eating here.

The taste of food is exquisite here. Even though the price is a bit costly, it’s worth it. Perfect place to take your date. Panag curry is definitely suggested. Service is also really great.

I’ve traveled to the area several times over the past few years, and since finding The Thai Spice, I’ve made sure to eat here at least once per week I’m in town. Simple, elegant décor; quiet, intimate atmosphere, with light, pleasant jazz playing in the background. Seating is great for parties of one to four. Wait staff always knowledgeable, helpful and attentive, without hovering. And the food…the food! If you like Thai, or want to try it, you *really* should come here.

This is a great little spot in Ames that offers something different than your typical “Americanized” Asian cuisine. This is a great place to go on a first date if you want to impress someone with a little nicer atmosphere amd smaller setting. Their food is awesome and I highly recommend any of their soups.

This place was amazing. The decor was very simple but where they shine is their food and staff. Our waitress was extremely helpful she we asked for suggestions and came back multiple times to make sure we had what we needed. The food was quick and tasted as amazing as it looked. The Siam Shrimp was light and a perfect starter. The Roasted Duck Curry was loaded with duck and was a great balance of flavor. The Pad Cha Talay was spicy with tons of flavor. With Tiramisu was amazing. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be going back.

We enjoyed our visit here. We had lunch and you can get some really good deals. The portions were generous. The spring rolls were delicious. Park in the back lot (behind restaurant) for free parking.

The food was absolutely great and I liked them very much. The place is very nice too. But the waitress seemed that she didn’t like me very much. She kept a very straight face on me all the time. I thought that the simple reason was because I am an Asian and my husband is American.
