First time to this establishment. Had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious. The wait staff friendly. The atmosphere relaxing. This is a small restaurant so the seating is limited. But we were seated right away. We arrived at 6:45 p.m. Beer and wine are served but we opted for water. I ordered the fish cake appetizer. 4 on a plate. It was delicious. My friend ordered Pad Thai with beef and I had the Crabmeat with curry and vegetables. Mine came with white rice. Both dishes were excellent. We ate as much as we could and brought home the leftovers. I highly recommend this place. It was a little hard to find but worth finding.

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 Crabmeat with 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 son ordered the the seafood hot plate, and I would highly recommend that. The red curry sauce was my favorite sauce I tried, and it was absolutely loaded with sea food. It also comes with a side of rice to serve it on. The waitress was very helpful and informative, which made the experience so much better. I’m very happy that we chose to eat here, and I will definitely come back next time I’m in Iowa City.

The flavors didn’t blend smoothly to create an authentic Thai taste. It was a mix of spice and sweetness but didn’t hit the right notes 🙁 Disappointed! But an A for service and ambience

It’s a nice place for short business meetings and creating memories with your spouse. The food is as spicy as I want. I always recommend Thai Spice.

Our 1st meal was so great that my family all wanted to go back the next night and try completely different dishes. Both nights we ate family style, trying a wide variety of dishes. The quality of the food & service was fantastic

Visited tonight for dinner after rave reviews from multiple people. We were promptly seated at 6 PM, given waters, and our order taken. There were 6 other people in the dining area when we were seated. Our appetizer was served within minutes, but we then waited nearly 50 minutes for our entrees. In the 50 minutes we waited, another handful of patrons were seated and served their meals. Some finished their meals while we continued to wait. Countless take out orders were packaged and picked up.

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 restrooms available. I ordered pad Thai noodles and yellow curry. The curry was delicious, though, I felt the portion size was a bit small for the price. The Thai noodles were good, but a bit bland, however it was a very generous portion and fed two adults. The food was hot and cooked well and was plenty for my husband and I. Even though I believe the curry is overpriced, I would like to have it again because it was very good.

Good Thai food, kind of pricey however. I’ve been to other Thai restaurants that are just as good or better and don’t charge as much. Still worth going to/trying, it is good, but not amazing (I’ve had a variety of dishes on the menu). I don’t go here frequently, I would if prices were a little lower probably. But it can also be a more infrequent special treat because the higher quality of ingredients/price which I can live with. Atmosphere is pretty nice, I liked the decor, and staff was friendly.

I had the Pad Thai spice lvl 5 (1 to 5) with chicken satay. I was the first to arrive at lunch. Tasted great! Spice lvl was perfect. I highly recommend this little nugget when in Iowa City.
