Lovely and inviting place that drew me and my Thai food loving daughters in! They helped me select a less spicy option while they selected the more potent fare! Loved the “taco” appetizers, especially

A small Thai place in Upper West Side. Food is flavorful but not overly spicy. The Zucchini Pad Thai was delicious. They carry a decent selection of wines and spirits. Service is attentive and allowed us to take our time with ordering. They have outside seating which was nice on a warm day. There were some seats available for the early dinner time. Overall a good experience.

Came by for lunch on a whim while walking through UWS and was very happy with the decision. The team was very kind and polite, the menu had great selection, and the happy hour drink menu was a treat! I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and it was some of the best Pad Thai I ever had! They were very accommodating towards my request for a milder spice level. I got the Thai Breeze Cocktail and it was delicious! The ambiance was very chill and the music choice was fantastic. Overall a great experience leaving me full and satisfied! 10/10 would recommend!

Spice is the best Thai food in the Upper West Side, in my opinion. It’s always fresh, flavorful and delicious.

Stumbled upon this restaurant while walking around the Upper West Side. This was unfortunately a disappointing experience. The quality of the food was definitely lacking as some items were not fresh, undercooked/overcooked. The dumplings we had wanted to order were not available so we decided to go with the shredded pork buns instead. The filling itself was tasty, albeit for the odd placement of cucumbers, but the buns were not fresh and likely previously frozen. For entrees, we order the spicy cashew nut and stir fried noodles. The spicy cashew nut dish was served in this cute fried rice cracker shell but it was most definitely not spicy. The predominant flavor was of canned tomatoes which was less than pleasant. The noodles which didn’t have the most appetizing flavor was either undercooked or overcooked (we were unclear which) with the veggie hard and undercooked. This dish seemed to have resulted in potential food poisoning for my partner.

If you are in the mood for Thai this is the place for you. My Pad Thai was delicious and fresh. Be sure to come for the lunch special to receive the complimentary appetizers. I also enjoyed the Thai iced tea. I would visit again when in the area.

Enjoyed this Thai place, I typically don’t like Thai food, and prefer Japanese /korean/ Chinese flavors. Friend got drunk noodles dish with chicken and she liked it, calamari was fresh, alot of small tiny pieces which is unfortunate. I was able to eat the bigger fried portions of calamari. My entree was shrimp with veggies and white rice for 16$ total. It was very good. I would come back for entree dishes ! Good customer service, glass of water refilled and waiter frequently checked on us. Overall great experience and no complaints with food.

Last time I had lunch here was before covid. I had a pork chop lunch with their signature shrimp fritters. The food was very good although I saw the fritters had more chicken than shrimp. Of course the honey sauce covers uo the tase of the meat. Service was ok but I could have been better. Had to keep flagging the person to come over from ordering to paying for the meal. The place also smelled like a stinky mop. I would suggest eating in their outdoor dining or just order takeout.

We ordered a few dishes there, but they were no as good as expected. We order a lot of pad thai dishes before, and the pad Thai from Spice was way below the average in my own opinion. The seafood dish was too salty, and it did not look nice to us. The seafood was way over cooked that it tasted very dry too. I don’t think I will return there.
