The Spice Thai Cuisine

I would consider my husband and I a very big foodie and picky eaters. We eat out almost daily and live out in Old Town but still travel to Avondale for Thai food at The Spice! We love healthy food, but with a delicious and tasteful presentation, and great service. The Spice is an authentic Thai restaurant that has Cambodian inspired cuisines, Thai food and also sushi! For a neighborhood establishment, this is as good as it gets. The food is authentic, meaning it is not made to taste like chain restaurants but use real fresh healthy ingredients inspired by Southeast Asia, and the sushi is GREAT! The price is also really great for us as it is not over the top, but you still get great food.

As for the negative reviews, I think it's mistaken with old ownership, since 2011 they have swapped over ownership and the new owner are SO much better. They have revamped the whole place and hired a new chef and staff. Great family owned business that works hard to make you happy.

Do yourself a favor, and try it out! It's delicious, and their methods of cooking is actually considered pretty healthy for asian/thai/chinese/japanese food!

Great place! Love the food.
Me and my friends go there every time we get hungry for Thai food.
Very nice people, plus it's BYOB :)

Something annoying always comes up when I've tried to order here. The online system hasn't worked the last several times we tried to order which is kind of a turn-off when there's a mild language barrier to order by phone. Pickup times varied from being ready super quick to a little slow.

The food is generally pretty alright in a you get what you pay for kind of way. As close to my last apartment as the Spice Thai was I kept hoping the place would step up and become a great "go to" option instead of a "it's the closest place that isn't a taco joint" option.
