    Ordered take out couple days ago. We were very pleased with everything we ordered, when you order spicy hot you get spicy hot, I hate when I ask for hot and spicy and get mild and tasteless. The food is full of flavor and I look forward to testing the whole menu.

    It's a small place, but clean. The food is delicious. The service is great. The price is fair for what you get. They made the coconut ice cream and it was really good. I haven't found a Thai place this caliber locally, and will definitely be going back.

    My husband and I had the Fresh Spring Rolls, Chicken Pad Thai and Duck Curry. The Fresh Spring Rolls took a little longer than I would have liked, but the portions were generous, and the accompanying peanut sauce was delicious!!! Our main dishes were spicy, and also very tasty. I took off a couple stars because the hostess was inattentive, and didn't acknowledge us when we arrived. We stood around aimlessly, until she finally pointed at a table and told us to sit down. One of the chairs was covered in water, so they clearly hadn't cleaned it after the last customer. Our server was polite, but I was disappointed that they didn't have limes, which are a staple in Thai cuisine.

    The food is great!! Spicy is really spicy and the service is also outstanding. We had to wait a while for a table, but it was worth the wait. The staff were all very cordial and welcoming. Definitely recommend this place, and we will be back.

    Greet food Great atmosphere and great service. What else can you ask for? Loved it. Only complaint I would have is it is a bit noisy. Other than that, Great place

    For a Thai restaurant, my wife and I felt that the quality was quite ordinary. There was nothing in the flavor profile that stood out as unique or distinguishing. It kind of reminded me of an unadulterated curry paste we get from Lee Lee's. The Thai Dumpling appetizer also tasted like store bought dumplings. For the entrees the pricing was quite reasonable. I wish I could say the same for the appetizers; they were overpriced.

    This is the easiest review I've ever had to write! The food was amazing. And I can say that after having attempted to eat some of every option at one sitting! The staff is considerate, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Over 50% of the people in the restaurant were regulars, greeted by name by the staff. I love when I see that level of return business at a local spot! And best of all, I reached the waddling state of fullness for much less money than I expected! The final feather in Thai Chili's cap? My husband, who had never had Thai food (and didn't think he'd like it) has requested to eat there again! Woohoo!

  • Rich F.

    Had a little party at a friends house. He ordered Thai Chili, for delivery (out of the delivery window). Not only did they deliver farther than usual, it was the owner who brought it. GREAT FOOD! EVERYTHING was awesome. Not as spicy (5) as may have expected, but was really really good!

    I'm obsessed with their Panang Curry. I could drink it like a soup. Wait, I do that already. =P What I got: Panang Curry. Rating: 4.5/5 Pad Siew. 3.5/5 Green Tea Ice Cream. Rating: 3/5 Thai Iced Tea. Rating: 4/5 Spiciness: asked for 7/10. Hostess even gave a free dessert. For Arizona standards, the curry is some of the best I've had here. Decently Priced too. The atmosphere is sit down and awesome one of my top picks if you want to take a date here, but need a college priced / affordable place. It's clean and a very friendly atmosphere.

  • Renee C.

    This is the best Thai food we have ever had in Arizona! The portions are very large, there is a wide variety of dishes, and everything we've ever had we have left. Service is wonderful, it was kid friendly, and very clean and fast service. Our 10-year-old and six-year-old loved it and they want to go back. My favorite dish there is the pumpkin curry, you have to try it!

    Pad sei ew is one of the best in the valley! Plus they deliver, so that helps me tremendously. Love you guys!

  • Colton B.

    We have been looking for a Thai place close to home and Thai Chili has been wonderful. They even deliver! The Yellow Curry is amazing and their Pad Thai is wonderful but normally that's hard to screw up. Every time we call and order Ray answers and is very kind and helpful!

  • Marisa K.

    Thai Chili is right behind my house so I've eaten here several times and tried most of the curries and found them all to be very good! Some of the combinations are a little odd (yellow curry beef?) but I think they're just trying to cater to a broad audience. I'm quite certain that they're using a store-bought paste but that's not a knock on them as many places do not make their own pastes. Very reasonable prices as well!

    I don't even like Thai food but I love this place. Their complementary salad is delicious. Everything I have ordered here has been SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! I had the red curry shrimp and also some noodle dish pad something or the other....so good. so good go try u must. So clean inside, and fresh fresh yummy food. I'm hooked

  • David P.

    Food is great here don't get me wrong . I don't want to come off as racy ... but I'm Asian myself and felt like while I was eating everyone around me was being helped over me. The Asian gal there seemed like she would not help me nor come to my table asking how everything was tasting like everyone else. Love the food but was pretty disappointed in the customer service area ....

  • Alexandria J.

    Thai Chili is a hidden gem in Gilbert. I have been to Thailand a few times and love the food honestly this is the most authentic I have found in the US and haven't had a bad meal here. Some of my favorites are the crispy chicken with plum sauce and the sticky rice. Lets talk about the handmade coconut ice cream. Holy moley it is amazing. You cant not have a scoop made in house. When mango is in season the stickey rice with ice cream and mango, cant go wrong. Just try this place. You will just as in love as the rest f us.

    (5)

  • Margaret B.

    Am really bummed out at the last meal there. The service was great, as always, but did you get a new chef and kitchen staff? This was not the pad thai we know and love, and even the coconut ice cream was terrible- like crystal ice milk, and blah. please don't make us have to consider re-trying Papaya Thai, was a distant second to your food, but may now be pacing you.

  • Kevin H.

    This was my first experience with Thai food and wow was it awesome! Dennis our waiter suggested some great dishes, and his service was impeccable. Jude (my date) knew Thai food inside and out her and Dennis came up with the perfect choices. The beer was good, the Thai tea was amazing....I could not have been more please. We will definitely be back.

    Our family has ordered from Thai Chili through Grub Hub for a significant length of time and I would rate this restaurant, before tonight , as the best Thai food in Gilbert. Tonight was a completely different experience. Not only was my order incomplete, but the spice level was incorrect. When I called Thai Chili to report their inconsistency a woman ( teenaged girl) answered the phone, snickered at my request to dispute my order, and then proceeded to hang up on me. This is not the Thai Chili I am familiar with. The manager did call me back, but my plight went unanswered. It is disappointing when a good restaurant turns bad. Grub hub was amazing with their response and I would recommend them to anyone. The next day the manager called again to resolve the issues which was an example of great management. I am revising my star rating

  • Julie G.

    Hands down the best Thai restaurant I've found so far in AZ. Lunch special is awesome- good variety of options, with a salad and spring roll for only $8. Tom Kha Gai (chicken coconut soup) was the best I've found, panang curry was rich and light at the same time with so much flavor. Food came out in minutes and service was extremely friendly. Will definitely be a regular spot.

    (5)

  • Jeremy J.

    Excellent food and outstanding customer service. I highly recommend! All of the currys are my favorite. Even a great pumpkin curry offered now too.

  • Ryan M.

    Really good food and they deliver. Manager is such a nice guy and the food is very good. My favorite dishes are the curry and tum ka coconut milk soup with shrimp. Be warned when they say spicy they mean it if you don't like hot make sure you say a 1 or 2.

  • Farhan A.

    Awesome Red curry ... I loved it and it was spicy too. Came with white rice. I tried their mushroom soup it was loaded with mushrooms and extremely spicy but good. Can't wait to try more

    (4)

  • Vanessa C.

    Ordered take out from here for the first time and decided to all split the dishes, including green chicken curry, beef panang, spicy eggplant chicken, tom kha soup, and mushroom soup. Every single item was delicious! They provided more than enough rice, as well as small containers of red pepper flakes and sauce for extra added "heat." We normally like moderately hot thai and noted that the reviews here recommended 2 or 3 at the most. We settled on the 2 which was a wise decision. We really enjoyed the food and will definitely be back!

  • Ryan B.

    This is family food business in the best way possible. Service providers are genuine, real deal, normal people who interact with you like you're a human being - not a "customer". No pushy fake annoying Starbucks style "how's it going today?" ... "what I can I get for you?" ..."Have a great day!" repeat. Awesome, fresh food. Great prices. Clean restaurant. Find Dennis - he's good. Thank me later.

  • Elisabeth E.

    We love Thai Chili, and we've been fond of thai food for quite some time but rarely do we find a place we could eat at several times a week. We've been here for both dinner and lunch and are never disappointed. Delivery is also always excellent. Lunch specials are great and come with salad in the summer time and soup in the winter, both are excellent. The salad dressing is a homemade pineapple dressing that is so good we actually buy it by the bottle and use it at home. The staff is amazing and most of them know us by name and are never shy to stop and chat with us. Service is always excellent and we never want for anything. The atmosphere is great for dinner, low lighting and very romantic. The food here is unbelievable and unbelievably spicy! I read some other reviews for here that talk about the spice levels and they aren't kidding. I love that the chef makes all her own sauces and will never share the recipe making them wholly her own. This is family owned restaurant and its obvious by the quality. We've tried several dishes from here, some of our favorites are the Sa-te chicken, thai spring roll and combo appetizers are all awesome. Main dishes we love the green, yellow, and penang curries, all full flavored and the ingredients always fresh. Other favorites include the spicy eggplant, drunken noodles and the crispy chicken with spicy plum sauce are fantastic. Gotta get the homemade coconut ice cream with crushed peanuts for dessert too. Overall, service and food- amazing. Price- well worth what you get, we always take food home for seconds. If you aren't in the mood to dine in try their take out or delivery, you won't be disappointed- they never skimp on portions.

  • Evyn M.

    Always great service and excellent food! I order Thai food often and unfortunately I'm not always in town to get Thai Chili and it is by far the best I've had. I get the beef and fried rice, number 3 spicy... and for dessert I get the fried bananas with coconut ice cream.

  • Chrissy S.

    Awesome thai food find in Gilbert! We loved the duck curry, mango curry and coconut ice cream. Service was awesome and everyone was so friendly!! Will definitely be back.

    Best Thai food in the area for sure!!!! And they are very very friendly staff. Definitely recommend!

  • Tony L.

    I didn't want to rate this place because I didn't want anyone else to know about it! The food here is FANTASTIC. The wait staff are INCREDIBLE, extremely helpful, and funny, too! This is the best Thai food I've had in 20 years. The place is tucked back into a shopping center - I've passed by this place a hundred times and never knew it was there. It's absolutely worth looking for. We can't wait to eat there again! Be careful, however - they have some dishes that are HOT. Make sure you tell them how you want it.

  • Raffi M.

    For the relatively small size of the restaurant, Thai Chili really goes above and beyond what you'd expect in terms of decor, cleanliness, customer service, and obviously food. After coming here probably a dozen times for both carry out and dine in, I can confidently say that they deliver consistent quality, and make you leave wanting more. It's always been busy on my visits, no matter the day, but the employees still take the time to make sure you understand the food, let you customize your meal if you wish, and even thank you for your business. Despite their volume of customers, I've even been called by my name when I've visited; really showcasing their dedication to their customers. I love that they offer online ordering and that the system even offers the ability to add and remove ingredients from any dish; woohoo! For most dishes you specify the spiciness from 1 to 5, and you usually choose whether you want chicken, beef, tofu, shrimp, etc. The possibilities for vegetables and proteins really make the dish your own, and combined with some of their scratch made sauces, this Thai food stands out among the dozens of Thai options in the Valley. If you're a fan of Thai noodles, I'd really recommend their signature Pad Thai. Not only is the portion enough to make two meals, but the piping hot dish is packed with the perfect amount of spice, letting the bite from the onions and the crunch and nuttiness from the cashews shine through. The meat has always been tender and juicy. Their homemade Thai sauce is killer, and when you get to the bottom of your plate, it's not soaking in grease like some other Thai restaurants. Don't stop there, all of their stir-fried entrees are worthy and their curries (try the massaman) are amazingly rich, creamy, spicy hot, and comforting. If you're in the area, go here, no question. Even if you're not in the area and are looking for Thai food, make the journey here. It's conveniently located and offers a huge selection at really reasonable prices.

  • Tamsen K.

    Amazing food, the kind of place that knows you by name ( certainly me, I eat their food every week, usually more than once!), and they aren't afraid to bring the heat. I go between Thai hot and a 4/5 ( I notice that it's hotter when I'm in person), and can't go wrong with the pad siew, pad thai, or any of the curries ( the panang is stellar). Oh, and they deliver!

  • JKtravel S.

    Fantastic lunch. Get there early as it fills up. Servers go above and beyond to be attentive even when busy. Lunch special includes a salad and an egg roll! Spicy level 1-5, ask for 2 on your first visit...Decor is pleasant and appropriate.

    Yum! Visited this place for the first time last week with a friend for an informal date. I had the green curry, spice level 2 with shrimp. My date had the fried rice with chicken, beef and shrimp. Both were tasty. We also ordered the fresh spring rolls, not my favorite, but my date seemed to enjoy. Cute, hole in the wall sort of restaurant with straight to the point food. The server was also very informative and willing to answer questions on the menu. Will visit again.

  • Miree J.

    We've been looking for a Thai place in Mesa, so since the reviews and rating for Thai Chili were quite good we decided to give it a try. We ordered the spring rolls, Woon Sen soup, Pad Thai and Pad Siew. Spring rolls were huge and very tasty. The soup was delicious. This soup was comparable to my favorite Thai restaurant's. The Pad Thai was tasty but a little dry and lacked some overall flavor. The Pad Siew was spicy, but it was also sweet. Good balance; only problem was lack of vegetables. There was just too much noodle to broccoli for me. We weren't overly impressed, but we might have found a decent Mesa Thai spot. We will have to go back again and see. One thing I'll tell you though, nothing beats Yupha's in Tempe.

  • Miki K.

    Wow! What a pleasant surprise! I stopped in on a late Sat afternoon between lunch and dinner to make a take-out order. I didn't realize this restaurant was in this location and had read recently about a Thai Chili opening in Queen Creek, closer to my SE Gilbert home and was thrilled to see Thai coming to Queen Creek--did some research on Thai Chili and saw the Baseline location. How could I have not known about this location??!! I thought I would try my standard Thai food to see how well Thai Chili's was. The staff person was extraordinarily helpful for which I'm grateful -- he made suggestions that I couldn't help but go with, and so didn't order my "usual": Thai Chili combo fried rice and Mus-Sa-Mun (some places it's spelled Masaman) Curry Chicken, and I wanted to try their SaTay Chicken. I am IMPRESSED! Thoughtfully well prepared, spices just right, chicken cooked just right, consistency just right, rice perfect! Oh, the peanut sauce -- yum. The MusSaMun curry chicken was so delectable I want it over and over again. I've been itching to go back -- but I don't want to appear to be a glutton . . .I'll wait. . . .until tonight.

  • Mike W.

    I really like the yellow curry chicken and the peanut sauce is good. The delivery is very fast. My only problem is that it is expensive....I'm not sure if I'd call it overpriced because all Thai places seem to charge to much these days but the price defiantly keeps me from eating here more.

    (4)

  • Sarah G.

    Totally NOT worth the money! Microwaved chicken teriyaki.. Rubbery chewy yucky. Noodles were old and stuck together like they were left out over night. Worst experience ever with thai food. They should be ashamed of their lazy cheap ways.

  • Kristina G.

    Had some drunken noodles for take out and even at a 3 spice level it had a good kick! Good stuff.

  • Deanna G.

    Awesome chicken pnang and tom yum soup

    (5)

  • Scott L.

    We had cashew chicken ($12), sweet & sour chicken ($12) one brown rice and one white rice and a cup of Tom kha gai soup costing a total of $35 before tip. Service was reasonable, food was OK but lacked intricate Thai flavors and pricing was expensive. Last weeks trip to Nonthaporns in Mesa on Main is a superior choice

  • Mitch P.

    Excellent food and service! They are fast at placing to go orders and the food is always fresh and hot

  • Babydoll H.

    Originally, I would have rated them five stars because I thought their food was awesome. At the time, I was nine months pregnant (eight months ago). So, about three months ago I tried ordering for delivery, the guy answered the phone, said they were closing soon and to order quickly. I understood but didn't want bummed out food that was made in a hurry. So, I ordered Chinese instead from a restaurant near me. Now today, my husband and I were totally craving this place. We called to make an order for delivery and the guy said they were closing at 3pm and I can not order. ALSO, he said they no longer deliver or do carryout as well.. so I wouldn't have been able to order anyway. That knocked off two stars. A restaurant that closes early and is strictly dine in only. After that whole mess each time ordering, I will not be attempting to order from them again. I will not be coming back at all, so not worth the frustration. I ordered from Papaya Thai instead.

  • C K.

    The food was really good. Have spent time in Bangkok and was taking a chance with this restaurant on vacation with family. 3 of group never had Thai food. They are converts because of Thai Chilli and their manager Ray, he was fabulous

  • Robyn N.

    Love the food here! I think they have the best fried rice ever, and love that the vegetables and meat are large pieces and not chopped into teeny pieces. I almost always get the Mussaman Curry and it's some of the best I've ever had. My second favorite is the sizzling beef, although last time I had carry out the meat was tough and way overcooked. They handle special orders with no problem, although every addition costs $$. They used to run a spice scale of 1-10 with 5 being comparable to jalapenos, but have since changed it to a 1-5 scale with 3 being the old 5. My biggest complaint here is that twice now they've reversed the spiciness of the dishes ordered. Once when I ate in my curry had no spice and my friends had so much spice she couldn't eat it. Of course they fixed the problem for us right away. The second time it happened was a carry-out order and it was too much of a hassle to return for the correct items. Can't see why this should be so difficult to get right. They have a discount card of sorts, accumulate points based on dollars spent and then earn $10 off a purchase. I also recently received a 20% email for being in their "loyalty program for a year". I'll be back soon!

  • Amanda B.

    Had our first experience tonight- just ordered some chicken pad thai. We were asked on a scale of 1 to 5 our spicy preference. We went with a 3 and weren't disappointed- my husband likes more spicy and i like less, but this was perfect for both of us. The man on the phone and in person was more than friendly and he had our order promptly ready in 20 minutes. We will visit again soon! Than you!

  • Gena M.

    This place is fantastic. I've been to a few Thai places this is number two favorite behind a tiny joint in Silverton, Oregon. The curry, not runny, just a little thick like it should be! 4 of us for 4 different dishes and ranted and raved about all 4! Thumbs down to the wonton soup, but two thumbs up to everything else, including the prices. Good portions, you can request the level of heat of your spicy foods. What more could you want? We did have to wait longer than I would've liked for our food, but it was custom made to the heat and SO worth the wait. Five stars. Definitely try it. We are so glad we did. In fact my husband and I decided this is our new date spot every week until further notice. We want to try everything on the menu. Don't forget to try the coconut ice cream made in house!

    (5)

  • Mabel R.

    Their Tom Kha Gai with tofu is very good and the yellow curry w/ tofu (spice level 2) is super tasty. Plus, I loved the Thai ice tea. And despite being busy, the staff was able to provide prompt service w/ a smile.

    This is my favorite Thai restaurant! Their Spicy Eggplant and Green Curry Chicken are delicious. Friendly service and a chill atmosphere. I highly recommend this place!

  • Amy W.

    We had this place for the first time tonight. They have great prices and some of the best thai food I've ever had. I was very impressed with their Tom Yum soup and the quality of the food is amazing. We have definitely found our new Thai spot.

  • Landon E.

    Absolutely great Thai food and awesome customer service. We recently moved back to AZ from the San Jose area and I can tell you Thai Chili's food beats any Thai food we found in San Jose, San Mateo, Fremont, and Newark. AND they remembered exactly what we used to order nearly a year ago. Try the food and if you're not familiar with Thai, ask them for a recommendation and you won't be disappointed.

    (5)

  • Mark F.

    Hands down the best Thai food I have had in AZ. I have ordered most things on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. If you know your Thai food, this is the place. We eat in or order it out at least once a week.

  • Emily M.

    Went to try the lunch special today and was doing a "Happy Dance" in my chair. I got the yellow curry with chicken # 3 with the spice level 7. And the curry was spicy and sweet at the same time. I loved it. The egg roll was veggie ( just ok for me) but my Jazzy liked it. I would defiantly go back for MORE... Can't go wrong for $6.95 for lunch and its actually filling and Good !!!!

  • Chanelle C.

    This place has some pretty decent Thai food. I wouldn't it the best (hence the 4 stars) but it will definitely work when I'm craving some Thai. Their curries are decent. They have a pretty large menu. The prices are great at lunch time. My issue is with the spicyness. I love spicy food, but the curry is always WAY too spicy for my son. I mean, I tell them to make it as mild as possible and it still had a pretty decent kick. I would love to share Thai food with him because he's open and eager to try new foods, but there's no way. The second beef I have with them is I've called ahead for pickup and arrived at the quoted time and still had to wait 20+ minutes in a crowded restaurant. I'd much rather wait at home and come at the right time. All in all, I say give this place a shot! It's good!

    (4)

  • Stephanie M.

    I'd say this is so so Thai food. It's not bad and better than most in the area since Swan Thai seems to have changed owners or something. I've been here twice once I enjoyed it and once I did not.I like the red curry but didn't like the larb.it was bitter. They do have an accurate spice level. A five is a five meaning Thai hot unlike most places where a three is for wimps. I will continue to go here when in need of Thai food that is passable and nearby but no Larb.

    We looooove it here. Eat here often & always walk away happy. Ray is such a great server & very personal. Enjoy the ambiance at night with the lightening.

  • Cheryl B.

    Love this place! I'd been told by my east office coworkers that Thai Chili had great food but it wasn't until the fabulous Monica O suggested that we try it a few weeks ago that I discovered how great it really is! Their Thai tea is perfectly sweet, the best I've had! Their customer service is quick and friendly, and the place is busy with one customer after another coming in for take out. I shared some SaTe chicken with the most amazing peanut sauce, and ordered the pumpkin curry with white rice at Thai hot. Holy heat, did they mean business! With every bite the temperature seem to increase, it was like getting a hot and spicy hug from the inside! It was so good but so filling that I took home leftovers, needless to say they didn't make it to the next day and were finished off a few hours later! I've been in a couple more times for tea and will definitely be back to eat! They offer a 5% off "check in" discount and have buy one get one half off coupons on their to go menu. Bring on the heat, I'm ready to Thai some more!

    We love Thai Chili! It's amazing, the flavors are fresh and not smothered with salt and served by the best staff! We order to go once a week..but we wish it could be more! Keep up the great job!

  • IB V.

    Hey I asked for a 7 on the 1-5 scale and it was nice and super spicy. Got to like a place that is willing to "warm up" my food for me. I had the wontons and Chu Chee dish and they were great.

  • Chicky B.

    We went here two nights ago. I love going to an ethnic restaurant and seeing the chef who is of that ethnicity. A Thai restaurant with a Thai chef...which makes for really good Thai food..what makes it better is that the chef is a woman :) Having lived in Thailand for many years, Thai Chili does not cater to the sissy tongue. It's Thai spicy (if you ask for it). It's not watered down flavors. It's a small place and from the looks of it they are doing great take out and delivery business too. We had veggie curry...which was super good. Spicy enough and loaded with lots of veggies. Ginger Fish had enough ginger to make for a refreshing flavor, they do not skimp on ingredients. They load them up! Our favorite was the Tofu Larb. Mmmmm...the perfect combination of chili spice and tartness from the lime. The coriander and cilantro makes it ! We definitely come back again....next time, we'll have to make room for Sweet Sticky Rice :)

  • Dominique d.

    I live nearby, and I visit Thai Chili every couple of weeks. The staff are polite, friendly and fast, the food is reasonably priced, tasty, and if you ask nicely, hot enough to melt your brain. A 6/10 is noticeably spiced, an 8/10 will leave your lips tingling for the better part of an hour, and I've never been brave enough to ask for a 10/10. Their daily specials are good. If you get a chance, try the steamed white fish with ginger, mushrooms and green onions. Very good stuff.

  • Celeste M.

    After ordering Take Out on Friday, my fiance and I HAD to go back on Sunday. The food is delicious. After our meal our server recognized us and asked us about our experience and was delighted to hear that we couldn't stay away from this amazing Thai restaurant. The restaurant participates in a 'rewards' type of program (order X amount of food get y% off) and after asking us what we had ordered a few days before added that meal amount to our new rewards account. Phenominal customer service. Great food Cute cute cute little restaurant, and clean! Will 100% be making Thai Chili a regular in our rotation. Oh, and they deliver too!

    There are several decent Thai restaurants in the East Valley (incidentally, there are also several bad Thai restaurants). Well, I'm happy to say that Thai Chili is a nice addition to the bunch! Thai food is heavy on the spices, both seasoning and heat level, and Thai Chili doesn't disappoint. I've only had lunch here - so, I can't speak to the dinner service. Lunch specials are the standard fare (Pad Thai, Pad See Iw, Thai fried rice, various curries) and include rice, soup or salad (depending on the season, I believe), and an egg roll. The entrees are tasty, and they aren't joking about the spice level. I usually like spicy, but a 5/10 was already reaching my limit! Soup and the egg roll are so-so, but that's okay since the portion size of the entree is satisfactory. As of today's date, the price for the lunch special is $6.95, which isn't too bad. Service is polite and friendly, though can get backed-up if there is a big lunch rush.

    To sum up in one sentence: "I only go to Thai Chili as often as I do because it's literally a 2-minute walk from my office, in the next building over." And that's about I'd say....once a month or once every other month. I was here when this place first opened, and it was really GREAT - AT FIRST. Then the service got really really horrible - with them screwing up my order 3 consecutive visits in a row, and refusing to do anything but say "sorry...", and when I finally got frustrated and asked them if they'll at least comp my plate, the server was like, "No...the owners are here so I can't do that, but I'll give you free ice cream." When I got really frustrated and my Elite Yelper buddy saw this in action the third time, she wrote a really long review about how she was shocked at their lack of management. Then Thai Chili responded on Yelp, and I think honestly, they've improved their service since. But the funny thing is, now that their service is better, their food doesn't taste as great... And the portions keep getting smaller. But all in all, the food tastes okay, now the service is okay....although I went back today and they took like 20 minutes to bring out my food when there were only 2 other groups there, I'll let that one slide. So all of the little annoyances aside, if I need a quick bite to grab and don't feel like having a Subway sandwich, it's good enough.

    Just moved to Val Vista and Warner, Was pleasantly surprised when i found out that a Thai food placed delivered to my new house. So i did what any Thai food fanatic would do, I ordered up the Chicken Pad Thai and a Red Curry because i wanted to try them both. I called, placed the order and 25 minutes later the order was delivered directly to my house. The pad Thai was AWESOME and the red curry was AWESOME! My life is complete now that i live in an area where Thai food delivers, will definitely be ordering A LOT.

    I've been here a few times. The food is tasty and spicy comparable to Swadee Thai, or even better. I've ordered Pad Thai, catfish with chili sauce and duck in curry (Gung ped Yang. All three dishes were delicious. I'm pretty picky with my thai food and I think this place does a great job with them. Service is great. They gave us a complimentary dessert because we had to wait a little longer for a dish. A typical Friday night expect about 15-20 minutes wait. The place is very cozy with cute decor. Prices are decent. I will make this my frequent dinning place when I'm craving some spicy Thai food!

    First of all, I love Thai food and have eaten at many real good Thai Restaurants and this in NOT one of them ! Ordered Tum Yong kai Soup had TONS of mushrooms which I do not eat. We ordered Red Curry MILD..It was so hot we could not eat it. The Mee Krob was way off ! No table maintenance dirty dishes on the table the whole meal. Never saw my server till it was time to leave. Will Not Return ! There are plenty of better Thai Restaurants out there, don't waste your money!

    DELICIOUS! We adore Thai food and try a new Thai restaurant any chance we get. After reading Yelp reviews we decided to try Thai Chili tonight. There was a good sized crowd, but not a wait at 7pm on a Friday, that was a plus. Our waiter, Ray, took great care of us without being over bearing. I got the vegetarian curry and my fiance' ordered the Shrimp Chu Chi, both were fabulous. I ordered mine at a hot level 3 and it was HOT, his was a 4 a FIRE HOT...luckily we like hot foods. But, I beware of the 1 to 10 hot scale, those low numbers are still very hot! Note that if you order brown rice instead of the white jasmine rice there is an additional $2 charge. They are upfront about the fee, but seriously? $2 for RICE? That didn't dampen my spirits but did make me wonder where else they might try to gouge me, but they didn't. Entrees are reasonably priced at about $10 to $15 each. We were fortunate to get a Yelp $15 for $10 deal. We also joined their 'club' so the next time we get 20% off. We will return!

    Holy Hot!! I ordered the Drunken Noodles and requested a 7 out of 10 on the spicy scale & my mouth was on fire!! To think I almost got an 8!! Wow! Love it!! The portions were plentiful but I still had to order dessert, STICKY RICE!!! MMMMMMMMMMMMM! So good....

  • Melissa K.

    Okay, Thai Chili owners. Thanks for responding to my yelp complaint. I really hope that the management atmosphere keeps improving. UPDATE: The owners contacted me and offered to make it right, and I did take them up on it (I mean, I was having spicy eggplant withdrawal!!!), but my friend is still just not ready to take that chance. I am pretty regular over there when I'm working in Phoenix (less than a block from my office), so I'm glad to know that the management is listening and doesn't just let mistakes (multiple mistakes) go unchecked. Thanks again, Thai Chili owners for extending your care! It is most appreciated!

    My wife and I found Thai Chili doing a Yelp review a while back. We LOVE this place! The food is well prepared. The Red Curry Chicken is one of our favorites! Their lunch portions are very filling and we also love the Dumpling Appetizers! Try the Pad Pring Pao for a different twist. I'm telling you this food is awesome! You ca also ask for no rice and extra vegetables so you can keep that Atkins thing goin'! Go in and Ask for Mai the waitress, we love Mai! Enjoy!

    It's funny because I have to agree with another user whose comment was (of course!) filtered. I couldn't of said it better myself, so I'll just repost what this user said. It must be nice to be so busy that you stop serving regulars (My husband and I also tipped well, ordered 3x month, and always recommended people, wrote great reviews etc). As a business owner myself I'm very disappointed in their brush-off answer every time any customers have brought this point up. "Thanks for the feedback we are working on it...." for a year? Please. Used to be my favorite delivery, carry out, Thai, go-to restaurant. Now I won't be back until they change their delivery policies. And 3 miles is NOT the industry standard folks. Previous Yelper: "Very inconsistent with their delivery policies. We used to order twice a month and tip the driver generously. We often would buy an extra dish to take to work the next day. The food is/was outstanding. We live 3 & 3/4 miles away. They changed their delivery policy and said that we were out of range. Then, we called a few days later and they said it was okay. Thinking that the first refusal was just a fluke, we had some friends over, enjoyed a bottle of wine and planned to have a great meal from Thai Chili delivered. We called them for our regular delivery and were told that the manager on duty would not allow the driver to deliver to our area. Our neighbors told us that they never had a problem ordering for delivery. It depends on who's working whether you can get delivery. This sucks. It makes it impossible to plan an evening in. We are done with this place. I get that they need a range of delivery, but the inconsistency has left a sour taste in our mouth." UPDATE: They've since changed their delivery policy back to their original parameters which was overdue and a nice change. Happy to be getting our Thai Chili fix again each month....delivered of course!

    We yelped this place looking for solid Thai food and were impressed. The mango curry was poetry. Run, go now, while mangoes are in season. Beau had a lovely beef brisket curry concoction. We'll try the lunch specials next time and will be sure to order the salads as other yelpers suggest. Also want to try the Thai soups this winter, our real bellweather of Thai cuisine. Who knew this place was so close to our beloved "Happy Feet"?

    What a gem find! Really friendly service off the bat! Teh food was great...I mean REALLY great. What I liked most was that all of the dishes can be made without sugar (I'm diabetic) and also with a heat scale of 1-10...for EVERYTHING on the menu. We had a Thai Fresh Roll to start with that was really good...and fresh as stated. I had Thai Sizzling Beef that was a HUGE portion and tasted fantastic. I really loved it. Thsi wil be added to my regular rotation.

    A little known secret, the lunch special includes a salad and eggroll. That's not the secret. Apparently, you have to Specifically Request the salad. Yes, it's listed as included in the lunch special. The fine print (that isn't *actually* printed anywhere)... you must request the salad. Look, that's what the restaurant told me. I'm not creative enough to make this stuff up. Roy G.'s review makes more sense now. They "forgot" our salads as well. Unfortunately it was delivery and the driver was unavailable to bring those salads by. I only had the vegetable fried rice lunch special. It wasn't greasy. That's the primary method used to destroy veggie fried rice and Thai Chili avoided it. I call that a success.

    Met my match. When asked "how hot" and gave me numerical option 1-5, I asked "how hot can you go?". "Fifty" was the response. You learn from your mistakes. Be a hero and ask for fifty. I cried... In font of my children.... That's how hot that is.

  • Jimmy W.

    I would have given a 5 star rating but had to paid full price since I used the restaurant.com certificate that took the seafood out so I felt slightly cheated. The service was nice the the food is great. If you used any type of discount, you will not get the best items while the price is being charged at the full rate. No other restaurant ever do this. I think it is something to consider before you walk in.

  • Rita H.

    I've been here a few times for lunch and the place has some good deals. I've tried the eggplant and the pad thai. I really enjoyed the eggplant dish. I like my food pretty spicy and Thai Chili really knows how to turn up the heat! I got a 10/10 and it really hit the spot. A lot of places don't seem to cook the eggplant quite long enough, but thai chili did a really good job. That is probably my favorite thing to eat there! The pad thai isn't one of my favorites. It's a decent meal for lunch. I got a 9/10 which is just spicy enough for me without burning a hole in my stomach. I would say the flavor just isn't really "authentic" or what I might be used to. The noodles have a bit too much sauce on them for me. The service is usually great. Water is always filled, friendly people, fast service. Overall, I'd say this place is decent to eat but not the best thai I've ever had.

    This place has a nice ambiance. The ac is definitely getting a workout. I wasn't left to parch as my glass was filled with water often. Service was attentive. There is a lot of choices on the menu. Our orders. Thai spring rolls- ok. sauce was pretty sweet. Pad thai with beef- good Basil with tofu- good Overall, I wont be going back. The prices are high for Thai food. It was good, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't anything special.

  • A Is For Alexandra S.

    Made a dinner visit this time. The place was a lot Busier , so if you have a large party I suggest get there early or call ahead and See if they will take a reservation. It took longer for them to take our order and they werent as attentive I chose the pad Thai again and it was very good , and To my surprise my husband picked the duck. That of course took a little extra time to cook. I managed to get a bite or two of his duck and It was very good. I remember the last time I had duck and it was much More greasy and fatty so Thai Chili did it right! As you know, yelp offers deals periodically and there happened to be one For Thai Chili that night. It was only for $5 dollars off but hey every penny Counts these days. The place also has a rewards program. The staff told me I don't get ANY rewards with any kind of coupons. I thought um?!?! It's not like a groupon where you pay $20, get $20 free..... It was only $5 bucks. And there was no verbage on the yelp deal re: reward points, I mean I still spent money right?!?! So here's the Math: 26.00 total bill minus $5 yelp coupon = $21.00 spent and ZERO Rewards. I'm just saying

    LOVE this place, we struggled to find non chain restaurants in Gilbert and were very pleased to find this gem. Their panang curry is outstanding, tom kha gai could be my favorite soup ever. and don't forget to save room for the custard and sticky rice!

  • Dani C.

    Wow- I'm pretty selective with a 5 star, so you know I mean it. This place was amazing. Pad Thai, Curry Salmon, a couple of tofu dishes that I can't remember now- but all SO GOOD. So much flavor in these dishes I even enjoyed the tofu, and I'm a carnivore who tends to avoid spongy substances. The flavor was that good! I'm even giving this 5 stars with the slow service- it was THAT GOOD. We literally took the last two tables, and we were split up. However, they do take reservations, so live and learn. Call first. I can't wait to go here again, or even get take out. So. Good.

    Thai Chili is located in a dying shopping center, and is frequently the only reason I will enter it. Their lunch deals are the best. $6.95 for every item and it includes salad and a small egg roll. The dinner menu has a huge seleciton and prices include choice of chicken, pork or beef. You can add shrip for $3.00. Nearly every time I go in I have a coupon. They sometimes have a deal on Living social or I go to another coupon site when I can buy them for 80% off. Thai Chili offers delivery and take out services. Please note that coupons are not allowed for either of these. You have to eat in restaurant to be able to utilize a coupon. The servers are nice, and I would rate all of their servers as either fair or good. Only once or twice have I thought service was excellent, hence the 4 of 5 stars. There is an Asian female server who speaks with a very understandable accent. She takes care of you, but can be a little abbrasive, so if you get her you were warned. You have a choice as to how spicey you would like your dish. 1-10, with 5 apparently being a jalapeno. I always order a 1, my boyfriend likes a 3. They usually don't take too long to cook your food. Also, don't bother asking to talk to a manager because they won't let you, unless you know the managers name.

    Somewhere between authentic Thai and cheap take-out Chinese exists the entity that is Thai Chili. This is a very middle-of-the-road Asian food establishment that seems to suffer from an ongoing identity crisis. While the food is edible and certainly Thai-influenced, it's no where near good enough to warrant a second visit! Stopped in with a co-worker on the recommendation of several online reviewers... Lunch time portions were perfect for the price and the quality of ingredients was certainly good. Though reasonably busy, seating was prompt and the food came quickly. However, the TASTE of the food left much to be desired! We tried both the "Hot and Sour" and the "Egg Drop" soups to start. Anyone familiar with Thai food will note that these are soups more commonly found as counterparts to cheap "take-out" style Chinese food. Well, the Hot and Sour soup consisted of a dark broth with red pepper flakes floating around for spice. It tasted strongly of lemon juice and vinegar and, though I tried to sip down 3 spoonfulls, my coworker and I both decided it wasn't worth eating. I've had some bad "Hot and Sour" soup, but this was among the worst! Meanwhile, the Egg Drop soup, though easier to swallow, had an odd smokey flavor to the broth that really didn't taste good with the egg and other ingredients. Still, we were able to work through it, unlike the Hot and Sour before it. Then, the entrees came...complete with egg rolls and sweet and sour sauce for dipping. Once again, I had to glance at the sign on the wall to make sure I was still in a THAI establishment, as this also seemed eerily like fast-food Chinese in nature. Luckily, the eggrolls were flaky, tasty and small enough that they didn't steal attention away from the entrees themselves. Digging into the main courses, we found the yellow curry to be completely overloaded with large slices of red and green bell peppers. There were easily more bell peppers than there were a sum of all the other ingredients combined! Unfortunately, the strong presence of the bell peppers, especially the red ones, took over the taste of the dish entirely and made it far less enjoyable than either of us had hoped for. The Pad Thai we ordered was also a mild disappointment. Once again, while made of quality ingredients and looking appropriate on the plate with scallions, sprouts and crushed peanuts, it turned out to be very sweet...too much so. The mid-level spice didn't help, either. It was edible, but, coming from a guy who has eaten Pad Thai more than a thousand times in both the U.S. and South Asia, I can say that it was far from normally sweet. Still, we managed to finish and our wallets weren't complaining too badly when we left. Will we or our wallets return? Unlikely. Thai House at Southern Ave. and Power Rd. is a 5-minute drive down the US-60 from Thai Chili and well worth the extra time and gas if good quality Thai is what you crave.

    Thai chilli is definetly the best Thai Restaurant in the valley. We have tried varies thai locations and the food is top notch like no other. I love the choices of the hottness ob ur dish from 1-10. The BBQ chicken is the best n definetly a large portion

    I visited Thai Chili and had the option of picking my own table, which is always awesome in my opinion. The menu is full of traditional Thai dishes and some other Asian fusion dishes. There are some great options for vegetarians as well. I was pleased with my customer service experience and I will be back again. And the plum wine is delicious.

We were told that "we had to put the bag away!!!l" unbelievable, deserves to be at Ripley!! After this event the food was Ok.. We did not leave just because the scene the waitress made was enough.. We did not want to make it worse

    Love there food and friendly staff. Tried something new today... shrimp & scallops in their peanut sauce with noodles and it was good. I like that the shrimp and scallops were big and not baby ones like other places. We try to go for lunch at least once a week cause they have great lunch specials but today we order from their dinner menu to try something different.

    During our monthly mani-pedis at Nail EnV (the best, by the way), my aunt and I were discussing where we should go for dinner. As we frequent this nail shop quite often, the manicurists tend to chime in on our conversations, something we don't mind because we've gotten to know them quite well over time. We were discussing Thai food and searching Yelp for a place that seemed worth trying when one of the guys says, "Why don't you go where Karen's husband works?" Apparently, Karen, one of our manicurists' husband works as a cook at Thai Chili. Sounds good to us, so we finished up with lovely nails and headed out. All the reviews said beware of the spice factor, so we were careful when we ordered our soup. Turns out, we needn't be cautious. I like spicy and a 5 was spicy, but still tolerable. I probably could have gone higher, but I wanted to make sure I'd still taste my food. Not being all that familiar with Thai food, outside of Pad Thai, I wasn't sure what to order. Lucky for me, my aunt knows her way around the menu. She got something in a green curry that had coconut milk and I don't know what else, but it was really good. I wasn't sure what to expect when I tasted hers, but I was in. I ordered something that I can't remember the name of, but it was pork in peanut sauce with vegetables. It was wonderful and I can't wait to try this place again! I wish we had room to try some of the desserts, but we were well on our way to stuffed when we left. I can't wait to take my boyfriend in for a taste of this place!

    What a great find! Everything I get here is great! It's spicier than other Thai places...so get the spicy level a few notches down. I can handle spicy...but a 5 was insane. Get a 3 to be safe. There is a waitress here that is wonderful and I wish I had her name. Helpful and very funny! This is in a strip mall and looks like nothing from the outside...but please check it out! They play great 80's music and do serve wine and beer. It's worth checkin out!

    What's you number? On the heat scale! This place tailors the dish to your preference so wether you like to breath fire (level 9, like me) or you think water is pushing the edge on the spicy scale you'll find what you like. The yellow curry is my regular dish, the lunch special comes with a nice little side salad, egg-drop soup and a delicious little egg-roll. For dessert give the coconut ice cream or mangoes with sweet sticky rice a try.

  • Dace J.

    I'm not sure how much good Thai food is to be found in Arizona, but this place definitely hit the spot. Appetizers were good, but the Massaman Curry (my benchmark of Thai cuisine) was fantastic! Potatoes and veggies done just right, rice cooked perfectly, and the curry itself creamy and luscious, bursting with flavor. The fact that you can designate on a scale of 1 to 10 how hot you want your dish to be was a nice touch, and addressed my grandmother's reservations (this was her first time trying Thai cuisine). They were really busy, so I think it's perfectly acceptable that the service was just a tad slow, but the waiter was extremely pleasant and helpful. The decor was ok, but I'd love to see the walls as vibrant as the flavors... don't be shy guys, your food is great- go for it! Make it real! Bonus points for carrying my fave Thai beer, Chang!

    Out of all places I've eaten curry, this is the BEST yet! Thai Chili has a clean, welcoming, and simple but warm atmosphere and their service is great. Friendly, patience, quick and caring. I had the green curry with chicken, lightly spiced (#3, which gently cleared up my stuffy passage ways. I'm still working up the spice ladder). This was one of a handful of tasty-sounding items on their lunch special menu (I look forward to trying all their items .. in time, of course ^_^*). My meal only cost $7 and came with one spring roll, sauce, and your choice of egg drop soup or hot sour soup. For the amount and the quality of the meal, I feel like I ate for free! It's your turn, now go!

    This is one of our favorite restaurants in Gilbert. I love the curries, especially the green curry. My wife raves about the Pad Siew and Pad Thai. I recently discovered Thai Sizzling Beef and might have found a new favorite. Everything I've tried is wonderful. The people there are very nice and helpful and remember my name since I've become a relatively regular visitor. Warning - I like pretty hot food and ordering a heat of about 3 is enough for me. At times a 3 is a little mild and at times it is a little bit of a challenge. I think this is testament to the fresh ingredients (sometimes chilis are hotter and sometimes milder). LOVE this place!

  • Marsella M.

    This review is solely for Thai Chili's delivery. We placed an order for delivery over the phone tonight. The person who answered was very polite and specific, she double checked our order and quoted 30 minutes. The order arrived, correctly, in 27 minutes. I had the Larb salad with chicken with a spice of 7 - it was perfect! The pungent flavor combo of cilantro, lemongrass, and red chili with moist chicken packed just enough spice to make my nose hot - exactly what I wanted. It came with rice and cabbage leaves. I wish it had come with lettuce leaves actually because it would've been even more fantastic as a lettuce-wrap style dish. The raw cabbage was stiff and harder to use for a wrap. My mom had the Nuah-yang which she said she really enjoyed (spice of 3). I thought it should have come sliced instead of one big piece of beef but the flavor was good. It came with sticky rice which I thought was so-so but I'm not a fan of sticky rice in general. We also ordered the Thai dumplings which I thought were fine, but the sauce was too thick and sweet for my taste. Overall, I would definitely order from Thai Chili again and my dish was so good I could see myself having it for lunch once or twice a week, every week.

    I fell in love with this place the first time I went there. I ended up getting the Gang ka ree and was impressed that I got to choose the spiciness of the dish (since I can be kind of a wuss with spicy food). I have had fresh Thai food made by some Thai friends when I lived in Australia, and this was very comparable. We took a seat in the restaurant and were barely able to find an open seat. The place was packed. The restaurant's atmosphere wasn't spectacular, however, it's better than some places that also do delivery/takeout. It was worth the wait though. In the future, I plan on ordering take out & I hope they deliver to my house.

  • Charles S.

    Ate here again last nite. at 5pm. What can I say. I ordered mushroom soup and vegetable curry. mushroom soup was ok, I liked the broth, however I was disappointed that the only mushrooms in the soup were button mushrooms (the same kind you find at every grocery store, the least expensive ones) I would have thought for $4 for an on the small side bowl of soup they would have used different mushrooms perhaps chanterells, shitaki, or morels or another exotic type of mushroom. The broth was tastey for me anyway could have been more spicy or sour but over all it was fine. My vegetable curry was fine I asked for 41/2 on the spice scale and it really wasent hot or spicy The curry sauce it self was fine. 2nd was they really don't give you a lot of vegetables a few zucchini, a few broccoli florets, and the remainder was sliced(tinned) bamboo shots, onions, and baby corn. and for $10 and vegetables are not expensive. I was expecting more.... They do give you a descent portion of brown rice and they should they charge $2 for it. I would come back the food tastes good and they are very accommodating to vegetarians and vegans and they will ask the chef if they can make what ever it is you might order without MSG. and if they cannot the server will let you know so you can choose if you want it of if you want to change to some thing they can make without MSG. And that is extremely important to me. Again The server was a middle aged Asian gentleman and he was very friendly and attentive. could not have asked for better service. this time and my prior visit the servers were both exceedingly helpful and attentive. just great.

    Great little place. I wasn't not expecting anything this good given its location. The dumplings were amazing. They almost had this slightly smoky overtone to them - just delicious. The spring rolls were large and very fresh. My husband had the Pad Thai and felt it was one of the best he's ever had. I had the Drunken Noodle which was excellent. The service was great. In fact, when we told our server (maybe the manager?) how happy we were, he took the appetizers off our bill. Will definitely go back again.

    I think they named this place after how cold it gets in the restaurant. It was a cool 60 degrees to make you shiver while you eat your thai food. Here's the thing, the location of Thai Chili isn't the best. It's next to a karate class, subway, and a taco bell...so definitely not a place for a first date or a nice night out. It's a place for thai food and that's pretty much it. With that being said, the location and quality of food did not dictate the high prices on the menu. Two entrees + 1 appetizer (two spring rolls) = $30+ dollars is a little excessive for Thai Food. Maybe if this place was in Scottsdale, I could understand, but for a shacky place in Gilbert, not so much. Spring rolls were decent, they lacked the wow factor...and there was only 2 given. I had to double check to make sure I didn't order off the kids menu. Pad thai with beef was good, but seriously, it's really not that hard to mess up pad thai. All pad thai makes me go to the bathroom, this pad thai was no different. When I try pad thai that doesn't do that, I'll give that place 5 stars and a trophy. All in all, I won't be going back. The service was good, the restaurant was clean, but I didn't like the location or the high cost for average food. Thank you groupon for saving me 50% on a mediocre restaurant.

    I purchased the LivingSocial deal back in June and finally went last week with a girlfriend who also enjoys Thai food. My friend ordered the Spicy Basil with chicken with a heat level of 5. The waitress said that the heat level 5 was on par with the heat of a jalapeno. I feel it is safe to say that my friend would disagree with that statement since she normally eats things hotter than a jalapeno and she was sniffling by halfway through the meal. She said it was good, but she would stick with her usual Pad Thai next time. I picked the Crispy Chicken with Spicy Plum Sauce with a heat level of 2 (My middle name might as well be "Wimp"). The vegetables under the chicken had some light sauce that was deliciously light and tasty. The plum sauce was fantastic! The chicken was very tasty, but would have been a lot better if it had been grilled or cooked pretty much any way other than fried. The fried taste battles too strongly with the tasty plum sauce. Still very good, though! For dessert, we both got the handmade Coconut Ice Cream. It was wonderfully tasty, but not really worth $4 since you only get one smallish scoop. The service was very good although it was a little odd that my dinner came out five minutes before my friend's dinner. I'm looking forward to a return visit to check out what else is good on their menu.

    I went here for lunch yesterday and it was fairly good. The ambiance is non existent in this restaurant, so don't expect anything fancy. I went with a couple of friends and we each got something different, I got drunken noodles, one friend got pad see u, and another got pad thai. I got mine at a level 5 spicy and it was spicy! That part was good. I just thought it was a little dry... could have used a bit more sauce. The flavor was good. It also came with a fairly good salad and an alright spring roll. I gave this place 3 stars because, although it was fine, it was nothing special and there are many thai restaurants in phoenix that are better.

    Thoroughly enjoyed date night with the wife here. Had the Yellow Curry w/ Chicken & my wife had the Spicy Calamari. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that our food took awhile. However, when it came, it was absolutely delicious!

    I came here on my friend's recommendation. I'm not a big curry fan, but perhaps the curry is amazing like she said. First off, when we walked in, the owner and waiter were talking to each other. My boyfriend and I weren't sure if we should wait to be seated or just walk to any table. After standing for a few minutes, the waiter told us to have a seat anywhere without leaving behind the counter. We sat down, and the two continued their conversation. I had to look back 4 - 5 times before the waiter came and brought us menus. When we decided what to order, he didn't come back until I looked back another 4 - 5 times. By the way, there was only one other table occupied that was deciding what they wanted for dessert. I can't say anything bad about the waiter because he was overall nice, but not attentive at all. We never got water refills. I always order Pad Thai, and wasn't wowed by it here. First, they charge for adding tofu. I got a chicken and tofu mix - and although I paid for tofu, there wasn't much tofu added. I always get mild flavored Pad Thai, and I feel that really allows you to taste the food. If there's still a lot of flavor without the spiciness, then you know the natural dish is well made and not masked by the spices. The portion was alright - but not enough peanuts nor bean sprouts. The dish itself was way too sweet for my taste. My boyfriend ordered the sizzling beef dish. I was able to finish my entire dish before his entree came out. The waiter didn't tell us that it was going to take that long. It came on a clay dish and sizzled a lot, but for the price, it wasn't worth it at all. The beef was pretty typical. It tasted kind of like black pepper chicken at Panda Express - but beef instead of chicken. FYI: my Pad Thai came out after a very long time as well. From walking in to walking out, I think it took us an entire hour for this meal. Don't go here if you're in a rush, and don't order the Pad Thai nor Sizzling Beef Dish.

    We have been searching for good Thai food in Mesa and finally we found it! The curry is amazing and the beef is amazing! We tried a dish with delicious peanut sauce over beef and vegetables and now I can't stop thinking about it. This place will definitely become our regular spot. We can't wait to try more on the menu!

    This place was our first time trying Thai food. The waiter was very helpful however when we ordered our food he was very confident that we didn't realize how hot the food actually was or should I say "was suppose to be". He asked us on a scale of 1 to 5 how hot did we want it. Both my girlfriend and I said 4. He assured us that that was going to be to hot. He asked if we like jalapenos and my girlfriend said, "We use Ghost Peppers in our cooking at home." He assured us that a 3 was going to be plenty hot.....not the case. We went there for lunch and the small place was packed. We actually had to wait about 10 minutes. For lunch we had the Crispy Chicken with the spicy plum sauce and the Chicken Red Curry. First the curry. It was very good. The chicken was tender and it had a very rich flavor. The Crispy Chicken was a big disappointment. All it consisted of was 3 or 4 chicken planks breaded and deep fried on a bed of sautéed veggies. The sauce came in a little bowl that had dried hot peppers sprinkled on top of it, not much thought into making this dish hot. Anyway, I would like to go back, but for dinner.

    I heard that Thai Chili was good but I never got around to trying it until this week. And I gotta say they were right! I love the fact that you can order it as spicy as you want (or as mild as you want for you whimps) and that they had a few vegetarian options, not just 1. I will be back.... I may even become a regular!

    Ok, so after several years as a yelper this is just my second review. I lack the time to comment on hardly any of the places I visit. (plus I hardly stray away from my norms) Thai Chili is the best meal that I can honestly remember having. Perhaps a bit of it had to do with the beautiful woman sitting across from me but I had such an amazing dinner. Sat quickly, food was brought out amazingly fast, service was awesome, great ambiance, and the food.... Wow! Drunken noodles @ a level 5 was perfect. Wifey had the mango curry @ level 2 and it was also great. (not as good as mine though ;)) Owners were more than willing to chat and really get what customer service is all about. Oh yeah, and the homemade coconut ice cream....crazy good.

    Good food at good prices. My wife went in and had Pad Thai and Crispy Chicken with Spicy Plum Sauce and each were about $10 for a decent portion. They were both good, but not great. The service was okay, but not great. The atmosphere in the room was a little cold. Someone needs to make the place a little more comfortable. All in all, everything was good, but I've had better food for a better price. You will enjoy your meal, but I don't think you'll be overly impressed.

    I love this place, service seemed to struggle for a little while but they seem to have figured it out. I have loved all their food, I have eaten everything, my favorites are pad thai and panang, but there are many other good choices as well! Thai Ice tea is legit, This is THE BEST Thai i have had in all of Arizona... and thai is my favorite, i always try new places, but since eating here, EVERY TIME I eat at another Thai place, i wish i was a Thai Chili.

    You know what? I love this place. I love this place because I've been getting delivery from them for about a year now almost every week. Their good has it all- a good amount of variety, a great amount of taste, speedy service and reliable consistency with getting my orders right. They've got all of your Thai favourites, but they also break the mould by offering some specialities that you probably won't find elsewhere. Today I tried their catfish for the first time and it is AMAZING! A new favorite of mine. Everything that I've gotten from them has been great. Even the salads. I mean, who orders salad for delivery from a Thai restaurant!?! This guy does. And he's very happy with the salad that he received.

  • L P.

    Not bad, I've had better. It's average place. Nothing special on my book. Tried the beef sizzler but not a lot of meat for $14! Sauce is like the burnt bottom of the pan and I hate that. Seafood was ok should of had a more ginger taste. Actual most needed more Asian falvor. Customer service is ok, didn't refill waters in time. If I felt like Asian food in this area I'll come again, but I'd rather goto Siam Orchid or one resto at Mekong market area. Sorry wish it was good!

    This is a tiny place inside of a strip mall that I had never known existed. My in-laws actually suggested it, and we met there for dinner. They raved about it, and the place was tiny but packed. I had the yellow curry, and wife had something with peanut sauce on it. Everything was delicious, and arrived quickly. They have the typical 1-5 scale of hotness, and I ventured a 3 while everyone else stayed at 2. 3 was perfect for me, but they were all complaining about their "2+" dishes. I concluded that they were all wimps, but if you are also a wimp know that 2 is "wimp hot".

  • Karen W.

    Placed an order to go. Got the silver noodle rainbow salad and some Thai fresh rolls (Spring rolls). The rolls come with the option of peanut sauce or hoisin sauce to dip them with. I chose the peanut sauce. The rolls themselves were big and filled with a lot of vegetables and noodles but very little chicken. Unfortunately they tasted bland and I needed to dip them in the sauce to get any flavor. The sauce was served hot though, which eliminated the refreshing component of spring rolls that I typically enjoy about them. The silver noodle salad was a gigantic portion, with nicely cooked shrimp, vegetables, and a hearty portion of noodles. It was served with a whole wedge of cabbage, kind of strange if you ask me. People don't normally gnaw on whole wedges of cabbage as a side to go with their meal. The noodle salad had a good spicy kick to it from chiles and definitely had a lot of flavor. Service was friendly and I had no problem redeeming a Yelp check in offer. Although I wasn't too impressed with what I ordered, I'll definitely give them another try to see if I like other dishes!

    Our EX favorite restaurant. We have been getting food delivered from this place for years now and all of a sudden they don't deliver to our area? We spend on average $50 on each order we place with them and ordered as recently as last month, but now the 'manager on duty' decides that they arent going to take our order this time? Don't get me wrong...great food, but SH*TTY customer service. You just lost yourself a long time customer and one of your biggest fans.

    We are regular customers and live right across the street from this place. We came in about 2 weeks ago and brought in some food in a bag from another restaurant for my wifes son. He doesn't like Thai food. We sat down, they brought us our menus and than another lady came out and said we can't have outside food brought into the restaurant, managers policy. Everyone was staring in the place and it was just a really weird experience. What are we suppose to do throw away his food outside and come back in the restaurant ? For one thing me and my wife own a smoothie / juice bar and people come in all the time with subway and starbucks, big deal we are not going to ask them to basically leave because they brought some outside food in. They didn't even offer us a to go order or anything. You would think the least they could do is say hey managers policy we don't allow outside food in but you can eat it here this time so we will definately not return to this place again. There are plenty of other Thai restaurants in the area.

    Favorite Thai place, hands down. The green curry is one of my favorites and the beef panang is delicious. I can't get enough of this place! The service here is what makes it special. The waiters are knowledgeable and kind. Even picky eaters can eat here with a little bit of help! I keep going back here year after year! Definitely the best Thai food experience I've ever had!

    Had dinner here this evening. It was busy with in and out customers but we were seated five minutes after we got in. The service was really good. We ordered alot of food from fried rice, Tom Yum soup, thai chicken, coconut-curry chicken which we ordered like two because it was so good- that paired with a sweet sauce and a peanut sauce and duck, pad thai and fresh thai egg rolls. There's one dish I loved and it was the coconut curry chicken on a stick. I forgot what it was called but it tasted like coconut-curry. And when you dip into that creamy peanut sauce and thai sweet sauce. Wow delish! I was so hungry that when I ate the chicken from the stick, I didn't realized that when I took a bite off the chicken, I ate a piece of the stick that got stuck in the chicken. I then noticed when I was quietly choking on the stick. Whether I'd throw it up or just swallow it and hope for the best. It took awhile for that piece of stick to swallow. I finished my thai iced tea once I got it because it helped me swallow that piece of stick. As I calmly, tried not to panick and breathe normally and continued eating. My expierence was ok. Despite that I was choking. Next time I'll take out the meat off the stick. Lol and I should have never order the thai iced tea. It was good and all but I hate reminding myself that I'm lactose. For where I was seated, well the air fan was above me so I was freezing. Lol It was a bit pricey but really was worth it. I'd want to come back and order that coconut-curry chicken. Note: You know there's a chili on the side of an order to let you know that that dish is spicy. Well, on a scale of 1-5 you can choose how spicy you want your dish to be.

    This our favorite restaurant in Gilbert. They are great at accommodating my gluten free requirements. Just let them know when ordering and they will take care of you. The food is great.

    We tried thai chili last week, and have been wanting to try something different. We came on a Friday night and it was really busy, which I see as a good thing, except they were a bit slow with the service once we were seated. I ordered the Thai sizzling beef, which states "cooked to order". I like mine medium rare, but it came completely dry and very well done. The vegetables that came with it were really good, however, and the sauce was delicious. My husband got the sweet and sour steak, and although they initially got his order wrong, they were quick to correct it and his beef was perfect. Super sweet and tangy, with crispy vegetables. You can also give a "spicy preference" of 1-5. I'm a wimp and got 2, but I think next time I'll go 3 or 4, as it wasn't really too bad. We didn't see our waitress or get drink refills until we were almost done eating, and she forgot a few times we asked for water, but overall, the food was good and the atmosphere pleasant. I'd definitely like to try this place again on a less busy weekday and expand my palate a bit more!

  • Chad H.

    Stopped by 5 minutes before their closing time to order take out and they told me they were closed. Funny because their open sign was still on and there were people still eating inside. I used to run a restaurant so I know it sucks when people come in right before close but you always serve until closing time. You can start to close things down but can't refuse service just cause your want to go home early. Guess I'll take my service and money elsewhere. Tried their pad thai once before and wasn't happy with it but was going to give them a second chance and try something different. Never going back now.

    Thai Chili was a very different restaurant to me because I've never experienced Thai food before. For my first time ever trying it, Thai Chili seemed to be the right place to go. I ate Tom Kha Gai soup, green curry, Thai fried rice and chicken spring rolls and drank Thai iced tea. If I ever was to crave Thai food that would be my restaurant of choice. I enjoyed almost all of the food and the flavors were like nothing I have ever tasted. One of the foods that I tried was the Tom Kha Gai soup. The Tom Kha Gai soup was one of the most different soups I have ever tasted. It is a sour and sweet soup with Chicken, Lime Juice, Coconut milk broth and different Thai spices. I didn't really like the soup. All the flavors put together really didn't mix for me. I would still recommend it to anybody that tries Thai food for the first time because you never know you might like it. I also ordered the Thai fried rice. In this dish were vegetables, rice, chicken, egg, and Thai spices. I really enjoyed this dish because the Thai spices mixed really well with the rest of the ingredients. The item at Thai Chili that I would recommend the most is the Thai iced tea. It was made with black tea but also had cream at the top of it which in my opinion made the drink so good. I recommend the Thai iced tea to anybody that goes to this restaurant and I would definitely drink it again.

    We typically walk to Nunthaporn's on main (close to work) but it was randomly closed today so we loaded up in the car and hightailed it to Val vista-- since I have recently heard great reviews! We were greeted and seated promptly. We got three different lunch items after asking our server a few questions -- she was great! We all got salads, or plates of lettuce with a sweet dressing, I passed since I try not to eat sugar. The meals all came out at different times, kinda strange. I had chicken and the jalapeño and some other veggies with no rice add extra veggies. I'm not a big person, but give me enough to fill me up! Seriously small, but delicious portions. The spice was awesome but I left hungry...

  • Mariah C.

    Thai Chili was very outside of my comfort zone, definitely something I have never tried before. A place that everyone should try. It was quite interesting because my tastebuds could not identify all of the unique flavors I was experiencing. Even though the restaurant was in America I swear the spices had to have been flown in from Thailand. It was a groundbreaking experience for my mouth to say the least. Although it was different, it was still good for the most part. I am used to things tasting one way. For example, when you go to take a drink and you are expecting one flavor but it ends up being another. That is exactly how the entire meal was. I of course have had chicken and fried rice before, but the way it was prepared took me off guard. My dessert was sticky rice and mango. I have never thought of rice as a dessert but it was very sweet and pleasant. I recommend Thai Chili to people who enjoy trying new foods. You can also control how spicy you want your food. The server will ask you what level of heat you would like. Everything is well prepared and well served. Now that I took the opportunity to endeavor into a new culture I will definitely do it again. There is something on the menu for everyone.

    This place would be your good, dependable neighborhood Thai restaurant. I feel like it's not quite as authentic as Siam Orchid or Tum Nak Thai (both family run by husband/wife cook/wait teams) but they serve up some solid tasty food. They have a good range of vegetarian options -- I seem to always gravitate towards the Mushroom Soup, which is as close to my beloved tom kha gai as I've been able to get since I stopped eating meat. The Golden Tofu is also pretty good but I sub peanut sauce for the sweet sauce it comes with. I like their Silver Noodles -- mmm broccoli! And they actually make a Larb Tofu, which is just alright in my opinion; even though it's been years since I've eaten beef, I think the dish tastes better with it than tofu. My husband really likes their Beef Panang Curry and Pad Thai with pork. They have good lunch specials, a great rewards program, and very nice staff -- they always remember my name when I come in! I don't think you'd be disappointed here.

    Being a thai girl growing up on thai food this place is amazing. You know how it is... Nothing beats home cooked meals but this place is close! Love the waiter there. He has his special sauce and entres you should all try. Very nice staff and very great service. We tried eating there at lunch and dinner times and was always busy. Definitely a great place to get some thai food! Take advantage of their coupons! It is a bit pricey but worth it if you're hungry! Try the Thai tea :)

    Ordered food for pick up, food was okay. The one thing that peeved me was that the Pad Thai noodles had no sauce and they stuck together and molded to the container they came in. Not appetizing at all and not to mention hard to eat and SUPER dry. Yellow curry was decent. Got the "sa-te" combo skewers were dry and the "peanut" sauce had a weird jelly texture. Wasn't impressed. I do take in consideration that I order to-go and that something's are better served in the restaurant. So maybe it I'm in the mood for Thai food I might give it another try.

    I spotted this Thai restaurant on the road and decided to stop by to grab dinner. It was during peak hour so the small venue was packed with people waiting to be seated by the door. The dim lit atmosphere was warm and inviting. Quite the contrast when I asked for a table for one. Their male servers seemed more concerned with the bigger parties, but the lone female server was friendly and made me feel welcomed. I started off with the Papaya Salad ($10) served with shredded papaya, cabbage, carrots, green beans, scallions, grilled shrimps, tomato, chili, lime, and fish sauce. The dish was crisp, feisty spicy, with hints of peanut flavors here and there. The fish sauce flavor was noticeable, but weighted down given the amount of explosive spiciness. I thought adding a handful of basil could provide that welcoming lift, but I did enjoy the differential textures and the grilled jumbo shrimps immensely. Next, I tried the Spicy Mussels ($15). The plate full of mussels were sautéed in a roasted chili sauce, jalapeno, tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, bell peppers, and zucchini. The mussels were fresh, spicy, and the sweet zucchini gave it a nice contrast. It was a pleasant surprise to find Sticky Rice ($2) to go with the meal. Overall, the prices were very steep for Thai food. Even though the ingredients were freshly prepared, the spicy flavors still lacked the striking complex aroma that made me fell in love with Thai cuisine in the first place. The experience was very Westernized so this might still be a welcoming experience for a large segment of the population. The server was very nice to provide me a frequent user card, but I don't think I will return anytime soon. 2.5 stars.

    This is my go-to place when I am not able to cook myself. Always fresh and hot! Number 2 is enough... their spiciness level goes up to 5, but I am sure my stomach could not take it. I always get the green chicken curry, just enough chicken and veggies. I started going from the time they first opened and I found out the cook is Thai and her recipes are truly authentic. Definitely recommend this place if you want Thai food. Also, they don't use MSG!

    I love Thai Chili! I have been going here for over 4 years. Pretty much all the same people still work there. They know me by name when I come in. Very friendly environment and the food is excellent. The prices are very reasonable. The curry dishes are my favorite but everything I have tried was great. Highly recommend them.

    I have never had Thai food before. My husband is always ranting and raving about it. We had been asking friends and looking at yelp to help us decide on my first Thai experience. Based on what we've heard, we picked here! I believe it was the manager, Ray, he greeted us right away and was super personable. Throughout our entire meal he was checking in with us. It was slow, but we try to do that on purpose. We hate when restaurants are crazy busy (by the time we left, it was filling up!) When our waiter, Dennis, came over, I explained I had never had Thai before and I asked what he would recommend for someone new to Thai. He asked me a few questions, what I liked and didn't like, if I had any allergies, and then off he went. We got spring rolls as an app and my husband got pearl of Thai land and I believe I got rad nar. It was delicious. My husband tore through his! He said it was awesome. I had a bit me of his and my mouth was on FIRE! The waiter noticed and brought me over some Thai tea. He was SOOO attentive!!! Our meals were good but to be honest, the service made the experience. I will defiantly be coming back and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to feel like that's matter and they aren't just another customer.

    Incredible! We came for lunch and we're happy to leave with a new "go to" spot for thai food. The food is amazing. Careful with the spice levels though...we asked for level three and it was perfect. The guy later told us he made it a 2;) I can't imagine what a 3 would be! Lunch special was very affordable. $8 for a meal which also included a salad and egg roll. Very prompt and courteous service. Ambiance is just right. Will DEFINITELY be back. Thanks thai chili!

    Numnumnum! Went here for lunch and for $7.95 you get a side salad, eggroll, and main dish. I had the chicken panang and it was fantastic. My husband had drunken noodles with chicken and it was only good, but it tasted a little too much like stir fry oil.

  • D P.

    I was very impressed with the service here. The waiter came to the table, asked me a few questions (food allergies, preferred meat type, degree of spicy, noodles/rice/etc), he then told me not to worry about ordering, but that he would make me something. He then made 2 deliciously awesome dishes and they were perfect!!! Not sure exactly what we got but it was amazing! Very good food, top-notch service, will go back!

    4.5 stars! Would have been 5 stars, except I wasn't thrilled with the Pad Thai, which is the quintessential Thai dish... But omg the Panang curry beef and the yellow curry chicken and the Thai fried rice were EPIC. EPIC. EPIC!!! (And there isn't much in the culinary universe better than fried rice, right?) Great Thai iced tea and iced coffee, too. Everything I've tried other than the Pad Thai is 5 star!

  • Sheena S.

    I've only ever gotten take our gere. The chicken pad thai has all elements that make a good pad thai, sweet spicy sour salty they are generous with amount of protein. Level 3 is as hot as srriacha. Best thai in town. Second place is thai elephant

    It was a raining Saturday night and I was cold to the bone and wanted a warm bowl of curry to fill my tummy, I have driven by Thai Chili a few times and that night it was beckoning me to come on in, so I went! What a cute little place, love the feel of it. It's very clear that they do a lot of to go business, the call in orders & people coming and going were nonstop. Right off the bat I ordered some Thai tea, I love that stuff and it was perfectly sweet just the way I like it! Also ordered Sa-Te Chicken, it's really the peanut sauce I am after, that stuff is amazing, the chicken has always been a afterthought to me when I ordered that in the past at other places, but this time, the chicken was the main star, it was perfectly cooked and the seasoning, omg the flavor was amazing, almost shameful to put the peanut sauce on it. I was torn, I would bath in the peanut sauce if I could, but I didn't want anything to deter the flavor of the chicken, but in the end the peanut sauce happened. For the main dish I went with the Mussamun curry, I have to say out of all the curries, Mussamun is my favorite and it was what I craving on this cold night. It had great flavors, the chicken potatoes, carrots all perfectly cooked it was creamy orange and just heaven in the belly!! I also ordered it Thai Hot, whenever I got to a new place I just jump right to Thai Hot, the hotter the better for me, the waitress told me that's like habanero hot, and I told her to bring it!! When my dish arrived, you could visually see it was spicy, and after a few bites in my eyes were watering, SO SO GOOD!!! Then the waitress comes back to our table and tells me that their heat table goes to ten and that Thai Hot is around a 6,,,ooohhhhh oooommmmgggggg I need to try and 8 next time! Great little find, everyone was so very friendly, I enjoyed this place and look forward to coming back

    Great food and service. This place has a great atmosphere and we were lucky because it was a holiday weekend so we were able to get a table as soon as we got there. the waiter was awesome and he explained all the dishes and the heat level and it helped so much. I will be back!!

    Driving around looking for a place for lunch, found this by accident. It was packed! Only two tables left open. Quick warm welcome by staff, immediately had my drink and a delicious fresh, crisp salad with light dressing. I ordered chicken green curry and it was great! Very attentive wait staff! Fantastic lunch values! I'm glad this is so close to where I now work! I shall return

  • Dana B.

    The service was very prompt and friendly. The salad rolls were too big for my preference, causing the ingredient proportions to be off. The Tom Kha Gai soup had very good flavor but the chicken was rubbery. The cashew chicken was good but a bit too fishy. We would order different items if we came back.

    For some time, we wanted to try Thai Chili. In January 2015 we were nearby and so glad that we finally got there. The food is really very good. Since this was out first time, we ordered everything on the mild side. Next time, there'll be more spice. The lunch salad was a nice way to start. I ordered Hot & Spice soup with mushrooms--lot of mushrooms & shrimp. My wife ordered Tom Yum Goong which she enjoyed. Then we had to order the dumplings---so glad we did! For my wife's main course she ordered Beef Panang while I had Shrimp Pad Thai---lots of shrimp as today was shrimp day for me! The complete lunch was very good and we will dine here again!

    You know those nights you can't be bothered to cook? Or put on makeup? Or blow out your hair? Or put on a bra? Or take off those Yoga pants that are comfortably plastered to your behind? This was me on a Saturday night after competing in a Track and Field meet in Coolidge earlier that day. And it seemed Andrew C. was on the same page after an extended day at work. "Why not Thai food?" I remember Monica O. and Cheryl B. had raved about Thai Chili, so I pulled up the menu. Turns out they do take-out! YES, LOW MAINTENANCE EVENING! We called and ordered the Mussamun Curry with chicken at Thai Hot level 8, and the Drunken Noodles with chicken at Thai Hot level 6. Made the trek out to Gilbert. Friendly cashier, and she gladly accepted the 5% off your order with a Yelp check-in. Seems like they do a lot of carry out here, but there was a nice dining area. This stuff smelled heavenly. Was practically drooling on the drive home. Got home, popped open a bottle of wine and our to-go containers. Holy smokes, this stuff was HOT. Like, open the containers and your eyes start running hot. The Mussaman Curry was my favorite of the two. Beautiful, rich, creamy orange color. Savory coconut milk, tender chicken, carrots and potatoes. The only weird thing was the potatoes seemed to have this funky taste, like they were freeze dried. While the Drunken Noodles were delish and a good balance of chicken and vegetables, the dish didn't seem to be very saucy. Dry, almost. Also, ironically, the Drunken Noodles which we ordered at a lower heat level than the Mussaman Curry were unbearably hot (at least for me)! Maybe they mixed them up? Either way, it was reasonably priced and a great discovery. I anticipate we'll be back again and again . . . Lazy night in or nice night out!

    Every dish we had was wonderful. It's a little pricy (10-12 bucks per plate average) we spent 85 bucks for 2 with a couple imported beers. We had plenty leftovers too and 4 hrs later just as good'

  • Wendy C.

    I am a frequent customer of Thai Chili and firmly believe in excellent customer service. I normally dine in, but lately have called in my orders, or shall I say, attempted to call in my orders. Each time I would call, someone would answer and immediately ask me if they could put me on hold. I tried ordering from them a few times that particular week. When I finally got thru and picked up my order, I mentioned the situation to Ray. He was not at all sympathetic. In fact, he made excuses and said its busy, try ordering online, gave me the speech of "you have to understand, we have 5 phone lines, yada yada yada". He did not once apologize for the situation. What happened to the customer is always right?

    This is my absolute favorite place for Thai food in the valley. The staff is courteous and prompt with orders, drink refills, and have a witty sense of humor! My favorite entrees to order are yellow curry and Pra Ram! The peanut sauce is to die for. Lastly, the sticky rice with mango dessert is a must try! Definitely recommend this place!

  • Ashley M.

    I will preface this with saying I worked for a woman from Thailand in her restaurant where she served made to order (right down to chopping the veggies) thai food. I love Thai Chilli and we order from there a couple times a month. I've never ate inside as we get carry out or order delivery. Our favorites are sweet and sour and pad Thai. You can order different levels of spiciness for the dishes and different meat choices. It's not on the same level as the lady I used to work for but it's the best I've found since.

  • Mimi C.

    Little sweet for my taste, but if you like sweet and spicy Thai style this is a place for u :) I did love their chicken basil, but careful their spicy is spicy . I was crying haha. They have very good fried rice too, I had my kids a lil and I was impressed ! Love the service , fast , friendly but not over friendly . Efficient and perfect ! I just like my Thai food lil bit less sweet but that's just my preference . Food is very good here :)

  • Anagha P.

    I love eating here. The servers are very considerate and customize all the dishes according to your taste! When i went with my friends, the server worked and tailored food for a company of six picky eaters! The food is simply delicious and in generous portions. Don't be decieved by the small sitting area, just walk in and have an amazing time. My only problem is that i get so full with the entree, there is no place for desserts!

  • Louder A.

    The most over the top Thai restaurant I've been to. That is both good and bad. The lunch salad was huge! The dressing was a tad too sweet for me. Not bad though. Next my thai tea came out in a huge glass. Score! When my Panang curry came out, I was excited, but tasted it and it was too salty. This coming from a salt-a-holic, that's not good. The chicken was a tad overcooked. Not the best experience. I might just go for the pad woon sen next round, if I come back. One more thing, the staff is really nice. That's always a plus and is why I'm considering coming back. :)

    (3)

  • Nate D.

    Food was made fresh and fast. I tried the pad thai and the The beef panang curry two of my favorite dishes. They do like to use their spice level though so be warned if you can't handle heat. I am glad I ordered a 3 out of 5 in the heat level which the server recommended to me I like heat, but not to overwhelm all of the other balanced flavors of a good Thai dish. At some Thai places I order a medium heat and you get no heat at all where as with this place it is more of a building heat which I enjoyed.

    So far everything I've had has been D to the lish! Favs are yellow curry and sizzling beef. Drinker noodles are bomb too. Lunch special is pretty legit. I've been to a handful of Thai restaurants in east valley and this one is my favorite right now.

  • Jennifer M.

    Eaten here many many times this last time was our last straw. Continuously delivering poor service is our reason. The food is probably 2.5 stars but is very Americanized. It's too bad we don't have the good places by our house. But no I don't recommend this place.

  • Stephanie T.

    Thai Chili is a great, reliable neighborhood spot for good Thai food. Their rewards card is exceptional-- a free lunch for every four lunches purchased! Any other place takes 10 purchases for a free meal. Service is exceptional here too. The waitstaff is fast, nice and competent. The manager is ridiculously friendly. I'm kind of a b so I have hard time understanding how someone could be so pleasant all day long. I've been here enough to know what to focus on and what to avoid. Thankfully, the pad thai is great here, and I would get it every week if it was calorie-free. You can't go wrong with the curries either. I got the green curry tofu on my last visit, and it was so delicious. The lunch portion is very generous, and I was able to get two meals out of it. The spicy eggplant dish is another winner. I wouldn't get the drunken noodles again though. They weren't that flavorful, and they all stuck together.The sticky rice with mango had a similar problem; it all just globbed together. I've had better versions at other Thai places. All in all, this is one of your best options in the area if you want delicious food from a locally owned business. Avoid those chain restaurants at Dana Park!

    The food is amazing and everything is always made fresh to order at Thai chili. I have celiac disease and my boyfriend is lactose intolerant, but that doesn't matter here, everything is custom made to fit our needs and we never have to worry about allergens in our food. Their precautionary procedures are highly developed because they care immensely that what you eat does not make you sick. The staff is friendly and the owner/manager is outstanding! He remembered us after just one visit, but now he knows us for a different reason-we come back every week!

    Food: Excellent Ambience: Good Value: Good avg price per person 15$ Service: Good We choose this restaurant based on reviews and felt happy with the choice. When we reached there was waiting for 15min at the end we felt happy about the wait. Orders veg spring roll, veg delight & veg fried rice service was quick and we enjoyed spicy hot food. I would definitely recommend this place and would visit again. So far I would rate this very good Thai restaurant in the market, try it by yourself and let us known your comments.

  • Reese C.

    I only venture out here for two reasons: to see my best friend and to go to my allergist. Otherwise, hell no. However I am now motivated by some killer Thai! I met a friend here for lunch and when I see little tiny places like this, I usually think positively. I was right. The lunch menu offers meals for $6.95 where you get a salad, eggroll and a large entrée. I opted for the Chicken Panang and my friend got the Red Curry. Both were outstanding. They ask you what level of heat you want from a scale of 1-5. Friend got a 4, I chickened out and got a 3. My heat level was perfect. Spicy but not kill ya spicy. Fast prompt service, authentic meals, and absolutely delicious. this makes schlepping out to Gilbert less painful!

  • Mia D.

    Favorite place ever! My boyfriend and I eat here at least once a week. It always hits the spot. My faves are the Pad Siew, Shrimp and Scallops in Peanut Sauce and Beef Panang (I get it with Chicken). The boyfriend loves Pad Prig Pow, Ginger Delight and Spicy Eggplant. They are right on. I'm a wimp, so I don't add spice a spice level. Every once in awhile I try new dishes and they are always good. He gets a 2 or 3 and with that I can't drink enough water to handle it. Great staff, amazing chef, nice decor, great food to eat in or carry out. It's always hard to find a great place with all the options, when we started going to Thai Chili, we do not get Thai food anywhere else.

  • Josh F.

    I'm a big Thai food fan and am pretty picky when it comes to Thai restaurants. When I saw that Thai Chili was so close to me after I moved to the area, I was excited to try it. When I finally did, I realized I hadn't tasted Thai food this delicious since I lived in Boston several years ago. The staff is always friendly and the space is small and intimate so it'll never get too loud. On top of all that, every dish is delicious. Some restaurants may drown their entrees in sauces or the like but these guys definitely let the flavors do their jobs. Thai Chili is always on my mind when going out to eat or taking out.

  • Ashley F.

    We didn't have to ask for the lunch salad, and the service was really good despite it being crazy busy for a Monday at 1:30pm where they were clearly not expecting a late lunch rush. Pad thai was pretty decent, we've had worse and we've had better, though I wasn't crazy for the crispy chicken and plum sauce. It wasn't bad, though! I don't know that there was anything wrong with it, I was just trying something new and decided it wasn't my fave. I'll try a curry or the panang next time based on reviews, because our experience was good enough to come back for sure. Oh, the Thai Iced Coffee was the best I've had!

  • Alison D.

    This place is awesome. I get the Chicken Panang and it is sooooo yummy. Their spice scale is 1-10. I order as a 5 for spice. I could probably go a little higher on that, but it is delicious. I love the pineapple dressing on the starter salad. This little restaurant is CLEAN, friendly, GREAT VALUE, and EXCELLENT food. Enjoy!

  • Brian B.

    Best Thai food I've had in years. Excellent, fast service, nice intimate atmosphere, and outstanding food. Big menu with lots of variety and very authentic Thai cuisine. Big portions too! I had the Pad Thai at level 6 spiciness - only the bravest should go further! - and was impressed by this standard. Noddles were perfect consistency, the chicken was tender, and the flavors more complex and enjoyable than I recall ever tasting in this dish elsewhere. HIGHLY recommended!

  • Michael W.

    Thai Chili was a bit of a disappointment for us... It seems like we might have had an isolated incident given the positive reviews others have given it. The drunken noodles seemed tasteless, and the spiciness was all over the place, (mine was supposed to be the spiciest, but wasn't spicy at all). The BBQ Chicken was great, just hard to eat. The service lacked a little bit, one waiter for all the tables doesn't seem sufficient... but at least there was a cute hostess ;-)

  • Amy Z.

    Very nice atmosphere and decor. All tables and no booths, in case you were wondering, and in case you are a "booth" person. We sat right in front of the cash register, and the downside to that was people picking up take out orders kept bumping my chair, but it wasn't a make it or break it event. The staff was very pleasant and my drink didn't sit empty for more than 2 minutes, TOPS. (That is a BIG deal for me, especially with spicy Thai food) I ordered green curry at a 10 (level of spice) and it was just right!!! The vegetables were cooked perfectly, and it had a smooth texture. The portions were very large as well. Enough for lunch the next day for sure. We also ordered spring rolls, and they were delicious. Had a sweet taste to them, but were fresh and crisp. I would come here again for sure. They're green curry (on a scale of 1-10) is about an 8.5 or a 9.

  • Athen F.

    This is absolutely one of my favorite restaurants period. But also is definitely my favorite Thai restaurant and I LOVE Thai and have tried many different places. I crave their Red Curry or Pineapple Curry - TO DIE FOR! I usually get a level 4 or 5 spice and it's quite heated. Also the Thai fresh rolls and Pad Thai are great picks. You've gotta try this if you love Thai, spicy food and unique flavors. Prices are very reasonable also.

  • Mandy L.

    Went there with a half price groupon. Every thing was nummmmmy! The service was a bit off. They were very friendly just a bit akward. They got slammed with groupon guests all at the same time right after we were seated. I had a specialty the chicken and steak in lemon garlic sauce heat rating of five. It was good not hot enough for my taste but I was too afraid to order higher at a new place. Five is full of flavor and a little heat on the end. My chef boyfriend tryed my sauce and said it was from a jar. He said he has it in his kitchen. a little disapointed if that is true since it was called a speacality of the house. But it was very good and I was completly satisfied. I would definatly go back without question.

  • Jules H.

    The best Thai food! Nice decor, and we had great service. Water glasses were always refilled promptly, and our waiter was attentive without being obtrusive. Food: pad thai - good, but texturally the noodles were a smidge overcooked, and therefore clumpy. beef salad - very, very flavorful. we ordered this one spicy, and I had to stop eating it because my eyes started watering! They aren't kidding around with the heat level here :) curry - fantastically rich with nicely cooked vegetables + chicken. The SO isn't the biggest fan of Thai food, but we'll be back when he's in the mood for something spicy!

  • Tara A.

    I am so dissapointed! It started off good. I ordered 3 dishes from the menu they dropped off at my house ~2 months ago and the food was delivered in 20 minutes instead of the 45. I'm thinking 'OK, awesome', super fast delivery, the food is packaged in these neat snap-top plastic containers, everything is looking good! The portions were on the small side, but that is not unusual for delivery. However, there were a few big problems. The first was that the delivery guy was super rude, just grunted at me and shoved a receipt in my direction. The biggest problem was that the food was not good. Then to top it off, the menu prices had all increased by at least 2 dollars in the last 2 months. I understand menu prices change, but 40$ for 3 dishes of Panda Express quality food.... Definitely will not eat here again. Tofu Lovers- 3/10 -Most of the tofu was overcooked, the rest was UNDER cooked (how did they accomplish this???). The sauce was bland. Silver Noodles- 5/10 -Noodles were over-cooked so they stuck together in a huge, dry clump. There were not enough vegetable for my liking. 5 or 6 broccoli florets and a handful of bean sprouts. The flavor was decent it was pleasantly spicy. Drunken Noodles w. Shrimp- 7/10 -Shrimp was clean and cooked well and the sauce was flavorful.

    Small, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff. Waited about 30 min. on a Saturday night for two. Ordered..... tom yum Gai (hot & Sour Soup) $3.50 Thai hot & sour soup with chicken, mushrooms, lemongrass, galangal and kaffir lime - LIKED THE SOUP! Ordered the; Sa-te chicken $6.95 Tender dark meat chicken marinated in Thai spice, barbecued and served with cucumber sauce and peanut sauce, - I LIKED THIS APPETIZER JUST NEEDED SOME MORE HEAT. muS-Sa-mun curry $8.95 An exquisite dish demonstrating Indian influence in Thai cuisine. A wonderful mix of chicken, potatoes, carrots, onion and bell peppers in a spicy curry blend - THOUGHT IT HAD OK FLAVOR. pad priG pao $8.95 Onion and Jalapenos stir- fried in our homemade chili sauce - I WAS HYPED FOR THIS DISH, BUT THE DISH JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE HEAT AND FLAVOR I EXPECTED. I will give this place another try. After talking to one of the owners they have Dry Garlic Chicken!

    I lived in Thailand for several years so I am spoiled and have high standards for authenticity. This place does it right. Even their determination of level of spiciness is fine tuned. Because they use fresh chilis rather than overloading the food with the dried chilis--big difference. Service is great and it has remained great since I first went there 2 years ago.

    My family loves coming here. The service is always really good. Friendly staff. We always get the chicken satay app and chicken curry. YUM!!! My son is super picky and they are willing to take away and add if needed. The sticky rice is a MUST for dessert.

    Ok, my coveted 4 stars for being a fresh restaraunt. I life Thai food. If you have a passion for real, fresh food and have never tried Thai, you're missing out. If you've had Thai, you'll love this place. Small, but always full. They actually use a grandma's secret family recipes. Really.

  • Travis T.

    This restaurant is a great value and has good service. My wife and I came here for lunch and we both got full for $15 and some change before leaving a tip. We both got lunch specials that started off with egg drop soup. The egg drop soup had peas and carrots and corn in it, which is different but still did nothing for me. For our entrees I got a red curry chicken dish and my wife got an eggplant dish with tofu that she read good things about. When you order they have you rate how spicy you want your food on a scale of 1 to 10. We both requested a level 6 out of 10 spiciness. The dishes came in a short amount of time with one small egg roll each, some sweet and sour sauce on the side, and some white rice. The egg rolls were ok. So far I wasn't impressed but then I tasted the entree and was pleased. My red curry had great curry and coconut flavor to it with just the right amount of spice. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. The chicken was just a little dry but it was all white meat so that is probably why. My wife's eggplant and tofu dish was great too. The tofu was not deep fried (which I like) and it had just the right texture and firmness to it. Normally i don't like tofu but this was good. The sauce was very tasty and different. The eggplant was very well done. It is easy to screw up eggplant but this was just right. It wasn't bitter like eggplant can be sometimes and it wasn't too soft or mushy. The vegetables in this dish were equally as good as the ones in my dish. My wife's dish seemed hotter than mine but that is probably because of the coconut milk in my dish masking the heat. I would probably back off to a number 5 or even 4 spiciness on dishes without coconut milk in the future. When we paid our tiny bill we learned about their rewards program where your fifth entree is free! This is great. This is the first sit down restaurant with waiter service that I have heard of that has a reward card. It is a great value and we are already half way to a free entree! Sign me up for that!

    Not the best Thai food I have had. I found it very bland and too greasy. It seemed to be more about the chili than thai spice.

    I will definitely be back soon! Nice clean restaurant with many menu options (Indian owners and Thai cook makes for the best of both worlds). The server was friendly and attentive; he answered questions about the menu and kept the drinks full. The coconut ice cream is homemade in house daily! The owner even stopped by our table to ensure everything was up to par.

  • Tracy M.

    Now, I hardly ever get down to the far southeast valley but found myself starving after a client visit. It's a rainy day so some nice Thai would go down really nicely I thought. I scoped the 'people love us on Yelp' sticker on the window and I was in!! It was busy, nearly every table was occupied but I managed to work my way into a small table with a wave from the waiter that he'd provide a menu shortly. While waiting I saw a man and woman who appeared to be the owners (??) more Indo than Chine, but studiously going over the operations of the restaurant. And I waited. And waited. Major star deduction. Their lunch specials are seven bucks so I chose my fave Pad C U with chicken and medium heat. Heat was perfect, but other than that the dish fell short. This was rather salty, and coming from me that's really saying something. I felt it really lacked the complexity that I've experienced elsewhere.

    Considering that I find a lot of the restaurants in the Gilbert area on the bland side, I am delighted with the quality of food at Thai Chili! Their dishes are always freshly prepared, very flavorful, with friendly and attentive staff. I have been going there since they have opened and their food and service is consistently great. The roast duck is always wonderful, never gamey tasting or greasy with crisp skin. Pricing is reasonable, too.

    Excellent Thai food. I split the mushroom soup and the tofu in plum sauce with my girlfriend. It was enough food for two, and left room for sticky rice and coconut ice cream for dessert.

    Thai Chili is our favorite Thai place in the East Valley. Their food is amazing and their prices are very reasonable. We've gone for both lunch and dinner and have been very happy. We've taken several friends and family members to share you amazing discovery. Sometimes there is a little wait but it is well worth it and the service is great.

    A solid four. No need to worry it's anything less. I'm impressed we have a place like this in the Val Vista Lakes area. Clean, modern, clean, good service, clean, good pad thai and clean. You always worry about that in a mom and pop. Very good lunch special. Spice scale is 1-10. I got a 3 and it was just enough for me. My sister got an 8 and was blown away and she likes spicey. Just a heads up.

    Love this place!!! Generous portions for great prices. When this place first opened they had white table cloths and candles and waiters with ties. The service was a little "awkward" but that is to be expected with any new restaurant opening (especially a non-corporate establishment). However, the food was amazing! Not "white table cloth this food is too pretty to eat "amazing but great development of flavor and spice. Best part about it is that you get to pick your level of spiciness. I like hot so I went with a 7 out of 10 and it was perfect. Now, the white tablecloths are gone and they aren't over thinking their whole concept. More focus on the food and less on the formality of the service. All I can say is that if you have tried it before and had a so so experience, go back and give it one more try. They have something for everyone from combo fried rice ( my husbands favorite) to pad Thai to vegetarian dishes. The pineapple chicken curry is my personal first choice but I am making my self branch out next time.

    Awesome awesome awesome. The food is great, the lunch specials are a steal, and they really treat you right. Each time I've been I've been so impressed with the staff. Even had the chef come to our table once because the person I was with made up her own custom dish and the chef wanted to see how it turned out- it was perfect. Totally recommend!

    Thai Chili is pretty good. Think of a #10 spicy. I actually tried a 7/10 and started dying because I couldn't tolerate it. I underestimated the heat. This place is also very accommodating for big parties. It's well renovated and the prices are fair. Probably better than all the other Thai places in Mesa

    Tried this restaurant per living social app and was surprisingly pleased by the food that they serve. The taste was splendid, original Thai food that really rare to find in the valley. Their Thai ice tea was perfect! Crispy tofu with peanut Thai sauce as appetizer was melting in my mouth! And my favorite Pad See Ew with beef was taste so good that I'm craving for more. They also were very generous in their portion. Overall I'm pretty sure I'll be back in this place for more Pad See Ew!

    As a self-proclaimed Thai food snob, I have to say this place rocks and Gilbert has needed a great Thai place for a long time. Thai Chili has a nice low-key atmosphere, great service and excellent, tasty food. We started with the Tom Kai Gai soup which was flavorful, slightly sweet and rich. It was the perfect blend of flavors and everything Tom Kai Gai should be. My husband and I shared the drunken noodles with chicken (be warned, it's pretty darn spicy) and the Massaman Curry - a rich blend of curry with coconut, potato, chicken and the right amount of heat. The cocount ice cream with sticky rice topped off our evening. Everything was delicious and I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

  • Mae N.

    Both myself and my family love this place. The two times we have gone were for special occasions (birthdays). It's really hard for us to try out a new place for something as important as a birthday, but the first time we came it was amazing. Not only was my vegetarian and highly picky mother able to find something that she A) Loved and B) Had never had before, but the service was really excellent . The atmosphere is great, their dishes are so good, better than any of the Thai food restaurants I've had in the Valley (which is saying something because I have eaten at a lot of Thai places around here). I would highly recommend the Larb Tofu (the dish my Mom loves), and the Yellow Curry. Sooo good!

    Thai Chili in Gilbert, AZ Cares about allergies, including Gluten. Their food is absolutely Delicious! They do not up charge for GLUTEN FREE! They will work hard to customize whatever you desire in order to take special precautions with allergies!!!

    I love this place.... but I haven't actually ever been inside. Found this place on Yelp and have ordered delivery about 6 times already (even though it says there's no delivery on Yelp- there really is and this place gets an extra star from me for delivering). I've never been disappointed with the food, delivery time, or service over the phone. Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles are excellent staples as well as the Spring Rolls. I also really like the Tofu Lovers (Fried tofu, lots of veggies, and Thai 'gravy') and the Thai Toast. Will definitely have to try the curry next time!

  • Anne I.

    Ok let me say that I'm not an expert on Thai food. Really I've only ever had it once before, but I liked it so I decided to give Thai Chili a try. I really liked it! The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is I've only sampled one thing (the Beef Panang at a level 3) and it'd have to be drop dead awesome for something to get that (I'll be honest I've never given anything a 5). They gave me just the right level of spicy. I did take out and it was ready and hot when I got there but I think I will take my husband there in the future. It looks like a really intimate dining experience. I'm excited I found this place it will now be my go to Thai food place in Gilbert!

  • Whitny S.

    My hubby and I went out to this with the living social deal and we are so glad we found it. A new favorite. The Satay was really really good but it was chicken tenderloin, which isn't traditional. Kind of funny, but the sauces were so so yummy. I had the drunken noodles, awesome. My hubby had a yellow curry. Can't remember the name. He just loved it. Can't wait to go back. Give it a try. The prices were right too.

  • Jill N.

    If you want to get take out this is your place but not for dine in. The food was good but we waited over 30 mins for our order while we watched other people come and go. They had to have forgotten about us. We finally asked for our food to go because we had to get going. They just said "sorry about the wait" but didn't really care. Plus our waiter kept bringing my husband refills on his soda but not for me. Agh! Like I said, take out only. Unless you have lots of time to wait.

  • Laura S.

    Went in this time and was beyond pleased with my experience! This time the owner was there and took my order. When I couldn't decide which soup to have with my lunch special, she brought them both out! I LOVE this place! Love the management, love the food, love the prices! The only thing (and sooo not important) is I wish they had booths! YUMMY!!!

  • Christine M.

    Fresh rolls, papaya salad & beef curry all amazing. Very affordable. Service was great - they were a bit in the weeds but acknowledged it rather than not make eye contact. This will be a tough spot for a restaurant like this to survive but we are hopeful. Great minimal menu, busy and locally owned.

  • Midnight B.

    One of my favorite restaurants! Their food is just incredible and the portions are generous. I'm absolutely addicted to their pad thai, and they have a homemade pineapple dressing that is unbelievably good. (Take it from someone that doesn't even like salad, this stuff rocks!) The place is small but clean, and the staff is very friendly. The only con is that the servers can be a little slow on the refills and check, which may be a turnoff for some. Personally, I think the quality food here is well worth the wait. I always thought their spice was a little weak, but I recently tried a ten and found out how very wrong I was. They can definitely appeal to spice lovers and haters alike. I'd definitely recommend Thai Chili for almost any occasion

    This has become my favorite Thai place in the East Valley. The food is amazing and the service is wonderful. I go in for lunch on a regular basis and they don't have Pineapple Fried Rice on the menu but, they always make it just the way I like it!! My own personal custom dish....

    This place was great! I see it becoming my new weekday lunch time visit! I went with a friend and I had beef panang and my friend had their pad thai. Mine was delicious and my friend really enjoyed theirs too. Seemed like the business was there to please - they decorated nicely - white table cloths and all and the service was amazing! I was very impressed with this place. Could be a cute, simple date night place too. Now, to work on that date.... :)

    My wife and I both lived in Thailand for many years and so we enjoy trying out Thai places in the Valley. We were not disappointed with Thai Chili. Pleasant atmosphere (just about the only Thai restaurant I've been to with tablecloths. This could be a mistake since the usual way to eat Thai food -- passing around and sharing several dishes -- can get messy). We shared larb gai (spicy minced chicken with mint and other things) and green curry. We can recommend both, and there was enough so we could bring some home. We had both dishes at "spice 10," and it was quite hot, the way we like it. If you prefer it milder just get a lower number.

    Went Sunday, 6/5 = two completely unhappy Asian people. The two of us ordered a number of items and were disappointed. I began Yelping on my phone as we ere leaving and had so much to say that I thought I would finish my thoughts when I got home - didn't get around to it, but I HAVE to share the experience. 1) service was HORRIFIC: - a table seated after us received their appetizers before we got anything - I asked to cancel my order of wine since it had been over 10 minutes since I had ordered it, the manager offered to comp it and I declined (yup, that's how annoyed I was) - the server apologized profusely because he had to leave and deliver orders to people 2) the food was "bleh" - ordered hot and sour soup: he LOVES this stuff, he had a little of it and set it aside, all he could say was, "uninspiring" - ordered pad thai: I agree with a previous Yelper, you can't mess it up, but it was too sweet for my taste and nothing great overall, at least she added the extra peanuts I asked for - ordered spicy eggplant (beef): I have ordered this from other places and LOVED it, here it was good - ordered thai sizzling beef: it was good - ordered the golden banana: BLEH = disappointed that they served it with maple syrup as a dipping sauce from a bottle on the kitchen counter - manager comp'd my sticky rice with thai custard THANK GOD because the custard was cooked all wrong (it was basically cooked eggs) NEVER, EVER, EVER, going back to any of the Thai Chilis I've seen out here. EVER!

  • glenn r.

    We have found our new favorite thai place! We walked in and jordan, our server welcomed us and was very attentive to our needs. Nice clean atmosphere with plenty of natural light. We had the red chicken curry and chicken pad thai. Both had excellent flavor and generous portions for a reasonable price. The red chili had jalapenos in it so if u can't handle the spice then ask to have it prepared without. The chicken fresh rolls were delicious with the warm peanut sauce. They have been open about 2 months as of this posting, and with the quality and service we experienced, I hope they are able to stay around for a very long time. Overall a 5 star experience and we will definitely be back.

  • jennifer y.

    I love the Beef Panang is the best I have had it else where and it just isn't the same it is soooooo much better here. The spring rolls are great big and the filling you can actually taste. My husband orders the pad thai noodles and he says they are great and some of the best he has had. Even better they always have coupon and deals you can get. Can't use the restaurant.com certificates any more though but still lots of coupons. I am going there tonight and can't wait.

    Last night I was craving Thai food. So I was found Thai Chili through yelp and it was great! It happen to be 5 minutes before they closed and they still delivered to us! I got the #47 Pineapple Curry spicy scale 8. Went down great and their sticky rice was great. My girlfriend got the #24 Pad Thai spicy scale 1(she can't stand hot food) and she loved it as I did which I ate the left overs! Definately will be ordering them again and often! #1 Fresh rolls were nice, too much mint/basil in it though.

  • Lee L.

    I agree with the SERVICE issues, we were enamored with Thai Chili going back several times until we experience service from the tall dark haired waiter. He acted like he was doing us a favor by being there; speaking in a condescending tone and being a total know it all. He didn't LISTEN to our questions, didn't let us finish our special order and then GOT OUR ORDER WRONG! Forgot anything extra we asked for. Usually I wouldn't take the time to complain about such things but this guy is making you lose business. Either he needs an attitude adjustment and better service skills or you will continue to lose customers. SERIOUSLY we will only get take out if he is going to be our server. Like the below comment, I felt like calling the owner and applying for a job because I could just see their money flying out the door with the customers that were leaving because he didn't acknowledge them when they walked in. Seriously, the restaurant is the size of a postage stamp, it takes a second to make eye contact with guests walking in and saying "i will be right with you" instead of acting SO PUT OUT because he had people walk in.

    Well, I got here about 10 mins. before closing, unbeknownst to me, and I didn't even get dirty I'm-gonna-spit-in-your-food looks. Big smiles and kindness all around. I feel bad now, but I didn't know they were closing until they started turning off lights when I left. Anyhow, the next thing I noticed when I got in my car was there was no smell. One of the best things about Thai is the wonderful aromas. How could this be? I checked and found my order packaged in plastic instead of styrofoam-phew! Nice touch. Unfortunately, when I got home I found the meat to be chewy @ best w/ a sticky, sweet sauce. At least, the cilantro stood out. Very fresh. This was served w/shredded cabbage-also kind of chewy and sticky rice. I've never had sticky rice w/a savory dish, but who doesn't love sticky rice, right? Overall, not to-die-for, but I'd probably go back. It's close to home and it was closing time after all. My bad.

    Upon our third visit to this place, we decided to never come back again. First of all, the owners of this place are completely oblivious as to how to really run a business. Service is extremely poor, to the point that it's intolerable, and, expect to wait at least an hour for food that, at it's best, i'ts average. They seem to serve food in a random--often selective-- manner. We were there yesterday and waited for more than an hour while we savored our empty glasses of water...while other people walked in and got served right away, included a man who was apparently an acquaintance. He walked in and his lunch was readily served! With all the wonderful choices in the valley, please, please, don't waste time on this awful place and visit another restaurant. I would not be surprised if one of these fortunate days, they are no longer in business.

  • Chrystle W.

    Another fantastic dinner at Thai Chili tonight! The server had a handy electronic gadget to ensure that the order was correct (I never do trust the servers who don't write down my order!) and was attentive but not annoying. Our table ordered the thai iced tea, wantons, pad thai, yellow curry, and sweet sticky rice with mango (only $32 for 3 people and we were stuffed) - all were completely demolished with a smile! They have an email list that you can sign up for to get special promos so we'll see what that brings. They also have a very clean restroom which is not always the case for small restaurants. I'd recommend a 3-4 on the spicy level if you are a wuss like me but like a *little* kick.

    My first impression of the restaurant was that it was small. It is basically a square dining room. The decor and lighting were nice and the place was adequately clean. For a Saturday night at 8pm, business wasn't booming, but it was dead either. The menu is large with mostly Americanized Thai dishes. Entree prices are reasonable, appetizers maybe a little high. Beer was little expensive too. A bottle of Kilt Lifter was $5. The service started out just OK. Our waiter wasn't very warm and seemed to have only limited knowledge of the menu. However, he kept my water filled and our food was delivered in a reasonable time. Portions are generous and the vegetables were fresh. I ordered a "5" on my dish and was disappointed by the lack of spiciness. I got the eggplant with chicken. Overall, it was pretty good. One piece of the eggplant was a little undercooked and the chicken tasted gamy, probably dark meat. I used a lot of soy sauce. I was very impressed with the brown rice - super fresh and sticky and some of the best I've had. My girlfriend got the shrimp salad, which she was very impressed with also. We didn't do any deserts or appetizers. We used a groupon and Its certainly not worth the drive from Scottsdale without one. Really, this is more a like a 3.5 star restaurant and if you live within a few miles - Thai Chili is a reasonable alternative for fresh food with a decent value.

    Been coming here for over 3 years. Always great food! However we just went in today and they now only serve Thai beer. We always used to get kilt lifter but now it's only Thai beer. Don't know if we will be back. Again, food was still the same great Thai food. 3 stars for no beer choices.

    This our favorite restaurant in Gilbert. They are great at accommodating my gluten free requirements. Just let them know when ordering and they will take care of you. The food is great. I always get the same thing: pad Thai. My wife explores other options. The staff is friendly and efficient. The food can vary in hotness.

    You know what? I love this place. I love this place because I've been getting delivery from them for about a year now almost every week. Their good has it all- a good amount of variety, a great amount of taste, speedy service and reliable consistency with getting my orders right. They've got all of your Thai favourites, but they also break the mould by offering some specialities that you probably won't find elsewhere. Today I tried their catfish for the first time and it is AMAZING! A new favorite of mine. Everything that I've gotten from them has been great. Even the salads. I mean, who orders salad for delivery from a Thai restaurant!?! This guy does. And he's very happy with the salad that he received.

  • L P.

    Not bad, I've had better. It's average place. Nothing special on my book. Tried the beef sizzler but not a lot of meat for $14! Sauce is like the burnt bottom of the pan and I hate that. Seafood was ok should of had a more ginger taste. Actual most needed more Asian falvor. Customer service is ok, didn't refill waters in time. If I felt like Asian food in this area I'll come again, but I'd rather goto Siam Orchid or one resto at Mekong market area. Sorry wish it was good!

    This is a tiny place inside of a strip mall that I had never known existed. My in-laws actually suggested it, and we met there for dinner. They raved about it, and the place was tiny but packed. I had the yellow curry, and wife had something with peanut sauce on it. Everything was delicious, and arrived quickly. They have the typical 1-5 scale of hotness, and I ventured a 3 while everyone else stayed at 2. 3 was perfect for me, but they were all complaining about their "2+" dishes. I concluded that they were all wimps, but if you are also a wimp know that 2 is "wimp hot".

  • Karen W.

    Placed an order to go. Got the silver noodle rainbow salad and some Thai fresh rolls (Spring rolls). The rolls come with the option of peanut sauce or hoisin sauce to dip them with. I chose the peanut sauce. The rolls themselves were big and filled with a lot of vegetables and noodles but very little chicken. Unfortunately they tasted bland and I needed to dip them in the sauce to get any flavor. The sauce was served hot though, which eliminated the refreshing component of spring rolls that I typically enjoy about them. The silver noodle salad was a gigantic portion, with nicely cooked shrimp, vegetables, and a hearty portion of noodles. It was served with a whole wedge of cabbage, kind of strange if you ask me. People don't normally gnaw on whole wedges of cabbage as a side to go with their meal. The noodle salad had a good spicy kick to it from chiles and definitely had a lot of flavor. Service was friendly and I had no problem redeeming a Yelp check in offer. Although I wasn't too impressed with what I ordered, I'll definitely give them another try to see if I like other dishes!

    Our EX favorite restaurant. We have been getting food delivered from this place for years now and all of a sudden they don't deliver to our area? We spend on average $50 on each order we place with them and ordered as recently as last month, but now the 'manager on duty' decides that they arent going to take our order this time? Don't get me wrong...great food, but SH*TTY customer service. You just lost yourself a long time customer and one of your biggest fans.

  • Bryan H.

    We are regular customers and live right across the street from this place. We came in about 2 weeks ago and brought in some food in a bag from another restaurant for my wifes son. He doesn't like Thai food. We sat down, they brought us our menus and than another lady came out and said we can't have outside food brought into the restaurant, managers policy. Everyone was staring in the place and it was just a really weird experience. What are we suppose to do throw away his food outside and come back in the restaurant ? For one thing me and my wife own a smoothie / juice bar and people come in all the time with subway and starbucks, big deal we are not going to ask them to basically leave because they brought some outside food in. They didn't even offer us a to go order or anything. You would think the least they could do is say hey managers policy we don't allow outside food in but you can eat it here this time so we will definately not return to this place again. There are plenty of other Thai restaurants in the area.

    Favorite Thai place, hands down. The green curry is one of my favorites and the beef panang is delicious. I can't get enough of this place! The service here is what makes it special. The waiters are knowledgeable and kind. Even picky eaters can eat here with a little bit of help! I keep going back here year after year! Definitely the best Thai food experience I've ever had!

    Had dinner here this evening. It was busy with in and out customers but we were seated five minutes after we got in. The service was really good. We ordered alot of food from fried rice, Tom Yum soup, thai chicken, coconut-curry chicken which we ordered like two because it was so good- that paired with a sweet sauce and a peanut sauce and duck, pad thai and fresh thai egg rolls. There's one dish I loved and it was the coconut curry chicken on a stick. I forgot what it was called but it tasted like coconut-curry. And when you dip into that creamy peanut sauce and thai sweet sauce. Wow delish! I was so hungry that when I ate the chicken from the stick, I didn't realized that when I took a bite off the chicken, I ate a piece of the stick that got stuck in the chicken. I then noticed when I was quietly choking on the stick. Whether I'd throw it up or just swallow it and hope for the best. It took awhile for that piece of stick to swallow. I finished my thai iced tea once I got it because it helped me swallow that piece of stick. As I calmly, tried not to panick and breathe normally and continued eating. My expierence was ok. Despite that I was choking. Next time I'll take out the meat off the stick. Lol and I should have never order the thai iced tea. It was good and all but I hate reminding myself that I'm lactose. For where I was seated, well the air fan was above me so I was freezing. Lol It was a bit pricey but really was worth it. I'd want to come back and order that coconut-curry chicken. Note: You know there's a chili on the side of an order to let you know that that dish is spicy. Well, on a scale of 1-5 you can choose how spicy you want your dish to be.

    We tried thai chili last week, and have been wanting to try something different. We came on a Friday night and it was really busy, which I see as a good thing, except they were a bit slow with the service once we were seated. I ordered the Thai sizzling beef, which states "cooked to order". I like mine medium rare, but it came completely dry and very well done. The vegetables that came with it were really good, however, and the sauce was delicious. My husband got the sweet and sour steak, and although they initially got his order wrong, they were quick to correct it and his beef was perfect. Super sweet and tangy, with crispy vegetables. You can also give a "spicy preference" of 1-5. I'm a wimp and got 2, but I think next time I'll go 3 or 4, as it wasn't really too bad. We didn't see our waitress or get drink refills until we were almost done eating, and she forgot a few times we asked for water, but overall, the food was good and the atmosphere pleasant. I'd definitely like to try this place again on a less busy weekday and expand my palate a bit more!

    Stopped by 5 minutes before their closing time to order take out and they told me they were closed. Funny because their open sign was still on and there were people still eating inside. I used to run a restaurant so I know it sucks when people come in right before close but you always serve until closing time. You can start to close things down but can't refuse service just cause your want to go home early. Guess I'll take my service and money elsewhere. Tried their pad thai once before and wasn't happy with it but was going to give them a second chance and try something different. Never going back now.

    Thai Chili was a very different restaurant to me because I've never experienced Thai food before. For my first time ever trying it, Thai Chili seemed to be the right place to go. I ate Tom Kha Gai soup, green curry, Thai fried rice and chicken spring rolls and drank Thai iced tea. If I ever was to crave Thai food that would be my restaurant of choice. I enjoyed almost all of the food and the flavors were like nothing I have ever tasted. One of the foods that I tried was the Tom Kha Gai soup. The Tom Kha Gai soup was one of the most different soups I have ever tasted. It is a sour and sweet soup with Chicken, Lime Juice, Coconut milk broth and different Thai spices. I didn't really like the soup. All the flavors put together really didn't mix for me. I would still recommend it to anybody that tries Thai food for the first time because you never know you might like it. I also ordered the Thai fried rice. In this dish were vegetables, rice, chicken, egg, and Thai spices. I really enjoyed this dish because the Thai spices mixed really well with the rest of the ingredients. The item at Thai Chili that I would recommend the most is the Thai iced tea. It was made with black tea but also had cream at the top of it which in my opinion made the drink so good. I recommend the Thai iced tea to anybody that goes to this restaurant and I would definitely drink it again.

    We typically walk to Nunthaporn's on main (close to work) but it was randomly closed today so we loaded up in the car and hightailed it to Val vista-- since I have recently heard great reviews! We were greeted and seated promptly. We got three different lunch items after asking our server a few questions -- she was great! We all got salads, or plates of lettuce with a sweet dressing, I passed since I try not to eat sugar. The meals all came out at different times, kinda strange. I had chicken and the jalapeño and some other veggies with no rice add extra veggies. I'm not a big person, but give me enough to fill me up! Seriously small, but delicious portions. The spice was awesome but I left hungry...

    Thai Chili was very outside of my comfort zone, definitely something I have never tried before. A place that everyone should try. It was quite interesting because my tastebuds could not identify all of the unique flavors I was experiencing. Even though the restaurant was in America I swear the spices had to have been flown in from Thailand. It was a groundbreaking experience for my mouth to say the least. Although it was different, it was still good for the most part. I am used to things tasting one way. For example, when you go to take a drink and you are expecting one flavor but it ends up being another. That is exactly how the entire meal was. I of course have had chicken and fried rice before, but the way it was prepared took me off guard. My dessert was sticky rice and mango. I have never thought of rice as a dessert but it was very sweet and pleasant. I recommend Thai Chili to people who enjoy trying new foods. You can also control how spicy you want your food. The server will ask you what level of heat you would like. Everything is well prepared and well served. Now that I took the opportunity to endeavor into a new culture I will definitely do it again. There is something on the menu for everyone.

    This place would be your good, dependable neighborhood Thai restaurant. I feel like it's not quite as authentic as Siam Orchid or Tum Nak Thai (both family run by husband/wife cook/wait teams) but they serve up some solid tasty food. They have a good range of vegetarian options -- I seem to always gravitate towards the Mushroom Soup, which is as close to my beloved tom kha gai as I've been able to get since I stopped eating meat. The Golden Tofu is also pretty good but I sub peanut sauce for the sweet sauce it comes with. I like their Silver Noodles -- mmm broccoli! And they actually make a Larb Tofu, which is just alright in my opinion; even though it's been years since I've eaten beef, I think the dish tastes better with it than tofu. My husband really likes their Beef Panang Curry and Pad Thai with pork. They have good lunch specials, a great rewards program, and very nice staff -- they always remember my name when I come in! I don't think you'd be disappointed here.

    Being a thai girl growing up on thai food this place is amazing. You know how it is... Nothing beats home cooked meals but this place is close! Love the waiter there. He has his special sauce and entres you should all try. Very nice staff and very great service. We tried eating there at lunch and dinner times and was always busy. Definitely a great place to get some thai food! Take advantage of their coupons! It is a bit pricey but worth it if you're hungry! Try the Thai tea :)

    I work right by Thai chili, thank goodness! I love love love them, the food is always hot, delicious and tons of it. My go to dish is the red curry with chicken, hot #3. The manager is so nice, always smiling. So excited they just opened a to go place in queen creek, where I live, lol now I can have it at work, and home.

  • J B.

    Wow, they are fast! Most people seem to dine in, but their take-out orders come super quickly. The prices seem pretty fair for what you're getting, and I'd definitely recommend the mango with sticky rice dessert

    I spotted this Thai restaurant on the road and decided to stop by to grab dinner. It was during peak hour so the small venue was packed with people waiting to be seated by the door. The dim lit atmosphere was warm and inviting. Quite the contrast when I asked for a table for one. Their male servers seemed more concerned with the bigger parties, but the lone female server was friendly and made me feel welcomed. I started off with the Papaya Salad ($10) served with shredded papaya, cabbage, carrots, green beans, scallions, grilled shrimps, tomato, chili, lime, and fish sauce. The dish was crisp, feisty spicy, with hints of peanut flavors here and there. The fish sauce flavor was noticeable, but weighted down given the amount of explosive spiciness. I thought adding a handful of basil could provide that welcoming lift, but I did enjoy the differential textures and the grilled jumbo shrimps immensely. Next, I tried the Spicy Mussels ($15). The plate full of mussels were sautéed in a roasted chili sauce, jalapeno, tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, bell peppers, and zucchini. The mussels were fresh, spicy, and the sweet zucchini gave it a nice contrast. It was a pleasant surprise to find Sticky Rice ($2) to go with the meal. Overall, the prices were very steep for Thai food. Even though the ingredients were freshly prepared, the spicy flavors still lacked the striking complex aroma that made me fell in love with Thai cuisine in the first place. The experience was very Westernized so this might still be a welcoming experience for a large segment of the population. The server was very nice to provide me a frequent user card, but I don't think I will return anytime soon. 2.5 stars.

    This is my go-to place when I am not able to cook myself. Always fresh and hot! Number 2 is enough... their spiciness level goes up to 5, but I am sure my stomach could not take it. I always get the green chicken curry, just enough chicken and veggies. I started going from the time they first opened and I found out the cook is Thai and her recipes are truly authentic. Definitely recommend this place if you want Thai food. Also, they don't use MSG!

    I have never had Thai food before. My husband is always ranting and raving about it. We had been asking friends and looking at yelp to help us decide on my first Thai experience. Based on what we've heard, we picked here! I believe it was the manager, Ray, he greeted us right away and was super personable. Throughout our entire meal he was checking in with us. It was slow, but we try to do that on purpose. We hate when restaurants are crazy busy (by the time we left, it was filling up!) When our waiter, Dennis, came over, I explained I had never had Thai before and I asked what he would recommend for someone new to Thai. He asked me a few questions, what I liked and didn't like, if I had any allergies, and then off he went. We got spring rolls as an app and my husband got pearl of Thai land and I believe I got rad nar. It was delicious. My husband tore through his! He said it was awesome. I had a bit me of his and my mouth was on FIRE! The waiter noticed and brought me over some Thai tea. He was SOOO attentive!!! Our meals were good but to be honest, the service made the experience. I will defiantly be coming back and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to feel like that's matter and they aren't just another customer.

    Incredible! We came for lunch and we're happy to leave with a new "go to" spot for thai food. The food is amazing. Careful with the spice levels though...we asked for level three and it was perfect. The guy later told us he made it a 2;) I can't imagine what a 3 would be! Lunch special was very affordable. $8 for a meal which also included a salad and egg roll. Very prompt and courteous service. Ambiance is just right. Will DEFINITELY be back. Thanks thai chili!

  • Sara E.

    Numnumnum! Went here for lunch and for $7.95 you get a side salad, eggroll, and main dish. I had the chicken panang and it was fantastic. My husband had drunken noodles with chicken and it was only good, but it tasted a little too much like stir fry oil.

    (4)

  • D P.

    I was very impressed with the service here. The waiter came to the table, asked me a few questions (food allergies, preferred meat type, degree of spicy, noodles/rice/etc), he then told me not to worry about ordering, but that he would make me something. He then made 2 deliciously awesome dishes and they were perfect!!! Not sure exactly what we got but it was amazing! Very good food, top-notch service, will go back!

    It was a raining Saturday night and I was cold to the bone and wanted a warm bowl of curry to fill my tummy, I have driven by Thai Chili a few times and that night it was beckoning me to come on in, so I went! What a cute little place, love the feel of it. It's very clear that they do a lot of to go business, the call in orders & people coming and going were nonstop. Right off the bat I ordered some Thai tea, I love that stuff and it was perfectly sweet just the way I like it! Also ordered Sa-Te Chicken, it's really the peanut sauce I am after, that stuff is amazing, the chicken has always been a afterthought to me when I ordered that in the past at other places, but this time, the chicken was the main star, it was perfectly cooked and the seasoning, omg the flavor was amazing, almost shameful to put the peanut sauce on it. I was torn, I would bath in the peanut sauce if I could, but I didn't want anything to deter the flavor of the chicken, but in the end the peanut sauce happened. For the main dish I went with the Mussamun curry, I have to say out of all the curries, Mussamun is my favorite and it was what I craving on this cold night. It had great flavors, the chicken potatoes, carrots all perfectly cooked it was creamy orange and just heaven in the belly!! I also ordered it Thai Hot, whenever I got to a new place I just jump right to Thai Hot, the hotter the better for me, the waitress told me that's like habanero hot, and I told her to bring it!! When my dish arrived, you could visually see it was spicy, and after a few bites in my eyes were watering, SO SO GOOD!!! Then the waitress comes back to our table and tells me that their heat table goes to ten and that Thai Hot is around a 6,,,ooohhhhh oooommmmgggggg I need to try and 8 next time! Great little find, everyone was so very friendly, I enjoyed this place and look forward to coming back

    Great food and service. This place has a great atmosphere and we were lucky because it was a holiday weekend so we were able to get a table as soon as we got there. the waiter was awesome and he explained all the dishes and the heat level and it helped so much. I will be back!!

    Driving around looking for a place for lunch, found this by accident. It was packed! Only two tables left open. Quick warm welcome by staff, immediately had my drink and a delicious fresh, crisp salad with light dressing. I ordered chicken green curry and it was great! Very attentive wait staff! Fantastic lunch values! I'm glad this is so close to where I now work! I shall return

  • Dana B.

    The service was very prompt and friendly. The salad rolls were too big for my preference, causing the ingredient proportions to be off. The Tom Kha Gai soup had very good flavor but the chicken was rubbery. The cashew chicken was good but a bit too fishy. We would order different items if we came back.

    4.5 stars! Would have been 5 stars, except I wasn't thrilled with the Pad Thai, which is the quintessential Thai dish... But omg the Panang curry beef and the yellow curry chicken and the Thai fried rice were EPIC. EPIC. EPIC!!! (And there isn't much in the culinary universe better than fried rice, right?) Great Thai iced tea and iced coffee, too. Everything I've tried other than the Pad Thai is 5 star!

  • Sheena S.

    I've only ever gotten take our gere. The chicken pad thai has all elements that make a good pad thai, sweet spicy sour salty they are generous with amount of protein. Level 3 is as hot as srriacha. Best thai in town. Second place is thai elephant

  • Michelle P.

    Ordered food for pick up, food was okay. The one thing that peeved me was that the Pad Thai noodles had no sauce and they stuck together and molded to the container they came in. Not appetizing at all and not to mention hard to eat and SUPER dry. Yellow curry was decent. Got the "sa-te" combo skewers were dry and the "peanut" sauce had a weird jelly texture. Wasn't impressed. I do take in consideration that I order to-go and that something's are better served in the restaurant. So maybe it I'm in the mood for Thai food I might give it another try.

    For some time, we wanted to try Thai Chili. In January 2015 we were nearby and so glad that we finally got there. The food is really very good. Since this was out first time, we ordered everything on the mild side. Next time, there'll be more spice. The lunch salad was a nice way to start. I ordered Hot & Spice soup with mushrooms--lot of mushrooms & shrimp. My wife ordered Tom Yum Goong which she enjoyed. Then we had to order the dumplings---so glad we did! For my wife's main course she ordered Beef Panang while I had Shrimp Pad Thai---lots of shrimp as today was shrimp day for me! The complete lunch was very good and we will dine here again!

    You know those nights you can't be bothered to cook? Or put on makeup? Or blow out your hair? Or put on a bra? Or take off those Yoga pants that are comfortably plastered to your behind? This was me on a Saturday night after competing in a Track and Field meet in Coolidge earlier that day. And it seemed Andrew C. was on the same page after an extended day at work. "Why not Thai food?" I remember Monica O. and Cheryl B. had raved about Thai Chili, so I pulled up the menu. Turns out they do take-out! YES, LOW MAINTENANCE EVENING! We called and ordered the Mussamun Curry with chicken at Thai Hot level 8, and the Drunken Noodles with chicken at Thai Hot level 6. Made the trek out to Gilbert. Friendly cashier, and she gladly accepted the 5% off your order with a Yelp check-in. Seems like they do a lot of carry out here, but there was a nice dining area. This stuff smelled heavenly. Was practically drooling on the drive home. Got home, popped open a bottle of wine and our to-go containers. Holy smokes, this stuff was HOT. Like, open the containers and your eyes start running hot. The Mussaman Curry was my favorite of the two. Beautiful, rich, creamy orange color. Savory coconut milk, tender chicken, carrots and potatoes. The only weird thing was the potatoes seemed to have this funky taste, like they were freeze dried. While the Drunken Noodles were delish and a good balance of chicken and vegetables, the dish didn't seem to be very saucy. Dry, almost. Also, ironically, the Drunken Noodles which we ordered at a lower heat level than the Mussaman Curry were unbearably hot (at least for me)! Maybe they mixed them up? Either way, it was reasonably priced and a great discovery. I anticipate we'll be back again and again . . . Lazy night in or nice night out!

  • Wendy C.

    I am a frequent customer of Thai Chili and firmly believe in excellent customer service. I normally dine in, but lately have called in my orders, or shall I say, attempted to call in my orders. Each time I would call, someone would answer and immediately ask me if they could put me on hold. I tried ordering from them a few times that particular week. When I finally got thru and picked up my order, I mentioned the situation to Ray. He was not at all sympathetic. In fact, he made excuses and said its busy, try ordering online, gave me the speech of "you have to understand, we have 5 phone lines, yada yada yada". He did not once apologize for the situation. What happened to the customer is always right?

    This is my absolute favorite place for Thai food in the valley. The staff is courteous and prompt with orders, drink refills, and have a witty sense of humor!

  • Ashley M.

    I will preface this with saying I worked for a woman from Thailand in her restaurant where she served made to order (right down to chopping the veggies) thai food. I love Thai Chilli and we order from there a couple times a month. I've never ate inside as we get carry out or order delivery. Our favorites are sweet and sour and pad Thai. You can order different levels of spiciness for the dishes and different meat choices. It's not on the same level as the lady I used to work for but it's the best I've found since.

  • Mimi C.

    Little sweet for my taste, but if you like sweet and spicy Thai style this is a place for u :) I did love their chicken basil, but careful their spicy is spicy . I was crying haha. They have very good fried rice too, I had my kids a lil and I was impressed ! Love the service , fast , friendly but not over friendly . Efficient and perfect ! I just like my Thai food lil bit less sweet but that's just my preference . Food is very good here :)

    I love eating here. The servers are very considerate and customize all the dishes according to your taste! When i went with my friends, the server worked and tailored food for a company of six picky eaters! The food is simply delicious and in generous portions. Don't be decieved by the small sitting area, just walk in and have an amazing time. My only problem is that i get so full with the entree, there is no place for desserts!

  • Louder A.

    The most over the top Thai restaurant I've been to. That is both good and bad. The lunch salad was huge! The dressing was a tad too sweet for me. Not bad though. Next my thai tea came out in a huge glass. Score! When my Panang curry came out, I was excited, but tasted it and it was too salty. This coming from a salt-a-holic, that's not good. The chicken was a tad overcooked. Not the best experience. I might just go for the pad woon sen next round, if I come back. One more thing, the staff is really nice. That's always a plus and is why I'm considering coming back. :)

    (3)

  • Nate D.

    Food was made fresh and fast. I tried the pad thai and the The beef panang curry two of my favorite dishes. They do like to use their spice level though so be warned if you can't handle heat. I am glad I ordered a 3 out of 5 in the heat level which the server recommended to me I like heat, but not to overwhelm all of the other balanced flavors of a good Thai dish. At some Thai places I order a medium heat and you get no heat at all where as with this place it is more of a building heat which I enjoyed.

    Eaten here many many times this last time was our last straw. Continuously delivering poor service is our reason. The food is probably 2.5 stars but is very Americanized. It's too bad we don't have the good places by our house. But no I don't recommend this place.

  • Stephanie T.

    Thai Chili is a great, reliable neighborhood spot for good Thai food. Their rewards card is exceptional-- a free lunch for every four lunches purchased! Any other place takes 10 purchases for a free meal. Service is exceptional here too. The waitstaff is fast, nice and competent. The manager is ridiculously friendly. I'm kind of a b so I have hard time understanding how someone could be so pleasant all day long. I've been here enough to know what to focus on and what to avoid. Thankfully, the pad thai is great here, and I would get it every week if it was calorie-free. You can't go wrong with the curries either. I got the green curry tofu on my last visit, and it was so delicious. The lunch portion is very generous, and I was able to get two meals out of it. The spicy eggplant dish is another winner. I wouldn't get the drunken noodles again though. They weren't that flavorful, and they all stuck together.The sticky rice with mango had a similar problem; it all just globbed together. I've had better versions at other Thai places. All in all, this is one of your best options in the area if you want delicious food from a locally owned business. Avoid those chain restaurants at Dana Park!

    The food is amazing and everything is always made fresh to order at Thai chili. I have celiac disease and my boyfriend is lactose intolerant, but that doesn't matter here, everything is custom made to fit our needs and we never have to worry about allergens in our food. Their precautionary procedures are highly developed because they care immensely that what you eat does not make you sick. The staff is friendly and the owner/manager is outstanding! He remembered us after just one visit, but now he knows us for a different reason-we come back every week!

When we reached there was waiting for 15min at the end we felt happy about the wait. Orders veg spring roll, veg delight & veg fried rice service was quick and we enjoyed spicy hot food. I would definitely recommend this place and would visit again. So far I would rate this very good Thai restaurant in the market, try it by yourself and let us known your comments.

    I only venture out here for two reasons: to see my best friend and to go to my allergist. Otherwise, hell no. However I am now motivated by some killer Thai! I met a friend here for lunch and when I see little tiny places like this, I usually think positively. I was right. The lunch menu offers meals for $6.95 where you get a salad, eggroll and a large entrée. I opted for the Chicken Panang and my friend got the Red Curry. Both were outstanding. They ask you what level of heat you want from a scale of 1-5. Friend got a 4, I chickened out and got a 3. My heat level was perfect. Spicy but not kill ya spicy. Fast prompt service, authentic meals, and absolutely delicious. this makes schlepping out to Gilbert less painful!

I have loved all their food, I have eaten everything, my favorites are pad thai and panang, but there are many other good choices as well!

    Thai Chili is right behind my house so I've eaten here several times and tried most of the curries and found them all to be very good! Some of the combinations are a little odd (yellow curry beef?) but I think they're just trying to cater to a broad audience. I'm quite certain that they're using a store-bought paste but that's not a knock on them as many places do not make their own pastes. Very reasonable prices as well!

  • DAVID C.

    For a Thai restaurant, my wife and I felt that the quality was quite ordinary. There was nothing in the flavor profile that stood out as unique or distinguishing. It kind of reminded me of an unadulterated curry paste we get from Lee Lee's. The Thai Dumpling appetizer also tasted like store bought dumplings. For the entrees the pricing was quite reasonable. I wish I could say the same for the appetizers; they were overpriced.

  • Dan N.

    Our family has ordered from Thai Chili through Grub Hub for a significant length of time and I would rate this restaurant, before tonight , as the best Thai food in Gilbert. Tonight was a completely different experience. Not only was my order incomplete, but the spice level was incorrect. When I called Thai Chili to report their inconsistency a woman ( teenaged girl) answered the phone, snickered at my request to dispute my order, and then proceeded to hang up on me. This is not the Thai Chili I am familiar with. The manager did call me back, but my plight went unanswered. It is disappointing when a good restaurant turns bad. Grub hub was amazing with their response and I would recommend them to anyone. The next day the manager called again to resolve the issues which was an example of great management. I am revising my star rating

  • Julie G.

    Hands down the best Thai restaurant I've found so far in AZ. Lunch special is awesome- good variety of options, with a salad and spring roll for only $8. Tom Kha Gai (chicken coconut soup) was the best I've found, panang curry was rich and light at the same time with so much flavor. Food came out in minutes and service was extremely friendly. Will definitely be a regular spot.

    Really good food and they deliver. Manager is such a nice guy and the food is very good. My favorite dishes are the curry and tum ka coconut milk soup with shrimp. Be warned when they say spicy they mean it if you don't like hot make sure you say a 1 or 2.

    Awesome Red curry ... I loved it and it was spicy too. Came with white rice. I tried their mushroom soup it was loaded with mushrooms and extremely spicy but good. Can't wait to try more

    Ordered take out from here for the first time and decided to all split the dishes, including green chicken curry, beef panang, spicy eggplant chicken, tom kha soup, and mushroom soup. Every single item was delicious! They provided more than enough rice, as well as small containers of red pepper flakes and sauce for extra added "heat." We normally like moderately hot thai and noted that the reviews here recommended 2 or 3 at the most. We settled on the 2 which was a wise decision. We really enjoyed the food and will definitely be back!

    This is family food business in the best way possible. Service providers are genuine, real deal, normal people who interact with you like you're a human being - not a "customer". No pushy fake annoying Starbucks style "how's it going today?" ... "what I can I get for you?" ..."Have a great day!" repeat. Awesome, fresh food. Great prices. Clean restaurant. Find Dennis - he's good. Thank me later.

    Food is great here don't get me wrong . I don't want to come off as racy ... but I'm Asian myself and felt like while I was eating everyone around me was being helped over me. The Asian gal there seemed like she would not help me nor come to my table asking how everything was tasting like everyone else. Love the food but was pretty disappointed in the customer service area ....

    We love Thai Chili, and we've been fond of thai food for quite some time but rarely do we find a place we could eat at several times a week. We've been here for both dinner and lunch and are never disappointed. Delivery is also always excellent. Lunch specials are great and come with salad in the summer time and soup in the winter, both are excellent. The salad dressing is a homemade pineapple dressing that is so good we actually buy it by the bottle and use it at home. The staff is amazing and most of them know us by name and are never shy to stop and chat with us. Service is always excellent and we never want for anything. The atmosphere is great for dinner, low lighting and very romantic. The food here is unbelievable and unbelievably spicy! I read some other reviews for here that talk about the spice levels and they aren't kidding. I love that the chef makes all her own sauces and will never share the recipe making them wholly her own. This is family owned restaurant and its obvious by the quality. We've tried several dishes from here, some of our favorites are the Sa-te chicken, thai spring roll and combo appetizers are all awesome. Main dishes we love the green, yellow, and penang curries, all full flavored and the ingredients always fresh. Other favorites include the spicy eggplant, drunken noodles and the crispy chicken with spicy plum sauce are fantastic. Gotta get the homemade coconut ice cream with crushed peanuts for dessert too. Overall, service and food- amazing. Price- well worth what you get, we always take food home for seconds. If you aren't in the mood to dine in try their take out or delivery, you won't be disappointed- they never skimp on portions.

    Always great service and excellent food! I order Thai food often and unfortunately I'm not always in town to get Thai Chili and it is by far the best I've had. I get the beef and fried rice, number 3 spicy... and for dessert I get the fried bananas with coconut ice cream.

    I didn't want to rate this place because I didn't want anyone else to know about it! The food here is FANTASTIC. The wait staff are INCREDIBLE, extremely helpful, and funny, too! This is the best Thai food I've had in 20 years. The place is tucked back into a shopping center - I've passed by this place a hundred times and never knew it was there. It's absolutely worth looking for. We can't wait to eat there again! Be careful, however - they have some dishes that are HOT. Make sure you tell them how you want it.

    For the relatively small size of the restaurant, Thai Chili really goes above and beyond what you'd expect in terms of decor, cleanliness, customer service, and obviously food. After coming here probably a dozen times for both carry out and dine in, I can confidently say that they deliver consistent quality, and make you leave wanting more. It's always been busy on my visits, no matter the day, but the employees still take the time to make sure you understand the food, let you customize your meal if you wish, and even thank you for your business. Despite their volume of customers, I've even been called by my name when I've visited; really showcasing their dedication to their customers. I love that they offer online ordering and that the system even offers the ability to add and remove ingredients from any dish; woohoo! For most dishes you specify the spiciness from 1 to 5, and you usually choose whether you want chicken, beef, tofu, shrimp, etc. The possibilities for vegetables and proteins really make the dish your own, and combined with some of their scratch made sauces, this Thai food stands out among the dozens of Thai options in the Valley. If you're a fan of Thai noodles, I'd really recommend their signature Pad Thai. Not only is the portion enough to make two meals, but the piping hot dish is packed with the perfect amount of spice, letting the bite from the onions and the crunch and nuttiness from the cashews shine through. The meat has always been tender and juicy. Their homemade Thai sauce is killer, and when you get to the bottom of your plate, it's not soaking in grease like some other Thai restaurants. Don't stop there, all of their stir-fried entrees are worthy and their curries (try the massaman) are amazingly rich, creamy, spicy hot, and comforting. If you're in the area, go here, no question. Even if you're not in the area and are looking for Thai food, make the journey here. It's conveniently located and offers a huge selection at really reasonable prices.

    Amazing food, the kind of place that knows you by name ( certainly me, I eat their food every week, usually more than once!), and they aren't afraid to bring the heat. I go between Thai hot and a 4/5 ( I notice that it's hotter when I'm in person), and can't go wrong with the pad siew, pad thai, or any of the curries ( the panang is stellar). Oh, and they deliver!

    Fantastic lunch. Get there early as it fills up. Servers go above and beyond to be attentive even when busy. Lunch special includes a salad and an egg roll! Spicy level 1-5, ask for 2 on your first visit...Decor is pleasant and appropriate.

    Yum! Visited this place for the first time last week with a friend for an informal date. I had the green curry, spice level 2 with shrimp. My date had the fried rice with chicken, beef and shrimp. Both were tasty. We also ordered the fresh spring rolls, not my favorite, but my date seemed to enjoy. Cute, hole in the wall sort of restaurant with straight to the point food. The server was also very informative and willing to answer questions on the menu. Will visit again.

  • Miree J.

    We've been looking for a Thai place in Mesa, so since the reviews and rating for Thai Chili were quite good we decided to give it a try. We ordered the spring rolls, Woon Sen soup, Pad Thai and Pad Siew. Spring rolls were huge and very tasty. The soup was delicious. This soup was comparable to my favorite Thai restaurant's. The Pad Thai was tasty but a little dry and lacked some overall flavor. The Pad Siew was spicy, but it was also sweet. Good balance; only problem was lack of vegetables. There was just too much noodle to broccoli for me. We weren't overly impressed, but we might have found a decent Mesa Thai spot. We will have to go back again and see. One thing I'll tell you though, nothing beats Yupha's in Tempe.

  • Miki K.

    Wow! What a pleasant surprise! I stopped in on a late Sat afternoon between lunch and dinner to make a take-out order. I didn't realize this restaurant was in this location and had read recently about a Thai Chili opening in Queen Creek, closer to my SE Gilbert home and was thrilled to see Thai coming to Queen Creek--did some research on Thai Chili and saw the Baseline location. How could I have not known about this location??!! I thought I would try my standard Thai food to see how well Thai Chili's was. The staff person was extraordinarily helpful for which I'm grateful -- he made suggestions that I couldn't help but go with, and so didn't order my "usual": Thai Chili combo fried rice and Mus-Sa-Mun (some places it's spelled Masaman) Curry Chicken, and I wanted to try their SaTay Chicken. I am IMPRESSED! Thoughtfully well prepared, spices just right, chicken cooked just right, consistency just right, rice perfect! Oh, the peanut sauce -- yum. The MusSaMun curry chicken was so delectable I want it over and over again. I've been itching to go back -- but I don't want to appear to be a glutton . . .I'll wait. . . .until tonight.

  • Mike W.

    I really like the yellow curry chicken and the peanut sauce is good. The delivery is very fast. My only problem is that it is expensive....I'm not sure if I'd call it overpriced because all Thai places seem to charge to much these days but the price defiantly keeps me from eating here more.

  • Sarah G.

    Totally NOT worth the money! Microwaved chicken teriyaki.. Rubbery chewy yucky. Noodles were old and stuck together like they were left out over night. Worst experience ever with thai food. They should be ashamed of their lazy cheap ways.

    We had cashew chicken ($12), sweet & sour chicken ($12) one brown rice and one white rice and a cup of Tom kha gai soup costing a total of $35 before tip.

    Thai Chili is a hidden gem in Gilbert. I have been to Thailand a few times and love the food honestly this is the most authentic I have found in the US and haven't had a bad meal here. Some of my favorites are the crispy chicken with plum sauce and the sticky rice. Lets talk about the handmade coconut ice cream. Holy moley it is amazing. You cant not have a scoop made in house. When mango is in season the stickey rice with ice cream and mango, cant go wrong. Just try this place. You will just as in love as the rest f us.

    (5)

  • Margaret B.

    Am really bummed out at the last meal there. The service was great, as always, but did you get a new chef and kitchen staff? This was not the pad thai we know and love, and even the coconut ice cream was terrible- like crystal ice milk, and blah. please don't make us have to consider re-trying Papaya Thai, was a distant second to your food, but may now be pacing you.

  • Babydoll H.

    Originally, I would have rated them five stars because I thought their food was awesome. At the time, I was nine months pregnant (eight months ago). So, about three months ago I tried ordering for delivery, the guy answered the phone, said they were closing soon and to order quickly. I understood but didn't want bummed out food that was made in a hurry. So, I ordered Chinese instead from a restaurant near me. Now today, my husband and I were totally craving this place. We called to make an order for delivery and the guy said they were closing at 3pm and I can not order. ALSO, he said they no longer deliver or do carryout as well.. so I wouldn't have been able to order anyway. That knocked off two stars. A restaurant that closes early and is strictly dine in only. After that whole mess each time ordering, I will not be attempting to order from them again. I will not be coming back at all, so not worth the frustration. I ordered from Papaya Thai instead.

  • Robyn N.

    Love the food here! I think they have the best fried rice ever, and love that the vegetables and meat are large pieces and not chopped into teeny pieces. I almost always get the Mussaman Curry and it's some of the best I've ever had. My second favorite is the sizzling beef, although last time I had carry out the meat was tough and way overcooked. They handle special orders with no problem, although every addition costs $$. They used to run a spice scale of 1-10 with 5 being comparable to jalapenos, but have since changed it to a 1-5 scale with 3 being the old 5. My biggest complaint here is that twice now they've reversed the spiciness of the dishes ordered. Once when I ate in my curry had no spice and my friends had so much spice she couldn't eat it. Of course they fixed the problem for us right away. The second time it happened was a carry-out order and it was too much of a hassle to return for the correct items. Can't see why this should be so difficult to get right. They have a discount card of sorts, accumulate points based on dollars spent and then earn $10 off a purchase. I also recently received a 20% email for being in their "loyalty program for a year". I'll be back soon!

  • Amanda B.

    Had our first experience tonight- just ordered some chicken pad thai. We were asked on a scale of 1 to 5 our spicy preference. We went with a 3 and weren't disappointed- my husband likes more spicy and i like less, but this was perfect for both of us. The man on the phone and in person was more than friendly and he had our order promptly ready in 20 minutes. We will visit again soon! Than you!

  • Gena M.

    This place is fantastic. I've been to a few Thai places this is number two favorite behind a tiny joint in Silverton, Oregon. The curry, not runny, just a little thick like it should be! 4 of us for 4 different dishes and ranted and raved about all 4! Thumbs down to the wonton soup, but two thumbs up to everything else, including the prices. Good portions, you can request the level of heat of your spicy foods. What more could you want? We did have to wait longer than I would've liked for our food, but it was custom made to the heat and SO worth the wait. Five stars. Definitely try it. We are so glad we did. In fact my husband and I decided this is our new date spot every week until further notice. We want to try everything on the menu. Don't forget to try the coconut ice cream made in house!

    Their Tom Kha Gai with tofu is very good and the yellow curry w/ tofu (spice level 2) is super tasty. Plus, I loved the Thai ice tea. And despite being busy, the staff was able to provide prompt service w/ a smile.

  • A Is For Alexandra S.

    Made a dinner visit this time. The place was a lot Busier , so if you have a large party I suggest get there early or call ahead and See if they will take a reservation. It took longer for them to take our order and they werent as attentive I chose the pad Thai again and it was very good , and To my surprise my husband picked the duck. That of course took a little extra time to cook. I managed to get a bite or two of his duck and It was very good. I remember the last time I had duck and it was much More greasy and fatty so Thai Chili did it right! As you know, yelp offers deals periodically and there happened to be one For Thai Chili that night. It was only for $5 dollars off but hey every penny Counts these days. The place also has a rewards program. The staff told me I don't get ANY rewards with any kind of coupons. I thought um?!?! It's not like a groupon where you pay $20, get $20 free..... It was only $5 bucks. And there was no verbage on the yelp deal re: reward points, I mean I still spent money right?!?! So here's the Math: 26.00 total bill minus $5 yelp coupon = $21.00 spent and ZERO Rewards. I'm just saying

    LOVE this place, we struggled to find non chain restaurants in Gilbert and were very pleased to find this gem. Their panang curry is outstanding, tom kha gai could be my favorite soup ever. and don't forget to save room for the custard and sticky rice!

    (5)

  • Dani C.

    Wow- I'm pretty selective with a 5 star, so you know I mean it. This place was amazing. Pad Thai, Curry Salmon, a couple of tofu dishes that I can't remember now- but all SO GOOD. So much flavor in these dishes I even enjoyed the tofu, and I'm a carnivore who tends to avoid spongy substances. The flavor was that good! I'm even giving this 5 stars with the slow service- it was THAT GOOD. We literally took the last two tables, and we were split up. However, they do take reservations, so live and learn. Call first. I can't wait to go here again, or even get take out. So. Good.

  • Sarah N.

    Thai Chili is located in a dying shopping center, and is frequently the only reason I will enter it. Their lunch deals are the best. $6.95 for every item and it includes salad and a small egg roll. The dinner menu has a huge seleciton and prices include choice of chicken, pork or beef. You can add shrip for $3.00. Nearly every time I go in I have a coupon. They sometimes have a deal on Living social or I go to another coupon site when I can buy them for 80% off. Thai Chili offers delivery and take out services. Please note that coupons are not allowed for either of these. You have to eat in restaurant to be able to utilize a coupon. The servers are nice, and I would rate all of their servers as either fair or good. Only once or twice have I thought service was excellent, hence the 4 of 5 stars. There is an Asian female server who speaks with a very understandable accent. She takes care of you, but can be a little abbrasive, so if you get her you were warned. You have a choice as to how spicey you would like your dish. 1-10, with 5 apparently being a jalapeno. I always order a 1, my boyfriend likes a 3. They usually don't take too long to cook your food. Also, don't bother asking to talk to a manager because they won't let you, unless you know the managers name.

    Somewhere between authentic Thai and cheap take-out Chinese exists the entity that is Thai Chili. This is a very middle-of-the-road Asian food establishment that seems to suffer from an ongoing identity crisis. While the food is edible and certainly Thai-influenced, it's no where near good enough to warrant a second visit! Stopped in with a co-worker on the recommendation of several online reviewers... Lunch time portions were perfect for the price and the quality of ingredients was certainly good. Though reasonably busy, seating was prompt and the food came quickly. However, the TASTE of the food left much to be desired! We tried both the "Hot and Sour" and the "Egg Drop" soups to start. Anyone familiar with Thai food will note that these are soups more commonly found as counterparts to cheap "take-out" style Chinese food. Well, the Hot and Sour soup consisted of a dark broth with red pepper flakes floating around for spice. It tasted strongly of lemon juice and vinegar and, though I tried to sip down 3 spoonfulls, my coworker and I both decided it wasn't worth eating. I've had some bad "Hot and Sour" soup, but this was among the worst! Meanwhile, the Egg Drop soup, though easier to swallow, had an odd smokey flavor to the broth that really didn't taste good with the egg and other ingredients. Still, we were able to work through it, unlike the Hot and Sour before it. Then, the entrees came...complete with egg rolls and sweet and sour sauce for dipping. Once again, I had to glance at the sign on the wall to make sure I was still in a THAI establishment, as this also seemed eerily like fast-food Chinese in nature. Luckily, the eggrolls were flaky, tasty and small enough that they didn't steal attention away from the entrees themselves. Digging into the main courses, we found the yellow curry to be completely overloaded with large slices of red and green bell peppers. There were easily more bell peppers than there were a sum of all the other ingredients combined! Unfortunately, the strong presence of the bell peppers, especially the red ones, took over the taste of the dish entirely and made it far less enjoyable than either of us had hoped for. The Pad Thai we ordered was also a mild disappointment. Once again, while made of quality ingredients and looking appropriate on the plate with scallions, sprouts and crushed peanuts, it turned out to be very sweet...too much so. The mid-level spice didn't help, either. It was edible, but, coming from a guy who has eaten Pad Thai more than a thousand times in both the U.S. and South Asia, I can say that it was far from normally sweet. Still, we managed to finish and our wallets weren't complaining too badly when we left. Will we or our wallets return? Unlikely. Thai House at Southern Ave. and Power Rd. is a 5-minute drive down the US-60 from Thai Chili and well worth the extra time and gas if good quality Thai is what you crave.

    Thai chilli is definetly the best Thai Restaurant in the valley. We have tried varies thai locations and the food is top notch like no other. I love the choices of the hottness ob ur dish from 1-10. The BBQ chicken is the best n definetly a large portion

    I visited Thai Chili and had the option of picking my own table, which is always awesome in my opinion. The menu is full of traditional Thai dishes and some other Asian fusion dishes. There are some great options for vegetarians as well. I was pleased with my customer service experience and I will be back again. And the plum wine is delicious.

    During our monthly mani-pedis at Nail EnV (the best, by the way), my aunt and I were discussing where we should go for dinner. As we frequent this nail shop quite often, the manicurists tend to chime in on our conversations, something we don't mind because we've gotten to know them quite well over time. We were discussing Thai food and searching Yelp for a place that seemed worth trying when one of the guys says, "Why don't you go where Karen's husband works?" Apparently, Karen, one of our manicurists' husband works as a cook at Thai Chili. Sounds good to us, so we finished up with lovely nails and headed out. All the reviews said beware of the spice factor, so we were careful when we ordered our soup. Turns out, we needn't be cautious. I like spicy and a 5 was spicy, but still tolerable. I probably could have gone higher, but I wanted to make sure I'd still taste my food. Not being all that familiar with Thai food, outside of Pad Thai, I wasn't sure what to order. Lucky for me, my aunt knows her way around the menu. She got something in a green curry that had coconut milk and I don't know what else, but it was really good. I wasn't sure what to expect when I tasted hers, but I was in. I ordered something that I can't remember the name of, but it was pork in peanut sauce with vegetables. It was wonderful and I can't wait to try this place again! I wish we had room to try some of the desserts, but we were well on our way to stuffed when we left. I can't wait to take my boyfriend in for a taste of this place!

    What a great find! Everything I get here is great! It's spicier than other Thai places...so get the spicy level a few notches down. I can handle spicy...but a 5 was insane. Get a 3 to be safe. There is a waitress here that is wonderful and I wish I had her name. Helpful and very funny! This is in a strip mall and looks like nothing from the outside...but please check it out! They play great 80's music and do serve wine and beer. It's worth checkin out!

    What's you number? On the heat scale! This place tailors the dish to your preference so wether you like to breath fire (level 9, like me) or you think water is pushing the edge on the spicy scale you'll find what you like. The yellow curry is my regular dish, the lunch special comes with a nice little side salad, egg-drop soup and a delicious little egg-roll. For dessert give the coconut ice cream or mangoes with sweet sticky rice a try.

  • Dace J.

    I'm not sure how much good Thai food is to be found in Arizona, but this place definitely hit the spot. Appetizers were good, but the Massaman Curry (my benchmark of Thai cuisine) was fantastic! Potatoes and veggies done just right, rice cooked perfectly, and the curry itself creamy and luscious, bursting with flavor. The fact that you can designate on a scale of 1 to 10 how hot you want your dish to be was a nice touch, and addressed my grandmother's reservations (this was her first time trying Thai cuisine). They were really busy, so I think it's perfectly acceptable that the service was just a tad slow, but the waiter was extremely pleasant and helpful. The decor was ok, but I'd love to see the walls as vibrant as the flavors... don't be shy guys, your food is great- go for it! Make it real! Bonus points for carrying my fave Thai beer, Chang!

    Out of all places I've eaten curry, this is the BEST yet! Thai Chili has a clean, welcoming, and simple but warm atmosphere and their service is great. Friendly, patience, quick and caring. I had the green curry with chicken, lightly spiced (#3, which gently cleared up my stuffy passage ways. I'm still working up the spice ladder). This was one of a handful of tasty-sounding items on their lunch special menu (I look forward to trying all their items .. in time, of course ^_^*). My meal only cost $7 and came with one spring roll, sauce, and your choice of egg drop soup or hot sour soup. For the amount and the quality of the meal, I feel like I ate for free! It's your turn, now go!

    This is one of our favorite restaurants in Gilbert. I love the curries, especially the green curry. My wife raves about the Pad Siew and Pad Thai. I recently discovered Thai Sizzling Beef and might have found a new favorite. Everything I've tried is wonderful. The people there are very nice and helpful and remember my name since I've become a relatively regular visitor. Warning - I like pretty hot food and ordering a heat of about 3 is enough for me. At times a 3 is a little mild and at times it is a little bit of a challenge. I think this is testament to the fresh ingredients (sometimes chilis are hotter and sometimes milder). LOVE this place!

    (5)

  • Mia D.

    Favorite place ever! My boyfriend and I eat here at least once a week. It always hits the spot. My faves are the Pad Siew, Shrimp and Scallops in Peanut Sauce and Beef Panang (I get it with Chicken). The boyfriend loves Pad Prig Pow, Ginger Delight and Spicy Eggplant. They are right on. I'm a wimp, so I don't add spice a spice level. Every once in awhile I try new dishes and they are always good. He gets a 2 or 3 and with that I can't drink enough water to handle it. Great staff, amazing chef, nice decor, great food to eat in or carry out. It's always hard to find a great place with all the options, when we started going to Thai Chili, we do not get Thai food anywhere else.

    This review is solely for Thai Chili's delivery. We placed an order for delivery over the phone tonight. The person who answered was very polite and specific, she double checked our order and quoted 30 minutes. The order arrived, correctly, in 27 minutes. I had the Larb salad with chicken with a spice of 7 - it was perfect! The pungent flavor combo of cilantro, lemongrass, and red chili with moist chicken packed just enough spice to make my nose hot - exactly what I wanted. It came with rice and cabbage leaves. I wish it had come with lettuce leaves actually because it would've been even more fantastic as a lettuce-wrap style dish. The raw cabbage was stiff and harder to use for a wrap. My mom had the Nuah-yang which she said she really enjoyed (spice of 3). I thought it should have come sliced instead of one big piece of beef but the flavor was good. It came with sticky rice which I thought was so-so but I'm not a fan of sticky rice in general. We also ordered the Thai dumplings which I thought were fine, but the sauce was too thick and sweet for my taste. Overall, I would definitely order from Thai Chili again and my dish was so good I could see myself having it for lunch once or twice a week, every week.

    I fell in love with this place the first time I went there. I ended up getting the Gang ka ree and was impressed that I got to choose the spiciness of the dish (since I can be kind of a wuss with spicy food). I have had fresh Thai food made by some Thai friends when I lived in Australia, and this was very comparable. We took a seat in the restaurant and were barely able to find an open seat. The place was packed. The restaurant's atmosphere wasn't spectacular, however, it's better than some places that also do delivery/takeout. It was worth the wait though. In the future, I plan on ordering take out & I hope they deliver to my house.

    We didn't have to ask for the lunch salad, and the service was really good despite it being crazy busy for a Monday at 1:30pm where they were clearly not expecting a late lunch rush. Pad thai was pretty decent, we've had worse and we've had better, though I wasn't crazy for the crispy chicken and plum sauce. It wasn't bad, though! I don't know that there was anything wrong with it, I was just trying something new and decided it wasn't my fave. I'll try a curry or the panang next time based on reviews, because our experience was good enough to come back for sure. Oh, the Thai Iced Coffee was the best I've had!

  • Alison D.

    This place is awesome. I get the Chicken Panang and it is sooooo yummy. Their spice scale is 1-10. I order as a 5 for spice. I could probably go a little higher on that, but it is delicious. I love the pineapple dressing on the starter salad. This little restaurant is CLEAN, friendly, GREAT VALUE, and EXCELLENT food. Enjoy!

    Ate here again last nite. at 5pm. What can I say. I ordered mushroom soup and vegetable curry. mushroom soup was ok, I liked the broth, however I was disappointed that the only mushrooms in the soup were button mushrooms (the same kind you find at every grocery store, the least expensive ones) I would have thought for $4 for an on the small side bowl of soup they would have used different mushrooms perhaps chanterells, shitaki, or morels or another exotic type of mushroom. The broth was tastey for me anyway could have been more spicy or sour but over all it was fine. My vegetable curry was fine I asked for 41/2 on the spice scale and it really wasent hot or spicy The curry sauce it self was fine. 2nd was they really don't give you a lot of vegetables a few zucchini, a few broccoli florets, and the remainder was sliced(tinned) bamboo shots, onions, and baby corn. and for $10 and vegetables are not expensive. I was expecting more.... They do give you a descent portion of brown rice and they should they charge $2 for it. I would come back the food tastes good and they are very accommodating to vegetarians and vegans and they will ask the chef if they can make what ever it is you might order without MSG. and if they cannot the server will let you know so you can choose if you want it of if you want to change to some thing they can make without MSG. And that is extremely important to me. Again The server was a middle aged Asian gentleman and he was very friendly and attentive. could not have asked for better service. this time and my prior visit the servers were both exceedingly helpful and attentive. just great.

    Great little place. I wasn't not expecting anything this good given its location. The dumplings were amazing. They almost had this slightly smoky overtone to them - just delicious. The spring rolls were large and very fresh. My husband had the Pad Thai and felt it was one of the best he's ever had. I had the Drunken Noodle which was excellent. The service was great. In fact, when we told our server (maybe the manager?) how happy we were, he took the appetizers off our bill. Will definitely go back again.

  • Mohammad N.

    I think they named this place after how cold it gets in the restaurant. It was a cool 60 degrees to make you shiver while you eat your thai food. Here's the thing, the location of Thai Chili isn't the best. It's next to a karate class, subway, and a taco bell...so definitely not a place for a first date or a nice night out. It's a place for thai food and that's pretty much it. With that being said, the location and quality of food did not dictate the high prices on the menu. Two entrees + 1 appetizer (two spring rolls) = $30+ dollars is a little excessive for Thai Food. Maybe if this place was in Scottsdale, I could understand, but for a shacky place in Gilbert, not so much. Spring rolls were decent, they lacked the wow factor...and there was only 2 given. I had to double check to make sure I didn't order off the kids menu. Pad thai with beef was good, but seriously, it's really not that hard to mess up pad thai. All pad thai makes me go to the bathroom, this pad thai was no different. When I try pad thai that doesn't do that, I'll give that place 5 stars and a trophy. All in all, I won't be going back. The service was good, the restaurant was clean, but I didn't like the location or the high cost for average food. Thank you groupon for saving me 50% on a mediocre restaurant.

    I purchased the LivingSocial deal back in June and finally went last week with a girlfriend who also enjoys Thai food. My friend ordered the Spicy Basil with chicken with a heat level of 5. The waitress said that the heat level 5 was on par with the heat of a jalapeno. I feel it is safe to say that my friend would disagree with that statement since she normally eats things hotter than a jalapeno and she was sniffling by halfway through the meal. She said it was good, but she would stick with her usual Pad Thai next time. I picked the Crispy Chicken with Spicy Plum Sauce with a heat level of 2 (My middle name might as well be "Wimp"). The vegetables under the chicken had some light sauce that was deliciously light and tasty. The plum sauce was fantastic! The chicken was very tasty, but would have been a lot better if it had been grilled or cooked pretty much any way other than fried. The fried taste battles too strongly with the tasty plum sauce. Still very good, though! For dessert, we both got the handmade Coconut Ice Cream. It was wonderfully tasty, but not really worth $4 since you only get one smallish scoop. The service was very good although it was a little odd that my dinner came out five minutes before my friend's dinner. I'm looking forward to a return visit to check out what else is good on their menu.

    I went here for lunch yesterday and it was fairly good. The ambiance is non existent in this restaurant, so don't expect anything fancy. I went with a couple of friends and we each got something different, I got drunken noodles, one friend got pad see u, and another got pad thai. I got mine at a level 5 spicy and it was spicy! That part was good. I just thought it was a little dry... could have used a bit more sauce. The flavor was good. It also came with a fairly good salad and an alright spring roll. I gave this place 3 stars because, although it was fine, it was nothing special and there are many thai restaurants in phoenix that are better.

    Thoroughly enjoyed date night with the wife here. Had the Yellow Curry w/ Chicken & my wife had the Spicy Calamari. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that our food took awhile. However, when it came, it was absolutely delicious!

  • Angela L.

    I came here on my friend's recommendation. I'm not a big curry fan, but perhaps the curry is amazing like she said. First off, when we walked in, the owner and waiter were talking to each other. My boyfriend and I weren't sure if we should wait to be seated or just walk to any table. After standing for a few minutes, the waiter told us to have a seat anywhere without leaving behind the counter. We sat down, and the two continued their conversation. I had to look back 4 - 5 times before the waiter came and brought us menus. When we decided what to order, he didn't come back until I looked back another 4 - 5 times. By the way, there was only one other table occupied that was deciding what they wanted for dessert. I can't say anything bad about the waiter because he was overall nice, but not attentive at all. We never got water refills. I always order Pad Thai, and wasn't wowed by it here. First, they charge for adding tofu. I got a chicken and tofu mix - and although I paid for tofu, there wasn't much tofu added. I always get mild flavored Pad Thai, and I feel that really allows you to taste the food. If there's still a lot of flavor without the spiciness, then you know the natural dish is well made and not masked by the spices. The portion was alright - but not enough peanuts nor bean sprouts. The dish itself was way too sweet for my taste. My boyfriend ordered the sizzling beef dish. I was able to finish my entire dish before his entree came out. The waiter didn't tell us that it was going to take that long. It came on a clay dish and sizzled a lot, but for the price, it wasn't worth it at all. The beef was pretty typical. It tasted kind of like black pepper chicken at Panda Express - but beef instead of chicken. FYI: my Pad Thai came out after a very long time as well. From walking in to walking out, I think it took us an entire hour for this meal. Don't go here if you're in a rush, and don't order the Pad Thai nor Sizzling Beef Dish.

    We have been searching for good Thai food in Mesa and finally we found it! The curry is amazing and the beef is amazing! We tried a dish with delicious peanut sauce over beef and vegetables and now I can't stop thinking about it. This place will definitely become our regular spot. We can't wait to try more on the menu!

    I'm a big Thai food fan and am pretty picky when it comes to Thai restaurants. When I saw that Thai Chili was so close to me after I moved to the area, I was excited to try it. When I finally did, I realized I hadn't tasted Thai food this delicious since I lived in Boston several years ago. The staff is always friendly and the space is small and intimate so it'll never get too loud. On top of all that, every dish is delicious. Some restaurants may drown their entrees in sauces or the like but these guys definitely let the flavors do their jobs. Thai Chili is always on my mind when going out to eat or taking out.

  • Larry S.

    This place was our first time trying Thai food. The waiter was very helpful however when we ordered our food he was very confident that we didn't realize how hot the food actually was or should I say "was suppose to be". He asked us on a scale of 1 to 5 how hot did we want it. Both my girlfriend and I said 4. He assured us that that was going to be to hot. He asked if we like jalapenos and my girlfriend said, "We use Ghost Peppers in our cooking at home." He assured us that a 3 was going to be plenty hot.....not the case. We went there for lunch and the small place was packed. We actually had to wait about 10 minutes. For lunch we had the Crispy Chicken with the spicy plum sauce and the Chicken Red Curry. First the curry. It was very good. The chicken was tender and it had a very rich flavor. The Crispy Chicken was a big disappointment. All it consisted of was 3 or 4 chicken planks breaded and deep fried on a bed of sautéed veggies. The sauce came in a little bowl that had dried hot peppers sprinkled on top of it, not much thought into making this dish hot. Anyway, I would like to go back, but for dinner.

  • Cheyenne R.

    I heard that Thai Chili was good but I never got around to trying it until this week. And I gotta say they were right! I love the fact that you can order it as spicy as you want (or as mild as you want for you whimps) and that they had a few vegetarian options, not just 1. I will be back.... I may even become a regular!

    This place is super tasty. A good find. Their spicy level is a little hotter than I am used to. I went with a 4 and almost burned my lips off. Super delicious pad thai with shrimp and the green curry is awesome. I would definitely go back

    Ok, so after several years as a yelper this is just my second review. I lack the time to comment on hardly any of the places I visit. (plus I hardly stray away from my norms) Thai Chili is the best meal that I can honestly remember having. Perhaps a bit of it had to do with the beautiful woman sitting across from me but I had such an amazing dinner. Sat quickly, food was brought out amazingly fast, service was awesome, great ambiance, and the food.... Wow! Drunken noodles @ a level 5 was perfect. Wifey had the mango curry @ level 2 and it was also great. (not as good as mine though ;)) Owners were more than willing to chat and really get what customer service is all about. Oh yeah, and the homemade coconut ice cream....crazy good.

    Good food at good prices. My wife went in and had Pad Thai and Crispy Chicken with Spicy Plum Sauce and each were about $10 for a decent portion. They were both good, but not great. The service was okay, but not great. The atmosphere in the room was a little cold. Someone needs to make the place a little more comfortable. All in all, everything was good, but I've had better food for a better price. You will enjoy your meal, but I don't think you'll be overly impressed.

  • Brian B.

    Best Thai food I've had in years. Excellent, fast service, nice intimate atmosphere, and outstanding food. Big menu with lots of variety and very authentic Thai cuisine. Big portions too! I had the Pad Thai at level 6 spiciness - only the bravest should go further! - and was impressed by this standard. Noddles were perfect consistency, the chicken was tender, and the flavors more complex and enjoyable than I recall ever tasting in this dish elsewhere. HIGHLY recommended!

  • Michael W.

    Thai Chili was a bit of a disappointment for us... It seems like we might have had an isolated incident given the positive reviews others have given it. The drunken noodles seemed tasteless, and the spiciness was all over the place, (mine was supposed to be the spiciest, but wasn't spicy at all). The BBQ Chicken was great, just hard to eat. The service lacked a little bit, one waiter for all the tables doesn't seem sufficient... but at least there was a cute hostess ;-)

  • Amy Z.

    Very nice atmosphere and decor. All tables and no booths, in case you were wondering, and in case you are a "booth" person. We sat right in front of the cash register, and the downside to that was people picking up take out orders kept bumping my chair, but it wasn't a make it or break it event. The staff was very pleasant and my drink didn't sit empty for more than 2 minutes, TOPS. (That is a BIG deal for me, especially with spicy Thai food) I ordered green curry at a 10 (level of spice) and it was just right!!! The vegetables were cooked perfectly, and it had a smooth texture. The portions were very large as well. Enough for lunch the next day for sure. We also ordered spring rolls, and they were delicious. Had a sweet taste to them, but were fresh and crisp. I would come here again for sure. They're green curry (on a scale of 1-10) is about an 8.5 or a 9.

  • Athen F.

    This is absolutely one of my favorite restaurants period. But also is definitely my favorite Thai restaurant and I LOVE Thai and have tried many different places. I crave their Red Curry or Pineapple Curry - TO DIE FOR! I usually get a level 4 or 5 spice and it's quite heated. Also the Thai fresh rolls and Pad Thai are great picks. You've gotta try this if you love Thai, spicy food and unique flavors. Prices are very reasonable also.

  • Mandy L.

    Went there with a half price groupon. Every thing was nummmmmy! The service was a bit off. They were very friendly just a bit akward. They got slammed with groupon guests all at the same time right after we were seated. I had a specialty the chicken and steak in lemon garlic sauce heat rating of five. It was good not hot enough for my taste but I was too afraid to order higher at a new place. Five is full of flavor and a little heat on the end. My chef boyfriend tryed my sauce and said it was from a jar. He said he has it in his kitchen. a little disapointed if that is true since it was called a speacality of the house. But it was very good and I was completly satisfied. I would definatly go back without question.

  • Jules H.

    The best Thai food! Nice decor, and we had great service. Water glasses were always refilled promptly, and our waiter was attentive without being obtrusive. Food: pad thai - good, but texturally the noodles were a smidge overcooked, and therefore clumpy. beef salad - very, very flavorful. we ordered this one spicy, and I had to stop eating it because my eyes started watering! They aren't kidding around with the heat level here :) curry - fantastically rich with nicely cooked vegetables + chicken. The SO isn't the biggest fan of Thai food, but we'll be back when he's in the mood for something spicy!

  • Tara A.

    I am so dissapointed! It started off good. I ordered 3 dishes from the menu they dropped off at my house ~2 months ago and the food was delivered in 20 minutes instead of the 45. I'm thinking 'OK, awesome', super fast delivery, the food is packaged in these neat snap-top plastic containers, everything is looking good! The portions were on the small side, but that is not unusual for delivery. However, there were a few big problems. The first was that the delivery guy was super rude, just grunted at me and shoved a receipt in my direction. The biggest problem was that the food was not good. Then to top it off, the menu prices had all increased by at least 2 dollars in the last 2 months. I understand menu prices change, but 40$ for 3 dishes of Panda Express quality food.... Definitely will not eat here again. Tofu Lovers- 3/10 -Most of the tofu was overcooked, the rest was UNDER cooked (how did they accomplish this???). The sauce was bland. Silver Noodles- 5/10 -Noodles were over-cooked so they stuck together in a huge, dry clump. There were not enough vegetable for my liking. 5 or 6 broccoli florets and a handful of bean sprouts. The flavor was decent it was pleasantly spicy. Drunken Noodles w. Shrimp- 7/10 -Shrimp was clean and cooked well and the sauce was flavorful.

    Small, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff. Waited about 30 min. on a Saturday night for two. Ordered..... tom yum Gai (hot & Sour Soup) $3.50 Thai hot & sour soup with chicken, mushrooms, lemongrass, galangal and kaffir lime - LIKED THE SOUP! Ordered the; Sa-te chicken $6.95 Tender dark meat chicken marinated in Thai spice, barbecued and served with cucumber sauce and peanut sauce, - I LIKED THIS APPETIZER JUST NEEDED SOME MORE HEAT. muS-Sa-mun curry $8.95 An exquisite dish demonstrating Indian influence in Thai cuisine. A wonderful mix of chicken, potatoes, carrots, onion and bell peppers in a spicy curry blend - THOUGHT IT HAD OK FLAVOR. pad priG pao $8.95 Onion and Jalapenos stir- fried in our homemade chili sauce - I WAS HYPED FOR THIS DISH, BUT THE DISH JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE HEAT AND FLAVOR I EXPECTED. I will give this place another try. After talking to one of the owners they have Dry Garlic Chicken!

    I lived in Thailand for several years so I am spoiled and have high standards for authenticity. This place does it right. Even their determination of level of spiciness is fine tuned. Because they use fresh chilis rather than overloading the food with the dried chilis--big difference. Service is great and it has remained great since I first went there 2 years ago.

    This restaurant is a great value and has good service. My wife and I came here for lunch and we both got full for $15 and some change before leaving a tip. We both got lunch specials that started off with egg drop soup. The egg drop soup had peas and carrots and corn in it, which is different but still did nothing for me. For our entrees I got a red curry chicken dish and my wife got an eggplant dish with tofu that she read good things about. When you order they have you rate how spicy you want your food on a scale of 1 to 10. We both requested a level 6 out of 10 spiciness. The dishes came in a short amount of time with one small egg roll each, some sweet and sour sauce on the side, and some white rice. The egg rolls were ok. So far I wasn't impressed but then I tasted the entree and was pleased. My red curry had great curry and coconut flavor to it with just the right amount of spice. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. The chicken was just a little dry but it was all white meat so that is probably why. My wife's eggplant and tofu dish was great too. The tofu was not deep fried (which I like) and it had just the right texture and firmness to it. Normally i don't like tofu but this was good. The sauce was very tasty and different. The eggplant was very well done. It is easy to screw up eggplant but this was just right. It wasn't bitter like eggplant can be sometimes and it wasn't too soft or mushy. The vegetables in this dish were equally as good as the ones in my dish. My wife's dish seemed hotter than mine but that is probably because of the coconut milk in my dish masking the heat. I would probably back off to a number 5 or even 4 spiciness on dishes without coconut milk in the future. When we paid our tiny bill we learned about their rewards program where your fifth entree is free! This is great. This is the first sit down restaurant with waiter service that I have heard of that has a reward card. It is a great value and we are already half way to a free entree! Sign me up for that!

    Now, I hardly ever get down to the far southeast valley but found myself starving after a client visit. It's a rainy day so some nice Thai would go down really nicely I thought. I scoped the 'people love us on Yelp' sticker on the window and I was in!! It was busy, nearly every table was occupied but I managed to work my way into a small table with a wave from the waiter that he'd provide a menu shortly. While waiting I saw a man and woman who appeared to be the owners (??) more Indo than Chine, but studiously going over the operations of the restaurant. And I waited. And waited. Major star deduction. Their lunch specials are seven bucks so I chose my fave Pad C U with chicken and medium heat. Heat was perfect, but other than that the dish fell short. This was rather salty, and coming from me that's really saying something. I felt it really lacked the complexity that I've experienced elsewhere.

  • S W.

    Considering that I find a lot of the restaurants in the Gilbert area on the bland side, I am delighted with the quality of food at Thai Chili! Their dishes are always freshly prepared, very flavorful, with friendly and attentive staff. I have been going there since they have opened and their food and service is consistently great. The roast duck is always wonderful, never gamey tasting or greasy with crisp skin. Pricing is reasonable, too.

    Thai Chili is our favorite Thai place in the East Valley. Their food is amazing and their prices are very reasonable. We've gone for both lunch and dinner and have been very happy.

    A solid four. No need to worry it's anything less. I'm impressed we have a place like this in the Val Vista Lakes area. Clean, modern, clean, good service, clean, good pad thai and clean. You always worry about that in a mom and pop. Very good lunch special. Spice scale is 1-10. I got a 3 and it was just enough for me. My sister got an 8 and was blown away and she likes spicey. Just a heads up.

  • Leslie Y.

    Love this place!!! Generous portions for great prices. When this place first opened they had white table cloths and candles and waiters with ties. The service was a little "awkward" but that is to be expected with any new restaurant opening (especially a non-corporate establishment). However, the food was amazing! Not "white table cloth this food is too pretty to eat "amazing but great development of flavor and spice. Best part about it is that you get to pick your level of spiciness. I like hot so I went with a 7 out of 10 and it was perfect. Now, the white tablecloths are gone and they aren't over thinking their whole concept. More focus on the food and less on the formality of the service. All I can say is that if you have tried it before and had a so so experience, go back and give it one more try. They have something for everyone from combo fried rice ( my husbands favorite) to pad Thai to vegetarian dishes. The pineapple chicken curry is my personal first choice but I am making my self branch out next time.

    Thai Chili is pretty good. Think of a #10 spicy. I actually tried a 7/10 and started dying because I couldn't tolerate it. I underestimated the heat. This place is also very accommodating for big parties. It's well renovated and the prices are fair. Probably better than all the other Thai places in Mesa

    Tried this restaurant per living social app and was surprisingly pleased by the food that they serve. The taste was splendid, original Thai food that really rare to find in the valley. Their Thai ice tea was perfect! Crispy tofu with peanut Thai sauce as appetizer was melting in my mouth! And my favorite Pad See Ew with beef was taste so good that I'm craving for more. They also were very generous in their portion. Overall I'm pretty sure I'll be back in this place for more Pad See Ew!

    As a self-proclaimed Thai food snob, I have to say this place rocks and Gilbert has needed a great Thai place for a long time. Thai Chili has a nice low-key atmosphere, great service and excellent, tasty food. We started with the Tom Kai Gai soup which was flavorful, slightly sweet and rich. It was the perfect blend of flavors and everything Tom Kai Gai should be. My husband and I shared the drunken noodles with chicken (be warned, it's pretty darn spicy) and the Massaman Curry - a rich blend of curry with coconut, potato, chicken and the right amount of heat. The cocount ice cream with sticky rice topped off our evening. Everything was delicious and I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

    Both myself and my family love this place. The two times we have gone were for special occasions (birthdays). It's really hard for us to try out a new place for something as important as a birthday, but the first time we came it was amazing. Not only was my vegetarian and highly picky mother able to find something that she A) Loved and B) Had never had before, but the service was really excellent . The atmosphere is great, their dishes are so good, better than any of the Thai food restaurants I've had in the Valley (which is saying something because I have eaten at a lot of Thai places around here). I would highly recommend the Larb Tofu (the dish my Mom loves), and the Yellow Curry. Sooo good!

    Thai Chili in Gilbert, AZ Cares about allergies, including Gluten. Their food is absolutely Delicious! They do not up charge for GLUTEN FREE! They will work hard to customize whatever you desire in order to take special precautions with allergies!!!

    I love this place.... but I haven't actually ever been inside. Found this place on Yelp and have ordered delivery about 6 times already (even though it says there's no delivery on Yelp- there really is and this place gets an extra star from me for delivering). I've never been disappointed with the food, delivery time, or service over the phone. Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles are excellent staples as well as the Spring Rolls. I also really like the Tofu Lovers (Fried tofu, lots of veggies, and Thai 'gravy') and the Thai Toast. Will definitely have to try the curry next time!

    Ok let me say that I'm not an expert on Thai food. Really I've only ever had it once before, but I liked it so I decided to give Thai Chili a try. I really liked it! The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is I've only sampled one thing (the Beef Panang at a level 3) and it'd have to be drop dead awesome for something to get that (I'll be honest I've never given anything a 5). They gave me just the right level of spicy. I did take out and it was ready and hot when I got there but I think I will take my husband there in the future. It looks like a really intimate dining experience. I'm excited I found this place it will now be my go to Thai food place in Gilbert!

    My hubby and I went out to this with the living social deal and we are so glad we found it. A new favorite. The Satay was really really good but it was chicken tenderloin, which isn't traditional. Kind of funny, but the sauces were so so yummy. I had the drunken noodles, awesome. My hubby had a yellow curry. Can't remember the name. He just loved it. Can't wait to go back. Give it a try. The prices were right too.

    If you want to get take out this is your place but not for dine in. The food was good but we waited over 30 mins for our order while we watched other people come and go. They had to have forgotten about us. We finally asked for our food to go because we had to get going. They just said "sorry about the wait" but didn't really care. Plus our waiter kept bringing my husband refills on his soda but not for me. Agh! Like I said, take out only. Unless you have lots of time to wait.

    Went in this time and was beyond pleased with my experience! This time the owner was there and took my order. When I couldn't decide which soup to have with my lunch special, she brought them both out! I LOVE this place! Love the management, love the food, love the prices! The only thing (and sooo not important) is I wish they had booths! YUMMY!!!

  • Christine M.

    Fresh rolls, papaya salad & beef curry all amazing. Very affordable. Service was great - they were a bit in the weeds but acknowledged it rather than not make eye contact. This will be a tough spot for a restaurant like this to survive but we are hopeful. Great minimal menu, busy and locally owned.

  • Midnight B.

    One of my favorite restaurants! Their food is just incredible and the portions are generous. I'm absolutely addicted to their pad thai, and they have a homemade pineapple dressing that is unbelievably good. (Take it from someone that doesn't even like salad, this stuff rocks!) The place is small but clean, and the staff is very friendly. The only con is that the servers can be a little slow on the refills and check, which may be a turnoff for some. Personally, I think the quality food here is well worth the wait. I always thought their spice was a little weak, but I recently tried a ten and found out how very wrong I was. They can definitely appeal to spice lovers and haters alike. I'd definitely recommend Thai Chili for almost any occasion

    This has become my favorite Thai place in the East Valley. The food is amazing and the service is wonderful. I go in for lunch on a regular basis and they don't have Pineapple Fried Rice on the menu but, they always make it just the way I like it!! My own personal custom dish....

    This place was great! I see it becoming my new weekday lunch time visit! I went with a friend and I had beef panang and my friend had their pad thai. Mine was delicious and my friend really enjoyed theirs too. Seemed like the business was there to please - they decorated nicely - white table cloths and all and the service was amazing! I was very impressed with this place. Could be a cute, simple date night place too. Now, to work on that date.... :)

    Went Sunday, 6/5 = two completely unhappy Asian people. The two of us ordered a number of items and were disappointed. I began Yelping on my phone as we ere leaving and had so much to say that I thought I would finish my thoughts when I got home - didn't get around to it, but I HAVE to share the experience. 1) service was HORRIFIC: - a table seated after us received their appetizers before we got anything - I asked to cancel my order of wine since it had been over 10 minutes since I had ordered it, the manager offered to comp it and I declined (yup, that's how annoyed I was) - the server apologized profusely because he had to leave and deliver orders to people 2) the food was "bleh" - ordered hot and sour soup: he LOVES this stuff, he had a little of it and set it aside, all he could say was, "uninspiring" - ordered pad thai: I agree with a previous Yelper, you can't mess it up, but it was too sweet for my taste and nothing great overall, at least she added the extra peanuts I asked for - ordered spicy eggplant (beef): I have ordered this from other places and LOVED it, here it was good - ordered thai sizzling beef: it was good - ordered the golden banana: BLEH = disappointed that they served it with maple syrup as a dipping sauce from a bottle on the kitchen counter - manager comp'd my sticky rice with thai custard THANK GOD because the custard was cooked all wrong (it was basically cooked eggs) NEVER, EVER, EVER, going back to any of the Thai Chilis I've seen out here. EVER!

    We have found our new favorite thai place! We walked in and jordan, our server welcomed us and was very attentive to our needs. Nice clean atmosphere with plenty of natural light. We had the red chicken curry and chicken pad thai. Both had excellent flavor and generous portions for a reasonable price. The red chili had jalapenos in it so if u can't handle the spice then ask to have it prepared without. The chicken fresh rolls were delicious with the warm peanut sauce. They have been open about 2 months as of this posting, and with the quality and service we experienced, I hope they are able to stay around for a very long time. Overall a 5 star experience and we will definitely be back.

  • jennifer y.

    I love the Beef Panang is the best I have had it else where and it just isn't the same it is soooooo much better here. The spring rolls are great big and the filling you can actually taste. My husband orders the pad thai noodles and he says they are great and some of the best he has had. Even better they always have coupon and deals you can get. Can't use the restaurant.com certificates any more though but still lots of coupons. I am going there tonight and can't wait.

    Last night I was craving Thai food. So I was found Thai Chili through yelp and it was great! It happen to be 5 minutes before they closed and they still delivered to us! I got the #47 Pineapple Curry spicy scale 8. Went down great and their sticky rice was great. My girlfriend got the #24 Pad Thai spicy scale 1(she can't stand hot food) and she loved it as I did which I ate the left overs! Definately will be ordering them again and often! #1 Fresh rolls were nice, too much mint/basil in it though.

  • Robert R.

    My wife and I both lived in Thailand for many years and so we enjoy trying out Thai places in the Valley. We were not disappointed with Thai Chili. Pleasant atmosphere (just about the only Thai restaurant I've been to with tablecloths. This could be a mistake since the usual way to eat Thai food -- passing around and sharing several dishes -- can get messy). We shared larb gai (spicy minced chicken with mint and other things) and green curry. We can recommend both, and there was enough so we could bring some home. We had both dishes at "spice 10," and it was quite hot, the way we like it. If you prefer it milder just get a lower number.

  • Lee L.

    I agree with the SERVICE issues, we were enamored with Thai Chili going back several times until we experience service from the tall dark haired waiter. He acted like he was doing us a favor by being there; speaking in a condescending tone and being a total know it all. He didn't LISTEN to our questions, didn't let us finish our special order and then GOT OUR ORDER WRONG! Forgot anything extra we asked for. Usually I wouldn't take the time to complain about such things but this guy is making you lose business. Either he needs an attitude adjustment and better service skills or you will continue to lose customers. SERIOUSLY we will only get take out if he is going to be our server. Like the below comment, I felt like calling the owner and applying for a job because I could just see their money flying out the door with the customers that were leaving because he didn't acknowledge them when they walked in. Seriously, the restaurant is the size of a postage stamp, it takes a second to make eye contact with guests walking in and saying "i will be right with you" instead of acting SO PUT OUT because he had people walk in.

    Well, I got here about 10 mins. before closing, unbeknownst to me, and I didn't even get dirty I'm-gonna-spit-in-your-food looks. Big smiles and kindness all around. I feel bad now, but I didn't know they were closing until they started turning off lights when I left. Anyhow, the next thing I noticed when I got in my car was there was no smell. One of the best things about Thai is the wonderful aromas. How could this be? I checked and found my order packaged in plastic instead of styrofoam-phew! Nice touch. Unfortunately, when I got home I found the meat to be chewy @ best w/ a sticky, sweet sauce. At least, the cilantro stood out. Very fresh. This was served w/shredded cabbage-also kind of chewy and sticky rice. I've never had sticky rice w/a savory dish, but who doesn't love sticky rice, right? Overall, not to-die-for, but I'd probably go back. It's close to home and it was closing time after all. My bad.

    Upon our third visit to this place, we decided to never come back again. First of all, the owners of this place are completely oblivious as to how to really run a business. Service is extremely poor, to the point that it's intolerable, and, expect to wait at least an hour for food that, at it's best, i'ts average. They seem to serve food in a random--often selective-- manner. We were there yesterday and waited for more than an hour while we savored our empty glasses of water...while other people walked in and got served right away, included a man who was apparently an acquaintance. He walked in and his lunch was readily served! With all the wonderful choices in the valley, please, please, don't waste time on this awful place and visit another restaurant. I would not be surprised if one of these fortunate days, they are no longer in business.

  • Chrystle W.

    Another fantastic dinner at Thai Chili tonight! The server had a handy electronic gadget to ensure that the order was correct (I never do trust the servers who don't write down my order!) and was attentive but not annoying. Our table ordered the thai iced tea, wantons, pad thai, yellow curry, and sweet sticky rice with mango (only $32 for 3 people and we were stuffed) - all were completely demolished with a smile! They have an email list that you can sign up for to get special promos so we'll see what that brings. They also have a very clean restroom which is not always the case for small restaurants. I'd recommend a 3-4 on the spicy level if you are a wuss like me but like a *little* kick.

  • Michael G.

    My first impression of the restaurant was that it was small. It is basically a square dining room. The decor and lighting were nice and the place was adequately clean. For a Saturday night at 8pm, business wasn't booming, but it was dead either. The menu is large with mostly Americanized Thai dishes. Entree prices are reasonable, appetizers maybe a little high. Beer was little expensive too. A bottle of Kilt Lifter was $5. The service started out just OK. Our waiter wasn't very warm and seemed to have only limited knowledge of the menu. However, he kept my water filled and our food was delivered in a reasonable time. Portions are generous and the vegetables were fresh. I ordered a "5" on my dish and was disappointed by the lack of spiciness. I got the eggplant with chicken. Overall, it was pretty good. One piece of the eggplant was a little undercooked and the chicken tasted gamy, probably dark meat. I used a lot of soy sauce. I was very impressed with the brown rice - super fresh and sticky and some of the best I've had. My girlfriend got the shrimp salad, which she was very impressed with also. We didn't do any deserts or appetizers. We used a groupon and Its certainly not worth the drive from Scottsdale without one. Really, this is more a like a 3.5 star restaurant and if you live within a few miles - Thai Chili is a reasonable alternative for fresh food with a decent value.

    Absolutely great Thai food and awesome customer service. We recently moved back to AZ from the San Jose area and I can tell you Thai Chili's food beats any Thai food we found in San Jose, San Mateo, Fremont, and Newark. AND they remembered exactly what we used to order nearly a year ago. Try the food and if you're not familiar with Thai, ask them for a recommendation and you won't be disappointed.

    (5)

  • Mark F.

    Hands down the best Thai food I have had in AZ. I have ordered most things on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. If you know your Thai food, this is the place. We eat in or order it out at least once a week.

  • Emily M.

    Went to try the lunch special today and was doing a "Happy Dance" in my chair. I got the yellow curry with chicken # 3 with the spice level 7. And the curry was spicy and sweet at the same time. I loved it. The egg roll was veggie ( just ok for me) but my Jazzy liked it. I would defiantly go back for MORE... Can't go wrong for $6.95 for lunch and its actually filling and Good !!!!

  • Chanelle C.

    This place has some pretty decent Thai food. I wouldn't it the best (hence the 4 stars) but it will definitely work when I'm craving some Thai. Their curries are decent. They have a pretty large menu. The prices are great at lunch time. My issue is with the spicyness. I love spicy food, but the curry is always WAY too spicy for my son. I mean, I tell them to make it as mild as possible and it still had a pretty decent kick. I would love to share Thai food with him because he's open and eager to try new foods, but there's no way. The second beef I have with them is I've called ahead for pickup and arrived at the quoted time and still had to wait 20+ minutes in a crowded restaurant. I'd much rather wait at home and come at the right time. All in all, I say give this place a shot! It's good!

  • Stephanie M.

    I'd say this is so so Thai food. It's not bad and better than most in the area since Swan Thai seems to have changed owners or something. I've been here twice once I enjoyed it and once I did not.I like the red curry but didn't like the larb.it was bitter. They do have an accurate spice level. A five is a five meaning Thai hot unlike most places where a three is for wimps. I will continue to go here when in need of Thai food that is passable and nearby but no Larb.

    Love this place! I'd been told by my east office coworkers that Thai Chili had great food but it wasn't until the fabulous Monica O suggested that we try it a few weeks ago that I discovered how great it really is! Their Thai tea is perfectly sweet, the best I've had! Their customer service is quick and friendly, and the place is busy with one customer after another coming in for take out. I shared some SaTe chicken with the most amazing peanut sauce, and ordered the pumpkin curry with white rice at Thai hot. Holy heat, did they mean business! With every bite the temperature seem to increase, it was like getting a hot and spicy hug from the inside! It was so good but so filling that I took home leftovers, needless to say they didn't make it to the next day and were finished off a few hours later! I've been in a couple more times for tea and will definitely be back to eat! They offer a 5% off "check in" discount and have buy one get one half off coupons on their to go menu. Bring on the heat, I'm ready to Thai some more!

  • Chicky B.

    We went here two nights ago. I love going to an ethnic restaurant and seeing the chef who is of that ethnicity. A Thai restaurant with a Thai chef...which makes for really good Thai food..what makes it better is that the chef is a woman :) Having lived in Thailand for many years, Thai Chili does not cater to the sissy tongue. It's Thai spicy (if you ask for it). It's not watered down flavors. It's a small place and from the looks of it they are doing great take out and delivery business too. We had veggie curry...which was super good. Spicy enough and loaded with lots of veggies. Ginger Fish had enough ginger to make for a refreshing flavor, they do not skimp on ingredients. They load them up! Our favorite was the Tofu Larb. Mmmmm...the perfect combination of chili spice and tartness from the lime. The coriander and cilantro makes it ! We definitely come back again....next time, we'll have to make room for Sweet Sticky Rice :)

  • Dominique d.

    I live nearby, and I visit Thai Chili every couple of weeks. The staff are polite, friendly and fast, the food is reasonably priced, tasty, and if you ask nicely, hot enough to melt your brain. A 6/10 is noticeably spiced, an 8/10 will leave your lips tingling for the better part of an hour, and I've never been brave enough to ask for a 10/10. Their daily specials are good. If you get a chance, try the steamed white fish with ginger, mushrooms and green onions. Very good stuff.

  • Celeste M.

    After ordering Take Out on Friday, my fiance and I HAD to go back on Sunday. The food is delicious. After our meal our server recognized us and asked us about our experience and was delighted to hear that we couldn't stay away from this amazing Thai restaurant. The restaurant participates in a 'rewards' type of program (order X amount of food get y% off) and after asking us what we had ordered a few days before added that meal amount to our new rewards account. Phenominal customer service. Great food Cute cute cute little restaurant, and clean! Will 100% be making Thai Chili a regular in our rotation. Oh, and they deliver too!

  • Alon L.

    There are several decent Thai restaurants in the East Valley (incidentally, there are also several bad Thai restaurants). Well, I'm happy to say that Thai Chili is a nice addition to the bunch! Thai food is heavy on the spices, both seasoning and heat level, and Thai Chili doesn't disappoint. I've only had lunch here - so, I can't speak to the dinner service. Lunch specials are the standard fare (Pad Thai, Pad See Iw, Thai fried rice, various curries) and include rice, soup or salad (depending on the season, I believe), and an egg roll. The entrees are tasty, and they aren't joking about the spice level. I usually like spicy, but a 5/10 was already reaching my limit! Soup and the egg roll are so-so, but that's okay since the portion size of the entree is satisfactory. As of today's date, the price for the lunch special is $6.95, which isn't too bad. Service is polite and friendly, though can get backed-up if there is a big lunch rush.

  • Kim E.

    This is the easiest review I've ever had to write! The food was amazing. And I can say that after having attempted to eat some of every option at one sitting! The staff is considerate, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Over 50% of the people in the restaurant were regulars, greeted by name by the staff. I love when I see that level of return business at a local spot! And best of all, I reached the waddling state of fullness for much less money than I expected! The final feather in Thai Chili's cap? My husband, who had never had Thai food (and didn't think he'd like it) has requested to eat there again! Woohoo!

  • Tony S.

    Ordered take out couple days ago. We were very pleased with everything we ordered, when you order spicy hot you get spicy hot, I hate when I ask for hot and spicy and get mild and tasteless. The food is full of flavor and I look forward to testing the whole menu.

  • Joy K.

    To sum up in one sentence: "I only go to Thai Chili as often as I do because it's literally a 2-minute walk from my office, in the next building over." And that's about I'd say....once a month or once every other month. I was here when this place first opened, and it was really GREAT - AT FIRST. Then the service got really really horrible - with them screwing up my order 3 consecutive visits in a row, and refusing to do anything but say "sorry...", and when I finally got frustrated and asked them if they'll at least comp my plate, the server was like, "No...the owners are here so I can't do that, but I'll give you free ice cream." When I got really frustrated and my Elite Yelper buddy saw this in action the third time, she wrote a really long review about how she was shocked at their lack of management. Then Thai Chili responded on Yelp, and I think honestly, they've improved their service since. But the funny thing is, now that their service is better, their food doesn't taste as great... And the portions keep getting smaller. But all in all, the food tastes okay, now the service is okay....although I went back today and they took like 20 minutes to bring out my food when there were only 2 other groups there, I'll let that one slide. So all of the little annoyances aside, if I need a quick bite to grab and don't feel like having a Subway sandwich, it's good enough.

    Just moved to Val Vista and Warner, Was pleasantly surprised when i found out that a Thai food placed delivered to my new house. So i did what any Thai food fanatic would do, I ordered up the Chicken Pad Thai and a Red Curry because i wanted to try them both. I called, placed the order and 25 minutes later the order was delivered directly to my house. The pad Thai was AWESOME and the red curry was AWESOME! My life is complete now that i live in an area where Thai food delivers, will definitely be ordering A LOT.

    I've been here a few times. The food is tasty and spicy comparable to Swadee Thai, or even better. I've ordered Pad Thai, catfish with chili sauce and duck in curry (Gung ped Yang. All three dishes were delicious. I'm pretty picky with my thai food and I think this place does a great job with them. Service is great. They gave us a complimentary dessert because we had to wait a little longer for a dish. A typical Friday night expect about 15-20 minutes wait. The place is very cozy with cute decor. Prices are decent. I will make this my frequent dinning place when I'm craving some spicy Thai food!

    First of all, I love Thai food and have eaten at many real good Thai Restaurants and this in NOT one of them ! Ordered Tum Yong kai Soup had TONS of mushrooms which I do not eat. We ordered Red Curry MILD..It was so hot we could not eat it. The Mee Krob was way off ! No table maintenance dirty dishes on the table the whole meal. Never saw my server till it was time to leave. Will Not Return ! There are plenty of better Thai Restaurants out there, don't waste your money!

    DELICIOUS! We adore Thai food and try a new Thai restaurant any chance we get. After reading Yelp reviews we decided to try Thai Chili tonight. There was a good sized crowd, but not a wait at 7pm on a Friday, that was a plus. Our waiter, Ray, took great care of us without being over bearing. I got the vegetarian curry and my fiance' ordered the Shrimp Chu Chi, both were fabulous. I ordered mine at a hot level 3 and it was HOT, his was a 4 a FIRE HOT...luckily we like hot foods. But, I beware of the 1 to 10 hot scale, those low numbers are still very hot! Note that if you order brown rice instead of the white jasmine rice there is an additional $2 charge. They are upfront about the fee, but seriously? $2 for RICE? That didn't dampen my spirits but did make me wonder where else they might try to gouge me, but they didn't. Entrees are reasonably priced at about $10 to $15 each. We were fortunate to get a Yelp $15 for $10 deal. We also joined their 'club' so the next time we get 20% off. We will return!

    Holy Hot!! I ordered the Drunken Noodles and requested a 7 out of 10 on the spicy scale & my mouth was on fire!! To think I almost got an 8!! Wow! Love it!! The portions were plentiful but I still had to order dessert, STICKY RICE!!! MMMMMMMMMMMMM! So good....

    Okay, Thai Chili owners. Thanks for responding to my yelp complaint. I really hope that the management atmosphere keeps improving. UPDATE: The owners contacted me and offered to make it right, and I did take them up on it (I mean, I was having spicy eggplant withdrawal!!!), but my friend is still just not ready to take that chance. I am pretty regular over there when I'm working in Phoenix (less than a block from my office), so I'm glad to know that the management is listening and doesn't just let mistakes (multiple mistakes) go unchecked. Thanks again, Thai Chili owners for extending your care! It is most appreciated!

    My wife and I found Thai Chili doing a Yelp review a while back. We LOVE this place! The food is well prepared. The Red Curry Chicken is one of our favorites! Their lunch portions are very filling and we also love the Dumpling Appetizers! Try the Pad Pring Pao for a different twist. I'm telling you this food is awesome! You ca also ask for no rice and extra vegetables so you can keep that Atkins thing goin'! Go in and Ask for Mai the waitress, we love Mai! Enjoy!

    My husband and I had the Fresh Spring Rolls, Chicken Pad Thai and Duck Curry. The Fresh Spring Rolls took a little longer than I would have liked, but the portions were generous, and the accompanying peanut sauce was delicious!!! Our main dishes were spicy, and also very tasty. I took off a couple stars because the hostess was inattentive, and didn't acknowledge us when we arrived. We stood around aimlessly, until she finally pointed at a table and told us to sit down. One of the chairs was covered in water, so they clearly hadn't cleaned it after the last customer. Our server was polite, but I was disappointed that they didn't have limes, which are a staple in Thai cuisine.

    Had a little party at a friends house. He ordered Thai Chili, for delivery (out of the delivery window). Not only did they deliver farther than usual, it was the owner who brought it. GREAT FOOD! EVERYTHING was awesome. Not as spicy (5) as may have expected, but was really really good!

    I'm obsessed with their Panang Curry. I could drink it like a soup. Wait, I do that already. =P What I got: Panang Curry. Rating: 4.5/5 Pad Siew. 3.5/5 Green Tea Ice Cream. Rating: 3/5 Thai Iced Tea. Rating: 4/5 Spiciness: asked for 7/10. Hostess even gave a free dessert. For Arizona standards, the curry is some of the best I've had here. Decently Priced too. The atmosphere is sit down and awesome one of my top picks if you want to take a date here, but need a college priced / affordable place. It's clean and a very friendly atmosphere.

    This is the 1st time in more than 30 years that I visit a restaurant and just because my son was "munching" something from outside the restaurant... My god.... A tiny bag of gold fish!!! We were told that "we had to put the bag away!!!l" unbelievable, deserves to be at Ripley!! After this event the food was Ok.. We did not leave just because the scene the waitress made was enough.. We did not want to make it worse

    Love there food and friendly staff. Tried something new today... shrimp & scallops in their peanut sauce with noodles and it was good. I like that the shrimp and scallops were big and not baby ones like other places. We try to go for lunch at least once a week cause they have great lunch specials but today we order from their dinner menu to try something different.

    It's funny because I have to agree with another user whose comment was (of course!) filtered. I couldn't of said it better myself, so I'll just repost what this user said. It must be nice to be so busy that you stop serving regulars (My husband and I also tipped well, ordered 3x month, and always recommended people, wrote great reviews etc). As a business owner myself I'm very disappointed in their brush-off answer every time any customers have brought this point up. "Thanks for the feedback we are working on it...." for a year? Please. Used to be my favorite delivery, carry out, Thai, go-to restaurant. Now I won't be back until they change their delivery policies. And 3 miles is NOT the industry standard folks. Previous Yelper: "Very inconsistent with their delivery policies. We used to order twice a month and tip the driver generously. We often would buy an extra dish to take to work the next day. The food is/was outstanding. We live 3 & 3/4 miles away. They changed their delivery policy and said that we were out of range. Then, we called a few days later and they said it was okay. Thinking that the first refusal was just a fluke, we had some friends over, enjoyed a bottle of wine and planned to have a great meal from Thai Chili delivered. We called them for our regular delivery and were told that the manager on duty would not allow the driver to deliver to our area. Our neighbors told us that they never had a problem ordering for delivery. It depends on who's working whether you can get delivery. This sucks. It makes it impossible to plan an evening in. We are done with this place. I get that they need a range of delivery, but the inconsistency has left a sour taste in our mouth." UPDATE: They've since changed their delivery policy back to their original parameters which was overdue and a nice change. Happy to be getting our Thai Chili fix again each month....delivered of course!

    We yelped this place looking for solid Thai food and were impressed. The mango curry was poetry. Run, go now, while mangoes are in season. Beau had a lovely beef brisket curry concoction. We'll try the lunch specials next time and will be sure to order the salads as other yelpers suggest. Also want to try the Thai soups this winter, our real bellweather of Thai cuisine. Who knew this place was so close to our beloved "Happy Feet"?

    What a gem find! Really friendly service off the bat! Teh food was great...I mean REALLY great. What I liked most was that all of the dishes can be made without sugar (I'm diabetic) and also with a heat scale of 1-10...for EVERYTHING on the menu. We had a Thai Fresh Roll to start with that was really good...and fresh as stated. I had Thai Sizzling Beef that was a HUGE portion and tasted fantastic. I really loved it. Thsi wil be added to my regular rotation.

    I love Thai Chili. Everything I have had here is delicious and spiced to perfection. The pad Thai, duck curry, and Thai tea are awesome. Service is always really good too.

    A little known secret, the lunch special includes a salad and eggroll. That's not the secret. Apparently, you have to Specifically Request the salad. Yes, it's listed as included in the lunch special. The fine print (that isn't *actually* printed anywhere)... you must request the salad. Look, that's what the restaurant told me. I'm not creative enough to make this stuff up. Roy G.'s review makes more sense now. They "forgot" our salads as well. Unfortunately it was delivery and the driver was unavailable to bring those salads by. I only had the vegetable fried rice lunch special. It wasn't greasy. That's the primary method used to destroy veggie fried rice and Thai Chili avoided it. I call that a success.

    Met my match. When asked "how hot" and gave me numerical option 1-5, I asked "how hot can you go?". "Fifty" was the response. You learn from your mistakes. Be a hero and ask for fifty. I cried... In font of my children.... That's how hot that is.

    I would have given a 5 star rating but had to paid full price since I used the restaurant.com certificate that took the seafood out so I felt slightly cheated. The service was nice the the food is great. If you used any type of discount, you will not get the best items while the price is being charged at the full rate. No other restaurant ever do this. I think it is something to consider before you walk in.

    I've been here a few times for lunch and the place has some good deals. I've tried the eggplant and the pad thai. I really enjoyed the eggplant dish. I like my food pretty spicy and Thai Chili really knows how to turn up the heat! I got a 10/10 and it really hit the spot. A lot of places don't seem to cook the eggplant quite long enough, but thai chili did a really good job. That is probably my favorite thing to eat there! The pad thai isn't one of my favorites. It's a decent meal for lunch. I got a 9/10 which is just spicy enough for me without burning a hole in my stomach. I would say the flavor just isn't really "authentic" or what I might be used to. The noodles have a bit too much sauce on them for me. The service is usually great. Water is always filled, friendly people, fast service. Overall, I'd say this place is decent to eat but not the best thai I've ever had.

    This place has a nice ambiance. The ac is definitely getting a workout. I wasn't left to parch as my glass was filled with water often. Service was attentive. There is a lot of choices on the menu. Our orders. Thai spring rolls- ok. sauce was pretty sweet. Pad thai with beef- good Basil with tofu- good Overall, I wont be going back. The prices are high for Thai food. It was good, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't anything special.
