    We ordered yellow curry happy meal which it came with choice of soup or salad, pad Thai noodle, rice, veggie egg roll and cookie. All were good. Two egg rolls for appetizer and an emperio noodle. Portion was huge and we liked it. All the orders came out 42 bucks. We recommend this place.

    Okay, my husband and I tried just about every Thai restaurant within a 20 mile radius.. We finally found the Best Thai Cuisine. The food here is deliciously executed, and the Thai tea hits the spot! I ordered yellow curry and pad Thai my husband got the crab fried rice and a hot pot combo, they were just delightful and filling. It was amazing! And have I mention that the staff here are super friendly?! I recommend either dine in or take out, but definitely eat the food while it's still warm because it's so tasty. 10/10 recommend.

    If you are looking for Thai food near the UCR campus and don’t want to travel more than 10 mins, this would be the best place. The dinner is a little on the expensive side and I don’t like that curry doesn’t come with rice but overall the food tastes good. The restaurant in a small plaza next to a Thai massage place. It’s easy to miss it. The restaurant inside is cozy with close sitting spaces. With a new variant everytime I turn around, I prefer to pick up a takeout. Easy to order on the phone and go straight to the counter to pick. They don’t take phone pay so remember to take your card.

    Service was fast and friendly. No plates or utensils for take out. The wonton soup was okay. House Salad was plain. Steamed rice was fine. The veggie dumplings not so good. Peanut Satay was dry and tough. Food for 3 with leftovers.

    It is the best Thai cuisine in all US! The curry it’s so good, that I could really taste the coconut flavour and the pice at the same time, and the beef is so soft. The Padthai is so flavourful.

    Pad Thai Kai tasty but a little on the sweet side. If you like spicy food, go for 5 of 5 on the heat schedule. I went 4, and I barely noticed it. Had to add table top chili. Tom Yum Kai was tasty but not exceptional. I liked the Larb, but I wouldn't say it goes well with salad. Better with stir fried veggies, bean sprouts, etc. Server was pleasant even though quite busy. Generally this place is ok. But I'll try another next time I'm in town.

    This Thai restaurant was very exceptional, beautiful, inexpensive prices, high quality, and the taste was very delicious. It is one of the best Thai restaurants in Riverside, CA. We recommend Pad Thai, Coconut Water, Fried rice, and Fried chickens. It was a wonderful dinner of a night vacation.

    Best Thai I’ve had east of Anaheim. It is so hard to find authentic food east of Orange County and I have to say that best Thai cuisine really lived up to its name. My friend and I came here and really enjoyed the food. We had the Tum kha kai soup and basil and mint with a side of rice. The ambience is cozy and there are plenty of seats. Will definitely come back! eggplant was soft yet the outside was crispy. And soup was so good.

    If you don't want to deal with food poisoning, DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT......Absolute worst! I ordered my food with steamed vegetables as a side order. You won't believe what I found in my vegetables.....WORM! That means they didn't wash the vegetables properly......who knows what else about their food or their cooking that's not done properly. Please see attached picture, so you'll know I'm not making this up. The waitress had the effrontery to say that the worm is an indication that the vegetable is "organic"......Nonsense! Simply put....If you want to eat at this restaurant, eat at your own risk.

    Food is very delicious. Menu has a wide variety of choices. Will definitely go back to try other dishes.

  • 5/5 De'Von W. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty good Thai food and quick service.We for the yellow curry which was hot, fresh, and really good. That came with pad thai, white rice, egg drop soup, and a delicious cookie. This combo is called a happy meal dinner the lunch hour and is $20. We also got the garlic pepper shrimp with the same combo but salad. Really tasty but wish the shrimp was a bit more fresh. Would definitely go back. The atmosphere is ok not quite a spot for a date but a good spot for friends or a couple who is passed the "wine and dine" phase 🤣

    Only been here twice, but the place overall is very nice. The environment, its all very unique and gives a home-y feeling. The service is great, the waiters and waitresses are very sweet, always approaching the table with a smile and welcoming you to their restaurant. The food is great here, the crab fried rice comes in a big portion and very flavorful, as well as their vegetable dumplings. Their thai milk tea and iced coffee are great, and if i didn't live so far, id come here more often. Don/Dawn was a really sweet waitress, always happy and made small talk.

    My wife and I came here a little over a week ago for the first time and this place did not disappoint! This place was super delicious!!! We started with the Thai Egg Rolls and they were very good! They even had extra sweet and sour sauce on all of the tables, which is always a plus! I ordered the Garlic and Pepper Delight and my wife ordered the Yellow Curry and added Pineapple. I cannot express enough how good our food tasted! Highly recommend coming to eat here at Best Thai Cuisine!

    I purchased take out. Food is very yummy. Very consistent flavor year over year

    Genuinely exceptional food. You don’t realize how nice it is when every part of a curry comes together until you take a bite and the chicken is tender, the bell peppers are softened but still have a lovely crunch, and the peas are bright and firm. The pad thai has a great tang to it. Real nuance and deliciousness here.

    Food is always excellent!! Service is great too! I love the Cucumber soup and the beef and broccoli in oyster sauce.

  • 5/5 Alexis U. 1 year ago on Google
    Hidden gem. Truly the BEST THAI in Riverside. This place is busy enough that you know the food is good but not so busy that there is a long wait. They are accomodating to diet restrictions and honest if they can not adjust the meal. I have yet to eat anything I do not like. Parking is plentiful, and the bathroom is clean.

    I previously went back to this restaurant to give it another shot and it is amazing. The tea is the best in Riverside… Although there is the gentleman that works there and then the lady who also works there I believe between like Thursday to Sunday or Monday who isn’t as nice as I would. Hope they would be to me and my family but the other ladies that work there are amazing. They’re very kind and warming and their hospitality is very endearing which keeps me going back for more but it really is the food. The food is definitely delicious and taste like real Thai food. It is cooked to its finest ingredients and I do recommend this a 10 out of 10 food wise, and those ladies that make it a very welcoming experience.

  • 5/5 Uptown Grooming L. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious! We ordered the spicy coconut yellow curry happy meal and garlic pepper chicken happy meal which came with choice of soup or salad, pad Thai noodle, rice, veggie egg roll and cookie. Both were fresh and delicious. Portion were big! Pad Thai noodles and salad were amazing. Highly recommended!

    I visited my cousins one year in 2014 and was introduced to this place. It was the first time in my life that I have gotten Pineapple shrimp fried rice. BOYYYY did my life change after that, I also tried ordering sweet tea (mind you I’m from texas) and the waiter looked at me weird and said they had iced tea(fyi it’s not the same thing I guess it’s a southern thing) so she recommended Thai tea. First bite out of this plate and first sip out of the Thai tea I fell in love instantly. So now every time I visit this is the first place I want to go and get my favorite plate Pineapple shrimp fried rice and drink. If my cousins end up coming to Texas I always request they bring me a plate to go from this place (yes it makes it)♥️ In Texas everywhere I go I try to order my fried rice like this place and no place has been able to top this plate . I’ve been in love since 2014 I definitely recommend this place 10/10!!

    Got the “Basil” spicy fried rice. Or Spicy fried rice they call it! Rice was too mushy and sticky, “ Sticky Fried Rice “? 😂 too sweet and oily! Spicy level was never to be found! I had to add the Simbal Oelek chili paste and still wasn’t spicy! At least put dry Thai chili flakes! Fried rice portion was the size of my iPhone Pro Max! Damn will not worth the $19.52. 2nd time here and both time failed me miserably! 😂🤣 Food for thoughts! Not trying to Hammer the place just a Food for thoughts!

    What a great place to enjoy really delicious Thai food!

  • 4/5 Ryan A. 2 years ago on Google
    Overall enjoyed my lunch here! It was super busy but got seated and served quickly. The only reason I didn’t rate this place 5 stars was because the fried egg rolls weren’t seasoned well

  • 5/5 Addie S. 2 years ago on Google
    Pad Thai is gluten free and I really enjoyed it. My husband egg drop soup and shrimp salad which he says were really good (I didn’t ask if they were gluten free so I didn’t try them. Will come back to try more items.

  • 4/5 Patricia U. 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped in for lunch, what a wonderful hidden gem! Customer service was fabulous the moment we walked in considering they were very busy. Lunch specials are worthy and filling. Thai iced tea hit the spot on this hot summer day. Pad thai was delicious and my cashew chicken was packed with flavor. We will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Valentyne S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 pixieys 3 years ago on Google
    The best Thai Food I have ever tasted. I wasn't sure about the place at first, but once I tried the food WOW!!! I will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Devin “Papers” M. 3 years ago on Google
    Actually the best Thai food I've had in Riverside. The crab fried rice was great. Very generous with the crab. The yellow curry was the perfect amount of spicy to sweet. The shrimp soup hot pot is one of my favorite dishes.

  • 5/5 Fernando H. 3 years ago on Google
    Pretty good. I haven't tried much here but the food is light and not heavy like some other places. Want a good recommendation? Try cashew chicken and padthai.

  • 3/5 Derek H. 3 years ago on Google
    The Pad Thai Omelette is good, and Soup is good too, but medium spicy is not spicy, maybe next time will try spicy. Food is good but drinks very bad, taste like sour or something, and boba is terrible hard. Never recommend drinks.

    Now that Thai Bay Cafe is gone 😭 THIS is the best Thai restaurant for me. Flavorful, good portions, nicely priced lunch menu, good/quick service, ez parking....close to my work 😂

    This place has the worse customer service ever. I left the restaurant after having lunch with my son. When we got home he realize that he had left his $600 retainers on the table. I called the restaurant immediately to ask if the retainers were still on the table. The owner refused to help me and look or ask the other coworkers because he said he was too busy to help me. My husband drove to the restaurant when he arrived he noticed that there was not one customer in there. Yet the owner still refuse to help us and ask his coworkers if they had seen the retainers or somebody put them aside. This has been one of the worst restaurant experiences that I have ever had. I had never been to this restaurant before but some of the reviews were good I will never go there again. Besides the owner being rude and not helping us I also noticed how crowded the tables were to each other and there was several people coughing over others. I am very upset over this situation this restaurant clearly has no consideration for other people and don't know the meaning of kindness and compassion for others. All he had to do was ask the other people there if anyone had seen anything I understand if they went in the trash I'm going to replace them but the rudeness is what really upset me. Besides all of this, the place is very run down and looks dirty I will definitely not recommend this to anyone else.
