Spices Thai Kitchen
Spices Thai Kitchen, located at 402 S 1st Ave, Arcadia, CA, is a local favorite for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine. Tucked away in a quiet area, this take-out only gem stands out for its incredible flavors and consistent quality, making it a must-visit for Thai food enthusiasts in the region.
One of the standout features of Spices Thai Kitchen is its bold use of spices, evident in every dish they serve. Whether it’s the rich and fragrant green curry or the flavorful drunken noodles with the perfect wok hei, you can expect a punch of flavor in every bite. The menu offers a variety of well-known Thai dishes, such as pad thai, crispy pork with broccoli, pad see ew, and garlic chicken, each crafted with care and precision.

Spices Thai Kitchen Reviews
I'm so glad I found this hidden gem. Located in a quiet street and take out only. Ordered late afternoon so it was ready in under 15 minutes, very quick. Decided to try the pad see ew with medium spice and it was SO. GOOD. I'm surprised other reviews were not impressed by this dish - I thought the noodles were cooked well and it was super flavorful. I'll definitely be back to try out their other dishes.
Great little take-out only place on 2nd Ave in Arcadia. I phone in my order, it's ready when I get there in 10-15 minutes and the quality is consistent. It's a regular stop for me at least once per month. I haven't tried too much of the menu because I like their Green Curry and Larb so much I almost always order those. I like it spicy and order the curries "extra spicy", which comes out about right. Ask them for Prik Nam Pla (chiles in fish sauce) and Red Chile Paste if you like to add more spice while you eat, as I do. The order of Larb is huge for the price. I usually get the Green Curry with either pork or seafood. The seafood version is a larger serving with fish, shrimp, squid and scallops - nice mix. If I were inclined to nit pick, I'd add a little more veg to the curry, and serve the larb with the lettuce cups on the side, but good stuff.
Was staying in the area and found myself with hunger so I turned to Yelp/Google and found this little gem located near downtown Arcadia. I was hesitant because I hate to be disappointed and because it is only a take out establishment, but after a second thought I figured it would only be good because it is only a takeout place. I was not disappointed and neither will you! I placed my order through Google and was able to track my order. It even gave you an estimated time and was able to arrive just as soon as my order was placed in the take out shelf. The portions were generous and the food was delectable. Five stars all around!!
This is a takeout spot but the food, portion, and PRICE... unbeatable. Think we just found our new favorite Thai take out location in this area! The man serving was wearing such a cute uniform too and was kind. They also have an online ordering system too (we did advanced pick up) which was on time. Highly highly recommend the crab fried rice!! We also got Tom kha and spicy pad kee Mao. All super delicious
You cannot miss with this place! Everything I've had here, from the pad thai, crispy pork and broccoli, and pad see ew to the pad kee mao, garlic chicken, and tom kha soup have been ON POINT. They were not playing when they named themselves Spices. The drunken noodles in particular had good wok hei. Oh man, everything I eat here I'm like stunned by how good it is. Are portions huge? No, but you can definitely taste the quality. They've somehow gotten even better over the years, I've eaten here for awhile but just recently the flavors have been hitting. Best place for Thai in the area!!!
