THAI CHILI REVIEWS

Thai Chili was a delightful experience! We started with the tofu spring rolls, which were fresh and light. The rice paper was perfectly chewy, and the tofu paired wonderfully with the crisp veggies. The accompanying peanut sauce was a great addition, adding just the right amount of flavor. For the main course, we had the drunken noodles, and they were fantastic! The noodles were perfectly cooked and had that great chewy texture. The dish was loaded with a variety of vegetables, giving it a nice crunch and freshness. The sauce was flavorful with just the right amount of heat, making every bite delicious. Service was quick and friendly, making our dining experience even better. If you're craving some tasty Thai food, Thai Chili is definitely worth a visit.

Every rime I have gone here I have gotten the best service. The waitress is so friendly and treats you like a friend/family. The whole staff is great. The food is out of this world delicious! I love the curry dishes. Exceptional flavor! This is probably my favorite restaurant.

Staff are nice and moves quick with their fast service. It looks clean inside the dining area. Food I ordered was great. I will definitely go back. Thanks, Thai Chili. Love my Pad Thai.

RAO THAI EATERY REVIEWS

Good place to eat. Food is very good. Have good options. I had the pumpkin curry w chicken and Thai Satay and Thai iced tea and a nice big bottle of water. I was pretty full at the end had to take the rest home. The curry was made with their Red Panang curry. Chunks of chicken and pumpkin were good. Had a big bowl of brown rice to go with it. Very hardy meal. The decor and the atmosphere are cool. I highly suggest you go here.

Amazing authentic Thai dishes. The moo ping is fantastic and the currys are great! We also ordered the Thai tea which is better than most places imo, great tea flavor and not overly sweet. Awesome and friendly staff as well! Highly recommended.

Had Crying Tiger Steak and Pad Thai. Both excellent, and what's better is they provided a row of heat; basically, peppers, sauces, and dry ground chilies to tailor your pain. Excellent, and our new favorite Thai in Elk Grove.

GAI 'N RICE REVIEWS

Been here a couple of times and have always had a great experience. I wanted to shout out Giodin for his exceptional service today - we were aiming to buy meals for 6 adults and I asked him to compare the individual meals with the party platter. He was super helpful and we ended up getting the platter for just a bit more, which helped save us some money and get more delicious chicken. Everybody enjoyed the chicken, which was tender and moist.

Kids friendly restaurant with great portions and prices. The food is excellent especially the flavorful curry rice. Crispy chicken and the chicken noodle soup is good option (not too salty) for young kid. Friendly staff and owner. Overall, we had great experience and will be back.

This is a very cute, clean location with quick fresh tasting chicken and rice dishes. We enjoyed all the main chicken dishes very much. We bought some soup, cucumber salad and Gyoza, but they were not as delicious as the main dishes.
