We eat Thai food all over the country and this spot is one of the best! It’s a bit pricey but the yellow curry is a 10/10 the Panang curry is incredible as well! The Pad see ew is great! The people who work here are very kind. I would return here anytime!

Solid Thai restaurant, 5 stars! Ordered bunch of items - Panang Curry, Dunken noodles as well as Basil Fried rice and Tom Yum Fried rice, all Vegetarian. All dishes were really good, especially Panang Curry was super yummy and Tom Yum Fried rice was a novelty. Haven’t seen that type of fried rice elsewhere. Good smokey flavor. Must try if you are in town!

Found this place while on vacation. My wife had green curry and I had the stir fry duck. Both were awesome! Big servings with really fresh vegetables and plenty of duck meat in mine. I would absolutely go back again.

We ordered an appetizer and three entrees and all were delicious. For starters we ordered the Northern Thai style herb sausage. By itself it was wonderful but it came with a fresh ginger dipping sauce that was incredibly good. Thom yum fried rice with added beef shank was quite good. The duck noodle soup was very good. We requested that at a spice level of 5 (the hottest). At a lesser restaurant all you would taste is the added chilli masking all the other flavors, but this dish was amazingly well balanced. A very nice kick but not stupid hot, and all the other flavors shone as well. The star of the show was the pumpkin curry with duck. What a delight. Just wow. Excellent. Regardless of the dish, if you're undecided on a protein selection, I highly recommend the duck. I look forward to trying so many of the other items on the menu. Also, try the fresh coconut juice. Mine came in the coconut itself, so in addition to the drink I had fun scraping the coconut meat from the shell and eating that too. What a treat. For an unassuming storefront in a strip mall, this restaurant is the perfect example of not judging a book by its cover. No flash or bling, but they've got it where it counts. On the table in front of you. Far better than the standard issue Thai restaurant. Generous portions at reasonable prices and boy is it good. I just wish I had discovered it sooner.

This little quaint spot was amazing. We were in Palm Springs for a girls getaway and wanted Thai food one night. We stumbled upon this little restaurant not too far from our resort and were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was clean, the server was attentive and helpful, and we enjoyed his banter and company. One of my friends had been to Bangkok several times and made a special request that was not on the menu and they made the entree for us. The food came fast and it was all delicious! I would recommend this place to anyone in the Palm Springs/Indio area and will certainly visit again myself the next time I visit Indio.

Great service with gratefulness and smiles. Great tasty food and ample servings. I had the ginger (with beef). It was not too spicy and was a nice flavor. They did not ask about heat nor were there any chili or hot sauces offered or at the table. This was not a problem just making a note if you really like it hot and spicy! A great find.

We were looking for a place to grab some takeout near the Tesla charging station and stumbled upon Thai Hot Restaurant. What a great find! We ordered the larb, chicken wings, and soft shell crab curry, everything was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor. The owner, who is Thai, was very kind and welcoming. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Very impressed with very traditional Thai food. Nice place to stop before going into Joshua Tree Park.
