My family's favorite Thai restaurant! It's such a cute and cozy location and the service is always very friendly and prompt. We love the chicken pad see ewe and panang curry!
Loved the pad see ew! The portion size was very big I had some leftovers. I really enjoyed it because the noodles were generously coated with the sweeter sauce used for this dish. The broccoli was perfectly cooked too, each one was crunchy. The service was pretty good too. The server was very attentive and made sure our water was always filled. The only downside is the acoustics of the restaurant. If you are looking for a place to have a conversation with someone, it's not the best for that. I will be back to try more dishes!
First time here and my online experience through Yelp was positive. I ordered Tom Kha soup Chicken mild + Pad Thai (hot) and it was very spicy just as I was expecting. Both dishes where very good, however I just wish my soup had a little more protein. The service was great. Just when I got there my meal was ready for pickup and remained hot during my 12 minute drive. I will definitely be back to try a different dish. No photos because I just gobbled the food down -- :) delish!!
Delicious and fresh! Super friendly staff. I had the green curry lunch special with shrimp and it was absolute perfection. Veggies were fresh and gently cooked, the curry was creamy and warm. My hubby had yellow curry noodles, equally delicious. I will definitely be back next one I'm in the area!
Overall great experience! I definitely recommend! Spicy Fried rice with chicken was incredibly tasty and delicious! The spicyness was manageable and seasoning was perfect! Customer service was also very nice and friendly!
Excellent Thai food! Good customer service, and the Tom kha soup was delicious. You must end the meal with a mango sticky rice dessert . Will definitely come again.
Chili Tango Thai Cuisine surpassed all expectations! I am overjoyed. The Chicken Red Curry is flavorful, filling, and fresh. Savory spices and tender chicken. The lunch special is $11.95. The location offers a 10% Cash Discount. Incredible deal! [IMPORTANT NOTE: There's a $15 minimum for card. Bring cash.] I arrived at Chili Tango Thai Cuisine on the weekend (around 12:00PM). I ordered the Lunch Special (available all days - 11AM to 3PM). I selected the L4 Option (Red Curry); dish includes egg roll, salad, white rice, and red curry. I chose chicken for the curry. The hot meal arrived in three minutes and 50 seconds. Extremely fast! The server is business-like and cordial. The Chicken Red Curry is so flavorful. The fresh ingredients wrapped me within its gentle, savory heat. The curry is smooth, well-spiced, and bright. The tender chicken, crisp bamboo shoots, and delicious spices are addictive. I devoured it. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the accompanying salad. The fresh vegetables and sweet dressing is tasty. Unfortunately, the vegetable egg roll is the weakest add-on. Despite the egg roll's crisp wrap, its stuffing is mushy and gloopy. Chili Tango Thai Cuisine is relatively clean. I noticed unswept crumbs by the adjacent table. The location is well-ventilated (almost chilly). Also, it's absolutely silent with no music. The decor is cute. The minimalistic vibe made the small location feel more spacious. Also, nearby parking is somewhat cramped. Overall, Chili Tango Thai Cuisine is absolutely delicious. In addition, they offer satisfying portions, good-quality ingredients, and superb prices. I will definitely return. And I whole-heartedly recommend!! YUM!
Good spot for lunch. The pricing for the lunch special is worth the visit. $11.95 for some thai food is a sweet deal. The yellow curry was really delicious and a good amount of food overall. Food came out pretty quickly. There's a lot of selection for the lunch specials so it's worth a return visit if I have time for lunch again.
My favorite food critic made this choice for our lunch destination today. She ordered her Go-To Thai dish - Tom Kha Tofu soup in a hot pot and was given 5 choices of spice. no spice - mild - medium - spicy or Holy cow! Thai hot! Unless your are into the burn DO NOT ask for Thai Hot. It is very spicy. We enjoyed it that way and agree it takes you to the edge. The Chicken Pad Thai lunch special was amazing for 11.95 with White Rice - tiny veg egg roll and a Green Salad. A side of fried tofu added and we were set! I will be back. The dining room is small and the menu is covered in plastic seriously needs sanitizing more often. Love the customer service! Do not be afraid to ask for any deviations from the menu as they will make it happen.
