They have daily lunch specials (11am-4pm) that includes wonderful hot 'n sour chicken soup or salad with peanut dressing,which I felt is great deal than their regular dinner menu.

Thai smile fried rice is probably the best Thai fried rice I've ever had. It's also a portion nearly big enough for two people. Cooked with beef, chicken, and shrimp, you can't go wrong.

The Pad -Sew is a must. Try the Awesome Sol. The plates are big enough for sharing.

The best Thai in Palm Springs. Lunch specials an especially good deal, take out a bit of a hassle. Delicious, free iced tea.

This place is pretty cheap for the good ambiance it has. Tom Kha Gai soup and Fried Banana Ice Cream are excellent. I found Pad Thai and Pineapple fried rice to be average to be honest.

Tastes just like in Thailand. Reasonable prices, kind service!

When I walked in I only saw old caucasians and I was worried the food will be bland. To my surprise, my spicy tofu was actually spicy and full of flavor.

Lunch menu items are all similar in taste. Food is blend and not interesting. Our waitress has a lack of interest. I regret that I followed 4square recommendations.

Everything was pretty solid, though not particularly spicy. If you like it hot be sure to ask.

I've always enjoyed their lunch specials (11am-4pm, daily). Agreed what the other tip said about it being overpriced.. it is somewhat overpriced at dinner/regular menu but quality is really good.

Pad Thai wasn't too dry and they give you a good amount of shrimp. Good lunch value.
Justin HendersonJuly 2, 2017

pad kee mao and pad see ew are legit. stay away from the pad thai though. it was a weird pink color.

They really need to get it together. The kitchen is not ready for the crowds,granted they doubled in size but it's been a month since they opened. Waiting 45 minutes for lettuce cups is ridiculous.

After coming here for years Thai Smile refused to honor a $25 coupon. Over a $5 dispute. They chose to keep $5 over me as a customer. Very disappointed.
Katie DownenMarch 16, 2012
Don't go here. If u can't print out that u checked n they won't give u a discount.
