What People Are Saying About Top Spice

Featured Review

Erin Behan

The Scene – Rich wood and ochre walls draw you into a calming dining room and away from the frenzied strip mall surroundings. An army of servers delivers assistance and food at your leisure. The combination of elegant surroundings and dependable service lures a crowd of regulars that keep the restaurant consistently busy. – – The Food – For starters, go Thai with the tender basil rolls. A Malaysian appetizer, roti canai--a pancake dipped in curry--lacks flavor. Both the Malaysian buah mango chicken--served in mango halves--and the Malaysian pineapple prawn--immense…

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Despite the restaurant's name, the dishes are served only moderately spicy unless you look very serious when requesting something "hot."
Look Good:
The tempting daily specials are posted at the restaurant entrance. To avoid confusion when ordering, take your time and read them before taking your seat.
What to Drink:
A small wine bar sits prominently at the entrance. You'll find a rather standard selection of $20-$30 wines, most available by the glass.

no taste food

by cramond

Lacking in taste, ordered several dishes and their sauces taste exactly same. It seemed like they were just poured on. If you do enjoy good food and do not want to waste money

this is not one of the places to eat.

One of my favorites

by psmadel

I would give them 5 stars except they are not the BEST I've ever had. They are really good though.

I've tried several dishes, but I usually stick with what I like and that is the chicken fried rice. It is very good and has been every time I've gotten it. I've been to the restaurant and had delivery and always good food. I also like the Thai Iced Tea.

They are pretty consistent with the food and so far I have not had any issues with the service.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Truly amazing

by BusyKobe

We had an awesome time dining at Top Spice. We love the Thai cuisine they offered. It's really great tasting. Their food had a unique flavor compared to other Thai restaurants. We had a very lovely evening at this place.

Nice place

by apache6131

We ate there last night since it was one of the top rated Thai places on Yelp. The roti canai was good, but lacking in portion size, not really fit as an appetizer for sharing. I had the beef Rendang, which was ok, but not as good as Penang on Buford Hwy, not enough spice to it. My wife had Prik Khing tofu, which she thought was ok.

Both entrees came out very quickly which was nice, though the drink refills weren't as quick, which was understandable as the place was fairly busy.

If you're looking for a place that does both Thai and Malaysian food and you are local to Toco Hills, this place is good, otherwise try Thai Chili, Tamarind Seed, or Le Thai for Thai food or Penang for better Malaysian food.

  • Pros: Quick Service, good roti canai
  • Cons: Entrees weren't as good as some other places
