Love this place! The food is thoughtfully elegant without being over the top on hot and spicey unless you want it that way. The cups of soup are delicious and perfect compliment to main dishes. Not the place to dine if in a hurry as food is cooked to order, and takes longer to expedite than larger scale restaurants. But totally worth the wait! They do offer delivery if you prefer to eat at home.

DO NOT EAT HERE. I have never seen my parents this sick from food its honestly a little scary. An entire weekend away ruined. They even missed the wedding they came all the way from Georgia to attend. AVOID THIS RESTAURANT AT ALL COSTS. My next stop might just be somewhere legal.

Had yellow curry tofu and peanut sauce spinich and tofu. Peanut sauce was much sweeter than Im used to. Vegetables were reasonably fresh. Service was acceptable. Finishing with an pineapple ice cream was pleasant. A low key interior and meal. An inexpensive meal that was enjoyable.

I got tom yum soup& pad see euw. Soup was good taste 5/5.The PSE was small & missing oyster sauce. Kinda on the dry side, which isnt real Thai, still eatable as stirfy noodle dish.. but was expecting PSE; also pricey for the portions.. small.

I order lunch from Chada often. The food is always delicious. you cant beat the price for their lunch menu. Its cheaper than Mcdonalds and after one meal with Chada you will never go back to fast food. Service is always friendly and very quick. Try this place out and you wont regret it. Thank You!Daniel Bell

Great home made Thai food. The owners are very friendly and the food is delicious and authentic. We ordered the Pad Thai, crab fried rice, and Pad Krapao, all of which were very tasty.We first tried Chada Thai in the fall of 2018 and Im happy to say they quality is still fantastic in 2022. We have tried several other Thai food options in Palm Springs but I recommend supporting this local restaurant which is only take out now. We walked in, ordered and it was ready within 10 minutes. Thank you for serving the true flavours and spices.

This is by far some of the best Thai food Ive ever had. Their Pad Thai is on point, and theyre mango sticky rice is absolutely phenomenal. My favorite dish is the Mixed Vegetables with steamed jasmine rice. It is my Thai soul food. I SWEAR it cured my covid 😊 I highly recommend this restaurant!!!

My husband found this place and the food was delicious, fresh and some of the best Thai we have tasted. We had the papaya salad and it was very fresh, not soggy as some we have tasted elsewhere. He had green curry and was very tasty and well prepared and not too spicy. I had yellow curry with steamed tofu and it was so yummy. We had enough to have for breakfast the next day. You wont be disappointed if you love Thai food, we highly recommend this place and will go back again.

Consistently the best Thai food in Palm Springs. We have tried them all and this is the most consistent. Very reasonable prices considering the great quality and portions. Great, fast service.

We came early on a Sunday, so the place was quiet, but not empty. Food was fabulous and they accommodated our request for a vegetarian version of one of their typically meat dishes. Spiciness of the food was exactly where we like it. Service was friendly and prompt. Prices were reasonable.

Food was really good. But was surprised there was only take out as they supposedly cant find staff to open the restaurant service.

I love their fried rice and their Wonton soup with shrimp and cabbage. So so good. I order these 2 every time. Their location is not very big. Because of that I like ordering from them using Postmates. They’re pretty quick with their online orders. The food is still steaming when I receive it. So tasty !

Review №17

2020-02-08 19:16:46

Very good food. What I enjoyed most was what was not in the food - no excess salt/sugar, no cornstarch. All very fresh in our dishes. We were able to finish what we ordered, so portions are not excessive, but tasty. I would say just right.

Delicious 5 stars all the way full of flavor. Owners very sweet people. Best Thai hands down from Palm Springs to L.A .

Awesome! I ordered take out, but wish I had stayed- beautiful and cozy space. Without my even asking, when I ran late to pick up dinner, they remade the main dishes so theyd be fresh. The food had great flavor and everyone was super nice to boot. Definitely recommend it.

Went for lunch. Had a beef vegetable dish. Saturday menu--so no lunch specials. A bit higher priced than other Asian restaurants here in the valley. Veggies, fresh and well prepared, the few slices of beef were moderate at best, one slice not even edible (tough). Probably wont be on my go to list. Too bad, because the place is attractive and service attentive.

Review №23

2018-12-28 20:36:15

The manager/owner argues with you about what you did or didnt order, and refuses to acknowledge when hes made a mistake or been unclear about things. The food took nearly 40 minutes to reach our table. Food was average. There are much better options just down the street. Try Thai Smile or Peppers Thai for a better experience.

Review №24

2021-11-24 04:19:54

Ordered 2 dishes: one mild, and the other spicy (spice level 4). Made it a point to explicitly call out the spiciness levels of both. Turns out, they made both mild. :-(Both the panang curry and the chow mein had very few veggies; so was disappointed as a vegetarian.

2018-05-16 19:20:02

This man is the rudest man I have encountered at any restaurant. We ordered from here two nights ago. I got the spring rolls and they were okay, but not great. My husband loved their wontons. We ordered again tonight and I made sure we ordered the egg rolls. When my husband got back with the order, I got the spring rolls again. I was listening while he placed the order. When I called to tell the owner, he argued with me and would not let me talk. When I asked him to allow me to talk, he hung up on me and would not answer when I called back. I used my landline and he answered and had to admit he hung up with on me, then hung up again. I have left only positive reviews with 1 other negative review. I would never do business with this restaurant again.

Called ahead a 2-item order for pickup. Gentleman on the phone told me it would be 30min so I said to please disregard my order because I couldn’t wait that long and would order from another place. He then said he’d have it ready in 20, so I accepted. My partner arrived to grab the order 20min later and she was told they didn’t actually prepare the food. Very frustrating. Hope to give them another try

2019-11-27 21:53:25

The food is about average in the valley. the price is lower than average which is why we come here more often. The fried banana with ice cream was bad, the banana breading was doughy and chalky and the coconut ice cream had ice crystals. Service was slow for a lunch hour with 3 tables.

Did takeout from this restaurant for lunch and then dinner again because the food was great. Food smelled super nice too. We got Sweet Thai Basil, Pad Kee Mao and Spicy eggplant.

Review №29

2018-07-02 01:57:55

The food is tasty, flavorful, and definitely reminiscent of Asian street food. There are also off menu dishes you should ask for, which are lovely surprises. The ladies who cook in the open kitchen know what theyre doing. As they say in my family and in African American culture,they put their foot in it -- the ultimate compliment. Though the place can get busy, they work fast to get you food. The one draw back--for such small plates its a bit pricey and could be too expensive to feed a big family. But if money is no object order away. You will be happy.

Since this place is conveniently located about 1000 feet from my front door I really wanted it to be, at the very least, moderately good. Alas, it isnt. Which is not to say that the food here is bad. It isnt. Its just not very good Thai food, and Ive eaten a lot of it, from Phuket to Honolulu. I have ordered from here three times, each time ordering something different in hopes that I would discover a dish worthy of a good review, Each time I have been disappointed. My last order consisted of Cashew Nuts with Beef, and Pad Kee Mao with Chicken. The beef dish was bland, with the cashews seemingly boiled in to the dish, which left them soft and soggy instead of firm and crunchy, as I have experienced this dish elsewhere. The Pad Kee Mao was even worse. It was completely void of flavor. It was as if the chef forgot to add any seasoning. No saltiness, so savoriness, no heat or spice. Nothing. Its like it was a movie prop. It looked good, but it had no discernible taste. If this dish was a car it would be a Nissan Versa. Yes, it may get you around, but it is completely devoid of substance or style. The few wilted basil leaves that were there could not save this dish. I resorted to throwing a tablespoon of Grandmas Sauce in to it just to make it taste like something.In short, this isnt bad food. All the ingredients were fresh. This just isnt good Thai food. I havent tried their curries, which I will grudgingly do at some point. Something on this menu must be edible, right?

Review №31

2018-01-09 02:32:54

The meat in the food tastes frozen, cooked, refrigerated, then cooked again. Green curry at 5/5 spiciness had this weird sickly sweet taste that over powered the spicy. The chow mein tasted like the sauce was watered down soy sauce mixed with oil. The server crams you Into a corner with everyone else even though the place is large enough to have privacy between tables. Poor food, poor experience.

Located in North Palm springs, it is not busy. But having eaten at most of the Thai places in PS, I rate it the best.Quiet, great food, timely service and fire times, clean environment, I eat here as often as I can.

Family-owned food is outstanding service is excellent its a little tiny bit out of Palm Springs but well worth it. Took my friends from out of town there they ate vegetables they would normally never eat and said that there Cuisine was out of this world you have to try it and the price is right and you get a lot for your money I cant say enough about how fabulous it is!!!!!

Food is good, but first time ordered we asked for no fish sauce and they had no problem. Second time, I was told they make it prior and can’t take fish sauce out. I said thank you anyway and was hung up on. Rude experience

Best Thai foods in town. They only do take out due to CoVID. If you want to support local business, please order from them. They have lunch special.

Hidden gem for Thai here in Palm Springs. Glad we found it. Its a little farther out from where all the other restaurants but worth it. Quick service, really good food, great price and easy parking.

Disgusting place. I ordered the roasted duck for $16. We sat at our table for about 5 minutes. I heard a microwave ding; then the owner/manager came out with my duck dish. It tasted rubbery so I asked the owner/manager if he had microwaved my food. He admitted that he had made the dish earlier in the day and simply heated it up for me. WOW!I told him we didnt go out to eat microwaved food.We walked out and left. He had the most confused look on his face almost as to say I dont get it....you dont like microwave food?

I went there on an early Tuesday evening, got my food to go, and ate it about 2 hours later. It was delicious. I got tofu pad thai, sticky rice with mango, and iced coffee; my husband and I shared, and we were both full.

If you are looking for a full mouthgasam than Chada Thai is for you. The flavor and visual presentation is incredible not to mention the pricing.
