Update 5/7/23: Still such good dishes. Tried something new from last time. This time was pad thai! You get to pick your heat level 1-5. The peanuts are on the side & you can add to your liking.We recently just tried them and were so happy we did. Its local, small business, family owned which means they actually care about good Customer Service and doing things right. We ordered the family meal. It was so flavorful! We couldnt substitute some items but overall still good.

Fantastic Chinese favorites with great flavor and portions. Delicious Kung Pao and sweet and sour chicken. Fried wonton were perfectly light and Crispy with a tasty filling. So Happy to have them in the SW side.

(First off, please ignore any one star or two star reviews!)It has been a long time since I have experienced such great effort in serving very fresh, and piping hot food, delivered as quickly as this place has done today. On top of that, the very good news is that the portions were so enormous and generous, that I could not finish my dinner and had to take it home....Awesome!!!And truly faithful pho, etc!

This place is definitely a hidden gem. The food is always delicious and never disappoints with authentic flavors. Portion sizes for the price are excellent. Plenty of variety on the menu for whatever Asian cuisine you’re craving. The wait staff is top notch and extremely friendly. Their dining room is always clean too!

I decided to order from here because of the ratings. The food sucked! The orange chicken barely had any meat in them. They were hollow inside. Barely any chicken in it. Then either my noodles or rice tasted burned. It had a burned taste! Not happy at all.

When I walked in was not greeted, only customer in the building. Ordered the lunch special, which showed 8.99Later to pay 15.41 don’t know what kind of tax that is. The food was not worth it, so bland. Terrible service for terrible Asian food.

WOW!! Seriously the freshest best food I’ve nearly ever tasted. Definitely the best egg rolls, best egg flower soup and best orange chicken. Good price for the family meal. All of my three other people in my party were so impressed. We all loved it

Excellent food preparation! What they offer is authentic. Great staff, helpful and friendly. Standouts are the pad Thai, drunken noodles, salt and pepper combo, and yellow curry. Comparative to other restaurants offering this pan Asian cuisine, they hold their own with lower price, higher service and quality of the dishes served.Will return often.

The lunch special (M-F: 11-3pm) $7.99 fresh, fast & tasty. I chose all chowmein w/Kung pao. Veggies were crunchy (not soggy). I loved the chunky celery. Even came with a crispy veggie roll & a side of sauce. I was just on this side of town & needed a quick bite. Would definitely recommend. Oh & the service was fast & friendly too.

I love this place. Quiet atmosphere with exceptional service, and the food is always on point! Ive been able to try a varied selection and am so impressed by the quality of my food. Everything is made fresh, looks and tastes like its from scratch. Definitely recommend giving this one a go!

First time Soy & Spice’er here and we will be back. It was a quiet Thursday night and we were the only ones in the restaurant. The decor is minimal, but clean. Booths are roomy and comfortable. Service was too-notch. My daughter ordered the teriyaki chicken plate. It was a lot of food for the $8 price. My husband ordered a two item plate, and again, lots of food for the price. I got the Pho. It was delicious and had all the normal trimmings.

Their Pho is really good. Especially the beef broth one. This time I tried the chicken pad thai and it was a bit too sweet for my taste. We also tried their orange chicken plate and we were disappointed. The food was cold and the orange chicken had too much sauce. They seem a little short staffed and they seemed to have some upset customers while we waited for our order to come out. We do appreciate the indoor seating they had available, but hopefully they figure things out so they dont lose customers in the future.

Ordered a combo plate with orange chicken and sweet and sour pork. I was very disappointed in both, the orange chicken was dried up batter didnt even taste chicken. The sweet and sour pork had no sauce or flavor. The only think ok was a Thai tea I got.

So good!! So much better than panda express or even pf changs. The food is fresh and always tasty. Ive had their potstickers, egg flower soup, orange chicken, broccoli beef, and of course chow mein and fried rice. Every time I pick up my order the food has been delicious. Definitely give this place a try!

Love this place. Has authentic Thai food. Tried the drunken noodles and it was delicious. The best Thai drunken noodles Ive ever had so I ordered a second order with shrimp and no veggies. Ann was very polite with excellent customer service making sure my food was made correctly as shes the one who cooked my food. Thank you so much for the superb food! See you soon! #bestthaifood

My favorite place to eat in town. My husband and I have been eating at this place for months now and the food is always a hit. We’ve tried the pho, drunken noodles, egg & veggie rolls, curry and so on. Servings are huge and well worth the price. The soups always last me a couple of days.

Delicious food! My family of 4 had the following items and they were all very delicious! Brisket pho, shrimp pho, shrimp fried rice, and their lunch combo- chow mein, rice, broccoli beef, and orange chicken! All the items were really good! Great lunch combo deal $6.99! The mango tea was a bit too sweet for our taste. The place itself is not big at all, but it was clean and the service was good. My kids and hubby loved it too! Will definitely come back again :)

One of my all time favorite places to eat! The pho, is our comfort soup ..we eat it often & it always makes us feel better..., when were feeling under the weather.My ALL TIME FAVORITE DISH IS DRUNKEN NOODLE SHRIMP❤🥳❤🥳🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰I GET ZERO SPICE.... they have 5 levels of spice, for those of you who like it hot. 😁Also has a yummy, inexpensive lunch special, with like 4 or 5 items on your plate. My mom and I share every meal. Good size portions for girls...not for guys though.

Quick SummaryOne of the best Thai restaurants Ive been to (which includes Thailand and LA). Quality is the name of the game here, so expect to wait a bit as nothing is pre-made and everything is made to orderFood- 5 starsI tried the green curry and the pad see ew. One of the best Ive ever had. The curry was rich, creamy and delicious. Pad see ew was cooked to perfection as well (perfect balance of sweet and savory). Portions are large here as well. Its a combination of quality and quantity so its a win-win all aroundService- 5 starsThe servers were very attentive and the chef even comes out to check on how youre doing with the food. The layout of the restaurant is simple and clean, and I did appreciate how they had pictures of the different countries which reflected the food they served (Hong Kong/China, Vietnam, Thailand). Keep in mind that everything is made to order so expect a bit of a wait for your foodValue- 5 starsBoth plates were delicious and came with large portions. 2 orders can easily feed a party of 4 and youre not breaking the bank eitherBottom LineOne of the first things I hear about Bakersfield is the lack of Asian food options. Soy and Spice Cafe completely changed by outlook on the Asian food scene here, as the quality of food outshined most places in LA. With great food, large portions, and good service, Ive found my favorite Thai food spot.

I probably would leave 3 stars cause Im not sure its worth 4. The food isnt bad. And it certainly isnt some of the best chinese Ive had. I had the combo rice, veggie chow main, fried veggie rolls and a small side of orange chicken. The orange chicken definitely wasnt made fresh to order, at least it didnt taste like it. The chicken was overly fried slightly turning some of the pieces to jerky. Lol. The flavor is good. Everything was barely a touch above mediocre. I couldnt eat all the food so Im definitely taking it home. It would be decent left overs. Ill be happy to have it later on or tomorrow! Again not quite woth 4 stars but maybe a a good 3.5! Will I be back? Lets just hope theres better Chinese around here. Lets just say I wouldnt bring out of towners here to dine. Id want better quality to show off! But over all wasnt a bad experience

Wow, it is Valentines day and I am here for my first time. I asked the chef to surprise me. I got the Mongolian Beef and I was completely impressed. What a flavor and so delicious. I believe I have new favorite Hotspot. Highly recommend....

1st time trying it, food was very tasty. I tried the Mongolian Beef, plate was full of onion and bell peppers had very little beef. That is my only complaint $12.00 meal for 5 small pieces of meat.

First time trying, placed a pick up and my order was ready in like 5 mins!! AMAZING, I got a combo plate of orange chix and chow mein, I feel like for any asian spot you have to try the commonly found food, orange chix and chow mein is that. The orange chix was still crispy and the sauce was not overly sweet. The chow mein was good, had a lot of veggies all shredded, I hate when places get lazy and cut the veggies all big, and it wasnt greasy!!! Also got the combination fried rice, which I loved, had good amounts of all the meats and they put bean sprouts in it, which was surprisingly good.

Was recommended by a friend to try this place. Me and the wife have been looking for a good chinese spot for a while now. Honestly not impressed. When we first arrived there was no one at the front we waited for 5 min. Not to much of big deal. When we got our food I asked for sweet and sour sauce and seemed as if I was bothering her 😣 and she came back with the tiniest cap of sauce as if to say here are u happy now. The food was blah, rice was under cooked. I will never hit this spot again theres gotta be a better chinese restaurant out here.

I stopped by for some Pho today 8/28/2020. The combo Pho has shrimp...something that shouldnt be there in this type of soup. In addition, the broth was extremely salty. The bean sprouts were old and smelly. I will never visit this place again.
