What People Are Saying About Thalia Spice

In Short – Taking its name from the Thai word for "ocean," this tucked away eatery keeps a nature-inspired theme throughout its U-shaped dining area. Vine-framed mirrors, tree-branch sconces and leaf-embroidered cloth lanterns crate an intimate atmosphere in back where an elevated lounge provides a more secluded dining experience. Favorites like Banana Blossom Salad, Thai Aroma Tilapia and an Indian Chicken Makhani served in a curry cream sauce round out the menu.

Great after Theater find on Green street and Chicago Ave
by suehed at Citysearch
We had a great after theater dinner at Thalia. The services was very attentive and friendly. The selection was outstanding, so we ended up having a number of appetizers so we could all sample everything. A couple of the favorites were the Seared Tuna, Ya Ya Noodles and Satay. The ambience is contempory with a intimate coziness.

Wonderful! Mango Seared Scallops to die for....
by RockMan240 at Citysearch
I really enjoyed Thalia. I heard about it from friends who said the food was terriffic, and there were right. There were so many great flavors. I loved everyone. We had the mango seared scallops -- the salsa was made of fresh mango and advocado. Everything was so fresh. Portions and prices are on the smaller side letting you try many things on the menu.
Service was very good; although servers are mostly asian. One of the owners even came by and gave us his suggestions. Glad we listened because everything he told us to get was fabulous. Only negative I would warn some about is that the tables are a little small and close together, but we loved the energy in the place. Really nice feel. We will most certainly make this a place to take friends. They're getting their liquor license soon, but they plan on still doing BYO Wine.
Highly recommend.
- Pros: Food, Decor, Service
- Cons: Cozy, smallish tables.

The most arrogant ownership ever - do not eat there!!!
by PaulMazurski1985 at Citysearch
The worst place to eat. Owners can easily ruin your dinner completely! You can be kicked out of your table because other people are waiting - with no apology whatsoever - horrible attitude towards customers treated strictly as a source of income, only!!!
No manners, no class, no style. Definitely overrated food and service. It was a huge disappointment and total social disaster ? my friends were devastated. It is a disgrace that owners like them are concentrating only on income with no respect towards customers. Never go there!!!
- Pros: none
- Cons: arrogant service and ownership
