Thai Dine Restaurant

This review will be based off experiences at other Thai restaurants.

This restaurant is tucked away in the Woodboro Avenue Shopping Center. You'll see large, red lettering that says "THAI DINE."

I called in a to-go order, so I can't comment on the interior of the restaurant. The cashier/waiter seemed nice enough when I picked up my order.

I ordered the #53 Musamun Nuea (Beef) curry, but with chicken instead of beef and the #8 eggrolls. The curry tasted great, but was alright portion-wise. It seems to suffer from the same "more meat, less vegetables" recipe that some other restaurants are doing. It had plenty of chicken, but I counted about three pieces of potatoes and two pieces of carrots in it. I did enjoy the lack of onions though.

The curry itself was as good as other restaurants. It's on the thick side, so the flavor is a bit stronger. I was perturbed by the fact the curry did not come with rice. I have never seen this at other restaurants. I suppose they are taking a page from the Indian restaurants? The amount of curry you get is about 1 2/3 cup.

The eggrolls were good. You get six medium-sized eggrolls. They were cooked well and were crunchy. They gave me a small container of sweet and sour sauce, chili sauce and dry chili seeds.

As for the pricing, the #53 was $6.60 and the #8 was $5.35. The #53 is overpriced considering it doesn't come with rice and should be around $4.00-$5.00. Their Jasmine rice costs $1.25 (small), $2.00 (medium) and $3.00 (large). The #8 I don't know, I can't remember any other restaurant's pricing for eggrolls, but I'd rather pay $4.35 for it.

If you are a curry addict and you don't mind paying extra for rice then this is a good option for restaurants to go to, otherwise I would suggest going to another Thai restaurant to get your curry fill.

Thai Dine is a very small, quaint family restaurant located a couple of blocks away from the RCC Moreno Valley campus. When you walk in, it usually is full of servicemen, and women, families, college students, etc... the crowd is very diverse. The waitresses are beautiful -and I'm not just saying that because I went to high school with these girls :) - the service is warm, friendly, they'll recommend items for you. The food is AMAZING!!!! (Try the yellow curry, red curry,pahd thai, and vegetarian egg rolls yummy) And the service is quick, even when the place was packed, I never had to wait more than a few minutes for my food. Definitely go to Thai Dine, it'll keep you coming back :)
