Soi 2 Thai Street Food: Reviews & Ratings
FAVORITE Thai Restaurant in the QC Area!! My wife and I absolutely love this place. We have had Thai food from very many places and this is at the top. The Food is incredible! Service even when busy is as fast as they can get. And I love the small two person booths! Start with the Pork Dumplings and/or Fresh Rolls both are delicious. I usually get the Pad Kee Mao with Duck, it is one of the best wide noodled dices I've had. My wife loves their Gra Pow and Panang Curry, I've had bites of both and I definitely recommend them too. Military Discount btw! Awesome place, definitely a Must visit!
This weekend we happened to be in the Quad Cities, and had the pleasure to have dinner here. This place is amazing, the food was so tasty and the service was really great. We started with the sampler, great way to try few appetizers. For the main course we tried the Basil Duck and Garlic sauce crispy pork belly, amazing flavors and highly recommend. This has been one of our best Thai food ever!
I'm from Chicago where I've learned the best places to eat. After moving and trying a few places here, I was sad. Then... We found you guys!!! Excellent food, great taste, and the food arrives HOT! I do wish the spice levels were higher, though. We had medium last time and barely tasted any heat. This time, extra spicy. We'll see. Either way, I know I will not be disappointed - THANK YOU SO MUCH!
First time writing a review so hopefully I’m doing this right. This Thai restaurant was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Every single thing we ordered from the drinks to the appetizers, main courses, and desserts was so delicious. The dishes were so good we practically licked them clean! I ate so much I couldn’t button up my pants after. The servers were incredibly kind and welcoming, always greeting us with friendly smiles and ready to cater to our taste. The restaurant itself had a cozy atmosphere with soft, dim lighting that made it feel intimate and relaxing. 5/5 I would definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back again!
Excellent. Our go to for Thai food in the QC. We usually get it delivered and it's always hot. I generally get a curry, either the panang, red or green. Had the green this evening and it warmed the belly food. Wife always has the pad thai, which she likes. Too sweet for me, but that is pad thai. Also had the Thai iced tea, which was excellent and really hit the spot. It's so hard trying new places here as it seems most of the time the food ends up underwhelming. And when you spend $40+ for a meal, being dissatisfied is terrible. So when we find a place that is good we stay with it.
We got the chicken and shrimp paid thai lunch special. Comes with soup,salad,an egg roll and crab rangoon. And this mango chicken lunch special. So good. Everything is fresh. Would highly recommend.
I eat here frequently. It's wonderful. They will make any substitution that you like. There's plenty of vegetarian options. The food is absolutely terrific. I love duck and and you can put duck in just about anything that you want. The folks that work here are kind and attentive but they don't hover and pester so you can really enjoy your meal. Highly recommend!
I've been a resident of the Quad Cities as a child of two ARMY Vetrans and now a child of two Rock Island Arsenal Base retirees as well. I went out to Arizona and came back in June of 2022 to find that my favorite Exotic Thai location on John Deer, the one across the street from the Moline Wal-Mart, had disappeared on me... Fast forward to me wandering around the revamped down town Rock Island District Area (looks fantastic btw) and BOOM Soi 2 Thai Street Food. It's 11:00, its open. Im helped immediately by a kind staff member named Annie who smiled at the reference to Micahel Jackson as well as Orphan Annie. I was assisted in choosing between Thai Tea and Thai Coffe (4 dollars for either) and I asked "Which is orange?" Thai Tea for those that dont know. Anyway, They were so patient with me as I spoke to my prayer partner who resides in Decatur, Georgia as a Missionary and President of our church — Higher Calling Ministries — i raved to her about the food while she read Jeremiah chapter 7 in EASY Version as well as KJV version, prayed for us, listened to me suggest for her dishes she herself could try at her own Thai restaurants (of all things she tried a BBQ steak lol) Anyway I was so overjoyed I had to pause before I even left or paid to write this review. They didnt interrupt my praise, the food was made like so quickly I forgot i even ordered it i didn't have to wait, it was fresh, omg I cant give enough stars!!
