Boon Chu is a new Thai restaurant located in the former Thai Spice location. Currently, it is quite unusual because they still have "Thai Spice" on the building, but I assume that will be changing in the near future. Thai Spice was my reco for the best Thai curries in the area, so I was quite curious to see how Boon Chu did.Well, they did fine! Flavor is still quite good. Consistency as compared to Thai Spice? Slightly thinner. But it's not nearly as thin as basically everyone else. Flavor is still there, and the mouthfeel is quite nice as well. I only tried the Massamun, but i plan to try the others. They still have Khao Soy, which is one of my favorites, so I'm excited to see how that is. Also, there are SO MANY vegetables. Honestly, I liked that! I will say, the potatoes could stand to be cut in half as they were basically quartered potatoes and a little unwieldy, but outside of that, it was a nice change to have lots of vegetables in there.As far as noodle dishes, the pad thai is still great. It is not quite as dry as Thai Spice's, which is nice, but it doesn't have quite as much flavor as theirs did either. And you can't get it with duck. But, it's still quite good, and still one of the best in the area. I think they could put slightly fewer bean sprouts in there though...I'm a fan of bean sprouts, but just way too many. The Pad See Ew is excellent! Again, for those familiar with Thai Spice, TS's had a thin gravy that had huge flavor. This is more traditional, with a sort of "darker" flavor that some people love (like me) or others may not. The noodles are thicker, and there are more vegetables, as with the curries. Personally, I like this version better, but that comes down to personal preference. I'm not sure yet if I prefer this version to Siam Deluxe in Trappe, but it's a good battle.Lastly, the Thai-style sweet and sour. Ok, so I've had traditional TS S+S before, and I've basically never been able to find it since. I've seen lots of different takes on it, and this take is pretty good. Some places bread and deep fry the chicken, this place does not, which absolutely nothing wrong with that. Flavor in the sauce is good, though the sauce is a little thin. I would prefer if they cooked it down a bit so it's a bit thicker, NOT by using a starch to thicken it up, but otherwise, it's not bad. I will probably stick with the traditional Thai noodle dishes over this, but it was worth a try.Overall, great place! I wish they would change their sign because I had no idea they had taken over, hence all the comparisons to the former Thai Spice. But hey, give this place a shot!

Really good pho! New owners are very nice but they should get a new sign. We will surely return.

Food was delicious and service was good.I had a large bowl of soup and it was indeed large! The soup was so big I ended up taking my red curry entree home and it was delicious when reheated for lunch the next day.The menu has changed somewhat from when this place was Thai Spice. The outside signage hasn't changed to the new name. When you walk in it is identical. Kind of like when Comcast "changed" to Xfinity.

The food is really good. We weren't fans of the previous Thai restaurant but I'm glad we gave this place a try!The sign still says Thai Spice so don't let that fool you. It would have been helpful if they had told me that so I didn't drive around looking for it. There is just a regular piece of paper on the door with the new name.

The food here is ridiculously amazing! I've been to probably fifty Thai restaurants on both coasts and this restaurant is in my top 2! Everything was cooked to perfection with generous portions. The shrimp were gigantic and the crab fried rice had huge chunks of crab meat in it. I'm really stoked about this place if you can't tell!
