Chaam Eatery

February 2025. Our first time here. They've been open a mere 8 months, but I am patient, not one to rush to the grand opening. My philosophy is, new restaurants are like a fine wine that needs time to age, perfect, and improve. Finally, it was time to test the waters. So pretty inside, very welcoming and clean, lots of tables each with a little bud vase containing a fresh, red carnation, greens, and a tiny string of twinkling led lights. But best of all, we came because the 8 months of reviews were solid. So we came. We ate. We raved.The food knocked it out of the park! First came the crab fried rice. It made Mr. B's eyes roll. Real crab! Then the single serving of Tom Kha Gai soup, a big soup bowl loaded with tender chicken, mushrooms, and all the essential exotic ingredients (lemongrass, galangal, kaffirs lime leaves, cilantro, and coconut cream, etc.). The best! Finally, the big bowl of red curry with pork. Winners, all three.The thing that caught our attention was the meat in each dish. Very delicately cooked so it was moist and tender, unlike so many. But the flavors, too, were complex, as they should be. So mouth-watering. And the servings so generous that these are going to make some mighty great leftovers!Ahhh, where have you been my whole life? And so convenient too. Great service. Good prices. A total win!

very cute and intimate thai place! wanted to try a new place so we came here and i see the potential it has. our server was very nice and service overall was great.we ordered papaya salad, tom yum, pad woon sen, and green curry. wish they had some fish dishes, fried catfish or steamed tilapia everything was yummy and good portionswe asked for spicy for half these dishes and it really wasn't..pretty mild for me so i just added some spicy sauce on every bite and this pickled chili sauce which was also mild but good! this place is pretty pricey though, everything was almost $80 and that's with water being our drinks also we took the curry for leftover and the next day there was like a thick layer of oil? that coated the top i'm not sure but i tried to get rid of it before warming up because it looked very unappealing but it was still good after mixing it all up i would maybe come back if i was near and to try different things.

First time eating here since new ownership took over and I am glad they did!! It certainly received a much needed face lift. From the start we were greeted from the friendly server who I believe is Maliena. Maliena guided us through our lunch experience and frequently checked on us. Could not be happier with the service!As for the food!? I am a very seasoned Thai food eater, eating Thai food from LA, OC and IE. This place ranks right up there with the best. We ordered the papaya salad, pineapple fried rice and pad kee mao. Flavor in each dish was consistent with every bite. Spice level for medium was okay, I would like to try the next level up next time. I also cannot complain about portion size with the price, good value. All in all this new Thai restaurant surpassed my expectation. Good vibes and great food!*Just a thought, I believe it may be hard for people to realize this is a Thai restaurant due to the name. There is a sign on the window that says Thai food but it could easily be missed.

A very cute spot, very spacious, and cozy. Lots of floral decorations. Service was attentive and friendly. Food was good, I ordered a yellow curry spicy but there wasn't really any spice to it. But the server just brought me some roasted chili from the back, wuxi helped.

I am so happy I discovered some great Thai food in Riverside! Chaam's interior and aesthetic is so clean and comforting. My curry tasted amazing and I liked how I could control the spice level. My lime mojito was very refreshing and zesty!‍The service is incredibly speedy and the staff is so kind and welcoming. Not to mention our amazing server Thomas was quick to detail and handled our food well! I would DEFINITELY recommend Chaam for your next comfort meal out!! :))

If you're in Riverside and craving authentic Thai cuisine, look no further than Chaam Eatery! This hidden gem stands out from every other Thai spot I've tried in SoCal--and trust me, I've tried a lot. Chaam doesn't just serve Thai food; it brings the spirit of Thailand right to your table, using authentic ingredients that transport you straight to Bangkok with each bite. The ambiance is very surreal and clean. From the first moment you step in, you're treated like family. The owner, Amaree, greets you with the warmth of a close friend, and the staff are as friendly as they come. You can feel they truly care about making your dining experience memorable, going above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect.What's even better is their diverse menu--whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or a meat lover, they've got dishes that will make your taste buds dance! I'm still dreaming about their Pad Thai and their perfectly spiced green curry. The flavors here are rich, complex, and hands down the best I've had in the Inland Empire.If you're a Thai food lover, Chaam Eatery is a must-visit. Riverside is lucky to have this incredible spot! Don't miss out!

Outstanding food. Probably the best pineapple curry I've ever had. Perfect texture and flavor. Curry is full of chicken and chunks of pineapple. You can tell it's fresh and homemade. I really enjoyed this dish. Service is good. Nice staff and owners. Good people. Restaurant is very clean and airy. Nice ambiance and atmosphere. I will come back here. Recommended.

A gem of a Thai restaurant in Riverside. Authentic taste in a local spot. I've visited a few times and tried a few items and they've got the taste down right. Staff are friendly and the restaurant is clean. My personal recommendation is to try the Kor Moo Yang, a dish hard to find in the IE from a Thai restaurant. The pan fried noodles dishes like Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) are great and authentic. Their massaman curry is also delicious. The tom yum goong is also delicious, make sure to try the Chef's version which is flavourful and rich. Looking forward to continuing to work through the menu in my future visits.

Great food amazing staff! Would recommend and will be back again. We got the steak salad and yellow curry!

The food and service are superb! I love the pineapple fried rice, orange chicken and for dessert the mango with sticky rice is scrumptious.
