50 Best Thai Restaurants near Brea

“After watching a movie with BTS J-hope nearby, our group grabbed a quick lunch at nearby Thai 7 Bistro at 1:30 pm. It was pouring outside, so we appreciated the indoor dining space and that our group of five was able to fit (thanks to the other customers who swapped tables so Thai 7 Bistro could put two tables together for us).

Since it was raining, a warm soupy dish sounded good. The kao soi ($21.95) caught most of our eyes so three of us each ordered that. I got mines with beef brisket. Crispy chicken wings were an option, but I didn't want to deal with the bones and with the wings potentially getting soggy in the soup. I usually get pad see ew or a curry or crab fried rice, so I never had kao soi before. And now that I had it, it will be part of my standard Thai food order now! I love that there were noodles in this dish plus topped with crispy noodles. The soup was almost as thick as curry. Beef brisket wasn't too fatty either. It all just went well together! I also ordered a Thai iced tea ($4.50) and that was delicious, a good balance of sweet with my very savory meal.

It did take a while for us to get the check since the restaurant got busy, but we appreciated being able to pay separately for our own order rather than try to split the bill five ways with different orders.

We had all parked at the parking structure by the theater, so it was a quick walk back. There are some street parking spots up front, but we preferred the covered parking structure given the rain.“

“definitely delicious 😋 good food and great service i strongly recommended“

“Wow, great food and atmosphere. The pad see eww had one of the best char on the noodles I've ever had and I lived in SF. Great people behind the counter and very friendly. My son's first time having thai food and he loved the drunken noodles(nospice). Would recommend to anyone.“

“This place was poppin when we came. Cute Halloween decorations. Food was great! Recommend their savory roti with curry and their sweet roti. Pad thai was tasty. Branzino was really good. The sauce was too salty for me but it had good flavor. Thai iced tea was excellent. Will be back!“

“The food is very delicious, the restaurant is very beautiful, there is a lot of parking. Importantly all of the chefs are beautiful“

“This little Thai restaurant is located inside the Good Eats food court with a variety of restaurants near by. This area is so clean and very inviting for people visiting Anaheim. The ice skating rink is also very close and convenient to stop by here after the game to grab something to eat or have a drink.“

“great food. friendly service“

“The best Thai cuisine in town, Chef is from Thailand, authentic taste as well. Walked in with my husband in mid-Dec, we both are Green / Red chicken curry lovers, price is right, enjoyable food, strongly recommend. Then, got lunch special take out today, it was fast prepared. Brought it home, food temperature and taste remained Hot/Delicious as we expected. Definitely would visit or take out again.“

“We went here to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Every dish that we ordered was so delicious and had so much flavor. We really liked the tea flight. It was a nice treat to try the different teas in little cups. We will definitely be going here again.“

“Friendly service, nice decoration, clean environment and great food!

We had the angel wings( deep fried boneless chicken wing stuffed with pork, shrimp, and chicken) as appetizer. It’s a good crunch. We also have the tom kha seafood soup, very comforting and full of ingredients and spices. the crying tiger is so juicy. And the crab fried rice can really taste the wok. We also tried the new fried pork with Chinese broccoli. For dessert we have the mango sticky rice, I like how it comes with a heart shape!

For drinks we have Thai milk tea, pink milk and fresh coconut. Overall, an authentic Thai restaurant that you should give a try!“

“Bangkok Taste has been a family favorite for years, and it just keeps getting better! The recent updates to the restaurant give it such a warm, homey vibe it feels like you’re stepping into a cozy family kitchen where you know the food is going to hit the spot every single time.

The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see you. They remember faces, make great recommendations, and treat you like family. A rare thing these days!

And the food? Consistently incredible. We never leave disappointed. Our go-to dishes are the Pad See Ew, Tom Yum Soup, Yellow Curry, and Basil Beef. Each one packed with flavor, freshness, and that perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory that keeps us coming back. Every bite tastes like it was made with care and love.

Whether you’re dining in or taking out, Bangkok Taste delivers on all fronts authentic, flavorful Thai food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in the mood for comfort food with serious flavor, this is the place.

Five stars all the way. Bangkok Taste is a true gem in Santa Ana!“

“★★★★★ Lucky’s Thai Pantry — Absolutely Delicious!

Lucky’s Thai Pantry is hands-down one of the best Thai spots around! Every dish is packed with authentic flavor, fresh ingredients, and that perfect balance of spice and sweetness. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they really care about their food and their customers.

The portions are generous, the presentation is beautiful, and everything tastes homemade with love. Whether it’s the pad Thai, curries, or appetizers — you honestly can’t go wrong.

Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves great Thai food and genuine hospitality. It’s a true hidden gem!“

“My service organization regularly came to Silver Spoons' predecessor, so when we found out that Silver Spoons was open, we made the restaurant our next meeting location so we can try it out!

I usually order my go-to to test out a Thai restaurant, so I ordered the pork pad see ew ($14.95) and mild golden curry with chicken ($14.95). I would've ordered a fried rice, but the mild papaya salad ($13.95) caught my attention instead. Note that the dishes come with your choice of chicken, pork, or tofu included in the price, but if you want beef, it'll be an extra dollar, and for shrimp, an extra $2. What was surprising was that the curry doesn't come with white rice. You'd have to fork out an extra $2.50 for that. I thought everything tasted great, though both the papaya salad and pad see ew was a little heavy on the sauce.

My friend ordered mango sticky rice ($12.99) for dessert and I was surprised and happy they had that available (I went to another Thai restaurant during Christmas time and while they had the mango sticky rice on the menu, they said it was not in season so they weren't selling any). I took a few bites of it and enjoyed it -- not too sweet and not too heavy! Don't forget to check-in on Yelp for a free Thai tea.

Service was pretty good! There's plenty of space inside for small and large groups. Plentiful parking too in the parking lot.“

“They have good food and drinks, I miss the free Thai tea promotion, I don't usually order drinks because we spend over
100 dollars for our family of 4 to eat there . It's a small place so we always get it to go. My favorite is the Crab fried rice, ask for no onions, they sometimes put too many which ruins the flavor for me !“

“My favorite Thai restaurant in OC! Fresh ingredients, rich flavors, generous portions. The owners are amazing and friendly people. Highly recommend! Order more than $55 and you get free crab rangoons which are awesome - my daughter always makes sure we order enough so she get's her free order :)“

“nice and fresh and clean 👌#1 service good customer service!“

“Today I went to rodeo 39 in Garden Grove with some friends and I stumbled across Kra Z Kai's. It was my second time trying Laos barbecue. This place is a hidden gem for sure. Everything was the delicious. The ribs were marinated for 24 hours. The barbecue pork and the chicken were all marinated in the same sauce. The owner told me the service was fast and this whole ambience was nice some of the best food I've had in a long time next time I'm going to Garden Grove. I will come here again.“

“Royal Thai Orchid 9.5/10
Ordered Tom Yum, Thai spicy, with shrimp:
- Really nice level of heat (I ordered it very spicy), and there were no Thai chili pepper pods I had to fish out, so that's good, and they provided extra ground Thai chilis on the side. 👍👍
- fresh mushrooms, not canned, good amount 👍👍
- heat, sourness, amazingly delicious tasting broth, hint of sweetness to contrast the bold hot and sour flavors. All the wonderful tastes melded together, lime, cilantro, galangal, lemon grass, so completely developed and full flavored 👍👍 👍
- giant shrimp, tails on, so tender and delicious and lots of them. 👍👍👍
Bottom line, I've been hunting for the best Tom Yum in SoCal, and I have found it at Royal Thai Orchid. I was settling before, now, never more. Makes me REALLY want to taste their other menu items. Just ordered Tom Yum for the 4th time in the past week (yes, I am obsessed and yes, it's that good), but this time I ordered some stuffed chicken wings as well. Will be amazing I'm sure. 😁“

“Great Thai food nice Service 👍❤️“

“Thai food in this neighborhood have all fallen for some reason, and I thank this place for opening to pick up where they lack. I think it's great they came into a location that has very mediocre Thai restaurants around with decent ambiance but low quality food. Instead of focusing on a dine in experience, this place is all about delicious Thai take out.
The drunken pad noodles and spaghetti are great and Thai level spicy.
The pineapple fried rice is also delicious.
This is my new go to Thai spot.“

“Great menu selections Great prices Great service Great amount of food plated Great delicious food“

“the food is cook when you order. the service is great. prices are reasonable everything is delicious 😋“

“Great friendly staff! Delicious food we had wonton soup, fried shrimp rolls, and pork belly with veggies everything was a 10/10! Their Thai tea coffee and hot tea were also fire I would definitely recommend! And the bathroom here are clean the restaurant is nice and clean and the customer service was also a 10/10 I loved everything! This is me and my man’s new Thai spot to go too 🥰“

“Mine Eathai offers a great variety of food at very reasonable prices. Everything is made fresh, comes out quickly, and tastes consistently good. I’ve been a regular for years and it’s always reliable. Friendly service and a solid go-to spot—definitely recommend.“

“The Bottom Line Up Front:
Siam Station is a relatively new restaurant in Yorba Linda that serves up delicious Thai street food. It's not flawless, but it is now on my go-to list.

The Food:
I ordered the Khao Soi while my wife got the Papaya Salad; we shared the E-San Sausage.

The Khao Soi is an egg noodle served in a creamy yellow curry broth with chicken, red onions, lime, and pickles. It's fast become my favorite Thai food and I often order it as a litmus test whenever I go to a restaurant that's new to me. Fortunately, Siam Station passed the test — the Khao Soi hit the spot! It was satisfying in every way with one exception: it came with literally just a pinch of red onions and pickles in a tiny sauce plate, basically treated like a light garnish. At other places, I normally get a small plate filled with these veggies.

I'm not a big fan of papaya, but the Papaya Salad was solid. Most importantly, my wife approved. And we both loved the E-San Sausage, which is fermented ground pork, rice, garlic, and spices. It was served with a generous portion of cabbage, peanuts, and a couple of slices of ginger.

The Service:
Our server wasn't too friendly but he was polite, knowledgeable, and most importantly efficient. Unfortunately, he was short handed and had just one busboy helping him serve the entire restaurant — which meant we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated even though there was a table open. It also meant that he didn't return too often after we got our meals and we had to flag him down to get help a few times. This is not a knock on our server. After all, it was busy for a Sunday evening. This is really a staffing issue; had management hired just one more server, the customer experience would have been perfect.

The Location:
It's a smallish medium-sized restaurant so expect a wait if you come during peak hours. It's clean with nice decor and a pleasant atmosphere.

The Parking Situation:
Apparently Siam Station has several locations, but this particular spot is in Downtown Yorba Linda in a shopping complex beside Club Pilates and Apola Greek Grill and across from the Regal movie theater. There's not a lot of street parking and sometimes the open parking lots get filled quickly, but use the nearby parking structure for free and convenient parking.

The Conclusion:
Siam Station is a welcomed addition to the revitalized Downtown Yorba Linda, infusing an authentic Asian touch with delicious food at manageable prices in this down economy. My true rating is 4.5 out of 5, but since I can't give half stars I'm happy to round up. It's not perfect, but we will be back to try more dishes!“

“We love Thai food, and these flavors were top notch! Especially the peanut sauce with the chicken satay, and the spicy lime sauce with the crying tiger (beef) and moo yang (pork) specials. The mango sticky rice was good. Mango pudding more like jello.
They had some interesting papaya salad variations, too. Next time!“

“I ordered the Chicken pad thai (Medium Spice) not thai level spice so if I do come back, definitely getting spicy with extra spice on the side. The space inside makes you feel like you're transported back to Thailand (there was a cab in the front of the menu screen) and limited seating, a couple of tables outside. Overall rating, 4.6 stars for me, I know google doesn't give me the options for the point six. The pad thai was really good, not too mushy, chicken not over done and love that they added the Vietnamese chives ( hẹ) and bean sprouts along with peanuts, gives an extra crunch in every bite. (Menu are as of June 7, 2024)“

“Food was delicious and the service was awesome, our waitress was very friendly and the food was done fast. I would totally recommend this restaurant to my family and friends.“

“Everytime we come to Yorbalinda we have to stop by the Bangkok house Thai, serves one of the best Thai food I’ve ever had even my 3 year old loves it!! We usually order the same, wonton soup, shrimp chow mein and yellow curry this time we order orange chicken and OMYYYY LORD best decision of my life!!! It was crunchy, chicken was soft not too much sauce but definitely not dry. Just perfect.

We’ve also had the thai tea when I tried it I felt like I died and went to heaven, SO GOOD. Mango sticky rice just as good!“

“A small restaurant but their Thai food is GOOD!
There is a lil market next door. Love their pad see ew and their mango sticky rice. Every time I come here I try something different, they have like buffet style if you as me exploring new dishes this is an amazing place for it. The only bad thing, they only accept cash.“

“This place has amazing food! I am vegan and I had the curry with fried tofu, the pineapple rice and the coconut rice (some dishes may have been vegetarian) and the food was incredible! I had these dishes to go, but what was really superb was the hospitality of the guy who took my order he might be the owner he has a new Zealand or Australian accent, his hospitality was incredible, while I was waiting he offered me water and just amazing amazing service and the food was de-licious! I highly recommend it!!“

“The food was good, but the service needs work. We got our food at 8:56, and right after a short break, two server came over asking if we wanted boxes, which felt rushed and uncomfortable. On top of that, server kept giving us judgmental looks.“

“It’s great 🥰 I love itttttttttttttt“

“Been to many Thai restaurants in the are since moving back home and by far Tantawan is the best. Food is delicious, generous portions, and the staff is amazing. I had to wait a bit and the employee gave me a thai tea for the wait.“

“Amazing food, welcoming and friendly owners and cozy atmosphere with nice parking. Had the green curry and satay chicken. So good! Ordered the noodles with my curry. Has such a lovely conversation with the owner. Just moved into the area and adore this place already. Will come back for sure!“

“Found it by total coincidence! They served steamed spicy fish, which is my favorite Thai plate. They delivered. Don’t let the aesthetics and location fool you. This place is family-run and family oriented. I will back with friends. Halal meat is an extra touch too. Takeout available till 7:30PM.“

“The Pad see eew is amazing, the Thai iced coffee is the $*** the fried rice is also amazing. Can’t go wrong with anything on that menu and the staff is very friendly“

“My coworker recommended this place after I requested Thai food lunch. The restaurant was exceptionally clean, the waitress greeted us with a smile and was very friendly. The food was delicious and had such great flavor that I wanted to order an extra meal for dinner tonight. Everything was good and the avocado rolls is now a favorite of mine. I will be having lunch there again next week.“

“Delivery or Dine in, food is always excellent! Workers are very friendly all the time. I’ve never had any problems ordering food. Remember Thai Chili if you are in the neighborhood of Anaheim/Orange area, you’ll never be disappointed ?“

“My husband and I came here for the first time for a little date night and it was absolutely amazing!!! The ramen was incredibly delicious and honestly some of the best we’ve had. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. 🍜😍

What really made the experience unforgettable though was the service. Our waitress was beyond kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It was probably the best service I’ve ever received at a restaurant. She made us feel so comfortable and taken care of the entire time.

I can definitely see why this place has nearly five stars. The food, the service, and the overall atmosphere made it such a lovely night for us. We will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Food always great service is ok too! This is like our extended kitchen.“

“The food was great, which was unexpected. The service was great too. One of the best Pad Thai we've had. The shrimp tempura, calamari, passion orange drink, taro with boba drink, and mango sticky rice were all good. We'll definitely return here when we go to Disneyland, California Adventure, or Anaheim.“

“Our recent dining experience at this establishment was highly positive. The curry and Tom Yum soup were particularly noteworthy, and the chicken Satay was also excellent. The portion sizes were generous, surpassing those of other establishments. Furthermore, the staff provided friendly and helpful recommendations. We would certainly consider a return visit.“

“Nicest people! This is our favorite place for many years already!! Best Authentic Thai food!!“

“🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“best food and best service the staff are courteous and very polite( not like the place we went to with very impolite servers sorry i get carried away haha )but this place is perfect any time of the day Love the staff🧡“

“Great food, servings are generous & great service“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sweety Hut Thai Restaurant – West Covina, CA

We had a wonderful meal at Sweety Hut Thai! From the moment we arrived, the service was kind and attentive, and the ambiance felt inviting and cozy. The menu is extensive, offering everything from flavorful curries to fresh salads and delicious appetizers. 

We started with Chicken Satay and Fried Wontons—both were tasty, well-seasoned, and a great way to whet the appetite. The chicken satay came with a rich peanut sauce, and the fried wontons had just the right amount of crisp. 

For entrees, we went with a curry and also tried the Pad Thai Noodles. The curry was creamy, fragrant, and full of fresh ingredients; the Pad Thai was balanced in sweetness, spice, and texture, with plenty of fresh vegetables and noodles cooked just right. 

Dessert was a sweet finish—something like Mango sticky rice, which was perfect. Light, not overly heavy, and the mango was ripe and juicy. 

Overall, Sweety Hut Thai delivered on authenticity and flavor. If you’re craving Thai in the West Covina / San Gabriel Valley area, this place is a gem. Fresh ingredients, strong flavors, great service, and a menu with lots of variety. Highly recommend!“

“We love this place so much!!! Dean is delightful and treats our two young kids with such kindness. The food is always amazing, and service is the best. I can't recommend them enough for families and really for anyone who loves Asian food!“

“I like their food, free refill of thai ice tea and free fried ice cream ball.“
