This is the best Thai food I’ve had in all of OC. I had the spicy pork noodle soup and golden pouches, both were 10 out of 10, and the Thai coffee was the perfect accompaniment to the spicy meal! Can’t wait to go again. Excellent service too!

Great authentic Thai food in a cozy setting. They serve a variety of curries, noodles, seafood, and other classic dishes. The restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner and offers dine-in, and takeout.

Great food! Excellent service.
I didn't get it, but i tried the Crying Tiger, the best! As was my curry. We also got the fun appetizer sampler on one of our visits. Live in Big Bear, but come here everything we're down visiting.

Overall nice spot! Food was fresh/good portions. Service gets a ding due to there only being two tables and our server was more or less checked out (forgot who ordered what/had be flagged down a couple times). Plus they gotta fix those speakers cuz the entire meal there a high pitched screeching which was almost a deal breaker, had we not did our best to ignore it.

Amazing Thai Experience!
I just ate here and I’m honestly impressed. The food was super flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. I tried the Pad Thai and Green Curry – both were spot on! The spice level was just right, and the ingredients tasted authentic.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast. The atmosphere is cozy and clean, with a nice Thai touch in the decor.
Definitely coming back – highly recommend to anyone who loves real Thai food!

The quality of food here is good! We ordered spicy pork noodle, fried fish fillet, and fried banana, everything is tasty. Service is good also.
Takes insanely long for food to come out.
I absolutely love their sticky rice with coconut sauce and mangoes. There aren't many restaurants around here that they offer this dish and even fewer restaurants that make it delicious, so I love coming to Kanok because theirs is always yummy.
Although I have noticed when ordering take out, I have to remind them to put the coconut sauce in it because on a few occasions they've forgotten it. That’s what makes the dish so good. Also, on a couple rare occasions their mangoes have not been fresh, but that’s rare, and it’s a seasonal dish.
Luckily I always keep a couple of fresh mangoes at home so whenever that happens I just cut my own. I know you are paying $12-$14 for a small serving, and they should make sure it's all fresh and everything is there, but we're all human and therefore imperfect by default!
Also their crunchy fried garden spring rolls are supper yummy, as are the Crab Rangoon’s. I don't usually like garden spring rolls but their garden rolls are simply delicious!!
My second meal at Kanok was just as good as my first, some months ago. My friend (who is a local) and I have made this a must whenever I visit. The service is easy and personable as well. I highly recommend!
Omg WoW beef fried rice 9/10 stars. Chicken yellow curry 10/10 stars. Lettuce wrap 7.5/10. Crispy dumplings 10/10 stars. Crab Rangoon amazing 10/10stars. Bbq chicken 9.5/10 stars. Mango sticky rice wow 20/10 stars amazing overall.
