17 Best Thai Restaurants near Dana Point

“The service at Thai This is beyond compare, every employee there is friendly, helpful, and helps to create a great experience whether eating in to-go. We walked in to order to-go food and they seated us and brought us bottled water, again, service beyond compare. Now to the food, the Crispy Noodles (#1) are to die for...makes a great dessert. The Nutty Noodles chicken (#54) were great, and the Kiss Me Not garlic pork was so flavorful. They also included some tempura vegetables which were super yummy. So if you're looking for yummy food, at a great price, and with incredible service, Thai This should be your next dinner night out.“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Absolutely phenomenal Thai food! This place exceeded all my expectations from the warm, welcoming service to the explosion of flavors in every dish. We ordered the Pad Thai and platter sample - everything was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented.

You can tell they use fresh ingredients and put real heart into their cooking. The staff was so kind and attentive, even offering recommendations based on our spice preferences. Cozy atmosphere, fair prices, and generous portions - what more could you ask for?

Definitely my new go-to Thai spot. Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic, delicious Thai cuisine! 🙌🍜🇹🇭 next time I am going to try Tom Yam soup“

“Thai Dara 2 is great! I went in today to order takeout for our medical office staff. I noticed a mistake when I picked up my food (likely poor communication on my part), and they fixed it very quickly and kindly. Above 5 stars on service! The food is fresh and delicious. The lunch specials are priced very well and are big portions. There are options for everyone's dietary restrictions, too, which is so great to find.

The interior of the restaurant is cozy and would be a great place for an intimate lunch or dinner.

I'm writing this as I gobble down my delicious pad Thai with shrimp, and I'm also very impressed at how well the food was packaged, it's still piping hot.“

“Ahairn arroy mak ka!! Kob koon ka!!“

“This is the best place for take out or eat in. Nothing fancy but the more important thing is we have never had a bad meal, I take it back we had bad soup one time and they remade it. The owners are incredibly kind and take pride in there place and their food.“

“Small, quaint Thai restaurant. Because the restaurant is small, they have limited seating. I was able to get a table quickly because it was after the dinner rush hour. Service was quick, and friendly. They have a good selection of traditional Thai dishes. Prices are high, probably because of location. I ordered Penang Curry with chicken. I requested additional vegetables, and was accommodated with a small up charge. The price for the dish was 20,00 and with the upcharge came to 23.00 It was served on a plate as opposed to a bowl, which I'm used to at most Thai restaurants. It was nicely presented, and came with jasmine rice, however, I could tell right away, it didn't have enough curry sauce for my liking. I ended up asking for more sauce because there just wasn't enough. It was also on the thin side. One way they can improve the dish is by serving it in a nice size bowl, and giving more sauce. I also think the the sauce could be a tad thicker. Making these adjustments would make the dish much better. Their sauce is very good, though the dish needs double or more of the curry sauce than it currently comes with. I also ordered desert, an inexpensive pudding. 3.00 and it was delicious. With tax and tip, my bill was just over 34.00 Street or lot parking can be difficult during busy times.“

“Excellent local Thai food place, the lunch special is very reasonably priced, well portioned, and comes with soup, salad, and rice. Everything we tried was tasty, however I would recommend not getting the lemon chicken as it appears to be just chicken scraps deep fried instead of actual pieces of chicken. Service was acceptable, staff were generally friendly. The pad Thai and crying tiger were well liked by my party as well as the broccoli lovers. Overall if you enjoy Thai food this is a good option for your next dining destination.“

“I've been going here for 13 yearsThe quality of food and service has never taken a dip in that time.As long as they are around they will always be a staple in my culinary Rolodex -

Kid-friendliness: The staff all love my two boys - They will always bring a little something for them out if They get restless while waiting for the food ?“

“New in town and visited based on reviews. Food is amazing! I thought I had good Thai food in my old neighborhood, but this is better. The Pad Kee Mow was perfection, service friendly, warm and prompt. Setting isn’t fancy, more like eating in someone’s home. But it adds to the charm of the place. I’ll be a regular for sure!“

“Have ordered take out from here a few times. If you are vegetarian/vegan be sure to let them know before ordering. They accommodate and replace the fish sauce even. We ordered:
panang curry with soft tofu (5/5 - tasty)
green curry with soft tofu (3/5 - bland, no veggies besides bamboo shoots)
crazy cashew with veggies (4/5 - a little sweet and bland).

“This is one of the best Thai restaurants I have been to. The Drunken Noodle is always our top priority, SUPER DELICIOUS!!! Because they use FRESH ingredients. Usually, I ask for less oil and they did it. The service is also wonderful!!!The Crying Tiger is yummy.......Ask for medium rare. The Thai sampler is also great !!!.....You can taste many kinds of appetizers in 1 order. The Thai ice tea in this restaurant is the best Thai tea compared to other Thai teas in other places. One more thing, the Angel Wings are super big and inexpensive. We ordered Pineapple fried rice for a friend and he said it's delicious!!!We have been a regular going to this restaurant for more than 10 years with those same orders and never get tired of the food.“

“Pat and her sister do an amazing job running Siamese Express. The food is delicious and the prices are more than fair. My favorite Thai restuarant between Laguna Niguel & Aliso Viejo.

Parking: Plenty of free parking close to the restaurant.“

“Husband and I was driving cross country and we slept close to this restaurant about 11 mins of walk and the food is pretty good. We ordered it for takeout. They didn’t give us any utensils and napkins at all which they should for take out but it’s ok. Good thing we pack our own utensils. All the food that we ordered was good and spicy.“
