50 Best Thai Restaurants near Downey

“Had lunch here. After spending a month in thailand, I really missed the food.
The food was great, the people are nice, and it all came out pretty quickly! But that's how it is in thai restaurants in thailand.
Had the spring rolls, pad see ew, and tropical iced tea. All were great.
Nice place, will visit again. 👍“

“We found this place after spending the day with our family at adventure city, and man are we glad we did! Today was our second time going and this will forever be our go to spot! From the first visit we were greeted with a warm welcome. Keep in mind we were a big party, 4 adults and 3 kids.
Our waitress was pleasant and very informative, she gave us menu suggestions for the little ones and recommended shareable plates. We struggled for many years trying to find an authentic delicious tai restaurant so when we got our food we were blown away. We ordered the drunken noodles, Tom yum soup, sea food soup beef and broccoli, rice and chow mein. Everything was delicious and in generous servings.
We also got the sticky mango rice for dessert, The dish was fresh warm, soft and sweet, everything you can ask for in a dessert. Im glad to say that the second time around was just as good. Im leaving this review in hopes that others find this delicious place! Cant wait to go back. Its become a family favorite.“

“I shall Thai my best, to find something good for lunch

Occupying the former location of Hanako, we've dined at the second previous tenant of this address, prior to Hanako. I've been meaning to come by Pudtarn Thai Cuisine because I'm a huge fan of Thai food, and Lunch Specials are an affordable option. This day seemed just the moment to try another local Thai restaurant for takeout.

Lunch Special Pad Thai-
Choice of protein (beef + $1, shrimp + $2), with rice, salad & egg roll. Oh, how have I missed pad Thai. Pudtarn's version hit the spot for my Thai food fix. Had the perfect amount of sour to sweet. Portions were generous, too.

Chicken satay-
Five tender, succulent sticks of chicken, served with creamy peanut sauce. Great accompaniment to the noodles, the pieces of chicken were delicious, especially when smothered in the sauce.

Service was good. A good amount of seating inside, the wait for takeout wasn't too long, since I was the first customer of the day. Parking can be somewhat difficult to come by, as some spaces are designated for the business in front of them. Hard to find on it's own, Pudtarn Thai Cuisine is located west of the car wash on the corner of Bloomfield & Centralia.

Pudtarn Thai Cuisine is a solid Thai eatery, and I'm definitely looking forward to visiting, again, in the near future. Their lunch specials are affordable, and provide an ample amount of food. Pudtarn Thai Cuisine has earned their spot in my food rotation list.“

“The food was delicious! My friend recommended it and we decided to eat there for lunch. Our refreshments were served in a cute mason jar. We shared chicken egg rolls for an appetizer. My friend ordered tom yum soup with shrimp and I got Thai Boat Noodle. I am definitely going to eat there again and bring my family.“

“Have lunch with co-workers every week here. Great food and very friendly service. Best Thai food I've found in the South Bay area!“

“Highly recommended by another fellow Elite Yelper so we decided to check it out. We had a good experience, both food and service were very good.

We started with Chicken satay and the meat was very tender and tasty.

Pineapple fried rice was a very generous portion (not served on a pineapple) and very good. You can taste the fire power on the fried rice that you can’t make at home.

Green curry with beef is tasty, but probably better to pair with shrimp or chicken or tofu.

The seafood hotpot was slightly more sour than what I’d like (this is normal and expected as my stomach can’t tolerate acid very well, and mentioned ahead of time), they gladly took it in and mild it down for us. It came out a bit later and it was delicious.

Service was excellent, it was pretty busy with all the tables taken, everyone was courteous, caring, and helpful.“

“Best Thai food, Very good service, and clean dining place“

“We tried this Thai restaurant for the first time, and our experience was amazing! The taste and quality of the food were excellent. Our favorite, the Tom Yum Soup, was absolutely delicious. We also tried the Spicy Basil Clams for the first time, and they were incredibly flavorful and mouthwatering. Overall, it’s a great restaurant if you enjoy authentic Thai food. We would definitely visit again!“

“Tastes absolutely delicious and exactly the same as it did 30 years ago! Teriyaki chicken, order the #1 and you'll be happy!“

“Great food service and price Very clean atmosphere too!“

“Rice Street Food was really tasty - everything was excellent! We had the sausage, egg rolls, and wings for appetizers, and for mains we had the Ancient Lad Thai Seafood, pineapple fried rice, and my son had the teriyaki chicken bowl. We finished with mango sticky rice for dessert. Everything hit the spot perfectly.

Only small thing was the owner took my cup for a water refill and never came back - we joked with him about it after. Wasn't a big deal at all, we just walked to the cooler and grabbed a soda lol. Will definitely be back!“

“The atmosphere and Sid the owner so friendly and makes you feel so welcome ...awesome food and love the Thai ice tea“

“Did not expect to be this nice because google image show a very simple restaurant. I went there yesterday with my family we were looking for Thai restaurant near by my house. I just move here for school so not familiar with area but my family want to eat our culture food. I am on a budget and this place coming with high rating. I like it a lot. Service was good. Crab fried rice for $13.99 is to die for. I usually spend closer to $20 for crab fried rice else where and they even use the real crab. Chicken wing are amazing. Red curry is also taste like home. I will definitely coming back. We sit there for closer to 2 hours and my nephew was entertain. They have games for kid and coin machine too. What a good find!“

“A nice Thai restaurant that offers musical entertainment over the weekends and karaoke.

Food is always good here but service sometimes can be lacking a bit if they get very busy. We got basil chicken and green curry here and both were very good. However , they missed the mark with their dessert serving - Mango with Sticky rice. The mangoes were sour and that completely derailed the dessert.

Overall - a good little Thai restaurant that does the job !“

“The Best Thai Food in Long Beach 🏖 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Absolutely wonderful experience! Staff was super friendly and attentive and helped us with any questions we had. The food was very fresh and flavorful! The papaya salad was so delicious and the presentation was lovely! I should have taken a picture but I dug right in!“

“Great Food and service very reasonable.“

“The best. We’ve been coming to Thai Express for over 25 year, from back when their place was at the foot of Mount Washington. Thai is the sweetest. When I was pregnant, she’d slip my husband an extra treat for me for good luck. She creates special vegan dishes for us. Their Tom yum veggie perfectly balances spicy and sour, with intense kaffir leaf flavor. The yellow curry is decadently rich. We count these wonderful folks as extended family — love them!“

“Was working nearby looking for dinner to go. Asked if they can accommodate for gluten free, certain menu items yes(confirmed with an older woman, she was super sweet).Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai, Pad Woon Sen, and one of the salads. AMAZING! Best Thai I've had in a decade, especially for my allergy. I will be back and will continue to order from here“

“i had the dinner special yellow curry with pork. it has carrots and potatos in it! it also comes with rice and a salad :) cheap and filling! also if your like me and dont really like heat then get the mild option. its tolerable!“

“Very delicious array of food. The staff were very friendly and courteous. Food were cooked as you order them. We enjoyed the food. It is a mom and pop restaurant that serves great food.“

“They really need to update their hours, the food is awesome, but I came here on Friday at 2:25pm and the gal at the front desk said they close in 5 minutes. Their hours on google is incorrect. Very disappointing! I drove 20 minutes to get here 😕“

“I wanted a to-go (takeout) Thai food option. I decided to get the chicken pad thai; it was good! A tip I would recommend is that you should definitely squeeze a slice of lime on the pad thai, add the crushed peanuts, and add at least one soy sauce packet BEFORE mixing it well.“

“The food is fabulous every time I try to call in an order. Nobody wants to pick up when I go to pick up the order. They don't recognize females as much as they recognize. Men.
For example, I'm standing there 15 minutes. Waiting for the lady to ask me what I'm there for and she didn't, so I sat down to wait. A man came in and she instantly said, are you here for pick up or to eat?“

“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.“

“Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Not too busy for lunch. Servings were sizeable perfect for sharing . Free Desert is served after the meal. No my cup of tea but my mates thoroughly enjoyed it. The restaurant is somewhat dated but it was clean throughout. Don't pass by this place of you enjoy Thai food 🫠😊“

“My Wife & I tried this whole in the wall and were amazed by the amazing food served here. We’ve passed by this place so many times & we couldn’t believe what wonderful flavors are available here!

We tried the Spicy noodle dish with chicken which was tasty with a forgiving spice to it.

In addition, we tried the Tom Yum soup with veggies & tofu. This soup could win awards… The flavor was BOLD and exploding in that flavor.

We can’t wait to come back for more!“

“Our first night here in Anaheim and decided we would order takeout.
Foubf AM Thai Fusion on google and it was justvaround the cirner from where we were staying. We.ordered a starter a main dush and fries ruce dish. The portion sizes were very large and the food tasted amazing and great value for your money.“

“I really like their food 😋“

“Best Thai food in LA! 🔥🔥🔥“

“cozy little restaurant with great food. cold beer“

“My wife and I came here on a whim and we were pleasantly surprised. First time here and instantly turned into our new Thai go to restaurant. The food was excellent, huge portions, and great pricing. Good thing we came at 5pm because the crowd filled up the place pretty quickly. You can't go wrong here, just don't come for dinner rush hour!“

“Wonderful spot. They have happy hour from 5-7 everyday so we order the crispy dumplings and edamame to start and shared a Khoa Soi and papaya salad.

Everything was good but the papaya salad was a standout! It was so refreshing and packed with citrus flavor. We chose mild heat which was the perfect spice for us. We will be back to work our way through the soups but will keep the salad in rotation.

They also offer a nice clean patio space and comfortable bar seating which is where we chose to have a view out the windows. Came on a Monday evening and there was no wait. Service was great and attentive.“

“The food here was honestly so much better than expected and definitely worth the visit. The location may seem a little rough at first glance, but once we sat down and ate, none of that mattered because the quality of the food and service completely stood out. The portions are large family-style servings, easily enough to share between a few people, which made the meal feel like a great value. I also loved the cute porcelain Chinese-style takeout boxes they used for the steamed rice — such a small detail but really memorable. The service was excellent throughout the meal, with the server checking in multiple times to make sure everything was good. He even noticed he accidentally brought the wrong fried rice and corrected it before I even realized it myself, which showed real attention to detail. Overall, the experience felt welcoming, generous, and genuinely satisfying. Definitely a place I’d come back to again.“

“Un lugar muy limpio. Y la comida muy rica. Su personal muy amable .Es un restauran familiar.“

“Step into Mama Mae Ting's stall and you will be transported into an authentic Bangkok soi eatery (street stall). Somtam is fresh, crunchy and seasoned as spicy as you can handle; the BBQ chicken (gai yang) & BBQ pork (mu ping) are super savory and juicy (and conveniently served on sticks)..be sure to ask for sticky rice with that! Missed out on the kanomkrok but will save that treat for my next visit. Super arroy di mak-mak!“

“Beef khoa Soi was pretty good. You don't find this dish at many places. We also did chicken larb, and chicken panang. Both were very good! Only conplaint was we only got 1 tiny thing of rice. Other than that, i will be back for sure and ask for more rice lol.“

“Ordered a quick bite since we were on our way to a concert. They had our order ready by the time we got there and it was still hot. Staff were chill. Plenty of parking available. The pad see you tasted as expected. Would come back again if we're in the area“

“The food is like I am in Thailand. So delicious. The restaurant is big, clean and comfortable! The service is fantastic. They are all wonderful, especially Jenny. Highest recommendation for Tantawan! Try it, you’ll love it!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“We ordered the tom yum, pad see ew, real Thai fried rice, and papaya salad, and every dish tasted so authentic it took me straight back to the streets of Bangkok. The flavors were spot on. Even the free Thai iced tea for dine-in customers was amazing. Definitely a place I would come back to.“
