27 Best Thai Restaurants near Foothill Ranch

“Everything was good but the drinking water they used out of container on back counter had a bad taste just recommend getting bottled water otherwise excellent meal“

“The Pad Thai here is the best one I have tasted so far“

“I have been coming here for years. The service and food are great! My favorite is usually the Pad Thai, but the Crying Tiger I tried tonight was also amazing. My wife likes the yellow chicken curry, which is also delicious when she shares some with me.“

“Thai Garden Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience that’s hard to beat. The Thai tea here is a must-try—smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, making it a great start to any meal. The food is amazing, with standout dishes like the chicken dim sum, which was deliciously tender and packed with flavor. The drunken noodles were equally impressive—perfectly spiced and full of vibrant textures. Beyond the food, the service was attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall experience. The restaurant itself was spotless, maintaining a welcoming and clean atmosphere throughout. On a Tuesday evening, the place was bustling with patrons, a testament to its popularity. This speaks volumes about the quality of food and service they offer. With such a positive experience, I’ll be back. Highly recommend Thai Garden Restaurant for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine in a comfortable setting.“

“Siam Thai is a family owned establishment in my neighborhood with friendly ownership and conscientious service. My favorite dishes are the Crying Tiger Salad, Papaya Salad, and the Honey Duck. The individual ingredients are superior quality and spiciness levels are accurate to the requested amount. I prefer very low spice in order to taste each natural flavor. The Boba Tea bar is a newer addition and the drinks are decorative and well mixed- especially the Taro Milk Tea. This restaurant is part of my weekly dining out ritual.“

“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 ?“

“Ahairn arroy mak ka!! Kob koon ka!!“

“If you want the best crispy fried chicken ever... you NEED to come here.

Crispy Fried Chicken: GET THIS!!
The most deliciously crispy, juicy, and mouth watering chicken you will ever eat. Paired with the sauce, I don't think it can get any better. I don't even live near here and I come back just for this.

The other items were tasty and seasoned well but the fried chicken just stole the show for me.

The service was very friendly and accommodating. And for dinner time, we were almost the only ones in the restaurant. For how good the food was, this place needs to be put on the radar!

“Best Thai food ever, especially for the price. They are quick, affordable, and delicious. I LOVE their Thai Spice fried rice and Pad Thai. If you are in the mood for Thai food, look no further and try this place!

Vegetarian options: You can get tofu or veggies with most dishes“

“Today was my first time here but the Volcano Seafood I ordered is absolutely amazing“

“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).

“If you’re in the mood for authentic Thai flavors in Irvine, Thai Kitchen is a must-visit. The ambiance is cozy, and the service is friendly and attentive. We tried the Tom Yum Soup, which was perfectly tangy and packed with rich, aromatic flavors. The Basil Fried Rice was a highlight—fluffy, fragrant, and full of savory goodness, with just the right amount of heat. Good options for vegetarians.
For dessert, the Mango Sticky Rice was a sweet, refreshing finish to the meal, with perfectly ripe mango and creamy coconut milk. The portions are generous, and the overall experience was both satisfying and delicious. Highly recommend this spot for a flavorful Thai dining experience!“

“Beautiful restaurant, amazing and creative food and wonderful service. It’s the best Thai food I have ever had! Please support this lovely and authentic restaurant so it will continue to serve the Irvine community. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Still really good food, service and atmosphere but prices continue to rise and sadly we’ll have to find another Thai restaurant that’s more affordable. Thought it was strange that Panang curry with chicken does not come with rice; we had to pay extra for a bowl of rice…?“

“Good food and reasonable price Friendly and wonderful service , definitely will recommend it 👍❤️“

“As a huge fan of Thai cuisine, I’ve found that it tends to be either absolutely excellent or a total miss .I’ve passed by Thai Café many times and finally gave it a try. The interior is simple and cozy. We ordered catfish, shrimp fried rice, and shrimp Pad Thai. The catfish was outstanding—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The Pad Thai and fried rice were just okay. Portion sizes were generous, and the staff was kind. While the dining area was quiet, there were plenty of delivery orders going out. I’d come back just for the catfish!“

“Delicious food, great service and family own business. I try Tom yum noodle soup (Thai style). Yum!!!“

“Food was amazing! Got the lunch special which includes a free Thai tea or Thai coffee. Such a great deal. Service was amazing and friendly and overall great restaurant. Highly recommend! Will def be back. Cheese wontons and crazy cashew was my favorite.“

“A good local joint for tasty Chinese or Thai food options. Staff are very friendly and service is generally quick, making this an effective work lunch destination. The serving sizes are generous and the prices were reasonable, especially for the lunch specials. I highly recommend trying the Pad Tai as it has a fantastic flavor.“

“Always our choice for Thai food!“

“Nice decent selection of options - had visited with office friends for lunch and overall the food taste was pretty good, the options were amazing and the service was quick. They do have spicy food in case you are looking for it and we had a nice flavorful Thai cuisine.“

“My husband and I came in on a Wednesday around 1pm to avoid the lunch rush. We ordered the original hainan chicken, hat yai chicken, and popcorn chicken. Order came out within 10 minutes. Everything was delicious, definitely enjoyed it best with the KMG sauce and the habanero which had a nice kick. The popcorn chicken was surprisingly very flavorful in the best way. It’s a unique flavor and unlike other popcorn chickens I’ve had. It tasted good with and without the sauce it came with and will definitely be something I’d crave and come back for. 11/10 :)“

“This is my favorite Thai restaurant in RSM. The service is always great.The menu has a huge selection of appetizers, lunch specials, dinner plates, and desserts. I get the Thai tea on every visit.The food never dissapoints. Everything tastes fresh and has lots of spice and flavor. We are allowed to sit anywhere in the restaurant. The booths are the best. Music is entertaining to listen to while eating our meals.“

“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.“
