50 Best Thai Restaurants near Fullerton

“Love this place!! This is our third time eating here, we’re actually visiting from NorCal. Everything we’ve tried up to this point has been so yummy, the staff are very nice & the ambiance is a very home-y feel. They play relaxing jazz music & the music isn’t too loud so you can easily have conversations.
This time, we ordered the pork jowl, pineapple red curry with chicken & the pad see ew with shrimp. The pork jowl is definitely a shareable appetizer, it was more than we thought would come out & it came with a tangy spicy sauce. We got the curry medium spicy and it was the perfect spice level for us! It was nice and creamy/smooth. The pad see ew could use a little more soy sauce but otherwise also still good!
Will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Thank you Manon for the delicious food and lovely hospitality!“

“I got the pad thai it was so good and flavorful !! It was my first time so I didnt know what to expect but for $17 it was a decent portion and delicious!! The chicken was moist and tender and the noodles weren't oily at all!! Go try it :)“

“Hidden gem in Orange, CA that is hard to forget. I came here with someone very special to me and it's safe to say, they loved it as much as I did. Our server, Uma greeted us upon entering with a warm smile and she was just so lovely throughout the course of our dinner. She was very attentive and ensured that we were satisfied with the food and our experience periodically throughout the night. They truly care about their customer's satisfaction.

We ordered 1) Tom Kah (Coconut Soup), Medium Spicy 2) Fried Rice with Chicken, 3) Pad See Ew with Beef, Medium Spicy and their iconic 4)Mango Sticky Rice.

As I documented pictures of our meal throughout the night, clearly the Mango Sticky Rice dessert was so irresistible that when delivered to our table, we dove right in before photographing it. (Photos attached)

I would HIGHLY recommend the Coconut Soup as it is my absolute favorite item from this location. And their Pad See Ew is the best Pad See Ew I have ever had.

Lastly, the fried rice with chicken was made to perfection and so much so that my date and I deduced that their secret ingredient must be love.

The owners truly care about their guest experience and I can't stress that enough.

If you have the opportunity to dine in, please do so. But if you're unable to dine in, I can reassure you that once you try their dishes, you'll never forget them.“

“Thai food is a hit or miss ,and some better than others. So far Lucky Thai has been better than most, with a few drawbacks when then run out of product. All food is made fresh from my trips here. This establishment is inside the 168 Market and is very simple, small seating to eat there or you can have take out. Service takes a little time for prep in most cases, but worth the wait.“

“great food. friendly service“

“Love This here Food is great! I don't think that I have ever been disappointed with there food. Wait staff is great!“

“I have been coming to this restaurant for many, many years. Staff is awesome and friends,with majority of the staff. They know exactly my order.Even when I call they know who it is on the phone. I highly recommend to try the crying tiger and MY RIB & KHAO SOI. Mmmm sooo good 👍“

“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 best authentic Thai food restaurant in town. Lunch specials are worth to try and definitely will keep you coming back.
Our favorites are bamboo chicken and Curry chicken comes with a good portion of chicken, rice and Tom yam chicken soup as well. Highly recommend.“

“I have been to many Thai restaurants but this one stands out with tastety food and outstanding service .... strongly recommend you to try their food“

“My Yellow Curry with shrimp was delicious! All the food I ordered was scrumptious and flavorful! The food came out hot, which I loved. Their service is good, and I will be returning. Thai Belly is located inside a food hall, where you can sit inside or outside. I like sitting outside to enjoy the view.“

“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!“

“Took my team here for a lunch and we only had an hour. I had called ahead and Kim had our table reserved, got the food moving early, and we were in and out without any stress. The food was amazing, everyone on the team couldn't stop talking about it.

She also arranged a little birthday dessert for one of our team members which was a really lovely surprise.

Great spot for a group lunch or solo lunch. I’ll definitely be back!“

“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 !“

“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.“

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

We ended it with mango sticky rice and wow perfect ending to our meal. Not busy on a Saturday 2 hours before closing. Must try!“

“From the service to the food, everything was amazing! My new favorite restaurant!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I WILL FOREVER HYPE THIS PLACE!!

Everytime I go to this wonderful place, the staff are always such a joy! And the food is always so delicous. Although seating is limited, it doesnt stop them from treating you so kindly.

My personal favs are the drunken noddles, Sa Tay chicken, and all there soups... ALL OF THEM!

Please im begging try this place!“

“Good food and good service at a moderate price“

“Great Thai food nice Service 👍❤️“

“Fair prices. Fast, polite service. Really good portions. Very tasty dishes! Ask for the fresh Thai chilies condiment on the side so you can throw it on your dishes. It'll light up your world! We'll be back for sure. I think this is our new favorite Thai restaurant.“

“Fried spare ribs is to die for, pad Thai is cooked perfectly , and the golden needles for super duper delicious . Not to mention their customer service is superb“

“My group lunch order was an order of chicken satay (comes with four skewers; add in extra peanut sauce for dipping), an order of the pad thai with tofu, an order of the papaya salad (medium-spice level), and an order of the cashew nut chicken (add in extra sauce). The food was tasty, the service was decent, and the atmosphere was good. The restaurant space itself is small, so please do keep that in mind!“

“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 🥰“

“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!“

“Guys, go to fire tiger.
Best Thai food of the county. I have tried chicken pagnan, yellow curry, orange chicken, my favorite Kai Soi soup is bomb.

Super fast and very affordable!

You won’t regret it.

Don’t forget to get your mango sticky rice for dessert“

“1. The pad thai was definitely filling, and I love the crispiness of the fried tofu! The thai tea was also refreshing!
2. The spot has chill casual vibes! The interior has high ceilings!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! My food was ready after 10 mins!
Note: There is a bathroom available for customers!

“Food here are awesome!!! love it .. real Thai food. Try Pad See eww or Chicken krapraw..they are the best!“

“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!“

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

“I had a delightful experience at this establishment. It felt very family oriented and extremely friendly. The food was amazing. I ordered the Shrimp Drunken noodles (Pad kee mao). I had them add chicken and a fried egg to my order. It tasted so fresh! Its probably the freshest Drunken noodles I've ever had in my entire life. I also ordered the Laos Sausage and was blown away at the flavor. I will become a regular customer after my frist experience.“

“Have been picking up takeout from this neighborhood staple for 26 years and I know people who have been eating here since 1990. D Thai Chinese is apparently a one-woman operation; the owner takes orders, cooks, serves etc. all by herself, and she is so sweet and friendly.
I can only respect how D Thai's prices remain lower than other Thai/Chinese places in the area, although the prices have been raised in the last year or so (two dollars up per lunch and dinner special). The quality of the food however has remained reliably good, fresh cooked to order, and flavorful. I don't know enough about Chinese or Thai cooking to comment on how authentic it is, but it's pretty good in my opinion and that's what matters most to me.
I've tried most of the menu over the years and the standouts to me are the fried rice, thai basil chicken, mongolian beef, beef salads, and pad see ew. The majority of the menu is four stars, but those are the five star items in my experience.
Be advised, cash only and takeout only! For what it is -- a takeout Asian hole-in-the-wall restaurant -- D Thai is a respectable local treat that I will allow myself pretty regularly within my budget. Since the owner lady is so likeable and impressive, and the food is plentiful and decent quality for your dollar, I have to rate this place five stars overall.
Thank you, nice owner lady, for your years of providing your good food and service to Westminster's hungry and grateful people!“

“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.“

“The food is delicious...and the staff at the restaurant are very good. The owner is friendly and lovely.“

“Whenever I get a craving for Thai this is my go to spot. The food is authentic delicious and Just plain beautiful. The prices are reasonable the portions are large. The atmosphere can be busy, but comforting and relaxing, like a coffeehouse. The hustle and bustle of people coming in doesn’t distract from the atmosphere. In fact, it adds to it. I have always judged a Thai restaurant by their Tom kha kai. The first time I had it here I knew I was in for some good Thai. I’ve been making Tom kha gai at home for years now I know how it’s done and the subtleties of the ingredients. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“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.“

“Best Thai food ever! And I lived in Bangkok for 6 months last year. Their pad Thai is a must order. My family have been coming here for years. They remodeled and the place is great. My cousins and I like getting their lunch special which is a really good deal. Their servers are very attentive and fast. I highly recommend trying this place. They are very consistent. The pad Thai is always saucy and flavorful. The pad see ew and the pad kee mao are also delicious. Fried rice too.“

“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.“

“Good food. Authentic cuisine. Yum! 😋“

“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!“

“Love love the food , great service Definitely recommend!“

“I got the BBQ chicken and (steamed) rice with the ginger scallion sauce and it was so good! The chef and employee were also very nice and were available for any questions we had.
I also got a Thai iced coffee with milk and it is wow! It’s very strong, so fair warning, but also very good! It’s not super sweet or bitter - it’s the perfect in-between.
For the food and coffee (with tip) the total came out to about $24 as of January 2026. I will gladly pay that again! :)“

“It’s great 🥰 I love itttttttttttttt“

“I like the authentic Thai foods, the friendly staff and the chill band playing on Friday night... a😎😉😁wesome experience for the entire family....“

“I placed a to go order and everything was perfect. I had the lunch special and a small soup. The order was packaged well for travel, and everything was correct. They provided sauces and utensils which was appreciated. A salad was included with the lunch special. It was fresh with a great dressing. The Spicy Basil Leaves lunch was so yummy. I have to say the soup was the star of the show. If you visit this restaurant do not leave without trying the Tom Kha Soup.“
