Mango salad fried bass was the best fried fish me and my family had ever eaten. All the food was amazing. Definitely going back.

We ordered pad Thai beef, tom yum soup with chicken, and mango sticky rice. All the food was delicious and visually appealing, and I was particularly impressed with their butterfly pea sticky rice - it was so yummy! However, the downside was that we had to wait for 30 minutes for just three dishes, despite there only being two tables occupied when we arrived. We noticed that people who came in after us were served before us. Fortunately, the food was good enough to justify the wait. We plan to return and try other dishes, but we hope that we won't have to wait as long next time.

An overall 4 star. My friend and I came here for dinner on a Wednesday. There was plenty of parking available and the restaurant was practically empty. I started to worry that all the glorious reviews on social media was just a hype. The inside of restaurant was spacious and the service was warm and friendly. We ordered Thai iced tea, Khao soi chicken ($18), Crab fried rice ($22), and Mango sticky rice ($16). Every dish was plated beautifully and delicious. We were informed by the manager that they found 2 crabs with roe at the market and we got one of them for our crab fried rice. That was definitely a nice surprise. The mango sticky rice had the wow factor visually, but taste wise it was meh. I wish it had been just a regular mango sticky rice (with a regular price tag).

My wife and I catered food from Mother Tews for our wedding. It is sooooo good. 5 star chef from Bangkok. Amazing service and beautiful ambiance. Thank you Mother. I feel like you raised me.

This was our first time there since it was transitioned from Thai Nakorn. Very friendly service. The server stated the same cooks were there, but it did taste different. The meal presentation was nice. The food was decent. Enjoyed the soup. The pad thai noodles are very different. The cashew nut chicken came out more like crunchy orange chicken. I had to question if this was the right plate. Overall, it was good. Like the ambiance.

Presentation was a 5. Food was a 3. This wouldn't be a 4 stars review, if my friend didnt enjoy the pad thai. My friend said this was prob one of the best in the area lol she would return to get only the pad thai. I wonder if patrons got too mesmerized by the presentation that they feel the foods were 5 stars worthy... When I saw this place on Tik Tok, I myself was mesmerized lol it made me want to drive the distance for the mango sticky rice. So my friend decided to take me lol Pad Thai - I thought it was average. It was a bit too sweet for me. Flavor was lacking. Also, there were lots of bean sprouts. Wth? I think the dish was made for bean sprout lovers. Pork Larb - the pork was kind of bland. The sauce was good, but there was so little. I can barely see it. I have to dig for the sauce or try to mix it very well. It wasn't even enough to mix the greens. Pretty much, we ate dry greens. Mango sticky rice - kind of fancy looking restaurant, but frozen mangoes were used?? The mango didn't have much flavor. It wasn't sweet and wasn't sour lol The sticky rice was a bit mushy. It also didn't have flavor. I couldn't tell if it was made with coconut, ube, or pandan. What happened to the coconut cream or coconut milk to pour over the sticky rice??? I have never seen a mango sticky rice without the coconut cream!! This was the first... The white thang on the sticky rice were coconut pudding, I believe. It wasn't even fresh coconut. It tasted ok, but I am not a fan of pudding much. The restaurant had a bad smell like a sewer or something.. Maybe the food was more quality when they first opened. I dunno... I don't think i will return...
Best Thai restaurant in Orange County. Food is outstanding and presentation of each dish is more than you expect. Better than most high end restaurants.

This place used to be called another restaurant but for the life of me, I cannot recall....anyways, food took a while to come out dish by dish. This was only the negative part, other than that, amazing flavor and aroma that excites the eyes and stomach. All the dishes has their own unique taste. Even dessert was decent, most places are cheap in quality, but our dishes were made with emphasis to make a lasting impression to remind you to cone back try other plates on your next visit.
