50 Best Thai Restaurants near Gardena

“feedback regarding my recent visit to your Gardena location on Father's Day. I traveled all the way from Orange County specifically to try your mango sticky rice.

While I found the mango sticky rice to be good, I felt the price was a bit higher than other places I have visited, and I likely wouldn't make the long drive solely for that dish again. On a positive note, I really enjoyed the coconut jellies; the flavor was great and the size was satisfying, though I believe the pricing for those could also be improved.

Thank you for the meal and for taking the time to read my feedback.“

“Good food good service nice to smile“

“Delicious, fresh, unassuming. Food is great on its own but then the spices they offer on the side? Great.

Not bodybuilding food, not protein packed, I will say that. But that's probably not why you'd come here; between, meat, veggies, rice, a well rounded meal.“

“I recently visited this small family-owned restaurant while craving Thai food. As soon as I walked in, the owner greeted me warmly and provided menus. Shortly after, the owner's son pointed out the daily lunch specials, which were conveniently listed at the back of the menu, featuring smaller portions at a lower price.

Our meals arrived in under ten minutes and were delicious. The only downside was the salad; it had a few wilted leaves mixed in with the fresher ones. Overall, it was a great spot for a quick and satisfying lunch.“

“The food was very good! I will be visiting again“

“I ordered egg fried rice, I get the same thing every time I go. She charged me with thai fried rice which was $5 more. I didn't notice till the bill came. I guess she thought I was lying but I still love the food here. I'll stick with take out.“

“The food is good, especially the noodle dishes. The restaurant is clean and the service is friendly.

Unfortunately, I bit into eggshells in the Pad See Ew, which made the experience unpleasant. I hope the cook can be more careful when preparing the dish. Overall, still a good meal.“

“Very good Pad See Eww Chicken and Chow Mein Chicken here! And also their Thai Iced Coffee and Thai Tea are also equally good here. I always place an order online for pick up and its always ready by the time I pick up. If you're craving Thai food and are near here I definitely would say to check it out.“

“Farmhouse kitchen is the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever had. On top of the food being great and delicious, the presentation makes you want to order everything from the menu. Chef Bo was so nice to come out to our table and all I can say is she was a very nice, young & talented person. She even made me a special dessert for my birthday. Thanks Bo❤️ I highly recommend this place if you want an authentic, excellent and delicious food. In addition, the place is so full of life. The decor is amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the fancy drinks and dishes on the menu.“

“"Thai District is a culinary gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The food was absolutely amazing, bursting with authentic Thai flavors that transported us to Thailand. Scott, our server, went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional. Not only did he provide impeccable service, but he also shared interesting tidbits about the area, like the length of the actual “Long Beach” in Long Beach, adding a delightful personal touch to our evening. We left feeling completely satisfied and already planning our next visit. Five stars all around for Thai District!"“

“Yes, this shop has very good service 🥰“

“I drive from Los Angeles to San Pedro just to eat his food at least once a month and this can tell you how delicious this food is I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. One of my favorite dishes is chicken, red curry mild with a steamed rice. They have so many dishes and for dessert I always ask for a mango sticky rice.“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“The food is amazing 10/10 but the outdoor patio dinning is awful. You cannot have a conversation because the sound echos so loudly and when the staff moves tables around they drag it along the tile and all of the tables have to stop and wait till they are done to be able to speak again with your table.“

“Loved the food, great experience and atmosphere“

“my favorite spot for that food...always FIRE!!! ( and the owners are the nicest people) ..I have the best time there!“

“This place served us authentic and delicious Thai dishes. The service lady was very nice and polite. We ordered a lot of food for lunch and they managed to bring them out on a good time even though there were a good number of customers. Massaman curry, pad Thai, pad sew ew, larb, fried rice, sticky rice with fresh mango, were all amazing delicious. The ceiling were decorated with colorful upside down umbrellas which made for some great pictures. Their prices were very reasonable.“

“If restaurants were books, Krata would have the world's most misleading cover.

From the outside, it's easy to drive right past this little strip mall spot. Inside? Beautiful, clean, welcoming, and serving some seriously delicious Thai food.

The Yellow Curry and Massaman Curry were both outstanding, full of rich, balanced flavor. The service was warm and attentive.

Consider this your sign to ignore the curb appeal and go inside. Your taste buds will thank you. We'll absolutely be back.“

“the thaibeef and its sauce is amazinn..just enough to taste it.....good food“

“We had a great experience! I knew the food was going to be good as soon as the owner mentioned he also used to own a restaurant in Portland back in the days. And it was!

We ordered the green beans with tofu, chicken larb, crying tiger, tom yum soup, crab fried rice (real crab!!!), and mango sticky rice. You could really taste each dishes distinct flavor!

Highly recommend supporting this place if you’re in the area. Thank you for a great meal!“

“Wish we had this amazing cafe back home. The menu? There were so many appetizing choices, it was hard to choose! 😊The food is super yummy and the people who run it are so sweet!“

“We’ll definitely come back! Everything is good!“

“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!“

“Hi Maricio! 1st visit to this wonderful place with handpainted mural. best fried tofu green curry i ever had!!! Everything is 100% fresh! tofu was tasty light fried soft inside. curry flavor had just right spice tasty coconut balance & perfect cooked veggies. bright white rice so fluffy i munched it like a side dish. see ya next time!“

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food“

“Pretty good restaurant with authentic flavors. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the dishes are interesting, like the special lobster pad Thai and soft shell crab pad Thai. The lobster one seemed especially popular, so I might give it a try next time. There’s only 1 bathroom, so good luck during rush hour.“

“amazing food and service! My husband and I used to live nearby and always came when it was Tai Silk. We now live in San Pedro but we'll be back for sure.“

“We havent been there for awhile and just dropped in today for a quick lunch. Tough to see so few tables occupied, but the waiters are just as friendly as before. Tough economy for restaurants. they still got good food at good price. Hope they pull through this tough time, and people come out to dine more often!“

“Small little thai place with the friendliest servers ever. Theyre also always playing some kind of food adventure shows on their TV and often in Asia or in Thailand. Great place for a quick bite. Good food. Good people. Good shows. I wish this place the best.“

“Authentic Thai style. Well the coffee is really authentically super sweet (exactly like in Thailand!)“

“I had lunch yesterday with friends and I ordered the eggplant dish. It was absolutely DELICIOUS and came with a salad and rice. The service was excellent and the prices are quite reasonable. I'm looking forward to a return visit!!“

“I love this place ❤️ I went here yo celebrate my 17th birthday with family and it was awsome I would come here again and definitely bring my friends and other family members here ,I recommend everyone to come here ,thank you to the employees and the chefs and the manager who works there thank you ❤️“

“muy buena comida y el servicio muy amable.“

“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!“

“Edit: They are closed till July 2026, they took the month of June for vacation! Good for them miss my soup lol

There are so many amazing things about this place, it is truly special. My husband grew up in Manhattan/Redondo Beach and has ate at both locations since childhood. We rediscovered in a recent search for soup one day about two months ago and I have not been the same since. I am obsessed.

While we have had a variety of dishes, and they are all super amazing, the first I want to personally highlight is the coconut chicken soup. I say it first because not only is it absolutely phenomenal taste wise (I like to get an extra side of broth only to sip on in the morning), the health benefits for someone like me, who struggles with gut and digestive issues, the galangal and like leaf pair with the amazing broth and slight spice from the chili is SO healing. That is partially why I get the extra broth so often, having it in the morning has been life changing. I’ve been able to eat a lot more and the last couple of years, that has been a struggle for me. This soup is a gift from heaven, for real.

We also really love the Massan (Muslim) Curry. The way these owners prepare their ingredients is such perfection. The peanuts are so perfectly boiled and cooked, and the sauce is to die for. My husband always jokes we should just get two because he essentially eats the entire thing in five minutes or less. I’m lucky to get a bite in. I also recommend adding extra peanuts. It’s an up charge but they are divine.

Any. Chicken. Dish. And I don’t say that lightly at all. I have serious issues with texture when it comes to eating, despite having an extensive taste palate…I don’t enjoy chewy textures or fat. The way these owners prepare chicken is prepared: cleaned, tenderized, cut, cooked…I have not got a “bad bite” as I call it when I get something too chewy for my liking. Their chicken is so perfect, I can actually order and enjoy satay skewers from here. I love satay but it’s rare to find a place that makes their chicken well enough that I will order it. Their cucumber salad is also amazing and I also recommend ordering an extra side of that as well.

I can’t say enough good things about how delicious and gut healing their food is. It really has helped me start to regain weight and have an appetite again after a couple of bad health years; it’s cooked so perfectly I could cry; and the flavors are just so amazing. Ingredient quality 10/10. I love this place.“

“The food was great however I’m not a fan of the younger cashier/waitress. She snatched my $20 when I paid for my food and ignored me when I asked for chopsticks.“

“The chicken curry is absolutely phenomenal. Khao Soi is the real spelling. The chicken so tender and juicy. My daughter says I can’t use these words or I’ll get cancelled but the food is GREAT. 😂 Service is top notch. Clean restaurant and chill vibe. I signed up for their rewards because I’m coming back for the fried dumplings, the pad see ew, and the shrimp pad Thai. Wesley is super fun and gives great suggestions.“

“Great food, great prices, great customer service. Been coming here for the past couple years or so, and we always leave in a better state of being than when we arrive! <3“

“Are normal Thai Cuisine restaurant of choice was closed. So we decided to look for an alternative. We're glad we did! It was late, and we were only looking for take-out. But the restaurant looked very nice, I plan to dine-in next time!“

“Lovely service from the waitress. She was very sweet and hospitable. This location is ideal for 2 people. There’s only one large table in the center of the restaurant. We ordered the fried rice and added chicken. We also got the pad see ew and added beef. Both dishes were flavorful and delicious. The only disappointment were the crab ragoons. I’m used to a thicker cream cheese taste with the bits of crab and these had more of a liquid-ish cheese with bell peppers. In all fairness, I personally do not like bell peppers. The ragoons do not deter me from returning. I would definitely come back.“

“I always love supporting my culture’s food, and Monorom absolutely delivered. Not to brag… but I think Khmer people make the best beef skewers (Sach Ko Ang), and these were packed with flavor and grilled to perfection.

The bok lahong (Cambodian papaya salad) hit the spot with that perfect balance of tangy, spicy, and refreshing. The curry was rich, comforting, and absolutely amazing—especially with the fresh bread for dipping.

If you’ve never had Cambodian food, Monorom is a great place to start. Proud to support a restaurant that shares a piece of Khmer culture with the community. ❤🇰🇭“

“Food is excellent and fresh! Their spring rolls are the best! I tried the spinach with tofu and garlic this time and it was fabulous! I’ve never had anything bad there. I Almost always get food to go- . I’ve dined in a few times, it’s nicely decorated, and not too loud, just has a bit of an odd feel for some reason.“

“Best Thai food I’ve ever eaten.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love their Garlic pepper im so addicted to that dish“

“I enjoyed the food at this restaurant. The fried calamari was delicious, super crispy and fresh. I will definitely return just for this plate alone. I had the pad thai and the beef broccoli plate. Overall the food and drinks were great. The restaurant is small but very clean and friendly staff. Plenty of parking available. No rerservation required.“

“Tasty food and great atmosphere“

“I think I've begun a personal relationship with the Spicy Beef Salad! The food is super delicious and the staff is quite nice and accommodating. Tom yumyum!!“

“Damn, The Mrs and I found a hidden jem in the city of Torrance. Very respectable elderly Lady and I want to guess her Husband are running this restaurant and they were perfect. Food was 5/5, service was perfect, the dessert (sticky mango rice) were all top notch. I cant complain about anything about this spot. Food was beyond delicious. Everything was on point includkng the mango sticky rice. Very very fair price and I am 100% returning here very soon. Just check out the prices and photos. Delicious and a must go to spot. If I coould, i would give this spot a 10/5. Just go check for yourself.“
