50 Best Thai Restaurants near Harbor City

“KRATA has become my new favorite Thai spot close to home. The restaurant is clean, quiet, and has such a nice atmosphere. Everything we've tried has been delicious. The Garlic & Pepper Shrimp is a must order, and the Thai noodle soup (Khao soi) was so comforting and full of flavor. And don't skip the mango sticky rice! it's easily one of the best desserts on the menu. I'm so happy I don't have to drive all the way to Gardena every time I'm craving great Thai food!“

“Me and my husband came in to get some Thai food and it was soooo good! We ordered a sea food soup that came with mushrooms, calamari, fish, shrimp, and muscles. The pineapple fried rice came with shrimp, chicken, cashews, onion, and pineapple. and safe to say we will definitely be going back! The waiter was super kind and sadly is was very empty more people should give this restaurant a try! If you are in the area please stop by and try their food it was delicious!“

“"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!"“

“Good food good service nice to smile“

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

“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.“

“Pad See Ew is delicious! 🤤 their Thai tea is great too!!!“

“I accidently place an order ,on line.
But unfortunately I dial the wrong Thai restaurant..I called the place and was attended by the owner . He was very polite and understood my mistake. He went ahead and cancelled my order and refunded any amount charged on my acc. I'm very thankful for that.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Wonderful cuisine and staff ! Ordered the yellow curry with chicken and the green curry with salmon ! Also got some pad see yu noodles with some white rice . Everything was amazing including the decor ! Met the owner and he said Noone had ordered the green curry with salmon and he was impressed so much he gave us a free mango sticky rice !!! Very nice place and crew !“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Monday, June 1, 2026 - You probably don’t really know this about me 🤣😂 so let me tell you… I absolutely love Thai food 🍜🌶️❤️ I’ve eaten at many Thai restaurants over the years, and while I’ve found a few favorites around Orange County, Long Beach Thai Restaurant was truly an unexpected treasure find ✨

Tucked away in a little strip mall on E Anaheim Blvd., this cozy and super clean spot completely surprised us 😊 We ordered the Rad Nah and asked for the flat rice noodles to be extra charred, just the way I love them 😄🔥 Along with that, we had shrimp Tom Kha Koong, spicy watercress chicken with chili oil, fried spring rolls, and Thai iced coffee 🥢☕🌶️ Everything was delicious, comforting, flavorful, and one of those meals where you keep saying, “just one more bite” 🤣😩😂

What made the experience even better was Kunlaya, aka Ein, the owner/server 🌹 She was warm, gracious, friendly, and so fun to chat with — never missing a beat 😊 You all know how I am… food somehow always tastes even better when the people serving it are kind-hearted, welcoming, and top notch ❤️

Of course, this is just based on my own experience and personal taste… and I’ll admit, I’m pretty particular when it comes to food 🤣😂 So when I say I enjoyed it, that really means something coming from me 😊🍜✨

Definitely one of those hidden gems I’d happily drive back for again“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“My first time trying this restaurant, and it did not disappoint! I’m usually very particular when it comes to the taste of Chicken Tom Yum, but theirs was on point. The service is great, and the staff are very attentive. My food was fresh and came out very quickly. I also tried Mango Stick Rice for the first time, and it was very tasty. Only downside is that it wasn’t cold, but i’m not sure how it’s supposed to be served. The Thai Tea was also very delicious and all servings were generous. I will definitely be back!“

“Listen listen listen !! Cambodian woman here came from Boston mass came across this place looking for spicy food in the area on a work a trip And let me tell you !!!! I have never came across a place that offered salty crab in the papaya salad ! I fell in love instantly! Keep doing what yall doing cause you’re doing it absolutely correct ! ♥️♥️♥️♥️🥹

P.s I had it all to myself and had leftovers do breakfast! A true Asain if you know you know ! Periodt !“

“The food is great! Might be a little bit too sweet. Overall is nicely cook with great taste.

The staffs are so nice. Always having smile on their faces and paying attention to details.

**Must order shrimp fried spring roll, not any regular spring rolls that you ate.“

“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 very good! I will be visiting again“

“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.“

“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!!“

“muy buena comida y el servicio muy amable.“

“I went to have a late lunch / dinner by myself. The food was hot and fresh and very tasty. My server was very friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed my meal and my dining experience. I will definitely make this one of my favorite restaurants to go and visit and eat.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 think this is the only Thai place I can bring my parents to. No major complaints from them, which is a damn near impossible feat. Will need to come back to try the specialty dishes. None of the food was too sweet, salty, or greasy. Lovely atmosphere for a dinner. Plenty of parking.

We got the Panang curry, Ka Pow fried rice, and Pad Thai“

“Now we don't have to go to Thai Town to get tam khanun (underripe jackfruit dip/salad) and other northern Thai specialties! Easy ordering from their website online, easy pick up. Just watch out how spicy it is, it's spicy for Thai people. The lunch combos are a great deal. The fried shallot turmeric rice was so fragrant! I'm not used to getting sticky rice that tasty just by itself.“

“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“

“One of the best thai spots we ever ate at. Fresh ingredients, in house made sweet and sour sauce. We had the chicken Tom Kah and the Krapow with ground chicken a fried egg. With a thai ice tea and boba. Amazing food and service. We will def be coming back here.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“We accidentally found this restaurant while on a trip in Long Beach as I was craving Thai food. We had the Baked Mussels, Tiger Wings, and Shrimp Fried Rice—all of which were fresh, flavorful, and authentic. We ended the meal with the Tiramisu and it was absolutely delicious! I would definitely come back.“

“Best Thai in Bixby Knolls!“

“I visited Noodles & Company for lunch and had a quick, simple, and satisfying dining experience. The restaurant had a clean fast-casual setup with an easy ordering system that made everything smooth and convenient. It felt like a good spot for a fast midday meal without any hassle.

We ordered a mix of noodle bowls including pasta, stir-fry noodles, and a side of garlic bread. The food came out fresh and warm. The noodles were well-cooked, the sauces were flavorful, and everything felt light but filling enough for lunch. Portions were balanced and consistent with a fast-casual style.

Service was fast and efficient, and the staff handled orders quickly even during busy hours. The overall experience felt easy and straightforward.

Overall, Noodles & Company is a solid lunch option if you want quick pasta or noodle dishes in a clean, casual environment.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely a hidden gem in the Wrigley community for anyone looking for Long Beach Thai food or a great Thai restaurant in Long Beach. Nic was very nice, super helpful, and just an overall chill dude. He took great care of us and provided excellent customer service.

If you’re looking for that seafood soup with some fire, this is the spot. We also had the egg rolls, which were crispy and flavorful, and finished with the mango sticky rice, which was fresh, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. Everything we tried was a positive experience and clearly made with care.

They also offer a digital menu—you simply scan the QR code and can browse a wide variety of dishes. There’s truly something for everyone.

I honestly don’t understand some of the negative reviews. I’m not defending anyone, trying to justify anything, and nobody paid me to write this. People just need to understand that things change—cooks change, staff changes, and experiences can be different over time.

If you’re searching for Long Beach Thai food and you’re in the Wrigley area, do yourself a favor and pay this spot a visit—you won’t be disappointed. 🔥🍜“

“I’ve been on the hunt for a great Thai spot since my favorite restaurant closed a few years ago, and I think I’ve finally found it! This was our first time ordering, and we were so impressed. The food was securely packaged for takeout, and both my wife’s meal and mine were absolutely delicious. To top it off, the person at the front was incredibly welcoming and cordial. We will definitely be back!“
