50 Best Thai Restaurants near Harbor City

“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.“

“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!"“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great authentic Cambodian food, and one of the best service I’ve received by the waitress compared to anywhere else I’ve been to in Long Beach .“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The atmosphere and Sid the owner so friendly and makes you feel so welcome ...awesome food and love the Thai ice tea“

“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.“

“muy buena comida y el servicio muy amable.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I tried the crab pad Thai that I saw on instagram it was really good and a new flavor I never had before. The Thai ice test was good I love the sealed top, so fun. 🤩 my husband liked his and it was the perfect spice for him, normally at other Thai spots in the South Bay it’s never hot enough for him so Im happy about that for him.“

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

“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 ❤️“

“The food is fabulous every time I try to call in an order. Nobody wants to pick up when I go to pick up the order. They don't recognize females as much as they recognize. Men.
For example, I'm standing there 15 minutes. Waiting for the lady to ask me what I'm there for and she didn't, so I sat down to wait. A man came in and she instantly said, are you here for pick up or to eat?“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Amazing Khmer restaurant in Long Beach! 🇰🇭 The food is delicious, authentic, and full of traditional Cambodian flavors. Everything tasted fresh and was prepared perfectly. Great service and a welcoming atmosphere too.
Definitely one of the best Cambodian restaurants in town. If you’re looking for authentic Khmer food in Long Beach, Monorom is a must-try! Highly recommended! 👌😋“

“BRUH their food be BUSSIN!!!!! Every time I call, they accept my order with ease and they start cooking it right away like the pro chefs that they are. My go to is fr fr the pad see ew and the pineapple fried rice and it's the GOAT! Yumilicious 10/10. If you ever get stranded in PV, this the place to go if you wanna support local businesses“

“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!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 was very good! I will be visiting again“

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

“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“

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken“

“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.“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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. 🔥🍜“

“We ordered ahead when they opened for the day, and when we arrived 15 minutes later we picked up our order. We had two extra large thai curry pizza with chicken and were able to sit down for lunch. It tasted good. There were peppers, chicken, and a lot of cheese on the pizza, with curry on the side as a dip or topping. The curry is slightly spicy, but good. Highly recommend.“

“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.“
