They have the best khao soi in Orange County ! It is so good with the fried crab.

I ordered roasted red pork with belly pork rice along with iced coffee. The food tasted just like it does in Thailand, and the presentation was very nice. The iced coffee was smooth, not overly sweet, and well-balanced. I will definitely come back to try other menu items.

Wonderful experience. The staff was very friendly and attentive throughout our visit. The chicken and waffles were delicious, the soufflé pancake was excellent and beautifully presented for our daughter, and the pork and fish soup was amazing, my wife absolutely loved it.

Food was alright, I think its a tough niche because if it want Thai food ill go to a Thai restaurant but if I want brunch ill go for brunch. It lacks the unique flavor profile of thai food that id want.

Breakfast and brunch place is already hard to find but a great one is even harder. I’m lucky coming across this establishment. Food here is good for any time of day. What you see on Yelp is what you get. Look amazing and taste even better. My wife and I are making this place a weekly visit. Staffs are friendly and service is precise. Restaurant atmosphere reminds you of picnic in spring time.

I saw this place on an instagram post and decided to check it out. It's in the back corner of this shopping complex for those who aren't familiar. It does get busy at lunch so I would suggest coming early.
We didn't have any issues but the table next to us did and I felt bad for them. We ordered 2 dishes as seen in my photos and both were really good. The shrimps were huge and very crispy. My friend enjoyed her bowl as well. I would come back.
The poor table to us, somehow never got their 2nd entree and finally had to take it to go. Not sure what happened to them but she sat while her partner ate his whole meal and then took the leftovers from him. I would have been livid.
Cute store. Worth a try.

I was hoping to come out of this place with a great experience but unfortunately it did not turn out that way. We ordered 3 dishes, for me, my wife and my daughter. My food came out first. I ordered one of the omelette’s. It took about a good six minutes before my wife’s food came out, and I was already halfway done (she told me to eat after a couple min of waiting for her food). My daughter‘s food never came out, and I ended up telling another staff member to cancel our order, which was just a waffle. When we got our bill, the waffle we never got was still on there so we had to tell them to cancel it again because they didn’t seem to communicate it.
The service was OK. I’m not sure if they were shortstaffed. But our waiter only came to the table to take our food order and then to deliver the food and that was it.
I was also pretty disappointed in the Thai iced coffee they served. I never had Thai iced coffee and was super excited to try it. I asked our server if it was similar to Vietnamese coffee (strong and sweet) and he told me yes so that’s why I ordered it. It came out, I tried it and it tasted like chocolate milk. Super disappointed. I would like to give this place another try, but I feel like I would need to be pretty convinced.

I'm always looking for a good restaurant to eat after my night shift, and I'll definitely be coming back here after work again. My boyfriend and I cleaned UP the crispy pork belly and holy basil noodles plates; both with very different yet equally yummy flavor profiles. The thai creme brulee was very delicious, a subtle thai flavor in a flat plate that optimizes the brulee (yum). The prices are what you would expect from a place in Irvine, and the waiter was friendly in our time here. They also provide pictures for most of the dishes, which is always helpful for me to choose what I want to eat. Like my boyfriend said in his review, it was Thailicious 🫡

I wanted sooooo much to love the food and experience, but everything fell short. We got the fried chicken benedict (took a very long time to arrive at our table, eggs were cold so the yolk was not runny, and the rest of the benedict was luke warm), creme brulee French toast (this was okay), and the holy chili omelette (good but lukewarm).
All of our three dishes came out separately, first about 10 min apart, and then almost 15 min apart. I think the kitchen needs training on how to serve the party's entrees at the same time. And even tho it took so long to get our orders, everything was lukewarm. Not sure how that works?
Nothing tasted bad. Everything tasted good or OK, but maybe it would have tasted delicious if the dishes were hot. Only sharing this review so maybe Kinaree can do better.
We will be back to try the the other non-brunch items.
