4% SURCHARGE WILL BE ADD! Maybe it was written somewhere on the menu and I didn’t notice, but the restaurant automatically adds a 4% surcharge to the bill. Even if it’s disclosed, it still feels bad as a customer. Just a heads-up for others.

I don’t write reviews, but I’m making an exception. The atmosphere, the staff, and the food was off the hook. The food presentation was creative and the flavors were authentic. You cannot go wrong if you dine here. Enjoy!

Food here is on another level. One of the few Thai places I've ever eaten at using the freshest herbs and seasonings along with high quality proteins and other ingredients. Really elevated food that is consistently delicious. Get the drunken noodles for sure.

Who would have guessed there is a Thai restaurant in Orchard Hills Shopping Center this good! The price is definitely higher than other Thai restaurants in OC, but this place is different in quality, so it’s incomparable. Highly recommend 👍🏻

Horrible place. Food is bad. They even charge you for using credit card. Who does that nowadays.

This place was amazing. The customer service was excellent. We were greeted when we walked inside, and our server was very helpful with the menu. The atmosphere is also very beautiful. It’s a nice place to go with friends or on a date. The food was great, specifically the pad thai and the thai angus beef jerky.

bill adds 4% fee for cost of doing business, not tip! so the owner wants to add 4% for himself and not the workers. Truly disgusting and deceptive. Just add the 4% to the menu price and not at the end. saying it's part of the menu in fine prints is the same as asking people to read apple terms and conditions.

Bangkok on Irvine! Food is A+ here. Authentic and delicious. Highly recommended.
Food is good and service is great. We came here on a Saturday and it was closed at 3 pm. The hours say 11:30-9:30 pm. Owner please pay attention! Thanks

I checked out Nara for the first time during lunchtime and it is delightful! You can tell they put a lot of love into all of the little details - the decor, music, menu options, and food presentation are all exceptional. I tried their green curry (made vegan) and it was excellent. It’s always a nice surprise when restaurants have multiple vegan options, and Nara has at least 3 (I only asked about the curries). I will be back for date night!

It's astonishing how many deceptive reviews by dishonest people who can't afford to eat here and only wish they could come again. Instead, they self-deceive by saying the cost does not go with the bill or portions not big enough. We'll i say buy more! And the food is super delicious and by God exquisite presentation and we'll proportion. Not all restaurants cater to looser, eat elsewhere because your budget does not fit your brain or and lack of work ethics. WE paid close to $200 with 4 cocktails and would gladly come again and again. One of the best restaurants for high-end people!

Extremely disappointing and unwelcoming experience. We live right next door and this used to be one of our favorite spots. But after today, we will never be coming back. We came with our baby in a stroller and were told we had to leave the stroller outside. That’s completely unacceptable — it’s an expensive stroller, and we obviously couldn’t just leave it unattended on the street.
We even offered to fold it and place it neatly in a corner, but the staff refused. No flexibility, no understanding, just a cold “no.” We were shocked by the lack of basic courtesy and hospitality.
Unfortunately, with such disrespectful and almost hostile treatment toward families, this place has lost our trust. There are many restaurants in the area that treat people with kindness — we’ll be going to those instead.
This was truly disappointing. A favorite place turned into a very unpleasant experience.
