“Best Thai food ever, especially for the price. They are quick, affordable, and delicious. I LOVE their Thai Spice fried rice and Pad Thai. If you are in the mood for Thai food, look no further and try this place!

Vegetarian options: You can get tofu or veggies with most dishes“

“If you’re in the mood for authentic Thai flavors in Irvine, Thai Kitchen is a must-visit. The ambiance is cozy, and the service is friendly and attentive. We tried the Tom Yum Soup, which was perfectly tangy and packed with rich, aromatic flavors. The Basil Fried Rice was a highlight—fluffy, fragrant, and full of savory goodness, with just the right amount of heat. Good options for vegetarians.
For dessert, the Mango Sticky Rice was a sweet, refreshing finish to the meal, with perfectly ripe mango and creamy coconut milk. The portions are generous, and the overall experience was both satisfying and delicious. Highly recommend this spot for a flavorful Thai dining experience!“

“Delicious, freshly prepared cuisine.“

“Stumbled upon this cozy Thai cafe and it turned out to be a real hidden gem! The food is great with authentic flavors. Everything we tried was delicious. Just a heads-up: when they say “medium spicy,” they mean it! I’d rate it 8/10 on the heat scale — so order wisely if you’re not a fan of the fire. Definitely a spot I’d visit again. Great food, friendly vibe, and a must-try if you love Thai cuisine!“

“Wonderful experience! There's something for everyone. My coworkers and I stop here every year after working the Chamber of Laguna Beach Golf Tournament at Strawberry Farms, and are never disappointed. I am severely allergic to wheat, and the staff is always knowledgeable and accommodating, helping me find a delicious dish. We got some tofu spring rolls, and the staff brought us a special sauce so I could enjoy them, too. Pad thai was delicious, Thai tea was out of this world, and we always enjoy unwinding after the madness in their calm, relaxing atmosphere.“

“My husband and I came in on a Wednesday around 1pm to avoid the lunch rush. We ordered the original hainan chicken, hat yai chicken, and popcorn chicken. Order came out within 10 minutes. Everything was delicious, definitely enjoyed it best with the KMG sauce and the habanero which had a nice kick. The popcorn chicken was surprisingly very flavorful in the best way. It’s a unique flavor and unlike other popcorn chickens I’ve had. It tasted good with and without the sauce it came with and will definitely be something I’d crave and come back for. 11/10 :)“

“Had a blast with my family 👪 ❤“

“I Love George's food. His Pad Thai is awesome. The Drunken Noodles are also delicious. His location is inside a "Ghost Kitchen" facility called "Smart Kitchens". It's a hidden gem. He used to have a brick and mortar location on bristol street, before the pandemic started.Customer beware. Its all takeout at this location. You can find this food on most popular 3rd party delivery apps. You can do pickup via his website too. Thats where he shines the most.If you go into the "ghost kitchen" as a walk-in order, you can place orders via the KIOSK inside. Wait times may vary during peak hours. I hope this information is helpful to the readers that took the time to read this comment.“

“This place is super convenient for work trips. It's right next to my office!“
