12 Best Thai Restaurants in Irvine

“We dined in here today and we were very excited to try the vegetarian menu here. Unfortunately, their curry and pad thai have oyster sauce and fish sauce already in it and that was not an option. That left us with very limited options with eggplant &tofu and pad kee Mao which they were able to make without the oyster sauce and fish sauce. Loved the ambience and service but unfortunately no curry for vegetarians here. P.S mild was spicy for us. 😋“

“the best Thai place in LA?“

“Literally CRAVE this place weekly since I work close to this spot. Their Thai Chicken noodle soup is the BEST!
So comforting and the woman in the front is so sweet.

I literally try to tell myself to not get it once a week because it’s that GOOD 😜“

“This place seriously just made my whole week. The food came out super fast and it was all so fresh and flavorful, I basically cleaned my plate without stopping. I got the mussaman curry and it had that perfect mix of sweet and savory with huge chunks of potato and tender chicken. My friend had the pad thai and they said it was the best theyve had in a while too. We just kept talking and eating way longer than we planned because no one wanted to leave. Already trying to figure out when I can come back.“

“Really impressed by how consistent this place is. I’ve ordered from multiple locations and the quality has always been solid. The Hainan chicken is flavorful, the broth is comforting, and everything tastes fresh. It’s healthy without feeling boring. Perfect quick lunch option when you want something filling but not too heavy.“

“This was hands down, the best Thai flavor ive ever had here in the U.S. The portions are smaller in order to fit in 'to-go' containers but still well worth it. Im so happy we found this gem. We will go again when we fly back to town.“

“I firmly believe every man needs a local Thai restaurant in their lives, and this is mine.

I've been in the area for over 5 years and this has been my answer every time I'm craving Thai food. Delicious, fast service, and they have great daily deals on certain dishes. It's hard not to get Pad Thai every Monday....

A word of warning to those who do not have experience with spicy food: MILD at this place has a kick more than you are expecting. It's VERY GOOD, but if you consider yourself a person who only likes a little bit of spice, you should absolutely stick with MILD and not go higher. If you're a spice fiend, climb the ranks and see what works for you.“

“This is a lovely restaurant with delicious food and great service. We loved the Penang curry and Basil beef. Try it and I think you’ll be back. I don’t usually post reviews but we had tried to get in to two other Thai restaurants tonight that had wait lists. When we looked around they were dirty and we didn’t want to stay. This restaurant met and exceeded our expectations.“

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely incredible! Authentic Thai food that tastes like home.**

> As a Thai person living in the US for 4 years, it has been incredibly hard to find authentic, delicious Thai food that matches the flavors back home. Siam Station absolutely nailed it!

> I ordered the **Prik Khing (Pad Prik Khing)** with **crispy pork**. Even in Thailand, it’s rare to find a place that makes this dish this perfectly. The flavor profile and the crunch of the pork were a match made in heaven. My wife ordered the **Pad See Ew** and said it’s the best she’s ever had since moving here! We even brought some home for our daughter, and she loved it so much that we’ve already planned a family dine-in night.

> The **Som Tum (Papaya Salad)** was also phenomenal—the papaya still had that perfect, fresh crunch and wasn't crushed into mush. Honestly, everything was so delicious I didn't even know what to eat first. I was so excited that I forgot to take photos!
> For dessert, I asked the staff if the **Mango Sticky Rice** was sweet (since so many places in the US serve sour mangoes). They assured me it was sweet! We were too full this time, but we are definitely getting it on our next family visit.
> To top it all off, the single server working that day handled the entire restaurant beautifully. We even chatted in Thai, which made the experience feel so welcoming. 10/10, highly recommend!“

“The food, service, and atmosphere here are all GREAT. It’s a little pricey… in that there is definitely cheaper Thai food in town. But everything is really really tasty and the service and atmosphere are upscale and really nice. Worth the extra money.

WARNING: I would avoid takeout or delivery. As much as we love this place, we just didn’t feel like going out last night. We tried to order by calling the restaurant. They have an AI agent taking your order. She rejected one of our favorites, saying it’s not on the menu. Turns out, it’s not on the TAKEOUT menu. (It was “basic” chicken lettuce wraps.) I get it… some food doesn’t travel well and they choose not to even try. (But that particular food seems like it would be okay?) The more annoying part was the AI accepted our order for fresh shrimp spring rolls, but “translated” the order to the kitchen as fried rolls with shrimp and other fried stuff. When we called, we were able to talk to a person that claims they’ll refund in a few business days. But she kept insisting that “we ordered the wrong thing.” Maybe they shouldn’t rely on an AI to take my order? (I read to the AI — word for word from their online menu — the item we wanted… the AI said “got the shrimp rolls… what else?”) Insult to injury… when dining in, they bring us a (big) side of peanut sauce (for the rolls) and never ever charge us. Last night, the AI charged us $4 for it and it was the tiniest little to-go ramekin like you see at salsa bars. (And remember, we didn’t even get the rolls to dip them in!) After speaking with the live person (that identified herself as the manager), I’m pretty convinced they just don’t love their takeout customers… like we’re a necessary evil.

Again: GREAT restaurant… love eating THERE. But be prepared to be under appreciated and disappointed if you try to take out.“
