Kid-friendliness: The staff all love my two boys - They will always bring a little something for them out if They get restless while waiting for the food ?“

“I had a random craving for curry and had recalled seeing Thai Dara 2 when I was in the area a while back. I gave it a shot and I was so pleased. I ordered the panang curry with unspecified spicyness and it was perfection. Great temperature, calming music and gracious hospitality from the host. I think I’ll be craving curry more often :) or I’ll try one of the noodle dishes next time! Thank you for the lovely meal! I felt nourished and cared for.“

“I’m not sure that San Clemente understands what a gem this place is. The food is really good Thai food, which is hard to find. The service was great. Those people that had a bad experience, they should try again. We I went it was too very kind guys doing their best to make great food. I can’t wait to go to sleep so I can wake up and eat the leftovers. We had the wonton soup and the pad see ew. They were even happy to steam chicken for our doggo.“

“The service at Thai This is beyond compare, every employee there is friendly, helpful, and helps to create a great experience whether eating in to-go. We walked in to order to-go food and they seated us and brought us bottled water, again, service beyond compare. Now to the food, the Crispy Noodles (#1) are to die for...makes a great dessert. The Nutty Noodles chicken (#54) were great, and the Kiss Me Not garlic pork was so flavorful. They also included some tempura vegetables which were super yummy. So if you're looking for yummy food, at a great price, and with incredible service, Thai This should be your next dinner night out.“

“This is my go-to place for incredibly flavorful Thai food. Ever since the waitress recommended their pumpkin curry on our first visit, I have been an avid fan and customer for the last 3 years. Although we have moved away, coming back to have their curry and beef pad see ew always hits the spot and is worth the drive.“

“Siam Thai is a family owned establishment in my neighborhood with friendly ownership and conscientious service. My favorite dishes are the Crying Tiger Salad, Papaya Salad, and the Honey Duck. The individual ingredients are superior quality and spiciness levels are accurate to the requested amount. I prefer very low spice in order to taste each natural flavor. The Boba Tea bar is a newer addition and the drinks are decorative and well mixed- especially the Taro Milk Tea. This restaurant is part of my weekly dining out ritual.“

“Good experience overall. The dim sum was good. The yellow curry was very flavorful although I would get a higher spice level next time. Service was fast.The egg rolls did not taste good. They also had corn in them which seemed odd. The BBQ pork fried rice was meh. Not terrible but kind of bland.“

“Everything was good but the drinking water they used out of container on back counter had a bad taste just recommend getting bottled water otherwise excellent meal“

“Small, quaint Thai restaurant. Because the restaurant is small, they have limited seating. I was able to get a table quickly because it was after the dinner rush hour. Service was quick, and friendly. They have a good selection of traditional Thai dishes. Prices are high, probably because of location. I ordered Penang Curry with chicken. I requested additional vegetables, and was accommodated with a small up charge. The price for the dish was 20,00 and with the upcharge came to 23.00 It was served on a plate as opposed to a bowl, which I'm used to at most Thai restaurants. It was nicely presented, and came with jasmine rice, however, I could tell right away, it didn't have enough curry sauce for my liking. I ended up asking for more sauce because there just wasn't enough. It was also on the thin side. One way they can improve the dish is by serving it in a nice size bowl, and giving more sauce. I also think the the sauce could be a tad thicker. Making these adjustments would make the dish much better. Their sauce is very good, though the dish needs double or more of the curry sauce than it currently comes with. I also ordered desert, an inexpensive pudding. 3.00 and it was delicious. With tax and tip, my bill was just over 34.00 Street or lot parking can be difficult during busy times.“

“The food here is EXCELLENT, we orderd 6 different dishes and they were all delicious with AUTHENTIC THAI SPICE ??️ Service was good. Clean environment. Bathroom available, clean. Seating was comfortable. Plenty of parking space. Marking as one of my favorites so i can come back again.“

“Thai bite has amazing food like out of this world crying tiger meal and then the shrimp spring rolls are amazing. Also the curry was delicious too. & ohhhh The mango sticky rice is better than sex lol. Definitely will need to try it but sometimes they run out of it so try to get some while u can.“

“This place is right by my school and I have been there twice now.

The food is absolutely delicious and filling. Both times, I got the basil wagyu and I will continue to eat it forever. My boyfriend had the pad kee mao, which was so refreshing, perfectly spicy, and had whole branches of peppercorns. I've brought coworkers here before and they also loved it.

I will continue to come back!“

“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“

“I was craving Thai food and found this spot. I ordered the Crying Tiger Lunch special, the Thai BBQ Chicken lunch special, Thai Dim Sum (potstickers), and WOW! Lunch was SO good!! The lunch specials came with salad, soup and steamed rice. The crying tiger is a prime beef dish that was just delicious. I’ve been dieting and training for lose weight and this meal was lean and light. It was also incredibly delicious. The Thai Dim Sum was the star of the lunch. They fried them so they were fluffy, light and crispy. I could eat those everyday. But I won’t because of my diet. The meal left me full and satisfied. The portions were perfect. My husband and I loved everything we ate. I will definitely be ordering from here again!“

“My 82 year old mom has Thai food first time in her life today. She agreed since she was hungry and didn’t like anything nearby. All my life she said she would never eat it. Well she shared my Pad Thai and liked it. She even took and order home with her. As we we’re leaving I ordered Thai Ice tea. She loved that also. She called me this afternoon telling me that my sister and her plan to go on Saturday. I eat there all the time with my family. We love the place.“

“Food was amazing! Got the lunch special which includes a free Thai tea or Thai coffee. Such a great deal. Service was amazing and friendly and overall great restaurant. Highly recommend! Will def be back. Cheese wontons and crazy cashew was my favorite.“

“Today was my first time here but the Volcano Seafood I ordered is absolutely amazing“

“Excellent food at reasonable prices. Service was fast and friendly. Small restarant.

Parking: Parking behind the restaraunt in "the row". Take the side street up the hill from the restaraunt and then turn left into "the row". drive to far end of parking area for the shortest walk. Take the stairs at the end of the parking area down to street level, take the sidewalk to the left, and the restaraunt is close on the left.“

“Good food and reasonable price Friendly and wonderful service , definitely will recommend it 👍❤️“

“Had a delightful experience at this small Thai spot! The Spicy Curry Fried Rice and Spicy Curry Noodles were a flavor explosion - absolutely delicious. The Crying Tiger dish was a standout, perfectly grilled and bursting with flavor. The portion size of the Spicy Curry Fried Rice is generous - perfect for sharing between two unless you're especially hungry. A satisfying meal that won't leave you wanting! The cozy ambiance coupled with the friendly staff made our visit even more enjoyable. Can't wait to return for more Thai goodness!“

“Delicious food, great service and family own business. I try Tom yum noodle soup (Thai style). Yum!!!“

“New in town and visited based on reviews. Food is amazing! I thought I had good Thai food in my old neighborhood, but this is better. The Pad Kee Mow was perfection, service friendly, warm and prompt. Setting isn’t fancy, more like eating in someone’s home. But it adds to the charm of the place. I’ll be a regular for sure!“

“This is our favorite Thai restaurant. It's a nice sit-down place for family gatherings, but honestly pricing is so reasonable that it's even a great place for quick lunches, pick upd or deliveries. Food arrives superfast. Staff has always been super friendly, and great with little kids.

The food is outstanding. Their hot and sour and the egg drop soups are fantastic. Their pad Thai and curries are also amazing. There's satays are fantastic.

We probably go here or deliver at least once a week.“

“Always our choice for Thai food!“

“I enjoyed the smoked spare ribs and the spicy stir fried prawns with veg Dessert was great too“

“Nice decent selection of options - had visited with office friends for lunch and overall the food taste was pretty good, the options were amazing and the service was quick. They do have spicy food in case you are looking for it and we had a nice flavorful Thai cuisine.“

“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 :)“

“One of my favorite neighborhood restaurants that has been around a very long time.

The ambiance is like Thailand town at night - dark with warm lighting. Oldies but goody with full bar that’s pretty much like Chiang Mai’s bars.

The food never disappoints. I brought people here and the food was crowd pleaser. The service is super efficient.

The location is just perfect for a meeting point from South OC and North OC. It is right off the highways I5/405 and there are many places to visit around the area - antique shopping, the missions, cinema, music festival by the beach, Dana Point harbor …“

“This is one of the best Thai restaurants I have been to. The Drunken Noodle is always our top priority, SUPER DELICIOUS!!! Because they use FRESH ingredients. Usually, I ask for less oil and they did it. The service is also wonderful!!!The Crying Tiger is yummy.......Ask for medium rare. The Thai sampler is also great !!!.....You can taste many kinds of appetizers in 1 order. The Thai ice tea in this restaurant is the best Thai tea compared to other Thai teas in other places. One more thing, the Angel Wings are super big and inexpensive. We ordered Pineapple fried rice for a friend and he said it's delicious!!!We have been a regular going to this restaurant for more than 10 years with those same orders and never get tired of the food.“

“This is my favorite Thai restaurant in RSM. The service is always great.The menu has a huge selection of appetizers, lunch specials, dinner plates, and desserts. I get the Thai tea on every visit.The food never dissapoints. Everything tastes fresh and has lots of spice and flavor. We are allowed to sit anywhere in the restaurant. The booths are the best. Music is entertaining to listen to while eating our meals.“

“Pat and her sister do an amazing job running Siamese Express. The food is delicious and the prices are more than fair. My favorite Thai restuarant between Laguna Niguel & Aliso Viejo.

Parking: Plenty of free parking close to the restaurant.“

“Had the pleasure of speaking with Minah after receiving an order from Uber eats as a courier to deliver for a local resident in the area. Gotta say, she and her staff have such a beautiful and welcoming spirit of peace and kindness that I hope to have lunch with them tomorrow. God willing ❤️ - Come visit this restaurant, you will love their food. It's smells amazing!! ?????“
