39 Best Thai Restaurants near Laguna Beach

“EVERYTHING here is top notch- that’s why it’s lasted forever. It’s my family’s favorite, and feels like home. I love “Harmony “, but their curries are superb as well. Great spot to get out and have a fun meal or for takeout! The best you’ll find anywhere!!“

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

“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.“

“We’ve been coming to Thai Garden regularly and always have a great experience. The food is consistently delicious, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. We especially appreciate how thoughtful they are with our daughter — it’s those little touches that keep us coming back. Definitely one of our favorite spots!“

“La amable atención. La comida deliciosa!“

“Good food - freshly prepared, better than most other Thai restaurants, not expensive even now. The waiters are attentive but unobtrusive. Ambiance and decor standard, but who cares, when the food is this good? I love the sauteed eggplant, and the papaya salad.“

“Been wanting to try this place because I love Hainan chicken. Let's start with the things I didn't like. I hated the parking. I thought they shared parking with the other businesses so when I turned into a parking lot, it wasn't connected so I had to go all the way around to actually get to the specific entrance so that was annoying. Also parking was horrible, no spaces so when I got to the dead end, it was hard to maneuver my car and make a complete 180 turn around. If some is behind you, good luck trying to turn around. When I ordered my food, you get to choose 2 sauces but it was specific. One hot sauce and one other sauce. I said i don't want the hot sauce, can i just have the other one and i had to pay extra!!!! Ugh, that it kind of not great because i feel like I shouldn't have to pay extra since I can't tolerate hot sauce.
Other than that, the meal itself was yummy and would definitely recommend it.“

“Another good thai place in the locality. The drunken fried rice was pretty good, had great flavor, wonderful taste and delicious. The khao soi which we ordered was good too, but the consistency of it was way too thick than expected, and it was more towards on the sweeter side of the taste, even thought we ordered it as spicy . The quantity looked a small too for the price. However there are other menu items which look interesting and can't wait to explore other items.“

“Tried this place for the first time during my lunch break because I was craving Thai food, and I’m so glad I did! The shrimp pad Thai was delicious and the portion was really good. The ambience inside is also really nice.

I got takeout this time because parking can be a little limited during busy hours, but next time I definitely want to dine in. Looking forward to coming back and trying more things on the menu! Definitely recommend giving this place a try!“

“Delicious Food amazing customer service If you love Thai this place is a most“

“Watching TV and saw Pad Thai and had to have some. Wanted chix/shrimp and couldn't get any of the platforms to give me that option. Pad thai near me got me to Thai Dara 2 and my order had lots of both perfectly cooked shrimp and big white meat chicken pieces. The order left me with enough for dinner. I will definitely be back.“

“Hidden gem for Thai food. The quiet and nondescript building doesn't bear witness to the quality of food served.
Very genuine food and polite servers who aim to please.
We shared the Pad See-Ew with Pork and Yellow Curry with Chicken and rice. We also ordered the rare Mango Sticky Rice.
This is highly recommended but save room for dessert. The meals are hearty and the mango and sticky rice are plentious.
Service is excellent and helpful.
The atmosphere is very authentic with the ongoing elephant theme throughout.“

“Delish and great staff. The staff IS family and they treat not only their customers like family, but the other staff as well. That means a lot. We had a fun time with DJ and Pleng. About the food... We had 4 dishes... Hanuman's ceviche, Tom Kha Gai, Massaman, Pad See Ew and a nice glass of Malbec. My favorites were the ceviche and Massaman. But everything was so good. Hubs liked everything. There was literally no wait at 3 pm but come soon... Once word gets out this place will have a 45 min wait just like the mother location on Bristol.“

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

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

“Favorite local neighborhood Thai restaurant. Absolutely love the Kao Soi Chicken. =)“

“Thai All Day was absolutely amazing! I had the Penang Curry Chicken, and it was honestly some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. The lemon soup starter was incredible too!

The service was wonderful, the food came out surprisingly quickly, and everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The atmosphere was also great and made the whole experience even better.

I would absolutely recommend Thai All Day and can’t wait to come back! 🌸🍜“

“I've been eating here for many months now. Tried many dishes, including their curries, fried fish cake appetizer, and pad kra pow. Really love their flavors. Nice staff too. The fried fish cake appetizer is my favorite. Growing up in Singapore, it reminds me of some of the flavors from there.“

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

“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 😜“

“the best Thai place in LA?“

“It was a distinct pleasure to finally experience this highly anticipated Thai establishment. The ambiance immediately transported me to Thailand, a feeling unequivocally reinforced by the exceptional cuisine. Each dish showcased an impressive authenticity of flavor. The Green Curry with chicken was a particular highlight, perfectly satisfying a long-held craving. Additionally, the shrimp fried rice was a masterclass in balance, offering a delightful texture and exquisite taste. Beyond the culinary delights, the staff's remarkable hospitality and the impeccable cleanliness of the premises further enhanced the overall experience. I eagerly anticipate a return visit to savor the green curry again and explore more of their enticing menu.“

“The Pad See Ew here is EXACTLY what I want and expect when I order one. The noodles have a nice chew, there was a little char on everything including the vegetables, it was perfect. Usually when you get pad see ew, a good indicator that it’s going to be flavorful is the color of the noodles. Pale tan? No flavor. A nice rich brown like the ones in the picture here? Delicious. My bf and I also got a Pad Thai (not pictured), a Panang Curry, and finished with Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. Everything was so good, I think this is my new favorite Thai food place.“

“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.“

“The best Thai Food restaurant in Southern California. I would name my favorite dishes, but there’s too many to choose from 🍛 And I can’t ever skip the mango sticky rice 😍“

“Thai Bite is one of the stronger Thai food options in the area, especially for takeout or a quick dine-in meal. It focuses on flavor and consistency without overextending the menu.

Dishes like pad thai, curries, and fried rice all come out well balanced. Portions are fair, and spice levels are customizable.

As someone who works locally, this is a practical recommendation when clients want something quick but still quality. Clients ask me about places like this when they’re looking for dependable takeout options.

Parking is easy, service is quick.

It’s a solid, repeatable choice.“

“I was looking for a new Thai place to try in the area and I’m so glad that I found Plern Thai Cafe in my search on Google. I really appreciated that Plern offers a vegetarian pad see ew with tofu—I personally don’t like seafood and fish sauces in noodles and other dishes. It was probably the best pad see ew I’ve had in a very long time! I ordered takeout, but when I came into the restaurant to pick up my order, staff were very kind and welcoming. The ambience of the restaurant looks very charming; I’ll definitely have to come and enjoy a meal in the restaurant soon!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Thai Dara Dana Point!

This is our go to spot and the food is consistently excellent and the service is amazing. Fern and Eke are the best and will make you feel so welcome and taken care of. It’s the most charming atmosphere and we’ve never had anything other than a great experience here and we’ve been going for years. Highly recommend the Tom Kha Soup, pad Thai, and crying tiger. Oh and ginger tea.

Thank you Thai Dara for always a great experience.“

“Great time .. and the most amazing food .. dubble bubble shot is a must here never in my life anything like this .. but the best ohh and the cabbage wrap Thai style is the best“

“I have been going here for so many years I’ve lost count! I am always happy with ANY meal I get. They NEVER disappoint! Tell everyone you know who likes/loves Thai food to give them a try! I have eaten lunch and dinner. I ordered the Crying Tiger and I ordered a very large soup to take home which is why the bill was over $25.00.“

“The staff here work really hard and the food is even better!!! I ordered takeout a day later by mistake and they explained MY MISTAKE- I was a bit impatient but they stayed calm and looked at what was going on in a calm and efficient manner my takeout order was right on time for the day I had ordered it!! thank you all so much great food great staff!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“Ordered take-out for a cozy night in. We got the chicken pho, chicken curry, coconut spring rolls, and chicken dumplings. Everything is SO DELICIOUS and very fresh. Service was great! I highly recommend dining in or taking out!😋“

“I don’t get why this place doesn’t have more people come in , owner is really friendly, food is amazing especially the chicken pad Thai and coconut curry. It has the vibe and atmosphere of such a homey and comforting place; I only get this food as comfort and every single time it guarantees me that I feel better. Such an amazing low-key gem thay I hope more people discover“

“Amazing experience from start to finish! Danielle, the host, was warm and welcoming, and Matthew provided excellent, attentive service with great recommendations.

The sushi was extremely fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was stylish and relaxing.

Highly recommend for great sushi, service, and ambiance. We’ll definitely be back!“
