The food is worth it, and the customer service is more like family welcome. The atmosphere, is warm and cozy and the restaurant team makes sure to let you know that they remember you and invites you to come back. Such a pleasant and personable, dining experience to thoroughly

I personally do not understand the bad review of this place.First of all, I’m a first generation immigrant here. I’m Asian. I know how Asian foods are supposed to taste like. And I’ve had plenty of authentic Thai food when I was in college. It is probably true if you expect to taste more peanutty flavors, you will not find here.The food here, arguably you can say it is less authentic, but let me tell you, it’s as Asian as a small quirky business can be while thrive in the US community that is not specifically catering Thais. The posts that complain the food is too sweet, I don’t get it; Pad Thai is just about any other Thai’s place, if not less sweeter. And with taste I don’t think the sweetness is overwhelming.Ok, with that out of my way, let’s talk about how I discovered this place.Around 2015 when I was living in Long Beach, I was in search for some healthy alternative takeouts rather than feeding myself fast food like McDonald all the time. I’d found this place on google map and decided to be adventurous to give it a try. The result was not disappointing. The most impressive part, aside from a lot of seasonal greens and healthier food than what I would normally eat, it was the portion and price. I was glad I could find something that’s good portion, relatively healthier, and superb price.Now, you would say that the price of everything had gone up, but let me tell you a more recent experience. I took my bf there for a dinner date, and the combined weight of two of us excess over 500lb. We ordered two appetizers and two main dish, and I was estimating that this meal would be well over 60. After we finished our food, we were actually stuffed and would not need any food for the rest of the night, the bill came out to be under 50. That was something you have to put in consideration.And now I do not live in Long Beach anymore, even so, from time to time I bought folks to this small business. Each time I was impressed. Once I took a white friend who’s like, born and raised in Missouri, and he even liked this foreign food, where their people were infamously picky for the food’s taste and textures. Other foodie friends I’ve bought to there over the years have had about the same effect.Condolences to the grandmother. I haven’t seen her at this place for a long while now. My own grandmother used to chat with her while we ate there. My grandmother had Alzheimer’s. But I was pleased to see the children were helping out in the family business; positive stuff like this made me like life more altogether.TL;DR: give it a try, and definitely won’t disappoint you. Impressive? Probably not if you’re expecting full blown authenticity. This is Long Beach after all, not like it’s in San Gabriel valley or something.PS: no, I do not get paid for this review.

I didn't really care for this place.. not going back. When asked to give me the condiment the lady replied I already put them in !! So just to double check! She didn't add them and only gave one small hot sauce!! So yeah I don't care for cheap tight places like this one.

I read another review that stated that their food tasted sweet, like sugar. Well, I decided to give this place a try and I ordered Pad Thai noodles, it tasted very sweet! I couldn't finish it. The portions were decent but the taste was gross. I'll probably never to back.

Great Thai food in a casual setting in Lakewood! We always order the Tom Yum soup and Papaya Salad. Great lunch specials as well! They have a neat drive through in the alley of the restaurant which allows you to order to go seamlessly as well! An LB staple

This is our go-to Thai spot in Anaheim. In my experience, I've never had a bad Thai restaurant, but this place has been good enough that I've never looked elsewhere since we moved to Anaheim 3.5 years ago.

We decided to finally eat here after years of procrastination. A stranger recommended this restaurant to my mother and I BEFORE the pandemic. (Around 2018 or 2019) Such a shame. We deliberated on where to eat and I spoke up for Thai Corner. We both ordered combination fried rice with egg rolls. We picked up sodas from the 7-ELEVEN next door. Fanatic fantastic!!! I have been craving authentic fried rice from this part of town. So glad to have two eateries that will serve us scrumptious fried rice!!!Survive every pandemic to eat here!!!Kudos, Thai Corner!!!

This is a nice quick on the go spot. I love that they have a driveway. Parking lot is small, but if you use the drive through, that isn't a problem. I've gone through the drive through to order, and they asked me to park in the lot to wait for my order, it took about 20 minutes. I've also called ahead to order, went through the drive through to pay and pick up. Staff are friendly and food is good. I lol their Thai tea too!

drunken noodles and combination fried rice are my favorite. Customer service for the most part is good. The decor is pretty cool. A lot of natural light

Great quick drive thru Thai spot. They have good lunch and dinner specials with a little bit of everything. You can call ahead and do a drive thru to pick up. Very convenient!

This spot is the epitome of “You got me effed up!” Don’t come here if you expected to be served or get your moneys worth. Food had good flavor despite the portions being small. But service was so horrible we won’t be back and encourage you to not go either.From the time we sat down, it was at least 5 mins before we were acknowledged. We were instructed to “grab your own menu” by the waitress/hostess/cashier who seemed more preoccupied with their drive thru than their dinning room.We placed our orders and requested some hot sauce and chop sticks when our meal came. A few mins went by and nothing. We asked again, and the waitress pointed to the top of a trash can where all the hot sauces and condiments are kept and told us we could retrieve our own. My mother is disabled so mobility is a challenge. Nevertheless, she got up and got her own condiments. Shortly after, the waitress came over to our table and took the chili and soy sauce off of our table and gave it to another table!Lunch specials came with egg rolls which didn’t include sauce. When we requested some she brought one small saucer with a measly squirt of sauce for the whole table. Probably the equivalent of one ketchup packet worth of sauce. Apparently at this restaurant you are expected to share sauce you all are going to double dip in, to help them keep their costs down ?. We asked for one more sauce bc we weren’t in the mood for sweet & sour saliva. The waitress had it on her tray already. She lowered her tray and said “take it”. Girl what? What waitress expects their guest to retrieve their own menus, retrieve their own sauces and utensils from the serving station and grab their own sauce off of your serving tray?Now time to pay. We put two cards down and asked the bill be split in half. Nothing fancy or out of the ordinary. But, splitting the bill is something they won’t do bc the bank charges them per swipe is what we’re told. Literally a $.35 charge (if that) per swipe. I’m spending my money to come out and eat at a restaurant, the last thing I want to deal with is feeling like I walked onto an episode of “Extreme Cheapskates” and treated like an inconvenience.These people take penny pinching to the next level and it’s exhibited in every aspect of their business and how they “serve” their paying clientele. But hey, definitely check them out if you’re in the market for some costume jewelry. They have an entire display case of it for sale in the middle of the dinning room of their restaurant.

I always see this place, but not sure why I haven't been here sooner. This establishment is a family-owned restaurant. I ordered the Pad Thai with Chicken, which was incredibly good. My boyfriend chose the Pad Kee Mao with Beef. He said the dish was packed with flavor & enjoyed it. Both dishes were delicious & reasonably priced. The aesthetics of this restaurant was nice & calm. They even have a drive-thru which makes it more convenient. You can order ahead of time rather than dining in. Our bellies were pleasantly full & satisfied.
