You can really tell the owners take pride in serving authentic thai dishes here. They have lunch specials all week and even offer free egg roll appetizer for 50$ purchase.“

“First time going here. I got the Beef Drunken Noodle and the Seafood Tom Yum Soup. When I tell you both dishes had so much flavor and they give you big portions. The food was absolutely delicious and amazing. The waiters were very kind and very attentive. The place was decorated in Halloween decorations, so cute. I loved everything about this place. This will be my go to spot for Thai food from now on. I'm a very hard food critic and this place passed with flying colors. Thank you for the amazing food. I will be back.“

“I've been eating at this Thai spot for about a year. I've eaten here at least 10 times and it has hit every time. Amazing food, great service, and affordable prices.

The pad thai and panang curry are top tier. I recently tried the Bangkok sidewalk favorite (similar to gra pow at other restaurants) and it was 10/10.

This place is a must try if you are in the long beach/Lakewood area.“

I love the Thai tea and panag curry with papaya salad. Any noodle dish and curry/ soup you just can’t go wrong!“

“"Thai District is a culinary gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The food was absolutely amazing, bursting with authentic Thai flavors that transported us to Thailand. Scott, our server, went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional. Not only did he provide impeccable service, but he also shared interesting tidbits about the area, like the length of the actual “Long Beach” in Long Beach, adding a delightful personal touch to our evening. We left feeling completely satisfied and already planning our next visit. Five stars all around for Thai District!"“

“my favorite spot for that food...always FIRE!!! ( and the owners are the nicest people) ..I have the best time there!“

“The food is amazing 10/10 but the outdoor patio dinning is awful. You cannot have a conversation because the sound echos so loudly and when the staff moves tables around they drag it along the tile and all of the tables have to stop and wait till they are done to be able to speak again with your table.“

“Pad See Ew is delicious! 🤤 their Thai tea is great too!!!“

“I just ate here for the first time and it was incredible and I loved the non alcohol drink flight!“

“Michelin-Level Northern Thai Street Food! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Chiang Rai is a total gem in Long Beach! Don’t let the simple exterior fool you—the inside is vibrant and quirky, and the food is some of the most authentic Northern Thai cuisine I’ve ever had.
The Khao Soi is the absolute star of the show; the curry broth is rich and complex, topped with perfectly crispy noodles. I also highly recommend the Midnight Chicken and the Sai Oua (Northern Thai Sausage) for a real taste of Chiang Rai. Everything is fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor.
It can get busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but it is 100% worth it. If you’re looking for high-quality Thai food that goes way beyond the standard Pad Thai, this is the spot!“

“The Best Thai Food in Long Beach 🏖 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Have lunch with co-workers every week here. Great food and very friendly service. Best Thai food I've found in the South Bay area!“

“A Yelp Elite event brought me to this cool little boutique restaurant. It has a simple, industrial style decor, with a few large garage style doors that open up and make the space feel bigger and more open.

The staff and service were good everyone was nice and friendly. We did not have a reservation and waited no more than five minutes to be seated (around 630p on a Saturday), but it quickly filled after we arrived. It seats only about 50 diners.

Food, we ordered a fresh green salad, chicken wings and duck egg rolls fir appetizers, snd Owl Fried Rice, and crab with Thai chili and basil as shareable entrees. I had a beer with my meal, and my wife had the sangria.

The kitchen flow/timing was a bit off. After our order was taken, we waited about 15 - 20 minutes before the first appetizer came out. As we worked through the appetizers, the Owl Fried Rice arrived. About halfway through the rice, I realized I never got my beer and had to ask for it (I think it was forgotten). We were nearly done with the rice and still hadn’t received the crab dish, so I asked the waitress about it. She looked surprised and said she’d check on it. About 5–10 minutes later, the crab dish finally came out. My wife's second sangria was comped due to this error.

Let's talk about the food:

Green salad – Good and fresh. Did exactly what a salad should do.

Wings – Excellent. Well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Three wings - portion was smaller than typical, as this was part of the Yelp comp. A normal app is 5 wings.

Duck egg rolls – Great flavor, but the wrapper was a little thick and dense.

Owl Fried Rice – Really good overall. The curry flavor comes through strong in a good way. My only issue was that there was just one shrimp in the whole dish. Maybe go lighter on the pineapple and add more shrimp.

Crab with Thai chili and basil – Excellent. The flavors and preparation were on point.

Despite the delays, this was still a pleasant experience. I’ll definitely return and would recommend checking this place out. If the weather’s nice, I suggest grabbing a patio seat (there are only nine).“

“Best Thai food, Very good service, and clean dining place“

“Friendly service, nice decoration, clean environment and great food!

We had the angel wings( deep fried boneless chicken wing stuffed with pork, shrimp, and chicken) as appetizer. It’s a good crunch. We also have the tom kha seafood soup, very comforting and full of ingredients and spices. the crying tiger is so juicy. And the crab fried rice can really taste the wok. We also tried the new fried pork with Chinese broccoli. For dessert we have the mango sticky rice, I like how it comes with a heart shape!

For drinks we have Thai milk tea, pink milk and fresh coconut. Overall, an authentic Thai restaurant that you should give a try!“

“amazing food and service! My husband and I used to live nearby and always came when it was Tai Silk. We now live in San Pedro but we'll be back for sure.“

“Did not expect to be this nice because google image show a very simple restaurant. I went there yesterday with my family we were looking for Thai restaurant near by my house. I just move here for school so not familiar with area but my family want to eat our culture food. I am on a budget and this place coming with high rating. I like it a lot. Service was good. Crab fried rice for $13.99 is to die for. I usually spend closer to $20 for crab fried rice else where and they even use the real crab. Chicken wing are amazing. Red curry is also taste like home. I will definitely coming back. We sit there for closer to 2 hours and my nephew was entertain. They have games for kid and coin machine too. What a good find!“

“nice and fresh and clean 👌#1 service good customer service!“

“Authentic Thai style. Well the coffee is really authentically super sweet (exactly like in Thailand!)“

“Today I went to rodeo 39 in Garden Grove with some friends and I stumbled across Kra Z Kai's. It was my second time trying Laos barbecue. This place is a hidden gem for sure. Everything was the delicious. The ribs were marinated for 24 hours. The barbecue pork and the chicken were all marinated in the same sauce. The owner told me the service was fast and this whole ambience was nice some of the best food I've had in a long time next time I'm going to Garden Grove. I will come here again.“

“Food. Went here on a Wednesday night for dinner. We tried the green curry (with tofu), papaya pok pok (salad), and the roast duck curry. Of these we enjoyed the green curry and papaya pok pok the most.

Service. Our waiter was very attentive, friendly, and helpful. The waiter made sure to check with us to ask if we needed anything and would refill our water. We had a very positive experience.

Overall, I recommend this restaurant. It was our first time here and we plan to return and try other dishes.“

“Listen listen listen !! Cambodian woman here came from Boston mass came across this place looking for spicy food in the area on a work a trip And let me tell you !!!! I have never came across a place that offered salty crab in the papaya salad ! I fell in love instantly! Keep doing what yall doing cause you’re doing it absolutely correct ! ♥️♥️♥️♥️🥹

P.s I had it all to myself and had leftovers do breakfast! A true Asain if you know you know ! Periodt !“

“We are so happy to have Rim Talay Thai Food on Naples Island. It is so convenient to be able to walk over , dine in or take out. My favorite plate has been the pad see ew. They offer a great selection of food and every plate we have had so far has been delicious. Rim Talay has been a great addition to the neighborhood. See you there.“

“Monday, June 1, 2026 - You probably don’t really know this about me 🤣😂 so let me tell you… I absolutely love Thai food 🍜🌶️❤️ I’ve eaten at many Thai restaurants over the years, and while I’ve found a few favorites around Orange County, Long Beach Thai Restaurant was truly an unexpected treasure find ✨

Tucked away in a little strip mall on E Anaheim Blvd., this cozy and super clean spot completely surprised us 😊 We ordered the Rad Nah and asked for the flat rice noodles to be extra charred, just the way I love them 😄🔥 Along with that, we had shrimp Tom Kha Koong, spicy watercress chicken with chili oil, fried spring rolls, and Thai iced coffee 🥢☕🌶️ Everything was delicious, comforting, flavorful, and one of those meals where you keep saying, “just one more bite” 🤣😩😂

What made the experience even better was Kunlaya, aka Ein, the owner/server 🌹 She was warm, gracious, friendly, and so fun to chat with — never missing a beat 😊 You all know how I am… food somehow always tastes even better when the people serving it are kind-hearted, welcoming, and top notch ❤️

Of course, this is just based on my own experience and personal taste… and I’ll admit, I’m pretty particular when it comes to food 🤣😂 So when I say I enjoyed it, that really means something coming from me 😊🍜✨

Definitely one of those hidden gems I’d happily drive back for again“

“We ordered the tom yum, pad see ew, real Thai fried rice, and papaya salad, and every dish tasted so authentic it took me straight back to the streets of Bangkok. The flavors were spot on. Even the free Thai iced tea for dine-in customers was amazing. Definitely a place I would come back to.“

“Thai food in this neighborhood have all fallen for some reason, and I thank this place for opening to pick up where they lack. I think it's great they came into a location that has very mediocre Thai restaurants around with decent ambiance but low quality food. Instead of focusing on a dine in experience, this place is all about delicious Thai take out.
The drunken pad noodles and spaghetti are great and Thai level spicy.
The pineapple fried rice is also delicious.
This is my new go to Thai spot.“

“Great food, nice service. Good happy hour.“

“Highly recommended by another fellow Elite Yelper so we decided to check it out. We had a good experience, both food and service were very good.

We started with Chicken satay and the meat was very tender and tasty.

Pineapple fried rice was a very generous portion (not served on a pineapple) and very good. You can taste the fire power on the fried rice that you can’t make at home.

Green curry with beef is tasty, but probably better to pair with shrimp or chicken or tofu.

The seafood hotpot was slightly more sour than what I’d like (this is normal and expected as my stomach can’t tolerate acid very well, and mentioned ahead of time), they gladly took it in and mild it down for us. It came out a bit later and it was delicious.

Service was excellent, it was pretty busy with all the tables taken, everyone was courteous, caring, and helpful.“

“Fried spare ribs is to die for, pad Thai is cooked perfectly , and the golden needles for super duper delicious . Not to mention their customer service is superb“

“This is our Thai Cuisine spot for our Family of 4. We love the explosive flavors and the freshness of the vegetables and protein. We especially like the seafood green curry , the pineapple fried rice their salads. The presentation of the dishes are so nicely done.
We will celebrating my sister’s birthday here. Yum yum yum !“

“Very delicious array of food. The staff were very friendly and courteous. Food were cooked as you order them. We enjoyed the food. It is a mom and pop restaurant that serves great food.“

“Service amazing! Very friendly and genuine :)

The Pad Thai and Thai Boat Noodle were especially good with the spicy sauce.

Thai Tea GREAT PRICE!!!

Crying Tiger more on the citrus side if that’s what you prefer.“

“I really like their food 😋“

“Great friendly staff! Delicious food we had wonton soup, fried shrimp rolls, and pork belly with veggies everything was a 10/10! Their Thai tea coffee and hot tea were also fire I would definitely recommend! And the bathroom here are clean the restaurant is nice and clean and the customer service was also a 10/10 I loved everything! This is me and my man’s new Thai spot to go too 🥰“

“Amazing food amazing customer service ❤️“

“Great food cooked with love, like you're at Grandma's house, great prices and super friendly service ❤️ I had the drunken noodle which was reality flavorful, nice and spicy and they give you a great chili oil that gave a nice smoky finish, my girlfriend got the orange chicken lunch special with vegetable soup and it was delicious, portions are generous, food came out fast, and no wait to be seated 👍 lovely restaurant with cozy wood panelled walls and somehow this is a rarity but the chairs are actually comfortable. The mango sticky rice was a great, fresh dessert that didn't feel too unhealthy or sugary“

“Was working nearby looking for dinner to go. Asked if they can accommodate for gluten free, certain menu items yes(confirmed with an older woman, she was super sweet).Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai, Pad Woon Sen, and one of the salads. AMAZING! Best Thai I've had in a decade, especially for my allergy. I will be back and will continue to order from here“

“Fast pace restaurant! Eager waiter took our order and within minutes delivered piping hot, steaming delicious Thai dishes. Tasty, spicy, steamy, crunchy succulent morsels on every bite. Pomegranate margaritas and Sangria complimented the savory entries to the last bite. Very friendly staff, eager to please each customer. Mom & Pop shops are always the best. Plan to return in the near future with an even bigger appetite.“

“The food was delicious! My friend recommended it and we decided to eat there for lunch. Our refreshments were served in a cute mason jar. We shared chicken egg rolls for an appetizer. My friend ordered tom yum soup with shrimp and I got Thai Boat Noodle. I am definitely going to eat there again and bring my family.“

“Have been picking up takeout from this neighborhood staple for 26 years and I know people who have been eating here since 1990. D Thai Chinese is apparently a one-woman operation; the owner takes orders, cooks, serves etc. all by herself, and she is so sweet and friendly.
I can only respect how D Thai's prices remain lower than other Thai/Chinese places in the area, although the prices have been raised in the last year or so (two dollars up per lunch and dinner special). The quality of the food however has remained reliably good, fresh cooked to order, and flavorful. I don't know enough about Chinese or Thai cooking to comment on how authentic it is, but it's pretty good in my opinion and that's what matters most to me.
I've tried most of the menu over the years and the standouts to me are the fried rice, thai basil chicken, mongolian beef, beef salads, and pad see ew. The majority of the menu is four stars, but those are the five star items in my experience.
Be advised, cash only and takeout only! For what it is -- a takeout Asian hole-in-the-wall restaurant -- D Thai is a respectable local treat that I will allow myself pretty regularly within my budget. Since the owner lady is so likeable and impressive, and the food is plentiful and decent quality for your dollar, I have to rate this place five stars overall.
Thank you, nice owner lady, for your years of providing your good food and service to Westminster's hungry and grateful people!“

“Food is delicious. Easily the best Thai food ever. The tiger wings are better than most wing flavors else where. The cashew nut shrimp was finger licking good. Service is great and food is also affordable. Do your tummy a favor and come here!!!“

“Best Thai in Bixby Knolls!“

“Great food service and price Very clean atmosphere too!“
