About Chiang Rai

Chiang Rai is a Thai restaurant located in Long Beach, recognized by the Michelin guide. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, though it can become crowded and may not offer enough space for large groups. Many customers appreciate the variety of vegan options clearly marked on the menu. Popular dishes include the spring rolls and the dry Khao Soi, which is highly praised as one of the best outside of Thailand. The Wagyu Thai boat noodles are also a favorite among customers, tasting just like in Thailand. The Roti is described as flaky and crispy, served with a very good yellow curry sauce. The restaurant offers northern and southern plates, with many recommending the northern dishes as unique compared to other Thai restaurants. Safe choices for those who prefer classic dishes include panang and Thai fried rice. However, the Tom Yum soup is not recommended due to its unpleasant smell. The Thai tea tends to be a bit too sweet for some, but the Tom kha beer is a unique option that tastes like Tom kha. Parking can be difficult, so using a rideshare service is advised. Overall, Chiang Rai is a fantastic place to try Thai food, especially for those seeking authentic flavors in a well-decorated and inviting atmosphere. The wait list can be long, but the food, service, and ambiance make it worthwhile.

We just moved to the area and wanted to try some thai food. We were so happy to find Chiang Rai. The service was excellent and the food is absolutely delicious. I tried the pad thai with beef. The beef was cooked to perfection and the noodles were amazing. We have to come back to try more of their dishes!! Also the Thai Tea was addicting!
I had the rib eye beef salad work lime juice it was good!!!
Found this place on the Michelin Guide and came in for lunch. The bright decor is interesting and whimsical. Acoustics not the best: if you are sensitive to loud sounds, might be better to get to go. Service was pretty good, they told us it would be a half hour wait for a table, but it turned out shorter than that. In my humble opinion food should be the primary consideration when reviewing a restaurant and so I don’t agree with everything that Michelin does because they...read full review
