50 Best Thai Restaurants near Manhattan Beach

“muy buena comida y el servicio muy amable.“

“Loved everything we tried at Nawa Thai! We got the Tom Kha Gai, drunken noodles, and red curry – all packed with flavor. The Tom Kha was honestly the best I’ve had in the US. Cozy ambience too, perfect for a relaxed meal. Plus, it’s just a short walk to Manhattan Beach afterward. Super convenient with a parking garage right across the street.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best Thai food in Manhattan Beach—plus amazing service! The Pad Thai combo was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked proteins (shrimp, chicken, tofu, and egg). The crispy veggie egg rolls were delicious, and the fresh coconut drink was the perfect tropical touch. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and served with genuine care. The service was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for authentic Thai food in the South Bay, The Garden Thai is a must-visit!“

“Excellent food and fantastic service😊“

“The rice they use for their Hainan chicken was perfection. They only serve it on Fridays, the rice came seasoned like how you would expect it from a traditional Hainan restaurant in Asia. The kaosoi was well seasoned with yellow curry. For dessert we got the mango sticky rice, the rice was a bit sweet but the coconut milk balanced it out.“

“Yes, this shop has very good service 🥰“

“A wonderful little Thai place, seating is a bit limited as it seems more of a takeout/delivery place but it's never too crowded that you can't sit down.
The food is incredible, and the service is on the same level. Highly recommend if you're anywhere near the area.“

“We stopped for dinner and glad we did. The service was great only had a couple people at tables. We ordered massamun curry, yellow curry, green curry, pad see-ew, spring rolls, fried wontons, and tom-kha. It was all wonderful and seasoned perfectly. Would definitely come back again. When you spend $100 or more you get a free item (shirt, fanny pack, wallet).“

“Absolutely amazing service, and the food was even better. I had the Pad See Ew lunch special and Thai Tea. The food was rich in flavor and filling. Definitely can't wait to go back to try something new. Very excited I discovered this place!“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“This is really a very small restaurant that specializes in Thai food. There were not many customers when we visited that night, so the environment was quite quiet. Since I was very hungry after work, I ordered more dishes. I personally liked their crab fried rice. It was not too salty or inexplicably sweet, but the Tom Yum Goong noodle soup was of a lower standard and didn't taste like Tom Yum soup at all. What’s a little surprising is that the quality of the desserts they serve is actually very good. Sticky Rice Mango is my favorite dessert. Although the mango is not sweet enough, I am still willing to give it high marks. The fried banana with coconut ice cream just won my wife's appreciation.“

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food“

“My new favorite Thai food spot! I always order yellow curry so that’s what my review is based on. I am vegetarian so chose it with tofu. I had additional requests and they came through. I asked to make it mild and leave onions out and add vegetables too. Got everything I asked for about $15 out the door ! Sauce was thick and tasty, rice included. Atmosphere wasn’t the best but I had my food to go anyway. Waited about 15 minutes. Worth every minute and penny. We found parking in the back.

Vegetarian options: I had yellow curry

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian“

“My whole family loved the food and we had great service!“

“Extremely nice family restaurant. Their curries are very tasty and they are so welcoming, I will long remember how nice they were with us and will come back anytime I am in this neighborhood. Thank you for your generosity and kindness.

Parking: Huge parking“

“Everytime we order, the food has been some of the best Thai food we've had in LA! Highly recommend 👌😋“

“the thaibeef and its sauce is amazinn..just enough to taste it.....good food“

“My order of Pad Thai was ready faster than anticipated, and turned out to be delicious! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. This place is a somewhat hidden gem and I will definitely be back. Be advised that when they indicate spiciness they mean it so, if you don't like things deliciously spicy, be sure to select mild or not spicy!

Kid-friendliness: The owner had a variety of games to keep the little ones occupied“

“Was craving Thai food and was on our from LA to Orange County. Found this place to have excellent reviews on google. We ordered pad Thai , basil chicken and shrimp fried rice. The food tasted extra ordinary. Haven’t had such amazing food in a long time , that not only tasted exceptional but looked great as well. The service was awesome as well and so was the ambiance. Would definitely recommend.“

“Overall, a nice & chill Thai restaurant. Great food, nicely served.

I don’t go often to Thai spots, since this one was on my list, I was looking forward to try!

We came on a Sunday for a lunch and it was pretty quiet. We sat outside. They had a few good options, we got Thai dumplings (chicken & veggies), chicken satay, pad thai and pad see ew.

The starts were good. The chicken satay with that peanut sauce was delicious.
The pad thai and pad see ew had really nice portions for us - maybe having starters helped make us full faster. But, i still felt like portions were generous. The food was tasty, good in my opinion. Again, not an expert here but it was to my taste.

We left the place satisfied, so I would definitely recommend for anyone around to try. Easy and simple Thai restaurant.“

“Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. We split two dishes. The flavor was solid on both, but definitely indulge in their hot sauces because it elevates everything from great to phenomenal. Would honestly eat here everyday if I lived nearby.“

“Who would’ve thought that some of the best Thai food in the U.S. is hiding in Harbor City? I really wish I’d discovered Warin Thai Restaurant sooner—I'd be a regular by now! Instead, I kept going back to what I thought was the best Thai spot in L.A., all while unknowingly driving right past Warin Thai every time. Now that I’ve found it, I have to say, this place is a hidden gem.

To be honest, the restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside. But that’s pretty much the case with most places around here. Warin Thai is located in an old, modest strip mall, but let’s be real—you’re not here for the ambiance. You’re here for the incredible food, and trust me, it’s well worth it.

The menu at Warin Thai isn’t as huge as some other Thai restaurants, but it doesn’t need to be. There’s more than enough amazing options, from soups (which you can get by the bowl or pot), to appetizers like crispy chicken wings, fresh Thai salads, stir-fries, noodles, curries, and even dessert like mango sticky rice. Prices are pretty reasonable, too—about $8-14 for soups, starters, salads, and desserts, and $13-19 for the mains. And believe me, every bite is fantastic.

Here’s what we had for dinner:

Pad Thai ($13.95) – Stir-fried rice noodles with eggs, bean sprouts, cilantro, lime, and a tasty sauce.
Pad See Ew ($13.95) – Stir-fried flat rice noodles with eggs and Chinese broccoli.
Garlic Salmon ($17.95) – Grilled salmon served with spinach and mashed potatoes, topped with garlic sauce.
Green Curry ($13.95) – Homemade green curry paste sautéed with coconut milk, bamboo shoots, and eggplant.
Panang Curry ($13.95) – Thai basil, bell peppers, and kaffir lime leaves in a rich Panang coconut curry.
Glass Noodle Salad ($13.95) – A refreshing mix of ground chicken, shrimp, tomatoes, onions, roasted peanuts, and cilantro, tossed in a spicy lime juice dressing.
Thai Fried Rice ($13.95) – Classic fried rice with egg, onions, and tomatoes.

Every dish was phenomenal. As someone with a Thai background who’s been to Thailand countless times, I’ve got to say I was seriously impressed. Thai people usually aren’t easily wowed by Thai food in the U.S., but this place totally nailed it.

It’s hard to pick a favorite because everything was just that good, but if I had to choose one, the Glass Noodle Salad really stood out. It was honestly one of the best salads I’ve ever had—juicy, sweet, spicy, and packed with flavor. It’s a must-order for sure.

Overall, the food here is consistently amazing. If you’re craving Thai food, don’t hesitate—Warin Thai is where you want to go. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Poom is just straight up the goat. This restaurant is so fire. The curry is great, the noodles are amazing, the rice is incredible. The environment is beautiful there are fish tanks, plants, and beautiful art on the walls. Poom poom poom Poom poom“

“Good food(easy pickup to go), nice service & a parking lot behind...Thanks. Plan to visit again soon/often“

“Tasty food and great atmosphere“

“excellent, delicious and authentic“

“Despite its small size, Three Spice Thai Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience, with food that is well worth the price. The restaurant's intimate setting, combined with its excellent service and cleanliness, makes it a venue that patrons will want to return to again and again.“

“I've been ordering from Bamboo forever, and after taking a short break, I placed an order for the first time in a couple of months. They accidentally got my noodle order wrong, but the moment they realized it, they rushed the correct one over right away. Hands down the best Thai food I’ve ever had—they’re number one in my book!“

“Great food, great prices, great customer service. Been coming here for the past couple years or so, and we always leave in a better state of being than when we arrive! <3“

“We’ll definitely come back! Everything is good!“

“—Pacific Rim Thai Kitchen—
#Pacific Rim Thai Kitchen

I was traveling by car in Los Angeles. I remember that day after I left Santa Monica Beach, I headed to Manhattan Beach after noon. I found Pacific Rim Thai Kitchen near my hotel because I had already eaten In-N in the morning. -Out of the burger, I want to eat it with white rice! Because Thai food has fried pork rice, which is very on point.

@ Los Angeles, California“

“Excellent across the board. Spacious & clean dining area, tasty dishes & Excellent customer service. On this occasion, my wife and I had chicken pad Thai, garlic rice & chicken skewers... their Thai iced tea is also delicious. If you're haven't tried Nara Thai, you are missing out.“

“This is my go-to spot for Thai food. The Tom Kha soup is incredible, the chicken fried rice comes with a flavorful garlic sauce, and the yellow curry over brown rice is wonderfully rich. The service is consistently excellent too. Highly recommend!“

“I have been here several times and each time it's different. The food is usually very good. I have wanted to try the Drunken noodles for a while now and I finally did. I don't know if they have different cooks but that day the noodles were overcooked, very, very soft like a half step from just mushy which made it hard to taste all the seasoning of the dish. We also had the chicken satay with a peanut butter sauce and onion and cucumber vinaigrette which was definitely delicious. The Thai tea was okay“

“Love their Garlic pepper im so addicted to that dish“

“The food was very good! I will be visiting again“

“1 hour massage and pad thai“

“Outstanding drinks! Go for happy hour.
Very tasty and strong. Came across this gem by accident. Did a search for restaurants nearby our hotel and this was within walking distance. Clean and modern establishment with a very helpful and friendly staff. Appears to be family run.

I have recommended this place and have returned a couple of times since my first review. It's always fun. The place has great energy very clean and always enjoyable.

To be honest I have not had a sit-down dinner here but can imagine just buy the quality of the drinks and the appetizers it would be amazing.

They offer great happy hour appetizers and drinks. Tried a couple of appetizers which were excellent. And the drinks were amazing. I will definitely return when I am near the area again.

And will make sure it's during their happy hour times. Very nice perfect for the happy hour drinks and appetizers.

Very much looking forward to my next return to this gem.“

“omg!! this place has fabulous food been a fan and customer for 20 + years move to Pasadena but every time I'm in the LA area a must blessing keep moving here Lolo“

“Swan Thai RPV is such a peaceful, hidden gem with an amazing beach view. Whether you sit indoors or outdoors, the setting is beautiful and makes for a really relaxing dining experience. It’s the kind of place where you can take your time and enjoy your meal.

The Pad Thai was excellent — flavorful and perfectly cooked. The fried rice was just okay, not bad but nothing too memorable. Still, the overall vibe and hospitality more than make up for it. The staff is very kind and welcoming, which adds to the charm.

This place has become one of my mom’s favorites, and I can see why! Great for a casual lunch or laid-back dinner with a view. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in the area.“

“Great customer service and the food is delicious.“

“I'm glad Jetta Thai is back! They still have delicious food and the employees are so nice! I cannot emphasize how much I enjoy this place, I definitely recommend if you like Thai food.

Kid-friendliness: My son loves the Thai food from here!“

“Very affordable and generous portions. I really enjoyed the dumplings and the Pad Thai. The rice felt a bit plain, and they don’t serve much tofu—it’s actually very little. I’d say one dish is enough for two people. Updated from previous review on 2025-08-12“

“Best Thai food I’ve ever eaten.“

“Very happy! Super good! Started with their flakey Brussels sprouts with a kick. Then did a seafood plate in chili garlic sauce! Everything was so good and the 4 pot of spices and sauces they bring were amazing!“

“A VERY NICE PLACE TO EAT! Very professional staff.“

“Closest I've come to my favorite Thai food! Price is good, and one of the best Thai food places in the area. You get a good amount for decent money, and the service is nice. They were very attentive, and kind. It's also fairly quiet which I love!“

“I’ve dined here with family and friends for decades. Good food, good hospitality, reasonable prices, and a pleasant room. Never a disappointment. Friendly too.“

“Food was good. I had the Panang Curry and Chicken Satay. I would order from here again but only for take out. The restaurant was very hot and it made eating hot food difficult. However, they may have better AC when a heatwave isn't coming through.“

“If you're looking for delicious, authentic Thai food, Bangkok Sapphires Thai Cuisine is a fantastic choice!

I tried their crab fried rice and chicken satay, and both were packed with flavor. The food was well-prepared, and even when ordering takeout, everything was hot and fresh upon arrival.

The mom and pop restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, and the service is friendly. Whether you're dining in or grabbing food to go, they take care to ensure a great experience.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving traditional Thai flavors in Torrance!“
