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😊“

“Very friendly staff, easy parking, reasonable prices.

I got the Thai Boat Noodle Soup and it was flavorful and rich but slightly salty. It had lots of meat pieces and I liked the pho noodles. The portion was perfect for filling me up, but I don't eat that much.
My wife liked the tofu green curry. It was very lemon grassy.

Overall, I would come back to try other dishes.“

“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.“

“Stopped in for dinner and got the drunken noodle, papaya salad, and khao soi. All were delicious. Thai spicy level wasn't too bad, but I might have gotten the american thai spicy version. Everything was delicious a d service was great.“

“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“

“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“

“Hadn't been here in years since we no longer pass this way. That's gonna change. Visited for dinner last night these guys deserve your business. They did a great job redecorating. The service is great. The food is awesome. Portions are generous. But most of all, the prices are extremely reasonable. In this age of skyrocketing costs, they've managed to keep themselves in my price range. Honestly just about everyone else has not. Reward these guys for their efforts. Get out there now!“

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

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“—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“

“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“

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

“I'm always looking for a good Thai restaurant and WARIN is now my new favorite. I love the Yellow Curry and my wife loves your Fried Tofu Pad See Ew. I come from Long Beach for this, thanks WARIN for the best Thai food and thanks to my friend Mook for excellent service. 😊👍🙏“

“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!“

“Tasty food and great atmosphere“

“I have been coming here for five years now and when I tell you, their food is fresh it is made to order and it is so good, I mean it. The service is superb. The people are so nice and the restaurant itself is very clean and it smells so good in here.. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family.“

“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“

“excellent, delicious and authentic“

“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“

“I don’t usually crave Thai food, but my husband loves it, so we’ve tried a few spots in the area. Honestly, this is one of the better ones we’ve been to.

We’ve dined here twice now, and both times we ordered the combo Pad Thai and the chicken green curry—both were excellent. The portions are generous, packed with protein, and full of flavor. I’m particular about Pad Thai; I don’t like it overly saucy, but I also don’t want it too dry. This one strikes the perfect balance, making it just right for me.

This is our go to place when we are wanting Thai food, hopefully it doesn’t go out of business“

“The Dragonfly Thai is a local takeout/ eat -in establishment. Hubby and I ordered two different dishes. His was flavorful and well-received (Thai Kung Pao). Mine, Pad Thai with tofu, was rather bland and I needed to keep adding additional sauces to enhance the noodles. I ordered extra vegetables (paid extra) - and frankly it was hard to see what were the extra veggies and which were the ones that came with the dish. The staff were very kind and business was busy. I would go back - but not order the Pad Thai.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

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

“1 hour massage and pad thai“

“Sartori is a very good restaurant that have some delicious soups and Dishes. Please insist on getting a fried egg on top of your Crab Fried Rice since a young lady was in the process of marking it off on the Menu. I brought it to her attention and she was not happy about it. Remember you mark it off the Menu today tomorrow you will be marking " For Sale" in front of Sartori's. Customers' reviews make or break a restaurant.“

“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!“

“Best Thai food I’ve ever eaten.“

“The pad Thai is so good! I recommend this to anyone that eats here! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

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

“I usually order Phuket Thai for delivery before a pool day, but this time I decided to dine in before a beach walk—and it didn’t disappoint. Their $15 lunch specials are a local gem: choice of entrée, soup or salad, and rice. I went with the Spicy Basil, and wow—SO good, packed with fresh veggies and that perfect Thai chili kick. The Tom Kha soup was equally delicious—creamy, tangy, and comforting without being heavy.

Service was quick and extremely friendly, and the vibe is casual but welcoming—exactly what you want for a pre-beach lunch spot. The only reason this is a 4-star instead of 5? No full bar (I’m a cocktail lover — hence the soju mangotini) Otherwise, Phuket Thai is a must-try if you’re in South Redondo and craving authentic flavors before heading to the sand.“

“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!“

“The food was great however I’m not a fan of the younger cashier/waitress. She snatched my $20 when I paid for my food and ignored me when I asked for chopsticks.“

“We had a great meal at Ubon for lunch. The food was very fresh and flavorful and they had some unique options on the menu. The server was a very nice gentleman who made good suggestions. The dining room is pretty compact and I imagine they get pretty busy as the food is excellent. The peanut sauce with the fresh rolls is very distinct and better than others I have tried while the crying tiger beef is extremely tender and comes with another excellent sauce. The Tom Yum broth was perfection and the sizzling seafood was very tender and tasty and not super spicy but a bit of a kick. Overall this is a great place to grab a meal while shopping or anytime. The location is the far corner of the shopping center back near the in and out burger and mini IHOP. This is some great tasting Thai food with big flavors.. the prices are reasonable. There is plenty of parking in the shopping center which is all free of course. Overall this place was great and we will be back to try more of the menu at Ubon Thai Kitchen.“
