Restaurant is absolutely wonderful! My sweetie took me there for my birthday and we both enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere. Yes, it’s a bit small inside but it does not take away from still worth it.

The food is usually good here. Been there several times. Totally different experience with the family yesterday 08/03/2025. Maybe because it was near closing time, Our orders were of very poor quality. Mushy crab? fried rice with a burnt deep fried egg??? The other dishes were subpar compared to previous times. Please respect people who come in and spend their money and please serve fresh food. 2/10 yesterday. Wasted $120. No tip of course. Very bad experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give more stars, I would! My experience at Thai Dishes was already amazing thanks to the food—but what made it truly unforgettable was our server, my absolute waiter homie.
From the second we sat down, he brought the energy: super friendly, fast, and genuinely cool. he made the whole experience feel personal, like we were longtime friends just vibing over pad thai and Thai tea. He checked in at all the right times without hovering, had great recommendations , and handled everything with total chill and confidence.
You can tell he actually cares about people, not just the job. 10/10 service, 100/10 attitude. Give that man a raise, a medal, and a lifetime supply of curry. Thai Dishes, y’all are lucky to have him—he’s the real MVP!

Such a great find! We came for lunch and the place was pleasantly packed — always a good sign. The service was warm, the portions were generous, and everything we ordered came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor.
The crispy pork dish was a standout — perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice and crunch. The Thai iced tea with crystal boba was delicious and not too sweet, and the Tom Yum noodle soup with chicken? Bright, comforting, and just the right level of heat. Exactly what you’d hope for from a classic.
Even the little side salad was crisp and well-dressed — no soggy fillers here. This is the kind of place that gets the classics right and still manages to surprise you. You can tell they’ve been loved by locals for years. I’ll definitely be back.

Some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had - this is our South Bay hidden gem! Lots of vegetarian options, all curries are great, friendly staff, and the outdoor patio is nice.
71.50 before tip 1.Ribs-no sides 2. Curry-rice not included-I hate when they make you pay extra for rice! 3. Papaya salad 4.Rice- because it is extra 5. One reg iced tea And it was 71.50!!!! That’s not with tip My husband who got the ribs with no sides, oh it comes with a side of sriracha..lol got home and ate a bowl of cereal. Never again. Drive a mile inland and pay 1/3 the price

Thai Dishes in Manhattan Beach is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine! The moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm atmosphere and the enticing aromas of freshly prepared dishes.
I ordered the pad thai and the green curry, and both were exceptional! The pad thai was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and spice, while the green curry was rich, creamy, and packed with fresh veggies.
The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The menu offers a wide variety of options, so there’s something for everyone.
If you’re in Manhattan Beach and looking for delicious Thai food, I highly recommend checking out Thai Dishes! I can’t wait to return and try more of their amazing offerings!

Thai Dishes in Manhattan Beach is hands down one of the best Thai restaurants in the South Bay area! They use traditional cooking methods to create classic Thai dishes with authentic, bold flavors that truly transport you to Thailand.
Some of our favorite dishes are the Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, and both the yellow and green curries—each one perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. During lunch, they offer a fantastic lunch special for just $15 per dish, making it a great value for such high-quality food.
The Pad Thai stood out with its balance of distinctive Thai vinaigrette and a hint of sweetness, perfectly capturing the essence of the dish. To wrap up the meal, we indulged in their sweet rice mango dessert, which was exceptional. The sticky rice had a wonderfully firm texture, pairing beautifully with the sweet, ripe mango.
Service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and fast. Parking was a breeze with a convenient lot located right next to the restaurant.
If you’re in the South Bay and craving authentic Thai cuisine, Thai Dishes is a must-visit!
