50 Best Thai Restaurants near Orange

“We came before the rush lunch time so there’s no wait but soon after it got very packed.
Orders came very quickly and each order was enough for 4 people to share. But it didn’t come with rice. We had to order it. Shrimps from two orders were very big and fresh. Northern Thai Khad soi chicken curry was very tasty.
Staff was very friendly but maybe it was during lunch hours was a bit of noisy. Not easy to talk.“

“Thai Town in downtown Orange is a solid spot for Thai food with a chill, laid-back vibe that makes the experience worth the visit. I went with some friends and we shared an order of the Pad Thai noodles with chicken, house fried rice with tofu, and yellow curry with chicken and potatoes. The food overall was decent and satisfying. The Pad Thai had a nice, slightly sweet flavor and was cooked just right—classic comfort food with tender pieces of chicken mixed in. The fried rice with tofu was simple but tasty, with a good texture and well-balanced seasoning that didn’t overpower. The yellow curry was creamy and mild, featuring long pieces of chicken and potatoes that soaked up the rich coconut flavor nicely. The chicken was tender the potatoes were very firm.

Inside, the restaurant has a clean and casual feel—nothing fancy, but comfortable and easy to relax in. The real bonus, though, is the atmosphere outside. Downtown Orange has a super chill vibe, and it adds a lot to the experience. Whether you're eating inside and stepping out afterward or grabbing takeout to enjoy nearby, the location makes a difference.

Overall, Thai Town is a good go-to if you’re looking for a laid-back place with dependable Thai dishes. It’s not flashy, but it hits the spot and is definitely a place worth returning.“

“I've tried many Thai spots in the city of orange, but out of all them, this has been my favorite.
What i love is that they pride themselves on making really flavorful whilst keeping the flavors nicely balanced. Definitely pay attention when asked about the spice levels they do a really good job about it. I love spicy food and got several dishes medium plus, I enjoyed them very much. However, going back next time, I will probably order a lower level of spicy. Love their papaya salad with medium spice. Their egg rolls are killer. All in all, I can keep going on about this place. It's definitely worth at least trying it once. Staff is super friendly 👌.“

“Nice, chill, low-key vibe here, but better yet -- food quality is up there with the best Thai in Orange County. And they manage to do it all with reasonable, competitive prices.
Been here exactly twice and I can confidently state that this is my new favorite OC Thai restaurant.
(And it doesn't hurt that they offer a free Thai iced tea while you wait for your order).
Recommended: any of their featured specialties, including the curries, crying tiger, crab fried rice, papaya salad.“

“We came here for a dinner. On a Saturday night as we love Thai food. This place was so quiet and peaceful. Basically being vegetarians we were looking for some options. We found plenty. Drunken noodles and pineapple curry were so tasty and had just enough flavours, mild and delicious. We tried their home made coconut icecream, was one of the best I had. Prices were extremely affordable and the lady who served was kind to us. Would highly recommend this place. Would wish more people could visit this place and keep their business flourishing.“

“The best Thai cuisine in town, Chef is from Thailand, authentic taste as well. Walked in with my husband in mid-Dec, we both are Green / Red chicken curry lovers, price is right, enjoyable food, strongly recommend. Then, got lunch special take out today, it was fast prepared. Brought it home, food temperature and taste remained Hot/Delicious as we expected. Definitely would visit or take out again.“

“I ordered the Chicken pad thai (Medium Spice) not thai level spice so if I do come back, definitely getting spicy with extra spice on the side. The space inside makes you feel like you're transported back to Thailand (there was a cab in the front of the menu screen) and limited seating, a couple of tables outside. Overall rating, 4.6 stars for me, I know google doesn't give me the options for the point six. The pad thai was really good, not too mushy, chicken not over done and love that they added the Vietnamese chives ( hẹ) and bean sprouts along with peanuts, gives an extra crunch in every bite. (Menu are as of June 7, 2024)“

“Delivery or Dine in, food is always excellent! Workers are very friendly all the time. I’ve never had any problems ordering food. Remember Thai Chili if you are in the neighborhood of Anaheim/Orange area, you’ll never be disappointed ?“

“One of the few authentic Vietnamese restaurants I have found in orange county!“

“great food. friendly service“

“It is the best Thai street food in Town. The best Sevice, Friendly Stuff and best Chef. I ordered Crab fried rice, Ku Moo Yang, and crispy belly Kra pow, Banana Grandma, Meatloaf salad. And Mango sticky Rice. They were good like the name of the restaurant! Say Yum! I recommend!!“

“My wife and I are big fans of Thai cuisine, and last night we decided to try Signature Thai Bistro. We were intrigued because it occupies the same space as Supatra's, a spot we used to frequent years ago before the change in ownership. We called ahead to make a reservation and were seated promptly within a minute of our arrival. My wife follows a gluten-free vegan diet, and Thai food has always been a reliable choice for her. She called in advance to ensure options were available, and the staff was accommodating. Our server, Paul, was outstanding. He went above and beyond to ensure the kitchen was informed about my wife's dietary needs, making the experience seamless and stress-free. Here's what we ordered: Tom Kha Soup: Excellent, bursting with rich and vibrant flavors. Summer Rolls: My wife loved them--fresh and perfectly prepared. Mango Mood drink: Another hit, beautifully balanced and refreshing. Wine: A familiar choice for my wife that paired well with the meal. String Beans and Eggplant: Very delicious, with bold and flavorful seasoning. Crying Tiger: Unfortunately, this dish didn't meet my expectations and is one we wouldn't recommend. Overall, the food was excellent, aside from the Crying Tiger, and the service was exceptional. Special thanks to Paul for his attentiveness and genuine kindness. We highly recommend Signature Thai Bistro for its delicious offerings and top-notch service.“

“I googled for thai food and saw this place had a really high rating. I went there and was a little surprised when I walked in and it's like a little booth in a mall. Don't let that deter you. I got the Tom kha soup and pad thai noodles. Both were excellent. This will be my new go to place for thai food when I'm working in Anaheim.“

“Very good Thai food! I consider myself a Thai aficionado and I’ve gotta say this place hit the spot. The owner was very friendly and brought the food out to us personally. It’s a satellite kitchen pick up spot with a few tables & chairs to eat if you’d like to dine in. Highly recommend 👌🏾“

“Love This here Food is great! I don't think that I have ever been disappointed with there food. Wait staff is great!“

“Cool decor! Built by owner! Must visit! Have your espresso here!“

“This is the best Thai food I’ve had in all of OC. I had the spicy pork noodle soup and golden pouches, both were 10 out of 10, and the Thai coffee was the perfect accompaniment to the spicy meal! Can’t wait to go again. Excellent service too!“

“I have been to many Thai restaurants but this one stands out with tastety food and outstanding service .... strongly recommend you to try their food“

“First timer to Basil Thai and it was quite good. The location is a small place with a dozen tables and at 5pm on a Thursday, not busy. The anchor store for this shopping center was obviously T.J.
Service was fast, english was spoken clearly at my table with I guess Thai (?) spoken behind the counter. I had Chicken Basil Thai Fried Noodle plate and Tom Yum Noodle Bowl. I could not finish it all which is a good thing for takeaway. Both have a light spicy foundation that was not overwhelming and sufficient for lighter Thai palates. As a local customer, I will return.“

“Delish and great staff. The staff IS family and they treat not only their customers like family, but the other staff as well. That means a lot. We had a fun time with DJ and Pleng. About the food... We had 4 dishes... Hanuman's ceviche, Tom Kha Gai, Massaman, Pad See Ew and a nice glass of Malbec. My favorites were the ceviche and Massaman. But everything was so good. Hubs liked everything. There was literally no wait at 3 pm but come soon... Once word gets out this place will have a 45 min wait just like the mother location on Bristol.“

“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.“

“Excellent Food! Nice staff.“

“Crab fried rice ( it's like a rocket fireworks) AMAZING 10/10 stars. Tom kah soup 9/10 stars. Yellow curry chicken 7/10 stars. Papaya salad 7/10 stars. Fried wonton 8/10 stars. To finish the meal the sweet mango with sweet rice amazing too 9/10 stars . This is a nice place my family loves it. Come try this place . Have a great day. BTW they are sweet and friendly people.“

“Very good Thai food. Staff were very friendly. Good price for portions.“

“From the service to the food, everything was amazing! My new favorite restaurant!!!“

“Nice spot located in this cool food court
Fast service
Decent prices considering inflation in 2024
I got the khao soi dish - a famous thai entree
Chicken was a bit squishy - but still delicious
Soup was rich and creamy
4/5 total overall rating“

“Run by a Thai family with 7 sisters. This restaurant tastes exactly the same as point-and-scoop shops in Thailand. $9/$10 for a 2-item/3-item combo, respectively. Highly recommend this place for quality Thai food at a very reasonable price.“

“We love Thai fix! We have been coming here for years. We moved to the other side of HB about 2 years ago but we drive over to grab Thai Fix about 1-2 times a month. I love their Pad Tai with chicken, Green Curry and my husband loves the Pad See Ew. We would recommend you try it for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.“

“The food is delicious...and the staff at the restaurant are very good. The owner is friendly and lovely.“

“Great Thai food! I recommend the asparagus shrimp and the pad kee mao. Friendly staff. Inexpensive.“

“One of my local favs for thai food. Fast friendly service, loved the new sauce containers. Got my go to pineapple fried rice, perfect flavoring and good portion sizing/pricing. Tried the green beans with tofu for the first time and wasn't disappointed. We even had enough for a to-go box. Gave 4* for service and atmosphere because they had this coconut chiffon cake on display but then said it was not available until maybe 2 weeks later! 😞 Also it was a bit chilly inside.🥶
I guess I'll be back in a few weeks to update this review if I get to have some cake!“

“The Chicken Rice is one of the top spots in OC for original Khao Man Gai. It’s been a minute since my last visit, so I was surprised to discover that they relocated from their previous Santa Ana location into the 4th Street Market. The Chicken Rice joins a number of innovative food makers featured in this food hall. I parked at a nearby meter but according to their website, there are two parking structures off of 4th and 5th Streets that offer the first 2 hours free!

I recommend making it a combo with the Chicken & Rice which includes 2 choices of protein, soup and vegetables. My go-to protein choices are Hainanese Chicken and Crispy Chicken, so I get to enjoy the best of both worlds! The combo includes a choice of signature ginger rice or steamed rice, but you can choose brown rice (+$1) or sticky rice (+$2) for an additional charge. They also allow their customers to select 2 sauces from 8 different options. The Ginger Chicken Oil is a nice complement to the Hainanese Chicken and I enjoyed dipping the Crispy Chicken in their Spicy Soybean Chili Ginger sauce. If you’re a Hainan Chicken fan like I am, The Chicken Rice is a must try!“

Family friendly: 4/5
Stroller friendly: 2/5
ADA accessible: 2/5

First off, the service here is excellent!

Second, the food is great as well and very reasonably priced. We ended up ordering pad se ew with chicken ($10.99), green curry with chicken ($11.99), and panang Curry with chicken ($11.99), and Mango Sticky rice (was complimentary but usually $8.99) because my 2 y/o wouldn't stop crying. It was like magic for us. Not so much for him because he not used to those flavors yet lol. Only downside I thought about the food was the pad se ew needed just a touch more stir fry sauce,but other than that everything else was great!

The place inside is cozy. I feel like it seats about 30 people max and there are 2 booths, so if you have a stroller like we did, it gets tight. Not too sure how a Wheelchair would fit, but I'm sure the staff would be very willing to accommodate. As far parking, it's limited in a street corner 4 Plex, but come at the right time and you're good.

Overall, I definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.“

“Food is excellent! Customer service is outstanding!“

“Tried Thai 7 Bistro for the first time and loved it!! My wife and I ordered take out and enjoyed each dish. The Chicken Pad Thai was right there with my favorite pad Thai dishes I’ve had. The flavor was on point with juicy chicken, peanuts, and lime. We also ordered the yellow curry with tofu. Their yellow curry had a great depth of flavor with the creaminess of the coconut milk and a nice mild curry flavor. To top it off I got the Thai iced tea, always a great drink! The service was quick and friendly, our take out was ready in a quick 15 minutes! Highly recommend!“

“Good place for family dinner“

“The Pad Thai here is the best one I have tasted so far“

“The best Pad See Ew I have ever had
and I have eaten A LOT! I cannot describe the joy this place gives me :))

The food is made incredibly quickly and the process of retrieving it is so smooth. Five stars all around.

TRY THE PAD SEE EW, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!“

“Delicious, freshly prepared cuisine.“

“Great Thai food nice Service 👍❤️“

“Best Thai food ever, especially for the price. They are quick, affordable, and delicious. I LOVE their Thai Spice fried rice and Pad Thai. If you are in the mood for Thai food, look no further and try this place!

Vegetarian options: You can get tofu or veggies with most dishes“

“The food is delicious I’ll be back for more love their panang curry 😋“

“The new Sanfransokyo menu is amazing! I had the Beef Birria Ramen and the Big Hero 6 Macaron. Both delicious. But the winner was the Lychee Strawberry cocktail. Refreshing and with a little kick“

“The food was good, but the service needs work. We got our food at 8:56, and right after a short break, two server came over asking if we wanted boxes, which felt rushed and uncomfortable. On top of that, server kept giving us judgmental looks.“

“It’s great 🥰 I love itttttttttttttt“

“I have been going to Thai Pepper for decades now. There food is always just spot on and the lunch special of $9.95 is a great deal. You get an entree in which I always get The Mint Leaves Chicken, fried rice, two fried wontons and a salad. My only suggestion would be to put the salad in a separate little box so it does not get hot next to the hot food. Other than that the food is excellent and great prices. You can get it mild to very hot on the spice! I stick with mild and my friend always gets the level 10 hot, hot, 🔥🥵 HOT. I would die, but different strokes for different folks.👍🤤🎉“

“I would give more than 5 stars if there was an option to. This is my favorite, local Thai food place. I've had several different dishes (pad Thai, curries, drunken noodles, veggies, soups, etc). Everything I've had here is amazing and also tastes better than other nearby places (better quality and value!). Plus, I love knowing I'm supporting a local, family business. This is by far my favorite little worthwhile hole-in-the-wall spot and a regular go-to for me. If you want to become a regular somewhere, this place is worth frequenting.“

“What a pleasant surprise to find this little place tucked in the Santa Ana/Tustin area on Glassell and Fairhaven in the Big Lots shopping strip. Bangkok Taste is small eatery, would probably seat about 30 people but the flavors are pretty big. We didn't have a large supper because we were on our way to a party where there would be more food. But we couldn't eat at the party because we were so full from a plate each pad see ew pork and chicken, angel wings, massaman curry, rice and mango sticky rice to finish it off. What a feast! Plenty leftover for today's lunch. The only thing we didn't finish was the mango sticky rice. The coconut milk was a bit watery, almost no flavor which was a contrast to the absolutely heavenly coconut massaman curry. We don't live in the area but we visit a few times a month so we'll be back and take our time. Friendly and prompt service, great first experience, clean tables and chairs. Loved it!

Parking: It's a strip mall and they're three doors down from Big Lots so there's plenty of parking if you can't find anything directly in front of the eatery.“

“Food here is on another level. One of the few Thai places I've ever eaten at using the freshest herbs and seasonings along with high quality proteins and other ingredients. Really elevated food that is consistently delicious. Get the drunken noodles for sure.“

“Thanks to them the first time i came in was able to have a thanksgiving meal when i had no food at home. I even brought my mom and daughter and they love it. Ever since i have been loving everything about this place, they know i like my seafood the spiciest. ? I need to go back soon, i miss you guys!?❤️

Parking: In a shopping area with plenty of surrounding parking available.“
