Amazing food, reasonably priced and exceptional customer service! What a great spot to eat while out at Disneyland to visit. The place itself is a cute spot. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area! **shrimp panang curry was our favorite dish!

This place used to be really good and my go to Thai spot in the area. If you get togo I do not recommend getting the flat rice noodles as they will be way too soft and mushy. The meats are tough... The beef, chicken and pork was hard and dry. 5 stars still because they are still a small business and hope this review helps change things.

Wonderful place, filled with joy and yummy food. Every employee I have interacted with is such a delightful person. I am obsessed with their pineapple curry chicken. When my wife was pregnant, she grew aversive to curry. I totally understand, and I love her beyond anything. Still. I still got the curry every once in a while and just ate it in the other room, so she wouldn't get sick (pregnancy aversions, I mean no offense!) Absolutely worth it to eat here.

Only picked up take out so this is a food-only review. NAVA THAI did not disappoint. Authentic Thai food with great portions. Everything was ready as promised; prompt and hot food. Can't go wrong with $12 for a Red Curry lunch special.

Food was absolutely amazing. No doubt about it. But, I would give them less than 1 star if I could. Caught them red handed double tipping. So be warn, it might be just a couple dollars and won’t matter much, but it’s the ethics that bothers me. Won’t be eating here ever again.Edit*** Spoke with them again and it was an accident typo when inputting the charges in. They have fully refunded me and acknowledge their mistakes. I’m very thankful for this restaurant considerations and actions. Amazing staff and most of all amazing food!

This was hands down the best massamun curry I've had in forever! The server was super friendly and attentive, and made it a very pleasant experience. The restaurant was beautiful and very clean, though parking is a bit funny. Overall, my new favorite Thai restaurant! I will for sure be going back!

Nava Thai is my favorite Thai place in OC since 2020. I'm a Vegetarian and they offer dishes without fish sauce, so it's a great place for vegetarians/vegans. I'd recommend their cream cheese wantons, Green curry, Panang Curry, Pad see-ew and Mango sticky rice. Love their consistency and quality of food. This has become my go-to place. Must try!

I love Nava Thai. It's my go-to Thai restaurant for any day of the week. I've tried many of the dishes including the standard ones you see at just about every Thai restaurant: pad thai, pad see ew, larb, and panang curry. They're all great. Nothing that will blow your mind and which I'd be dragging people to come try, but they're all really great. The restaurant also includes a couple dishes that are personal favorites of mine that you don't normally find at every Thai restaurant. These include Boat Noodle Soup (aka Floating Market Soup) and Massamun Curry. I love these two dishes. The only dish I've tried at this restaurant that I didn't love was the Spicy Wings. They actually weren't bad but they just didn't have anything uniquely Thai about their flavor. And if I wanted standard wings, I can go to any wing shop. But that's on me for ordering something that wasn't Thai from a Thai restaurant so I won't hold that against this place. Aside from the food, the restaurant is nice and the staff are very friendly. During peak lunch time, the restaurant can get full and there's only one waitress so you might have to wait. But it's worth it and the takeout is fast and furious so that's an option as well. I moved to California about a month and a half ago and I've already been to this restaurant 3 times.

Late-night visit to Nava Thai after mini-golf with the fam proved promising. Despite the empty dining area, the to-go orders were bustling. The waitress was sweet and attentive, and the Thai iced tea hit the mark with its balanced sweetness. Here's a rundown of the food: 1. Egg rolls: Decent, nothing extraordinary, but a satisfying choice. 2. Satay Chicken: A flavorful and moist starter with a side of tasty peanut sauce and cucumber salad. 3. Tom Yum Soup: The star of the meal, perfectly balancing sour and spice. Opted for medium heat, which lacked intensity, so consider going above medium for spice lovers. 4. Pad See Ew: Good, though a bit on the dry side. Typically, this dish has a bit more sauce, but still enjoyable. 5. Lard Na: A standout with unique, slimy noodles. The waitress warned about the texture, but the delicious sauce made up for it. Not recommended for those particular about food texture. Parking was convenient, and the ambiance added to the overall positive experience.
