50 Best Thai Restaurants near Orange

“Hidden gem in Orange, CA that is hard to forget. I came here with someone very special to me and it's safe to say, they loved it as much as I did. Our server, Uma greeted us upon entering with a warm smile and she was just so lovely throughout the course of our dinner. She was very attentive and ensured that we were satisfied with the food and our experience periodically throughout the night. They truly care about their customer's satisfaction.

We ordered 1) Tom Kah (Coconut Soup), Medium Spicy 2) Fried Rice with Chicken, 3) Pad See Ew with Beef, Medium Spicy and their iconic 4)Mango Sticky Rice.

As I documented pictures of our meal throughout the night, clearly the Mango Sticky Rice dessert was so irresistible that when delivered to our table, we dove right in before photographing it. (Photos attached)

I would HIGHLY recommend the Coconut Soup as it is my absolute favorite item from this location. And their Pad See Ew is the best Pad See Ew I have ever had.

Lastly, the fried rice with chicken was made to perfection and so much so that my date and I deduced that their secret ingredient must be love.

The owners truly care about their guest experience and I can't stress that enough.

If you have the opportunity to dine in, please do so. But if you're unable to dine in, I can reassure you that once you try their dishes, you'll never forget them.“

“I have been coming to this restaurant for many, many years. Staff is awesome and friends,with majority of the staff. They know exactly my order.Even when I call they know who it is on the phone. I highly recommend to try the crying tiger and MY RIB & KHAO SOI. Mmmm sooo good 👍“

“I love Nava Thai! This is my local go to Thai Spot for both dine in and take out. The food is always fresh, the portions are just right and the service is great. I highly recommend Nava Thai to anyone who is scared to try a new spot. I know how that can be, trust me...you won't be sorry.“

“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.“

“Ordered the yellow coconut curry with chicken and pad see ew with beef. Enjoyed it so much it had a nice little kick to it. The spring rolls here are delicious! Took some more to go. We ended it with mango sticky rice and wow perfect ending to our meal. Not busy on a Saturday 2 hours before closing. Must try!“

“I had a delightful experience at this establishment. It felt very family oriented and extremely friendly. The food was amazing. I ordered the Shrimp Drunken noodles (Pad kee mao). I had them add chicken and a fried egg to my order. It tasted so fresh! Its probably the freshest Drunken noodles I've ever had in my entire life. I also ordered the Laos Sausage and was blown away at the flavor. I will become a regular customer after my frist experience.“

“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!“

“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!!“

The staff were friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service. The restaurant was clean, cozy, and had a warm atmosphere. If you’re looking for delicious Thai and Lao food, I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

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

“Highly recommended, eating here feels like I am in Bangkok already! Thick flavor authentic Thai food😍 everything is perfect and in big portion🥳 recommended this place to my friends when I first came here, and we will come back again and again!“

“Love this place!! This is our third time eating here, we’re actually visiting from NorCal. Everything we’ve tried up to this point has been so yummy, the staff are very nice & the ambiance is a very home-y feel. They play relaxing jazz music & the music isn’t too loud so you can easily have conversations.
This time, we ordered the pork jowl, pineapple red curry with chicken & the pad see ew with shrimp. The pork jowl is definitely a shareable appetizer, it was more than we thought would come out & it came with a tangy spicy sauce. We got the curry medium spicy and it was the perfect spice level for us! It was nice and creamy/smooth. The pad see ew could use a little more soy sauce but otherwise also still good!
Will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Thank you Manon for the delicious food and lovely hospitality!“

“My Yellow Curry with shrimp was delicious! All the food I ordered was scrumptious and flavorful! The food came out hot, which I loved. Their service is good, and I will be returning. Thai Belly is located inside a food hall, where you can sit inside or outside. I like sitting outside to enjoy the view.“

“The best authentic Thai food restaurant in town. Lunch specials are worth to try and definitely will keep you coming back.
Our favorites are bamboo chicken and Curry chicken comes with a good portion of chicken, rice and Tom yam chicken soup as well. Highly recommend.“

“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“

“Friendly service, nice decoration, clean environment and great food!

We had the angel wings( deep fried boneless chicken wing stuffed with pork, shrimp, and chicken) as appetizer. It’s a good crunch. We also have the tom kha seafood soup, very comforting and full of ingredients and spices. the crying tiger is so juicy. And the crab fried rice can really taste the wok. We also tried the new fried pork with Chinese broccoli. For dessert we have the mango sticky rice, I like how it comes with a heart shape!

For drinks we have Thai milk tea, pink milk and fresh coconut. Overall, an authentic Thai restaurant that you should give a try!“

“Excellent Food! Nice staff.“

“They have good food and drinks, I miss the free Thai tea promotion, I don't usually order drinks because we spend over
100 dollars for our family of 4 to eat there . It's a small place so we always get it to go. My favorite is the Crab fried rice, ask for no onions, they sometimes put too many which ruins the flavor for me !“

“Authentic thai restaurant. Staffs are from that country. Goid, clean food and restaurant. Ordered papaya salad, pineapple rice, sticky rice and dumplings.
All good quality. Good for families and company luncheon and dinner. Reasonably price.“

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

“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.“

“LJ’s Lounge was an incredible experience. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and every detail reflected genuine hospitality. But what made the biggest impression on me wasn’t just the food it was the story behind the man and the family. Honoring his mother while creating a lasting legacy for his family and the community is truly inspiring. He’s built more than a lounge; he’s created a place where great music brings people together and connects souls. If you’re looking for amazing food, good vibes, and a place with real heart, LJ’s Lounge is absolutely worth the visit.“

“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.“

“Great Thai food nice Service 👍❤️“

“Dinner in this place was like heaven for me food is so good and I can not believe just found u guys thank u so much may God bless the hands the make my dinner thank u so much service was so nice my first time here and she explained to us 😊 so nice and very helpful try the new shrimp mazamen so good .“

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

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

“Fair prices. Fast, polite service. Really good portions. Very tasty dishes! Ask for the fresh Thai chilies condiment on the side so you can throw it on your dishes. It'll light up your world! We'll be back for sure. I think this is our new favorite Thai restaurant.“

“My group lunch order was an order of chicken satay (comes with four skewers; add in extra peanut sauce for dipping), an order of the pad thai with tofu, an order of the papaya salad (medium-spice level), and an order of the cashew nut chicken (add in extra sauce). The food was tasty, the service was decent, and the atmosphere was good. The restaurant space itself is small, so please do keep that in mind!“

“Food is excellent! Customer service is outstanding!“

“We all enjoyed our food. The chicken appetizer was ok. Beef satay was good. The pad Thai, pad khee mao and massaman curry were all good. The curry had rich, warm flavor. I wish the carrots and potatoes had been a little softer (cooked longer)
There was a bit of confusion with how the spice levels worked and also what we were ordering for an appetizer and wanted to come out first versus what we were ordering for the main course.
The refrigerator makes a loud buzzing noise and it vibrates the restaurant. The wall next to us was shaking“

“Everytime we come to Yorbalinda we have to stop by the Bangkok house Thai, serves one of the best Thai food I’ve ever had even my 3 year old loves it!! We usually order the same, wonton soup, shrimp chow mein and yellow curry this time we order orange chicken and OMYYYY LORD best decision of my life!!! It was crunchy, chicken was soft not too much sauce but definitely not dry. Just perfect.

We’ve also had the thai tea when I tried it I felt like I died and went to heaven, SO GOOD. Mango sticky rice just as good!“

“1. The pad thai was definitely filling, and I love the crispiness of the fried tofu! The thai tea was also refreshing!
2. The spot has chill casual vibes! The interior has high ceilings!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! My food was ready after 10 mins!
Note: There is a bathroom available for customers!

“Delicious, freshly prepared cuisine.“

“Food here are awesome!!! love it .. real Thai food. Try Pad See eww or Chicken krapraw..they are the best!“

“The best Thai Food restaurant in Southern California. I would name my favorite dishes, but there’s too many to choose from 🍛 And I can’t ever skip the mango sticky rice 😍“

“Good place for family dinner“

“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.👍🤤🎉“

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

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

“What a very nice find. We travel to the OC to see an acupuncturist down the road a tad and stopped for a late 2pm lunch. Great Pad Thai and yellow chicken curry. The Thai Ice tea was delicious though a tiny bit more ice than expected, so somewhat watered down. Very nice people!!“

“Whenever I get a craving for Thai this is my go to spot. The food is authentic delicious and Just plain beautiful. The prices are reasonable the portions are large. The atmosphere can be busy, but comforting and relaxing, like a coffeehouse. The hustle and bustle of people coming in doesn’t distract from the atmosphere. In fact, it adds to it. I have always judged a Thai restaurant by their Tom kha kai. The first time I had it here I knew I was in for some good Thai. I’ve been making Tom kha gai at home for years now I know how it’s done and the subtleties of the ingredients. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“A small restaurant but their Thai food is GOOD!
There is a lil market next door. Love their pad see ew and their mango sticky rice. Every time I come here I try something different, they have like buffet style if you as me exploring new dishes this is an amazing place for it. The only bad thing, they only accept cash.“

“Best Thai food ever! And I lived in Bangkok for 6 months last year. Their pad Thai is a must order. My family have been coming here for years. They remodeled and the place is great. My cousins and I like getting their lunch special which is a really good deal. Their servers are very attentive and fast. I highly recommend trying this place. They are very consistent. The pad Thai is always saucy and flavorful. The pad see ew and the pad kee mao are also delicious. Fried rice too.“
