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 👍“

“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.“

“Really great food but make sure to get there before 8pm or they will only allow take out. I ended up leaving because I was really craving the delicious chicken wontons but they were only doing takeout after 8pm and they wouldn’t be as crispy and delicious if I took them To go.“

“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.“

“I absolutely love this place. As someone who is gluten free its really hard to find places to take my allergy seriously. The owner was so open to listening to my requests and double checked personally that all the Ingredients were safe for me to eat. Both her and her daughter are so kind and remembered me after only seeing me once. Absolutely will be back again and again.“

“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!!“

“Absolutely loved this Thai station! The food was authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. Every dish was perfectly seasoned and reminded me of home. 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!“

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

“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.“

“Excellent Food! Nice staff.“

“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!“

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

“Thai Belly is a fantastic hidden gem! The moment I entered, I was enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu is filled with authentic Thai dishes bursting with flavor; I particularly loved the Pad Thai and the Green Curry—both were delightful. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure our dining experience was top-notch. If you're craving delicious Thai cuisine, Thai Belly should be at the top of your list!“

“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“

“This is my new favorite Thai restaurant, been a few times now to try different dishes each time. There a couple of exceptions, like the chicken wings, that weren't to my taste but virtually everything was delicious. Highly recommended!“

“We got the Manon Signature Tower (great sampler plate) and the Thai Tea Flight (great sampler plate) to start.

For our matin entrees, we got the Crispy Pork Belly Kaprao, Filet Mignon Cashew Nuts, and the Crispy Pork Chili & Sea Salt. This was also the order we enjoyed in. I recommend that if you get the Crispy Pork Chili & Sea Salt, ask for less salt. I like my food salty and savory, but the sea salt seemed to be too heavy this time around.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our first night here in Anaheim and decided we would order takeout.
Foubf AM Thai Fusion on google and it was justvaround the cirner from where we were staying. We.ordered a starter a main dush and fries ruce dish. The portion sizes were very large and the food tasted amazing and great value for your money.“

“Great Thai food nice Service 👍❤️“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 .“

“Food is excellent! Customer service is outstanding!“

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

“As someone who is particular about Thai food, Thai Seven in Downtown Brea genuinely impressed me. This is one of those hidden gems where you can immediately tell there is real attention being paid to the kitchen.

The first thing that stood out was the aroma—the unmistakable fragrance of a properly fired wok, with that smoky depth that gives Thai cooking so much character. The Spaghetti Kee Mao was exceptional: aromatic, savory, beautifully seasoned, and full of wok-fired flavor without being overwhelmed by sauce. The popcorn chicken arrived golden and remarkably crisp, yet remained tender and juicy inside.

The biggest surprise was the Crying Tiger beef. It was beautifully grilled, tender, flavorful, and easily comparable to something I would expect from a quality steakhouse. The execution was excellent.

Beyond the food, the service was attentive and welcoming. Owner Nova personally made us feel at home, adding the kind of genuine hospitality that separates a good restaurant from a memorable one.

Thai Seven isn’t trying to reinvent Thai cuisine—it simply executes it extremely well. Authentic flavors, proper wok cooking, quality ingredients, and genuine hospitality. For anyone searching for excellent Thai food in the Brea area, this hidden gem in the heart of Downtown Brea deserves your attention.

One important thing to know: Thai Seven is under new ownership. For anyone reading older negative reviews, I would encourage you to give this restaurant another look. Things have changed. The quality of the food, service, and overall experience we received reflects a restaurant moving in a very positive direction.“

“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.“

“FIVE STARS! From the delicious and hearty plus healthy delightfulness of the curries to the cozy atmosphere of this place I give it a five star rating! Our service was nice and very fast to deliver our food. The curries were perfectly spiced and seasoned they didn’t even need salt! I got the yellow curry with a level 2 spice (which was personally a little too spicy for me but eh that’s fine) it was delicious! It had a sweet undertone with an excellent curry flavor, my JAW DROPPED after I tasted it. It felt fresh and homemade and stayed good long after it cooled down. It was definitely made with love. You could tell that the cooks were from Thailand. This definitely met my expectations and exceeded them. The potatoes and carrots were hard, but they started softening in the broth. This was also my first time going to a Thai restaurant but my Mom who has gone to many, also said it was very good. She was impressed and so was I. If you want a good Thai place with excellent service, amazing food, and a cozy atmosphere with cutesy music. Go here.“

“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 dined in here today and we were very excited to try the vegetarian menu here. Unfortunately, their curry and pad thai have oyster sauce and fish sauce already in it and that was not an option. That left us with very limited options with eggplant &tofu and pad kee Mao which they were able to make without the oyster sauce and fish sauce. Loved the ambience and service but unfortunately no curry for vegetarians here. P.S mild was spicy for us. 😋“

“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 😍“

“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!“

“Good place for family dinner“

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

“1stntime trying Lemon Thai, got the red curry with chicken and Pad See Ewe with chicken. Both were excellent, the portions were good but I expected more food and the medium spicy was pretty hot and tasty. If you're not a fan of spicy, get the light spice and if you order hot, you'll love it. I'll definitely be back.“

“1. The curry noodles dish was really good! I like the sausage option!
2. The spot has fun casual vibes as it is part of a food court!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order!
Note: They will give you a buzzer to let you know when the order is ready for pickup!

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

“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.“
