“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.“

“A little gem in Good Food Hall, a small indoor/outdoor food court at the end of Anaheim Center Street Promenade.
The (Tofu) Pad Thai had the right amount of flavor. The (chicken) Green Curry had a hint of spiciness, right amount of curry-sweetness and fresh looking red & green bell peppers.
We'll definitely go again when around Downtown Anaheim.“

“Wow, great food and atmosphere. The pad see eww had one of the best char on the noodles I've ever had and I lived in SF. Great people behind the counter and very friendly. My son's first time having thai food and he loved the drunken noodles(nospice). Would recommend to anyone.“

“This place was poppin when we came. Cute Halloween decorations. Food was great! Recommend their savory roti with curry and their sweet roti. Pad thai was tasty. Branzino was really good. The sauce was too salty for me but it had good flavor. Thai iced tea was excellent. Will be back!“

“The food is very delicious, the restaurant is very beautiful, there is a lot of parking. Importantly all of the chefs are beautiful“

“great food. friendly service“

“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.“

“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!“

“Our first time dining here. Puket Thai tea is so good, I went by the server's rec for less sweet.
Drunken noodles was spicier than we expected for medium level but still very good.
Everything we ordered came out quickly and tastes great!“

“★★★★★ Lucky’s Thai Pantry — Absolutely Delicious!

Lucky’s Thai Pantry is hands-down one of the best Thai spots around! Every dish is packed with authentic flavor, fresh ingredients, and that perfect balance of spice and sweetness. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they really care about their food and their customers.

The portions are generous, the presentation is beautiful, and everything tastes homemade with love. Whether it’s the pad Thai, curries, or appetizers — you honestly can’t go wrong.

Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves great Thai food and genuine hospitality. It’s a true hidden gem!“

“Bangkok Taste has been a family favorite for years, and it just keeps getting better! The recent updates to the restaurant give it such a warm, homey vibe it feels like you’re stepping into a cozy family kitchen where you know the food is going to hit the spot every single time.

The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see you. They remember faces, make great recommendations, and treat you like family. A rare thing these days!

And the food? Consistently incredible. We never leave disappointed. Our go-to dishes are the Pad See Ew, Tom Yum Soup, Yellow Curry, and Basil Beef. Each one packed with flavor, freshness, and that perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory that keeps us coming back. Every bite tastes like it was made with care and love.

Whether you’re dining in or taking out, Bangkok Taste delivers on all fronts authentic, flavorful Thai food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in the mood for comfort food with serious flavor, this is the place.

Five stars all the way. Bangkok Taste is a true gem in Santa Ana!“

“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 !“

“My service organization regularly came to Silver Spoons' predecessor, so when we found out that Silver Spoons was open, we made the restaurant our next meeting location so we can try it out!

I usually order my go-to to test out a Thai restaurant, so I ordered the pork pad see ew ($14.95) and mild golden curry with chicken ($14.95). I would've ordered a fried rice, but the mild papaya salad ($13.95) caught my attention instead. Note that the dishes come with your choice of chicken, pork, or tofu included in the price, but if you want beef, it'll be an extra dollar, and for shrimp, an extra $2. What was surprising was that the curry doesn't come with white rice. You'd have to fork out an extra $2.50 for that. I thought everything tasted great, though both the papaya salad and pad see ew was a little heavy on the sauce.

My friend ordered mango sticky rice ($12.99) for dessert and I was surprised and happy they had that available (I went to another Thai restaurant during Christmas time and while they had the mango sticky rice on the menu, they said it was not in season so they weren't selling any). I took a few bites of it and enjoyed it -- not too sweet and not too heavy! Don't forget to check-in on Yelp for a free Thai tea.

Service was pretty good! There's plenty of space inside for small and large groups. Plentiful parking too in the parking lot.“

“My first visit to Nava Thai Cuisine was a delightful experience, guided by the staff's super friendly recommendations. Walking in, I felt welcomed, and the service was quick—my food was ready in just about 10 minutes, which is fantastic for a dine-in or takeout order.
The staff suggested a few favorites, and I settled on the Chicken and Vegetables with a medium spice level, and an order of the Fried Tofu.
The Fried Tofu was definitely a highlight. The portion was generous, and the texture was incredible—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and tasted almost like a savory donut! It was accompanied by two flavorful dipping sauces: a rich garlic dipping sauce and a vibrant spicy sauce, which elevated the dish perfectly.
The Chicken and Vegetables was tasty and the medium spice had a nice kick without being overwhelming. My only minor wish is that the portion size was slightly larger, as I found it to be a little on the small side. However, the freshness of the ingredients and the warm, friendly service more than made up for this small detail.
Overall, Nava Thai Cuisine offers a good experience with fantastic staff and standout dishes like their fried tofu. I would recommend this place, especially if you're looking for fast, friendly service and a great appetizer“

“Royal Thai Orchid 9.5/10
Ordered Tom Yum, Thai spicy, with shrimp:
- Really nice level of heat (I ordered it very spicy), and there were no Thai chili pepper pods I had to fish out, so that's good, and they provided extra ground Thai chilis on the side. 👍👍
- fresh mushrooms, not canned, good amount 👍👍
- heat, sourness, amazingly delicious tasting broth, hint of sweetness to contrast the bold hot and sour flavors. All the wonderful tastes melded together, lime, cilantro, galangal, lemon grass, so completely developed and full flavored 👍👍 👍
- giant shrimp, tails on, so tender and delicious and lots of them. 👍👍👍
Bottom line, I've been hunting for the best Tom Yum in SoCal, and I have found it at Royal Thai Orchid. I was settling before, now, never more. Makes me REALLY want to taste their other menu items. Just ordered Tom Yum for the 4th time in the past week (yes, I am obsessed and yes, it's that good), but this time I ordered some stuffed chicken wings as well. Will be amazing I'm sure. 😁“

“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 👍❤️“

“After watching a movie with BTS J-hope nearby, our group grabbed a quick lunch at nearby Thai 7 Bistro at 1:30 pm. It was pouring outside, so we appreciated the indoor dining space and that our group of five was able to fit (thanks to the other customers who swapped tables so Thai 7 Bistro could put two tables together for us).

Since it was raining, a warm soupy dish sounded good. The kao soi ($21.95) caught most of our eyes so three of us each ordered that. I got mines with beef brisket. Crispy chicken wings were an option, but I didn't want to deal with the bones and with the wings potentially getting soggy in the soup. I usually get pad see ew or a curry or crab fried rice, so I never had kao soi before. And now that I had it, it will be part of my standard Thai food order now! I love that there were noodles in this dish plus topped with crispy noodles. The soup was almost as thick as curry. Beef brisket wasn't too fatty either. It all just went well together! I also ordered a Thai iced tea ($4.50) and that was delicious, a good balance of sweet with my very savory meal.

It did take a while for us to get the check since the restaurant got busy, but we appreciated being able to pay separately for our own order rather than try to split the bill five ways with different orders.

We had all parked at the parking structure by the theater, so it was a quick walk back. There are some street parking spots up front, but we preferred the covered parking structure given the rain.“

“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!

“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 👌🏾“

“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)“

“We love Thai food, and these flavors were top notch! Especially the peanut sauce with the chicken satay, and the spicy lime sauce with the crying tiger (beef) and moo yang (pork) specials. The mango sticky rice was good. Mango pudding more like jello.
They had some interesting papaya salad variations, too. Next time!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“So happy this new Thai place came to Yorba Linda!! Delicious, fresh, and authentic food. I’m a big fan of how they make the chicken Pad See Ew. The Thai curry soft-shelled crab was spicy, crispy, and scrumptious. Ordering fluffy white rice on the side is a must. The servers are hardworking and kind. It’s a comfortable and cozy restaurant with a bright atmosphere. I’ll definitely be returning here!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food was delicious and the service was awesome, our waitress was very friendly and the food was done fast. I would totally recommend this restaurant to my family and friends.“

“Good place for family dinner“

“Amazing food, welcoming and friendly owners and cozy atmosphere with nice parking. Had the green curry and satay chicken. So good! Ordered the noodles with my curry. Has such a lovely conversation with the owner. Just moved into the area and adore this place already. Will come back for sure!“

“Found it by total coincidence! They served steamed spicy fish, which is my favorite Thai plate. They delivered. Don’t let the aesthetics and location fool you. This place is family-run and family oriented. I will back with friends. Halal meat is an extra touch too. Takeout available till 7:30PM.“

“It’s great 🥰 I love itttttttttttttt“

“This spot is absolutely amazing! I'm so glad I tried the Mazemen it was DELICIOUS. The noodles were so perfectly bouncy and had amazing texture and the flavor was so rich. The owner and server was so sweet and so kind. It was a pleasure eating here, so glad me and my friends stopped by.“

“I got the BBQ chicken and (steamed) rice with the ginger scallion sauce and it was so good! The chef and employee were also very nice and were available for any questions we had.
I also got a Thai iced coffee with milk and it is wow! It’s very strong, so fair warning, but also very good! It’s not super sweet or bitter - it’s the perfect in-between.
For the food and coffee (with tip) the total came out to about $24 as of January 2026. I will gladly pay that again! :)“

“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 ?“

“🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“great food, fast service“

“The food was great, which was unexpected. The service was great too. One of the best Pad Thai we've had. The shrimp tempura, calamari, passion orange drink, taro with boba drink, and mango sticky rice were all good. We'll definitely return here when we go to Disneyland, California Adventure, or Anaheim.“

“Nicest people! This is our favorite place for many years already!! Best Authentic Thai food!!“

“This is one of the most popular Thai restaurants in Chino Hills as is indicated by the crowds waiting to get seated. Food is authentic and flavorful. We love the yellow curry, roti, pad tai, pad se ew, Thai coffee, drunken noodles and Thai BBQ chicken.“

“Great little hidden gem of a resturaunt. food is always delicious with plenty of options to suit just about anyone's tastes. owners are very nice and do a wonderful job managing and maintaining the quality of food. atmosphere is more of a modern Cafe feel than traditional of the culture and the fox theme is absolutely adorable. I highly recommend if you are in the area and looking for a nice little place with traditional flavors and modern twists. We will be returning again soon to done among the foxes!“

“My coworker recommended this place after I requested Thai food lunch. The restaurant was exceptionally clean, the waitress greeted us with a smile and was very friendly. The food was delicious and had such great flavor that I wanted to order an extra meal for dinner tonight. Everything was good and the avocado rolls is now a favorite of mine. I will be having lunch there again next week.“

“Food always great service is ok too! This is like our extended kitchen.“

“Delicious, freshly prepared cuisine.“

“This restaurant is obviously one of the best place to eat in the neighborhood. Anytime I come there I am deeply pleased. They hold their very high level service and the topmost level of meals they serve. You surely will enjoy this this restaurant. Highly recommended.“

“Honestly 4 stars just because they’re hard working people trying to make a living. However I’m disappointed in the food quality and portion size I been coming here for years and the consistency isn’t there. I ordered 3 pineapple fried rice with beef and honestly the rice has no sauce very bland and the beef you have to dig to find a piece. In the whole plate it was 19.99 and there was 4 pieces of beef like come on. I’m paying 20 for just rice no sides no vegetables and barely any protein. My bill was 70$ and ended up cooking steak at home to add on top of the rice. And that’s not considering the quality of the beef they use it’s very chewy and low grade.“

“Great food, servings are generous & great service“
