“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.“

“Thai food is a hit or miss ,and some better than others. So far Lucky Thai has been better than most, with a few drawbacks when then run out of product. All food is made fresh from my trips here. This establishment is inside the 168 Market and is very simple, small seating to eat there or you can have take out. Service takes a little time for prep in most cases, but worth the wait.“

“great food. friendly service“

“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.“

“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 👍“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 !“

“Took my team here for a lunch and we only had an hour. I had called ahead and Kim had our table reserved, got the food moving early, and we were in and out without any stress. The food was amazing, everyone on the team couldn't stop talking about it.

She also arranged a little birthday dessert for one of our team members which was a really lovely surprise.

Great spot for a group lunch or solo lunch. I’ll definitely be back!“

“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!“

“🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“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.“

“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!“

“I have been craving to try boat noodle soup ($15.95) since I've seen it online. It is a blood-based soup so it's a dark brown but the taste is not noticeable. It comes with thin noodles, sliced beef, pork meatballs, green onions, pork rinds, Thai basil, and cilantro. They do have a Thai level of spicy and they do warn that they do not to re-makes of dishes.

I also got their pork jerky which came with a side of spicy fish sauce dip.

The staff is nice and the place is clean.“

“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!

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love everything my favorite place to dine with my family . I recommend the yellow curry and pad Thai.“

“I placed a to go order and everything was perfect. I had the lunch special and a small soup. The order was packaged well for travel, and everything was correct. They provided sauces and utensils which was appreciated. A salad was included with the lunch special. It was fresh with a great dressing. The Spicy Basil Leaves lunch was so yummy. I have to say the soup was the star of the show. If you visit this restaurant do not leave without trying the Tom Kha Soup.“

“It’s great 🥰 I love itttttttttttttt“

“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! :)“

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

“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 ?“

“I want to mention firstly, this place has the nicest people as staff members. The lady knew I was Japanese and spoke Japanese to me. She made sure my to go drinks were not melted so made it the moment I arrived.
It's such a breath of fresh air to feel so naturally welcomed, with the Thai hospitality.
I ordered Panang Curry with soft tofu, Pad see Ew, and Tom Kah soup
Everything is exactly how you'd want when you're craving Thai food. Very savory and spicy if you want to sweat!
Spice level available from 1-10. My partnet has a psychotic tolerance so level8 didn't phase him 😅but it's still a delicious place to stop by.

It's an intimate setting so I'd recommend no more than a group of 4.“

“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.“

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

“I like their food, free refill of thai ice tea and free fried ice cream ball.“

“So glad this restaurant has survived. The food is delicious and the staff is courteous and thoughtful. We went there last night for a Sunday dinner and it was nice to be able to go somewhere in our neighborhood.“

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

“The food is very savory.
Lunch portions are large, I could have easily shared my chicken satay, instead I have lunch for tomorrow!😍 My husband had the Tom Yum chicken and noodles soup, we could have shared as well, he has lunch for tomorrow too!😍
Waitress was very busy, but still very attentive ❤
Atmosphere very cute, kind of homey.“

“I’ve known about Bangkok Pai for quite a while. It’s located inside the T&K Plaza, a long established shopping center in the Bolsa area. I usually come here to order takeout for a quick lunch or on days when I feel too lazy to cook.

Besides the classic Thai dishes like Pad See Ew and Pad Thai, their desserts really stand out to me. The prices are reasonable, and the quality is consistently good. My favorite dessert is the cassava topped with fresh shredded coconut. It’s slightly chewy, fragrant, and lightly sweet such a comforting and satisfying treat.

Parking in this plaza can be a bit challenging since it’s a busy commercial area with many businesses. However, the affordable prices and friendly service make it worth it.

I’ll definitely continue coming back to support long-standing local spots like this in the Bolsa neighborhood.“

“great food, fast service“

“Food was well flavored and large enough portions to still have some to take home. Service was a bit slow, especially when we were done and waiting for our check. Had to go to register to ask for to go containers and our check. Food was also a little slow coming out but nothing unbearable. Will eat here again when in the area.“
