45 Best Thai Restaurants near Placentia

“Friendly staff! The food is good quality food and nicely packaged. Nice sit down place if you want to dine in.Got the chicken lemon grass vermicelli with chicken $15 with tax, good lunch spotSorry I got hungry and ate the food before I took the picture haha.“

“This place is so cute! It reminds me of a hipster joint you would find in LA or Tokyo. They play funky music and offer happy hour everyday 8pm to close and you get $2 off munchies (their version of appetizers or small plates) and $1 off drinks. The food can be pretty spicy. For example, the drunken noodles were like a 7/10 on spice level. The boat noodle soup was loaded with robust flavor. The fried chicken wings appetizer was moist with a sweet and tangy sauce. They offer a variety of drinks from Thai tea to fresh coconut as well as unique desserts! I've been to Thailand and some of the best Thai restaurants in LA and OC and this place ranks among them for their creativity and uniqueness. The service is good and everything came out in good time. Another plus is that they provided eco-friendly to go packaging AND their water is fresh and clean! Didn't taste like tap water! I'd come back to try their other foods but make sure that the spice is not as intense.“

“Hidden gem for Thai food. Chicken, shrimp, and pork is on point with its flavors. The beef’s texture is a miss, and could be better. Always good to see that it is busy with customers bc the food speaks for itself. The open kitchen shows how clean the restaurant is.“

“The service is very good. They just remodeled the rest, it's very cozy and clean. I went for lunch and they have a special menu at a great price. My advice for the lunch special, include Pad Thai with chicken and maybe increase a little bit the price and include dessert like sticky rice with mango.“

“Every Once in a While the Best Surprise is One You Never Saw Coming! The Bowl & Plate Eatery is Exactly That!!! Driving south on Magnolia Street in Anaheim Sunday, Feb. 25 around 6pm. Just before I reached Ball Road, I remembered there used to be a 'hole-in-the-wall' Italian restaurant tucked into the northeast corner of a little strip mall there. It's been a while so I wasn't sure what I'd find but I made the left turn into the parking lot to explore. No more Italian restaurant (sigh). But in its place I see a quaint looking sign proclaiming the new establishment's name: The Bowl & Plate Eatery. Some quick Internet searching gave sufficient details to convince me to enter...that and my growling stomach! A tasteful and minimalist small dining area offered seating for perhaps 15 guests. Upon my arrival this particular Sunday evening, I was one of three. The owner gestured for me to take a seat, brought over a menu and offered a smile so warm and bright I knew she loved what she was creating here. Seriously, her exuberance was evident in abundance. I'm now even more convinced I made the right choice for this evening's dinner. I won't list the whole menu but I will speak of my selections: - Chicken Vegetable Dumplings - Steak Salad - Choco Roti with Ice Cream Everything is infused with blended Asian flavors. The dumplings were perfectly seared on the bottom, offering a nice crispy-crunch with every bite. Their dipping sauce added just the right amount of 'Zip!' without being overpowering. The steak salad was heaping with fresh leafy greens of several varieties and the steak bites were perfectly cooked and lightly seasoned. The Choco Roti with ice cream was a last minute addition and WOW! am I glad I did. Small wedges of delicately toasted flat bread, drizzled with sweet icings and a touch of cinnamon, served with a healthy scoop of vanilla ice cream, also drizzled with icing. A great combination of sweetness and savory to end a fantastic meal. Mind you, The Bowl & Plate Eatery is not staffed by a team of experts, cranking out cookie-cutter meals-o-plenty. No No! It was staffed by the owner of that amazing smile, who also happens to own the restaurant. She handled it all, from greeting and seating, to explaining, order taking, meal preparing and serving. She's even her own busboy! And all of it in a timely, orderly manner. No rushing nor resting. A model of efficiency and a skilled chef t'boot. No need to ask if I will return. I will have to add this to my monthly restaurant sojourn list. The owner said she's been there for 3 years now and I fault myself for not discovering The Bowl & Plate sooner. And please note, this is not the steam-table Asian food take-out style place. This is well-crafted dishes prepared with passion and heaped with love of craft. Yes, you'll pay a bit more for this but with every bite you'll know it is So, SO Worth It! I'm hopeful The Bowl & Plate is well-visited to keep it in business. This level of original and fresh is rare indeed. I'll keep doing my part! Now it's your turn! Get to The Bowl & Plate for lunch or dinner today!“

“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!“

“Food is delish but the price is on the higher side. Recommended to sign up on the waiting list on Yelp if you are planning to eat during rush hour.So apparently, I heard that the chef of President Thai in Rowland Heights moved to this restaurant.“

“All the dishes are freshly made, appetizers included. We thoroughly enjoyed the egg rolls and tom yum goong soup. The soup is made more traditional, so flavors are rich & complex. For entrees, we ordered pad won sen & panang curry. Again, the flavors were rich and complex. Great restaurant, friendly service, delicious food. Highly recommend.“

“I really enjoyed eating at Real Thai. The employees were welcoming and I felt like I was eating at home. The food was also amazing; I ordered the Spicy Fried Rice with Medium spice and it was very good. Definitely recommend to friends and family.“

“The food here was delicious. Also very affordable. The flavors were very bold and nothing was spicy that we ordered unless we added spices to it. I appreciate it that only because some Thai restaurants have dishes that are standard spicy and that can be hard for little kids to eat. I ordered the yellow curry which tastes yummy but my only critique on that was it was slightly too sweet in my personal opinion. I love that everything here is pretty affordable. So many options for food. There seems to be a little bit of everything for everyone depending on your mood.“

“So yummy! The inside is small- it's like 6 tables or so inside but it's cute inside! Our server was Kyle according to the receipt and he was great. 10/10 service. We tried the wonton soup, pad see ew, and drunken noodles with beef. All 3 had great flavor. The soft drinks are cans (which I was fine with, but just a heads up).“

“Placed a large catering order for a corporate lunch event and the owner was so accommodating to our needs! They opened the kitchen early for us so that I could pick up the food earlier so that it could be ready in time for our corporate event at noon. The food was delicious. Everything was packed nicely. They even provided plenty of forks and napkins. Thank you so much!“

“Still great after all these years! I've been coming to this place for over 17 years, and it remains my favorite Thai restaurant. Fantastic authentic dishes, with a few that you didn't see at other places, available as hot & spicy as you can handle. Super friendly service. Nice atmosphere for lunch or casual dinner. I recommend the won tons and satay for appetizers, papaya salad, prik pow, and of course sticky rice with mango for dessert when it's in season.“

“The ingredients look fresh, but the eggplant stir-fry smelled a bit like fresh food, so I wouldn't recommend it. The pad thai was okay, but the noodles were a bit soggy. The shrimp fried rice served was tasty. The free Thai tea was small, but delicious. Overall, it's good because the price is cheaper than the Anaheim area. The owner seems to be nice and the server is friendly.“

“This place stands up to all the hype. Just some of the best Laotian + Thai food, all the flavors are peak umami. Try the fried fish dishes, the Tom ka gai (just the right amount of sweetness), and the amazingly fresh and perfectly seasoned morning glory if they have it (you might have to go earlier in the day, we only got some on our second visit). The laab is also perfection. Go go!“

“My family and I visited for the first time yesterday and plan to go back! Here’s a summary of our experience:- Delicious food- Friendly and fast service- Clean spaces- Ample parking lotEverything was tasty, but we especially enjoyed the papaya salad and prik king. If you’re considering trying this place, definitely stop by!“

“Really happy my bf and I were feeling adventurous today and craving Thai bbq chicken! After looking on Yelp we decided to give this place a try and it did not disappoint! The bbq chicken was juicy with the perfect amount of char. The fried rice and pad see ew had just the right amount of salty and umami flavor and the Thai iced tea was refreshing and satisfied our sweet tooth! We will definitely be back for more!“

“I can't say enough about this spot! It's a great, affordable authentic Thai restaurant that doesn't lack quality food and amazing customer service. I'm lucky enough to come here at least once a month with my office and it NEVER disappoints! Highly recommend the yellow Thai curry lunch special since you get SOO much food for $10. Servings potions are abundant throughout the menu so if you haven't tried this spot, you're missing out big time!“

“i never leave reviews on yelp but this was hands down the best thai food i've had in socal! my mom lived in thailand for 6 months and our family has visited thailand multiple times, and we all thought that the food tasted so authentic!!! we got the chicken satay, chicken green curry, tofu pad thai, lad nah beef, and basil kra pao we came at 8pm on a friday night and were the only party here! wanted to share a good word bc they deserve the recognition!!“

“This place is very convenient if you are on the highway and need to stop by somewhere to eat. We ordered the egg rolls, soup, fried rice and noodles, all of them are very delicious. The amount of food isn't a lot but the price is very fair. The Hawaiian fries is the best.“

“The best Thai noddles I ever had! I believe this is the house special noddle soup. The waiter also severed me the sour chilis and chill pastes which I added to my soup . The wontons are filled with pork which is a surprise cuz normally Thai restaurants only put fried wonton wrappers. Definitely come back!“

“The mixed vegetable soup was really good. I loved the flavor of the broth! It was so delicious. The vegetables were fresh. Disappointed in the pineapple fried rice. I got it with tofu. It was heavy on the curry flavor and didn't have raisins. Who makes pineapple fried rice without raisins? You need that sweetness and texture in there to balance out the dish. I didn't like it. Too much curry flavor and not enough sweetness in the dish. Overall, it was alright. I'd go back to try out another entree with tofu.“

“What a surprise! I didn’t realize Tuk Tuk was down the street. I discovered them on Google Maps and ordered chicken pad Thai. It is one of the best pad Thai in town, hands down. The price is right, too! I’ll be ordering from here again for sure.“

“I can't believe that I had never heard of this spot before and can thank Reddit for this amazing find! How often can you find something for under $10 nowadays. While it is cash only, there are so many options available that it totally makes up for it. I came in on a Saturday around 2pm so there wasn't a ton of assortment left (out of eggplant) so I picked the chicken larb, green curry and pork ribs. All of the food was solid and I loved that you can eat different Thai dishes versus when you normally order takeout, you kind of committed to one dish. I loved the portion and the flavors of all the dishes. There are so many grand and go options available too. I will definitely be back again to try other dishes!“

“Authentic Thai dishes and flavors. Family owned for many years second generation manages restaurant. Ordered mee krob, red shrimp curry, orange chicken and black pepper pork. Friendly fast service, my order was complete with sambal chili sauce, perfect steamed rice. Simple clean dining room for dining in. I picked up my order for takeout. Highly recommend“

“As soon as I walked in I was greeted and seated right away but it took some time to place the order but I understand they are working hard. I love the friendless and options on the menu. Looked this place up and came to a warm and friendly environment. The food was 5/5 for sure! I ordered more with a Thai tea to go! The food was great and I love the homey atmosphere! Loved Mae! she went above and beyond! Had to get her name and update this review! The Thai tea and glass noodles to go!“

“I've been ordering from them for my office catering lunches. The service that they provide has been extremely accommodating and they deliver to us since we are local. The food is pretty good and the portions are very reasonable. We've been impressed with the food so we added them to our rotation of lunches at work.“

“Food is good and we had a lady server which gave us recommendations and was so kind. would definitely recommend also a 3/5 spice level is pretty spicy and that is coming from someone who normally gets the spiciest things but decided not to because there was children at the table so I would just say be careful on that lol. Super good tho!“

“Hidden gem in Santa Ana. It is located in a building called Maker Kitchens. I ordered their Special Promotion, Pad Thai with egg roll and salad...tasted great and such a good deal for $12.45. The pad thai was flavorful. I also ordered the shrimp Tom yum soup, very delicious as well. Will definitely be coming back!“

“This is a very popular and lively restaurant. I ordered pho and it was delicious. They also served lassi as a complimentary service during the meal, which was a nice touch. The prices are reasonable, making me want to come back multiple times. On the downside, due to the bustling atmosphere, the staff seemed very busy and it took some time to get the bill, which was a bit disappointing.“

“I'm addicted to this place. Not my usual go to type of food, but I tried it once and now I'm carrying out/ doordashing a few nights a week. My jam is the Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice, Medium. Owner/Manager always greets me with a smile. Craving some now after just writing this review!!“

“This local Thai spot has a great combination of spacious parking in a large strip mall, lots of booth and table combinations, and a wide range in their menu that some other spots don't have (pineapple curry with shrimp, anyone?). We ordered fried tofu, chicken satay, tom kha soup, and pineapple curry w/shrimp. The chicken satay was alittle oily, but had good flavor. Was hard to pull off the skewer and a bit awkward to bite off. The fried tofu sauce was interesting sweet and savory. Both the curry and Tom kha soup were flavorful, but a bit too salty for me. I was drinking water all afternoon and evening. Their menu is so extensive, and worth a return visit to see if they ease up on their salt heavy hand because their flavors were pleasant! Lunch crowd was full by 12:30pm!“

“Visiting the area and needed a quick meal we could pick up. I can't think of any reason not to rate the chow mein 5 stars. Full of veggies that were perfectly cooked. Crisp and tender. Noodles were not greasy and were light and delish. I got 2 stars but would get 3 next time. The dumpling appetizers were very good as well. If you're in the area and want take out and like Thai this should check all the boxes for you.“

“Sawadee krup. If you are looking for authentic Thai food, this is the place. Owned and operated by a local Thai family, my wife (Thai), and I have been eating at Jumpa for over 10 years. The staff are nice, the food is well prepared, and their is ample seating if you have a big party. If you have not already done so, give it a try. You will not be disappointed!“

“No wait on a Thursday evening at 6 pm. Great service and menu options. Delicious Tom Yum Shrimp Soup with or without glass noodles. Always reliable service and good fresh Thai food.Vegetarian options: Stir fried veggies with or without without choice of meat or none, with or without noodles. Papaya salad without meat. Noodle dishes without meat.“

“Was craving some dumplings and Thai food last night as it was raining. It was our first time ordering here and we ordered take home. The food was great and the servings are big. We totally enjoyed the flavorful dumplings. I loved how the yellow curry was very tasty. Only thing was I asked for fried rice and paid extra for it but when I opened the container, I got white rice. But we still highly recommend this place as their food is very delicious and filling!“

“My sister and I have developed a routine whenever we come here and that's the morning glory, pad thai, and a cup of rice, which comes out to be ~$36 plus leftovers to spare every time. Special shoutout to the morning glory because it never misses - probably some of the best I've had. Service is always great as well.“

“Food is pretty good. Tricky to find but right next to the parking structure. The worker is very friendly. Great service. The broth that came with this rice bowl was a light seaweed broth and I enjoyed it! The fried hat yai chicken was nice and juicy! Fried rice was decent.“

“Food was fantastic. We had yellow curry with chicken and pad see each with beef...both very good. Added some spice which was perfect. Good spot here in Hillcrest. If you're in the mood for Thai food.. it definitely does not disappoint.“

“I used to attend church in Whittier and my friend recommended a very good Thai restaurant to me. Yesterday, four of us finally visited and it was a truly enjoyable experience.All of the staff were extremely friendly, always smiling, and eager to assist us.The papaya salad was fresh and crunchy, and the fish (I forgot the name) dish was delicious! it quickly became my favorite, as one of the waitresses had recommended it.The green curry was slightly spicy, and suitable for all palates a dish that everyone can enjoy. I absolutely loved it!For dessert, I had ice cream which was amazing. Despite feeling very full, I left the restaurant happy :)The parking area is very spacious and the interior is incredibly nice, cozy, and clean. I will definitely be coming back!“

“This is the best Thai food both my family has ever had and we love Thai food! We can't get enough of the pad see ew, crab fried rice and papaya salad we literally dream of it.The service is always phenomenal, quick and we have zero complaints. We're so happy to see this place always busy and even with the waitlist we are sat and eating within 10 minutes.“

“First time here and food was amazing! Appetizers of Chicken Satay and Crispy Thai Dumplings. Dinner was Drunken Noodles, Thai Chili Basil, Chicken Pad Thai and Chicken Chow Mein! We will definitely be going back!!! Picture quality is marginal as the flash didn’t go work and we were outside with the heater as our lighting.“

“I've been coming here for 30+ years. I used to come so often that they would know me just from my order since I always ordered the same thing. For a brief period I didn't come here because they had changed up their menu and didn't offer Satay Chicken lunch specials anymore. But looks like they recently changed owners and I'm happy to say that the Satay Chicken Lunch and Dinner specials are back. Even better, the satay chicken is even more delicious and juicier than before. Service is great and the new owners are very friendly and welcoming.“

“Nice little place. Great food generous portions and friendly staff. Was invited by family and was not disappointed. Would definitely be on my list of places to go in the area when there. Yummy.Dietary restrictions: Easily accomidated dairy and mostly vegetarian group members without disappointing the meat eaters :)“

“This place is awesome if you have a hankering for Thai food in the Pasadena area. The place is small with outside seating but the food is incredibly delicious and most of all the prices are very reasonable....The service was quick, the servers were friendly and provide you with menu recommendations. I recommend the green sole fish curry and the pork with sticky rice and the vegetable egg rolls! Thank you Nine & Nine!“
