25 Best Thai Restaurants near Riverside

“Love me some Thai food, especially the yellow curry. If you enjoy flavor with spice, I'd recommend level 4 (Hot). I've been here a handful of times, always order the same chicken yellow curry and medium isn't as spicy as you'd think. Prices are decent and quality of food matches prices. Items do come with a small pint of rice so if you need more, you do need to pay an additional cost.

I haven't dined in the restaurant but ambiance is casual and a normal restaurant setting, not loud. Service is great, haven't experienced any issues. I'm a reoccurring customer so I'd recommend TK Thai Cuisine.“

“This our favorite Thai place in Riverside. One of our family have celiac disease and need to avoid gluten. The staff here are always helpful with finding ways to make the dishes gluten free, or letting us know if it can't be made gluten free. The food is tasty and the wait time is not too long.“

“great food , drinks and service“

“I ordered Drunken Noodles and they gave me something very similar. Drunken Noodles per se aren't on the menu. I will say that what they gave me was pretty good I had a nice amount of Thai Basil strong black pepper and for me it was perfectly spiced but for others it might be a little bit spicy. The only thing that wasn't perfect were the noodles but now they are in a better place. The portion was nice size too. The appetizer prices are pretty high. More than $10 for five half pieces of chicken wings.“

“Best Thai food in Riverside! My husband and I are vegan, and I am sensitive to garlic, and they always happily make our dishes to our specifications. The food is always flavorful and has a cleaner, fresher taste than any other Thai food we've had in this area (and we've tried several other Thai places in Riverside over the years). We normally get take-out, and Nina is wonderfully friendly and sweet when taking our order and at pick-up (and on the rare occasion when we actually eat there, she always provides service with a smile, even when the restaurant is super busy!). It's a very small space and rather easily overlooked when driving past it, but do yourself a favor - if you haven't tried this little gem of a place, do so!“

“They close at 9pm when we were there. We were given a table at 8:15. We ordered drinks and appetizers,then main meals. Service was good and food was good, but were rushed,everything pretty much came at the same time and we hadn’t finished our meals yet and they gave us our check at 8:55 and turned the lights up. Food was good and reasonable but we felt really rushed.“

“This place is amazing, I’ve never tried Thai food restaurant and my first experience was great. I ordered the shrimp chow mein and everything was cooked to order very fresh!!!! Vegetables were cooked well along with the noodles and shrimp. I highly recommend.“

“VERY GOOD SUSHI I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.“

“Do not hesitate to give this place a try, you won’t regret it.

My Mum and I called in a phone order and the lady that took our order was super sweet and helpful when it came to giving us directions. It was our first time here, so my mum and i got our usual Thai food orders; tofu fried rice for my mum and tofu pad see ew for myself. My pad see ew was super tasty and had a lot of flavor. My mum usually gets her fried rice in the spiciest level from other places and is always disappointed in the spice level they give her. however, she got her fried rice in the level 4 at Garden Thai and my mum has finally been out-spiced (lol). Service is amazing. The woman in the front is really hospitable and genuine. Can’t wait to come here again and try other things“

“I had the hot beef salad and it was absolutely delicious.“

“This place is amazing. The food is so tasty and fresh and the service is amazing. We had been going to a different place for 10 years but now this is our new spot. The server A is very nice and attentive. Always on top of what you need. Great customer service. A must try.“

“The food is very delicious. Big portions and not too pricey. Great customer service.“

“I had intended to eat at the Indian place nearby, but it was closed for lunch. I saw some folks congregating around the restaurant, peeked in, and looked pretty busy for 11:30 am, saw some good lunch specials and I jumped in. So glad I did! The Panang curry (chicken) was absolutely delicious. Medium was pretty mild, I'd go to Hot on the next one, but the flavor was amazing, portion was perfect for me, soup was tasty, and the egg roll and fied cheese and crab dumpling were small but spot on. Only Panang I've had that was better was at Lotus of Siam in Vegas, and that place is Michelin-rated and the Chef used to cook for the King of Thailand!“

“Been coming for 20+ years. Always a great place to eat. Food always on point. Come support the local spot you won't be disappointed.“

“I had the orange chicken and it was the best I’d ever had“

“Beef fried rice, Crying Tiger, and pepper steak are standout dishes that reflect both flavor and craftsmanship. Beef fried rice is a comforting, savory dish packed with tender slices of beef, perfectly cooked jasmine rice, egg, scallions, and a balanced blend of soy and sesame flavors. It’s hearty, satisfying, and ideal for sharing or enjoying solo.

Crying Tiger, a Thai grilled beef dish, adds a spicy and smoky dimension to the meal. Served with a bold chili-lime dipping sauce, it pairs succulent slices of marinated beef with fresh herbs and vegetables. The heat and tang from the sauce give the dish its signature kick and memorable flavor profile.

Pepper steak offers another take on beef, featuring slices stir-fried with bell peppers, onions, and a rich, savory sauce. The meat is tender, and the vegetables are crisp yet cooked just right — a great contrast in texture.

All these dishes are elevated by excellent service. A good server makes the dining experience smooth, attentive, and welcoming, without being overbearing. It shows when staff take pride in their work. A clean bathroom is another sign of a well-run restaurant — it reflects attention to detail and hygiene, which ultimately enhances the overall experience.The only small problem is the sticky rice is a little bit too sweet while the mango is a little bit sour.Will definitely come back again.“

“This is a nice clean restaurant, service is great and the food is served pretty quickly, the only complaint would be the steak does not seem to be of good quality because the meat of two plates we ordered were too tough and hard to chew, the soup was a little salty as well, the salad was delicious, we ended up replacing one of our orders for Shrimp Pad Thai and that was done perfectly. They are close to being able to get my 5 stars but I would have to come back and regrade them.“
