12 Best Thai Restaurants near San Clemente

“I had a random craving for curry and had recalled seeing Thai Dara 2 when I was in the area a while back. I gave it a shot and I was so pleased. I ordered the panang curry with unspecified spicyness and it was perfection. Great temperature, calming music and gracious hospitality from the host. I think I’ll be craving curry more often :) or I’ll try one of the noodle dishes next time! Thank you for the lovely meal! I felt nourished and cared for.“

“I’m not sure that San Clemente understands what a gem this place is. The food is really good Thai food, which is hard to find. The service was great. Those people that had a bad experience, they should try again. We I went it was too very kind guys doing their best to make great food. I can’t wait to go to sleep so I can wake up and eat the leftovers. We had the wonton soup and the pad see ew. They were even happy to steam chicken for our doggo.“

“New in town and visited based on reviews. Food is amazing! I thought I had good Thai food in my old neighborhood, but this is better. The Pad Kee Mow was perfection, service friendly, warm and prompt. Setting isn’t fancy, more like eating in someone’s home. But it adds to the charm of the place. I’ll be a regular for sure!“

“Had the pleasure of speaking with Minah after receiving an order from Uber eats as a courier to deliver for a local resident in the area. Gotta say, she and her staff have such a beautiful and welcoming spirit of peace and kindness that I hope to have lunch with them tomorrow. God willing ❤️ - Come visit this restaurant, you will love their food. It's smells amazing!! ?????“

“The service at Thai This is beyond compare, every employee there is friendly, helpful, and helps to create a great experience whether eating in to-go. We walked in to order to-go food and they seated us and brought us bottled water, again, service beyond compare. Now to the food, the Crispy Noodles (#1) are to die for...makes a great dessert. The Nutty Noodles chicken (#54) were great, and the Kiss Me Not garlic pork was so flavorful. They also included some tempura vegetables which were super yummy. So if you're looking for yummy food, at a great price, and with incredible service, Thai This should be your next dinner night out.“

“I was craving Thai food and found this spot. I ordered the Crying Tiger Lunch special, the Thai BBQ Chicken lunch special, Thai Dim Sum (potstickers), and WOW! Lunch was SO good!! The lunch specials came with salad, soup and steamed rice. The crying tiger is a prime beef dish that was just delicious. I’ve been dieting and training for lose weight and this meal was lean and light. It was also incredibly delicious. The Thai Dim Sum was the star of the lunch. They fried them so they were fluffy, light and crispy. I could eat those everyday. But I won’t because of my diet. The meal left me full and satisfied. The portions were perfect. My husband and I loved everything we ate. I will definitely be ordering from here again!“

“Thai bite has amazing food like out of this world crying tiger meal and then the shrimp spring rolls are amazing. Also the curry was delicious too. & ohhhh The mango sticky rice is better than sex lol. Definitely will need to try it but sometimes they run out of it so try to get some while u can.“

“Excellent food at reasonable prices. Service was fast and friendly. Small restarant.

Parking: Parking behind the restaraunt in "the row". Take the side street up the hill from the restaraunt and then turn left into "the row". drive to far end of parking area for the shortest walk. Take the stairs at the end of the parking area down to street level, take the sidewalk to the left, and the restaraunt is close on the left.“

“I enjoyed the smoked spare ribs and the spicy stir fried prawns with veg Dessert was great too“

“One of my favorite neighborhood restaurants that has been around a very long time.

The ambiance is like Thailand town at night - dark with warm lighting. Oldies but goody with full bar that’s pretty much like Chiang Mai’s bars.

The food never disappoints. I brought people here and the food was crowd pleaser. The service is super efficient.

The location is just perfect for a meeting point from South OC and North OC. It is right off the highways I5/405 and there are many places to visit around the area - antique shopping, the missions, cinema, music festival by the beach, Dana Point harbor …“
