12 Best Thai Restaurants near San Clemente

“Thai Dara 2 is great! I went in today to order takeout for our medical office staff. I noticed a mistake when I picked up my food (likely poor communication on my part), and they fixed it very quickly and kindly. Above 5 stars on service! The food is fresh and delicious. The lunch specials are priced very well and are big portions. There are options for everyone's dietary restrictions, too, which is so great to find.

The interior of the restaurant is cozy and would be a great place for an intimate lunch or dinner.

I'm writing this as I gobble down my delicious pad Thai with shrimp, and I'm also very impressed at how well the food was packaged, it's still piping hot.“

“Great food and a great staff. This place has been in San Clemente for a very long time, and this restaurant has been a go-to for my friends and I for years.

I ordered x2 Orders of Panang Curry with Beef as meat and I requested to make the curry more spicy for the order just to see what it would be like. Verdict: It was excellent! The food was delicious and very nicely done. The staff was accommodating and welcoming when I showed up. For clarification, it was a pick up order at around 7:30 tonight (11/5/2025 Wednesday).

The place has a cozy atmosphere if you decide to dine at the restaurant. It is a little tight quarters but ultimately isn't a huge deal. Check out Thai Palace on Pico!“

“The food was delicious! I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai lunch special, with extra peanuts, and they truly delivered in favor, texture and a boat load of peanuts! The salad dressing was also light and creamy and tasty. My server, Liberty, was helpful, friendly, and prompt. 10/10“

“Husband and I was driving cross country and we slept close to this restaurant about 11 mins of walk and the food is pretty good. We ordered it for takeout. They didn’t give us any utensils and napkins at all which they should for take out but it’s ok. Good thing we pack our own utensils. All the food that we ordered was good and spicy.“

“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.“

“My family orders from Diho Siam probably about once per week. Would absolutely be 5 stars as I love their food and the employees are super friendly, but it’s really disappointing how dramatically they’ve raised their prices (literally from last week to this week). Orange chicken went from $13 to $18 overnight, cream cheese wontons went from $9.50 to $12.50 etc. To raise prices so significantly really sucks for your customers.“

“Ahairn arroy mak ka!! Kob koon ka!!“

“I don't know how they do it, but everything is good here! I love the Satay and Tom Yum. The space is welcoming and personal, the service is professional, and the prices are perfectly reasonable. This is my new favorite restaurant - I look forward to becoming a regular!“

“The service is great and food is excellent. Becky was a wonderful host and took care of our party of 33 people with ease! So glad we dined with Thai Bite to celebrate with our family. All the food was made fresh and tasted great! Everyone was served well and looked after by the Thai Bite team.“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Absolutely phenomenal Thai food! This place exceeded all my expectations from the warm, welcoming service to the explosion of flavors in every dish. We ordered the Pad Thai and platter sample - everything was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented.

You can tell they use fresh ingredients and put real heart into their cooking. The staff was so kind and attentive, even offering recommendations based on our spice preferences. Cozy atmosphere, fair prices, and generous portions - what more could you ask for?

Definitely my new go-to Thai spot. Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic, delicious Thai cuisine! 🙌🍜🇹🇭 next time I am going to try Tom Yam soup“
