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

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!

Thai Paradise is the best Thai restaurant in South OC, I should know as I lived in Thailand for 4 years. The food is cooked by Thai people, can't say that for other Thai restaurants in the area. When you come you feel the Thai ways atmosphere, good people, the same atmosphere you would find in Thailand. I only like to come here.
