this review is long over due. it's been years since i've last visited. it's too sad that i moved out of the state but this place is a gem. their food is delicious and i would recommend them to anyone. they have a good and friendly service. beef salad was my all time favorite. that dish is *chef kiss*. i'm positive their service and food is still the same. it looked family owned and run. i hope to visit soon!

Came here expecting some good Thai food but this is honestly insulting. Bought some spring rolls for $10 mind you and it only has half a shrimp inside. Stuffed full with lettuce. The fried rice was okay other than the big piece of tomato in the middle. Would not recommend.

Ordered pad see ew from DoorDash and the food was excellent. The noodles were chewy & I got pork & shrimp. Would definitely go back & would like to actually eat there to see the service.

Gave me the wrong dressing on a delivery order as they were out of the advertised one. But they did make it right. Good service.

Best Thai in Santa Ana we eat there 2-3 times a month. Always made the way we ordered it and best flavor.

It is in a court food area, expect lots of noise around you. If your ok with it then this would be a great place to come with friends. The staff was friendly and got my order right on the first try. Overall satisfied with my first experience here.

It was an interesting place. This is not the best Thai, but it will satisfy the hunger. The shrimp was a little overcooked. The pineapple rice had a lot of elements but not a whole lot of flavor and that surprised me. I needed to add a lot of their spicy sauce to give it some 'oomph'! They asked us if we were having 'here or to-go'. We said we were having it 'here' and they served it in to-go boxes with plasticware anyway. Look, if you're looking for mild flavors, this place will do the job. If you're looking to be knocked off your feet, this isn't it.

Really special spot! Great flavors. You wouldn't expect it, but they're chicken nuggets are fire and a must order!!

Since I moved to Santa Ana over a year ago, I've been on the hunt for some legit Thai food and I have been disappointed in every place I've tried thus far. This location isn't particularly close to me, nor is it in the nicest of areas but I was willing to make the trek in the interest of finding the perfect Thai place to order from. The reviews hyped it up and I was excited at the prospect. I was, however, sorely disappointed. Note first that this business is in a swap meet food court and therefore they close pretty early. Like by 6:30-7pm. We placed an order at around 515pm for a significant order. Here's what we got and the breakdown of each item experience:1. Crab Rangoon (4/5): This was a major drawing point in why I chose this place. Many other places are just doing cream cheese wontons, while this place has the crab rangoons. They weren't bad. Not the best I've had but that was also due in large part to the sweet and sour sauce which was too thick and tasted too much like jam to me;2. Panang Curry w/ chicken (1/5): This curry had zero flavor. I didn't even know it was possible to lack flavor with Thai food but this curry proved it's possible. It barely even tasted like coconut milk let alone panang spices. I did appreciate that chicken pieces were not huge and easy to eat without having to cut up;3. Pad See Ew (3/5): This was also lacking in flavor but not as bad as the curry;4. Tom Kha w/ Shrimp (4/5): By far the best thing we ate. The shrimp was clean and the flavors were great;5. Three Flavor Fish: I was hoping this would be a whole fried fish but it ended up being chunks of battered fish in the sauce. Initially it lacked in flavor but actually tasted better cold;6. Mango Sticky Rice (2/5): The sauce was super diluted and lacking in flavor and I like when the sticky rice is slightly salted, this wasn't.Another major con for me is that this Thai place doesn't serve papaya salad. That was majorly disappointing. All in all, it was a very lackluster dining experience. Would I try it again? Probably. I'd give it another shot in hopes that this experience was a fluke due to it being close to closing time or whatever--but honestly, that's not an excuse and food should never vary wildly in flavor and consistency. Unfortunately, my search for the perfect Thai takeout continues...

Really great Thai food... was in the area wanting Thai food and this place didn't disappoint. Be specific on how spicy you want it. Ordered the basil chicken and pad thai.

Hello, good afternoon, my opinion for this place, the preparation of its food is not good, the flavor is not good, the pasta is very hard, not that it is not cooked, the pasta is already dry, that is why this is my opinion for this place, my opinion is not good. their food
