10 Best Thai Restaurants in Santa Ana

“Very good Thai food! I consider myself a Thai aficionado and I’ve gotta say this place hit the spot. The owner was very friendly and brought the food out to us personally. It’s a satellite kitchen pick up spot with a few tables & chairs to eat if you’d like to dine in. Highly recommend 👌🏾“

“Love This here Food is great! I don't think that I have ever been disappointed with there food. Wait staff is great!“

“The Chicken Rice is one of the top spots in OC for original Khao Man Gai. It’s been a minute since my last visit, so I was surprised to discover that they relocated from their previous Santa Ana location into the 4th Street Market. The Chicken Rice joins a number of innovative food makers featured in this food hall. I parked at a nearby meter but according to their website, there are two parking structures off of 4th and 5th Streets that offer the first 2 hours free!

I recommend making it a combo with the Chicken & Rice which includes 2 choices of protein, soup and vegetables. My go-to protein choices are Hainanese Chicken and Crispy Chicken, so I get to enjoy the best of both worlds! The combo includes a choice of signature ginger rice or steamed rice, but you can choose brown rice (+$1) or sticky rice (+$2) for an additional charge. They also allow their customers to select 2 sauces from 8 different options. The Ginger Chicken Oil is a nice complement to the Hainanese Chicken and I enjoyed dipping the Crispy Chicken in their Spicy Soybean Chili Ginger sauce. If you’re a Hainan Chicken fan like I am, The Chicken Rice is a must try!“

“Excellent Food! Nice staff.“

“The best Pad See Ew I have ever had
and I have eaten A LOT! I cannot describe the joy this place gives me :))

The food is made incredibly quickly and the process of retrieving it is so smooth. Five stars all around.

TRY THE PAD SEE EW, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!“

“Delicious, freshly prepared cuisine.“

“What a pleasant surprise to find this little place tucked in the Santa Ana/Tustin area on Glassell and Fairhaven in the Big Lots shopping strip. Bangkok Taste is small eatery, would probably seat about 30 people but the flavors are pretty big. We didn't have a large supper because we were on our way to a party where there would be more food. But we couldn't eat at the party because we were so full from a plate each pad see ew pork and chicken, angel wings, massaman curry, rice and mango sticky rice to finish it off. What a feast! Plenty leftover for today's lunch. The only thing we didn't finish was the mango sticky rice. The coconut milk was a bit watery, almost no flavor which was a contrast to the absolutely heavenly coconut massaman curry. We don't live in the area but we visit a few times a month so we'll be back and take our time. Friendly and prompt service, great first experience, clean tables and chairs. Loved it!

Parking: It's a strip mall and they're three doors down from Big Lots so there's plenty of parking if you can't find anything directly in front of the eatery.“

“Food here are awesome!!! love it .. real Thai food. Try Pad See eww or Chicken krapraw..they are the best!“

“this is my favorite place to get thai food...

i got the pad see ew with chicken for $10.95... weighed about ~20oz... pad see ew is my favorite thai dish... i always get it... it's good, especially for the price... it has noodles, chinese broccoli, chicken, and egg...

i also tried the thai style omelette for $8.95... weighed about ~14 oz... t's just some rice topped with a fried egg... the egg is fluffy and salted to taste very good... but for ~$9, it is a bit overpriced...

overall, this place is cheaper than other thai places, but for $10 per pound of food, it is still pretty expensive...“

“For years I've wondered about this spot, especially since it had good reviews, it was close to home, and it's been around for awhile. I was disappointed that I couldn't order a combo meal, where you get 2 different dishes with a side of rice and noodles, just like most chinese fast food places. Sad to say but I was not to impressed with the taste of the food. It wasn't horrible, it just wasn't that great and not good enough for me to go back. Service was great and food came out fast.“
