“The best authentic Thai food restaurant in town. Lunch specials are worth to try and definitely will keep you coming back.

“Excellent Food! Nice staff.“

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

“I got the BBQ chicken and (steamed) rice with the ginger scallion sauce and it was so good! The chef and employee were also very nice and were available for any questions we had.
I also got a Thai iced coffee with milk and it is wow! It’s very strong, so fair warning, but also very good! It’s not super sweet or bitter - it’s the perfect in-between.
For the food and coffee (with tip) the total came out to about $24 as of January 2026. I will gladly pay that again! :)“

“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.“

“We came in starving and left happy and full with leftovers! We ordered today's special, spicy garlic Chicken, mandarin Kung Pao Shrimp, chive dumplings, Mix Vegetables and the Lo Mein Beef. We dove into the food before I could take a proper before picture.“

“First time here and I loved it. The food is delicious, big portions, affordable pricing, freshly cooked. Service was phenomenal, friendly and caring. The Pad Thai and Chow Mein (items I ordered) were so yummy! Plus the sticky mango rice was the perfect dessert, highly recommend this place!“

“It is the best Thai street food in Town. The best Sevice, Friendly Stuff and best Chef. I ordered Crab fried rice, Ku Moo Yang, and crispy belly Kra pow, Banana Grandma, Meatloaf salad. And Mango sticky Rice. They were good like the name of the restaurant! Say Yum! I recommend!!“

“Hidden gem in Orange, CA that is hard to forget. I came here with someone very special to me and it's safe to say, they loved it as much as I did. Our server, Uma greeted us upon entering with a warm smile and she was just so lovely throughout the course of our dinner. She was very attentive and ensured that we were satisfied with the food and our experience periodically throughout the night. They truly care about their customer's satisfaction.

We ordered 1) Tom Kah (Coconut Soup), Medium Spicy 2) Fried Rice with Chicken, 3) Pad See Ew with Beef, Medium Spicy and their iconic 4)Mango Sticky Rice.

As I documented pictures of our meal throughout the night, clearly the Mango Sticky Rice dessert was so irresistible that when delivered to our table, we dove right in before photographing it. (Photos attached)

I would HIGHLY recommend the Coconut Soup as it is my absolute favorite item from this location. And their Pad See Ew is the best Pad See Ew I have ever had.

Lastly, the fried rice with chicken was made to perfection and so much so that my date and I deduced that their secret ingredient must be love.

The owners truly care about their guest experience and I can't stress that enough.

If you have the opportunity to dine in, please do so. But if you're unable to dine in, I can reassure you that once you try their dishes, you'll never forget them.“

“Really delicious food. I enjoyed it a lot.“

“Absolutely loved this Thai station! The food was authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. Every dish was perfectly seasoned and reminded me of home. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service. The restaurant was clean, cozy, and had a warm atmosphere. If you’re looking for delicious Thai and Lao food, I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be coming back!“

“5 Stars - A Hidden Gem in Huntington Beach!

Real Thai and Korean Corn Dogs is hands down one of my favorite spots in Huntington Beach! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warm, friendly service — and a special shoutout to Jaden, who made the entire experience even better. Super attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind — you can tell he really cares about the customers and takes pride in what he does.

Now, let’s talk food. The Pad Thai is absolutely perfect — packed with flavor, the noodles are cooked just right, and the balance of sweet, savory, and a little tang is exactly what you’d hope for. And the Panang Curry Chicken? Out of this world. Rich, creamy, perfectly spiced, and the chicken is always tender. It’s comfort food at its finest.

The Korean corn dogs are a fun twist too — crispy, cheesy, and ridiculously satisfying. Great quick bite with plenty of flavor options.

Overall, Real Thai & K Corn Dogs is the kind of place that hits every mark: amazing food, great vibes, and top-tier service. Ask for Jaden if you go — he’ll take great care of you!“

“My wife and I are big fans of Thai cuisine, and last night we decided to try Signature Thai Bistro. We were intrigued because it occupies the same space as Supatra's, a spot we used to frequent years ago before the change in ownership. We called ahead to make a reservation and were seated promptly within a minute of our arrival. My wife follows a gluten-free vegan diet, and Thai food has always been a reliable choice for her. She called in advance to ensure options were available, and the staff was accommodating. Our server, Paul, was outstanding. He went above and beyond to ensure the kitchen was informed about my wife's dietary needs, making the experience seamless and stress-free. Here's what we ordered: Tom Kha Soup: Excellent, bursting with rich and vibrant flavors. Summer Rolls: My wife loved them--fresh and perfectly prepared. Mango Mood drink: Another hit, beautifully balanced and refreshing. Wine: A familiar choice for my wife that paired well with the meal. String Beans and Eggplant: Very delicious, with bold and flavorful seasoning. Crying Tiger: Unfortunately, this dish didn't meet my expectations and is one we wouldn't recommend. Overall, the food was excellent, aside from the Crying Tiger, and the service was exceptional. Special thanks to Paul for his attentiveness and genuine kindness. We highly recommend Signature Thai Bistro for its delicious offerings and top-notch service.“

“Cool decor! Built by owner! Must visit! Have your espresso here!“

“I have been coming to this restaurant for many, many years. Staff is awesome and friends,with majority of the staff. They know exactly my order.Even when I call they know who it is on the phone. I highly recommend to try the crying tiger and MY RIB & KHAO SOI. Mmmm sooo good 👍“

“Highly recommended, eating here feels like I am in Bangkok already! Thick flavor authentic Thai food😍 everything is perfect and in big portion🥳 recommended this place to my friends when I first came here, and we will come back again and again!“

“Love this place!! This is our third time eating here, we’re actually visiting from NorCal. Everything we’ve tried up to this point has been so yummy, the staff are very nice & the ambiance is a very home-y feel. They play relaxing jazz music & the music isn’t too loud so you can easily have conversations.
This time, we ordered the pork jowl, pineapple red curry with chicken & the pad see ew with shrimp. The pork jowl is definitely a shareable appetizer, it was more than we thought would come out & it came with a tangy spicy sauce. We got the curry medium spicy and it was the perfect spice level for us! It was nice and creamy/smooth. The pad see ew could use a little more soy sauce but otherwise also still good!
Will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Thank you Manon for the delicious food and lovely hospitality!“

“I have been to many Thai restaurants but this one stands out with tastety food and outstanding service .... strongly recommend you to try their food“

“My Yellow Curry with shrimp was delicious! All the food I ordered was scrumptious and flavorful! The food came out hot, which I loved. Their service is good, and I will be returning. Thai Belly is located inside a food hall, where you can sit inside or outside. I like sitting outside to enjoy the view.“

“Friendly service, nice decoration, clean environment and great food!

We had the angel wings( deep fried boneless chicken wing stuffed with pork, shrimp, and chicken) as appetizer. It’s a good crunch. We also have the tom kha seafood soup, very comforting and full of ingredients and spices. the crying tiger is so juicy. And the crab fried rice can really taste the wok. We also tried the new fried pork with Chinese broccoli. For dessert we have the mango sticky rice, I like how it comes with a heart shape!

For drinks we have Thai milk tea, pink milk and fresh coconut. Overall, an authentic Thai restaurant that you should give a try!“

“Delicious Food amazing customer service If you love Thai this place is a most“

“Took my team here for a lunch and we only had an hour. I had called ahead and Kim had our table reserved, got the food moving early, and we were in and out without any stress. The food was amazing, everyone on the team couldn't stop talking about it.

She also arranged a little birthday dessert for one of our team members which was a really lovely surprise.

Great spot for a group lunch or solo lunch. I’ll definitely be back!“

“They have good food and drinks, I miss the free Thai tea promotion, I don't usually order drinks because we spend over
100 dollars for our family of 4 to eat there . It's a small place so we always get it to go. My favorite is the Crab fried rice, ask for no onions, they sometimes put too many which ruins the flavor for me !“

“The best Thai cuisine in town, Chef is from Thailand, authentic taste as well. Walked in with my husband in mid-Dec, we both are Green / Red chicken curry lovers, price is right, enjoyable food, strongly recommend. Then, got lunch special take out today, it was fast prepared. Brought it home, food temperature and taste remained Hot/Delicious as we expected. Definitely would visit or take out again.“

“Authentic thai restaurant. Staffs are from that country. Goid, clean food and restaurant. Ordered papaya salad, pineapple rice, sticky rice and dumplings.
All good quality. Good for families and company luncheon and dinner. Reasonably price.“

“La amable atención. La comida deliciosa!“

“LJ’s Lounge was an incredible experience. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and every detail reflected genuine hospitality. But what made the biggest impression on me wasn’t just the food it was the story behind the man and the family. Honoring his mother while creating a lasting legacy for his family and the community is truly inspiring. He’s built more than a lounge; he’s created a place where great music brings people together and connects souls. If you’re looking for amazing food, good vibes, and a place with real heart, LJ’s Lounge is absolutely worth the visit.“

“Ordered the yellow coconut curry with chicken and pad see ew with beef. Enjoyed it so much it had a nice little kick to it. The spring rolls here are delicious! Took some more to go. We ended it with mango sticky rice and wow perfect ending to our meal. Not busy on a Saturday 2 hours before closing. Must try!“

“From the service to the food, everything was amazing! My new favorite restaurant!!!“

“Siam Station is Thai food at its best!! It offers a great Variety of Thai food, and what I’ve had so far doesn’t disappoint!! I’ve had Pad See Ew with the filet mignon, as well as the chicken yellow curry and Tom Kha Kai soup, which was amazing. I had that with shrimp. If you’re in the Newport beach area on the peninsula, I can’t recommend Sam station enough.“

“Delish and great staff. The staff IS family and they treat not only their customers like family, but the other staff as well. That means a lot. We had a fun time with DJ and Pleng. About the food... We had 4 dishes... Hanuman's ceviche, Tom Kha Gai, Massaman, Pad See Ew and a nice glass of Malbec. My favorites were the ceviche and Massaman. But everything was so good. Hubs liked everything. There was literally no wait at 3 pm but come soon... Once word gets out this place will have a 45 min wait just like the mother location on Bristol.“

“Today I went to rodeo 39 in Garden Grove with some friends and I stumbled across Kra Z Kai's. It was my second time trying Laos barbecue. This place is a hidden gem for sure. Everything was the delicious. The ribs were marinated for 24 hours. The barbecue pork and the chicken were all marinated in the same sauce. The owner told me the service was fast and this whole ambience was nice some of the best food I've had in a long time next time I'm going to Garden Grove. I will come here again.“

“I WILL FOREVER HYPE THIS PLACE!!

Everytime I go to this wonderful place, the staff are always such a joy! And the food is always so delicous. Although seating is limited, it doesnt stop them from treating you so kindly.

My personal favs are the drunken noddles, Sa Tay chicken, and all there soups... ALL OF THEM!

Please im begging try this place!“

“Great Thai food nice Service 👍❤️“

“Very good Thai food. Staff were very friendly. Good price for portions.“

“Favorite local neighborhood Thai restaurant. Absolutely love the Kao Soi Chicken. =)“

“Great Thai food! I recommend the asparagus shrimp and the pad kee mao. Friendly staff. Inexpensive.“

“Went to Huntington was a bit hungry and searched for a Thai resto.
Found this spot and we were right in choosing this resto.
Every order we got was so good, and the food was so quick to serve. I will definitely bring my family members when I get back to Huntington and go to this place.“

“Food is excellent! Customer service is outstanding!“

“Everytime we come to Yorbalinda we have to stop by the Bangkok house Thai, serves one of the best Thai food I’ve ever had even my 3 year old loves it!! We usually order the same, wonton soup, shrimp chow mein and yellow curry this time we order orange chicken and OMYYYY LORD best decision of my life!!! It was crunchy, chicken was soft not too much sauce but definitely not dry. Just perfect.

We’ve also had the thai tea when I tried it I felt like I died and went to heaven, SO GOOD. Mango sticky rice just as good!“

“1. The pad thai was definitely filling, and I love the crispiness of the fried tofu! The thai tea was also refreshing!
2. The spot has chill casual vibes! The interior has high ceilings!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! My food was ready after 10 mins!
Note: There is a bathroom available for customers!

“We all enjoyed our food. The chicken appetizer was ok. Beef satay was good. The pad Thai, pad khee mao and massaman curry were all good. The curry had rich, warm flavor. I wish the carrots and potatoes had been a little softer (cooked longer)
There was a bit of confusion with how the spice levels worked and also what we were ordering for an appetizer and wanted to come out first versus what we were ordering for the main course.
The refrigerator makes a loud buzzing noise and it vibrates the restaurant. The wall next to us was shaking“

“Delicious, freshly prepared cuisine.“

“The best Thai Food restaurant in Southern California. I would name my favorite dishes, but there’s too many to choose from 🍛 And I can’t ever skip the mango sticky rice 😍“

“Good place for family dinner“

“I have been going to Thai Pepper for decades now. There food is always just spot on and the lunch special of $9.95 is a great deal. You get an entree in which I always get The Mint Leaves Chicken, fried rice, two fried wontons and a salad. My only suggestion would be to put the salad in a separate little box so it does not get hot next to the hot food. Other than that the food is excellent and great prices. You can get it mild to very hot on the spice! I stick with mild and my friend always gets the level 10 hot, hot, 🔥🥵 HOT. I would die, but different strokes for different folks.👍🤤🎉“

“The Pad Thai here is the best one I have tasted so far“

“We love Thai fix! We have been coming here for years. We moved to the other side of HB about 2 years ago but we drive over to grab Thai Fix about 1-2 times a month. I love their Pad Tai with chicken, Green Curry and my husband loves the Pad See Ew. We would recommend you try it for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.“
