50 Best Thai Restaurants near South Gate

“Wow what an amazing service and food. We came here because wifey wanted Thai food not to far from home. Came and found this hidden gem and was very hidden and wasn't sure it was open at first. When i walked in they were playing low mellow music and had the air condition at 65* a bit chilly but with the heat wave well worth it ?. Went up to the counter with wifey and suegra (mother-in-law) but the hostess had told us we can sit where we would like and use QR code for the menu ?. Fancy. So we used the QR ordered golden shrimp and pad thai and a thai tea. The food came out and was delicious ?. So much food they served enough for us to take home for tomorrow ❤️❤️?. We couldn't leave without dessert ? and ordered the mango sticky rice ? and jeez that was delicious ?. It was getting late and asked the time they closed and told us they already were close ? OMG ?. But they told us it was fine and to enjoy the meal. What a wonderful place with great food and atmosphere ?. Will be back here soon for even more food and sticky rice ? ?.

Kid-friendliness: Yea good.

Wheelchair accessibility: Your able to go in no issues.“

“great service getting the 3 pounds meal came from far just to try“

“I was told to review for a free Thai Iced Tea: Good atmosphere, the decor and lighting is beautiful! Good service, I went on a busy Friday night so it took a little longer to get the server's attention but they were soooo nice when they attended me. Not the best Thai food I've had, although I'm not a good guide for identifying Thai food authenticity. That said, the Pad Thai was not pleasing to my palette. Personally, it was too salty.
I do like that they their happy hour ends at 8pm on a Friday night, which is pretty late compared to other restaurants, and they are open late as well. Pad Thai -$17 + $4 to add chicken“

“I ordered the Tom Yum noodle soup, and what struck me immediately was the balance. The broth was not overpowering and had just the right amount of spice. I also liked pickled chili and enhanced the experience. Had the Tapioca for dessert. It was soft and sweet.“

“my go to Thai place in LA“

“I recently visited this Thai restaurant and was genuinely impressed by the clean, artful presentation and rich flavors of each dish. The Shrimp Garden Roll was a refreshing start—delicate rice paper wrapped around fresh vegetables, served with a tangy dipping sauce that brought out the flavors perfectly. Next, the Salmon Papaya Salad was a beautiful blend of textures and flavors: the slightly spicy green papaya complemented the tender, flavorful salmon, making it a delightful and satisfying choice.

The Drunken Pasta was a surprising twist, bringing a fusion of Italian and Thai flavors with just the right kick of spice. The pasta was cooked perfectly, absorbing the rich sauce that had a balance of bold flavors, spices, and herbs. Finally, the Crazy Green Bean was a standout, featuring crisp, sautéed green beans in a sauce that was both savory and slightly sweet, adding a delightful crunch to the meal.

Overall, each dish was thoughtfully prepared and offered a unique, satisfying taste experience. The restaurant’s attention to quality ingredients and authentic flavors made for an outstanding dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking refined Thai cuisine.“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“Great Thai restaurant! Very clean and friendly services, and quiet and peaceful environment. We ordered Drinken noodle with chicken and Hot & Picy Basil with shrimp and Stickly Rice. This guys are real! So delicious foods. We'll returning and will try different foods. Highly recommend!“

“Was so thankful that they were open on Christmas Eve! We feasted on some amazing tasting food!

Dietary restrictions: Just ask them before you order each dish.

Parking: Go down the ramp for more parking instead of trying to fight for the limited outside spaces.

Kid-friendliness: You can ask for non spicy for kid friendly options.

Wheelchair accessibility: Use the elevator from the parking lot and will be fine.“

“Some of the best FLAVORED Thai food I've ever had. Yellow curry chicken lunch special $13. Was amazing! And the Kung POW chicken entree for $15 ? spicy ? ? was the best I've ever had. Great portions also . This is one of those restaurants where the owner is your server.“

“Great spot. Great people. Great concept. Fun time. It's a must.“

“Indeed there is no restroom here so prepare before arriving.

Caveat, growing up eating homemade Lao food, am a bit selective.

Kao poon. Broth is how I remember with chicken, semi sweet (coconut), salty, and a bit spicy. Additional dry chili topping but would have preferred fresh chilies.

Mok pla. Could use more spice, otherwise other than the salmon, similar flavor especially with the herbs, the dill is what gives it a nice herby fragrance.

Pad woon sen. With chicken. Good but not quite enough. Missing the soy/oil aroma, a hint of it is there but not strong enough for me and the noodle a bit overcooked and prefer with tomatoes for acidity.“

“This is by far the best value for money Thai restaurant in K-town!! It tastes good and the portions are generous. It's been 7 years already? It's a regular place?

The menu I ate
Shrimp Pad Thai
Crab Fried Rice

I think both cost about $14.
Thai Tea is also very sweet and spicy.

Recommended!!“

“😃I like the way they cook all family members working real Thai Food cook by Thai people“

“Big portions, excellent prices, and authentic fare“

“First time going here. I got the Beef Drunken Noodle and the Seafood Tom Yum Soup. When I tell you both dishes had so much flavor and they give you big portions. The food was absolutely delicious and amazing. The waiters were very kind and very attentive. The place was decorated in Halloween decorations, so cute. I loved everything about this place. This will be my go to spot for Thai food from now on. I'm a very hard food critic and this place passed with flying colors. Thank you for the amazing food. I will be back.“

“I came to this place a little over week ago and was pretty impressed by the experience. My cousin and I were in the area and decided to get some lunch here. The place is nicely decorated, super clean, and the servers were very friendly. The food was also delicious and the portions were very generous for the prices. I will definitely come back if I’m in the area again.“

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“Chili & Lemon Thai Cuisine well know establishment in East L.A on Atlantic Blvd just a block from Whittier Blvd in the heart of East L.A. This is only Thai restaurant in East L.A but not sure but you have travel to Monterey Park or Alhambra to get some Thai cuisine. We often use Door Dash,Grub Hub or Uber eats depends which service delivery on time.

We enjoy Thai cuisine because we know everything made fresh and using fresh ingredients. We notice Chili & Lemon Have be come very popular with Latino communities in East L.A. Our favorite dish are the Teriyaki chicken and Yellow curry with rice. They have good selection of items in their menu everybody enjoy spicy food like Thai.“

“Tastes absolutely delicious and exactly the same as it did 30 years ago! Teriyaki chicken, order the #1 and you'll be happy!“

“Good food and good service at a moderate price“

“Step into Mama Mae Ting's stall and you will be transported into an authentic Bangkok soi eatery (street stall). Somtam is fresh, crunchy and seasoned as spicy as you can handle; the BBQ chicken (gai yang) & BBQ pork (mu ping) are super savory and juicy (and conveniently served on sticks)..be sure to ask for sticky rice with that! Missed out on the kanomkrok but will save that treat for my next visit. Super arroy di mak-mak!“

“Best Thai food in LA! 🔥🔥🔥“

“Have lunch with co-workers every week here. Great food and very friendly service. Best Thai food I've found in the South Bay area!“

“My order of Pad Thai was ready faster than anticipated, and turned out to be delicious! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. This place is a somewhat hidden gem and I will definitely be back. Be advised that when they indicate spiciness they mean it so, if you don't like things deliciously spicy, be sure to select mild or not spicy!

Kid-friendliness: The owner had a variety of games to keep the little ones occupied“

“Was craving Thai food and was on our from LA to Orange County. Found this place to have excellent reviews on google. We ordered pad Thai , basil chicken and shrimp fried rice. The food tasted extra ordinary. Haven’t had such amazing food in a long time , that not only tasted exceptional but looked great as well. The service was awesome as well and so was the ambiance. Would definitely recommend.“

“Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. We split two dishes. The flavor was solid on both, but definitely indulge in their hot sauces because it elevates everything from great to phenomenal. Would honestly eat here everyday if I lived nearby.“

“I had a great experience with food and service here. The boba for their Thai tea is made fresh daily, and the signature Rice street noodle is something I have never had. The mango sticky rice is level beyond. Also, the hospitality of the owner and staff are second to none. I felt like part of their family the moment I walked in. This is probably one of the best Thai restaurants that I ever tried.“

“Very delicious array of food. The staff were very friendly and courteous. Food were cooked as you order them. We enjoyed the food. It is a mom and pop restaurant that serves great food.“

“Fresh ingredients, a little heavy on the MSG but this is normal for all Asian food. Highly Recommend, authenticity is very close to Easter province Thai food.“

“excellent, delicious and authentic“

“Cholada is amazing! We came in as a first time visit. The drunken noodles are scrumptious, absolutely delectable. Not only is the food delicious, but the service makes it all the better. A small business, Cholada has the authentic sweet service of a family-owned restaurant. I recommend this place!“

“Pad See Ew is delicious! 🤤 their Thai tea is great too!!!“

“Had the Tom kha seafood and the pork pad thai. Both were excellent. definitely will be back“

“Great service and good food.

Thai is my favorite cuisine, but as we were not too hungry on a Sunday evening we decided to do something light instead of full meal. We ordered the veg Tom Yum soup which was a large dish and good for more than two people. Hence stayed with one starter each - egg rolls and chicken satay.

Will definitely be back here to try other dishes.“

“Came for dinner. The service was top notch. The restaurant is cute, inviting, and well lit. There’s ample parking and entrance from the parking lot as well as from the main st. We asked for medium heat and it could’ve been spicier. We were just cautious. All dishes were delicious. Loved the bowl size soup. More than enough for 2 to share. They gave us a rice pudding to close off our meal- delicious.“

“Here there is an interesting mix of Japanese & Thai fusion flavors. We came for the tasting menu. Fresh herbs & foods were used. 3 out of the 8 dishes i wasn't a fan of but my friend loved all of them. To each is own palette. Small & quaint place. Staff were all very approachable.“
