⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review

Thai Favorite Cuisine — I’ve eaten here before the new ownership, and I have to say… the food now is excellent. For my Radna, I actually requested that they char the noodles a little more than usual because I love that smoky, flame-kissed taste you get from real Thai street vendors. They did it perfectly.

And just to be clear — that “street vendor, open-flame aroma” is a big compliment, not a complaint. That smoky wok-char flavor is exactly what makes authentic Thai noodle dishes so special. When I opened the container at home, the aroma hit me immediately and it felt like I was standing in a night market in Thailand. Absolutely delicious.

I also ordered Panang Curry. There was a mix-up the first time (I received yellow curry instead), but when I called, they were kind, gracious, and happy to fix it. I picked up the correct Panang today and again — simply amazing.

To be fair, I’ve only tried these two dishes so far, but I haven’t been disappointed at all. I’m a very fussy eater, and I’ve tried several Thai places down the street — none compare to the flavor here. When a restaurant specializes in a cuisine, it should taste authentic, not “fusion,” and this place really delivers.

Highly recommended if you want fresh, flavorful, real Thai food. I’ll definitely be back. 💛🥢🌶️🔥

Best spicy fish dish I've ever had. Get this for sure. I think you can ask for it to be not spicy too. Pam & Win great service

food quality & Curry are good here . Added new ; Changing the review in 2025 - lowering the rating for charging gratuity of 19 percent for 4 folks , basically paying 30 percent extra with tax for couples . It’s not an upscale restaurant for gratuity for couples.

Best Thai in Orange County — Our Favorite Spot!

This is hands-down the best Thai restaurant in Orange County! Every dish tastes fresh, vibrant, and made with the finest ingredients. The filet mignon skewers are out of this world — tender, flavorful, and paired with a spicy, tasty dipping sauce that’s perfection.

The Pad Thai is delicious, and all of the curries are rich, fragrant, and absolutely crave-worthy. I also love the Tom Yum creamy noodle soup — comforting, full of flavor, and perfectly balanced. (The Tom Yum soup itself was just okay, but everything else more than makes up for it!)

The service is top-notch — friendly, attentive, and always welcoming. Every visit is consistently amazing, which is why this has become our go-to Thai spot. Very casual. Highly recommend to anyone who loves authentic, high-quality Thai cuisine!

We were looking for a Thai restaurant and found Thai Favorite Cuisine on Google Maps. Wow, what a great find! They have dishes here that I have not seen at other Thai restaurants before. What we ordered all tasted fantastic. The decorations were bright and inviting. The atmosphere was casual and very comfortable. All the staff we encountered were friendly, and our server Pam was super. She recommended the Thai shaved ice for dessert, and boy, it was very delicious. If you like Thai ice tea, then you must get the Thai shaved ice, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend Thai Favorite Cuisine for your next Thai restaurant.

I used to come here often before the renovation and frequently ordered through DoorDash. The food has always been delicious. Recently, I decided to bring my family to dine in and enjoy the new renovation. Unfortunately, it turned into one of the most uncomfortable experiences I’ve ever had.

We were escorted to a small, unrenovated room in the back where only Hispanic families were seated (my family is Hispanic as well). Meanwhile, all the Asian customers were seated in the newly renovated main dining area, and not a single Hispanic family was placed there that evening. The separation felt discriminatory and made us very uncomfortable.

As much as we love the food, the way we were treated that night left us feeling unwelcome and disrespected.

Overpriced , very small portions and extremely rude waiters . Food is okay .
They give a menu with one price and charge you one price . Not happy at all .

Good customer service. Chicken satay was good. Sweet sticky rice with durian was awesome. Grilled squid was rubbery and its sauce was ok. Its photo online is not the same in person. Swai Fish was crispy and delicious. Potatoes in the beef yellow curry was not cooked fully. Its beef was ok. Would probably go back for the chicken satay and the sweet sticky rice dessert.

Food was ok, but too sweet.
They will charge 18% tip even for a party of 5. Too greedy !

I tried the Pad See Ew and the beef skewers, and both dishes were amazing! The noodles in the Pad See Ew had the perfect chewy texture, and the seasoning was spot-on — savory, flavorful, and well-balanced. The beef skewers were the absolute highlight of the meal: juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. If you visit, these are a must-order! The interior is bright and clean, giving a comfortable dining atmosphere, and the prices are quite reasonable for the quality. Overall, an excellent spot that I’d gladly come back to — highly recommended!
