About Favorites Thai BBQ

Favorites Thai BBQ offers a memorable dining experience with friendly service and attention to detail. The restaurant serves elevated Thai cuisine with unique dishes like confit duck leg in a red curry. The set menu features a variety of dishes, including boneless short ribs and prawn curry, all expertly prepared and beautifully presented. Customers have praised the consistent quality, noting that each dish is nuanced, well-paired, and flavorful without being overly complicated. The flavors are bold and well-balanced, and the ingredients feel fresh. The small space can be busy and seating close to others, so reservations are recommended, especially for dinner. Parking may be limited due to street parking downtown. The pricing is considered fair for the quality and recognition, including a Michelin recommendation. It’s a great spot for a special meal, whether for a date, a group of friends, or just to enjoy some amazing Thai grill. The staff is friendly, making each visit memorable, and many guests look forward to returning.

Recent reviews highlight the accommodating nature of the restaurant, especially for guests with babies, and the staff's understanding when plans change. Guests appreciated the thoughtful gesture of offering free Thai basil ice cream when their reservation was unexpectedly canceled. The atmosphere is cozy, with a slightly hidden entrance that adds a bit of drama to the experience. The dining room is comfortable, with seating along the windows and against the walls, making it easy to settle in. The food, including the tasting menu with wine pairing, is inventive with layered flavors that are easy to enjoy, though some dishes like the palate cleanser and heavier fish course could be improved. Despite minor missteps, the overall experience remains impressive, thanks to the knowledgeable and attentive staff. Many visitors from different places, like SoCal, find Favorites Thai BBQ unforgettable, especially when enjoying standout dishes like char siu short rib and Thai-style chicken wings, and feeling well taken care of by the staff.
