My husband and I have been to Thailand many times and love Thai food… we were so pleased and happy to find this gem of a restaurant because it’s one of the best, most flavorful, and authentic Thai food we’d had in the states! Portions were generous, service was great (free Thai ice tea), and everything was SO delicious!! Parking isn’t the best but we found some on the street close by and it isn’t the fanciest of restaurants but guaranteed good food! ❤️
The food was good but not wow yk? There was only 1 server so we had to wait a-little bit for the food. The place is kinda small. And the table are kinda dirty. It’s like they don’t clean or wipe it. Still sticky. the food was really good. Love the food I ordered today for lunch. It just that the service was kinda slow. The drink was free.
One of the best mango sticky rice dishes I have tried. The pad thai and red curry were delicious. It was nice that the curry comes with rice. Some places don't. I forgot what the noodle soup was called. It was good, but a bit too sour according to my tastes. The complimentary Thai tea was tasty, not overly sweet. The service was nice and our food came out fast.
Literally real thai foods. Their foods are generally sweeter than other places. I personally have a big sweet tooth so it did not bothered me much but the sweetness did not go along with some savory dishes such as chili and basil. Tom kha is always my thai favorite. Khao soy was kinda too sweet but loved the flavor. (Almost drank the soup) only recommend this place to those like their foods sweet. Also the casher/server guy is super energetic and adds fun to eating experience.
I seriously love this restaurant!! My husband and I came for the first time a few weeks ago. We were given free Thai teas and the food was delicious 😫 We went again a few days ago because I could not stop thinking about the food. I was looking forward to coming back. The mango sticky rice is amazing. My compliments to the chef 🤌🏼 I’m probably getting some tonight. You will not be disappointed!
We are here for the NAMM Show and we wanted to eat at a small mom and pop type restaurant that isn’t a chain! Super happy with this little gem! And we met some new people while waiting for our food. When in town again, we will have to eat here again.
I'm going to share a little known secret. This place is somewhere I have been coming to for about 2 years and it has consistently delivered on flavors and portions.
Service is good, when we walked in we were greeted and then told to find a seat for ourselves. The welcome was not super warm and inviting but we did get a greeting. It felt more like the server was nervous and the Guest service did shine through that a little. He was very pleasant, but I think this could be misconstrued as being rude or short.
We also were offered complimentary Thai Tea which was delicious :)
The place is very small so dining in can be hard but it has not been too busy when I have come in. It does look like they get a lot of delivery orders.
The still water they serve also has a very unfiltered taste almost like drinking straight tap water.
FOOD:
Red Curry with Pork:
The curry sauce is delicious, creamy with a hint of sweetness and slight spice.
I think something that could elevate the dish is cooking the bell peppers separately and then adding into the curry because the bell peppers don't add much except for texture.
Overall an 8/10.
Pad Thai Lunch Combo:
The Pad Thai had a good flavor with the sourness I am expecting and the savoriness as well. It did seem very drenched in the sauce but it did not feel heavy.
Overall a 7/10.
Spicy Wings:
This was great! Cooked well with the crunchy exterior and juicy meat underneath. The sauce is delicious, spicy with a slow burn and sweet as well.
Some of the plates were also chipped.
OVERALL:
Overall 8/10.
Overall it hurts to give this place 3.5/5 stars today.
The quality seems to have dipped since the last time I have been here. This is good if you are looking for some average Thai food.
Fried rice is very sticky
I don't recommend the Fried rice

Great Thai restaurant and friendly staff.
Just tried this for the first time today.
Finally, a Thai place that believes me when I say I want it top level spicy. Chili and Basil leaves with Chicken is outstanding.
Will be coming back often.
Good quality food, good service… thank you 🙏
This is a tiny, independent place. I loved my food, and there is SO much more I'm dying to try. Definitely check this place out!
My new go to for thai food. The place is clean, the staff is exceptionally friendly and the food is delicious. I loved the egg rolls, yellow curry fried rice and spring rolls. The chicken panang was delicious, however I like mine a little sweeter but that's just my personal preference.
Just go here you wont be disappointed.
best free Thai tea
We absolutely love the owners, the servers, and the food, but recommend that you use your own restroom before you come.

If you want the best spicy thai food in town
Look no further. Your search has ended. This is your place. Thank you for your awesome spicy deliciousness.
Delicious.
It was my first time eating here, but I will definitely come back. I ordered the Massaman curry with chicken and brown rice on the side and both were delicious. I envied the family at the table across from me. There were (I think) eight people and they had ordered a number of different dishes for the table. I heard their comments and would have liked to have tasted many of them. Looks like I’ll have to come back and try something new.

Love the authentic Thai taste!
They gave free thai iced tea which was really good. The food and service were great!
Great tasting and affordable thai food. Nice a little friendly restaurant with free thai tea. Love their spicy chicken wings
Favorite Thai spot in OC until the last few months, Not sure if the cook changed but last 5 times noticed the taste changed enough to be noticeable. Paradise rich has to much curry the orange chicken not as much flavor , the padthai still 85% as good but missing something. Papaya salad still ok but missing something and looks more red than prior , paradise rice looks to orange compared to the best they used to make. Curry is ok but missing that bite, I think they changed cooks. Anyone recommend another spot? Price wise it's very good, large servings
Not sure why this restaurant has such a high rating - the food is not good. Maybe we ordered the wrong things, but we won’t be back. The server was incredibly friendly though!
Best pad Thai chicken I have ever had. This is the first time coming here and will absolutely be back. 10/10 teriyaki chicken and veggies was a good platter as well
The best Pad Thai I've ever had.
The food was excellent and right on time. We'll go back for sure.
The young man that served me was very helpful and thankful. I was pleased with the service and the food was delicious. Will be coming back again thank you again. Sal
Got take-out, which does NOT get free Thai Tea per our pick-up guy (5/2024). Quick completion of order and food was acceptable, but not quite what we were looking for.
Got the Thai Boat, which did not have any vegetables in our soup; with review of pictures, it looks like there should have been a little greens and a bit more meat. Flavor of soup was good though, but should have had greens. Beef was tough.
Also got Pad Se-Ew with beef: flavor was OK but could have used more seasoning.
Not sure I'd get take out again. Maybe would try another opportunity with in-house dining for the free Thai Tea, but not in a rush given food quality
Incredible food, incredible service. Some of the best Thai food I've had in my life
One of the best mango sticky rice dishes I have tried. The pad thai and red curry were delicious. It was nice that the curry comes with rice. Some places don't. I forgot what the noodle soup was called. It was good, but a bit too sour according to my tastes. The complimentary Thai tea was tasty, not overly sweet.

Food was great, the customer service I received was top notch. They are very kind and welcoming with the food so good brings you back every time.
Excellent service, food and everything! Garlic chicken wings so good
Closest pad Thai from Thailand in my opinion
I’m certain this is a great restaurant but I had a really bad experience on 2/18/24.
I ordered the fried rice with tofu instead of meat. I made it very clear that I’m a vegan and there should be no meat or meat byproducts in the meal. The waiter assured me it wouldn’t be.
My meal was served 10 minutes later with partially frozen tofu, and overcooked rice. I sent it back for a redo but the same meal was served.I picked out the tofu and sent it and the rice back.
I then had the main dish served as take out. I attempted to eat the main dish at home only to discover it contained remnants of chicken bones and chicken seasoning which as a vegan really upset my stomach.
It was as if the restaurant intentionally mislead me, and didn’t care about my concerns.
I really enjoyed eating at Real Thai. The employees were welcoming and I felt like I was eating at home. The food was also amazing; I ordered the Spicy Fried Rice with Medium spice and it was very good. Definitely recommend to friends and family.
Great food and friendly staff
The food here was great and the service was amazing. Hidden gem with amazing prices. Highly recommend
Amazing atmosphere and even better customer service. I came in with five of my friends and we ordered food and drinks to compliment our meals. They were quick with putting out our food and even generous enough to fill up our water bottles for free. Besides that, when I told my friends about this restaurant and ordered Thai teas for them, the owner was kind enough to give me one of them complimentary because of our company. Their heart is filled with gold and I hope they get more customers to serve!
Everything that we ordered was delicious. Savory and great flavors. We ordered the Tom Yum soup with shrimp, chicken satay, pad see ew with beef, and the bbq pork ribs.
The best tasting pad see ew!
El mejor servicio que e tenido, la comida perfecta, vinimos a festejar el cumpleaños de mi hijo y el dueño es muy amable. Voy a regresar:)
Superb & sincere service. We received our dishes in a timely manner and the food was at the perfect temperature and delicious for all of us. Go and visit them.
FOOD IS EXCELLENT...HAD CHICKEN PAD THAI AND SHRIMP ROLL...IM THAI FOOD EXPERT FROM EATING IN THAI TOWN EVERYDAY FOR YEARS WHILE WORKING UP THERE...THANKS AGAIN JADEN...
Richie
WONT BE A NEXT TIME...BUT JUST FOR FUTURE REFERENCE WHEN SOMEONE ORDERS THE BBQ CHICKEN WITH SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE...PLEASE OH PLEEEASE INCLUDE THE SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE OTHERWISE STATER BROTHERS CHICKEN TASTE BETTER...
Pad see ew was delicious and super authentic. Also enjoyed the Thai tea. Owner was super friendly and attentive!
Delicious food, great service
Give the most food for your money and is delicious! I have found that most places always cheat you on the quantity of food but not this place! Also, was waiting for my to go food for a while and without asking they gave me a complimentary Thai tea! Great customer service with a great attitude. Only thing I would recommend is this place move to a bigger location as it gets busy fast!
This was my favorite Thai place for the last 7 years. Last night was a changer for sure. It was terrible. I asked if it had changed hands and the waitress said she didn’t know. But then again she didn’t seem to know much. The food didn’t even look like what it was supposed to be. We only were able to take a few bites. When we complained she smiled and handed us the bill. She asked if we wanted boxes we both said NO! Service was as bad as the food. It’s a shame. I really liked that restaurant I used to even order my lunch there and pick it up. Never again.
Went in at an off time, so we were the only ones eating. Food was excellent and very reasonable in cost. Also food came out almost immediately, though this may have been the result of us being the only ones there.
Food is authentic and delicious
It takes too long to get our food
This is the most authentic Thai food you'll find in all Anaheim... the food has amazing flavor (the Thai sausage is a master of the 7 flavors). And prices are not bad... it is a small restaurant with a small staff trying to make it in a hard industry so please adjust your expecations... the owner is very kind and they struggle to keep up with full fledged restaurants but there is heart in this place that gets lost in the shuffle of bigger places... plus again.. you haven't had Thai food unless you have eaten here or Thailand
Incredible service. Very good food at a great price. The lunch special options are great and can save you a few bucks. One of the better options out there.
Big portions, great flavor, and very reasonably priced. Free Thai tea included with every dine-in entree
Great food at a great price and friendly service.
Simple, clean, good.
Cute little stop for some good thai food. Definitely recommend. Friendly people.
Very friendly people. Food met expectation! Will come back.
The food is amazingly delicious and complimentary Thai tea. Wonderful service.
Very good food! The drunken noodles were on point and the Tom Tom soup was the best if ever had. Loved the fresh mushroom and tomato chunks in it since it’s refreshing. The fried fish was also really good.
Don't let the Name fool you!
Don't even come close to Real Thai food.
Very bland
Great Thai Food and very friendly owners. Highly recommended!
The food is quite authentic at an acceptionally good price. The food was great, very good flavor in the entres and desert coming from a fellow Thai person. The waiter, Elio, was very quick with everything and was extremely nice. I recommend this lovely place for everyone who loves REAL THAI FOOD!!
Elio has great customer service. Best Thai food around! Come check this spot out for a cozy vibes and delicious food!
Great service and delicious food. Will definite come back!
Great pad see ew every time! Complementary thai tea as well. Delivery is free on orders $25+ which I take advantage of frequently. Most dishes are ~$10
One of the best Thai food spots in the OC. Real lowkey, hidden gem of a location. Welcoming and friendly staff, I highly recommend! If you're into spicy food, ask for your curry at "spice 3"
Delicious
Ordered this for take-out, and omg it was soooo good! I got the pineapple curry with tofu and the mango sticky rice, and both were 10/10! Definitely recommend checking this place out, you won’t regret it :)
Authentic Thai food, a little bit sweet
Ordered panang chicken and chicken chow mein. Not a lot of flavor and didn't taste very fresh. They offer a complimentary Thai tea for pickup's so I ordered 2 expecting to be charged for only one but they still charged me for both. I mentioned the sign for the free Thai tea and the guy offered an additional one but it was like a kids cup. Definitely marking this one off the list.
they make a good Pad See Ew here.
This spot is a family owned business and the owner's are so friendly. I have ordered their chicken pad-see-ew a few times now and it never
disappoints. It has been consistently delicious every time I have ordered it here. The spices, texture, and the
way they cook the chicken is
perfection. Their Thai Tea is pretty good, especially for me since it's not too sweet as most places make their Thai Tea. My partner ordered their chicken special fried rice and according to them, it is good in comparison to others he has had from other restaurants, this one has actually been good. Oh, their mango sticky rice is such delicious goodness. The rice is consistently cooked to perfection and their Mango is always sweet and fresh(all the times I've had it). Their customer service is superb every time and we have ordered for pick- up and delivery. I recommend this spot, It's truly delicious.
Ordered Thai Iced Tea, Thai Fried Rice (Combo: Beef/Chicken/Shrimp), Drunken Noodles and Spicy Eggplant
The eggplant was tender, the vegetables were well cooked and the sauce was flavorful.
The Drunken Noodles, Combination Thai Fried Rice and Thai Tea were also excellent.
The staff member was very nice.
The place was clean and well kept.
I would highly recommend this place and will return.
If you're a fan of crab and fried rice, you won't want to miss the crab fried rice at this restaurant. Made with real crab meat, the dish is flavorful and satisfying. Each bite is filled with the sweet and savory taste of the crab meat, and the fried rice is cooked to perfection. This dish is definitely a must-try for anyone who loves Thai food 🦀. Friendly owner and Free Thai Tea as well.
Awesome masaman curry and mango sticky rice.
Great little place to get some Thai food in the area. Currently has complimentary Thai tea with dine in. They have lunch specials that are all under $10, which is amazing nowadays. Food came out fast and service was great. Highly recommend the salmon panang curry and their paradise fried rice.
Delicious food and outstanding customer service! I believe it was the owner who recommended us a curry plate which we loved! We will come back! 100% recommended
Amazing meal overall. We got the Cashew Nut and Pad Thai Lunch specials with cream cheese wontons. Superb. Current promotion includes complimentary Thai Iced Tea which is also really tasty. Highly recommend.
Picked up to-go for 10 people and really liked the food. Very reasonably priced with good size portions.
Amazing food! Loves the flavors and authentic. Very friendly staff. Giving only 4 stars for the cleanliness of the place. If you only care about the food. This is the place to go for amazing Thai food!
I can't get enough of this place. I order through a delivery app. The flavors are full and very authentic. The President in Pasadena used to be my fave, but not anymore- yum!
The best Thai food in southern california
Bad service. I’m here for a pickup and it’s 20 minutes over the pickup time. I try to check in with the wait time and was ignored. Wouldn’t come back
Woooow
Amazing delicious food
U must try salmon curry
Wonderful and delicious
Ask for Fon she is lovely and willing to explain the whole menu and give u best choices
Definitely i will be back
We go the gym across the st , and always want to try this place but every time we finish is already close , today we got the chance to give it a try and wowww the food is the best Thai food we ever had , we order shrimp fried rice , papaya salad , tom yum soup ans sticky rice with mango dessert 😋 everything was delicious:)
However be patient on the food because we went on a Monday and was very busy , eat a little snack before you go , because they are busy and take your time to enjoy the food 😉
The only bad thing is food come out slow. The rest is perfect
The food is really delicious. The staff is very friendly and nice. We always feel very welcomed.
Amazing food & amazing service. The first time I came, I was in a hurry and the guy was very helpful and made my order as quickly as possible. I appreciate that. I’ve ordered a few different things and it’s all delicious. Thank you!
Place looks small , but worth of every min and dollar spent , initially I felt like they ignored me . But now nice I made sure I got the attention they gave me one of the best derive I received. Coming to the food quantity, quality and taste 10/10 in MY pov and if u are planning a small get together with small group of friends . I would recommend this place 100% 👍🏼
3rd time here and we’re locked in as loyal customers, freshly made delicious food, spices are on point, not overwhelming and the best; complementary thai ice tea 😋
Absolutely delicious food. Incredibly good flavors amongst the selections they had to offer. Ordered 4 different dishes and each one was amazing in their own way. Staff was very thoughtful and attentive. Please give this place a chance and a lot of attention, you won't regret it.
5/5 for both taste and customer service.
No joke some of the best Thai food I’ve had in Orange County and even better than some places I had in Thailand.
I've come here a few times now and they're consistent in using quality ingredients to make great food. They also have reasonable prices, which is hard to find nowadays. Come try out this local business, you won't be disappointed
Amazing food and friendly service in a convenient location! Its quite possibly the best Thai food I have ever had I will be back again!
Friendly folk. Delicious red curry and egg rolls.
Love the lunch specials!
Excellent dinner! Had chicken cury and cream cheese wontons... perfect! Spicy but not too hot. Really good! Worth the trip. Reasonnable price!
I seriously love this restaurant!! My husband and I came for the first time a few weeks ago. We were given free Thai teas and the food was delicious 😫 We went again a few days ago because I could not stop thinking about the food. I was looking forward to coming back. The mango sticky rice is amazing. My compliments to the chef 🤌🏼 I’m probably getting some tonight. You will not be disappointed!
The Best Red Curry, You have to try it, and the Thai ice tea, verry good
So glad I chose this restaurant!! Super friendly staff and AMAZING Thai food.
Friendly staff and good pad thai/thai tea
Delicious food, nice service
My experience at this restaurant was enjoyable. The food was fresh and authentic and cooked to perfection. The service was exceptional. The owners were very friendly and aim to please their customers. The next time my family and I visit the area, we plan to dine in again.
SO GOOD! I had larb gai (chicken), pad see ew and green curry, all super spicy. Larb is my favorite Thai dish, and I think this is the best I've ever had! They have sticky rice. (Some Thai places don't. 🤷♂️)
Wait staff were very friendly and attentive. Prices still affordable even post-inflation.
Don't judge a book by it's cover...Or you might miss out!
This almost happened to us.
The outside of the Real Thai Food doesn't impress.
The inside isn't the best either but don't let that change your mind.
The service is top notch!
Super friendly and so welcoming...It almost felt like eating at a friends/or family members home.
The food was great...We got the Tom Yum seafood soup...We opted for Extra Spicy and it was so good! We got their sampler platter it was alright. Also an extra spicy papaya salad. It was good but they put a lot of dried Chile's in it. I'm more accustom to the fresh Thai Chile's in papaya salads but still tasty.
We also feasted on their mango sticky rice which is so damn good!
The also have a really good Thai ice tea.
Overall everything was great and so was the service!
I would definitely recommend coming here and giving them a try.
Received a menu in the mail for this place and decided to try it out. They have lunch specials, and the mailer mentioned free delivery when spending $25+, but on the ordering site, only takeout or curbside were available. I probably could have called to get delivery, but oh well. This place is quite small inside, but it's definitely got a recently updated feel to it. The air conditioning was kickin, and the place was clean. They'd had a crazy lunch rush, so we had to wait a few minutes, but it was all good. The gentleman gave us an extra Thai tea for waiting.
Now for the food - for lunch specials, I was expecting small portions, but I was wrong! We had the green curry with chicken and the spicy basil chicken. Both came with white rice, salad, and a cute tiny crispy veggie roll. The rice and curry were definitely 2 portions. Can't wait to try the mango sticky rice next time. We'll be back soon!
I like their food I ordered once 9r twice a week
Nice owners, amazing food, def recommend
Muy buena comida, se siente el sabor a comida casera no la típica comida de cadena de restaurante, la atención excelente, los platos son abundantes el lugar un poco pequeño pero esta bien. Recomendado para una rica cena.
It was our first time going to this restaurant, the service was great, everything we order was delicious. Even my toddler got free ice cream he loved it. We’re for sure going back.
One of the best Thai foods you can find, totally recommend
My boyfriend and I came this afternoon after a long day of working and being super hungry. We were greeted and seated by the owner Jayden. He was extremely nice and has a great sense of humor, even with being the only one taking orders and serving for the day! The food was absolutely amazing! We ordered the yellow curry with chicken/shrimp and the Tom Kha soup. We will definitely be back!
10 star meal & service! Yellow curry and chicken pad thai... Both were delicious. Generous portions. Excellent customer service! Highly recommend..
I love this place so much! Great food and friendly service!
Food was soooo good and the southern hospitality and service was even better! Thanks Jayden we'll be back💋
Love this place. Owners are super nice and accommodating. Food is very authentic and delicious. The mango sticky rice here is the best.
Food is amazing and the're very friendly. Problem is that they're understaffed when they have a few dine-in customers and they have to fulfill delivery orders. It seems that they only have 3 people working and 2 of them are trying to multitask and help the cook at the same time. Just my opinion, but they need at least one person that is tending to dine-in guests at all times, even if it gets busy in the kitchen.
On the food note, their crab fried rice, grilled shrimp salad, and pad se ew are my favorites.
Excellent Thai food!
My husband and I had been in search of a good Thai food location. And guesssss what?!! We found it. Service was amazing and pricing was reasonable 🥰 thank you so much.
Ordered the green Thai curry and drunken noodles with mango sticky rice today. Showed up to pick it up and the man who helped me was incredibly kind. Definitely top tier customer service. The Thai tea was delicious and the curry was bright and flavorful, just how I like it. Will definitely return.
Good food
10/10 delicious I really recommend it 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Their food is outstanding!
The food here is very good. Friendly staff as well.
This Real Thai restaurant is got a owner, new chef. We’re here today Saturday’s 1/01/22. And we’re very disappointed about everything, services very slow, foods is unacceptable. I’m used to be regular customer before new owner take over. The food before was extremely excellent, very friendly services. This will be the last visited for us. ☹️😣😫!!
So good! Take out only, order ahead and pick up. The owner was so sweet when I came in to pick up our order.
I got the paradise rice (fried rice with chicken, shrimp, pineapple, cashews, raisins) and my boyfriend got the duck curry. I absolutely loved the rice dish, my boyfriend was being experimental with the duck but he still loved the taste of the curry.
Big portions and good prices. We definitely want to try this place again!
The owner is one of the nicest, friendliest restaurant owners ever. That alone is worth the drive. And the food? It easily competes with Jitlada, Night Market, Luv 2 Eat and Pa Ord Noodle in LA/Hollywood. Have had their massaman curry, fried rice, pad see ew, jungle noodles and papaya salad. All are DELICIOUS!
Update 11/27/2021 You can’t go wrong with any dish here. We keep coming back and absolutely LOVE it! Among our favorites and highly recommended: massaman curry, boat noodle soup, tom kha soup, tom yum (if you want a lighter soup… among the best anywhere), moo yang (pork), crying tiger (beef), spicy sole fish and roast duck curry (🤩 🤤).
When I arrived to pick up my order, I encountered a smiling and kind-hearted owner, who thanked me and told me that he valued my business. Without prompt, he delighted in explaining the regional styles of Thai food, as well as the specific style that his wife (the chef and co-owner) prepared. The information was cultural gold. Even before I dug in, I could sense that the food was prepared with empathy: good juju--cartoned, contained, and bagged. True to the vibes, each dish offered a "down home" comfort that stuck to my bones and put Holy Basil on my soul.
Ordered $50 of food and paid with credit card. Boyfriend wanted thai tea (which tasted like sugar water) and it’s $3 so I gave them a 20 dollar bill. I didn’t check the change they gave me until I got to the gas station and it was only $12. Count your change people!!!
I've known Pete and Kem the new owner's of the Real Thai Restraunt for more than 20 year's. My relationship started when with their other restraunt. She is the very best ultimate Real Thai Cook. Unlike many places today, she purchases nothing but the very best high quality fresh food and vegetables, realizing that it is the quality that keeps customers coming back! With the pandemic in progress, they are at this time only taking orders for take out, phone in for on line pickup, Grubhub Etc.
Truly, If you want to experience the taste of Real Thai Food, please give them a try!
I happened to drop by at this location for a quick lunch grab. The guy who came out to get my order was super sweet, and he endlessly said thank you for coming to have his food. Honestly speaking, I was in a bit of bitter mood because of what happened at the work in the morning. Him greeting so warmly made me feel much better. AND he offered a free Thai tea to put the cherry on top. Food was amazing, the service was amazing, I will definitely recommend this place.
OMG I finally found a good thai place to eat at!!!!! The host was so nice. While I was waiting I could smell the wonderful food. I just got home and my gosh.... I'm in LOVE!!! Saying it's authentic doesn't even cover how good it is. I am definitely coming back and this is going to be my regular spot now.
The food is heavenly! Perfect blend of spices. Curry is spot on authentic!! Soups are refreshing, aromatic, and delightful-- especially Tom kha. Owners are enthusiastic and friendly. Favorite Thai restaurant hands down. I'm lucky to live so close by. The ambience is the ultimate tiny, unassuming
holein-the wall restaurant you'll rave about to your friends..
Not great and not bad. Owners very nice. FYI, when the dish (papaya salad) says that it has crab its the soft shell baby crabs. There really isnt any meat you just eat the entire thing shell and all which most people wont like.
very good food here !
Amazing and friendly service. Delicious food and we were really happy with the overall experience. Definitely coming back
nice like the food
The name says it all. Really friendly staff! The area is not so great, but you know this place is going to be legit. A lot of the items on the menu you can't find at other places. Highly recommend!!
The food was okay, but not as flavourful as other Thai places. Prices are comparable
Best thai food restaurant in garden grove or anywhere else besides Thailand!
NAME SAYS IT ALL!!!
Never disappointed!
