Diner Review №14

After visiting Da Vien for Vietnamese style teas and coffee our appetite was stirring for some Thai food.

We wanted to go to another Thai Restaurant down Garden Grove Blvd, however the spot was too small and too packed. We took a little drive further down and found Thai Avenue.

The restaurant looked pretty inviting even during lunch hour on a Sunday.

Ordered their fish cake appetizer for starters and they were absolutely delicious even though Mom didn't think they would be good for the first try.
Next 2 orders of Pad Thai, Pah Kee Mao, and I got the Khao Kai which was amazing to my taste buds and palate. My first try of this amazing flat rice noodle dish and I will get this again for sure.
Pah Kee Mao (aka drunken noodles) was also a hit here and if you enjoy this Thai dish, you won't go wrong here.

The Pad Thai was a bit too sweet to be honest, I understand different cooks, different locations. I have had so many different styles of Pad Thai and a hint or a dab more of some tamarind and less sugar would have made it.
Mom and daughter both didn't like it either.

So all in all with the exception of their Pad Thai being too sweet, the Thai Cuisine was a 4 out of 5 stars.

Restaurant is clean, organized, friendly & accommodating service.
They did a great job here, thank you Thai Avenue.

Best Thai food I’ve ever had. It’s better than Thai food in Thailand. And I’ve been there many times. There’s only 2 restaurants in Thailand that rival the flavor and quality of this place. It’s like eating at a Michelin without the price and the difficulties associated with it. Can’t recommend enough. Food is spicy so make sure you can handle it or order everything mild spicy.

Pork shoulder. Papaya salad. Tom Yum. Fish in lemon sauce. These are my favorite.

Diner Review №55

Thai restaurant with a very authentic flavor flavor. The level of spice is off the chart and we love it.

Prices are a little higher, while portions were on the small side. The staffs are all helpful and attentive. FYI, they automatically add the tip for party of six or greater.

Siempre que vengo aqui a recoger ordenes aparte de mala atencion como se tardan agarre una orde. 10 minutos antes y ya llevo esperando 20 y nada

Diner Review №58

The food and the service are phenomenal!! We had the fried squid, spicy thai beef salad and the soft shell crab. The fried squid was the best we have ever had from coast to coast. The soft shell crab was so delicately fried. When we were all done we ordered another order of the fried squid 🐙. Thus place is an hour drive for us and we will be back.

Diner Review №59

The food were good as always and this was my 2nd time eating at Thai Ave.

Diner Review №60

The foods are so good. Yummy and authentic foods. I really like their papaya salad and giant squid. You cannot find this kind of tastes and foods much around here.

Diner Review №61

Good service and the food came out within a timely manner. The Thai flavors were on point with authenticity. However the portions were small but still recommend

Diner Review №62

LUNCH; Excellent crispy fried squid appetizer (clean fryer oil), Very good Pad Thai. Quick friendly and service, everything came out of the kitchen hot, and delicious. A bit pricy for the neighborhood but the quality and flavour are well worth a repeat visit. I highly recommend Thai Ave!!!

If you want to experience an authentic Thai food in this area, try this place. You won't be disappointed! I tried the deep fried fish with tamarind sauce and get hooked! The papaya salad is so fresh and tasty! I still feel my mouth watering when mentioned this dish!

Pretty tasty, I ordered the spicy basil fried rice with chicken. Unfortunately, they mixed up our order and I received mild. They gave me some red pepper flakes to put on it which made it a little spicier. The waitress was polite and attentive the establishment was clean also.

Diner Review №88

Amazing food and service. Super authentic as well.

Diner Review №89

This is a local whole in the wall. Its an authentic Thai restaurant with amazing staff and delicious food. I've come here twice in a week because I'm so hooked on how great the food is. They have outdoor and indoor dining as well as take out.I highly recommend coming here.

Diner Review №90

Compared to Banana Bay in Rowland Heights, the city of Bangkok, the famous thai restaurant in San Fran, and the many Thai places I've been to, I would say this place is a local gem. It's worth it, come give it a try.

This place produced the first dish that my wife stole from me and even sipped the remaining soup after I took it back and finished it.

This dish was the Boat Noodle. Simply delicious with tender beef sunken in an opaque sweet and sour soup.

The chicken sate was moist and tender as well. Just piling the sauce and the pickled vegetables onto the the chicken was a challenge, yet satisfying.

My wife loved her soft shell crab curry but I know she was eyeing my boat noodle.

I tried the Nam Tok but I'm a weaksauce to the pepper paste in this dish, so I couldn't enjoy it as much as a Thai would be able to.

I wasn't happy with the price of the food that I was charged for 1 person. The soup was $19 & the rice was $12.50, very experience a small amount for the price. Will definitely not be going back. Too experience for lunch!

Diner Review №99

Food was good.Service was bad.

Diner Review №100

Flavor is on point for the tom yum dish. Other dish we got were Tom koong fried rice and Pad Thai. The seasoning is good on the Pad Thai. The fried rice is kinda lump together but i guess that how this dish is. Worth a try and may come back for the tomyum

Diner Review №101

Diner Review №102

I wonder why this place is underated. We came in without any expectations because we were too hungry to care for an option. After finishing ALL of the dishes we ordered, all we can say is that Thai Avenue is extraordinary restaurant. I am sure you will be satisfied by anything you order in here. The staff is too friendly to be true. Will comeback for more of Thai food soon! Thank you Thai Avenue 😁

Diner Review №103

Service was good. Food was good. But place is not that big, so it's not good for a huge group of 6+. Price is decent. The crying tiger dish came in small portion, in my opinion and so i'd say it's not worth the price it was. Not good for large groups to share. Good enough for 2 only.

Had the freshwater shrimp tom yum. Very good. Papaya salad laos style was very salty. Pad thai with freshwater shrimp was too dry, not enough sauce. Overall food was decent. Got an extra star for the amazing service. The waitress/proprietress was by herself, but was helpful, friendly, and quick.

Amazing pad thai. Seriously the best I've ever had. I've had a good share of pad thais over the years. This is my favorite. Now, why not a 5 star?

The big prawn is nice, but a bit gimmicky, all made up by the amazing sauce they give you to go along with. But still, gimmicky.

The other reason that it didn't get a 5 star was because we ordered 2 additional items that left us with some, how shall I say, eyebrow raising concerns. One, the fried rice (beef) was pretty bland, like big time.

And the chicken wings, which turned out to be tiny wings because they cut the 2-bone wings into 2 separate pieces. So you think you're getting wings, when instead you're getting "wings." They were pretty good, but that split the wing in 2 just seemed odd.

Bad Experience

So surprised & disappointed by Yelp reviewers.
I hope not because of the complementary Thai tea!!!!
The questions is " Have you guys really try the foods???"

Pros:
Good location
Nice & cozy place
Staffs were friendly & helpful
Nice complementary Thai tea if you check-in with Yelp

Cons:
Hard find parking
The Egg rolls were horrible
Crying Tiger (1 tiny slices of beef - unflavored, touch & chewy
(Please go try out other restaurants & learn from it) - $10
redicuous price
Boat beef noodle (lack of seasoning with 2 meat balls) - Terrible
Red Curry (beef) - big disappointment
Pad See Ew (chicken & shrimp) - 2 shrimps & 8 pieces of chicken
(under seasoning, dry & horrible tastes)

Would never recommend to anyone & never come back there again!

Great delicious authentic Thai food! Wonderful service and friendly staffs. Stopped there 3 days in a row during the visit in the area.

Ordered to following dishes;
-Grill Baby Octupus (ordered every meal; authentic Thai street snack. Goes well with spicy lime juice sauce (Seafood sauce) on the side.
-Papaya Salad Loas style with salted crab, Medium Spicy: very authentic and delicious, with fresh green papaya, perfect amount of spicy level and ingredients.
-Pad Thai shrimp: perfectly cooked Pad Thai noodle and flavor as the close to the ones in Thailand. Would have gone for a second.
-Crab fried rice: generous amount of crab meat, perfectly cooked fried rice and amazing taste. This is exactly how I expected.
-Crying Tiger: amazing grilled marinated ribeye that melted in my mouth.
-Pad Pak Bung: stir fried Chinese watercress perfectly cooked and flavored. (Ordered this twice).

Definitely on my place to stop the next time I’m ever in the area again.
