Diner Review №5

My new year resolution is to try new restaurants. Say Yum Thai Street Food is near my house and I’ve always seen it but never been until today.

Say Yum Thai Street Food was an absolute treat! We tried the yellow curry, pineapple fried rice, cheese wontons, mango iced tea with rainbow popping boba, and Thai tea with sugar boba.

The yellow curry was rich and flavorful, with just the right balance of spices—comforting and satisfying. The pineapple fried rice was a perfect mix of sweet and savory, with chunks of pineapple adding a refreshing twist. The cheese wontons were crispy, creamy, and absolutely indulgent—a must-try!

The mango iced tea with rainbow popping boba was a burst of tropical flavors with a fun, playful texture, while the Thai tea with sugar boba was a classic, sweet, and creamy.

Overall, the food was fresh, the flavors authentic, and the presentation vibrant. Say Yum Thai Street Food truly lives up to its name. Highly recommend!

I got the chicken fried rice and I thought the price was good, for $15 eating till I’m full and still having some leftovers is great, the place is very nice and the servers polite. Definitely will be coming back!

Diner Review №7

This place is a Bomb 💣 spot !! I'm sure the atmosphere will grow as time goes by

Diner Review №8

This some of the best Thai food I have ever ate. It's a great stop before work and has very affordable prices. The people are always nice and the seating is super nice. They outside and inside seating and a window for take out. They have a wide range of spicy flavors and choices. This is the place to eat if you want to try something new and tasty!

Diner Review №9

Authentic Thai food! Pad Thai, chicken curry delicious. Nice fluffy white rice. Friendly and quick service. Not fancy but well worth it!

Diner Review №10

Very nice and freindly great food. I will be back for more often.

Diner Review №11

The best Thai food in the area!

Diner Review №12

Amazing service and staff. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is cute and cozy, especially their outdoor space. The food was amazing, and I'm definitely coming back to try everything on the menu.

Diner Review №13

What a great little hole in the wall authentic Thai place. The food is very flavorful and saucy just as I remember from traveling throughout Thailand years ago. Perhaps it’s the small space that they’re able to have lower prices compared to other neighboringThai restaurants. Green Thai tea was very nice and not overly sweet. They also serve boba but I didn’t order any.

Diner Review №14

Food wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. They added msg to food which gave me a massive migraine. Sorry to say I won't be back.

Diner Review №15

Really fast delicious food!

Diner Review №16

Always fresh and high quality. I have tried so many dishes here and each one has been a hit. We have been especially obsessed with the cream cheese wontons which are PERFECT texture.

Diner Review №21

Diner Review №26

chicken and beef are too dry and have no flavor. overpriced

Diner Review №27

Really great Drunken Noodles and Pad Thai tonight. The sticky rice and mango was excellent as well. Great service, good prices for the portions. We will be back soon!

Diner Review №28

I am so glad I finally walked into this place! The food was incredible (I don’t think I’ve ever had better tasting mushrooms!), and the staff members were amazing. Max gave us a personal magic show while we were eating that was so delightful, joyful, and, well, just magical! Can’t wait to go back!

Diner Review №29

Good food and very friendly service.

Favorite Thai food in Orange County

Diner Review №31

My family and I had the best time during our first visit! We came for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and dined al fresco on their cute outdoor patio. Based on other reviews, we initially assumed that we needed to order and pick up our food from their takeout window, but Sarah came to our table and checked on us often.

We chose various dishes and drinks, with me getting my usual chicken Pad Thai and Thai iced tea. Everyone enjoyed their food, and there were no complaints. However, the most pleasant surprise came at the end of our meal when Chef Max stopped by to ask about our experience.

We shared that we had a lovely time, and while chatting, he mentioned that it was only his fifth day working at the restaurant. He also does magic as a hobby and offered to show us a few tricks, which we excitedly accepted. Lunch and a free show?! Say no more!

Chef Max was so entertaining and engaging, and his sleight of hand with cards and rubber bands was very impressive! We had fun taking turns assisting with his performance and appreciated his efforts to interact with his guests. We even got to keep one of his cards!

For those planning to visit, I hope you get a chance to not only enjoy the food but also meet Chef Max and see his magic!

Diner Review №32

If I could leave 6 stars I would. Shout out to Sarah for the great service. Outdoor patio is clean and quiet. I got the crispy chicken basil which was phenomenal. And if that wasn't enough, the chef himself came out to serve the dessert, AND THEN STARTED DOING MAGIC. WHAT THE EFF! Chef Max, you made our whole week!

Diner Review №33

We were immediately greeted with a friendly smile. The food came out fast and was DELICIOUS! We got the panang curry and drunken noodles and we are quite picky on these dishes and both exceeded our expectations! Max the chef came and introduced himself which was such a nice touch! Later he did a few magic tricks for us at the table and we were so thrilled. A great experience. We will be back!

Diner Review №34

Got chicken panang and pineapple curries. Both were great. Quick service and it’s close by to where I live. Medium was slightly spicy, but too overly spicy.

Diner Review №35

I will never come here again. I ordered on their website for a pickup order. Then I arrived, took my order, and went back home. I opened up the package, and what I ordered was not inside. It was supposed to come with a vegetable spring roll, instead, it came with cream cheese wontons, which I despise. I called the restaurant, and they first told me I was wrong and itt doesn't come with that. So I told them they may want to log on to their own website to see what it says it comes with. Once they did that, they said oh sorry I'm going to take it down now it was wrong. I said no problem, just refund me what an egg roll cost. They refuse to do that. I explained to them that if they're going to have me pay for something in advance and write down the words of what I am paying for, I'm going to expect to receive exactly what those words say. If the restaurant makes a mistake, they should own up to the mistake. The fact that this place admitted they were wrong and would not do anything to make up for it shows horrific customer service. I cannot spend money at a place like that which lacks so much integrity. I'll change my review if they ever decide to financially reimburse me for their mistake.

Update from later that same day: after reading my review, they chose to refund me.

Thai Tea 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Diner Review №37

This place is amazing . The food is so delicious with so much flavor. It will knock your soxs off. Highly recommended.

Diner Review №38

Really wanted to like this place. It is absolutely the worst Yhai I have ever had. It’s not real Yhai, it a Chinese fusion, but even if that was ok the food is terrible. I came home with two appetizers and two entrees and could not take more than a bite of each. If you want real Thai, try Silk Thai on Beach and Adams.

Diner Review №39

Great little thai food place.

Diner Review №40

I wanted to try out this place as I kept passing by and have been intrigued. I ordered something simple, pad Thai spicy. I felt the noodles all stuck together and was lacking sauce. It wasn't very spicy and pretty bland. I expected much better.

Diner Review №41

The food here is amazing. Some of the best time I've had in the states. The service is super good. They are very helpful and want to ensure that you have an enjoyable experience. The atmosphere is pretty basic, it is street food shop after all. They definitely are impressing you with their food not with the scenery. Try this place and help keep them open for as long as possible we need more places like this.

Ordered Chicken yellow curry and Pineapple rice. Both were ready fast and tasted really good. Place has a few tables inside and more outside. Although it is more takeout focused.

Diner Review №45

My wife and I picked up some food to go and it was amazing! The people working were so nice and friendly and the Pad Thai and Tom Ka soup was so good. She got a Thai iced tea too and I didn’t want to give it back! Definitely recommend to give them a try!!!

Diner Review №55

My husband liked his Pad Kee Mow. The place has nice interior decoration - the 60s vibe. It even has patios for outdoor dinning.

Diner Review №56

Friendly service. Delicious pad thai. Great outdoor ambiance for an afternoon snack / lunch and they just added boba drinks!

Diner Review №57

Unfortunately I was the only person in line but that didn’t stop them from giving me the best service and the tastiest drunken noodle in HB this place rocks

Diner Review №58

A cozy little joint with very welcoming staff and excellent food.

Diner Review №59

The restaurant is very small, had a takeout window and it was a bit warm inside. The lady that worked in front was very nice and attentive. There were four of us and I ordered iced tea and we ordered crispy pork pineapple fried rice as an appetizer to share between the four of us. I wish places would offer crispy pork just as a side and not as an entree. Sometimes you want just enough to share amongst the table but not eat as your entree. My friends had the iced Thai tea with green tea. I ordered the yellow curry, hubby had Tom Yum, a friend had Tom Kha with chicken and the other one had Pad See Eww with tofu. The Tom Yum soup with chicken was sweet tasting. My hubby did not really care for it. I tasted it and it almost tasted like the sauce from a can of Spaghettios. We eat this dish so the time at other places and here it was just not right. My friend loved his Tom Kha soup with chicken as the coconut killed the Spaghettios tasting sauce. The crispy pork pineapple fried rice had a great kick to it but not enough crispy pork on it. The flavor was good though. They did not offer hot pots for the soups only bowls. The yellow curry was flavorful and came with white rice. My only complaint was the portion size being smaller than other places we go and was priced a little more. Pad See Ewe was very good and my friend enjoyed it. The Thai iced tea green tea smoothies were good and a decent size, but over $15 for 2. My iced tea tasted good but I was never offered a refill and it was served in a to-go plastic cup. Our total before tip was $91. Way too pricey and we didn't even have leftovers, except for the soup my husband didn't like. I know this place is newer, but not sure if we will return. Too pricey, small portions, lack of air conditioning, and my hubby's soup not great flavor.

Diner Review №60

So delicious. The pad see ew has perfect texture and flavor, the drinks (Thai Coffee, Lemonade with Jelly, Strawberry Lemonade, Mango Tea with Jelly) were amazing, and the Crispy Salted Pork was so crunch and melt-in-your-mouth. Very friendly staff.

Diner Review №62

Crying tiger was perfect.

Diner Review №63

I paid $18 for one order of pad Thai with extra chicken. I asked for spicy, and they just dumped paprika pizza spices on it and ruined my pad Thai. I paid almost $20 and it did not taste good at all.

Diner Review №64

Cutest place - best staff and YUMMY!

Diner Review №65

Place is awesome. Great prices and the food is good. Definitely no complaints

Diner Review №66

I come here every Thursday with my dad to get chicken satay, sticky rice, and Thai ice tea. Also the place is FANTASTIC!

Diner Review №67

Cute place. Can order at an outdoor window or there is table service. Yummy food. Reasonable prices. They do catering also. Had their lunch special. Nice people. Ample parking. Good signage. Look forward to returning.

Diner Review №68

Best In The WEST

Diner Review №69

The decor is cute clean and modern. The tasty rice wraps full of greens carrots, cucumber and herbs are available here, and I actually loved the fried rice with vegetables. They use these little metal cups from Thailand with ice for my soda. Healthy and delicious authentic food here.

Diner Review №70

The green milk tea is the best boba I’ve gotten ohh my gaaahhhh

Diner Review №71

We ordered crab fried rice, shrimp pad Thai, crying tiger and chicken satay tonight. They all were amazing especially crab fried rice. My 3-years-old daughter who is a picky eater loved crab fried rice!!! Now It’s our new go-to for crab fried rice.

Diner Review №72

Best ever. Tell your friends

Diner Review №73

Accurate order, egg rolls were awesome, but the Pad Thai was terrible. It tasted and smelled like old seafood. Very fishy to the point I couldn’t eat it. The orange chicken was only ok and the portions were weak. They refunded us which was cool so I changed my review from 2 to 4 stars.

Diner Review №74

Obsessed with the pad Thai. Love my extra sauce. I wanna come back again!

Diner Review №75

We tried Say Yum for the first time today and was very impressed with everything we had ordered. All 3 dishes had lots of flavor. Papaya salad was very fresh delicious and with medium spice it was spicy. Pad Thai with shrimp had a lot of flavor and plenty of shrimp (medium spice) and the Krapow Fried Rice with chicken had an authentic taste. And everything was reasonably priced. We have a regular place that we have been going to for 14 years, but we will definitely be coming back!!

Diner Review №76

Authentic Thai street food. thumbs up for all the dishes I ordered. I’m Thai and the taste is really fulfill my Thai street food taste craving.

Apart from the taste, the service is great all staffs are super friendly😊 definitely come back again for sure.

Diner Review №78

Friendly, fresh and excellent food.

Diner Review №79

WOW!! This place is new to our neighborhood, and I couldn't be happier to have them so close. We placed an order for pick up on a weeknight coming home from work. We ordered pad see ew, shrimp rolled in wonton sheets(I think), ahi tuna spring rolls, orange chicken, and thai iced tea. EVERYTHING was delicious. The food, drink, and I loved the spring roll's sauce. It was tart, spicy, citrusy, and perfect. I plan to order one or two different items on the menu every visit.

Diner Review №80

Yummy food and quick service. Will order from there again

Diner Review №81

Good, fresh, tasty food. I've tried at least one item from every section of the menu except salads. Friendly service, always accurate orders, ample parking. Best to order online or by phone in advance if picking up. There is a small indoor dining area and some outdoor seating too. If it's not busy, your order is ready in about 10 minutes. If it''s a busy time, maybe 20 minutes

Diner Review №82

Diner Review №83

I tried the Shrimp 🦐 Pad Thai and a side of white rice 🍚 . It was delicious. I think there were at least 7 large shrimp 🦐 in the Pad Thai

My meal with drink came out to just under $21 after sales tax

Diner Review №84

Diner Review №85

The food is fantastic
We had such great time eating in the outdoor area.

We will return often.

Diner Review №86

Had the Tom Yum soup and the yellow curry. Both were excellent!

Diner Review №87

good thai food but a little overpriced compared to other thai places.

Diner Review №88

Amazing food!!!! We ordered the 3 Crispy Pork Pad Thai and it was so delicious. We will definitely be coming back.

Diner Review №89

Nice new small place with a cute patio seating area. Flavors are on point, nice service. Quick and easy.

Diner Review №90

Ordered the Pad Kee Mow. The flavor was there but @ $16.95. I had higher expectations. Check out the picture and see for yourself. All vegetables and no meat! I'll give them a second chance and order something different next time. I'll change my review if I have a better experience.

Diner Review №91

We live down the street from this place. They just opened up so we had to go and give it a try. We did take out. Extremely happy with our dinner. Looking forward to going back! Good flavored Curry and nice portions! Definitely give this place a try.

Diner Review №92

New Thai food on the block! Wonderful flavor. Nice seating. Give this place a shot 🙌🏻
