Small, quaint Thai restaurant. Because the restaurant is small, they have limited seating. I was able to get a table quickly because it was after the dinner rush hour. Service was quick, and friendly. They have a good selection of traditional Thai dishes. Prices are high, probably because of location. I ordered Penang Curry with chicken. I requested additional vegetables, and was accommodated with a small up charge. The price for the dish was 20,00 and with the upcharge came to 23.00 It was served on a plate as opposed to a bowl, which I'm used to at most Thai restaurants. It was nicely presented, and came with jasmine rice, however, I could tell right away, it didn't have enough curry sauce for my liking. I ended up asking for more sauce because there just wasn't enough. It was also on the thin side. One way they can improve the dish is by serving it in a nice size bowl, and giving more sauce. I also think the the sauce could be a tad thicker. Making these adjustments would make the dish much better. Their sauce is very good, though the dish needs double or more of the curry sauce than it currently comes with. I also ordered desert, an inexpensive pudding. 3.00 and it was delicious. With tax and tip, my bill was just over 34.00 Street or lot parking can be difficult during busy times.

Nice quiet place, good food, and relatively fast service.

Diner Review β„–4

Server was really nice! Thanks. The food.. soup portion - is good for one in our case. The house salad was ok but the dressing which tasted like a lime was really good. The dressing had a kick to it which was not over powering. I am really particular when it comes to peanut dressing but this spot has good peanut dressing/sauce that at least I am able to tolerate.

Went for appetizers and a glass of wine before attending a benefit event down the street at the Rivian Theatre. Very relaxing and accommodating!

Food was good especially the deserts.

Diner Review β„–8

Location is good. Food was marginal and presentation was nothing impressive. Lacks atmosphere and is small and crowded. I am a Thai junkie and there was nothing impressive about this restaurant.

Diner Review β„–9

Do yourself a favor and go here! The pineapple fried rice and pad thai are out of this world. We got them to go and ate it at the beach! Delicious!!

Diner Review β„–10

Definitely a hidden gem!. Tried their fiery bamboo hands down the best thai curry ever tried in LA.πŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ™ŒπŸ½
Even the mango sticky rice and spring rolls are a must try.

This place is at really good location by the beach and offers wide variety of dishes. They also have dedicated vegan items that they can make. Would definitely recommend trying this out.

The food and service was wonderful! I can't describe how good the food was. It's a very small location so be ready to wait if you go during rush hour....you will not be disappointed!

Diner Review β„–22

Sorry to say not authentic, not good, overall pretty blah excuse for a Thai restaurant that caters to clients unfamiliar with the high standards of real Thai cuisine.

Diner Review β„–23

The papaya salad was amazing. Yummmm! I got spice level 5 and it transported me back to Thailand. Also got yellow curry which was delicate and comforting. Thai basil fried rice was unique in flavor in the best of ways. I would eat here often if I lived here.

Diner Review β„–26

Our β€œGo-To” Thai place in Laguna Beach. We like the yellow and panang curry the best. And of course drunken noodles and pad thai are fantastic.

The staff are also super friendly and fast on their feet.

Excellent authentic Thai food with fantastic friendly service.

Diner Review β„–30

Small family run Thai restaurant that my family and I really enjoyed dining at. We made a last minute decision to dine there because of its close proximity to the Festival of Arts.

Finding parking was a bit of a challenge. We called ahead and made reservations. We arrived at the restaurant and were greeted by a friendly young woman who seated us right away.
The young man who was our waiter was so nice. He was very friendly and we learned a lot about the family and the restaurant. It felt like a neighborhood gem of a place.

The food was delicious and came out quickly, which was good since time was limited as we had a show to catch. Will definitely come back!

Best thai eggplant I've had in my life!

Diner Review β„–33

You need to be educated about ADA compliance. I walked in with my service animal, and family only to be met with someone who did not know the proper protocols regarding ADA. In addition I heard her ask if they should refuse us… I decided to refuse them. Good luck

Diner Review β„–40

Server was pretty rude from the second we walked in. This was our first time here on vacation and we planned on ordering takeout but saw the restaurant was pretty empty so decided to dine in. She told us to grab whatever seat, popped over a minute later and asked what we wanted to order. We hadn’t even received menus yet, so didn’t know, which annoyed her. She stated that most people who want to order takeout know what they want to order. Not sure if it’s cause we are also Asian, but feeling the Asian on Asian hate.

Diner Review β„–41

Always excellent. Been going here since the late '90's and have never had a bad experience!

Just got take out but the drunken noodles were the best I’ve had. Decent portion and got extra noodles with it. The medium spice was perfect. A little on the pricier end in my opinion but still great.

Diner Review β„–45

I love this place is definitely Lagunas hidden Gem! I love all their dishes! The Thai drink is so delicious a must have with all their dishes. Triangles are my families favorite for appetizers! Picking up for takeout it's fast and very efficient! Dinning is always a few minutes since seating is small but it's all worth the wait!

Diner Review β„–46

Good little Thai restaurant in Laguna Beach. Enjoyed the food especially the Pad Thai noodles and the curry.

Diner Review β„–47

I wasn't expecting such tasty fried rice before coming in. We ordered Thai basil fried rice and pavilion fried rice. Both are soooo good.

Diner Review β„–51

Ant say enough good about Thai Bros. We drive from North Orange County to come here. Totally worth it, even when gas is $5 a gallon.

Fire Eater is to die for. So are the pot stickers and mango with sticky rice.

Absolutely delicious. Recommend the Thai coconut soup and everything else here. Very affordable and delicious.

Diner Review β„–57

We have been coming here for the last 6 years and had great food every time. Food tasted like it was freshly prepared!
For the first time the food tasted pre-cooked , vegetables were not crisp & I hope this was a fluke ! We have come back here twice a month since my last review . I am happy to report that it was fluke and they have been perfect.
I specially love their hot & sour ( Tom Yum )
It is a must!!
We were there last night,
These guys are amazing! The presentation 10, freshness 10, flavor out of this world! In summary I love this place!

Diner Review β„–58

Hands down best Thai in OC. Love the pineapple rice and fiery bamboo. Excellent service as well.

Diner Review β„–62

Did they physically move from around the corner? Doesn't really matter. Food is still fresh and tasty. However it could be more 'Thai' peppery πŸ”₯ hot! Service is excellent. If the menu seems to rely too much on chicken as a protein, don't despair, they will easily accommodate any other choice of protein. They seemed to have a very lively take-away business on the Monday night we were there.

Diner Review β„–64

Excellent food. We ordered egg rolls and fried rice with shrimp and chicken. Enough for two and delicious. Most orders were to go.

Diner Review β„–65

They brought cold food out twice, on the 3rd time offered the dish for free, but tater they decided they took it away! They also totally forgot part of the order and didn't apologize or offer anything. We left hungry and had to go to another restaurant. Disappointing at best.

Diner Review β„–66

Best restaurant and Thai around! Literally our favorite spot, we love you guys!! Thai bros and their amazing staff are our favorite local food and we go at least once a week, never disappoints!

Diner Review β„–67

Great Thai food. Fast and friendly service.
Portion are good size most dishes can be shared with two people. Good selection if bears and sake, not so much for wine drinkers. Nice location downtown Laguna Beach.

Diner Review β„–68

The food was really good we enjoy every dish. The Tom ka soup was phenomenal, the dishes and the desert were outstanding.
The service was very good!
Great place for sure we will come back!

Best thai food around!

Diner Review β„–76

Unfortunately the pad thai ordered didn't have much flavor at all and I asked for three on the spiciness level. I love Thai food and don't have it off him so I have to say that although the scab was very friendly and the place was clean the dishes I had left much to be desired.

Solid food. Staff and owner is extra nice.

Diner Review β„–85

I have been ordering and eating at Thai brothers for 7+years, and the last 4 times the food has been marginal at best. The noodles on the Pad Thai are gummy, it's horrible. They won't do the Summer roles with shrimp anymore, and even when you pay for extra meat/fish, it's less than it used to be, sadly we will have to go somewhere else from now one. Once, ok, twice, maybe, but 4+ times, they are off the list

Good food at very fair prices, especially for the area. I typically get their red Thai seafood curry with a shrimp Tom Yum, both are excellent. If you have it delivered and want extra chili flakes/sauce, etc. Make sure you call the restaurant to confirm they place the extras with your order as they tend to not be added when ordered online. Cheers!

I have been eating at Thai Bros for over 20 years! The food is the BEST Thai food I have had in Orange and San Diego County. The Owner's are really nice people and make the dining experience absolutely wonderful. It's worth a trip from anywhere, simply excellent food! Jon P

Great little Thai restaurant in Leguna Beach. I had the Cashew chicken and requested a level 3 spiciness. It was very good and the prices are very reasonable. The service was good and we received the meals in a short amount of time. The restaurant was clean and had maybe 15 tables. There was no wait today when we went for lunch and they had a lunch menu with plenty of options.

This was our first visit today and we love this place. Small with great atmosphere and location. Super friendly staff. We shared three entrees, a yellow curry chicken dish, an eggplant dish, and our favorite of all...drunken noodles! We are three generations, 40, 60, and 90. We all agree this is a super place! We will definitely be back soon!

Cozy place, perfect Thai food.
Service is a bit shallow

Diner Review β„–155

My first five stars for any restaurant, I think. Super good and the owner is awesome! Nice atmosphere and decent prices especially considering the location.

Diner Review β„–156

Thai Brothers is a cozy restaurant close to Main Beach. The seating is limited, and they get busy, so plan ahead. The service was prompt and staff was both friendly and attentive. The food was good but could’ve been more flavorful. The Tom Kha soup had way too much fish sauce and was inedible for my taste. I would probably give the place another chance.

Excellent little hole in the wall Thai restaurant. Popular with the locals. Excellent authentic food for the most part except for curry. They serve curry on a plate with very little curry sauce. Where the curry? Maybe just call it curry stir-fry.

Ths food was pretty good. I got the ginger chicken which was delicious. My friend got the chicken curry and said her food was "good" but she has had better. The portion was a good size and the prices were a little above average. Out plates were about $14 each, but like I said the portion size was good.

I want to give it a 3 and a 1/2 star but they don't have it. The pad Thai is great. And all the curries are great. I like the spicy fried rice with tofu. However the tofu is not as good as the fake meat options that you can get at other similar restaurants in this area. ( see my reviews)

Twice in a month we arrived 40 minutes before closing and were told they would serve us only if we ate quickly and got out.at the 10-00 closing time .20 year residents in town and this is how we get treated. Went to Romeo Cucina on Broadway where Enzo opened his arms and said come on in! Thai brothers is a joke regardless of the food . The atmosphere in there sucks

Diner Review β„–196

Amazing food! I would highly recommend this.

Diner Review β„–197

Have to say excellent dishes, soups, And the mango sticky rice was so good. Prices very reasonable for Laguna.

Diner Review β„–198

When there's a line out the door and people are willing to wait about a half hour to dine in, you know the food and service is going to be top notch. I'd say the best Thai cuisine in town with the best personable owner around. This is my go to for take out as well. Everything I've tried so far, but make sure you order the summer rolls. You will thank me later!
