Is the food good? No… IT’S GREAT!!! Came here on Saturday evening with friends for dinner and I could not wait to go back!! So much so I picked up lunch just 3 days later!! The pineapple fried rice is delicious! The soups are all absolutely incredible!!! Their curry is THE BOMB!!! Pad Thai is packed with flavor in every bite! Larb was perfection! And an unexpected surprise was the orange chicken- I didn’t have high expectations for it, but it turned out to be absolute heaven!! The restaurant isn’t as busy and I thought it would be, but the food is next level fantastic!! I am eating my soup now and trying to figure out when I can go back for another! Yum 😋
Also extremely accommodating to dietary restrictions for some in our party of 5 even during a busy dinner shift. (Very appreciated!)
⭐️ The pad see ew was so good here I had to come right this review quickly. The fried calamari was so tasty a bit of a chew but really good, I recommend that. We ate in the restaurant, it was full when we got there so it did take a while to get our food but they were constantly busy, I don’t blame them. Green Thai tea is great here.
I can’t wait to try more from here.⭐️
Came here several times,
Food is always done well , fresh
And unique exotic flavors.
Our highlight is the desert mango sticky rice
Even when mango is out of season and green, it still tastes awesome. The 2 together are bomb
Nayada Thai is an bad dining experience. While the ambiance is pleasant, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. How could you serve bad spring rolls!!!!!! The dishes lacked flavor and authenticity. The service was ok, though a bit slow at times. Prices were not reasonable, but overall, I've had better Thai food elsewhere. It might be worth a visit if you're in the area, but there are better options available. #NayadaThai #AverageExperience
Mediocre experience; nice aesthetic, lacking service, 4/10 food quality, $20+/person — won’t be going back.
Nestled in a conveniently located small strip-center, Nayada Thai started off with a modern/ clean aesthetic upon entrance to the restaurant. We were greeted and seated promptly by friendly staff. Ordered 2 appetizers: Thai Spring Rolls and Crisp Thai Calamari. Water and drinks were promptly served while waiting. About 10 minutes later the appetizers came out hot, as expected, but the deep-fry oil was clearly overly used and needed changing due to the darkness of the wraps and breading having a dark brown color and overly crispy. The spring rolls are the conventional foodservice supply spring rolls at many restaurants and the calamari are the breaded tube variety. The calamari was served in a parchment-lined metal basket and without the chilis and onion that frequently accompany them from other Asian-style restaurants. In short, the spring rolls were sub-par and calamari was decent, but nothing memorable.
We finished our appetizers and waited for the waiter to return, but they were busy bussing tables and putting dishes away. Also, our waters and my soda were consumed and they didn’t perceive it to offer refills until another 10 minutes passed, at which time we also ordered our entree.
Since we missed the timing for the Lunch menu, my wife and I split a dinner entree-sized order of Pad See Ew w/ chicken. We explained to the waiter that we were splitting the portion and requested if they would split it in two for us and include the egg, which comes in the dish, for my portion, while leaving it out of my wife’s portion since she is allergic to egg. The waiter checked with the chef who refused the request, so we ordered without egg entirely. Not a big deal, but would have been nice if they could have accommodated the request. Upon receiving the entree approximately 10 minutes after ordering, the presentation was good but the flavors were muted and the Chinese Broccoli in the dish were undercooked and were practically uncooked rather than al-dente. I tried to get the waiter’s attention to request a spice tray, but they didn’t return until we were done eating to present the check. Keep in mind that they only had 3-4 patrons to serve with the majority of the restaurant empty during our visit. I can only assume the waits for service during a rush would magnify the service experience.
We have always enjoyed our stops at Nayada. Although we miss dining inside, the carry out is outstanding and the service is always friendly. They are busy and sometimes you have to call a few times to get through, but it is worth it if you are craving good Thai food. I don’t have a picture of the Tom Kha Kai soup, but it is truly one of the best versions of this soup that I have had. Definitely a must when you order here.

Can’t even help serving when we entered by 9.23 pm .

I've probably reviewed this place before. Their food is delicious. The staff is always nice and helpful. The only thing that sticks from previous experiences is the wine I tried is horrible and that's from 2 separate occasions.
The experience was horrible, felt like that we were rushed and overcharged on my bill with the gratuity.
Don’t think I will be visiting this establishment and spending my hard earned money.
Felt more like a fast food joint like McDonalds.
Amazing little Thai restaurant across the street from the Towne center. The food, and the service is amazing. Best golden bags I have ever had
I got addicted to the music here. It was so good that I added 3 new songs to my Spotify playlist.
Good food, great service, We go there often and we always enjoy our visit.
We love this local thai spot. Great food every time. Their seafood and tofu options are plentiful.

The pad thai had really good flavor. Calamari was too oily for my liking. Kid-friendly place, enjoyed the food and experience and I would come back.
Consistently delicious food made with good-quality ingredients. I drive from Huntington to come here because although I have many Thai restaurants near my house, I think the food is better here!
I have eaten here in the past and it's always yum! The owner is super nice and friendly and makes amazing food. I was in a rush and so it didn't quite sink in that he gave me an extra dish with my order thanks!!! If your looking for curry this is the spot!
Lo recomiendo.Primera vez que doy 5 estrellas en todo.
Really nice restaurant , delicious food , good service and fast very recommended place to try a good Thai plate...
This was my first time dining here. The food is phenomenal & so authentic. Its not so close to where I live. But its worth driving the distance!
I definitely recommend this place. I would definitely return.
Fav dish is the crying tiger. Extra fish sauce. Love this place
This is our go to Thai restaurant. Not only is the food delicious, the servers are attentive, patient, and efficient.
The best crying tiger 🐅
Had take out, spicy tofu vegetable, a chicken pad prik, spicy basil rice, pad Thai noodles, everything was very good. Good service, polite, food done when they said it would be, not overly pricey for the amount of food you get. Highly recommended
Good authentic Thai food good customer service experience and environment to eat in casual dining and friendly atmosphere
C- at best
Our 2nd time here. Everything was so good. Generous portions, friendly and very attentive service. Thank you!!
One of the best Thai restaurants I've ever eaten at. So far, I've only had a few things on the menu and I've been incredibly satisfied with price, portions, and flavor. I'll be coming back frequently.
Curry was sooo good. Can't wait to try curry with tofu. We also had fried tofu was excellent. Dipping sauce was the best I have ever had.
Loved it!! Food was get fresh and tasted amazing. I will definitely recommend this place. :) great service as well
The food is fine. Not great, but good. Mongolian beef was disappointing. But especially don't like their business practices. Advertise free pad thai with $40+ order for takeout. Called in order and was told that was only for online orders. Then tried to order online and no free pad thai available. So ordered food, since we had company and said I would. Spent $80 and had to pay for the Pad Thai. This place left a bad taste in my mouth.
Love this place,!! Absolutely will return
This place is delish and the staff is so friendly
My first time here. Come in for lunch. They have a variety of lunch specials. I tried the Chicken w/Cashews, which came with a choice of soup or salad. I also ordered the soft drink plus 2 chicken dumplings for an extra $3. I tried the TomYum soup which was very good! The waitresses were really nice and made sure that everything was to my liking. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated.
Had a great experience. I had the pineapple curry and the crispy calamari.
The food was so good and the service was awesome.
Excelente sabor de los alimentos .
Delicious I definitely recommend this place all good
Me encantó una pasta con camarones qué tenía verduras, un pitillo duce!

The food and service were excellent!
Excellent food 😋
This was a well kept restaurant with good meals and decent prices. I had the coconut soup and it was very tasty, it came with a lot of mushrooms and some chicken. My mom tried the rad na and she really enjoyed it. My brother and sister in law got the yellow curry which was good but not too strong on the curry flavor (personally I would have wanted more flavor). They also had some rice and pad Thai. Everything was good. We finished the night with some sticky rice and mango which came out perfect. Our server was very gentle and helped make suggestions for us. He recommended the steak and coconut soup.
Very good curry selection
Nice flavor
Best Thai food in the area. We go there when we want something special. Wonderful Curries. Good service. Friendly people. I recommend highly
Great hospitality Seki was so respectful and helpful. it was our fist visit and he gave us good time and advice on different menu items with acknowledging if we had any allergies to a ingredients
Ilysm😍😍😍
Exceptionally great food, service, and a clean restaurant. I drove by 4 yrs. ago and decided to go in and try it; and now am a regular patron. I highly encourage you to try at least once!
food was amazingly delicious and the staff is so nice! definitely recommend
Favorite thai place in long Beach. Very consistent quality and great lunch specials
I would actually rate this 4.5. I love it here. Their Tom Kha and Pad See Ew are the best around my area.
Get the Tom Kha, the large pot.
My goto Thai restaurant for multiple reasons.... Staff is amazing, the atmosphere is casual, the dishes are flavorful, well portioned, and prices are reasonable
Food, portions and price and very reasonable. I usually order to go with 4-5 items I would arrive at the suggested time but the food is rarely ready and it will be another 15-20 min wait. So budget an hour turn around time when you place a to go order.
Très bon accueil, bon rapport qualité prix,
It was amazing! Service was great.
The salmon dish was amazing , loved the garlic chilli taste , definitely going back
We've been coming here for over 6 years and food has always been amazing.
We've tried other Thai restaurants but their flavor doesn't even compare.
Staff is very friendly and they always sit us at "our" table and they already know what we want to order.
This place feels like home.
Very nice place and the food is fresh and oh so good.
I never had Thai food b4 this place. I’m definitely coming back. Try it out you won’t be disappointed. I recommend the tantalizing catfish or if you just want something you know you’ll eat with out all the extras, try the orange chicken. They do have vegetarian options as well.
Was my 1st time eating thai. It was fabulous.
Delicious! My friend turned me on to Nayada and I've had it 3 times since! I don't eat pork and they kindly accommodated by using ground chicken instead(please keep in mind this isn't always possible.) Sue,the owner is a delight. Fantastic service.
Consistently great thai food and friendly staff. Our go-to for comforting curries. Highly recommend!
We order medium spice and get super spicy. I'm just disappointed in accountability. For the price you should expect accurate consistency. I have a high tolerance of spice and this place is a go-to for our family so i'm not questioning quality of food.
Great service, very clean, food was fantastic as always, coming back real soon🙏🙏💯
Get in early on weekends, they provide upscale thai cousine with a steadfast menu they stick to. Will customize dishes to your needs. Great for leftovers to take home!
Muy buena la comida
Loved the food 😋
My favorite Thai restaurant! They make the best yellow curry and the staff are always friendly. Would highly recommend.
Food took to long to get and they guy kept getting my order wrong
Fresh and delicious, I'm glad we came
Food was delicious, felt bad because it seemed there were not enough servers/ waitresses.
The fried foods here are delicious. papaya salad here is delicious and that is is coming from a person who doesn't like papaya.
The only thing I didn't like was the Tom yum.
This is our family's go-to place for birthdays, graduations, Mothers Day- you name it. The quality of the food here wipes out any potential competition around! The service is great, too!
I usually get this amazing salad but yesterday that I order it was a lot of líquid underneat and just garlic flavor not a lot of lettuce and only two shrimps
Came out to get some noodles for my daughter's, it was a to go order so review will be short and brief.
Parking - Complex looks to have limited parking spots and can see it being a issue on peak hours.
Restaurant - Place looks to be a good size and looks clean.
Service - when ordering and at pickup it was quick and easy.
Food - I tasted it and it was avg with portion and flavor.
Overall decent Place.
The food at Nayada is always fresh and delicious. We've been coming here for years and Sue and Troy (the owners) and the team are always friendly and attentive. Our favorites are the Calamari appetizer, the Pad See Ew, Yellow Curry, Combination Fried Rice, Ginger and Mushrooms, Crispy Pork, and ending with the FBI. We were just remarking that every dish we have ever tried has tasted fresh. We easily come here once a month and have never been disappointed. The food is always consistent- consistently great. You won't be disappointed.
I enjoyed it.
I've been looking for a good Thai spot near my new home. It's hard to find a good Thai. Success!! Nayada was perfect.
The food is good what ever you get we got angel wings chow man combination Chinese broccoli and path AI noodles
Excellent everytime
Best Thai food. They have the best food and service.I love all their food selection especially their angel wings
Very clean fast service food was very good
Food is delicious and probably the best Thai restaurant I have ever tried so far and great customer service
Nice Curry selection and the spicy noodles with beef are a solid choice.
Really enjoyed the pineapple fried rice, and my wife enjoyed the ribs. We usually stick to yellow curry at most Thai places, but we decided to branch out and try something new here. Glad we did. Also, the golden bags were great appetizers!
Delivery order took almost 2 hours. Food arrived cold!! & when I made management aware of my concerns.. I was told "that's unfortunate".
Also, there was hair in my curry.
Ok place for Thai food , slow service
The food is very good, and they have the dishes we yearn for
The cleanest place. The food is fresh and flavorful. Worth the wait if they are running late with your to go food. I like how they are real when they say “we need until this time “ to be ready. I respect it .the salad with shrimp is refreshing and filling. Phat Thai - one of the better recipes. Very polite staff .
Loved the food I purchased. Definitely going to come back and try the other food items.
First time eating here. Good food, good prices.
Fast and friendly service. Good prices for very good food
Incredible food, best Thai food in the area. Good prices and great service and incredibly fresh.
I took my whole family to my favorite Thai restaurant and it did not disappoint. My favorite Thai dish is the chicken curry absolutely the best. My grandson ordered the Fried rice and ate the whole thing up. I would recommend this Thai restaurant to anybody that loves Thai food.
Many good tasting dishes, especially the noodles and curries.
Constantly crave their delicious food!!
Great Thai restaurant. The owners and employees are actually Thai. Today we had crab/cream cheese wontons for an appetizer. For my entree, I had Som Tam with sticky rice on the side. Lika had Rad Na with Tofu. Both dishes were excellent. We will be back to this restaurant, Nayada Thai.
Definitely the best Thai food I’ve ever had, and I went to Thailand for my honeymoon.
The beef soup was very good. The fried trout was also great. Not oily. The so called jumbo shrimp were not that big. It was more like 30-40 as opposed to 9-15.
Good food. Service was a bit slow and our spring rolls appetizer was served last.
I am a person that likes to support non chain resturants. This was a very bad experience for me. We got to the resturant not busy. The waitress took 15 minutes before we where attended. We put in our order. Another couple came in 10 minutes before us, and they got there food before us. We waited almost 45 minutes and our food wasn't there. We asked and they went to go check. They took 10 minutes to check. Which was suspicious 🤔
They came back and said it would be another 10 minutes. We decided that would be enough. We decided to leave. There was no apology or nothing to try and keep our business. I cant give a good few review. But the service was not good. I'd give it zerostars.
Good prices, good food, and even better service.
Crazy good hole in the wall. It does not seem like much from the outside, but this hands down is the best Thai food spot I've ever been to.
Pricing is reasonable given the quality of the food.
The sauce has spices in it so it's taste has a spicy feeling without any kick. Weird but yummy sensation. Like you expect the spiciness to hit but it never does.
Tasty dishes. Personal service. Food is consistently good!
Update (5.28.2021): Dine in open.
Love this place food is on point!!!
Love this place ...
Awsome food and service
Loved the food here!
The staff was so nice and the curry is so good! I highly recommend this place.
My friend and I enjoy eating here. The folks at this restaurant are friendly and the food delicious !! Really enjoyable dining experience !
Excellent basil fried rice and their Thai ice tea was delicious
Best Thai food ever! Clean and friendly!
Reasonable prices.
Always searching for great authentic Thai food, this I s definitely a great place
The food is good but they have bad customer service skill. I came and checked in with a employee . He told me that my order is almost ready ,but he completely ignored me after that for 30m . He did not even bother to go ask or told me when it gonna be ready . After 40m another employee finally asked me what order that I'm waiting for then gave it to me .
This place doesn't know how to cook Thai food at all. I recommend not wasting you time or money here.
Very tasty Thai food
Always good food...
☆ This is my favorite Thai place in all of SoCal! ☆
Excellent food!
The green curry is delicious. Just the right consistency and spice. Noodles dishes are also wonderful.
Amazing customer service and the food is excellent..
We have always enjoyed our stops at Nayada. Although we miss dining inside, the carry out is outstanding and the service is always friendly. They are busy and sometimes you have to call a few times to get through, but it is worth it if you are craving good Thai food. I don’t have a picture of the Tom Kha Kai soup, but it is truly one of the best versions of this soup that I have had. Definitely a must when you order here.
