This place is awesome!!! The setting is clean and welcoming, the food is phenomenal, and the service is great. Love how convenient it was to sit down and enjoy a solo bowl of curry on a warm summer Sunday. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Bangkok Taste - Masamun curry - Thai Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I have been coming to Bangkok taste since they opened. Their food is always consistent and the quality of their meats are 5*.. I've pretty much tried EVERYTHING on the menu. My favorites are the crying tiger steak, the tom ka soup, pad thai, crab fried rice and cashew nut chicken. Honestly...!!?? It's ALLLLL good. The prices of quality meat has gone up as pretty much everything else and their prices have always remained about the same. I believe there are tons of ingredients in thai food and that's why we love it right? The FLAVORS..!! I went to Thailand a few years back thinking it was going to be different for some reason and it tastes pretty much exactly the same .!! I was pleasantly surprised that the thai restaurant I have been frequenting for many years is authentic as they come. They mango sticky rice( when in season) is epic.!! Their thai tea and thai coffee is soooo good, sometimes a lil sweet but I don't mind adding a lil water , it's like another drink .! They have young coconut still in the shell that's comes out refrigerated and refreshing. There are thai restaurants popping out everywhere you go these days and each time I try them I'm disappointed.. If you want some great authentic thai food try Bangkok taste out. It's a family restaurant and they all cook together !! read more

Bangkok Taste - Crying tiger beef medium rare !!! - Thai Near Me - Santa Ana, California

See all

Came here for lunch and ordered the green curry with beef. Unfortunately, it was pretty disappointing. When the dish arrived, the coconut milk hadn't been mixed into the curry, so I had to stir it myself. The curry base was also overly sweet and didn't have much depth of flavor. The beef seemed like stew beef and was quite chewy. Also something to be aware of: the restaurant charges $3 for a small portion of plain white rice, which felt excessive for what you get. The restaurant is located in a very quiet plaza, so I'm not sure what the owner's strategy is with charging extra for rice while serving food that doesn't really stand out. With the price and quality, I'm not sure I'd come back. read more

One of the best yellow curries i've had, and I've eaten a lot of em in my life! The quantity is good for 2 people. I forgot to take a photo of it but it was super yummy. It's honestly a hidden gem. It's in a little plaza with seating inside. Their service was super quick and they were super sweet. We had the papaya salad which was spicy for me but it was a spice that was enjoyable because it did not mask out the rest of the flavors. The mango sticky rice was yummy. Not overly sweet and the rice came in warm. We asked for extra coconut sauce and they did the job well. I'm coming back again real soon! read more

Bangkok Taste - pad prik pow lunch set, papaya salad, cucumber side - Thai Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Bangkok Taste has become our neighborhood go-to and genuinely the best Thai food we've had in Orange County -- and we've tried so many places. It has such family-owned, mom-and-pop feel that makes you want to keep coming back. The food is incredibly authentic, packed with flavor, and they do nottt okay with their spice, in the best way (not watered down at all). Every dish tastes homemade and consistent every single time. You can tell there's so much care put into the food and the experience. So grateful this place is so close to us because we crave it constantly now. Easily one of those hidden gems you almost don't want to tell people about because it's that good. read more

My friend and I enjoyed our experience here, I ordered pad kee mao , very delicious , our server was Tony, he was respectful, fast and on top of everything, I would say the Ambiance is good for lunch and dinner, I know that's we will definitely come back read more

Haven't been in 7 years. I remember they loved to upcharge was the reason. They added a large soup for no reason. I felt he had butterflies when he asked if I want rice with my curry. I said yes. I said a small, tiny one. He said okay. He gave me a large for six bucks. Soo. One small Tom kha One small rice. One large curry with protein. On large chicken and rice dish. 59.00!!!! Again they added extra soup And upcharge rice to large without asking. If the food is bomb I'll raise a star. (I just raised a star) food was good and family ate it. My son had the small soup and it was a bit spicy and I have nor was asked a spicy level so be specific) Maybe best to order online to get your order right. Check the receipt twice. Cmon America. Give quality service please. read more

Bangkok Taste - This place is great! They gave out free teapots for Valentine's Day - Thai Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Our favorite new Thai spot now that we moved to a nearby neighborhood. Service was friendly with a large party & all the entrees were delicious. FYI they're closed for lunch on Saturdays. Lots of parking available and limited seating inside so call ahead if you have a big party to check if they can accommodate you! read more

This has been our neighborhood go-to since 2012. Khao man gai is almost always great (i think they use different cooks so sometimes it's too savory and not spicy enough) Khao Soi is really good here Yellow or green curry always solid. I look forward to the leftovers the next day. Don't forget to order a side rice Mango sticky rice is always a great treat read more

Tried this place for the first time a couple weeks ago... I think it is definitely very pricey so that was a bummer lol. The food was decent, (we called ahead and did a pick up). The Pad See Ew was pretty good not too bad, the appetizers (eggrolls and wontons) we got were not like i have tried before at other Thai restaurants but they were good, the egg rolls were HUGE! The only bummer was when i asked for a few chili sauces he just gave me 1 huge container, which was not helpful since we needed multiple for multiple people... read more

Worst customer services. I placed a phone order. I asked the cashier to repeat the order a couple of times, due to me not being able to understand her accent. When I arrived, I noticed my order was incorrect. I had ordered the Pad See EW beef. It was made with shrimp. I kindly pointed out the order was input and made incorrectly. The cashier became very defensive and hostile. She pointed out she repeated the order twice. I did not want to bring up the fact that her accent was very hard to understand. There was no effort in trying to correct the order by the cashier or the man from the back who walked out to check on what is going on. The order was paid for and I took as is. This is the second time I've had an incident like this here. Both times the cashiers have been very rude. It goes without saying, I will not be returning. read more

This should've been my first review. I've been coming here for 20+ years and even though I moved to a different city, I don't mind driving an extra 20 mins. I've tried other closer Thai places and always come back here. The food is very flavorful, authentic, and delicious. Great customer service. The servers already know what my son likes (chicken Pad Thai). My favorite dishes are: Pad See Ew, Chicken Pad Thai, Tom Kha Gai soup (coconut soup), Yum Yai Salad, & a side of white rice with chili spices on the side. I also love to order the following from their lunch menu- panang curry chicken & sauteed veggies with tofu (comes with yummy soup, wontons & rice) Tip: Add rice to the soup, it's delicious!!

Our favorite Thai restaurant! We have been bringing food home from here for at least 20 years and it never disappoints.

Authentic Thai place that has reasonable prices and great portion size. Most Thai places recently are very skimpy with their portions and it's sad to see. Must try if you haven't. read more

The Khao Soi is WONDERFUL!!! Be sure to push the dry noodles down into the broth so they get soft and add all the toppings they bring right into the broth. Give it time for the noodles to soften and then ENJOY!!! It's an Indian style curry flavor. read more

This is an unassuming little spot in the Big Lots strip mall, but wow do they really pack in the flavor! Bangkok Taste has been a favorite of my family's for at least 20 years -- I always wanted their duck curry for my birthday meal when I was a kid -- and we've never once had a bad experience in the hundreds of times we've eaten in/gotten takeout. The staff is across the board very friendly too :) read more

This was my first time trying and visiting this restaurant, looked clean small and cute. The food was delicious and I can't wait to try something new! The customer service could be better, the server was very straight forward we had question he didn't seem to want to answer we weren't t even don't speaking and he would walk away and leave us speaking. We will be giving a try once again because the food was delicious! read more

This place was an outstanding find. They are located in a neighborhood shopping center on Grand just before the 22 and I was so impressed with the quality of the food we ordered. We ordered green curry chicken and pad see ew, and everything was great. The food was ready on time and was especially prepared. What else can you ask for! read more

Literally the best Thai food in OC. It's a small hole in the wall place with great & quick service! The owners are Thai and typically close to about a month each year to go visit their family in Thailand. How much more authentic could you get?! read more

Every dish freshly cooked to order from this friendly and authentic Thai family restaurant. Family run business for many decades right off of Grand Ave on the borderline of Orange and Santa Ana. Been coming here for several years and each time we try to get a dish we've never are before and each time every dish never disappoints. Their fried wontons are so delicious! You get about 10-12 made with freshly seasoned chicken. Their pork fried rice is a must side staple and can be a meal within itself. The stuffed omelet is another one of our favorites (takes a little longer than the other dishes to make but well worth the wait) Chinese broccoli with your choice of protein is soooo good-i love it with the roasted pork. The staff is very friendly, whether you're being hosted by Honey, Tony or sometimes the Owner, Chris will assist with the staff. Everyone is a delight to chat with. Tables and booths available for seating and a nice dining atmosphere for all to enjoy! Say hello to the mom and Andy who are always cooking up all the delicious dishes you order and sometimes Chris, too :) Definitely one of our favorite places to dine out for Thai because the food and sauces are so fresh and have that extra taste of home cooking - yummmm!!! Oh the yellow curry with pork is very good! I could eat the sauce just by itself! (: read more

Rude and condescending service. I didn't want to eat here after 2nd red flag but stayed for my friend.... Red flag #1: My friend ordered Pad See Ew and the waitress "Han" acted like she was hearing a foreign language. Not helpful. Then condescendingly repeats the order with emphasis on Pad See Ew like "this is how you pronounce it" attitude. Red flag #2: my friend ordered the meat on the side because she wanted to share with me since she knows I'm vegan. She let Han, the waitress, know about my dietary restrictions; however, instead of being understanding and accommodating--Han made it a big deal, got defensive & refused to serve us this way. Saying "I don't recommend it" and "we cannot do that because the meat needs to be stirred with the other ingredients for flavor". My friend ended up ordering tofu instead but I was appalled with how unwilling to accommodate us she was. Red flag #3: Then Han went complaining to the cook about our request after we had already ordered tofu and the cook yelled "Yeah I can't do that. I have to stir everything in the wok." I get it people with dietary restrictions can make someone's job a bit more complicated; however, at least think of a middle ground and not have a "my way or the highway" attitude. She didn't even consider it as an option or ask the cook if he could cook the meat separately. She decided for us and for him technically. Red flag #4: She refused to continue to serve us. Chris took over and became our server by bringing us our food and continuing Han's communication with us. She told him I was going to leave a review and he replied while raising his voice saying, "I don't care." It's sad to see employees who don't love their job or care about the business owner or customers. Red flag #5: it was 2:22pm when Chris announced last call for orders we said just the check and a to go box. My friend was singing a song that the restaurant was playing and shortly after the music stopped. Wow we couldn't even enjoy listening to music either. The vibe I got was "Don't get too comfortable. It's time to close and you need to leave." Red flag #6: After paying, my friend thanked Chris for serving us even if Han didn't want to do it and he looked at her like "yeah whatever I didn't either." It's embarrassingly sad how unhappy they are at work. I'm such a nice, hospitable, understanding person. Not overreacting-- just the vibes were completely bad/off. Sorry if my expectations are those of a 5 star not 1 star. Pad See Ew was flavorless and it has nothing to do with it not having meat. I've ordered pad see ew with tofu and it tasted great. As well as ppl ordering meat on the side with no problem. Perhaps they should only hire people who are truly passionate about serving customers....instead of dictating how and what they order.

I have eating Thai food in many different cities and states but this was the first time I have gotten good sooo greasy my lips looked like I had lip gloss. Grossed me out.

The best thai place in the area in my opinion! The dishes are served in large portions unlike other places I've been to in the area and who ever is the cook at this spot. Bless your heart, the food is amazing! Best crying tiger I've ever had! read more

The Khao Soi is so good. We went to Thailand last year and it tastes just as good as the ones we had there.

One of my favorite Thai restaurants in Orange County! We ordered their Pad See Ew, Catfish Curry, and Green Curry. My favorite out of the three was the Catfish Curry. It was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The flavor was savory and spicy. The portion of the dishes are perfect for sharing. I will definitely be coming back to try their other dishes! read more

The food is great but when it comes to them respecting their open hours are horrible, it has happened at least 3 times where we go and they are not open, and we go based on their web page, really dissatisfied with that, as a business they need to go by their hours, and if I'm not mistaken they can fined for not opening when they are supposed too..I went today and drove pretty far for them to not be open when it say they are open at 4pm and we were there at 4:30pm read more

Found a hidden gem! We've been in the area for over ten years, I don't know why it took us so long to find this spot! It's located in a small shopping center off Grand just south of the 22 freeway. The service is friendly and the food is so flavorful! We got the chicken tom yum soup, the beef pad see ew and the combo fried rice. Everything was a 10/10. The interior is very small but clean. Glad we found our new Thai food spot. read more

Truly a hidden gem in OC! This is our go to Thai spot 90% of the time. Pad Thai - 10/10 we order this almost every time. The portion is great and the flavor is impeccable. Panang curry - 100/10 I didn't know I was a fan of Panang curry until this place. It's so good! We usually get the chicken but I just love the flavor of the curry. It doesn't come with rice but we love ordering this to go and making our own bougie rice. *chefs kiss Crying tiger - 9/10 this is a classic, and it's really good here too. The sauce is intense in flavor Orange chicken - 2/10 we ordered this out of the blue to try something new but won't be ordering it again. They make it with fresh oranges which is cool, but had too much batter. Panda Express orange chicken is superior in our book. read more

In OC for a family event and I was craving Thai since we haven't found any good places where we live currently. Bangkok Taste was close by and just the kind of hole in the wall restaurant I was looking for. Short story-the food was fantastic! We ordered Tom yum soup with chicken, Ka Pow with pork and the pineapple fried rice with chicken. All at their spiciest level. Tom yum: super tasty! Initially it was actually too spicy for me, but adding white rice really brought out all the flavors. Ka Pow: the right amount of spicy and tasty meat. Pineapple fried rice: the star of the show! This was so good, with the curry taste and sweet hints. Perfect level of spice. This is the dish that would bring me back. Service was on point. Portions were large and we had a lot of leftovers we sent home with our college kid to devour. Seriously great place. Check it out! read more

Hidden and underrated Thai spot located on the border of Orange and Santa Ana. This is my go to and the spot I always recommend to my friends. Ordered the pad Thai and the portions are great for the price! Had a lot of flavor and you can choose between chicken, beef, or shrimp. It's definitely one of their best dishes they have. Their Tom yum is a hit or miss but some days its one of the better ones. The shop itself is on the smaller side but it's very cozy and welcoming. The employees are also very polite and ensure that your water cup never goes empty! Great service. read more

Great Thai, great noodles. However be wary of the fried rice, it's not fried rice. It's freshly cooked rice tossed in a pan with soy sauce and a scrambled egg resting on top. Didn't seem like it was washed either, it was very clumpy and starchy. The price is ridiculous when you realize it's 5 steps and 3 ingredients short of actual fried rice. read more
