    Absolutely delicious! The basil pork is packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and incredibly aromatic. The crispy fried egg makes it even better. One of the best Thai meals I've had -- will definitely come back!

    Coconut soup, orange chicken big portions.

    Please don't think twice about coming here definitely the best Thai restaurant in Long Beach our absolute favorite. Food is freshly made amazing customer service. They have the best coconut soup.

    Tom Kha

    Wow! Came here on a whim while in town for a friend's art show, and I am so glad!! Best Tom Kha I've had in a long time. Our waitress was so kind and patient. She had to deal with a gentleman who was clearly in some sort of religious psychosis and he kept coming in to harass her and her male coworker, and felt so bad he was being so loud and weird while I was eating. But I didn't mind much, she stayed very classy and level headed and honestly I just hope that guy gets some help. The value for the food is amazing! I forget exactly how much it was but we ordered the bigger Tom Kha and it fed two people easily with some delicious leftovers to take home. The bill was only around 20 dollars iirc. 10/10 food, maybe not the best or safest location, but I like a good hole in the wall.

    The service was one of the happiest customer service I've had and very friendly with all smiles... it was literally HAPPY THAI The food was great, my boyfriend never had pad Thai and he loved the friend rice I loved the green curry sooooo much The ambiance could use some plants and more Decor and color

    Thai tea

    Their beef soup is so amazing, my daughter loves it, and the owner is really sweet and really cares about the customers. And I can't forget to add the Thai tea is so perfect and creamy! :)

    3 shrimps in the already small portion of pad thati.

    Entrance door was very dirty which is never a good sign. Seriously it represents your whole business,make sure is sparkling clean and new. Only one other pair of customers in whole place. Got shrimp pad thai take away for~18$. 3 medium pieces of shrimp on the whole thing. Flavor is eh, I have had way better Thai at way better prices though not at Long Beach. Enter at your own peril.

    Coconut chicken soup just delicious
    Afifiana A.

    The food was fantastic .. Also, they are very friendly .. the coconut soup was delicious so it was the papaya salad We are going back there for sure

    Pad thai, thai tea, & panang curry

    The panang curry was the BEST we have ever had! The pad thai and thai tea were amazing, too. The server was very attentive and friendly.

    Fried rice, white rice

Great portions for the price. Everything was spicy enough, matching the selected levels. Food was still hot when it arrived at my place. It was so good. Tom Kha - loved the straw mushrooms that use in it!! The chicken was tender and perfect. Yellow Curry - delightful. Never had jackfruit before so it was interesting having that in the curry, but it looks like chicken, just a gummier texture. Flavor and spice of the curry was great. Loved the bogo free deal! Pineapple Fried Rice - good but a little too spicy for my liking which is my fault for picking level 3 spice, but the container was packed to the brim, making it worth the money. I'll be adding more lime to freshen it up when I finish the leftovers. I'd recommend this place!! Lots of good reviews for a reason. excited to try more over time!

The staff always seem annoyed and anxious to kick customers out near closing. Regardless, I'll still keep coming back as it's worth dealing with in exchange for everything else being good.

Between the chaotic parking situation and feeling rushed through the meal, it took away from what could have been a great dining experience. Good food, but the atmosphere and service style completely turned me off from wanting to come back.

The food from the photos looked amazing so we thought this would be a good place to try. We entered and it is quite small. Expect to have a bit of a wait during rush hour. Lucky for us it was just us two, and it was towards the end of lunch. The inside looked super cute and the aesthetic reminded me of the Philippines. They had these cool lanterns, and metal soda signs in Thai. Plus umbrellas below the ceiling. The menu looked really cool, like it was from a newspaper that is colored. The plates had roosters on it. I loved the ambiance for sure. We saw a couple order a few things I asked what they had ordered. One was grilled pork neck and they suggested the Tom Yum Mama Seafood soup and for dessert mango and sticky rice. I also got green thai tea for drink. We got it all mild because my spice tolerant isn't as good as it use to me, and my mom usually tolerates mild as well in regards to spice. The presentation of the food is great. The Soup was so delicious! I'll definitely order again. It had noodles, like thin ramen. The seafood was delicious with the crunchy pork. It blended so well. I love that the soup was sour and spicy. The pork neck was a bit too spicy, and so I believe they might have not prepared it mild. It was a bit difficult to eat because of it, but still really good. The mango and sticky rice is delicious as well. Perfectly made. I will definitely come back here.

The service from the main owner/manager (female) was by far the rudest I've experienced at this restaurant. When ordering, we were simply trying to explain how we wanted our dish prepared. For certain Thai dishes, there's a big difference between something being fried versus crispy, and we were trying to make sure it was prepared the same way we had ordered in the past. While we were speaking with another server to clarify the order, the manager stepped in, took over the conversation, and rushed the order through right after she clocked in. It felt very dismissive and like we weren't being listened to at all. When the dish came out, it wasn't what we had asked for. When we politely asked how we should properly word the order so it could be made correctly, she became visibly upset instead of simply explaining it. She then took the dish away, and no replacement was offered--nor was there any apology for the misunderstanding. I completely understand that restaurants have many customers to attend to, but we are paying customers as well. After years of making the drive here for a good meal, this experience was extremely disappointing. Sadly, this interaction cost you a loyal customer, and I will not be recommending this location anymore. As far as the ambience, they have no TVs that works, no music playing during dinner, and top it off- There's a huge leak over the bar area coming from the ceiling.

They have a good selection of options so there's likely going to be something for everyone. Highly recommend the Thai boat noodles - the broth is very rich and flavorful, definitely in my top 5. I will say that service can be very inconsistent. From my more recent experiences (multiple visits across the last year or two), I noticed a pattern where the servers are quick to seat you and take your order, but then you don't hear from them again until you flag them down (if you need anything or want to get the check, for example). I'm not saying that check-ins throughout the meal are required, but they would be nice gestures. Also having to wait around to contact a server just to pay can be a bit inconvenient... The ambiance is nice, it has modern decorations and there's a good amount of interior seating. I will add that it's mostly street parking in the front but they have a small parking lot in the back, including a rear entrance. Overall, good food, 50/50 service, still would come back.

Now I know why they put it in a plastic bag when delivered. The sauce spilled in the bag. I had to pour it back in the container when opened. I don't think that's very sanitary or even proper way for the sauce to be put in the papaya salad. They could have at least put the sauce in a separate container for me to add. Food: -Green papaya salad (som tom): Like I said the sauce spilled all in the bag (see pic). Other than that, it was really good. It has a little kick to it. But I feel like the sauce could have been served on the side. -House special crispy pork belly: It was really delicious. It has good flavor. The breading on the pork gives it a nice crunch and pairs well with the sauces provided. -Roti with peanut dipping sauce: The texture of the roti was really soft with an easy bite. And it pair well with the peanut sauce we got. The peanut sauce was a little bit liquidy for my liking, but overall it had a good taste. Rey peanut forward. -Pad Thai with shrimp: The noodles were cooked perfect. The noodles on the bottom however did stick together (after it sits there for a while). But once you mix everything, you get a good bite - the noodles, bits of egg, bean sprouts. I do wish there was an option to request more lemon/lime. I like to add a lot on mine. I definitely recommend this place. Their menu also had a lot of other yummy food options to choose from.

Crab Fried Rice I chose Crab Fried Rice and asked them to make it spicy. This Crab Fried Rice was seasoned to perfection the crab was sweet, the fried eggs, green onions and fried onions kicked it up another notch this spicy fried rice was delicious and the best thing I ever eaten in 2026. 20/10 Vegetable Egg Rolls Three egg rolls served with a trio of sauces I asked for something spicy as well. Crunchy on the outside with a filling that was a bit fluffy with onions and veggies. I loved the crispy texture dipped into the sauces all soo different sweet, savory and spicy. 10/10 I ordered water and sprite as my drinks. Basil Fried Rice (made vegan) My daughter had Basil Fried Rice stir fried with onions and basil the seasoning was on point she said it was amazing I had a bite and it was delicious she wants to have this again on our next visit. 20/10 Birthday Dessert They were kind and gave me a desert for my birthday I believe it's called mango sticky rice it was very good and my first time eating that. 8/10 The vibe in this restaurant was chill our server was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed water napkins extra sauces and containers for my leftovers she gave me three sauces to enjoy with my food. .

The service did great with helping us out and attending to our requests. The ambiance was relaxed, and where we sat in the back was cool because there was upbeat music playing loud enough to muffle the surrounding sounds but still soft enough to have conversation at our table without needing to raise our voice. Overall, I'm glad I gave S T Noodle Bar a try! I'd recommend it!
