Some very solid standard Thai dishes along with some more creative fusion Thai dishes. We had a group of 5 on a holiday and got seated at lunchtime with no wait. They have a nice selection of lunch specials with very competitive pricing. The green curry Alfredo spaghetti was the most unique dish we got. The green curry was tasty, but the spaghetti didn't improve the dish compared with rice. Pad Thai and the artichoke red curry were both well done. The artichokes didn't standout with taste or texture in the dish. The tubs of Thai tea and Thai coffee were a fun surprise. Restaurant was clean and the service was as expected at a Thai restaurant. read more

The server was very nice and friendly. My brother loves the food here. They have lunch specials everyday. We ordered several dishes but in my personal opinion the food was a bit too salty. The ambience is very simple but we came when it wasn't so busy so it was nice to be able to homd a conversation. read more

The worse larb in my life. It is dry and not sour at all. Some lime on the side to compensate would be nice. Some parts of the beef was hard and not edible. The first time I will not finish a Thai plate due to bad taste. read more

Went on a Tuesday night and only one other family was there. Food came out SO fast. We got the pad see ew, drunken noodles, and pineapple fried rice. The food was good, but not great. Nothing in particular stood out. I was sad you couldn't custom the spice level on the pad see ew- we were offered for it to be tossed in their spicy sauce but I just decided to have it on the side. Even the Thai tea was just okay- wish it was stronger, it was too milky for my preference. However, you really get a lot of food for the price! And service was great. read more

I really enjoy this spot! The inside is clean and spacious, and the food is very tasty. The lady who helps us is always very nice, friendly, and patient. I have tried the Mongolian beef, the pad see ew, and the shrimp wraps. The Mongolian beef has good flavor, and the pad see ew is very yum! We got it with chicken and shrimp and it was really good. You could get it with other different proteins as well. And the shrimp wraps were so good! Not what I expected, but very tasty and I love the crunch!! read more

I love Monora Thai! It's been a staple in my family as we've been going here regularly for 12 years now. I even go here to celebrate my birthday! We also like to take family and friends here when eating out. The service is always friendly and attentive, and I don't have to worry about waiting for the food to arrive for too long. I always get the 605 Fwy Noodles (Kua Gai) every time. I can't find any noodles just as good anywhere else. read more

Called at 11am to place my order for 4 dishes. They said it would be ready in 25 minutes. Got to store and had to wait an additional 15 minutes.... If it was going to take that long why didn't they say something?! I had a baby waiting in the car as well Very frustrating. read more

I met a friend who works nearby in Cerritos and she always asks me to choose the restaurant and I like trying new (to me) places as I am always on the hunt to find those "hidden gems". There wasn't a lunch crowd on this Thursday as we patronized this place at 11:30am til around 1:15pm. Service was excellent by the only wait person on staff and the food was delicious (we both ordered chicken pad thai and crab rangoons). Now, these are lunch specials which came with an egg roll and they were big portions (I took half of mine home and enjoyed later). Parking is plentiful but congested as it shares many spaces with other businesses in the strip mall where it is located. Would definitely come back when I am in the area and craving Thai cuisine. read more

Stopped by Monora Thai for some late lunch! We got the Pad Thai (added chicken) & the Tom Kha Soup with shrimp, both hit the spot! The Pad Thai was on the saucier side more so sweet, but still really tasty' If you like your noodles bold & flavorful, you'll probably enjoy it. The grilled shrimp was a nice add-on too! The Tom Kha Soup was warm, coconut-milky, & super comforting. The kind of dish that just makes you feel cozy. The chicken was nice & tender too! Overall, a nice little Thai spot if you're in the area. The inside kinda needs some upgrading but food is good! Service was alright as well but not TOO special. read more

We've been coming to Monora Thai for a long time, and after a long break, we stopped by again last weekend when a Khao Soi craving hit. It's one of the few places nearby that offers it, and their version is still good--rich, flavorful, and big enough to share. We also ordered the Sticky Rice with Mango for dessert, which was the perfect ending to our meal. Service was friendly, but they do seem understaffed. While the overall experience wasn't mind-blowing, it's a dependable spot when you're in the area and want comforting Thai food. read more

I really love their food. We placed an online order because it was raining heavily, but we still preferred to go to the restaurant and pick it up--I wanted to see the place and take a few pictures. If you go there, you'll definitely find a nice place to sit; the rain was the only reason for us. The food was amazing, and they were very accommodating with our order. I don't eat non-veg, but they customized the dish exactly the way I asked. They also have good vegetarian options, which worked perfectly for me. If you're into Thai food, I'd definitely recommend visiting this place--it was really good. read more

Thai food that's a little different than the standard fare. We had 3 dishes of which 2 were really good and 1 not so much. We loved the soupless noodles and the fried trout with papaya salad. The spicy basil eggplant chicken lacked flavor. They actually got our order wrong on this initially so I'm wondering if they forgot key ingredients in making this up. It wasn't very busy on a Sunday night so I hope they do well enough to make it. read more

I really enjoy the food here and Monora Thai. I've ordered from here on uber eats plenty of times before but I decided to go here for lunch with my sister and were pleasantly impressed. They have lunch specials everyday starting at 11am. I ordered Pad See Eww and she ordered the Pad Thai both were $11.95 which was an absolute bargain! The pad see eww was delicious! It was tasty and flavorful! I like that they used the authentic Chinese Broccoli which is the correct version! I tried my sister's pad Thai and it was delicious as well! Both lunch special comes with a veggie egg roll and wonton crisp with dipping sauce. The service was great, our server was nice and helpful. Ambiance was nice, lots of seating and table. We will definitely come back here for more lunch special dates. read more

Our experience for their Togo food pick up order on Uber Eats was positive. The food had an authentic Thai taste. Their medium spice level had a nice kick to it. We enjoyed the pad see ew, green curry, and laab salad. The parking lot can be super busy so take account for that if you're meeting with friends to dine in. I would order Togo food from them again to try out their other items on the menu. Definitely satisfied our Thai food cravings. read more

My friends and I found this little gem by accident. We were in the neighborhood and decided to give this place a try. We walked in without a reservation and were seated right away, even though our entire party wasn't there. It's a small restaurant and I can tell that they get busy, so I really appreciated how patient they were as we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. Service was great - they were very attentive and our food arrived quickly! Not to mention, the pricing was worth it with the quality and amount of food that we were given. I highly recommend the Beef Boat Noodle if you're craving something comforting. The shrimp fried rice and wontons are also really good. They also have lunch specials, which I plan on coming in for one of these days. read more

Had a delicious family meal here with no wait on a weekend afternoon. The star of the meal was the green curry with chicken, spices were on point and the sauce was so flavorful and creamy. The papaya salad and grilled chicken were also good, I loved the crying tiger sauce on the side and used it for everything. read more

Delicious food and nice portions I truly enjoyed it, we ordered for to go. I Appreciate authentic Thai

The food was great except for the beef panang curry. The beef was so dry and where or what happened to the curry sauce????? We definitely liked the pad Thai and pad see ew, but would avoid ordering the beef curry even though it was a BOGO. read more

I ordered some food for takeout through ubereats at this local place and I was not disappointed. My sister had told me how good their food was a few years back and I finally got to try their delicious dishes. We ordered 2 Thai green curry with chicken and two basil started with ground chicken. Both came with jasmine rice. The basil stirfry was extremely delicious and had a strong aroma from the holy basil. The green curry was creamy but not super rich, which makes it easy to eat without feeling overpowering. Overall, I'd defiantly go back here again to try other dishes. The staff is very friendly and had my food ready when I arrived. Parking can be tough in this plaza because of all the restaurants. But don't let that discourage you from coming. read more

Unclear about how service or atmosphere is because I got Uber delivery, but this place has a BOGO on certain dishes - hainan chicken and green curry is what I ordered, and I was SO surprised at how good it was. The hainan chicken was especially the winner. The rice was phenomenal and the sauces they gave were so good. Def ordering from here again. Everything cost me $32 or so read more

I have come here twice for dinner and have had a great experience with the food and service. I have tried the Pad Thai w/ chicken, Green Curry, and Tom Yum w/ Pork and all of it was delicious. The portion for the food is shareable between 2-4 people for the Pad Thai and Tom Yum. The Green Curry comes in a smaller bowl so I would recommend getting 2 orders if you're with a group of 4 or more. The service is always fast and I don't have to wait too long for my food. There's plenty of seating and it can seat big parties. If you're in the area and craving Thai food I would come here. FYI: They take their lunch around 1-3pm so if you come during those hours they will be closed. There's no signage or anything on Yelp but something to keep in mind if you decide to come during lunch hours. read more

Solid 4 11/4/23 Generally we would just go to The Original Thai Bbq but decided to try another Thai place. This was a great choice Hubby wanted his usual spicy chicken panang curry & I opted to get the pad Thai & satay combo with steamed white rice. Additionally, I wanted more egg rolls so I got that. They server is polite & attentive. Our food arrived shortly. Everything was piping HOT-that's a major plus. The only complaint I gad was the egg rolls were a bit bland, needed a bit more salty seasoning. The pad Thai very flavorful & Hubby was impressed by the curry. He said it had a nice kick to it. Overall, we're likely to return & try more items on their menu. The lunch specials look promising! read more

A SURPRISING HOLE IN THE WALL. This no non-sense establishment has a section on the menu titled: INFLATION RESISTANT 1) Massive and Flavorful Pad Thai w/ Chicken & Shrimp - $10?! Inflation Resistant 2) Tender Hainan Chicken with Huge Servings of Rice and Sauce for $11?! Also Inflation Resistant. The food was impossibly delicious and comforting with each bite. Vicky (the waiter and I believe the owner) was incredibly hospitable and made us feel like we were at her home. Come here - you will not be disappointed :D read more

Mediocre Thai food that unfortunately didn't quite hit the authenticity mark. The portions were HUGE so if you are looking for quantity vs quality, this might be the place for you. The restaurant was mostly empty on a weeknight, though there were quite a few takeout orders. The food was also on the sweeter end. I would go a few blocks over to Lakewood for more authentic Thai food. read more

Finally got the try this place and I found the food taste to be split. The padsiew and ribs were just ok, wouldn't order again. Khao soi sauce was delish but noodle and chicken weren't the same type compared to what I had when eating this dish in Thailand. Should be whole chicken leg/thigh, not like the thinly sliced chicken found in all their other curry and noodle dishes. Yellow curry was also very tasty. I ordered both with no spice but both came with a strong kick, so be warned. Will return and try other dishes read more

Monora Thai Cerritos is one of our two favorite Thai restaurants to go to in the area. We've been coming here for years and the quality of food never changes. The lunch specials are worth the price and there's plenty to choose from. Today, I had my must have shrimp phad thai. It always delivers...so flavorful and the texture of the noodles is soft and chewy at the same time! Perfectly made...the spicy beef salad is fresh and the spice level is whatever you want it to be from a small tickle on your tongue to sweat breaking hotness! Great job always Monora, thank you for bringing the flavors of Thailand to Cerritos!!! read more

This is currently my friends' and my go-to Thai spot in this area. The food is consistently good and the portions are very generous. The noodle dishes and fried rice dishes are definitely enough to share. Even their curry dishes are big - you get a nice amount of rice and the perfect ratio of curry to go with it; this will fill you up for sure. I always either get their Pad See Ew or Panang Curry and can't go wrong with either one. The servers are very friendly, and while the restaurant doesn't seat a ton of people, the tables are all spaced out nicely. Parking can be a bit of a challenge in this plaza, but this place is definitely worth the visit. read more

Awesome thai food restaurant. I used to go saladang in pasadena but this place have better taste.

The worst chicken fried rice from Thai restaurant I have ever had. Idk if it was just my food but they did not add any onions or garlic for flavor and the chicken had no flavor. I had asked for medium spicy and it came so bland without any spice. What a waste. No wonder no one was at the restaurant when I picked up the order. read more

The Hainanese Chicken Rice is sooo good! Don't sleep on it! It's so comforting and flavorful. Feels like a nice hug. I've also have tried the Spicy Basil Chicken and it is okay. A little too salty and dry for my liking. The staff here are very friendly and kind. I have been a returning customer because the Hainanese Chicken Rice is so delicious! read more
