Terrible service, rude staff, did not care at all! It's a family run business, but they don't treat you well and the service was terrible. The older gentleman which I'm assuming is the father got angry with me. read more

When my family and I ever want Thai this is the ONLY place we come to! They are very quick to get you your food and very attentive! The portions of food are a good sized amount too! read more

I love this restaurant. Thai is my favorite style of food. Their dishes are so rich and yummy. The staff is friendly and works so hard to make the experience unique and enjoyable. The location is located in Cerritos and it feels family style when you arrive. It's small but homely nonetheless. read more

I thought Narai Thai was the best one but I was wrong, I found a new best one, I loved it. Great taste, big portions, fair price, good ambiance and fair customer service... i definitely recommend it... read more

UPDATE: Today, 3/7, I ate my leftovers and found a tiny hair in my Pad See Ew. Good thing I saw it, I really hope they're more careful going forward 3/6/2024 Cashew Nut with beef and steamed rice: This was pretty flavorful and the beef was so tender! I hate going to Thai restaurants and the beef would be too tough to chew. Major points for flavor and tender beef Pad See Ew: This was also flavorful and the beef was also tender!! I think I prefer this dish just alittle more because the noodles were great Butterfly Shrimp: I love crispy shrimp and sweet & sour sauce so definitively delicious Service: There was only one person helping us and she was very sweet and friendly. Originally, I wanted to order the Thai Boat Noodle Soup, but they were out so it almost made me want to deduct one star for that. But she was so kind and my food was good so it's fine, I can let it go! She said next time they will have the boat noodle soup though. Two other customers wanted the boat noodle soup too and walked out when she said they're out Parking: It can be tough depending on when you go. I went on a weekday so parking was fine and easy. Beware that there's a Gen KBBQ so the parking lot gets packed for them read more

Monora Thai offers lightning-fast service, spacious seating, and generous portion sizes that are perfect for sharing. Unlike other Thai restaurants, their curries and rice dishes are substantial and won't leave you hungry. The food quality is excellent. They have a huge menu, but you can't go wrong with the spicy basil squid (a must-try!), the rich panang curry, or the sweet pad see ew. Everything arrives piping hot and stays that way throughout the meal. Be careful not to bite or burn ur tongue while eating this delicious meal! Tip: Be aware that parking can be scarce during peak hours since it's located in a popular square. read more

Delicious Thai food in a peaceful atmosphere. Crowded shopping plaza with many noisy restaurants, so come here for a welcoming and friendly oasis of delicious food. They have daily lunch special menu with special items such as Hainan chicken rice, BBQ pork spare ribs, and Thai BBQ chicken. The pad Thai and Pad see-ew are good choices, as are the Thai fried rice, Yellow curry with choice of meat, and Papaya salad. read more

I come here often with my friend and I absolutely love getting their Pad See Ew with beef! It's full of flavor, with the perfect ratio of noodle, meat, egg and Chinese broccoli. The beef is also soft and tender. Their Fried Calamari is also amazing! It's so crispy and well seasoned. The portion sizes are really good! If I just ordered the Pad See Ew, I'd have enough for another meal (I may eat a little less than the average person though). I have ordered other dishes here before, like Pad Thai with chicken, Tom Kha soup and different curries to try, which were all ok in my opinion. I definitely like their Pad See Ew the most and it's what I mainly come here for. Unless it's the hainanese chicken dish (this dish is also pretty good btw), I personally don't recommend getting chicken as a meat option for other dishes unless you're ok with it being more dry/bland. read more

I've eaten at a lot of places that are located in this same plaza, but this past weekend was my first time trying Monora. It was a Saturday and they were able to seat our table of 10 right away which was nice, they were also very patient with us as we had several questions since some of us (like myself) hadn't been there before. A few of us ordered from the House Special menu thinking it was a meal for one, still not sure if it's supposed to be or not but it comes with a lot of food! It comes with egg rolls and wontons, and soup then comes your entree. I ordered the S1 which is the pad Thai with chicken sate.. oh man, so delicious!! The pad Thai portion is huge though and it comes with 4 chicken sate. I shared this with another person and we still took some home. Another house special a couple other people ordered was the salmon with panang sauce. This was cooked really well and the sauce was tasty, this is something I might order next time if I'm looking for an individual meal. We had a big group so we got to try a lot, we also got the Monora Thai soup - they mix the Tom kha and Tom yum soup, I really liked this soup! You can really taste creaminess and sourness if both soups and blends together perfectly. We tried the papaya salad which was really good and refreshing, the northern thai larb which was good, the pad see ew is a must, and we got a side of the crispy pork - which is basically chicharron and really delicious with the vinegary picked pepper hot sauce they give you. Most people ordered their food at spice level 3, which I think was the perfect level because then you could still add one or more of the spicy condiments on without it being too spicy. They have really good pickled jalapeños and peppers! Overall I enjoyed my experience here, but did see a creepy crawly friend in the bathroom that scared me and that is why I had to give 4 instead of 5 stars. read more

This is a family must have when we visit Cerritos. It's rare to find good Thai places but this restaurant has both that homely taste and the amount of food you get is incredible. The waitstaff is attentive but you may need to flag them once or twice due to the high volume of orders both in the restaurant and the sheer amount of to-go orders this place gets. There isn't a bad dish yet that I've experienced and you won't be disappointed. read more

My husband and I have been ordering takeout from here for over a decade. We bypass closer Thai restaurants just to support this local business not only because the food is delicious, but also because the staff here is always so kind. I love that it's so easy to make a majority of their dishes vegan, and whenever we add a dish that isn't vegan to our order, they always call and double check if it was a mistake. This restaurant holds a permanent spot in our takeout rotation! read more

I comee here so often it's by far the best hai restaurant here in Cerritos ! But the service needs work. I asked for water repeatedly and eventually had to go up and ask for water since the least they couldn't do finally got done. The pad Thai, pad se eew, papaya salad & yellow curry are to die for and I'm 100% sure if any other dish you get you will love very very much. The quantity and quality (flavor/ presentation) are absolutely everything. The chefs in the back never miss a single thing and they will convince you to come back for more constantly. They're so lucky here because they offer spice level and if you're in for spice you'll be happy here. I can't handle spice so I enjoy as is. There's accommodations here with substitutions for meat if you don't want any chicken or beef. There shrimp, tofu and vege. It was agitating to beg for water when common curiosity at any restaurant is water and utensils first as you wait. read more

Ordered through Postmates so this review is solely for the food itself. Noodles in Tom Yum Soup - takeout was packaged nicely. Nice portion of noodles, bean sprouts and meat. I chose Spicy for the spice level and it was a nice kick. Bearable but might be too spicy for those who can't candle heat. Rated 4/5. Pad Kee Mao - who doesn't love drunken noodles? Noodles had the nice char flavor. I also chose Spicy for the spice level since most places don't make the medium spice level spicy enough. Anyways, it was a little too spicy for me and I should've went with the medium. My fault though. Still rated 4/5. Fried Bananas - wow, when I first ordered this, I thought they were only gonna give like 2-3 small pieces, but I was surprised to see 5 decent pieces in the size of egg rolls. The bananas weren't sweet but they did provide a honey syrup sauce along with a chocolate dip. Probably would've been bomb of the bananas were sweet. Rated 4/5. Overall, solid Thai restaurant. But note when you ask for spicy, Monora Thai makes it really spicy! read more

Food was great will order again got it in a good amount of time at the house still hot

Great food, service is good never had an issue, and great price considering today's prices.

Stumbled on this place looking for the restaurant that used to be here. For a Sunday they were really slow. I went around 530pm and there was no one dining in although they seemed to have orders coming in. The waitress was nice and got us seated with water right away. The interior is clean and pretty big but it's funny because I'm pretty sure they kept some art in a wall from the last restaurant. I ordered the Thai boat noodle with level 3 spice and my husband got the coconut beef pa-bang curry not spicy. Mine was good with lots of meat and the soup really hits the spot on a cold day although it wasn't spicy at all. I am sad theirs doesn't have liver which is bomb in this soup. The beef curry was really good as well. It's nice and sweet and great portion size as well. The meat in both dishes were soo tender so I would totally reorder just for that. Will def be back and I recommend to others. I hope they get busier since the restaurants in this plaza have a high turn over. read more

I always think this place is overshadowed by other restaurants in the plaza, but you should definitely give it a try! If you're new to Thai food, I'd recommend: Pad See Ew with beef or shrimp -- Pad See Ew is made with wider rice noodles and includes a soy sauce-based seasoning. I love that it taste consistent every single time I order it. You cannot go wrong with it! Pad Thai with shrimp -- a stir-fried rice noodle dish commonly served as a street food in Thailand. This dish is made with a thinner rice noodle and a tangy tamarind-based sauce. You also can't go wrong with this dish! Panang Curry -- spicy red Thai curry that is thick, salty and sweet cooked in coconut milk. This dish is delicious, but isn't consistent. One time I ordered it and it the consistency was perfect, not too thick, not too watery. But this last time I ordered it, I thought it was some sort of Tom Yum soup because of watery it was. Probably won't order again. Service -- service is okay to be honest. It could definitely be better. read more

Love monora! Its the go-to thai spot when in cerritos. Its located in a very busy shopping center but monora itself usually isnt too busy. This is my family's favorite thai restaurant and we usually get seated right away. To start, calamari is always a must. I go with shrimp pad thai every time and the flavor never disappoints. Their pad see ew is really good too. Their portions have also recently gotten bigger which is amazing. Friendly staff who are usually pretty attentive. There have been a couple times where they've forgotten things from our order but theyre nice and try to make up for it. read more

Ambiance is good, colorful pieces inside the restaurant. Food is good and service is good!

The food was excellent. We enjoyed satay, fried rice with seafood, spicy catfish, pad thai, Thai beef salad and gravy noodle. I particularly appreciated the Thai beef salad's spiciness and good beef texture. The Pad Thai dish was pleasingly seasoned with a hint of sweet tomato paste. However, the Spicy Fried Rice was satisfying enough without being overly spicy. Despite its location in the samePlaza. With other restaurants, finding parking could be quite challenging. We will be back for more. read more

My husband got a terrible stomach flu from a delivery order from this restaurant. The flu spread to me as well a few days later and ruined our Labor Day weekend. We are certain that it's the food from Monora, as it's the only thing that we didn't both eat last week and the timeline for the flu symptoms match. All other meals we've either shared or made at home. What we got was not just your run-of-the-mill food poisoning, it was a full blown stomach flu that requires someone or something to carry the virus and pass to us. It's gross. My husband had horrible stomach pains, chills, low grade fever, zero appetite...for days. And I caught it with all the symptoms plus vomiting. Beware if you eat here or get any of their specials online. read more

We love ordering from here! We have noticed serving sizes have greatly diminished from what it used to be a couple years ago, but the taste and quality are still up to par. We like the service by the staff whether it's in person or ordering online. Located in a busy plaza so parking can be a challenge. read more

I will say that though I had a mishap with this restaurant a decade ago, I decided to give it another go, and their pad see ew and pad thai are both consistently fresh when comapred to other thai spots in the area. I like that they use Chinese broccoli instead of American broccoli in their pad see ew. Oh, and I recently discovered that their fried tofu is a great protein option for both noodle dishes. read more

Terrible customer service!!! Placed an order at the wrong location. Less than 3 minutes I called and asked to cancel the order because I live too far. Estimated pick up was 48 mins away so everything should be okay to cancel. Owner (man) yelled at me saying my order was already cooked and ready. Impossible I asked for a modification and I know it needs to be made fresh. Service over the phone was awful. I will never call back. read more

We chose this place to celebrate our twins' birthday as they've asked for Thai food. They've always loved the lunch specials at another Thai place but decided to try this one and boy it did not disappoint. The pad see ew and sate are spot on. the bbq chicken I think is not as good as the one from the other place. Their server/servers were attentive , friendly and courteous. It wasn't crowded when we came in, probably because they just opened and 11am is just too early lunch for most. The place is spacious compared to the other place which is cramped. I just find it odd on how table set- up is....not the usual tables and chairs arranged around the area. It has this long black padded leather seat against the wall and tables are set up parallel to the wall boxed by metal chairs on the opposite side. It somehow feels it needs more tables for more occupancy. Anyway, I can't complain as we felt like VIP's being that the servers knew what we need even before we ask for it. I gave 4 stars - the one star missing is for the set-up of the place. It could use a little more design or level up on table arrangements. Will come back again! read more

The food was fresh and delicious. I've never been here before but the food was excellent and the gentleman who served us was very friendly. Surprised I've never been here before. We usually go to another Thai restaurant but I think I prefer this one now. read more

Been here a few times already, both pre and post-Covid, and they haven't disappointed. I have had the Pad See Ew, Chicken Satay, Pad Thai, and my go to order which I will highlight from my most recent visit is the Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle). All were delicious and I love that I get to support a mom-and-pop restaurant. What I ordered: -Pad Kee Mao: The flavors always hit the spot with this one. I get the order with beef but you can choose whatever protein you want. There are bell peppers, tomatoes, and basil. The peppers are cooked well and give some nice texture and color to the dish. While I typically don't like chunks of tomato, they added a slight sweetness and acidity to the overall flavor which was fantastic. The basil was super fragrant and beautiful in the dish. There was plenty of meat in the order and the ratio of veggies to meat was a comfortable amount. I also loved the flat noodles. They were soft, had plenty of flavor and sauce, but were not oily. Unfortunately they do clump up a bit from sitting in the takeout box while you drive home, but not a big deal. You can't expect the same quality as sitting down so be mindful of that. The food is still delicious. *Be careful with the spice levels by the way. If you ask for spicy, they will give you exactly that. I typically ordered a 3/5 medium spice but wanted to be adventurous and try a 4/5 since my boyfriend and I have a high spice tolerance. Let me tell you we were a little too confident lol and added a bit of the extra chilli sauce they give you for extra pizzaz and we were sweatinggg afterwards. Both of us finished our orders because it was yummy, but we had to pause after every few bites towards the end because it was a lot to handle. So my recommendation is go for the 3/5 spiciness and add the extra chili sauce whenever you need to, otherwise your butthole will feel the burn lmao. I also wanted to mention, I made a larger order for my family a few months ago and they have a promotion where you get a free pad thai if you make a minimum $25 purchase! They also included some complimentary egg rolls and plenty of rice for our entrees. Super awesome and sweet of them. The restaurant and parking: This place is located in the same plaza as class 302, Sake 2 Me, and Gen. This area including South St. tends to get a lot of visitors so it may be busy at times but I've never had an issue finding parking, even during pre-covid times, so it shouldn't be a problem. I like to call in to place my order ahead of time and my food is usually done within 10-15 minutes which is perfect. Really awesome service and I have had the owner recognize me after I came in a few times as well. Overall: Really solid food with very fair prices. I definitely will come back whenever I'm craving Thai food. Support your small businesses! read more
