First time here, while attending a conference at the LB convention center, a short walk from there. We apparently beat the crowd because we were able to get seats right away, but within 15 mins there was a crowd! Ordered a pumpkin curry with chicken and a spicy Thai Basil with pork. The rice came in 2 small plates, in a cone shape, which was interesting! Table setting was wrapped in cloth napkins, and the overall vibe was quite chill, definitely not your mom & pop place, and definitely had a higher-end restaurant atmosphere. The pumpkin curry was very smooth, and seemed like a red coconut curry but with a sweetness to it. Quite delicious and tasty! The spicy basil stir fry was very tasty and fragrant too, except maybe too salty for my taste. I liked how the vegetables in it were really fresh, green beans were perfectly crunchy. We also wanted dessert, though it didn't show any on their menu. However, looking at Yelp, we saw they did have some and asked for mango sticky rice, which is one of my "test items" to check for authenticity, lol! Unfortunately they didn't have any, it wasn't available. We settled for fried banana ice-cream instead. It was a surprise to get the fried banana as little crispy triangles, with banana paste/filling! Almost like fried wonton! Ultra crispy, it went really well with the very refreshing coconut ice-cream! Staff here are friendly and definitely Thai! Important for me that a Thai restaurant is run by Thai people, for authentic food! They were swamped, and we could hear from their calls that the to-go/delivery orders would be badly delayed. They may want to prepare for future odd nights like this when there are conferences and events returning to the Theater and Convention Center, by checking the center's calendar! Overall a pleasant experience, and will return if I'm in the area again!! read more

I ordered Larb duck and got charged 2 bucks extra for it. That's not what I'm mad about. It was when they used tofu and called it "duck". Do they think people can't tell if they are eating duck or tofu??? Lame, I'm not going back. read more

Order Mongolian dish combo. Two pieces of beef the rest chicken. No sauce in the looks like the Lu ran out of food. They want to charge a lot but the food is sub par read more

Food was outstanding, service was great, and we sat outside so the ambiance was gorgeous.

Been eyeing this local spot. A beautiful patio and now that indoor dining is open a quiet indoor option. We started with Calamari which was tasty. A smaller portion than other restaurants, but quality seemed better which is a plus. For my main meal I ordered cashew chicken with a side of brown rice. Presentation was great, portion size was just right, but it was much to sweet for my liking. Definitely will support this local spot again. A few modifications and it should be much more my style. read more

Yoooooooooooooooo! this place was a bit difficult to find for some reason my navigation kept making me go in circles till I saw a underground parking lot where the address was and couldn't really see any signs of the restaurant. After finding parking didn't really even know which floor it was and had to walk around going thru different exits and finally found it, it was outside of the building facing ocean blvd I believe. I got the green curry, soft shell crab, tom kha and my friend ordered the fried rice. The fried rice was definitely good but Ive tried many Thai restaurants fried rice and it didn't really stand out, im a fan of fried rice so there all typically good for me and very easy to make so very difficult to mess that up for me Green curry to me was very little and wish they put little more zucchini, bamboo shoots and chicken but it tasted like a standard green curry from a Thai restaurant but still delicious. Same goes for the soft shell crab, it tasted like your standard soft shell crab from many thai places with the sweet chili sauce but also crispy and delicious. The service was very fast, food came out in less then 10 minutes, probably also because we were the only people there we arrived for late dinner around 9pm. Price was quite steep for thai food about $75+, ambiance was very calm and great for dates cause you can definitely talk and the restrooms were clean. read more

I've been ordering take out from Naree for quite some time now and I think their food is pretty good! I can't speak on the service or ambiance because I have yet to sit down at the restaurant but my food is always ready for pick up within 15 minutes. The pad Thai is pretty standard but can be a little on the sweeter side. The pad see ew is solid. read more

Decided to give them a try again. Ordered a spicy Tofu Pad Thai and it was pretty good. It was a little dry but not terrible. I added some condiment sauces to it and it was fine. Also had a Thai coffee, which was too watered down for my liking. All in all, I would try other items here again. read more

This was my second time at Naree and it did not disappoint. I was in town for a conference and took my colleagues here for dinner. The food here is authentic Thai and they have a great menu with many options. The Green Curry is delicious and spicy. The crab fried rice is a special treat. There are whole crab claws in it! We also enjoyed the Mongolian Beef, Pad Thai, crispy spring rolls and fried tofu. The service was friendly and fast. read more

Food is good! Service is good. My only complaint is they sometimes don't have all their items listed on the menu.

Tried it for the first time on Uber eats and it was delicious. Great flavors- got shrimp pineapple fried rice, tom kha soup, and drunken noodles. Be aware of the spice flavor because it is HOT- even medium was hot for my Hispanic boyfriend who loves habaneros. Mild was perfect for spice I thought. Was also very excited to try the lychee iced tea but the Uber driver forgot it. So will try next time! read more

Terrible!!! How do you mess up a salad. The chicken on the salad was so DRY! Totally ridiculous at the price of $20. The dressing was extremely thick for a salad dressing. I wanted to share them however they were closed prior to getting home. Never will I order from this restaurant again. read more

Not often do I run into a Thai restaurant with exceptional Thai Fried Rice. And may I add...quite delicious Coconut Soup! If you prefer thicker consistency then it's not for you. The soup was runny but delicious. Unfortunately, the customer service was not on point. The young lady who rang me up was quite unfriendly, plain stoic. No greeting, no utensils in my bag, no good bye nor a thank you for purchasing food. Good thing I was taking my food out and not dining in. read more

Sitting by the front door in Naree Thai, I feel like I'm in a space farther from the main street outside than I really am: I like the interior setting. I experience good customer service: during my visit, I ask for a Vegan meal, and the employee creates a suitable order. The vegetables are good all around and taste better with the brothy type sauce. Even so, I think the meal can use a bit more of the brothy type sauce as much as a part of me feels there is just the right portion in my meal. With this type of meal, I don't mind tofu being a bit softer. I think the rice tastes good with the meal though clashes with the tofu. The meal is filling though cools kind of quickly. read more

Here for 2022Space Tech Expo. Love Thai...this place is a short walk from several hotels off Ocean. Sprung for a Dirty Thai Tea (brandy, Thai tea and cream) as I waited for my "to-go". Wide open and airy space, lovely jazz fusion playing in a very "chill" space. Had the Golden Tofu and meat combo pad Thai in lieu of my typical red curry cause ..well..who doesn't love pad Thai? Drink was perfect, price is just right. Delish across the board...ample portions and friendly staff. 5 stars for the whole gig! read more

Stopped in to get some noodles last night. I was craving for some chicken Pad Se Ew. The place was not crowded at all. Just a couple of tables occupied. I ordered the noodles to go. Nice friendly staff. The noodles took only 10 minutes. I got home and opened the box. The chicken, Chinese broccoli and noodles were perfect and so delicious. A little pricey for the amount of food. But everything costs more these days. I will definitely return to dine in and try other items. Stop on by if you haven't yet. Thanks for reading and have a good day.

It was not our first time to time visit this restaurant. We loved visiting them whenever we come to Long Beach. But, maybe this was our last time. We ordered Honey Pork Ribs & Tangerine Chicken & sticky rice today. The waitress asked if we want all come together, and we said YES, please. But, she quickly brought us the cold ribs & the rest of the order came about 20 minutes later. Can you see how dry ribs they served? It looked like "jerky" to us, it was so tough to swallow. OMG . I asked the waitress, she returned after "double-checking" with the chef, that "because it was marinated in honey that made the ribs dry (?!)" Come on! You can not make honey ribs that quickly to make them dry like wooden sticks and within about 15 minutes and it was still cold. It was such a bad explanation and underestimated their customers. Additionally, she blamed the order system made her bring up the ribs before the rest order instead of together as she confirmed. And, they still charged us for the order! I don't think I want to come back to this place. read more

Stopped here for dinner with my boyfriend and WOW! The food was incredible! We ordered a Woon Sen soup to start along with calamari and chicken skewers. For our mains we got shrimp fried rice and Massaman curry - yes we ate a lot but we were starving! Every single dish that came to the table was devoured instantly. We will definitely be returning to Naree Thai. The food was hot, delicious and hit the spot. The service was also lovely and everyone was very friendly. If you're in the area and craving Thai food, be sure to stop by here :) read more

Amazing food.We ordered pad Thai with chicken and spicy basil beef lunch specials. They each came with a free drink. And the total is $34. Best lunch in Long Beach!! We will come back tomorrow! read more

I love it here. Decor is rather bland but the food is great. Service is lovely as well. I come here once a month. It never disappoints.

I was in town for a convention in Long Beach and decided to have Thai food the last night. It's been awhile since I have had really good Thai. We ate at the bar and the service was very prompt and the atmosphere was relaxing. I had the Tom Ka soup and Massaman Curry with pork. Both dishes were tasty and the next time I am there I'll hit it up on the first day! read more

I wondered in here today because it was on my way and I wanted to grab a drink and a bite to relax. This place if phenomenal. Cocktails - top notch. Food - delicious. But what makes this place truly special is the people who work there. So friendly, genuine and accommodating. I sat at the bar right next to where people come to pick up their take out orders. The lovely bartender knew almost every guest and what they usually order. It's not only about the way I was treated, but about how every single person, who walked through their doors was treated. It looks and feels like this is family owned/ran place. I wish there was more like it. This is the type of restaurant I want to support and see succeed. Job well done guys. I will be back and bring all of my friends. P.S. My secret garden cocktail is an absolute must have. See picture. read more

Naree Thai Restaurant - My secret garden. - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

I've been here a few times before. While the portions have been incredibly small for the price, I've always given this place a chance since I live nearby and the food has been fairly good. After my experience last night, unfortunately I will not be returning to Naree. I placed a carry out order that quoted 30 mins to prepare and pickup online. I arrived promptly to pick up my order and was shocked to see how crowded this restaurant was which I've never seen before. Apparently there was a major event happening in the area that drove a lot of ppl to the restaurant. This event actually happens every year. The restaurant was NOT prepared for this crowd at all and was very understaffed. Come to think of it, I realized that they are ALWAYS understaffed, even on regular weekends. When I arrived, there was a line for ppl with carry out orders and a party of 10 sitting literally in the doorway. Standing an additional 30 mins to pick up my order was not ideal as the restaurant is small and even smaller w a huge party only an arms length away. My overall frustration is that no one in the restaurant acknowledged the line of ppl trying to carryout and be seated. They completely ignored us for most of the wait time. When I received my order it was horrible. The food was definitely being churned out rather than being freshly cooked and served. The Pineapple fried rice was bland, and the crab noddle were not edible at all. The crab also had a strange texture and the noddles were too sweet! The food here normally has never been this bad. The lack of acknowledgment and how bad the food was is it for me. Naree is on the expensive side but based on last night's experience it doesn't warrant it. read more

Food is delicious and service is great! We like to order for pickup and they are always on time. The full bar is also very attractive. Some outdoor seating is available for the warm evenings. Go get some! read more

Food not that great. Chicken red curry was really bland but the papaya salad/slaw was tasty. Maybe they were having a bad day. I will try one more time. read more

A long overdue review for this restaurant. I tried almost everything from their menu. My favorite food is the eggplant dish and the seafood drunken noodles. Also their catering food options are great. I give them 4 because they could be more generous on the protein portion of the food. read more

Excellent food and nice ambiance. Would have given five stars but they had fox news on in full view the entire time, put a damper on nice evening! read more

This is a great Thai restaurant, even though you can't tell from the outside, meaning, it looks boring. I was pleasantly surprised when I stepped through the doors and was seated. The restaurant is clean and modern. They have an awesome lunch menu. I ordered the Pad Thai from the $10 lunch menu, which comes with a drink, so I ordered the Thai iced coffee. I don't know of any other restaurant where they include a drink (other than soda or a cup of coffee) in the price of the special. The portion was just right and the food tasted great, of course. The staff are efficient. I will definitely be back. read more

Tried Naree for the first time by delivery after seeing good reviews on yelp. The larb salad with chicken and green papaya salad were both very good with mild spiciness, as requested. The issue I had was with the Tom Kha soup. I requested it mild but could detect none and typically Thai mild is plenty spicy for me. Additionally, I added vegetables and shrimp to my soup and although I was happy the shrimp were large, they were not properly cleaned/deveined which is extremely unappetizing and an overall disappointment. read more

Very good Thai food! Service was friendly and attentive. not a long wait. Reasonable prices! We had dinner here two nights in a row while visiting Long Beach. Will definitely go back and make that drive from LA just to taste other items on menu. read more

Autumn in New York...why does it seem so inviting... Autumn in Long Beach....the weather's hotter than ever. Not really...but hot enough to still pass for a blistering summer's day. Except at this little sweet spot on Ocean Boulevard. Here, lithesome cool gusts circulate on the patio which is pleasantly nestled under a stark high rise office building. Masks are required of both staff and customer. Physical distancing is not an issue and comfortable 10 foot seating might have always been the norm, anyway. The quiet but attentive server brought water without our requesting it. The reasonably priced lunch includes a small appetizer and beverage. The Thai iced tea and Thai iced coffee were quite enjoyable. We both had fried veggie dumplings. The $11 spicy eggplant had a moderate spice that even I might order next time. Previously, I've had pad see ew two other times. Both times at a good, but now defunct, restaurant. The first sublime, but the second, not. I would rate today's $10 version from Naree at 90 percent of sublime. I'm fine with food served, not hot, but warm. Perhaps the trip from kitchen to the ocean cooled table had something to do with the food's somewhat tepid temperature. Therefore... Autumn at Naree...that's why it seems so inviting. read more
