We came to Long Beach for a convention and we were so excited to try all these new restaurants!! I…read morefound Thai District onYelp with over 1,000 positive reviews. Plus we love Thai food. And boy were we happy we did. This place fit us in on same day reservation, and were a semi large party of 6. We were escorted upstairs to such a cool table with some soft and fluffy pillows and a huge panoramic window. Waitress was very kind and helpful and was good at her job. Now on to the meal. Truly this was the BEST Thai food we have ever tasted. Every single dish was better than the last one. Every thing was seasoned just right. From the fresh and crisp Spring rolls to the Spicy dumplings, and the our delectable, savory Pad Thai. Our Drunken Noodle dish, we ordered mild in spice level, but was mouth watering and delightful! We mentioned it to our friends, who were also here for the same convention, one couple ordered Door Dash the other 5 tried it and every single one of them were not dissatisfied. They loved their meals and thanked us for introducing them to the best Thai food, so far that we've had personally. Next time we are in Long Beach, we will most definitely come back!

Best Thai food I have EVER eaten bar none! 100% worth all…read morethe hype if you live up to it and they do. Great service and great portions which surprised me as usually the quality places give you small portions especially when they are rated by Michelin Stars. But they live up to them and they have two. The place filled up in 15 minutes and we were there as soon as they opened. They don't take reservations so you gotta wait in line if you don't get get there at the drop. The place is bright and cheery and the only draw back was the MOST uncomfortable steel chairs that dig into your hips and back, if you are more than a size 2. No joke. You will be sitting on the edge of your seat (especially the men folk) because you can't sit/slide back into the chair and that's a big no no in dining. What were they thinking? Who tried these chairs out before buying them, a tweensy elfin person? And I saw several ppl squirming in their chairs like I was so it wasn't just my big butt either. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. But back to the food...my goodness the flavors were so spot on and well sauced everything...deep umami and layered depth of flavor because, this chef knows what they are doing back there. WOW! I hope you try this spot. It's worth the drive no matter where you are coming in from. I'm home now and I'm still thinking about what to try next time. We had so much food to take home too. Can't wait to break into the mango sticky rice later. Oh always a plus, the staff is super friendly and watchful. We wanted for nothing and they were so attentive. I really appreciate that. So bottom line, get there, get there early and bring a seat cushion. You are going to LOVE this food!!!

Been coming here for years and I swear I thought I reviewed them already. I guess not! So it's…read morefinally time to give Chiang Rai a proper review. Chiang Rai is featured in the Michelin Guide and for good reason. I'm pretty picky when it comes to Thai food and this place is definitely at the top of my list. There's usually a long wait but we came early for dinner yesterday and got seated almost immediately. FYI, they won't seat you until your entire party is present. Also, street parking only so give yourself a little extra time to find a spot. Here's what we ordered: Fresh Oyster Thai Street Style- This is a MUST for me every time we come. The chili lime sauce topped with fried shallots is what makes this soooo delicious! If you're an oyster fan, definitely order this. 10/10. Fried Enoki Mushrooms- First time ordering these and we loved them! Perfectly fried with just the right amount of crunch. Definitely ordering these again. Khao Soi w/ Shrimp Tempura- Guys. Trust me when I say they make the BEST khao soi here! We've tried it with different proteins before, including soft shell crab and tofu. This was our first time getting it with shrimp tempura and it was equally delicious! Deep Fried Branzino- I've been wanting to order the whole fish here and we finally did. Perfectly fried and the apple dipping sauce was such a good match. Delicious dish! I highly recommend checking this place out if you're a fan of Thai food. There's a reason we keep coming back!

Sure, it's kinda hood, and some have felt that it was too small or not as presentable as other restaurants and Thai spots in LB, but that's part of its charm. There's a local and family-owned vibe here, and I recommend it to all my peoples! Our favourite dishes here have been the bbq pork, pad see ew, fried tofu, tom yum, yellow curry, khao soi, drunken noodles, spicy angel wings, green curry, larb, and kra phao eggplant. All of these have never failed to bring out the "oohs," "ahhs," and "yums" from us! Other solid choices include pad thai, pineapple fried rice, boat noodles, thai crispy garlic chicken with orange sauce, and thai bbq chicken. Yes, we've eaten here a lot and have introduced it to a number of people! The service is very fast at Elephant Thai, and the menu has switched to digital since the pandemic. On the plus side, they have also not gotten rid of their healthcare worker discount (10%)! The parking lot is tiny, but there is local street parking available. It's so close to my hospital that it's so easy to take a quick lunch trip! Come show some love at Elephant Thai Kitchen!

The dining room is clean and modern with a full bar and comfortable seating. Service was generally fine, though a simple request for more water took noticeably long while I was eating hot food. Thai dim sum arrived dry and nearly flavorless; the accompanying sauce didn't help. The Pad Kee Mao was equally under-sauced. I sent it back and asked for additional Golden Mountain, oyster, and soy sauce. It returned unchanged. I added the entire dish of prik nam pla myself and still found the noodles lacking the depth those sauces should provide. The only dish that worked was the satay (listed as Satae). The beef was well seasoned and properly grilled; the peanut sauce was merely adequate. I may stop in later for a drink if the hotel bar is expensive, but I will not order food here again and did not take any leftovers.

There's loads of amazing Thai places in Long Beach but you tend to go you the ones you like. I been to a good amount where they're highly rated but something about them isn't what I'm looking for. Some tends to be very Americanize, others are just whatever but people love them. I like what I like and this place is one of them. Like mentioned, whenever I'm in Long Beach a visit here is always a must. The service is amazing as all the staffs are very friendly and welcoming. The place isn't that big but a fairly decent amount of seating on both side. They do have a table out front but it's only one. Menu has pretty much a good selection of Thai dishes. I like what I like and tend to go for the same items as they are one of the place that makes it the way I prefer. And why is it some Thai places don't offer their classic dish, the boat noodles. I've been to a few and they don't offer it while some places, it's not that good. Here, it's alway consistent and very flavorful. That a must for me and alway ordered. We also love the papaya salad which you can have Thai style or Laos style. Depending on what your preference is. Their larb is great as well. Very flavorful and tasty. Of course our main items we tend to get here, the boat noodles which I love as it's flavorful, broth is perfect and all the extras added. Also all their curries are excellent. Lately we've been getting their massaman curries which the flavors is really nice. Whatever protein you like. The curries do come with a side of rice but an extra order is alway needed. Love it to have with the papaya salad and larb. All their dishes are great and very flavorful. Spice level varies on what you like but I tend to go with medium and add all the extra spices for myself with their sauce selection. We tend to alway be full even before being asked if we wanted dessert. The food is always amazing and the staff are always friendly and sweet. There's two restaurants that's a door apart and both are great but this one takes the cake for me. It's always a must when I'm in town as I know the food will alway be delicious. Highly recommended. Heads up, parking in the area is a bitch. It's all residential so people tend to stay in or else they're going to lose their spots. Just a heads up.

We ended up having left overs for days. We tried the basil eggplant with chicken, the fried pork belly, the drunken noodles with bbq pork (the bbq pork was SO good), tom kha soup with shrimp, and tom yum fried rice with shrimp. The fried rice was next level good. And the tom kha soup was excellent as well. I didn't love the drunken noodles themselves but the bbq pork on the dish was delicious. The fried pork belly was a little too tough to eat but the sauces it came with were both great. And the basil eggplant was solid. Would definitely come back to try some dishes in person like the Khao soi!

We ordered the Thai Boat Noodle with large noodles and didn't receive the correct noodles. I requested the Green Curry w/ chicken extra spicy and a side of Roti, and they gave me Roti with a small side of green curry. When I notified the server (who didn't originally take our order), she came back with Green Curry w/ chicken, but it had no spice whatsoever. We had to flag down the waitress for a few times, and at some point, we ended up just going to the front counter because we got tired of waiting for someone to come by for us to get to-go containers. Some dishes were served correctly. The Stuffed Chicken Wings tasted like lumpia, especially with the sweet chili sauce it's served with. The Drunken Noodle w/ beef tasted good, but I found the beef to noodle ratio lacking. Overall, food was decent, but service was disappointing.

Me and my crew just got done with a long day but we still needed dinner. They were pretty tired so…read moreI decided I'd just get some Thai/Chinese take out and bring it back to the hotel. We have full kitchens in all the rooms where we're staying along with plates and all the set ups. The rooms even have dishwashers! So, I found this S T Noodle Bar near by and decided to give it a try. I kinda know what there guys like to eat, so I just ordered a bunch of food. The only request from anybody was for Pad Thai, the most common dish at all Thai restaurants. I GPS my way over and order the food. I was Khao Soy on the menu and I don't see that at too many Thai places that I've been to, so I got an order of that with chicken. Of course, an order of Pad Thai, 2 orders since I have 5 hungry people to feed. Also, I ordered the Thai coconut soup, I think it's called Tom Kha with chicken. One more noodles dish was the Drunken Noodles, it's kinda like Chinese Chow Fun, but has a more spicy flavor and basil in it. The food was all pack and bagged for me to take back to the hotel. We used my room since I have a bigger room. We had plates and set ups for all five of us and we re-plated the food on the serving plates that came with the room. All the food was really tasty and everybody was happy not to have to leave the hotel. I heard compliments on the Pad Thai and the Coconut soup. It was a good idea just to do take out and eat at the hotel here.
