Super delicious Thai food! I'm impressed…read more Got on the Yelp waitlist for a Friday night dinner. Warning: parking sucks lol We were lucky and able to snag a spot. It can get busy at this restaurant so know that there will definitely be a wait! It's a popular one Once you're seated, everything is super quick! Service was great and the food came out so fast. My husband and I ended up ordering: Manaao Thai Iced Tea, Green Curry with Beef Rib Eye & Roti, Pad Thai with Beef, Manaao Pork Jowl, and Thai Pandan Custard with Coconut Ice Cream on 6100 Sourdough Milkbread for dessert (limited quantities). What a fantastic meal! We ended up with enough leftovers for lunch the next day and I was so happy Everything was so delicious in its own way!!! The Manaoo Thai Tea (4/5): way different than a milky Thai Thea! It felt more soda adjacent and was refreshing and limey Green Curry with Beef Rib Eye & Roti (5/5): SOOO good and SPICY! Plus the roti was flavorful and crisped to perfection. Probably one of the best curries I've ever had Pad Thai (5/5): one of the best pad Thais I've ever had! What really stood out was the viscosity of the sauce. It was perfectly glossy and thick. Loooved the texture of everything from the noodles to the sauce to the tofu! I did think the sauce was a little on the sweet side, but I think that's just my personal preference. Next time, I will get double the lime (there was lime on the side, but I wanted a bit more to cut the sweet) and I'd like to try the dish spicy too Pork Jowl (4.75/5): simple but delicious! Perfectly cooked pork jowl. So juicy and fatty Thai Pandan Custard with Coconut Ice Cream on 6100 Sourdough Milkbread (4.75/5): TASTY! The star here was the bread. The milkbread was sooo good. Coconut ice cream was a bit on the icy side but still good. The Pandan custard was thick and velvety. A delicious dessert! I will absolutely be back! Can't wait to try more

We got the combination fried rice, pad thai with crispy pork, pineapple curry with chicken. Combination Fried Rice- The rice had a nice garlicky taste and it was loaded with pork, beef, chicken, and shrimp. Perfectly seasoned too. Pad Thai with Crispy Pork- The noodles were soft and chewy and the sauce was a lovely combination of sweet and tangy. The crispy pork added a later of texture and flavor. Pineapple Curry with Chicken- The curry was bursting with flavor! The pineapple chunks added a burst of sweetness and freshness to every bite. The chicken was nice and tender. Great meal overall!

Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and clearly made with care. The spices, freshness, and balance in the dishes were spot on. Each bite was satisfying and full of that bold, crave-worthy Thai taste. While the curry wasn't my personal favorite (the veggies were a bit undercooked for my taste), everything else more than made up for it. From the appetizers to the stir fry, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Service was friendly and quick, and the owner/chef is always welcoming. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves Thai food. You can really taste the quality and heart in every dish!

We proclaim this the best Thai restaurant in the area!…read more Finally! 5 years of searching and we think we found the best Thai spot. It beats Manaao as well! We stopped by for lunch and ordered a pad see ew, a green Thai curry lunch special and a crab lump fried rice. My daughter always orders pad see ew, that's the one dish she gets every single time. The presentation was beautiful. At first bite she dropped her fork and said "omg, mommy this is so good. It's the best!" My green curry was flavorful. I ordered it with pork. I thought they could've given a little more white rice but it does come with two egg rolls and a salad. All for $13.50! The crab fried was perfectly seasoned with a hint of sweetness. The rice wasn't mushy or anything. Just perfectly done. I thought the quality of the crab could be better, it was shredded in texture and tasted watered down. Maybe next time I'll just settle for the claw which is a little cheaper. All in one, it was a very good meal. We all enjoyed it very much!

I moved further away within the last year so it's 25-30 min to get here now so I haven't been eating here as much I'd like. However today's meal reminded me that it's so worth the drive. I try A LOT of Thai spots in OC and it just doesn't compare to here. (Yes, I've had manaao, Hanuman Thai, Thai Nakorn, etc) Each dish here has the perfect balance of flavors. We always rotate through a few orders: pad kee mao, panang curry, pineapple curry, tom yum, Nam tok, crying tiger, and boat noodles. And their crab Rangoon is a great app. Today I got the boat noodles. No notes. Their version does have pork blood which I prefer. I've had other places that don't include it and it's just not the same. Portions are hefty. It was so filling without being heavy. Made my heart and stomach full. The owners are so incredibly kind and make you feel at home. Please support local businesses in OC!

My favorites are the crying tiger steak, the tom ka soup, pad thai, crab fried rice and cashew nut chicken. Honestly...!!?? It's ALLLLL good. The prices of quality meat has gone up as pretty much everything else and their prices have always remained about the same. I believe there are tons of ingredients in thai food and that's why we love it right? The FLAVORS..!! I went to Thailand a few years back thinking it was going to be different for some reason and it tastes pretty much exactly the same .!! I was pleasantly surprised that the thai restaurant I have been frequenting for many years is authentic as they come. They mango sticky rice( when in season) is epic.!! Their thai tea and thai coffee is soooo good, sometimes a lil sweet but I don't mind adding a lil water , it's like another drink .! They have young coconut still in the shell that's comes out refrigerated and refreshing. There are thai restaurants popping out everywhere you go these days and each time I try them I'm disappointed.. If you want some great authentic thai food try Bangkok taste out. It's a family restaurant and they all cook together !!

Came here for lunch and ordered the green curry with beef. Unfortunately, it was pretty…read moredisappointing. When the dish arrived, the coconut milk hadn't been mixed into the curry, so I had to stir it myself. The curry base was also overly sweet and didn't have much depth of flavor. The beef seemed like stew beef and was quite chewy. Also something to be aware of: the restaurant charges $3 for a small portion of plain white rice, which felt excessive for what you get. The restaurant is located in a very quiet plaza, so I'm not sure what the owner's strategy is with charging extra for rice while serving food that doesn't really stand out. With the price and quality, I'm not sure I'd come back.

We kicked things off with the Beef Salad, which was incredibly fresh with tender beef, crisp vegetables, and a bright, flavorful dressing that had the perfect balance of tangy, spicy, and savory.

They're an absolute must-order. For our entrées, the Yellow Curry with Shrimp was rich, creamy, and packed with authentic Thai flavors.

The Ka Pow Ribeye was another standout, featuring tender ribeye in a fragrant basil, garlic, and chili sauce with bold, well-balanced flavors. the Thai Iced Tea was smooth, creamy, and refreshing!

They have a fast casual set up where you order at the counter and when your food is ready, someone will bring it to your table. Their menu is pretty simple and straightforward. They have Stir Fries, Curry, Noodle Soups, and Soups, and you can choose the type of protein you want: veggies, tofu, chicken, beef, shrimp, bbq pork, chicken satay, or fried chicken, each at different price points. We got a Pad See Ew with Chicken, and it was tasty! There was a decent amount of broccoli in it. They also ask you what spice level you want. We ordered mild, and it had a slight kick to it. We also tried their new menu item, Thai Basil Eggplant. It comes with ground chicken, bell peppers, onions, and jasmine white rice. I ordered mild spice level as well, but it wasn't as spicy as the Pad See Ew. It was still very flavorful and definitely goes well with the rice. It came out piping hot! I would get this again!

While there are a few other spots in town that I would dub them supreme but for their offering, service, and ambiance, this is a great spot for business lunch, catch up, or family over delicious food. For this location, it is a bit small with limited seating. For large parties or families, you may have a longer wait time since tables need to be shuffled around. One of my favorite things to pair with our meal is their spice rack. If you are able to handle a bit of heat, ask for it and introduce the pickle chili to your dish. It elevates flavor with contrast quite well. Pad See Ew and Crab fried rice is what we ordered. The first visit had beef salad which paired great with the rest of the meal. Overall, stop by this location for good eats. FYI, parking can be tricky so be mindful about peak hours and carpool.
