    Yellow curry
    Dr. Amelia H.

    Yummy last minute spot! We wanted some good cooked soul food after a long and stressful day. Prompt seating, nice friendly staff, attentive waitress and food came out fresh! Good flavor, crispy where needed and nice and hot food. Couldn't get enough! A bit more of a fusion flavor and mild in nature for spice levels but left full with lots of leftovers! We would be happy to come back and try more. See pics for the table spread!

    This place definitely exceeded expectations. The portions alone are impressive--everything we ordered was easily good for two people, making it great for sharing. The super crab fried rice really lives up to its name. The crab pieces are huge and plump, not skimpy at all, and you can tell they didn't hold back on quality. The fried rice itself is well-seasoned and pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the crab. The pad see ew is another standout. It's very flavorful, with that rich, slightly smoky aroma that hits you right away. Every bite is well-balanced, and the noodles have a great texture. The catfish was surprisingly one of my favorites. It's cooked really well--crispy on the outside, tender inside--and most importantly, it doesn't have that strong fishy taste. Just clean, savory flavor. And the fried pork belly is exactly what you'd hope for--perfectly crispy with a nice crunch, while still juicy and tender inside. Overall, everything we tried was solid. Big portions, great flavors, and dishes that are clearly made with care. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

    Food: Pad Thai with Chicken Price: $16 Overall: I was craving Thai food, specifically Pad Thai, so I came here with my friend for dinner! It wasn't crowded, but the seats were limited with some outdoor seating in front of the restaurant. We ordered right away, and the food came out in a timely manner. They didn't ask spice level for the Pad Thai so I asked for extra chili flakes and pickled jalapeno. The pad Thai was super delicious, and it got me really full so I had leftovers (which I know is going to be bomb!).

    food: KHAO SOI: SOO delicious that I went back the next day to get it again. broth is so tasty, savory. I got mine with chicken. I finished the ENTIRE bowl. definitely extremely filling & couldn't put my spoon down. service: good service. ambiance: very limited inside and outside seating. Tight inside.

    Cousin and I came right when they opened at 11am on a Saturday. The restaurant is relatively small, and there weren't too many people when we arrived. But as we started our lunch, the restaurant slowly started to fill up. Always a good sign. We ordered the Holy Basil Rice with ground beef - this dish came with a fried egg - delicious. We also got the roti with green curry - the green curry was soooo good and the roti was made just right. We also shared the Tom Kha soup with chicken, perfect for a chilly day. And lastly, we ordered another side of rice so that we could finish the green curry. Everything was so good! It was recommended to me by my cousin, and I'll be coming back for sure! If you like Thai food and are around Irvine/surrounding areas, definitely check this place out!

    Crispy Pork Pad See Ew
    Sandy N.

    Thai cuisine is literally one of my favs, so I'm mind-blowned by all the peeps who give Siam Station 4+ stars..like have you guys never been to Chiang Rai, Manaao ~ Thai Comfort Food, or Hanuman Thai Eatery??? This place was no comparison. The hubs and I had a rare date night opportunity, so we wanted to try a new place..esp. since we didn't have any kiddos restricting us. I was literally craving Thai and the wait at Chiang Rai was 1.5-2 hrs, so a definite no since we were on a time constraint to pick up my daughter from a hangout with friends, afterwards. There are actually 2 Siam Station locations in Irvine and we went with The District at Tustin Legacy location strictly due to the number of positive reviews and decent pics. Man, were they deceiving. Siam Station is supposedly known for its authentic street food, including dishes like Pad Thai, Khao Soi, and various soups, curries and apps ~ but IMO, it failed to live up to the Yelp hype. This location is in the Corporate Plaza, on the corner of Jamboree Rd & Barranca Pkway. It's a super small space with only a handful of indoor seating. The rest can be found in the make-shift outdoor area, in front of the restaurant. The staff wasn't uberly friendly, but efficient in taking our orders and bringing out the food. Here are the dishes we shared: * Roti & curry appetizer ~ The roti could've been crispier and less oily. And OMG..the curry was sooo salty! I wasn't sure if it was close to the end of the night and our batch happened to be at the bottom of the pot, but geesh..I couldn't eat it. * Chicken satey appetizer ~ Marinated well and I actually liked the peanut sauce & cucumber salad. * Spicy beef salad ~ Refreshing and not bad. Not the best I've ever had, but good. We got medium spice level & it had a good kick. * Crispy pork pad see ew ~ Flavors were ok, nothing too memorable. The crispy pork was anything but that. It was overcooked and dry. Kinda tasted like jerky. All in all, RxFoodie pass on coming back..esp. with more better options available in Irvine. You just have to be patient on the wait if you want good quality.

    Pad Thai

    The food here is authentic Thai. I am so glad it is so close to my office that I can get lunch here or take it to go. The store is a bit small with limited seating indoors. But they do have some seating available outside. When dining on, the staff is busy serving. I cycle among all the different dishes here. From beef pad see ew, chicken pad Thai, spicy fried rice, and boat noodles. All are so tasty. Just depends on what I feel like.

    Roti
    Jax L.

    We have been here twice in one week. Their service is fast and rushed. Small space, but clean. They can make most dishes vegetarian with tofu. Must try recs: eggplant basil; duck curry; mango sticky rice. Avoid: -roti (super oily and hard to chew). -pineapple fried rice (lacks flavor; not enough pineapple, too much cashew and raisin).

    Terrific Thai at Siam Station. It's super small inside with only a handful of tables, but with a few more outside along the sidewalk. The portions are generous and very well priced. They also have two very interesting sounding ales, a mango sticky rice beer, and a Tom Yum Beer. Most take to go, which we did. You can order on their website, or walk in, and only takes about 15 minutes. Next time we're in the area, and in the mood for Thai, we will definitely be coming back!

    Pad Thai, some kind of fried rice, Pad See Ew, and Tom Yum = all were just ok
    Laura H.

    Our group ordered some classics like the Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Tom Yum, and a fried rice. Portions were ok for the prices (high teens per dish) but kinda wished we got more bang for our buck. Flavors were typical for a casual Thai place, as nothing really stood out to me as something I'd get again. A bit on the sweet side for the noodle dishes, would've been nice if they were more savory or had savory components. We sat at an outdoor table that appeared clean, but it's not covered with a tablecloth or anything, and we weren't provided with placemats. The lady who took our order got right down to business and seemed a little impatient at times haha. They're not super friendly here and got antsy to set the table for the next group. Parking lot is usually pretty open, even during peak lunch and dinner hours. The plaza also has some nice snacking and dessert options, so it's a good spot to catch up with friends or enjoy a quick meal.

    Fried Tofu
    Ray B.

    Located at Jamboree and Barranca in a strip mall behind McD, this friendly Thai place is a true gem. Wait times for a table are minimal and service is very fast. By the time you're in your seat, there is already water on your table and they are ready to take your order. The menu is not as extensive as some Thai places, but they have all of the core dishes. The quality and quantity are good. Food tastes great and they are not kidding when it comes to your requested spice level. The place is good for an intimate meal, but also ok for small groups. During peak times, it can get a bid loud due to the relatively small size. I find myself coming back a lot, due to the efficiency, quality and reasonable prices.

    Yellow Curry with Egg Noodles
    Grace K.

    This little hidden gem is located in the little strip mall thats shared by McDonald's, Arby's, etc. The interior dining area seats about 20 at most, and theres also a few tables outside of the storefront that each can seat up to 4 people. There is plenty of parking, and on a Tuesday night around 6:30pm, they were steadily busy with folks waiting to be seated, and not to mention, they had a ton of pickup and to go orders going on at all times! The food was good, tasted authentic. I ordered the yellow curry with egg noodles and it was delicious. I asked for it extra spicy and found it to be moderately spicy but, nothing note worthy. The curry was rich and thick, and the chicken was decent. The service was efficient, the servers were attentive, and the food came out fairly quickly. I wish that the portions were a bit larger given the price point. Overall a solid hidden gem, in a quiet little plaza, with great thai food with bold flavors. I will be back to try other items on the menu!

    Vegetable Fried Rice
    Erandi W.

    FOOD: Tye food here was very good! I've had a lot of Thai food in my life and this was authentic and delicious! We got the Roti and VmCurry which was a great starter. Also the Cashew with fried tofu, vegetable fried rice, and green beans were delicious! The Chicken Satay add good, slightly dry, but flavorful. SERVICE: The sever was nice but you could tell he was busy so not overly friendly. AMBIANCE/DECOR: It's a very small place and seating is limited. There were a lot of people waiting outside for a table so it was busy.

One of our guests started to devour that dish before I could even take a photo. Sadly, they weren't familiar with me wanting to take a picture. The kids were like "oh no.

I'm not in the area frequently, but if I was around and wanted Thai, I would definitely come back for more. Service was great and staff were attentive and friendly. What more could you ask for?

The staff was friendly and quickly greeted and guided me to my reserved table. The space was cozy and warm while having a minimalist vibe, but still had that small business owner feel to it. The menu had so many food options, more than some of the other thai spots around in OC. Here, you'll find some more rare dishes besides your more common and popular noodle and curry dishes. Dishes we ordered: - Crab Noodles: this was probably the most popular one for the table! Amount of crab was pretty good for the value and noodles were perfectly sweet and savory with the fried egg. Would definitely order this again! - Panang Curry with Chicken: this was also probably one of the best panang that I've had! The chicken was also very tender. Medium heat was the perfect amount of space that packed flavor with just the right kick to it. - Creamy Udon in Tom Yum Soup: just a little mild for those who don't want anything too spicy. While the crispy pork had good flavor, the pieces were a bit hard to chew. - Pad Thai: not usually my go-to dish because it's more sweet than savory, but this dish was pretty good. - Egg Rolls: perfect to share as an appetizer! Filling was well seasoned and rolls were lightly fried for a good crispy texture. With so many popular thai spots around OC, it can be tricky finding one that checks all the marks, but this one might have it all! Now I just need to make sure to save stomach space to try their mango sticky rice...

The Pad Thai was my favorite of the night. The flavor was so well-balanced -- not overly sweet, not too tangy, and the savory notes came through perfectly. The noodles were cooked just right and every bite felt comforting without being too heavy. You can tell they paid attention to the sauce ratio instead of drowning the dish in it. The calamari and shrimp with egg yolk glaze had that addictive crispy texture while still staying light. The egg yolk coating added richness without overpowering the seafood, and the sweet chili dip on the side tied everything together really well. The BBQ ribeye was tender, flavorful, and paired nicely with the fresh greens and dipping sauce. It had that smoky charred flavor that makes it hard to stop eating piece after piece. Overall, this meal felt satisfying without any one dish overpowering the others. Definitely one of those spots where you leave already thinking about what you want to order next time. Sadly, I didn't have enough room for dessert, but the mango sticky rice is definitely first on my list next time.

    Some restaurants you try once. Some you like for a season…read more And then there are the rare ones that quietly become part of your life. Thai Cafe falls into that last category for me. I've been coming here for over 10 years, and that alone says more than any rating ever could. In a world where places change recipes, cut corners, or slowly fade, Thai Cafe has stayed exactly what it has always been consistent, authentic, and deeply comforting. It's not just a restaurant anymore, it's a tradition. My two constants: the Chicken Cashew and the Thai Basil Chicken (very little veggies, the way I always order it). Somehow, year after year, they taste exactly how your memory hopes they will. The chicken is always tender, never dry, coated in sauces that hit that perfect balance of savory, slightly sweet, and aromatic. The cashew dish has that warm, nutty richness that feels like a complete meal by itself, while the Thai basil carries that unmistakable garlic chili fragrance that instantly tells your brain: you're in the right place. And yes -- they get busy. Really busy. The wait times can absolutely get out of hand sometimes. But honestly, that almost proves the point. You don't see crowds form around ordinary food. You see them around places people trust. Places families return to. Places that have earned patience. Because when the plate finally arrives, the wait disappears. First bite, and you remember why you keep coming back after a decade. Thai Cafe is the definition of a true family owned restaurant not flashy, not trendy, just honest cooking made the same way every time, by people who clearly care about what leaves their kitchen. Some restaurants feed you for a night. This one has fed memories for years. Ten years later and it still feels like home on a plate.

    Can't wait to come back here and try more. And come during light hours to see the garden outside. I…read moreknow it's small but nice detail to add to a Thai restaurant. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. We ordered shrimp egg rolls/spring rolls. Very well composed and filled with delicious ingredients. Thoroughly enjoyed them - just wish the sauce was a little bit thicker to stick to the rolls and hold the full flavor. But not a complaint. My friend had moo krob phad khanna - ate the plate clean - so definitely liked it. I had massaman chicken/ delish! Chicken/ potatoes/ carrots/ peanuts. Carrots could have been sliced smaller since we were eating with chopsticks - but the carrots were soft enough to eat. Very delicious - might even eat my leftovers b4 the night is over!! Adorable place. Well priced and good sized portions. Will definitely come again.

    Zabb is definitely one of our favorite Thai spots. One of my good friends planned a double date at…read moreZabb and we were amazed by the quality of service, food, and cocktails. The servers were very attentive, friendly and helpful. They were great about clearing plates regularly throughout the meal. Food was exceptional and the portions were generous. The only dish that didn't hit was the pad thai, but the Khao Soi absolutely delicious & the pineapple fried rice was solid. Highly recommend if you're in the area craving Thai Food.

    Yelp likes it short but my followers like my reviews for its accuracy and with historical facts…read moreattached. Zabb was a beautifully decorated restaurant, I felt like I was in the Thai royal palace unfortunately the food was too sweet, I won't describe them again as it was described in details in my deleted review. If yelp wants me to quit, just say so instead of continuing to delete my review, they say it supposedly/potentially be offensive to some people, pl remember the woke Instagram fact checkers were all fired by ZUCK, even Google calmed down and all the woke politically correct twitters were fired so why is the woke culture alive and well w the yelp police, the only one that should be offended is ME, NOONE ELSE! Why is it OK to say German virus/German Rubella bc it was discovered by a German scientist but not if it involves other nationality about the Covid19 virus? Zaab Thai aside from being very sweet which is frequently the case w Thai food, I said the service was good but the food was not authentic bc all the help I saw was not Thai, I just explain why that could be the reason why the food was what it was, I did not comment on how anyone physically looked, now that would have justified deletion, btw other social media gave the creators a chance to appeal, I have my posts reinstated many times that's the democratic way. Why should anybody be bothered by facts? I'm not offended if somebody asked me if I were Asian, I just came back from Hanoi, I was even asked if I were Russian? I just laughed it off bc it was funny. People just need to relax and not see problems when there were none. I see that I'm not the preferred yelpie, having been invited just 3x in my 11 years being a productive yelpie, it's OK I cherish friendship w many yelpies here and I like being of help as I'm a passionate foodie but please enough w the constant messages complaining about imaginary issues. TYVM. I have traveled the world, I raised 2 executives so I know what being offensive is, I'm polite to everybody I know and love people from all nationality or else I would not have spent time learning 5 languages and above all I HAVE COMMON SENSE, which unfortunately is missing in a lot of people even billionaires.
