    Pad See Ew
    Kat S.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Pot stickers- DIVINE. Yellow chicken coconut curry - ELEGANTLY EXECUTED AND SCRUMPTIOUSLY DELICIOUS. Food came out fast with nice workers and the ambiance was very chill swag. Can't decide which location is better. This one or the one on Jeffrey. The quality control has to be a 11/10. This is my favorite Thai food.

    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).

    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.

    Crispy Pork Pad See Ew

    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, 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.

    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!

    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!

This place is always packed so come early or get yourself on the waitlist if it's open. The staff members are very nice and food comes out quickly! Here are some of our favorite orders: 1. Morning glory with pork belly: Seems simple but they do it so right and it's a great vegetable dish to accompany your meal. 2. Green curry with braised beef and roti: The flavor on this curry is insane and the fresh roti is soooo good/pairs well with the curry. 3. Crab fried rice: A classic and done so right! They are very generous with the crab. There's a green sauce that accompanies this that is so fresh and tasty! Great to take home and eat for the next day too!! 4. Mango sticky rice: A MUST!!!!!! 5. Sweet roti: I've never had this before but I was sooooo happy we ordered this. Again the fresh roti here is made so well and the sweetened condensed milk makes this such a good sweet treat. I love pairing our meal with a green thai tea or their longan juice. They are very generous with the longans. Again, easily one of my favorite Thai restaurants around town.

But they do have a waitlist online (as of May/Jun 2026) so get on that early. I do wish they would make things spicier. I know that sounds a little dubious for a Thai restaurant but though the default is more mild, the flavor is still there. This is good for those who can't handle spice but still want flavor. This is the main reason I didn't round up on my rating. The expectation is to lean spicy or at least be asked what level. I should have asked for more spice but honestly didn't think about it at the time and was more focused on the company I was keeping. Not a huge deal for me bc the flavor was still there but definitely to be noted. I'm up for going again but next time I will ask for more spice. Other notes... they have an interesting beer list so if you like that make sure to check it out. The parking is also tight so again keep that in mind.

    The first thing you should know is that this "restaurant" is in a take-out-only style **shared**…read morekitchen: take that as you will. I definitely wish that was more explicitly stated as the surrounding area and crowd, especially coming later in the evening, can be a toss up. I would reccomend delivery--as it seemed there were lots of DoorDash individuals! Again wish they stated that. Second, our food said it would be done and ready for pick up at 9:45. It wasn't, and we ended up waiting another 20 ish minutes. Because it's take-out style and not customer service based when your order isn't done when they say it will be --there's no one to talk to which poses another issue. Though not our first choice we wanted to try it out considering the place is open until 1am and had good reviews and nothing too specific (so here I am :)). We've had all kinds of Thai and the food quality was around low average--definitely not worth the hassle and wouldn't come again. $40 for two noodle dishes without delivery. The Pad Se-Ew was okay with a weird after taste and the PadThai was lacking flavor and sauciness? It was very dry and bland. Could be good in a midnight Thai food craving pinch if delivered. Overall it's a no from us. Bumped up one star because they gave us a nice note and chip bag, that was kind! TLDR; It's a takeout-only spot in a shared kitchen (not clearly advertised), pickup felt sketchy late at night, and the order was ~20 min late with no staff to talk to. Food was below average--Pad See Ew had a weird aftertaste, Pad Thai was dry and bland. $40 for two noodle dishes, not worth it. Might be okay only for late-night delivery in a pinch. Small bonus for a nice note + chips, but overall wouldn't return.

When I looked at the menu, everything sounded good, and I ended up ordering way more than I planned even though there were only two of us.

We had Super Lump Fried Rice, Tom Kha Pot (seafood), Duck Pineapple Curry, Grilled Giant Squid, and Red Snapper with Mango. For dessert, Coconut Custard, Durian Sticky Rice, and Thai Iced Tea. The Duck Pineapple Curry was nicely presented and a bit different in a good way, not something I usually see at other Thai restaurants. The Red Snapper with Mango was probably my favorite , the sauce had a really good depth of flavor, and it reminded me of the kind of flavors I had when I visited Thailand before. I also really liked the durian sticky rice. Most Thai places I go to usually only have mango sticky rice, so seeing durian on the menu was a nice surprise, and I actually enjoyed it all the way to the last bite. For two people, the bill came out close to $200, which is not cheap, but I felt like the variety and quality made it worth it for me.

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!

    Such an underrated gem! My parents, sister, and I have been going here since I was really young! A…read moremust-try for when you're in the area! Food: Our favorites here are the Tom Yum soup, pad thai, yellow curry, fried rice, and lastly, the mango sticky rice. The Tom Yum soup comes in a pot with a fire on the bottom, so it's warm and comforting! The pad thai and fried rice are generous in quantity, so you'll have leftovers for sure! The yellow curry comes with rice and has a coconut base if you're a fan of coconut. Lastly, the mango sticky rice is so good because the sticky rice is covered with this coconut cream. It is pretty sweet, but a must-try! Service: The same waiters are here, as this is a small business. They are so nice! You can also ask them to bring their assortment of chilis for your food, and you can put these in the soup and other dishes for them to be slightly spicier! The food takes a little while to come, but it's because of how fresh it is! Ambiance: This is a small restaurant with a few Thai paintings and a few sofa booths. It's so cozy, and the bathroom is clean! Please try this place if you're in the area! They are not on DoorDash or Uber Eats (yet), so please stop by and enjoy the amazing food!

    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.

    I've always been a fan of Thai food. In fact, over the years my taste buds have changed where I…read moreactually enjoy it more spicy than not. So I was super excited when my friend recommended me go there for dinner. Now I had seen this place for a million years when I lived in Orange county and it had changed hands a while back. But I was so excited as it's probably one of the more beautiful restaurants that I've seen right off of Pacific Coast highway. They have valet parking in the front, and because Newport Beach is severely limited in their parking choices, it's best to take advantage of that. Walking into the place, it has a wonderful, warm inviting atmosphere. The people and servers are really helpful and very warm in the front. They definitely make good suggestions, so take advantage of their expertise. We ate a bunch of stuff. From the spring rolls, to the chicken set hey, too to Coconut milk soup to crying tiger, I was absolutely stuffed by the time dessert came around. My friend told me I had to try the Coconut ice cream, but I was leaning more towards to the Thai tea creme brulee. I said what the heck? Let's order both. Everything was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. I would give this place 10 Stars if I could but you will only allow five so let me say it here. This is definitely a 5 plus place. Bottom line? I will definitely be coming back here again. If you live anywhere near Newport Beach, you owe it to yourself to go to this place. Super delicious, super fun and very casual relaxed that experience.

    We had Zabb Thai for lunch at our office this week…read more There was: Papaya salad, spicy & good but missing the crunch of fresh papaya. Chicken pad see ew, I think. Also good but the noodles were mushy and not chewy. Beef and vegetables stir fried: Was good. Vegetarian pad thai, I think. I loved this dish. The noodles were still chewy and tofu was not hard. Good flavor. Veggies spring rolls. This was okay. I'd prefer the regular spring rolls with meat. In all fairness, I would like to visit the restaurant in person for the actual dining-in experiment sometime. Foods always taste better dining in than take it to go.
