    Pretty average Thai food. I give 3 stars because I thought the flavoring on the noodles were a bit too sweet and very soupy at the bottom. A regular entree is around $15. They have $11 lunch specials Monday to Friday. Inside the restaurant is very small. We opted for take out. Service was friendly, place was dead on a Sunday night.

    I normally get the spicy fried rice (which is really good) to go but decided to dine in today. Got the veggie egg rolls and Pad Thai with tofu. The egg rolls were hot and crispy. The Pad Thai was family size and quite good.

    The food at smile Thai is superb, as is the customer service. My little one absolutely enjoyed her shrimp fried rice and friendly server.

    Located in a small plaza so it's easy to miss but there's a good amount of parking available. The workers here are friendly and service is great! The food is delicious and their lunch menu special is a great deal. The portions are great and they have a variety of options. I always get the garlic pepper chicken and its so delicious!

    Best Pad Thai and Tom Yum I've ever had. Super friendly owners in a calm, quiet environment.

    This Restaurant is Truly a Gem of a Hole in the Wall. Short stay in the Harbor Area prompted me to find an Exemplary establishment to represent. The Vibes were Top Tier from the gate; extremely Grand Energy in the building. Had the Crab Fried Rice my first night; it was flavorful and hearty. Went back the next DAy for Pad Woon Sen; definitely made with pride. This shall be my new Spot for all Thai Food Matters. p.s. Trist was a Gracious Host that I hope to see Soon !

    We love this Thai place! The food is great. It's so authentic. I rave about this place and we eat here about once a month or more. This family business is so cute! The son is the cook with mom helping, sister and partner serving. You will become a regular!!! I guarantee it. My friends said they went back to their old place and they said never again.

    The BEST Thai food in town! This hidden gem is owned by 3 best friends from Thailand - Pumping out DELICIOUS and authentic Thai street style dishes. It's perfect for a quick lunch or weekday dinner and they even offer corporate or party catering options. They even make coconut ice cream in house for a sweet finish to a tangy, spicy, salty amazing meal!

    Tom Yum

    Under appreciated Thai place in harbor city! The portions were large and well priced. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the interior is updated and classic. The meal left nothing to be desired!!

    Tried this restaurant based on reviews. Had an excellent tasty and filling meal.Got the green curry chicken with eggplant, medium heat. It was quite hot and fantastic. Also had phad Thai tofu and chicken satay. Enjoyed all and the two of us had a lot of leftovers. Coconut ice cream dessert was a real treat. The service was very friendly and attentive. Food very authentic. Pleasant atmosphere. Not very busy when we were there. Rice is only included with some dishes. Would have liked a bigger portion. We will be returning!

    The best Thai food in USA. I do recommend. Everything is very fresh and homemade. Food really tasty as I was I'm Thailand.

    Beef Panang
    Grace L.

    I used to come here a lot. I think they have new management now. Today I ordered 5 dishes. I was not very happy about it. First of all I ordered for the Thai Basil pork. (Stirfried ground pork on top of the rice with egg on top) They gave me spicy Basil pork. With lots of veggies. Second the beef Panang has only 6-7 slices of small thin beef slices. And most of it is just the soup. Third the pad prikingand their other dishes were mostly Vegetables very small amount of meat in it. 98%veggies and 2% meat. The taste is authentic Thai Food. It's taste is delicious, it was just disappointing that the dish is like $15 each and there's hardly meat in it. Overall I like the TASTE of the FOOD but very much disappointed on the amount of meat in each dish. When I called to complain about the mistake of the my order, the guy who answered my call politely took my name and number and said that maybe next time I go there they will give me a discount. (That was nice of him to offer that) Oh and the wait! 45 mins. For 5 dishes. There was only 1 table when I got there but after I ordered 4 more groups came in. The 2 after me got served first before me. . It was also not nice that they were served before me. Pretty much they ordered the same dish as mine ... It was really a disappointment. I think I'm going to come back there as a regular customer if they would make adjustments on the amount of Meat /protein they're going to put in each dish.

They do not have lunch specials on weekends or special occasions. For dine in, the lunch specials are served with soup, jasmine rice and a green salad topped with crispy wontons. To-go lunch specials are served with an egg roll, jasmine rice and a drink. Lunch specials range in price from $15 to $17. Protein choices include chicken, tofu, beef, pork, crispy, chicken, shrimp, combo or seafood. Pork and beef are an extra $1, shrimp is an extra $2, crispy chicken chicken is an extra $4, seafood is an extra $7 and a combo of protein is an extra $5. My mom and I had lunch here on a Friday. She chose to get the Green Curry with chicken and I chose to get their Pad Khee Mao (Drunken Noodle) with chicken. Upon ordering, the waitress will ask about spice level. We both opted to go with mild. We were first served the lunch special soup. It was a tofu soup that was mild and light with a delicate broth. Soon after, our entrees arrived. My mom and I decided to share. First up was the green curry, which was mild but had a subtle kick. I loved that were generous with the creamy, flavorful green curry sauce. This was perfect over the jasmine rice. Next we tried the drunken noodles, which packed quite a punch despite us ordering it mild. The heat aside, I enjoyed the bold flavoring and the chewy, wide noodles. Last but not least was the green salad topped with crispy wontons. I really enjoyed the fresh greens and the golden wontons, and the sweet dressing drizzled on top was absolutely delicious! Overall, I enjoyed my lunch at Warin Thai. The restaurant is bright and clean, making it a great spot to dine in. The food was flavorful and the portions were generous. I found this to be a solid spot for my weekday Thai lunch fix and it was well worth the visit.

Our favorites are the chicken wonton soup and the chicken Tom Kay Gai (medium spicy). Their Thai fried rice is also a banger! Make sure to order it.

I definitely come back here often - I want to try everything in their menu. They're also really sweet and have a relaxing ambience with the water fountain in the background.

The Thai Iced tea is authentic and freshly made as well. Order that one along with your meal!
