    My family & I came here for lunch on a Saturday since my family live sin the area. I've been here several times at this location & 1x at the cypress location in the last decade. I was surprised to see how slow the business was on a Saturday. Kudos to them they survived through the pandemic but I wouldn't say they serve the best Thai food. I've had better elsewhere that tasted authentic. We ordered pad Thai, pad see ew, shrimp fried rice, & beef dish. The noodle dishes & fried rice wasn't bad but the beef was dry & bland. I remember the flavors at this place were better in the past. Price is affordable & great for family & kids. Ambiance is clean & modern.

    This is the last time I come to this restaurant. I came to have lunch with my family (3 adults and 1 child) and was charged 18% large party gratuity. I would like management to explain to me how a party of 4 is a large party?

    I've been meaning to try this place for a while, so I finally got the chance to do so. I've seen this place on Instagram, and it looked really good. After checking out Yelp, this place only had 3-something stars, so I said "screw it" and gave it a try. Best decision I made! The food was amazing. Everything we tried was absolutely good. The ambiance is a chill vibe, and the food came out really fast. Also, the service was really good, and you get refills on drinks. I will most definitely try this place again, and I recommend you try it too.

    My family likes to order Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Rad Na, Fried Rice, Veggies, Wonton Soup, Coconut soup... everything is delicious. We come here for birthdays too! It's my family's go to Thai food place. Also, my 90 year old grandma loves this place! Service is great. Music is good haha. Upbeat and keeps you eating xD And I love the orange chicken. Leaving the review so that I remember to keep ordering Orange chicken again next time. One of the best places for Orange chicken. I know, I'm picky and probably considered basic. It's good. Trust. Haha.

    My friends and I were looking for some food and decided to go back to an old favorite. We hadn't been to Sweetee Thai for a long time - probably at least a few years. The layout hadn't changed and everything pretty much runs the same as before. We ordered some dishes to share, including what I was craving - tom yum noodle soup. This is one of the few places that make this noodle soup and has all the fixings that I like in it. Plus they make it spicy on a consistent basis, which is hard to find. Our food came out quickly and everything was good. Sweetee Thai is one of the those places where some of the dishes are fantastic while most of the other ones are consistently good. We know that when we come here, we will get a good meal. I also convinced my friends to share a coconut smoothie with me - yum! Service was good - staff was quick, efficient and we got what we needed right away. While I wouldn't necessary be in the mood to come here often, it is good to come once in a while.

    Consistent as always! Food is always good. Fast service. This is our go to Thai restaurant in the area. Our faves are the mango sticky rice, spicy beef pad see ew and orange chicken.

    Came here with a friend of mine. We wanted to have lunch at a Thai spot. So decided to come here. We were seated immediately upon arrival. Service was good. Didn't get her name, but she was quick to serve us. I had ordered the yellow curry with rice and salad. Not sure what dressing they topped the salad with, but it was good. Tasted like honey mustard. My meal did taste fantastic. No complaints there. They also had serve us water in a fancy stainless steel cup. Never seen anything like it. Place did get super busy later for lunch so it tells you how much customers loved this Thai place. Would like to return and try other items on the menu.

    We have always been eating here. The food is fine and what should Thai should taste. I have been to some other Thai place and some food would taste different. The service is good. The ambiance is okay; not really for a special occasion.

    Pad See Ew
    Samuel L.

    My friend's favorite Thai spot, we recently visited here based off their recommendations. This spot serves pretty traditional Thai dishes as well as some that I've never seen before. I got the pad see kee, my classic go to, and it was flavored well, freshly made, no complaints from me about it! Next time I come by, I want to try some of the other Thai dishes I've never had before. Definitely a Thai place worth checking out!

    So it does seem that there is a service charge here that a lot of people are complaining about, things really do add up here (I'm trying not to hold this against them). The service can be a bit slow, they are pretty understaffed during the busy hours it seems. The food is always delicious though and the ambiance is not bad. The yellow curry here has slowly become my favorite dish & the homemade ice cream is also delicious! Food: 4.5/5 Service: 2.5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Value: 3/5 Overall: 3.5/5

    Crispy Chicken Wing Combo with Papaya salad. For dine in only.

    First time at this restaurant and placed a to go order…read more Food was very good, even after travel. The service was fast and great. The guy who helped was pleasant and had me in and out without hassle. The restaurant is clean and spacious for the area. I'll definitely be back to eat at the restaurant next time.

    Considering the reviews, the food was somewhat below expectations, while still being fine…read more I had the filet mignon garlic noodles. I just found it overall a bit aggressive and over seasoned, with not a lot of layers or subtleties in taste, which is usually a sign to me that the cook is substituting salty strong flavors in the place of more depth of flavors. So it's kind of like catering to a lower common denominator and that approach may satisfy many, without anyone really being impressed by the result. But perhaps expecting subtle refined flavors is too high a bar for a chain type of Asian food place - maybe. While I did like the noodles and the sauce, the filet mignon entree portion was something more along the lines of what I'd find/expect at a Panda Express. Which isn't terrible, as I like Panda, but I just expected more with the high rating. The place is clean and modern and seemed newer, but the overall vibe was more impersonal, quick-serve, corporate. If someone wanted to meet and eat here, I'd be fine with it. But I also wouldn't go out of my way to eat here or necessarily suggest it if I were meeting a friend out for lunch.

    I've been a major fan of this taco spot since they first came to Long Beach. Decided to stop in and…read moretry this location before heading to work. My order is always the canajillo shrimp taco and zanadeado fish taco, no tortillas. Just a cheese crust style. Just as I thought, they nailed it! The tacos were awesome. The consistency with all 3 locations I have been to has been on point. The flavor hasn't changed. Usually that's hard with a non-menu item. If you have never had these tacos, I highly recommend them. The shrimp is stewed and the fish is grilled not fried, just how I like it. Shout out to the manager who was accommodating to my needs. His service to make it happen was on point. The cooks need a shout out too! You all are awesome! The restaurant was very clean and well kept. I definitely will be coming back to this location when I'm over this way. Thank you again for accommodating my dietary needs. You rock!

    If you love karaoke and Thai food, this is definitely the place to go!…read more I love the party lights and the disco they got going on during karaoke!! Lol it's located in a plaza, so there's plenty of parking! They start karaoke around 7p and it was a fun time lol. The food is great, highly recommend the pad thai, krapow over rice, and the Lao style papaya salad! The food is sooo flavorful and depending on who makes the Lao style papaya salad (my favorite), it can be on the fishier and more pungent side. But their papaya salad was pretty balanced. Lao style is generally more sour, spicy, and pungent whereas Thai style tends to be sweeter and lighter tasting. Also, if you're not a fan of spice or have a more sensitive stomach, do NOT get medium spice lol. Your stomach might hurt. Even though we were finished eating and had been there for almost 2 hours, the staff were still serving us water and offered the very front seat as the "free seat" to sit at, since it's a non serving table. But it was getting late, so we decided to leave. You'll def get your money's worth!

Food: The soups were quite bland for our taste so we did a bit of customization with salt and pepper. Although they provided a decent amount of banchan, the proteins in their soups were pretty scarce, not worthing the $19 price tags. Their Hae Jang Guk was the only soup with the bone filled up the bowl. However, because there's no space in the small bowl, even a little nudge made its soup spilled all over my sister's body. The waitress just then gave her a bib but the damage had already been done. The Bulgogi and Katsu took the longest to come out but they were the highlights of our meal. Service: We were the only table at the time and our waitress only gave us 2 menus for a table of 6 so we had to go grab our own from other tables. She's not the friendliest and kept tossing things on our table. She also tried taking away a dipping sauce jar after I had already requested to keep it. Our water was never refilled and napkins were very skimmed out. Though she did check up on our tables, her attitude was what made us refrain from asking for help. We love to give smaller businesses a chance, but we're sad to say Jomaru is not one of them.

    What I Ordered: Juicy Pork Dumplings ($11.99)…read morePan Fried Chinese Chives Pork Shrimp dumplings ($12.99) Wonton in Spicy Sauce ($11.50) Chicken Fried Rice ($12.99) Dry fried string bean ($13.50) Orange Chicken ($14.99) Kung Pao Shrimp ($18.99) Dan dan noodle ($13.99) Beef roll pancake ($12.99) Spring rolls ($3.50) Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba Food: The Pan Fried Chinese Chives Pork Shrimp Dumplings. I absolutely loved the crispy bottom layer because it added such a satisfying crunch to every bite. The inside stayed really juicy and flavorful with a good balance of pork, shrimp, and chives. The Juicy Pork Dumplings had soup inside, which was rich and savory. I've had soup dumplings before where the wrapper breaks apart too easily, but these held together nicely while still staying soft and delicate. The Wonton in Spicy Sauce was my personal favorite from the entire meal. The spicy sauce flavor was savory with a little sweetness. I'm typically not good with spice, so this is at a spice level that should be very manageable for everyone. I absolutely loved the spicy sauce, so I started putting it on everything. Definitely put the sauce on the chicken fried rice! The Chicken Fried Rice was a great dish to pair with everything else that we ordered. With several orders of entrees, a solid rice dish is a must order for any Chinese meal. The rice had a nice savory flavor that I enjoyed, and there was a generous amount of chicken mixed throughout the dish. I even asked the waitress if they do anything special with the fried rice because it tasted better than many other restaurants. It felt comforting and balanced compared to some of the heavier dishes. The Dry Fried String Beans were cooked perfectly with a slight crispness while still being tender. The garlic and seasoning gave them so much flavor that it honestly didn't even feel like I was eating vegetables. I do have to note that these were very much on the salty side, so if you don't like foods that are too salty, I would choose a different dish. The Orange Chicken was really crispy and juicy, which I appreciated because soggy orange chicken is always disappointing to me. The sauce had a nice citrus flavor while still keeping that classic sweet savory taste. The Spring Rolls were simple with vegetable filling on the inside with a crispy outside. I would try a different appetizer next time. The Kung Pao Shrimp was packed with flavor and had a really satisfying combination of textures. The shrimp were tender, and the peanuts added a great crunch to the dish. I thought the sauce had a really nice balance of spice and savoriness without becoming overwhelming. Another dish I really enjoyed was the Beef Roll Pancake. The pancake itself was nice and chewy throughout each bite. The sliced beef with green onions and sauce all wrapped together made every bite really flavorful and satisfying. For drinks, I ordered the Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba. I really liked that the jasmine tea flavor was noticeable instead of being overly sweet like some milk teas can be. The boba had a soft chewy texture, and the drink itself paired perfectly with the spicy and savory dishes from the meal. Staff: All of the staff members were quick and friendly Ambiance: Indoor seating only. A good amount of parking in the parking lot that is shared with other shops in the plaza.

At first, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the overall experience was better than I anticipated. The seasoning was a little strong, and some dishes had a fairly familiar, standardized taste. Nothing was bad, and everything was prepared well, but I do feel a little disappointed when the authentic flavors of traditional Chinese food become less noticeable. There were four of us, and we ordered about eight or nine of their most popular dishes. My parents really enjoyed the food. I have worked in China before, so I may be a little more sensitive and particular when it comes to Chinese food. Overall, the restaurant has good reviews, the prices are reasonable, and it was a pretty good dining experience.

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 pretty good-sized space, with light and bright decor. It wasn't crowded and we were able to get a table for 4 with no problems. We ordered as a group and I got to try the following items: - spring rolls with shrimp and tofu (the rice noodles were a little on the hard side, but overall ok) - fried calamari (interesting presentation with the rings hanging on the branches of a metal tree. They were large and looked more like onion rings. Not bad, but I prefer lighter batter. Also, see the subreddit WeWantPlates, hehe) - spicy seafood salad (fresh and bountiful amount of seafood) - steamed mussels in lemongrass basil broth (mussels were plump and tender and the broth was so good--my favorite) - Singha beer Service was prompt, and the prices reasonable. Very good first impression, would try again.
