Just ordered delivery. Got deep fried tofu and pad see ew. Both were just delicious and very generous portions. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Happy New year and we ordered soups to cure hangovers, so maybe we were hungry but everything was tasty. Yes it's a casual spot, no need dress up fancy kine. Just roll out of bed and pick a table to sit. Yes it's not the 'best' in LB but the day after New Year's celebration, this hit the spot, straight up. Not too many people when we came in and I like it that way. More for me, me first, I get all the attention and maybe extras too. I'm not like the masses and the sheeple that rely on standing around for a table, waiting for a table to be cleaned, waiting for the menu, waiting for water, ugh....such a headache to be sheeple to keep on WAITING. I'm no fool to keep on waiting but yah if you want to rate a restaurant on the lack of people dining, you are missing out, how you figga dat kine mentality. Headache! No need on New Year's day for me. It took a while for our soups to come out so I think the quality is there as if you were dining at the many Thai eateries around LB. Coconut chicken soup, tasty. Portions big. Hot and sour shrimp soup, tasty too. Noodles soup (not Pho) but Thai kine soup and probably good enough for 3 meals (whoops, da pidgin in me came out again, auwe) whatevs, it was good enough for us, easy on the wallets, and will definitely be back. They have a lunch special from 11-3pm so I'll check that out as well. read more

This place is becoming our local go to for nights when cooking is out of the question. Usually bounce between the BBQ ribs (of course) and one of the curries. My wife digs the ginger chicken. Their soups are always a good standard. They have some of the most tender beef satay I've ever had. The atmosphere is stuck in the early 90's and a little on the cold (AC) side but I think it keeps out the random snobs. Everyone that dines there seems to be a regular and the staff is very friendly. In the short few weeks we've started going they seem to recognize us already. Looking forward to trying some of the other recommended dishes! read more

This is the best Thai food I've found in Long Beach so far for the price! The Thai egg rolls are so good! Staff is very nice.

You can never go wrong when ordering from Thai BBQ. We live right around the corner and this is our favorite go to spot. From the house special to the fried tofu & spring rolls we love it all. We have tried pretty much everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. Plus the customer service is always on point. We love it here and we always recommend eating here to our friends and family. read more

I ordered Shrimp Pad Thai, beef satay, and potstickers. All trash!!! My pad Thai had 3 or 4 shrimp!!!!!! I didn't ask for caviar. I ordered shrimp. Is shrimp an endangered species??? Are there no more in the ocean??? I think that if you name a plate SHRIMP Pad Thai, then maybe SHRIMP needs to be a key component in the dish. There were more Bean Sprouts than Shrimp. Might as well call it Bean Sprouts Pad Thai!!! This isn't funny. I spent $45 on this meal and it wouldn't have been a problem if the food was good. I had to cook my satay a little longer. And my potstickers were hard as fuck!!!! They weren't hard af! They were hard as fuckkk !!!!!! This order really made me contact the BBB. Like, who is allowing this place to continue to serve people. I've seen dirty establishments serve better food than this place!!!!!! Crazy! Never again. Matter of fact, I'm going to the swap meet today to get a shirt saying how terrible your food is and I'm just gonna walk around Long Beach until everyone sees me. lol I'm done. Is that long enough for you yelp???? You all kill me with judgement on the lengths of my reviews. lol read more

Thai Barbeque - What's in this photo? That's the question. Bubu is the answer. Straight garbetto (garbage for those who don't know). - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

The ribs and beef satay were GREAT! The food was prepared on time and pick up was quick and seamless. Thanks!

The food is great all the time! But he reason why I am giving 2 stars is because of the delivery service. I ordered online through eat24. My order was supposed to arrive at a certain time but it was late. Once my order arrived the driver was very rude. He stated that my house was too far and to order from somewhere else. He also stated that I should have not called and complained that he was late. He said there was only a 3 mile radius, if there is a certain amount of miles for delivery please state that. As a paying customer you should never be told that. That was very disappointing and very rude of he driver to deliver the food and tell you things like that. Please Thai bbq if there is an issue with delivery distance please fix it as the food is great. read more

Super cheap Thai food! The place is unassuming. The staff could be a bit friendlier but the food does it!

They do peanut satay really well, as well as the curries. For some reason this place tastes JUST like another Thai original BBQ, which is strange. There is a certain flavor that seems to be a signature.... read more

The meals/plates have such good prices for taste, size, overall delivery... The 4 stars goes to the food and pricing but didn't put 5 because the overall ambiance was lacking. The little things! The details aren't quite there! read more

We've enjoyed this location in Long Beach also the Carson and Cerritos locations. BEST Thai food!!! I've tried several not even close!

Delicious food, great service! The cashew chicken was bomb. The bbq chicken was juicy and flavorful. read more

Other than great food and fast delivery, this place gave me a free thai ice tea for ordering delivery 2x this week. U guys are cool!

While I have to say Long Beach Thai is a little bit better, the food here is still top notch. The food is ready a lot faster at a much better price. This is my go to for Thai food. read more

Very rude people in answering the phone.. while your ordering you will be ask to be on hold while in the middle of a transaction...

This was my first time trying their food, it was ok it could have been better if they used more fresh vegetables. Many people were there for pick up or delivery. Maybe I'll try them again read more

Delicious Thai food at a very affordable price. Ate at the restaurant family style and I highly recommend the shrimp Pad See Ew and the Beef Satay. We will be coming back the next time we are in the LBC. read more

Good thai BBQ place in Long Beach. Tasty food. Their serving for regular order is pretty decent but for the lunch specials don't expect much. read more

We ordered the chicken Panang curry, Tom kha soup, and pad Thai. I would say that for the price this is a very good bargain and high quality food for the price. They offer good service and convenience pick up. It may not be the highest quality ever, but a good value for a quick Thai pick me up! read more

The food quality has declined. I used to order from here and was please with large portions and authentic flavors. Now they give you half the amount for the same price and it just taste like oil and sugar on noodles. You've been warned. read more

I had it delivered and it came super quick!! The food was just average. My pad Thai noodles were a lump of noodles and I couldn't separate them for nothing. frustrating----- The original Thai in LA is better I think. The prices were pretty good for the most part. read more

Just tried this place for the first time today and literally the best yellow curry I've ever had!!

The first thing I notice was the proximity of this Thai food place when I moved to Long Beach. But the excitement was premature when I finally stopped by. The food was pretty bland but luckily there were enough sauces and peppers on the table to make it somewhat edible. read more

I've ordered delivery from here twice in the past few weeks, and not only is the food delivered prior to when promised... it taste outfuckenstanding! read more

I came here with my friend from Thailand. We got the tom ka soup, pineapple curry, cashew tofu, and spring rolls. It was all really fresh and delicious. The Thai tea was also awesome! I've read a lot of the recent negative reviews and it just seems like some people are impossible to please. Try working with the business to correct what you think is wrong before writing a negative review - everyone makes mistakes including you. read more

Excellence soooo close to home. Pineapple Chicken Curry, chicken egg rolls, cream cheese wontons, chicken stuffed with crab meat ... all was devoured within 30 minutes. I have driven by many times but never had the desire to stop by for a quick peek. We found this place on Yelp and ordered out. I am happy with the service, the food and the prices. My belly is resting right now as I watch True Blood and sip on a Thai Iced Tea. Buuuuurp. read more

Not sure why this place doesn't have 5 stars. Their food is excellent! I think because a lot of Long Beach foodies seek out the fancier places, they overlook hidden gems like Thair Original BBQ. I compared two Pad Thai dishes I had, one from the 5-star reviewed restaurant called "Thai District" in downtown, and one from Thai Original BBQ. Hands down Thai Original BBQ wins for the quality of food. Their Pad Thai, Ribs, Pad See Ew are delicious and have a complex flavor. On the other hand, the Pad Thai I had from the Thai District place was not good, very flat in flavor and didn't taste much like pad thai at all. Beyond the food being great, and the portions being generous, the staff at Thai Original BBQ is super friendly and professional. Is the place good for a first date? Maybe not. Maybe a second, more casual date. The place is very casual in the atmosphere but not unappealing. I usually do take out, but I wouldn't mind dining in. read more

I love the food but the service was horrible when I came here with my coworkers! My coworker Romlind and I got here first of the rest of our group and this older Asian woman server sat us down at a corner table. Then left us alone for a good 5 mins. Not even asking us if we wanted something to drink while we wait for the rest of our party? After a few minutes, we finally grabbed her attention so we could make the lunch specials ending at 3 (We got there at 2:45). She didn't even come to us when we got her attention, she just asked from across the room where she was at, "What do you want?" Oh wow, can we order now or should I yell my order to you? The rest of the coworkers came and she began to take our orders. I ordered the L1 which is the lunch special version of the S1 (BBQ chicken and rice) and the chicken was definitely on the dry side. Oh and it also comes with this sweet and sour sauce, which I think really completes the meal and this lady who was already getting on my last nerves spilled my sauce all over my rice on the way to the table. She just said, "Oh, sorry I spilled it" then takes off right away. So here I'm thinking, "It's okay, she went right away to get me a new one". Wrong. 5 minutes later I see her taking orders and serving food? What effing server spills your food then doesn't replace it? Had to flag her down again and literally I asked, "Excuse me, can you get me more of that sweet and sour sauce that you spilled and didn't replace? Thank you". Worst service and food was dissapointing. The one in Chino Hills is waaaaay better and is the one we frequent whenever I'm down at my parents house. I think I'll just stick to that one because not only is the food delicious there, the service is always amazing! read more

This was once my favorite Thai delivery. However, on my recent delivery, when I called to place my order, they told me that it would take 20-30 minutes. Well it's now been one hour and no delivery. When I called back she told me that the drive left a while ago and he had a few deliveries. If it was going to take an hour, just be honest and upfront and tell me! read more

Not as great as i was expecting. The pad thai was kinda greasy and the food wasn't as flavorful as other Thai that i've had for less money. Our server and everyone that worked there were Thai, so it was relatively authentic. Since it's called Thai BBQ, perhaps what they do best is chicken and beef dishes and all we had were veggie and shrimp dishes. Even their veggie dishes were cooked in oyster sauce and obviously i can't consider that to be vegetarian and didn't seem to have that much veggies. Eh, not too healthy of a choice and i probably won't go back there agian because there are better, healthier and cheaper choices for Thai food in Long Beach, but like i said, it wasn't horrible. read more

I've been going here since I was a sophomore in college. I've been to a good amount of Thai restaurants and this is my favorite place to eat Thai food. It's quick, it's delicious, and I somehow always get parking even though the lot is tiny and is shared by a few businesses. I go there at least twice a month and the waitresses know my order before I even say it. I've only ever tried the curry, the pad see ew, and their shrimp dishes; however, I always order the basil shrimp (mild). The sauce in the dish is my favorite; it's *so* good with rice. I always leave my plate pretty clean, with the exception of the chilis. My boyfriend always orders panang curry with chicken since he considers it the best panang he's ever had. The Thai Iced Tea can sometimes be a little too sweet, but it's not bad. read more

I swear I've Yelped this place before. Anyway, everyone knows I'm a lazy mofo so I mostly get Thai BBQ delivered. I like them for this because they take their time on the phone with you & they repeat the order back to you. (most places rush off the phone like their butt is on fire) Also, they get your food to you quick-style! You're pretty much guaranteed satisfaction if you order any of these: -crab rangoon (appetizer) -pad see ew -ANY of their soups -yellow curry They're a strong contributor to my thunder thighs. THANKS THAI BBQ! =/ read more

another place i cant believe i havent reviewed yet. All i really have to say is that if you've never tried thai food, original thai bbq restaurants are a consistently decent introduction into the genre. Of all Original Thai BBQ locations ive ever been (cerritos, carson, fullerton, etc...) this ones my favorite. Yes, its in a "scaaary" strip mall in long beach that sometimes has no parking, but i like it, its right off 7th. Why a favorite? The staff are nice. They're attentive and it doesnt kill them to genuinely smile every now and then. Other locations, especially cerritos, the staff can be pretty damn rude and outrageously inattentive. My favorite items i used to be able to list by number but i have since learned that while a lot of them do, not all thai bbq use the same menu numbers, so i'll just list: -the beef satay. Its the quintessential thai dish (esp. if you're filipino) tender skewers of beef or chicken with cucumber salad and peanut sauce. yummm -the pork ribs. They're always tender, never ever had a bad dish of ribs. also comes with this overpoweringly sweet syrupy sauce. -the fried spring rolls. Always mouth-searing hot, but always simply delicious. Also served with a really sweet syrupy sauce that goes well with the rolls. -the tom yum soup. Its a clear broth soup with carrots, onions, lemongrass, mushrooms and chicken. (theres probably more things but thats what i know) Its simple, light and good. The presentation is nice, it comes in a hot pot with real flames coming out the top, which is a flair akin to that of sizzling fajita plates at mexican restaurants. Also deserving special mention is the bbq chicken, its a rustic slab of chicken and dipping sauce, its ok, but not great. I like the jasmine rice with shrimp that comes with every entree. Its good on its own and well, has whole shrimp on top. They also have a good, standard thai tea and thai ice coffee. All the other stuff is decent, I dont think anything is bad, really, but the above mentioned items are what i believe to be the standout dishes. Decor is minimal, they have a fish tank and chinese zodiac placemats and i think thats as far as they go. So Thai BBQ is a good place for thai food and this one is easy to find and the people are genuinely nicer than other locations. read more

We were looking for a quick place to eat with decent food after a long day. We just moved to LB and have been exploring the various restaurants, so we literally just happened upon this place after driving around for a while and hunger finally getting the better of us. I wasn't too sure about it when we first walked in as its a small place in an old retail strip. It's a little dingy and out dated, but don't let it fool you. The food was great and the portion sizes make it well worth your money. I had a simple plate of chicken fried rice, which was no nonsense and delicious and my boyfriend had the rad nar, which was perfect. read more

No thank you. For $40 for 2 people, I'd rather buy 400 cup of noodles worth. Okay, a bit mean, but seriously, I waited over an hour for my food to be delivered, the food came warm, but the quality and recipe was not up to par. I think it's easier to obsess over Thai Spice than this restaurant, then again, I think Thai Spice is only an OC chain, but I guess that's what it takes to get some good Thai food around here... Thai Sky is pretty good too. Next time, I stick to what I knwo when it comes to Thai I guess. This is like the 4th fail. Boooooo. read more

The food here was very sweet overall, which left me not really satisfied but also not wanting to eat more. Taken as individual components, nothing was actually bad except my BBQ combo. The meat was nicely tender, which I appreciated, but the marinade was incredibly sweet, just impossible to square with the fact that this was dinner and not dessert I could only eat half of it. The accompanying 'shrimp fried rice' did not help, and I put it in quotes because it was basically just orange-tinted rice with a few shrimps and curls of egg sitting on top. I appreciated that their crab rangoon had real crab in them, although not much of it. I liked the yellow curry's flavor and deep orange almost pumpkin-soupy color. The basil beef was nicely spicy but also strangely sweet for a dish that has no room for sugar. Where'd they put it? In the oil? read more

Sad to see such negative reviews. We have ordered take out multiple times and it's always been hot and well prepared. Very delicious green curry, chicken satay and pad Thai. Decently large portions. read more

They must have new owners? I totally agree with Liz R. The pad thai is now a thinner noodle and not oily at all! Nice and fresh and it even held its integrity as it was even delivered. I like it! I also ordered a garlic beef dish and it was great - thinly sliced beef with lots of pepper and garlic sauteed with bok choy. Lots of flavor and very tender. The people that usually take my phone order had a very hard time deciphering what I was saying so I had to speak extra slow when I have never had a problem in the past. Hmm interesting, I like this place even more now. read more

Delivery? Yes!, quick and yummy! My friends (who only ever order pizza in) love it when I'm the one deciding on dinner and a movie at my place. They don't even help me choose the menu, because I like to do it family style and they're never disappointed. Pad Thai and crab langoon to start, chicken sate', spicy shrimp, and basil beef. At least 5 other favorites I won't mention here. When eating in, go for the Tom Yum Goong soup, too. Shrimp and mushrooms in a hot n sour soup. Served in a huge stainless bowl with a sterno underneath. Enough for 4 at $7.75. Another place I would have probaby never tried by just driving by, but thanks to buddy Brian F., who is much more adventurous than me. On my top 2 list of Thai places within 20 miles for sure! read more
