Thai bite is the best Thai restaurant in all of OC! The food is always phenomenal and the service is outstanding. We absolutely love this place and like to come as a family at least once a week! read more

Our go to Thai restaurant! Crying tiger is a must if you like steak. The sauce it comes with, a spicy lemongrass sauce- is sooo good! Pad Thai is always a hit, yellow curry is so good, wish there was a little more chicken in it but the curry is delicious flavor- carrots potatoes onions- yum! My kids always crush the dim sum and chicken satay as well. We do take out with them pretty often, it's always prompt and done correctly - very nice staff! read more

First time ordering from Thai Bite and it was outstanding. I ordered my favorite dish, Chicken Pumpkin Curry, mild - it was wonderful. I took out but next time will eat in, they have a very relaxing and elegant dining area. Strongly recommend; great price, and great value. Happy to have found such a great Thai meal in my hood! read more

My friend lives near here and every time I visit I make sure we drop by for a take out or sit-down meal. I love the soups, love the salads too. Lots of vegetarian options too. Would highly recommend! read more

Honestly the pad Thai was mid. 7/10 Noodles barely had texture, was too soft and not saucey? Idk I like my pad Thai glistening and delicious. It wasn't BAD but I would not spend money on it again tbh. It was giving scooped from a big batch that was sitting on a lamp heated tray (no disrespect just my honest review and opinion, I just like my food fresh). I just expected more for $45 for 2 dishes. I'm sorry it did not hit. Noodles too mushy for me. But at least there was a decent amount of meat! So that was a good thing. And I will say it was a big serving! the crying tiger was good! I loved the sauce flavor with the meat. 8/10 Got my items to go and was not given any napkins or utensils, when I asked she gave me exactly 2 napkins. Overall C+ for this place, I don't know if I would recommend it or come back but it's not terrible. read more

Updating my once 4 star to a more appropriate 1 star review. I'm glad I stopped coming here and dealing with their crap service/ attitude. I used to come weekly if not daily. After numerous service related issues I just had to go else where. Foods marginal. read more

Great food. If you eat in instead of take out, you'll like the ambiance. The Laguna Niguel location is the best of the two.

Wonderful Thai restaurant. Every dish here is delicious but I specifically recommend the pad see ew with beef. The portion size is generous, with plenty of meat and noodles. I also enjoy the cozy ambiance. Service is great. read more

I've tried this spot twice now. The first time was for take out for their Tom yum soup. It was hella sweet. Came here again to dine in the other day, and literally everything was hella sweet. Their pad see ew was mushy and way too sweet. I also tried their seafood pad kra and it barely had any seafood in it nor did it have that basil flavor. Was left super disappointed. read more

I used to be a customer at Thai Bite but will not be anymore after being rudely treated by an employee today! Gave me rude attitude and answered my questions in a rude way. Just because when I walked in while I was looking at the menu apparently he asked me if he can help me but I did not hear him. So he decided it was ok to not help me or take my order even though when he said he asked me multiple times I said I'm sorry I didn't hear you, and then he was still giving me attitude and answering my questions in a rude way. So I said you know what I'm not going to order so he then is happy to turn his back and walk away! So much for customer service and being kind to customers! If your employees are having a rough day or are overworked or unable to be pleasant with customers please don't have them deal with customers. read more

I had chicken pad thai and it was alright. Too liquidy and too sweet. Needs more tamarind imo.

Lunch menu was a great value. Had the crying tiger with soup & salad. Meat was very flavorful & tender. Service was pleasant and attentive. Restaurant was clean and well maintained. read more

My very favorite thai food. Get the Panang Curry. It haunts me, could eat it every day.

I visited this place for the first time, always forgetting it's there and I was mind blown by their crying Tiger & Thai iced tea that I went back the next day for a bigger to go order so I can put my fam on it! Mind you, I am Thai/Lao & grew up eating authentic foods so I know my stuff. I was underwhelmed by the papaya salad though because it's a well-known staple in Thai/Lao cuisine. It has no flavor or spice! I was so sad, because this was the main thing I came for. I really wanted sticky rice, bbq chicken or steak and bomb papaya salad but it did not deliver on that part. I'd you're looking for the best crying Tiger and Thai tea, this spot is for you. The lime chili sauce for the crying Tiger is like liquid GOLD. It's amazingly delicious! Perfect tang and spice, it is addicting. The steak was already flavorful alone, but mix the sauce with their hot rice and steak and there is a flavor EXPLOSION. Their pad Thai is up there too, I've had so many pad Thais from homemade to restaurants and I rate it like an 8 up against the rest. So it's good! My boy and I both declared their Thai tea is the best we have ever had and yes, I have had homemade and at other places too. Eaten this type of food all my life and those are the highlights I have from here. The service was okay, like. 6.5 out of 10 I'd say. Friendly enough, but nothing spectacular. Highly recommend and my new go to Thai spot in my city! I'm obsessed. read more

Great as always. I had the Yellow curry and my wife had the crying tiger. Both were wonderful. The crying tiger was moist and tender and the yellow curry was just as good. read more

Love the flavors and consistency. Crying Tiger and Yellow Curry are our favorites. The ability to add spicy volume is appreciated

The service here is horrible! The workers have a bad attitude. Especially the Hispanic man in the front. I placed an order for pick up during my lunch for 12:10 and it wasn't ready till 12:30. I told them I was on my lunch and I placed an order to be ready at 12:10 not 12:30. The Hispanic man yelled at my friend and I saying it's super busy and next time to call in, we did call in since 11:45. One time we dine in and I had book a reservation and when he walked in he said we didn't have one, he also didn't serve us well at all until it was time to get our check because he wanted good tip. Turns out my coworkers cousins aunt owns the restaurant so I'll be sure to let her know the service this man provided read more

This site is the worst. Servers are so unfriendly. The managers do nothing to help as they don't smile either. The food is hot and miss. The beef dishes can come out great at times and like beef jerky the next. The curry has good flavor but often watery. It's a gamble if you chose to eat here. Personally I am going somewhere else from now on. read more

Delicious food. My wife, daughter, and I went here before going to a movie and I'm glad we did. The location was great and had ample parking. The service was great and the setting was very comfortable and relaxing. Everything we had was delicious. The spring rolls were probably the best I've had in an Asian restaurant, with great flavor and very good texture (wrapper, light, etc). The soup that came with our meals also had great flavor. My Crying Tiger, although not really spicy (good for those with low tolerance) was very good. My daughter's Lovely Eggplant was so good. And you could taste the smokiness of the eggplant. And my wife's Pa Nang curry was equally delicious. I was very impressed with the food here. read more

We like Thai Bite. I had Beef Panang. The flavors were delicious, but the pieces of beef need to be thinner. What I had were similar to 1" square cubes. I had to ask for a knife. Other beef dishes had thin strips of meat. I think this would be better. The meat could be more tender and require less effort to eat the dish. The iced tea was refreshing. The restaurant looked busy, which is a good thing because people enjoy the dishes they serve. Look forward to going back. read more

Food (5/5 stars): Loved the flavor of the Crying Tiger, especially with the spicy lemon sauce. Satisfying meal! Experience (5/5 stars): We picked up and the price was reasonable read more

This is currently my favorite Thai restaurant in Orange County. Three food is always tasty.

First time trying this location. I ordered the crying tiger. It was so simple delicious I almost forgot to take a pic! The meet was super tender and flavorful. The winner for me though was the crying tiger sauce. It's a citrus based sauce. It had spice but not too strong, I highly recommend. read more

Tasty but level 4 spicy is sweet to me because they use bell peppers instead of Thai chili peppers. Southeast Asians do not eat bell peppers. read more

Food is tasty and delicious. Customer service was excellent, from start to finish. Restaurant is clean. Highly recommend!

I'm so sad. The food is SO SWEET. Way too sweet. I ordered a Pad Thai and asked for it to be spicy with extra sprouts. There are no sprouts and there is no spice. But it's so sweet it tastes like a dessert. I don't like leaving negative reviews because it has an impact on the business, but please if you see this stop making the food so sweet! I can't even eat it. read more

Lunch here today. Great service. Nice dining area. A lot of specials to choose from ranging between $14 and $18, include soup , salad and rice. I had the pad Thai with seafood.,everything was very good. If I was local I'd definitely be back. read more

It was a chilly day, not quite rainy, but soup was necessary. I know Thai Bite place has been a spot on my "to do list" and I'm glad to have gone. The staff here was friendly and quick to check in regularly to see if each table was enjoying their stay and food. I ordered the hot Tom yum soup at their spiciest level; for those who like a spicy Thai meal I wouldn't say this place hits that mark. Nevertheless the food was made well, hot, and yummy. Their prices are totally reasonable too. It's both family friendly and a good spot to come for a relaxing lunch or dinner. Good little place. read more

I've been going to Thai Bite for decades. I love the Yum Yai & I get it each time I visit. Well, we visited today, 45min before their 3pm (lunchtime) closing. The place was very quiet, so there wasn't a concern about finding an open table. We were offered a two-person table for our group of three. Of course, we knew we wouldn't fit & asked for a larger table. Tony, our server, grumbled about it, but sat us down. Tony, looking anxious, then emphasized that the kitchen would be closing soon & that we should order immediately, before the Lunch Specials were still available. We took his word seriously & proceeded to ask questions about the availability of our favorite dishes. It appears we weren't following Tony's agenda. At this point, Tony only wanted to only take orders for drinks. We were taking his words seriously and we wanted to get our food orders into the kitchen. Knowing that things were likely to get more tense, we made a decision. We could tell Tony saw us as an inconvenience. So, we got up and left. read more

Thai Bite - My favorite dish. - Thai Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

This is no doubt one of the best Thai places in town. I only dined in once, but have ordered out a few times. I enjoyed all the dished (that we ordered) so far: pad Thai, green curry, crying tiger, pad see ew, pineapple fried rice, tom yum, pad kee mao, etc. We recently came back for lunch special - such a great deal! We got pad Thai and crying tiger - came with a side of salad, rice, dipping sauce, and a soup (that soup was delicious by the way. I wish I knew what it's called). The portion was great. Even had some leftover to enjoy the next day. The only down side was that the pad Thai was a little bit more oily than usual. Service is always great and fast. Staff is friendly. Overall, highly recommend this place! read more

Worst Thai food I've ever had! If you try it, DON'T order off the lunch menu! Swear they're serving the nigh befores leftovers

Great Thai food, nice cozy atmosphere, Crying Tiger was fantastic as was their Pad Thai.

Well shoot, I have ordered the lunch special here and I guess I ordered a good one! Thought it was a great deal, main dish, salad, app and soup. Yesterday I ordered a small soup and some spring rolls instead. TOTAL CRAP! So disappointed that I will probably never eat here again. The soup was straight up water and filled with OLD overcooked pork chunks, the wontons were old and hard. The spring rolls seemed to be filled with some kind of mixture that resembled dog food. In top of that I payed $20 bucks for this terrible lunch. Sorry, you guys need to be more consistent and stop cutting quality to save a couple bucks read more

4-1/2 stars. Compared to its rival Beyond Thai, Thai Bite offers a slightly-better deal for its portions and quality (about $1-2 cheaper per dish). Got the standard green curry, Pad thai, and summer rolls, as well as the Hot Basil Rice. There wasn't the option to choose spice level when ordering on the phone, which I found strange, but in any case, take-out was a seamless process. I found the quality and taste of the Pad thai and summer rolls to be more flavorful and seasoned than those of Beyond Thai, and the Hot Basil Rice was absolutely delicious (even if a bit overly greasy). However, Beyond Thai's green curry still wins, as I found Thai Bite's to be too mild and bland for my own taste-- perhaps if I'd asked for spicier, it would be a better match between the two Thai restaurants. If I had to choose, I'd say Thai Bite over Beyond Thai, mainly for the quality and price. I also liked how Thai Bite came with exactly three summer rolls, as there are three of us who eat together; Beyond Thai only serves two summer rolls per order, so two orders are needed to feed us. Details aside, I think Thai Bite is consistently-solid (despite the lackluster green curry), and it's a good go-to for Thai food, should you be craving it! read more

One of best Thai places! Had take out last night. Take out is always busy here. Ordered Lemon Chicken. It was delicious and it's bomb. I recommend you to order it. Their crying tiger is to die for. Had pad kee-mow which was delicious as well. Their take out portions are kind of big compared to other Thai places I have been to. read more

I had every intention of taking photos of our order but we were getting pretty hangry so we dove in before any photos could be had. The Crying Tiger is fantastic and must be coated with the supplied sauce which is much like a thin vinaigrette. Be forewarned that this is Thai food so it has a kick to it. Kind of like Elaine dancing. The Chicken Satay is on the appetizer menu and comes with 5 skewers and a Peanut sauce that is far better than most you have tried before. Will we go back? Yes! It gets very busy around 530 to 6 each night so call ahead. If you order in person it's about a 20 minute wait. Well worth it. read more

I've been here a few times already since my work is nearby. This is my coworkers and I favorite thai spot for lunch. I have had their pad thai, green curry, and eggplant dish. All of their lunch dishes comes with a side of soup, salad, and rice. The portions of the plate is a good size and will definitely fill you up. All 3 of the dishes that I order are my favorite! The pad thai is not dry and not too wet, which is just the way I like it. It has a lot of flavor and goes great with the side salad. The green curry is very creamy and flavorful. They load it up with chicken and bamboo shoots. The eggplant has so much flavor and is peppery from the black pepper. It is a bit spicy but so good at the same time. The service is always great here! The workers are really welcoming and nice and really fast. We normally come in and leave pretty quick because the service is fast here. We also never had to wait for a table. Plenty of parking but does get busy during the lunch rush hour. read more

I usually don't write reviews but I ordered the rard nah which usually has a lot seasoning or flavor but it was very bland like American food I've ordered from them many times and everything else is good. I paid $40 for 2 items. The pad kaprow was good but not spicey at all. I did not ask for mild spice either. I appreciate the effort though. The service was great, I ordered for take out. read more
