    Pad Thai with tofu
    Minnie D.

    If you're looking for great Thai food, this place is definitely worth a visit. I ordered Pad Thai and papaya salad. Everything tasted fresh and made to order. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes!

    Cute little spot! I think the owner is Lao. We ordered the Thai-style papaya salad and they nailed it -- it honestly tastes just like Thailand, my country . We asked for medium spicy, and it was a bit spicier than I expected, but I loved it so much. The Pad Thai is super flavorful, and the chicken was juicy and not dry at all like it's often overcooked elsewhere. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Definitely coming back!

    I came here with a friend on a Thursday afternoon not expecting much as Corona is not known for their Thai food. It was located in a small step plaza and parking was very convenient. The manager of the restaurant is the owner's daughter and she was very pleasant and keeps the place immaculate. Everything was nice and clean. The menu captures all of the traditional Thai dishes and everything was made from scratch when you order. The food came out nice and hot and tasted like home cooking to me. It was different from other mainstream Thai restaurants but it was still good. It was not very busy when we went but it was past the lunch hour. It was nice to be able to hear each other talk unlike some of the trendy restaurants these days. If you're in Corona and craving Asian food, this is a nice place to stop by!

    Restaurant is located in a small strip mall right off of the 91fwy. Found it based on Yelp and were hungry to stop by as we allow traffic to stop. Sunday lunch was empty. People were friendly, ordered the following: Crab fried rice -$21 Pad see ew -$15 Tom yum shrimp -$13 Chicken satay $13 Thai coffee $6 Chicken satay and Tom yum is good. A bit pricey for the amount of Tom yum, the other noodle / rice was ok. Nothing worth mentioning. Good service.

    I went here with my mom and sister for some lunch. Wonderful service, they clearly strive very hard to provide the best service possible. The food was delicious, absolutely amazing. I love Thai food, and have tried many different restaurants, this place moved itself to first place on my list. The environment of the place is very homey, and authentic. I loved it here, and definitely will be coming back.

    Food, service, and ambiance were a 10/10 My only thing was that the portions were pretty small, however, the quality of the food was superb! The establishment is well kept and four of us, we spent $78.

    Level 10 papaya salad
    Rodo C.

    Decided to try a new Thai spot. I ordered papaya salad and yellow curry. Both level 10 spicy. They make 2 types of papaya salad Isan style (with fish sauce) and Bangkok style (no fish sauce) They have a tv playing modern American music, and it was pretty laid back. Not too loud. Food came out quick and it was very savory and flavorful type of spice. Not the burn your mouth, I enjoyable type of spice. The papaya salad reminded me of the papaya salad in Hua Hin Thailand- it had a strong crab flavor. I'll visit again if I'm in the area

When we arrived, we were…read moretold to sign in to the waitlist but I had already checked in online (great option if you don't want to wait too long), the host sorted it out quickly and had us seated within a few minutes. She initially sat us inside, but when we asked to move to the patio, she gladly accommodated with a smile! As soon as we sat down, we were immediately brought waters and utensils. The outdoor patio is super cute and clean (just a heads up if you hate flies, they were a little annoying, but that's outdoor seating for you!). We waited a bit for the food, but it was worth it. I ordered the crème brûlée French toast with a side of crispy bacon, and it was so yummy-the sugar coating was perfectly crunchy and the center was nice and moist, plus it came with delicious cream and berries. My husband got the kimchi omelette (which had spam and pork) and the seasoning was absolutely perfect. Luckily it wasn't too busy today so that made the visit that much better. Overall, a great spot with lovely ambiance and service. Highly recommend for a tasty brunch if you're in the area!

The first time I visited, I had to sit outside, and the staff even brought out a fan to help keep the flies away, which I thought was such a thoughtful touch. So far, I've tried the longanisa bowl, fluffy ube mango pancakes, pork belly bowl, and chicken bowl, and every dish has been delicious. I especially love that the fluffy pancakes aren't overly sweet, so they're perfectly balanced. My favorite dish is definitely the longanisa bowl. I also got the Pandan latte, in which I wasn't a big fan of.

I saw a review that it's a bit saucy, which it is but if it's your first time and not a big fan of the saucyness just be advices! Tell them light sauce But personally I really like it! The sauce gets absorbed in my white rice and it gives everything a really really nice flavor. This was actually the very first spot that I tried poke for the first time.

They did indeed fill the bowl up very well which I was happy about! But unfortunately both my friend and I left a bit disappointed since we both felt our bowls were overly saucy. And I'm usually a very saucy girl! I only asked for 2 different sauces, the OG and the ponzu, but I felt like it left the whole bowl feeling really thick and creamy plus a little overly salty whereas I prefer when the fish and toppings stand out instead. As for the business itself it's a small place with a few tables in the back which is where we sat. The woman that served us was able to keep up with the amount of toppings I was throwing out (with 1 mistake) and service was pretty quick. I always like when I'm able to see the food being made. They also had a small ice chest with different melona flavors and since I love the green melon flavor I got one! It's rare to find in restaurants so I was happy with that!
