    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

    I very much enjoy coming to eat at ETC. The staff is very friendly and attentive and yesterday…read moreshowed me why I enjoy this place so much. We were sitting at the bar yesterday evening and a rude customer had treated the female staff poorly and caused a scene, the general manager handled the aggressive customer with grace and respect. We come here often and we hate to see the staff be treated that way.. the restaurant was clearly very busy (as they can be during the summer rush) and the staff was doing their best and apologetic towards the guests until the husband got agitated and aggressive. The GM had kindly attempted to deescalate the situation but was met with disrespect.

    This review is long overdue…read more I've been coming here on and off for the past two years since moving to the area, and every time I give the sushi another chance, it disappoints. This last visit (April 18) was the worst yet. The drinks are actually great, the bartenders know what they're doing. That's the only redeeming part of this place. Now the sushi... completely different story. It took an hour to get a lobster roll, and what showed up had little to no lobster. It was mostly shrimp, not even a mix, and to make it worse, there was visible shrimp vein (yes, the poop tract) still in it. Completely unacceptable, especially for something being sold as a lobster roll. (See photo.) It also took another hour to get just three types of sushi, and the yellowtail was cut poorly, chewy and full of muscle, not clean or fresh. At this point, this isn't a one-off experience, it's a pattern. I've given this place multiple chances, and the food quality and timing consistently miss the mark. If you want good sushi, skip this place. If you want solid cocktails, sit at the bar and leave it at that.
