    Menu 2/4 stir-fried dishes
    Ed L.

    Thai Garden is located in the Foothill Plaza, at the corner of Portola Pkwy and Glenn Ranch Road, next to the Marriott Courtyard and Orange theory Fitness. It is a Thai oasis to enjoy Thai food in a relaxed surroundings. I discovered today that all entrees, fried rice/noodles are available as lunch specials, i.e. with free soup. The soup of the day today is Thai noodle soup. I could kick myself for not having it before for it is amazing. I would come back on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays for the Thai noodle soup if nothing else. I was thinking about drunken noodles earlier but ordered the spicy eggplant instead. I told my server I want it really really spicy but it was just mild. Thai Garden is a great place to enjoy good food, good service and good vibes.

    Panang curry - so good

    It's been a while since we last dined here due to my very last order that we weren't happy with. We wanted Thai food but due to time constraints, we went to Thai Garden as it was the closest. The restaurant is still as nice and clean as when they first opened. One of the workers here, I forget his name, has been here for a very long time. He recognized my husband even after our long absence. That was actually cool to be remembered. He was his usual friendly self. Our server and other team members were very attentive throughout our dining experience. What we ordered this time: 1) Pad-see-ew with tofu - we always have to order this with extra noodles because they don't give you very much in comparison to other restaurants. They're more generous with the protein and veggies. The noodles were delicious, however, I wish they wouldn't charge an extra $8.00 for the extra noodles. As you can see in my photo, it doesn't look like extra noodles. It just looks like the portion other restaurants give without the extra fee. 2) Panang curry with pork - the sauce was amazing as usual but the pork was a bit on the dry side 3) crying tiger - delicious and tender as always 4) Larb - I didn't order it this time but this is a go-to here. 5) papaya salad - another dish I didn't order this time around but is a must-have for me. Overall it's more like a 3.5 out of 5 for me due to the dry pork and the fee for extra noodles, but since I can't do 1/2 points, let's just do a 4. Service is really good, staff attentive, and flavors are absolutely delicious. Would I return? Yes, yes I would if I couldn't get to my favorite place in RSM.

    Pad Thai, beef satay, spring rolls

    Thai Garden is a quaint restaurant in Foothill Ranch that is a bit of a treasure. Not fancy, but simple and clean. We visited with our soccer family at the request of my son to have Thai food. I personally look at not only the ratings but the pics of the food in order to determine if we should go to a place - this had some good pictures that looked enticing. But after eating there, the original pics did not do this place justice. We ordered the shrimp and veggie spring rolls, bamboo shoots veggie dish, beef satay, chicken pad Thai, and a pad see ew. That was last night - it's morning and I'm still thinking about the yummy flavors in my mouth! The spring rolls were good - well wrapped and filled with a perfectly made peanut sauce to dip it in. The bamboo shoots dish came with a plethora of vegetables and was mildly to moderately spicy in a good way. My favorites were definitely the beef satay which was cool to perfection and the pad Thai - very well done - and I've been eating at different Thai places since I was a teenager! The noodles were on point with the texture, the flavor was saturated throughout every bite, so yummy! I did not try the pad see ew but it looked really good. Love the quantity given and the high quality of the food. Our meals fed three very hungry JV soccer players and four famished parents. Our waitress/server was very attentive, friendly, and smiling with a welcoming air that made us feel like we were eating at her home. Loved it and we are definitely returning! Thanks Thai Garden!

    Not bad. First time ordering chicken pad Thai. Server was very attentive and kind. Place looked very clean too. I would come back :)

    Ordered takeout from Thai Garden! We ordered: - Thai noodle soup with chicken - beef pad Thai - beef pineapple fried rice Would definitely order the soup and pad see ew again! The two were very tasty. The soup was pretty flavorful on its own, probably won't add a protein next time I get it. Looking forward to trying other items on their menu!

    Off the beaten path but well worth the drive!!! This is the ultimate in Thai marinated Beef! Flavorful, Tender! Delicious! What can I say, it is Culinary Perfection!!! The salads Peanut Dressing is amazing and the soup was so savory and delish!!! It is an OC hidden gem in the Foothills!!!

    White rice.

    Spur of the moment dinner adventure. Great place to eat. Staff is friendly, detailed and didn't rush us even though we showed up 40 minutes before close time. We ordered the Yellow Curry (vegan) and Pad See-Ew (also vegan) with white rice. The food wad really delicious and fresh. Super flavourful and just slighty spicy, which I prefer. The restaurant is on the smaller side, very clean and nice decor. We will definitely be coming back.

    This is our fave local Thai spot. The service is great, food is yummy and most items can be tailored to meet my allergy needs. We eat here all the time.

    Restaurant is cozy with spacious seating. Staff was friendly, if busy with take out orders…read more We ordered: 1. Thom Kha: great flavor, fresh, excellent 2. Beef pad thai: great flavor, great presentation 3. Mango sticky rice: sweet mango, good sticky rice TLDR: Good service, excellent food, great establishment, great value. Would recommend!

    I've ordered take out from them twice. The green curry was consistently good. Spicy really does…read moremean spicy and I have zero regrets. I'd rather it be spicy like requested, than not. I do have a good tolerance for heat. However, extra spicy may be overkill. The papaya salad was also delicious. It comes w two large shrimp. The papaya was crisp, even the next day and the day after. I was more interested in the papaya salad itself than the shrimp, but you can also opt for the salted crab as an option. Pad Thai was ok, but I'm not fickle when it comes to this dish. But if you are particular/ picky about your Pad Thai this might not be for you. It was a bit sweeter and heavier on the sauce. The noodles were also a bit too soft. That's probably because it was a togo order so it continued steaming in the container, so I don't fault the restaurant for that. The dishes I would pass on would be the green beans in garlic sauce. They were older, tougher green beans. But it came w mushrooms that were good. Maybe it's just this shipment of green beans that weren't young and crisp. But, I would skip it all together and try something else next time. This restaurant is family owned and they work hard. It's good to support family businesses. Definitely give them a try.

    Omg! This location closed?! This was the best Thai food in the area! Awwwwwww I'm so sad! I live in…read moreLA but work in Lake Forest. So I'm super close to the authentic Thai restaurants in Thai town and this was by far the closest I've ever got in Orange County to having a similar taste. If you are the owner or anybody who used to work here, can you please tell me that you have another location cause I'll drive there I don't care where it is in Orange County. You guys are the best.

    This Thai Restaurant bills itself on their website as the "Best Thai Food in Orange County."…read more Before ordering I asked the woman running the restaurant if this is truly the Best Thai Restaurant in Orange County. She confirmed that it was. While I have not dined at all OC Thai restaurants to compare, they did a great job here and I would come back. My Spicy eggplant with chicken and brown rice was excellent. The portion size was above average which is critical for this guy that burns through food like a Ford F350 burns through gasoline. They gave and adequate amount of veggies (and you cannot have too many veggies in this dish especially peppers) and a good portion of chicken. You choose spice level on a scale of 1 to 10. I picked 3 as a guess and would not go much higher than that next time. Their brown rice is incredible--you will not find better anywhere. Service is efficient, respectful but no time to sit at your table and chat with you. One Asian woman was serving the entire restaurant and the pickups and did a great job. She was as efficient as 3 teens combined at any retail store. LOL But don't come here if you are in a mad rush. I really liked the atmosphere here. While the place in general could use a deep cleaning during their closed day I really liked the atmosphere inside which they kept cooler on a hot day (bring an extra shirt or jacket). Good place for dining alone, friends meal, family, date night or pre-romantic dinner. Everyone will feel comfortable here. There is no Valet, but a large parking lot of free and easy parking.
