    Pad See Ew - Lunch Special
    Mindy S.

    I tried Pad See Ew lunch special here today. The food was pretty good. The combo came with veggies spring roll and side salad. Although I'd just get a full price Pad See Ew next time for a couple dollars more. The Lime Thai Tea was also nice and refreshing. A drink rather hard to find in OC, but now I know where to get one!

    The food was absolutely delicious, especially the beef tongue. I highly recommend this place.

    I am way over due to update my review. Have been coming here for years but not as much lately because the prices always go up and the portions always go down and unfortunately it's still true. However I had to come back because I haven't found any other restaurant that does their larb, spicy basil fried rice, and ong choy like this restaurant. Each item is flavored to perfection. I used to add more fish sauce but this time everything was perfect right off the plate. Everything came out fresh the on choy garlic and crunchy, their beef quality here beats all the other Thai restaurants beef quality I eat too and it shines in the larb and basil fried rice with tender beef that is so easy to chew. When I'm craving these 3 dishes I have to come here it's the only place I know with those 3 dishes the most flavorful. They have 5 levels of spice and I went with a 3 but definitely could go up to 4 next time. Service is great as always. Food comes out quickly. Restaurant is big and spacious, and I think they have remodeled there was nice new tables, chairs, and booths. I will be back as I have been for years.

    I'd say this spot is one of the best places to get thai food. Thai nakorn fried rice with shrimp (spicy level: Spicy): 9:/10 You can taste the heat from cooking it in the wok. Pad thai with shrimp(not pictured): 9/10 Nice and tangy. Recommend adding a good squeeze of lime juice and chili powder. Chicken Pad See Ew(not pictured): 8/10 Chicken was nice and moist. Thai Tea: 9/10 I like my thai teas nicely balanced with the right amount of cream and tea ratio. Mango Sticky Rice: 8/10 It did not look like the picture they had on their menu. Price point is a bit much... for half the price; it would've been better. Mangoes were good and ripe though.

    First time and definitely did not disappoint! I've been to multiple Thai restaurants and this location's portions and pricing is amazing! The flavors are perfect and food came out relatively fast. We shared this amongst three people and we were extremely full after. Our servers were so nice and attentive. I'd recommend all of these for first timers!

    Nam Namtok Salad
    Julie N.

    Lots of parking Big portions Nam tok salad was really good - steak tender Pad kee mao yummy and lots of seafood Tom yum soup was good too

    Pad See Ew

    Nothing but good things to say about this place. Excellent Thai food. Excellent service. Excellent casual ambiance. Check out my previous reviews.

    Pad See Ew as of May 2025 - had a weird sour taste (not fresh) $18.
    Katherine P.

    This use to be our favorite Thai restaurant, but after today, I don't think we'll ever be back again. We ordered a pad see ew, beef and it was just straight ewwwww (nasty). There was a weird sour taste to the noodles which tells me none of the ingredients were fresh. This place definitely has no standards to let food go out sour like this. We drove 8 miles out of the way to support our old favorite restaurant, but now we know not to come back. I pray that we don't get a stomach ache, I only had a bite and threw the rest away. Approximately $18 wasted. Save your money and find another Thai restaurant! I suggest you going to Chada Thai on Brookhurst & Westminster where the ingredients are fresh.

    Thai Boat Noodle
    Catherine T.

    ordered the thai boat noodle soup and the garlic shrimp. the garlic shrimp tasted great. very flavorful and they give sooo much garlic which pairs great with the rice. the thai boat noodle soup was not great. the broth was lacking in depth and they give a very small amount of noodle. however they do give a decent portion of meat. i did really like the spices they give on the side. it's spicier than other thai places i've been too which i love!

    Yellow Chicken Curry
    Sandy L.

    Overall was not impressed with the food. It was picked as one of the best Thai restaurants on Reddit. Ordered Pad see ew, Spicy basil fried rice and yellow curry. The curry and pad see ew were bland and the chicken was shredded into small pieces. I think there are so many other Thai restaurants that are really good and flavorful.

    Tom Yum Hot/Sour Soup; Pad See Ew, Chicken, No Eggs; Larb Chicken; Papaya Salad, Dry Shrimp; Krapow Spicy Basil, Chicken, Rice

    I Have Not Eaten Anything From Thai Nakorn In YEARS!!! I Don't Know When The Quality Went Down -- While Chef Sam Was Still There Or After He Left. I Thought I'd Give It Another Try Today. The Order Was Placed Through DoorDash. I Appreciate That My Customized Requests Were Followed For Each Item. Everything Was Decent Enough To Eat, But One Or More Items Had MSG! I'm Allergic To MSG!!! The (Dry Shrimp) Papaya Salad Was Too Sweet For My Taste. I Prefer It To Taste Tangy & A Bit Salty. The Pad See Ew (No Eggs) Didn't Have The Usual 'Smoky Wok' Smell/Taste. The Noodles Were Way Too Soft. I Prefer Noodles Al Dente With A Bite.

    Pad Thai
    Rachel T.

    4/5 A Long overdue review for Thai Nakon. My family love this Thai restaurant. For special gathering, since they are spacious, cozy ambience and fantastic customer service. What I like is that they have uniqe Thai dishes, such as : -Crispy fried rice ( similar to Lotus of Siam in Las Vegas) -Raw shirmp salad ( Vietnamese cuisine has a similar dishes so I was excited to see this on their menu) -Pineapple fried rice: My grandma Loves this dish here -Pad thai is pretry decent -Also recommend Tom yum soup. If you like coconut, order Tom Kha :)

    Thai Nakorn has been a long standing family favorite when it comes to Thai food. We would compare all other Thai restaurants to this one. The perennial family favorites are the below, but I think whatever you order here will be good. Pad Thai shrimp Chicken satay Whole bbq chicken Papaya salad with crab Ong choy Spicy clam with Basel Pineapple fried rice Beef panang Green curry with chicken Pad see ew beef Street style Pad Thai chicken. Crying tiger Coconut jello Krapow ground pork Casual. Good service. Indoor seating. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Ask the Community - Thai Nakorn Restaurant

    Do they have Mango Sticky Rice?

    Yes, they have mango sticky rice.

    We were here on Tuesday at 4:20pm and they were closef?

    Maybe Chinese New Years

    Is this one owned by the same owners of the Garden Grove one?

    No, we sold the Garden Grove location back in 2018! The original family owns the Stanton location only.

    Do they do delivery?

    Yes I've gotten their delicious food delivered before just give them a call

    Did this place have a change of ownership or a new chef? Trying to support local business but it's hard when the food is not as good as before.

    We have the same question too! We were there today and the dishes were off. 8/12/20

    How much is the mango sticky rice? There's no price on the menu.

    It's $7.

    Open on Christmas?

    They're open. I'm here now.

    Backstory: For inexplainable reasons i do enjoy a good girthy bratwurst on many an occasion…read more especially the first bite when it explodes juicily in your mouth is so yum. So my excoworker whose german brings me and another coworker here for a more authentic experience, there was this i guess more hipster bratwurst place in LB we tried previously and i was ok with it but my broworkers brats were burnt and so here we are. In a nutshell:Ok i think i came here before maybe some event but i guess when a german brings you in and does the ordering it's different? Brats were amazing, except it was a platter of like 4 variations and they were precut, so no girthy enjoyment tonight and also i didnt know which ones were which flavor, they all look the same you have a lighter brat a darker brat and a redder brat i couldnt really tell to be honest. The pretzel was very interesting, thin crisp exterior and inside was fluffy soft, twas delicious considering how plain it looked, Wetzels/Annes would be a thick dense oily comparison. Beer cheese is extra but delicious, imagine a watery dip cheese. The ooooonly drawback was the mustard, it was kinda basic one flavor yellow mustard and according to my german friend slash excoworker she was expecting better mustards and a variety of mustards to top. Liquids:ok the beers are 500cc 1000cc and a pitcher. the 5 and 10 are a pint mug id expect at a brewery and a big fat tall apparently normal for germans sized mug thats bigger than my face. me n my bro we both do not carry the drinking genes so neither of us will walk away if we take a L ourselves, but the 3 of us wish to have a splendid jolly time havent seen each other in some time and the beer list is quite respectable. Fransiskaner Weissbeer was a mandatory vote for me, I had it like once when i was a young college dude and ive always been looking for it again since, the normal Fransiskaner Hefeweizen can be found here regularly but the dark version ive not seen in so long. If u like non-bitter smooth flavorful beer with a touch of banana hint on the end, Weissbeer you should try. $10 for a pint $16 for the oversized mug liter. Paulaner Hefeweizen was lighter flavor more orangey, still very pleasant. We took a Liter of both and split em 3 ways, the giant mugs are not possible to pour into smaller mugs without making a mess, unfortunately theyre not allowed to just pre split a 1L into 2 500ml mugs make it easier for us to split, something about the owner watching the dispensing okaaay. Service: uses the run forest run method which im a fan of. flip the painted wood block to red up for dont bother us and green for request service. Eliminates the untimely interruptions. Though towards the end of the night i had to use the bathroom and when i came back theyd cleared away my unfinished beer, rude. Pricey brats (1 brat plate is $15). Schnitzel $24 looks massive but its pounded paper thin and heavily breaded. Copious serving sizes of beer. Criminally limited to 1 type of mustard (i dont care, mustard isnt a high priority for me, but my coworker was so bothered) Parking has 2 lots on either side of the german "village" kinda small spots and tight angles but very plentiful. Also theres a mini market on the north end of the restaurant. alot of rather expensively priced small items.

    I cant express how much I enjoyed my experience here!!!…read more From the start the service was so friendly, at the time we got to pick our own seating since it wasnt too busy- we opted for the patio seats and it was a great vibe. We started off with some drinks, the Bex Wine was sweet, not too dry, and super refreshing! My partner got the Erdinger beer and it was light and citrusy! We of course had to get their pretzel which was HUGE!!! I thought we wouldnt be able to finish it but it was too good not to... the beer cheese, mustard and spread were all complimented well with the hot, crisp and buttery pretzel. We also got a side of fries, super crispy and battered- my fave! My partner got the polish sausage, stacked with sauerkraut, peppers, and onion!! Super snappy sausage and very generous portions. Nonetheless, I love how you can just flip a sign to indicate when you need service- super convenient. I can see myself going back here to try their other items!!
