    Spicy thai basil with grounded pork
    Brandi P.

    Super sweet staff. Flavors were bursting in these dishes. My go to is pad thai or pad ka kow I got pad ka kow flavorw were amazing, the soup was over powering with mushrooms which I know people love. Just wasnt for me but the flavor was amazing. Ill be back to try the pad thai and other items.

    Came here randomly for dinner. We were seated right away, and the iPad kid in the corner gave me high hopes that the food would slap. It seems they are limited on spice / condiment trays, but we were lucky enough to get one as soon as we got our table. As soon as we left, another table that had already been seated for a bit got our condiment tray. The food was all over the board. KHAO SOI: 4/5. Rich and indulgent TROUT: 3/5. A bit dry. CHICKEN SKEWERS: 4/5. ROTI: 0/5. Disappointing. Waxy on the outside and doughy on the inside.

    Pad See Ew.  EXTREMELY tasty!

    ...My friend loves VERY spicy food ... Today she picked a place in FV called Thai "on Fire" ... Never been here before, but it was DELICIOUS. The wait staff were incredibly pleasant and friendly. We overstayed our welcome by a few hours, but it didn't seem to matter. Their hospitality was very welcoming and they thanked us for coming.

    Flavor-wise, this place really impressed me. Shoutout to the young guy at the nearby FedEx for the recommendation. The crying tiger beef was tender and flavorful, and the pad see ew blew my mind with how good it was. The crab cheese wontons were tasty but had a little too little filling for $11. Total was about $60 with tip for those 3 dishes, definitely on the pricey side but worth it. Next time I'd probably skip the wontons. Ordered to-go around 6 pm and noticed lots of pickup orders coming through. Place was neat and quiet. I'd definitely come back.

    Whenever I'm in FV, I usually opt for Vietnamese food but this place has caught my eye multiple times while on the road. Located in an unsuspecting strip mall, this place is such a hidden gem that I've been thinking about for days after I've had it! First off, the service is amazing. The owner, Niki is extremely kind and welcoming. She stopped by our table many times to check if we needed anything (more water, extra sauce, dessert, etc.). She made great recommendations too. The food here is sooo good. Portions are very generous and everything is very fresh and flavorful. I also loved that the homemade sauces/condiments were conveniently at the table instead of having to ask for them. We had the crab cheese wontons, crying tiger, pad thai, tom kha, and chili garlic fish - everything was so tasty! I especially loved the pad thai and crying tiger. The pad thai was sweet and tangy, and the crying tiger came with a unique dipping sauce that was a bit different than the typical nam jim jaew. After the meal, we tried the coconut ice cream (which our server told us was from Thailand!), which came topped with roasted peanuts. The texture was halfway between a sorbet and an ice cream which I thought was very interesting. The flavor was very good too - fresh and not overpoweringly sweet. Super excited to come back to this place again for the amazing food and service. Thank you so much Thai On Fire for such a great experience!

    This Thai restaurant is very convenient for me to have lunch or stop by to meet friends in the area . There's not many good Thai places in the Fountain Valley so having this here is nice . Food: I like their papaya salad , mango sticky rice. It's my favorite dishes here . Other dishes It's decent but not amazing tasty , great portions, fair prices . Service: They are super friendly and accommodating. The vibe is chill and the music is always nostalgic. It's really well maintained, clean and have a booth seating . Parking: plenty of parking in the font !

    This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the OC. Though the ambiance leaves much to be desired, the food is always on-point, full of flavor, quality ingredients and with authentic touches. The decor is elegant but a little outdated , not trendy at all like Kin or Hanuman... I do like the music they play every time. Good vibes music . Service has been friendly and prompt and gracious last few times. Food preparation is always consistent. Last time we ordered garlic beef noodle (and the steak was a large amount, perfectly marbled and tender and delicious, tasted like a ribeye,) the seafood Drunken noodles with Thai basil is my favorite... comes with generous amounts of mussels, big sweet fresh peeled shrimp, fried boneless white fish filets, calamari) , their Tom Yum goong/shrimp soup was perfectly balanced with flavors of sweet and sour and hot. My family and friends like it here too. I always get excited to come back.

    Thai: pan-fried noodles with egg, bean sprouts, cooked in sweet and tangy sauce garnished with crushed peanuts

    Our Thai spot when I visit the in-laws. It's owned by the same company as "Sushi on Fire" and while we've been here several times we've never tried either of their sushi locations. Duck Noodle: Noodles with roasted duck (Skin on), bean sprouts, green onion, cilantro, and garlic sauce. My favorite, very nice soy sauce based broth, overall noodle soup tasted clean and not heavy. Potak: (Hot & sour seafood soup) Thai spicy soup with seafood in a spicy broth of lemongrass (Shrimp, fish, calamari, and mussel). Delicious and a good option for seafood lovers, my wife uses their version as the bar for tiwhr places. Pad Thai: pan-fried noodles with egg, bean sprouts, cooked in sweet and tangy sauce garnished with crushed peanuts. Noodle were perfectly cooked and not falling apart, consistent for takeout or in-person dining. Shrimp Blanket: Marinated shrimp rolls with wonton skin served with sweet and sour sauce. Nice and crunchy, tasted great with the sweet and sour sauce.

    The food was good and at a reasonable price. We plan to return and try different dishes. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean.

    thai fried rice + duck curry
    Catherine T.

    thai fried rice was decent but wish it had a bit more flavor! it tasted a bit bland and dry. i liked the chili assortment they had, i added a bunch of dry red chili to the fried rice and it really leveled it up. the duck curry was delicious! they debone the duck for you so it makes it easy to eat, and they give you a pretty good amount of meat.

They have a fast casual set up where you order at the counter and when your food is ready, someone will bring it to your table. Their menu is pretty simple and straightforward. They have Stir Fries, Curry, Noodle Soups, and Soups, and you can choose the type of protein you want: veggies, tofu, chicken, beef, shrimp, bbq pork, chicken satay, or fried chicken, each at different price points. We got a Pad See Ew with Chicken, and it was tasty! There was a decent amount of broccoli in it. They also ask you what spice level you want. We ordered mild, and it had a slight kick to it. We also tried their new menu item, Thai Basil Eggplant. It comes with ground chicken, bell peppers, onions, and jasmine white rice. I ordered mild spice level as well, but it wasn't as spicy as the Pad See Ew. It was still very flavorful and definitely goes well with the rice. It came out piping hot! I would get this again!

Food arrived promptly and the owner made sure that we had a great time! AMBIANCE: parking is not too terrible and there are plenty of tables inside. It is quiet and makes a nice location to relax or hang with friends. FOOD: My ALL TIME favorite that no other place could make the same is the spicy beef salad and the tom yum soup. Both citrusy, hearty, and meat isn't tough... I can't get enough! Other favorites are the satay, the pad sew ew, the pad thai (though we didn't get it this time), and more! The thai tea is so yummy and I wished they had their old 32 oz cup so I could have it last throughout my meal. Another fav is the mango sticky rice, but couldn't order it this time around as I was in a rush. Price range makes this place more affordable and honestly, feel more homey than big names like Munaao and Hanuman. 10/10 would come again... maybe to try new things but honestly, the combo above is already sooooooo good and yummy, I definitely have just kept ordering those! PRO Tip: the spice levels are more tamed at this location, but you could adjust it. I was able to handle Medium spicy with some "hah ah tsss" but the spicy definitely kicks your butt. Some thai places have food that is "mild" but is actually spicy but Mai Thai only adds spice if you're actually okay with it, making it also a nice place to bring kids who can't handle the heat

Service is friendly. There is no lunch special. I think it will be a good idea to come up with one with free soda / soft drink combo since The Picklr pickleball indoor just opened! You need to have cold drinks aside from water.

We got the Lao style papaya salad, crispy pork fried rice (Nam Kao Tod), and beef salad (Nuam Num Tok), all medium spicy. The papaya salad was fishy, spicy, and had that crab flavor I was looking for. The crispy pork fried rice was so flavorful, especially with the peanuts, herbs, and chiles. The beef salad was probably my favorite, tender beef, red onions, fresh herbs, and a spicy, tangy dressing. So good and packed with flavor. Service was nice and it wasn't busy when we went. Their hours online didn't seem updated though, so we ended up getting there about an hour before closing. I do wish the interior had a little more decor and atmosphere, but the food itself was immaculate. Definitely coming back. 9/10

I've never had an issue with any item, everything taste amazing, comes out hot and fast, and just hits the spot every time. My favorites are the Nam Kao, Larb, Deep Fried Short Ribs, Pad Kee Mao, Fried Rice, Khao Poon, Khao Piak, Pho Lao, Deep Fried Catfist, Beef Jerky, Lao Sausage, and plenty more that hit the spot. I'm always excited to come here for lunch or dinner. Please give it a try if you've never had Lao Food. Make sure to order some sticky rice to eat with your appetizer and make sure to come hungry.

    This experience was unfortunately one of the worst experiences I've had at a Thai restaurant. First…read moreand foremost, it is the only Thai restaurant that you are required to order rice on the side as a separate charge, which I've never seen before. Most places will accommodate the side of rice with your food, this place will not and it's upwards of $4 total for what essentially looks like a half cup of rice. They advertise for "jumbo crab" rice in the photos I supplied and the parentheses are used to infer that you shouldn't take the picture as exactly as it's shown. It's a marketing technic to justify the expensiveness of a dish with premium ingredients and that at any given time market value will affect the amount of the premium ingredient or they are somehow justified on not delivering what they're advertising for by showing pictures. As you can see, this was about $20 for basic fried rice. I even combed through the entire plate thinking I'd find something and there was none. It tasted like crab, which means there may have been small pieces that you couldn't tell were in there, but this was a total scam that day. I don't post unless I'm entirely unhappy with an experience and I think this restaurant deserves me highlighting this. On top of that, I came in to a server chatting with someone at their table, which is fine if they're on a break and not my business when it comes to customer service. Someone came out and seated me, but this first server decided to step in and give me my receipt and thanked me for coming in. It was so ingenuine/looking for a tip for doing the bare minimum until it helps you that I gave them nothing extra in a country that believes in tipping culture, particularly for the food I just ate. I would advise patrons to ask them specifically what they're ordering when it comes to this item and if it's not up to par with the picture, send it back. I'm a firm believer personally in letting you bury yourself and then I'll make sure people know about it. Terrible experience.
