    43. Orange Chicken 40. Mongolian Beef

    So good!! If you're thinking about trying this place definitely do. I've been here twice and plan on coming in more times just to try All their different dishes. Our favorite is the orange chicken and sticky rice mango! 5+ stars and amazing service!!

    Variety of items!

    We ordered a lot of items here last night via door dash for a birthday dinner. Overall, everything was good. We had the pad thai, pad see ew, 2 different types of curries, fried rice, mongolian beef (which we requested spicy and there was no spice), orange chicken, mango sticky rice, and some tofu/egg plant dishes. We also had some fried Wong tongs with beef. These were OK but had hardly any meat in them. The pad see ew with chicken and orange chicken were my favorite. Everything overall was fine, bur I think there are better thai restaurants in the area.

    I wasn't impressed with flavor at all. It wasn't fresh to my taste buds. It tasted like fast food Thai not authentic. Very disappointed with Papaya Salad it tasted old. I went based on reviews but have tried better Thai Places. Quality definitely can be better.

    A Burmese friend recommended this spot for casual Thai food, so my friends and I decided to swing by during lunch break and gave it a try. Thai Pepper offers a Lunch Special from 11AM to 3PM, and each meal is just $10.95 which is a steal for the Huntington Beach area. Each lunch combo includes: * A small pack of crispy wontons (2 pieces) * Salad * Freshly stir-fried rice * Your choice of protein/entrée. You can even customize the spice level from 1 to 10! Since we were not sure how spicy they would be so we went for level 2 and they didn't taste hot at all. We ordered a few different dishes to share: * C1 Pad Thai (Chicken) * C7 Mint Leaves Chicken * C15 BBQ Pork * C17 Spicy Eggplant (Chicken) The owner was super friendly and even came over to ask how we liked the food before we left. For $10.95, the portions were really generous and we all left full and satisfied. There aren't too many tables inside, and it seems like most people order takeout/DoorDash deliveries. Since everything is fresh made to order, expect a bit of a wait. If you're in a rush, I'd recommend calling ahead. Thai Pepper 18023 Beach Blvd, Huntington Beach, CA 92648

    Thai Pepper was on vacation when we went last month.. so I see that they are back for business. The lovely missus convincingly said that we won't have a chance to go if we don't do it today. Yeah, busy with chores and life's things. We parked right outside and see the young man behind the counter. I do miss the elders of days gone by, but I also notice that the menu wall and handout still have our favorite dishes. Golden Fried Tofu and Fried Wontons. Oh yes, please pack to go. Include two D0-1 Pad Thai (with white meat chicken) not spicy, to our order. This Pad Thai comes with fried rice and a side of fresh lettuce greens and a vegetable roll. A lot of great tasting food for our scrumptious feast at home. I added the sweet Thai Ice Tea which I actually had for dessert. We were very glad that Thai Pepper is now back from vacation.

    Placed an order via DoorDash. Food was ready upon arrival. All the containers were filled to the brim except for the spicy eggplants. I had no idea the latter was a dinner combo of sort and it came with a salad and spring roll. I thought it was nice surprise! The packaging were well thought out as the spicy eggplants were wrapped in a separate bag in case of leakages. This avoided a big mess because it did leak and saved me a lot of hassle from having to do extra cleanup. The food itself were absolutely delicious. I would have loved to turn on food vacuum mode and eat everything in one sitting. NOTE: I know better -- I just have delicious lunch and dinner leftovers for today instead Looking forward to returning again in the future and trying their other dishes.

    lunch special w/ pad thai
    Lynn L.

    ORDER lunch special w/ pad thai the lunch special comes with a side of fried or white rice, salad, and wonton chips... all for under $12! my go to is the pad thai at the level 4 spice level (the scale is from 1-10). the portions are big and the price is unbeatable. the pad thai is flavorful and they do not skimp on the chicken. i usually call to order through the phone before picking up. they do charge a small fee for card payments if your order is under $15. SERVICE since i call before picking up my order, the process is always quick and easy. once i get there, the food is ready and piping hot. AMBIANCE the restaurant is relatively small and only has a few seats inside. id recommend ordering for take out.

    Watery Beef Broccoli. Unbelievably gross.
    Gillian O.

    If it wasn't for the friendly staff, I would absolutely give zero stars based on the food. Absolutely disgusting, I threw everything I ordered away. I had high hopes based off the reviews, but I was left in complete shock that this place is even open. The beef broccoli was drowning in tasteless water with chewy beef. The shrimp was not deveined, chewy and had a weird smell. The rice and pad Thai were so bland, no spice at all, and again, just completely shocking it's being served. The egg rolls, if this is even possible, were completely mushy and wet on the inside. I was scared to take more than I bite and risk getting sick. I really hate writing bad reviews, but when the food was this bad, I have to let others know! Save your money!

I had the chicken panang curry, side sampler, pad Thai and cashew chicken.

Panang was spot on and when I asked for it to be extra spicy, they did not disappoint. I loved the sampler and would definitely get it again.. everything on it was delicious! Cashew chicken was great, mainly just because the quality of the ingredients was so high. Oh and riceberry is my new favorite curry companion! Not sure about service or ambiance as we ordered delivery but I can say that they delivered for lunch when the place we normally order from didn't have that option.. the other place might have lost our business as a result.. maybe should have sprung for the lunch delivery guy.

The restaurant is in a great location with plenty of parking, making it an easy place to visit. Inside, it was clean, bright, and welcoming. We were seated right away, but unfortunately, the service got off to a slow start. No one came by to take our drink order, and we eventually had to wave someone down to get things moving. Once our server came over, though, everything turned around. Here's what we ordered: - Mango Salad - fresh, flavorful, and I loved that it came with lettuce for extra crunch. - Massaman Curry - on the lighter side than I'm used to, but the curry flavor was absolutely on point. - Pad See Ew - Eggplant - Summer Rolls - Sticky Rice - Lychee Tea - refreshing, delicious, and the perfect drink to pair with the meal. Every dish we ordered was excellent. It's always a great sign when you order several items and every single one delivers. The flavors were authentic, well balanced, and made me wish I had room to order even more. Despite the slow start with the service, the quality of the food more than made up for it. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Orange County. 10/10, highly recommended if you're craving great Thai food!

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!

Show up right at evening opening to even have a chance at getting a table without waiting 1-2 hours. Struggle to find parking. Order food and it kind of takes forever. While waiting for our food, we almost always start to wonder if it's all worth it. And then every time, once the food arrives, that conversation gets dropped. We always order the Manaao Pork Jowl and Khao Soi with braised beef. We also typically order a noodle dish as well. As always, their Khao Soi is fantastic. The flavor is deep and the curry is rich. The beef is always cooked until it falls apart between your chopsticks. The one we were a bit unsure about was why they started to serve the pork jowl with no sauce on the side. We feel like when we first started ordering the dish, the sauce was lightly drizzled on top and served on the side in a small ramekin. Now, all of the sauce comes on top of the pork which seems to have made the dish a bit colder and less crispy. Still, the flavor is dialed, perfectly sweet and tangy. Their noodles are also always fantastic, perfectly cooked and seasoned. This visit we decided to try a new curry, and went with the Chu Chee Curry with Fried Catfish. This dish blew us away. We were immediately surprised by the generous portion of catfish, which seemed to be a full fried filet. At first, I felt like the batter may have been too thick for my liking. It seemed to be so thick and fried that it would taste crunchy rather than crispy if that makes sense. However, once coated in the curry sauce and enjoyed with the rice, the textures work together perfectly to maintain the crisp of the fry on the fish, which was cooked just right. The curry was light, which meant it didn't overpower the subtle flavor of the fish. We also ordered dessert for the first time off of the recommendation of a friend to try the rice balls in coconut milk with coconut ice cream. The flavor was amazing, and the texture of the rice balls (think mochi but more soft and tender rather than chewy) was very pleasant alongside the crunchy bits of fried mung bean. Our only gripe was that even by the time the dish reached our table, the ice cream was mostly melted. If anything, I feel like serving them separately would help maintain the temperatures, and enjoying them together in that way could create a more satisfying contrast. As always, Manaao is our favorite Thai spot in Orange County. I definitely recommend.
