    Seafood Curry in coconut shell
    Chloe N.

    Obsessed. This place is owned by Thai/lao/vietnamese couple who cooks amazing food. So much umami. I love how dishes are not sweet compared to other Thai dishes served in OC that are on the sweeter side. Inside is clean and the service is friendly. Love their lunch $16.99 specials, I tried green curry, drunken noodles, papaya salads and they were all bomb. Had seafood curry in coconut shell. Presentation was 10/10 and food was sooo good. I want to come back here with bigger party to order more and share. You need to try, you won't regret it !

    Tasty Thai restaurant in the middle of a small strip mall. Signing up for a rewards account during your first visit will give you enough points for a free drink next time, so it's totally worth it. The decor is nice, and they have two tables outside for patio seating. The food is delicious and the portions are enough to get stuffed, but you won't have left overs.

    Larb, pad Thai and basil eggplant.... super enjoyed our lunch!

    So glad I found Thai Station while driving to the freeway to get home. It's a small restaurant hidden in a tiny shopping center. I was a bit worried at first seeing all the negative reviews. However, I was pleasantly surprised with my order. Had the Tom Yum soup with egg noodles. It comes with ground pork, fish balls, fish cake, and a hard boiled egg. Everything was delicious. The broth was so perfectly seasoned and not too sour nor too salty. I asked for my noodles to be el dente and not overcooked and they followed instructions exactly. Service was good l. Austin was polite and attentive. He kept on checking on me and made sure I got everything I needed. It was also nice that there are three types of noodles to chose from for this dish. Big plus. Restaurant was clean and well ventilated so your clothes and hair do not smell after. I will return to try other menu items out.

    Grilled pork kabobs

    I have mixed feelings about Thai Station because while some dishes were definite hits, others missed the mark for me. The space itself is very inviting. The interior is modern, clean, and feels comfortable, which made for a pleasant first impression. Unfortunately, service fell a bit short. After our order was taken, the staff were not very attentive and we had minimal check-ins throughout the meal. I even had to flag them down to refill my water glass. On the food side, the pork kebabs were a standout. They tasted authentic, well seasoned, and were easily the best dish we tried. The larb was average. The crying tiger, however, was disappointing. It arrived on a sizzling plate like fajitas, which was unexpected, but the beef was much rarer than expected even though I requested medium. It also was not cut against the muscle grain, like crying tiger is expected, to make the tougher flank steak more tender to eat. The BBQ pork ribs were also not what I was hoping for. Instead of being glazed, the sauce felt more like it was mopped on and left the ribs overly wet, and the pork lacked the grilled char I associate with Thai BBQ. I also ordered sticky rice, which was served wrapped in foil rather than the usual plastic wrap. It was still in a bamboo box. Unfortunately, it was on the hard and dry side, which made it tough to enjoy. I'd consider coming back for the pork kebabs, but I hope some of their other dishes will win me over.

    The place was okay overall, nothing particularly memorable food-wise. Most dishes felt pretty average. I was really looking forward to the crispy pork, but it ended up being double deep fried, which made the meat quite dry even though the skin was nice and crispy. The mango salad was made with soft, sweet yellow mangoes instead of the tangier green kind, so the flavors didn't quite come together as expected. The tom yum was also underwhelming. The broth was clean but tasted a bit one dimensional, as it lacked depth or enough fresh ingredients. On the bright side, the crab fried rice was surprisingly good, flavorful and well-balanced, and the Thai tea was also really enjoyable.

    Pineapple fried rice

    Yum! I got the pineapple fried rice and my friend got the pineapple curry with the heaviest spice. She loved it and said sometimes the spice goes too hard and there's no flavor... but not here! Spice was high and flavor was high. I have a gluten allergy and asked to remove the soy sauce and they did so and the fried rice was still super good - lots of butter ;) Service was a bit standoffish and not as welcoming though :/

    I stopped here randomly while I waited to get my taxes done. I was only one of two people there. 3 people came to ask my order lol. I had the Tom Yum Soup and it was delicious! Very flavorful. If I'm ever in the area I would try it again.

    Got the pineapple fried rice this time around ($18) which was pretty good, nothing special.

    ... Whenever I eat Thai, I normally just order Pad Thai to be safe, but today, I ordered a bit too much for us! It was all delicious Tom Yum soup, Beef Satay, Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice. Needless to say... we have enough for another dinner Sharing just the Tom Yum soup was plenty... but we tried a bit of everything! This place is new, clean & beautifully decorated inside. The owners & staff are extremely nice, pleasant & humble. The prices are also reasonable. Please give them a try!

    Tom Yum Noodle Soup | IG @moniquedao
    Monique D.

    Wanted to give this new restaurant a try seeing that they have five stars. The Tom Yum noodle soup was actually really good. I like the fact that they give you a lot of toppings and the soup is not as sour as I have had before at other places. However, the Crying Tiger was disappointing. I requested the steak medium, but it came out looking quite rare still. I am not picky. I just cannot eat rare steak. I told them to make it a little less red, and the guy did nicely bring it back to the kitchen. But when they brought it back out, it seemingly became beef jerky. It appeared they had overcooked it somehow. I didn't want to say anything again after that because I felt bad. The meat was so chewy and did not have any kind of flavor at all unless I dip it in the sauce. For $19 I expected a little more. From now on, I am not getting Crying Tiger anywhere again unless it's ribeye. The menu says "hanging steak". They probably mean "hanger" steak. The restaurant itself is nice and clean and they had a pretty Christmas tree. Parking is easy and plenty. Other than that, I'm not sure if I'll return.

    Thai Station is a new Thai restaurant in Fountain Valley. This spot sits in a pretty popular plaza, especially when school gets out. Parking is usually ok. They did fresh renovations, and I like the new decor! It felt very clean and fresh. The service was quick and friendly. Frequent check ins and refills of water. The food itself was solid. I wish there was a little more, but the flavors and textures were good. The noodles were well cooked! I always worry for undercooked or overcooked rice noodles, but these were solid. Overall, Thai Station is a solid new Thai spot in town!

    Khao Soi
    Steven M.

    The food is really good! The pork jowl in the Kor Moo Yang was really flavorful and tender, and the dipping sauce added great depth to cut through the meaty richness. And the Khao Soi is one of the best I've had yet! Really creamy and flavorful and a nice balance of textures with the noodles, pickled vegetables and meats. Definitely will come back for another bowl! And the staff was super friendly and helpful

    Crab fried rice, double extra egg, to go.

It made my drink very thick and unevenly distributed throughout my sipping experience because of how heavy the jam is compared to the milk and Matcha. I also tried on a separate trip the lychee tea, which was OK. The reviews are right when they mention the drinks are very sugar forward very sweet and I did have the barista reduce the sweetness in my tea, but the syrup used for the lychee just doesn't make well for the type of experience that I'm used to when I purchase tea from other competing stores.

It wasn't difficult to find a spot to sit at either; outdoor seating and a good number of indoor seating was available for how busy it was at the time. It did get busier later, so I recommend to come earlier than you plan to to find a seat since it is a small store. May have to share a table with someone. The service was good! The cashier who helped me out answered questions I had and helped me pick out the drink. I got the espresso einspanner and it was average. The espresso is pre-batched and sort of had a weird bitter taste you wouldn't expect from coffee. The cream top definitely made it taste better. If they make the espresso latte base the same way without a cream top, I recommend to get a specialty drink or any drink with a cream top. It was kind of expensive for what it is. However, the service and interior outweighed my opinion on the drink, so I didn't think it deserved 4 stars for that. Definitely will come back to study again and try a different drink!!

The orange cream tastes like an orange creamsicle and it actually paired really well with the matcha. The matcha flavor itself was nice and strong, not too milky or watery or clumpy.

They've also got a nice little patio to just rest and relax at while you enjoy your drinks. I've had a few pretty deep conversations coming out of this place. Okay, even though I did come to a coffee shop, I did end up getting a hojicha latte that was roasty, nutty, and delicious alongside the vanilla notes that they add. Great choice for some of you who don't do so well with caffeine. It's easy to drink, and thoughtfully prepared! I got something a little different. It was a strawberry co-ferment espresso in a cappuccino ratio. You could really taste that strawberry come through, and having it hot and with milk was a perfect choice. Fruity, complex, and funky! Love to see places serving co-ferments. I don't think it's over-played in specialty coffee, and I do appreciate having the option!

I mainly wanted to try the black sesame latte and yep it was pretty good! The cream was veryyy nice and creamy. It definitely is very strong coffee because usually when I have extremely strong coffee, I start to sweat and get a headache, so yes they serve very strong coffee here. Don't let the size fool you. Small but mighty. Something you should also sip than chug. Overall, the coffee is good, but feel like it was just a one time try for me. I do enjoy a bigger size cup cause I feel its more worth it, even if the caffeine hit is as worth, I do enjoy more of the volume and it could be less concentrated. I respect it though! Cashier was nice and friendly.
