    I wrote a review a few years ago and still to this day, Thai Wave remains the best Thai food in Hb! They consistently offer amazing flavor and quality. Service is exceptional! We had the privilege of having Pim be our server the last few times we dined in. She is always very nice and attentive. They stream baseball game on their big screens and possibly basketball when in season. They have happy hour deals on food and drinks and they're NOW oPEN until 2am! Dine-in closes at 1:30 but takeout orders until 2. Lots of pescatarian and vegetarian option! Support small and local! :)

    Ordered takeout so cannot comment on the ambience and service. Got the pad see ew ($16) which tasted standard. A little salty but the portion was generous.

    Finally got to try out the HB Thai Wave! It's nice inside and very clean and neat. The service was fast and the food came out fast! The food was great and the lunch special was a good deal.

    Ken & Nattalie are such amazing people. Nattalie always remembers what I like and has fresh chile fish sauce waiting for me. Recently we had them cater our staff holiday party and everything came out fresh, delicious and amazing. We ordered: chicken satay which is a must get with their cucumber relish. Sweet, salty and healthy because they use chicken breast. Potstickers which is lightly seared and steamed and has a house made soy sauce. Crispy shrimp wraps which has a whole shrimp in it fried with a egg roll wrapper and a sweet and sour sauce. Crowed favorite Thai fried rice with chicken. Has lots of veggies and flavor Pad thai which is my absolute favorite. Sweet and sour with the added lime so amazing I get this here everytime. Chow mein was our staffs favorite noodle dish. Lots of noodles and veggies with soy base. We opted for no meat but it was so good it didn't need it. Thai bbq chicken i like how they used all cuts of chicken. My husband like white meat but I like dark meat. It was the best of both dark and white meat. The orange chicken was very crispy and flavorful you can taste the real orange juice not the rake tasting oj. The dish stayed crispy for over 4 hours. King oyster with beef is like their beef and broccoli. Very tender beef and fresh broccoli. My biggest irritated is over cooked veggies. This was not at all. Lots of garlic with soy sauce. Never skip on their fried bananas and mango sticky rice! Thank you thai wave for making our staff party amazing! And my lunch visits like I'm part of the family!

    Sticky Rice with Mango

    Late-night cravings cured -- thanks to Pim and the delicious food! Came here late at night and was so happy they were open! Our server Pim was amazing -- super attentive, friendly, and really made us feel welcome. The food was incredible. The papaya salad was so fresh and had the perfect crunch, the pad thai and pad see ew were both packed with flavor, and the mango sticky rice was delicious (I personally would have preferred it without the sesame seeds, but still so good). Overall, everything hit the spot and Pim's service made the whole experience even better. Can't wait to come back!

    Couldn't wait

    Best Thai I've had in the area Hands down! Google Maps / Waze will tell you that it's closed but they are in fact open til 2am every night! Came in at 11:30 after a Long Beach day and was not disappointed! The ambiance is so nice slow jazz and a very clean bathroom, a perfect way to end the weekend. Panang Curry, Yellow Curry, Spicy Eggplant, and Thai Tea was absolutely EXQUISITE ! ‍ Will be returning anytime I'm in town

    Cashew chicken, shrimp pineapple fried rice, chicken yellow curry, and mango sticky rice

    First time trying Thai Wave, ordered through DoorDash, and we were quite nervous because we can be pretty picky... But it was so good! We ordered spicy and it was actually spicy! Half the price of our usual spot. Would definitely recommend and order again!

    My family of 6 decided to try Orange Thai for a Father's Day. dinner. The restaurant is almost…read moreinconspicuously tiny with very limited seating. That usually is a good sign and indeed it was. We were seated promptly as we had Md called in for reservation's. The tables are small and we placed three together. We were given water immediately plus we ordered Thai teas which were promptly served. The owner was our server and promptly took out individual orders consisting of two shared orders of chicken satay. We ordered seafood tom yum soup plus Pad See Ew, one shrimp Pad Thai, two chicken Pad Thai's, Pineapple fried rice. For each order we were asked what spice lever 1-5 we would like. I ordered my pai at a (12)twelve. I also asked for what for me is Sine qua non, that being nam pla prik which was served ice cold from a refrigerator. The only real criticism I have would be that the main entrees were brought to the table before the soup. The satays were served first and I'd say that the chicken texture was more or less that of a thin processed chicken tender. The satay came with a small bit of cucumber and onion side slobs with a I presume was a peanut sauce. The portions were huge, the amount of shrimp, muscles, fish and what seemed to be scallops was more than adequate and very good. I really enjoyed my chicken Pad Thai but could only finish half , much to my chagrin. My Granddaughter commented favorably about her pins pole fried rice and the eldest of my two Grandson's literally devoured every morsel of his chicken Pad Thai. Of course my other grandson ordered Shrimp pad Thai and gave me his shrimp and stated that he doesn't like shrimp? De gustibus non est disputandum? Go figure! The owners service was great and very attentive. The food was very good with only a slight reservation. We were planning to top off the meal with a shared serving of the traditional Khao Niao Mamuang (Sticky Rice and Mango) but we were all satiated to the MAX! Maybe next time. There are more modern looking restaurants with table cloths and ambiance but the charm of the small intimate eatery wasn't lost at Orange Thai. The family enjoyed the meal and my son and I enjoyed the Father's Day experience at Orange Thai.

I happened to see it on social media and immediately knew I wanted to try it. From the moment we walked in, the experience was great. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food came out surprisingly fast. We started with the cream cheese wontons and chicken satay. The wontons were perfectly crispy, not oily at all, and the sauce had just the right amount of sweetness without being overly sugary. The chicken satay was honestly the best I've ever had--perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and the sauce paired with it beautifully. For our main dish, we ordered the drunken noodles with crispy pork belly. I got spice level 5, which was perfect for me. The noodles were flavorful and the crispy pork belly had a delicate flavor and great texture. If you're craving Thai food, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. It's a neighborhood spot worth coming back to

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!

Green curry with braised beef and roti: The flavor on this curry is insane and the fresh roti is soooo good/pairs well with the curry. 3. Crab fried rice: A classic and done so right!

But they do have a waitlist online (as of May/Jun 2026) so get on that early. I do wish they would make things spicier. I know that sounds a little dubious for a Thai restaurant but though the default is more mild, the flavor is still there. This is good for those who can't handle spice but still want flavor. This is the main reason I didn't round up on my rating. The expectation is to lean spicy or at least be asked what level. I should have asked for more spice but honestly didn't think about it at the time and was more focused on the company I was keeping. Not a huge deal for me bc the flavor was still there but definitely to be noted. I'm up for going again but next time I will ask for more spice. Other notes... they have an interesting beer list so if you like that make sure to check it out. The parking is also tight so again keep that in mind.
