I was craving Thai food, but I was sad to see there wasn't anything open, but I came across this place and saw that it's open until 2am. Safe to say this place was worth it! The Wonton Soup was simple but really hit the spot and the Seafood Pad See Ew was what my cravings were looking for. Ken recommended the Thai Tea instead of the Thai Green Tea, because it's less sweet and I got that with boba. It had the right amount of sweetness, so thank you Ken and for your service, you made my night! The restaurant was clean with some customers and a lot people ordering takeout. Modern music covers in the style of low-fi music was playing and it just made me enjoy this experience even more. It has a really cozy feel and this quickly became a favorite spot! I look forward to coming back and thank you again to all the workers for your hard work! read more

Celebrated the 4th of July and made a pit stop here before the day's boozing. I can always eat Thai food! We used to come here years ago when we lived in Huntington Beach and forgot how authentic this place is. read more

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! :) read more

The food is amazing, my girlfriend lived in Thailand for 3 years and loves the food amazing. The service is good, you get that vibe that this is family run and they truly care about your experience. (Not sure if family owned) Best part is they are open until 2am! read more

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. read more

Most authentic Thai food I've had in a long time. Wonderful kind, generous staff, quick service. Seems like the employees like working here and are proud of their food and service. Interior is clean and has comfortable seating and low lighting. Prices are INCREDIBLE. 10/10 read more

I've gotten Pad Thai to go multiple times and it's amazing every time. I'm not a huge fan of peanuts and they're great about making sure there aren't any in my food read more

Amazing on all levels. Service, food, ambiance, and my sweet serve PIM always makes me feel welcomed and taken care off. My Thursday night go to spot for my wife and I. Here at least twice a month and will always be coming back. Give it a try, you won't regret it! read more

The Service was excellent and food was delicious would definitely recommend to friends and family

Double charged and never refunded. The manager, Ken, was extremely rude, condescending, and disrespectful when I tried to alert him of the issue. He was interrupting me, laughing at me, and gaslighting me the whole time, when I have proof of double charges not being voided. I asked him to look up the second charge in the system and he just said he can't go back that far and I'm wrong. Disputing this charge and never going back to support this behavior. The food was fine but I can get great Thai food from Orange Thai down the road for the same price if not cheaper, along with excellent customer service and a manager who took full accountability in a very kind way when the restaurant once messed up my order. read more

Great hidden gem just a block up Main Street from the bustling main area. Really good. Fresh food with high quality ingredients at a great price. Quick service. read more

Great Thai food with authentic flavors! Highly recommend the sampler, Tom Kha, and the affordable $15 Papaya salad. Excellent service --we'll definitely be back to try the vegetarian options! read more

My boyfriend and I have been coming here for a while now. I have ordered it for pick up, to go, and DoorDash and it's great everytime! No notes, 10/10! It's actually perfect. We get the pad see ew, beef and the chicken pad Thai and the yellow curry chicken. Their fried rice is also really good! highly recommend going to the beach and ending here with some home cooked Thai food - they have plenty of eat-in seating. read more

Still my favorite. The rice is always so good and the yellow chicken curry is my favorite of any I've had. Open late, great service, everything on the menu is delicious. read more

The food was delicious. Very fresh and flavorful. It was ordered and delivered within an hour. Delivery is free.

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! read more

Their hours make this one of the only places open at night. Sweet people open pretty much every day rain or shine.

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! read more

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 read more

How did you spend your Friday? My wife and I actually marched from the HB public library on Main Street to the pier plaza in support of keeping our local public libraries ...... well.... public. After waving flags and banners, we needed a drink and grabbed a tall beer at Killarny's then finished the evening with dinner at Thai Wave. We've lived in HB for 22 years and never knew this place was here. What a bummer! There is a cheap and delicious Thai place right on Main Street? It's been here a while, across the street from the library, Triangle Park and right next door to Cucina Alessa. My fellow protesters have been regulars here and the four of us had a great meal. Cold sake, tall beers, Tom Ka seafood soup, vegetable curry and shrimp garlic noodles. All delicious. Service was super sweet and the meal was surprisingly affordable. The restaurant is small and cute and we won't hesitate coming back here. read more

Love this little place. Super cute inside and try to go here whenever I'm in the area. Service is always friendly and attentive and they treat you like a regular. Food is amazing... they have best spicy eggplant and pretty much everything is delicious. Generous servings for price. Very kid friendly. Always my fave place. read more

Been coming here almost weekly for about the last 2 years, and for good reason! The food is always fresh and flavorful, and they are always expanding the menu and adding new dishes (the orange chicken is probably the best I've ever had). Other highlights include the Khao Soi, the various curries, and the Rama (peanut lover). Come during the week for the $5 happy hour appetizers -- the egg rolls are very crunchy and full of good veggies. The staff are very friendly, they always smile and know our ordering habits. Overall, definitely a staple for us in downtown and I hope to continue eating here for a long time to come. read more

My go to Thai restaurant - a hidden gem. Calamari is great if made with Tempura, it changed a few months ago, I hope it goes back to it. I recommend the Pad Se Ew (best when it's all sea food). Family loves the fried rice and chicken curry! Staff is very welcoming and restaurant is far enough from downtown that offers a quiet ambiance. When I'm tired - I order on yelp, and get an on time delivery. Food is always warm. read more

So good had the basil chicken wings, spring rolls, fried rice and beef pad see u and all was so good

This is an delivery order only . I ordered Hainanese Chicken and it also included a free mango cake dessert. To my surprise that the flavor was really yummy especially the sauce you dipped with soft tender juicy chicken. The chicken sauce soaked rice with couple fresh cucumber to clean your palate too. The portion is pretty good for the price . I will definitely visit the store next time to try out other dishes. read more

Thai Wave is our go to for delicious, quality, and still somehow affordable Thai food! The owners and employees are always so kind and helpful. We often order online for take out or delivery and it's a breeze. Our favorites are the chicken pad Thai, beef pad see ew, pineapple fried rice with chicken, spring roles, and yellow curry. All delicious every time! read more

Food is meh, employees have a HUGE attitude. Restaurant is completely dead at peak dinner time.

Service was excellent. Food was fresh and well cooked-delicious Prig King in particular! read more

It's very cozy. The Thai iced tea is great. It's sweet but has a bit of an herbal taste which is balanced with a delightful cream. The people are very sweet and the food is served very quick. The pad thai was very flavorful and delicious. It's served piping hot so be careful while eating it. It also has a nice bite to it. It's amazing and I would definitely recommend it. read more

We've recently discovered this place and already have been here a couple of times. The food is good. They have a more extensive menu than the smaller Thai places around. It's more of a sit-down place with better ambience than the mostly takeout/fast food places. That being said, the food was served quickly and fresh. Get here before Happy Hour ends and get a good discount on beer. My wife is vegan and she has ample dishes from which to choose. We will be back. read more

I've lived in Huntington Beach now for 8 years and have been getting delivery from here ever since. The lunch specials that you can order all day have an insane amount of food and options. Highly recommend the pad se ew and the jerky is also really good read more

Ordered food through Uber eats and got incorrect order of papaya salad delivered, asked for veggie option but got the one with shrimp delivered. Restaurant refused to get a replacement veggie option even when I offered to bring in the wrong order. After all this , the salad and food was sub par. The salad had half a quarter of a cabbage that was not even shredded and uncooked shrimp with a piece of bread inside it. I have never seen a salad with these mix of ingredients that taste this weird especially after wrong order and bad customer care. I will never go back to this restaurant. More than the bad food , the restaurant response was more disappointing. read more

My wife and I stopped in for the first time tonight. We have driven past it hundreds of times, but finally stopped in as we were wanting something lighter for dinner. The staff was super friendly, we ordered the chicken pad woon sen, which was refreshing and delicious, and we ordered the chicken pineapple fried rice, which my wife loved. I highly recommend Thai Wave for anyone looking for a good Thai meal! read more

I regret having to downgrade this restaurant to 2 stars but I won't be able to eat here again. It's because on my last meal here, the chicken just did not taste good. And don't get me wrong--it was not unhealthy chicken or chicken that will make you sick--it's just that it was dried out, tasteless, and every bite gave you that bad after-taste. I asked the one of the very nice staff members here if they are using fresh chicken that they cut up themselves or frozen pre-cut pieces from a microwave which is what it tasted like? She assured me that it was fresh chicken they prepare in-house. Then my recommendation is that they need to sit down and review the prep process and reach out to other Thai restaurants for suggestions on how to improve it because I can't eat that again. I know it can be a lot better because I dine out at a lot of Thai restaurants where it is a lot better. Likewise I have been to some other Thai restaurants over the years where the chicken also tasted bad like it did here. It's a matter of learning what the best prep is and do that everyday. It's a challenge in restaurants and in my kitchen too to deliver tender tasty chicken. The rest of the ingredients here were fine--great eggplant and peppers and the atmosphere and service here are always great--just work on the chicken please. I am sorry to have to report this experience. read more
