“One of my fav Thai restaurants in Orange County. fried chicken dish is always a banger- the chicken pieces are fried perfectly with super crispy outer layer while maintaining the juiciness inside and pairs super well with the sweet chili sauce provided on the side. Pad kee Mao was flavorful and had a spiciness that was enjoyable. Panang curry with steak was yummy (steak was super tender) but wish there were more veggies included. Great portion size and price is pretty reasonable! Def come early since the place can get packed quick”

“Been wanting to try this place because I love Hainan chicken. Let's start with the things I didn't like. I hated the parking. I thought they shared parking with the other businesses so when I turned into a parking lot, it wasn't connected so I had to go all the way around to actually get to the specific entrance so that was annoying. Also parking was horrible, no spaces so when I got to the dead end, it was hard to maneuver my car and make a complete 180 turn around. If some is behind you, good luck trying to turn around. When I ordered my food, you get to choose 2 sauces but it was specific. One hot sauce and one other sauce. I said i don't want the hot sauce, can i just have the other one and i had to pay extra!!!! Ugh, that it kind of not great because i feel like I shouldn't have to pay extra since I can't tolerate hot sauce. Other than that, the meal itself was yummy and would definitely recommend it.”

“Another good thai place in the locality. The drunken fried rice was pretty good, had great flavor, wonderful taste and delicious. The khao soi which we ordered was good too, but the consistency of it was way too thick than expected, and it was more towards on the sweeter side of the taste, even thought we ordered it as spicy . The quantity looked a small too for the price. However there are other menu items which look interesting and can't wait to explore other items.”

“Delish and great staff. The staff IS family and they treat not only their customers like family, but the other staff as well. That means a lot. We had a fun time with DJ and Pleng. About the food... We had 4 dishes... Hanuman's ceviche, Tom Kha Gai, Massaman, Pad See Ew and a nice glass of Malbec. My favorites were the ceviche and Massaman. But everything was so good. Hubs liked everything. There was literally no wait at 3 pm but come soon... Once word gets out this place will have a 45 min wait just like the mother location on Bristol.”

“The menu here has a nice mix of classic Thai comfort food and a few dishes with stronger, more traditional flavors. The pad kee mao is a good choice if you like spicy noodles with basil, while the panang curry is richer and creamier. The tom yum soup also brings that familiar balance of sour, spicy, and aromatic flavors. They also serve pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, papaya salad, crying tiger beef, larb, and several seafood dishes, so it’s easy to order a few plates and share. The setting is casual, and the food feels straightforward and satisfying rather than overly polished.”

“BBH Tom The BBH tom yum tasted like the traditional tom yum dish with packed with toppings. Spice level 2 felt closer to a medium spice level. Overall, I loved the flavors of the dishes and will be coming back to try other menu items. Customer Service was okay, but it was a bit hard to get the staff’s attention at times when it’s not crowded. We came before the dinner crowd, so the atmosphere was comfortable. It wasn’t too loud or too quiet — a nice balanced vibe for dining.”

“I have been going to Thai Pepper for decades now. There food is always just spot on and the lunch special of $9.95 is a great deal. You get an entree in which I always get The Mint Leaves Chicken, fried rice, two fried wontons and a salad. My only suggestion would be to put the salad in a separate little box so it does not get hot next to the hot food. Other than that the food is excellent and great prices. You can get it mild to very hot on the spice! I stick with mild and my friend always gets the level 10 hot, hot, 🔥🥵 HOT. I would die, but different strokes for different folks.👍🤤🎉”

“We had such a great experience at Lawa Thai Cuisine in Huntington Beach! 🇹🇭❤ Everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and really well balanced. The Grilled Pork Jowl was one of my favorites. The outside had a slightly charred, smoky flavor, while the meat inside was juicy, tender, and a little chewy in the best way. Rich in flavor without being too greasy. The Tom Yum Noodles were so comforting and full of flavor. The broth had that classic Thai combination of sour, spicy, and savory, with a nice citrusy kick. The Papaya Salad was super refreshing. I loved the crunchy texture of the shredded green papaya, mixed with tangy lime, savory seasoning, and just enough spice. It was light, crisp, and balanced the richer dishes perfectly. The Pad Thai with chicken was delicious too. The noodles were soft with a nice bite, coated in a slightly sweet, savory, and tangy sauce. The chicken was tender, and the whole dish was very comforting. The Hor-Mok Ta-Lay was probably the most memorable dish. It was served inside a coconut, which was so cute and such a fun presentation! 🥥✨ Inside were shrimp and scallops in a rich, creamy curry. The texture was silky and almost custard-like, with deep coconut flavor and lots of seafood sweetness. We also ordered a side of Roti, and this was a must! The outside was lightly crispy and flaky, while the inside stayed soft and chewy. Dipping the warm roti into the creamy curry was SO good. 😍 We finished with Mango Sticky Rice, and it was the perfect ending. The mango was sweet and juicy, the sticky rice was soft and chewy, and the coconut sauce added a creamy, slightly salty balance. Another big plus: they also offer a vegan menu, so there are great options for people who prefer plant-based dishes. 🌱 The service was friendly and welcoming, and the whole meal was enjoyable from start to finish. Also free parking and easy to find parking.”

“I’ve known about Bangkok Pai for quite a while. It’s located inside the T&K Plaza, a long established shopping center in the Bolsa area. I usually come here to order takeout for a quick lunch or on days when I feel too lazy to cook. Besides the classic Thai dishes like Pad See Ew and Pad Thai, their desserts really stand out to me. The prices are reasonable, and the quality is consistently good. My favorite dessert is the cassava topped with fresh shredded coconut. It’s slightly chewy, fragrant, and lightly sweet such a comforting and satisfying treat. Parking in this plaza can be a bit challenging since it’s a busy commercial area with many businesses. However, the affordable prices and friendly service make it worth it. I’ll definitely continue coming back to support long-standing local spots like this in the Bolsa neighborhood.”
