I have only experienced their food via take out. I felt like there was a lack of transparency around pricing because I couldn't find a priced menu online and when I called in my order I wasn't given a total or told that there was a 4% card surcharge. So the base prices were higher, plus there was 4% on top. So I ended up paying $27.55 for a tofu appetizer and mango fried rice which seems excessive. The food was good, I don't have any complaints about that, I just wouldn't have placed the order if I had known that was going to be the price. read more

FOOD: Firecracker wings- A+. The wings were large, flavorful and stayed crispy, even though I took them to go. Chicken satays- C. The chicken was tender and well grilled . The flavor on them could've been a little stronger. Shrimp pad see ew- A. Delicious. Lots of shrimp, they were perfectly deveined and ready to eat. The noodles and sauce were good. The noodles did not stick together, which is how I judge all pad see ew. I would definitely have this again. Egg rolls- B+. They were crisp and filled with fresh veggies. I like that they use glass noodles in their eggrolls. They came with a nice sweet-and-sour sauce. Mango sticky rice- C-. I know this sounds funny, but the rice was way too sticky and hard to cut. The mango was nice and ripe, and the coconut sauce was OK. The Thai tea was very good. A+. I could tell they used a high-quality tea mix. SERVICE: the service was fantastic. Food to go, and it was nicely packaged. The woman who served me is named Dream. What a cool name and she packaged the food like a dream. AMBIENCE: the restaurant shares a patio with Thunderbolt pizza. There's inside seating and the restaurant looked clean and inviting. Parking can be tight. read more

Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen needs soup for her sick son...stat! We had the tom ka Kai soup, larb, and egg rolls. All were delicious! We will be back to try more menu items. Hoping the soup and spices mitigate the spring to summer cold yucks! The end. read more

We order take out from here regularly and it's always delicious and prompt. I have tried several different things on the menu and yet to be disappointed. Standouts are the Chinese broccoli and crispy rice dish, and the firecracker wings are quite possibly the most perfect wings ever read more

If you're looking for delicious Thai food in Long Beach, Aura Thai is a must-try. We go to this place pretty often and recently ordered from them for my wife's birthday party as well and it was such a great experience. They just launched their new party tray menu, so we decided to give it a try and wow, it was a hit! Every single dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Our guests kept asking where the food was from and everyone loved it. The portions were generous and perfect for hosting a group. Some of our favorites were the Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, Panang Curry, and the Thai BBQ Chicken, everything tasted good. The owner and the workers are genuinely kind, welcoming people who care about their customers. They made the ordering process easy and were very accommodating with details. We will definitely be ordering again and recommending Aura Thai to all our friends and family. read more

Aura Thai - Party tray was very delicious! - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

I've been here so many times and it always hits! My favorites are the yellow curry, drunken noodles and satay chicken! It's right across a very busy pizza spot, I'm surprised they're not equally as busy! The family is nice as well and the ambiance is very calm and comfortable. I will be back again of course. read more

Downgraded review from 5 to 3 (should be a 2, but I like Alex too much). They made a mistake on my order, which happens. I called to explain the mix up, and they made me feel like I was wrong rather than correct their error. This had been our go-to Thai place since COVID; they disappointed us today. read more

Aura Thai has my favorite yellow curry. The flavor is so rich and creamy with the perfect balance of spice and sweetness. The potatoes and vegetables are always cooked perfectly and the curry itself is incredibly flavorful. It's the kind of dish you keep thinking about after you leave. Servic wis always amazing! Sweetest staff ever. Everything tastes fresh and the portions are great. If you love yellow curry, this place is a must. I'll definitely keep coming back for it. read more

These people are thieves charged me $30 for egg rolls and spicy shrimp fried rice. The prices online are different (less expensive). You can look for yourself, I'm adding the receipt so that you could see what I'm talking about. Not only that, but the woman had the nerve to ask for a tip. We did not give her one because we already knew she was overcharging us. Then she purposely restarted the entire transaction and asked for tip again when we clearly told her we are not tipping because she is overcharging us. I don't know if she was the owner or just a worker but this is shady business. The sad part is we order food from this place all the time and I don't know if it's under new management or ownership now, but we have never been ripped off. Ps.. only 6 small shrimps in the rice order. SMH read more

Aura Thai - Yellow curry - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

The food here is not really authentic Thai. Ordered to go; the Thai Boat Noodle and Krapow Pork The Thai Boat Noodle Broth is sweet, no savory richness, no darkness, no blood. The Broth is pretty much translucent brown. The Krapow Pork; you'd expected to be ground meat as authentic as possible. They were slices of pork. Also they have Green Beans! Not authentic. Also upon bagging the, no utensils or napkins were provided, no sauces or condiments. The food was not edible, eventually tossed out. read more

Firecracker wings was the favorite part of our meal that we ordered it twice because it was crispy and had good flavor. The chicken was tender and not dry. If you order medium spice, be prepared because it is spicy. The Orange chicken was crispy yet tangy--definitely helped that it came with rice or it would've been a very sour dish on its own. Drunken noodles kind of was disappointing because it wasn't as salty or flavorful as most places but highlight would be that they used really big/wide noodles. Friendly service. Ambiance is casual. read more

Aura Thai - Thai Iced Tea, Panang Curry, Orange Chicken, Drunken Noodles, Firecracker Wings - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

This is my go-to Thai place when I'm in the mood for something healthy and light. I usually get the eggplant chicken, which is seasoned to perfection. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of it. I guess every time I order this, I don't have time for all that lol Service is always good; they are really friendly here. I never ate at the restaurant; it's usually always pick-up, and it's always ready way before the estimated time. read more

Yet another amazing trip to Aura Thai. Absolutely loved the yellow curry. It had a wonderful sweet yet spicy flavor to it. It was just what I was looking for on this day! The LARGE thai iced tea. Folks, it's served in a doggon vase. It is large lol Thanks Chris for a great lunch at your place read more

Delivery food ordered. Received Won Ton Soup, Curry Chicken, Pad Thai Noodles and Thai Ice Tea. All were delicious, no complaints. I gave this place 4 of 5 stars since I did not actually dine at this location. I was not able to experience the full vibe. Food is delicious which is all that mattered. Serving size is decent. Since the food was so good, I actually wanted more and was not satisfied by the serving size provided. read more

Great food always! Cozy and friendly atmosphere! All of the staff are so nice and welcoming.

This review is going to hurt. Because the customer service is 5/5. But the food is 1/5. 1 star for good flavoring. The rest is pretty bad. The drunken noodles were so stuck to each other it was just a pile of goop that formed to the plate. The only way to eat it was to cut up chunks of it at a time like it was jello. Although ordering it with meat, the dish was filled with veggies for more than half the space. read more

Aura Thai - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

This used to be our favorite neighborhood Thai restaurant. The reason it "used to be" is because the quality of the food hs gone down while the price of the food has almost gone up 100% over the past 5 years. We supported this restaurant during COVID and it is really difficult to spend $40 for two takeout dishes. It would be one thing if we were sitting in the restaurant, being served high quality food, but takeout should not cost this much. It was good while it lasted, but we will be looking for a new Thai restaurant in our neighborhood. Any suggestions?? Leave a comment. read more

I've had a decent experience with Aura Thai. The ambiance is like a little cafe in a little shopping plaza. It's cozy. The service is 10/10 & the food is just as tasty. I've always passed by the restaurant and didn't try them out until a year ago. I've ordered the classic Thai dishes like Penang curry, duck curry, Pad Thai, Tom kha soup etc. They're made at a decent pace. I do notice the food is more Thai-Chinese leaning given their menu. Nothing bad to write about. I haven't tried the other dishes much. For the other reviews complaining about price, it's important to note how third parties will tack on extra fees and $ to get a profit. So If you're trying to save it's always best to order directly over the phone with the restaurant. Also cash is always king. When it comes to owning a restaurant you have to look at their expenses: real estate, inflation, supply vs demand etc. Bixby knolls years ago was empty, now it's bustling with many restaurants. I'm sure their rent has gone up too. I will agree yes, eating out is expensive and dishes do add up ! read more

I've been coming to aura Thai for years and it's been a bit since I've ordered from here but I was shocked with the prices now. I ordered four dishes for pick up and they came out to $70 total not including tip. The food isn't bad but it isn't great either so it's definitely not worth the price. I ordered a fried rice, chow mein and 2 glass noodle salads. I thought it would be about $55 or so. I usually spend $50 for pho for fam of 5 (3 of which are children) or $80 at my favorite Thai place for 6 different plates. I don't think I'll be back read more

I love supporting local restaurants, I had gotten back into town didn't want to cook. I ordered a pizza from #thunderbolt, as I was leaving I noticed the sign for fire pepper wings. I love wings so I ordered wings 10 minutes was my wait time . It's a cute restaurant you may dine inside or out which I love the option. The wings were yummy will definitely order again. When we arrived home my daughter realized she didn't have her purse called the restaurant it was left hanging on a chair , glad I only live 10 minutes away... read more

Aura Thai - Firecracker Wings ***Must Try*** - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

The ordering process was easy, everyone was friendly when I picked up my order, and the Pad Thai and yellow curry were both delicious.

This restaurant is a bit of a hole in the wall Thai place in Long Beach. Came on a Thursday night and dined in with no wait. The food overall was just ok compared to the many other options for Thai in Long Beach. I ordered the Thai Basil fried rice and it just tasted like regular fried rice, no Thai basil flavor at all like I'm used to with this dish. I tasted the Tom Kha soup and it was actually really good and full of flavor. The firecracker wings had great flavor and crunch, only downfall is that the wings had a lot of fat on them. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back but the food was ok! read more

This is now, by far, one of our top Thai spots! Their staff is always friendly and courteous and their food is delicious. Their food is always so consistent and there's never a second guess on how it will be when we order. We love getting their pad thai and pad see ew. It's always very good. Keep it up Aura Thai!!! read more

Probably my favorite place to eat well I order for delivery, but I can't say enough about how nice they are and how yummy their food is, I think the Ora salad is my favorite and the mango on sticky rice is just so yummy. This was the first place we ordered from when we moved to our Long Beach house in 2014 and we're leaving California in a couple of months and this is gonna be the only place I miss read more

We love Aura Thai, so much so we sadly ordered it on DoorDash at least once a week and spend a few hundred here a month. Totally worth it though. Going to message them about a minor issue we had but nothing worth basing an opinion on. Go here, you won't regret it! Thank you, Aura Thai! read more

This USE to be our spot. I'm here now and received cold food and ATTITUDE, asked for food to be warm and ATTITUDE. Showed my man the can of beer I got him from local brewery and the rude person said YOU CANNOT HAVE THAT HERE - it's 11am I was just showing him not drinking. The prices are out of control and truth be told I'd go to my other spot downtown before here - moving forward. Sad and there must be new owners!!! Get it together AURA THAI read more

I ordered takeout for pick up directly using the Yelp app. The tracking provided does not track. My food was ready way before the tracker said it was. Kind of weird. Parking is really small so you might struggle a bit looking for that. Crab fried rice: kind of bland, strong fishy flavor, a little dry Pad see ew: noodles were over cooked, lacked flavor Crispy pork: delicious flavor, crispiness was there, broccoli was good too Overall the parking is tough and food is lacking a lot of flavor. read more

Had a great experience ordering takeout for lunch! The food was ready quickly and the staff had safety protocols in place, so I felt safe ---Drunken noodles with chicken: LOVE that one of the options for spiciness level is Thai Spicy (the noodles were actually spicy). Noodles were cooked well and they added a nice mix of veggies ---Thai fried rice: very addicting but I preferred the drunken noodles NOTE: located in the same plaza as Jamba Juice so you can use the back parking lot read more

I'm a die hard tom yum noodle fan who orders it every time I try a new Thai restaurant. This place has the best tom yum noodle I've had so far, and I've been to Thailand. Note that tom yum noodle is not exactly traditional as usually tom yum is served with white rice. Other restaurants add minced meat, meatballs, fish cakes, etc ... and it's just wrong. Here you get the traditional ingredients + rice noodle. I've tried other dishes at this restaurant and to be honest they're not worth skipping the tom yum noodle, so I always stick to it now. read more
