This place was good. I went at prime-time-lunchtime and didn't have any trouble parking or getting in. I opted to take-out. My order was given to me in a timely manner. prices were a little steep for the amount of food they gave me. Not sure if it's the same for dine-in. But the amount of food they gave me was about 2 servings (1.25 hungry american servings). Most places for that price are catered to share the item and are larger. Food itself tasted good. Nothing really stood out for me. It was good and I'd go back but it wasn't anything that I would crave over other Thai places. Although I DO LIKE that they do have the option to order brown rice instead of regular rice but I was not aware of this until I found them on Eat24. They require $10 min for all credit card transactions and for Eat24, they require a $20 order for delivery. I ordered: Yellow Curry Beef w/ jasmine rice and a Thai Iced Tea - total cost was a little over $11. read more

Aura Thai - pineapple fried rice - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

I called to order and was so glad the person was knowledgeable of what dishes could be made vegan. She said the curries weren't vegan because of the fish paste. But the vegetable soup was vegan, and it didn't disappoint! It was so flavorful with seemingly few ingredients: rice noodles (vermicelli?), carrot, celery, sprouts, tofu, and I'm sure there was lime juice in there. So yummy! read more

working nearby and needed something close & convenient eat & picked up their ORANGE CHICKEN & RICE , so Good , definitely recommend read more

Aura Thai - Nothing left behind , delicious - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

They were super fast!!! 20 minutes early than what was listed. The food was good, kind of bland. But might try them again.

Orange Chicken was delish, so was the noodles, but the mango sticky rice was out of this world. The mango was ripe and so sweet, I wish I had bought another one of those. read more

The food is delicious! I've tried the Pla Koong, Tom Yum, fried shrimp, and shrimp pad Thai and everything has tasted so good. The place is small but comfortable, and the service is great. And, you can't forget about the 10% check in discount! This place is definitely worth going back to, so I'm glad its close to home :) read more

I ordered via DoorDash for my first time from this restaurant. The order came on time and it was well packaged. Thai ice tea was great and my shrimp pad Thai was a 4 out of five. Good size and lots of prawns. It was a bit dry and prawns were a bit over cooked but the flavor was nice and noodles had good chewy texture and not mushy. Then I had the mango sticky rice dessert and OMGEE it was the best I've had ever! 6 out of 5! I still have a noodle soup left to eat but that pad Thai was so big I have no room left. That Pad Thai was lunch and dinner! I will certainly reorder from Aura and try other items. read more

The food was okay at best... small portions for the lunch menu and the salad dressing was really sweet.. but that's not the issue. I went in by myself for lunch during my break at work. They have a lunch specials menu with teams at $7.95. That's what I ordered. Once the check came I gave the guy my card.. he then came back saying the total had to be $10 to use my card.. I found it surprising because a lot of people go get "lunch specials" during the week when they are eating solo. So there's no way this "deal" would work for one person. Mind you.. NO WHERE ON THE MENU DID IT MENTION THIS REQUIREMENT...but instead of just letting it slide due to their lack of communication of that expectation, he made me buy a bottle of freaking Costco water for $1.50 after I just finished eating and said multiple times I didn't want anything else... literally these are the bottles of water Costco themselves sell for $.25 as you're walking out the door. I asked him where it said it was mandatory to spend $10 in order to use a card and he just kept ignoring and talking over me saying "a water will be enough to make it $10... or how about a thai tea?" Like.. no.. I'm full. I have unlimited free water at work... and I don't want a thai iced tea.. Horrible customer service. They should acknowledge they don't have that advertised on the menu and slide my damn card through at $8 and some change.. instead they just lost a customer and are getting yet ANOTHER one star review... ridiculous. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while. I saw the stars arent that impressive in Yelp but I thought I still needed to give it a try. I have to say I was very unimpressed. I ordered basil eggplant and it was pretty bland. I'm not sure what it needed (maybe garlic or sugar) but it was not very tasteful and the chicken was bad. Very hard and like shoe leather. On the upside they do serve a very generous portion of potstickers! Anyway I wanted yo like them, I really did. read more

Aura Thai - Pretty tasteless and the chicken was tough like shoe leather. - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

I decided to try this place out as I pass by this place all the time going to and from work. At first I never really noticed it because it's tucked behind the Jamba Juice. The above average reviews on Yelp was the deciding factor to finally go ahead a try it. One of the complaints I read in the prior reviews was that the delivery wasn't so good. I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and ordered online via GrubHub.com I ordered my two favorites - Pad Thai and Yellow Curry (both chicken) and two Thai Iced Teas. Also, since my mother is on a no/low sodium diet, I asked them if possible not to add any salt. Delivery was prompt. Chris, the man who delivered, was very nice. So, I give service high points. The Food: The Pad Thai was excellent. The serving size was what I expected, which is a very nice portion. The Yellow Curry was very good as well - nice large chunks of veggies and chicken. I asked for no salt, and it seems they did a very good job adhering to our request. The thai iced tea was exactly what I needed. I'll be ordering again soon. read more

The portions were perfect, price is perfect, service was perfect and answered any of my questions. It's a lovely spot, will definitely come back ! ( recommend the Tom sum / papaya salad ) :) read more

Fantastic: I've been to a lot of Thai places, and this place definitely competes with the best of them. We had the drunken noodles (excellent, though I thought the calamari was a bit bland; I'd probably go for chicken and beef instead of chicken and calamari next time - it was particularly basily, though, for pad kee mao, which I quite liked), the fried rice (decent, made excellent when we asked for a bit of lemon to add to it; they should probably do that themselves...), and a sausage appetizer (crazy good; so good my girlfriend said "I need to try making this"). Also tried an interesting take on thai tea that used lemon juice instead of cream, which was also extremely good. Service was excellent, too. (Prices are... about the same prices you see at any Thai place anywhere.) Later we went back, this time with 4 people, so we got to try some new things. I did confirm my expectations, and that it was not a fluke: service was still great, sausage appetizer was just as fantastic, their pad kee mao ("drunken noodles", according to the menu) was just as basily and just as delicious, the fried rice was still pretty bland. New things we tried: their stir-fry (we had the one with ginger) was also pretty boring, the shrimp cakes were good but not amazing, and the bbq pork (with "crunchy pork" and a different kind of sausage) was *super* fantastic. So not everything was that impressive, but enough was that I would definitely still come back. (And I know what I would get - the bbq pork, pad ke mao, and at *least* one order of their sausage.) One warning: their parking lot is kinda small if it's busy. read more

For good Thai food, we'll usually hit up Long Beach Thai Restaurant on Redondo. Yes, very creative name :) But being a bit north, we decided to stay in the area. Aura Thai is a solid find in the Bixby Knolls neighborhood. They have lunch specials for about $7, which comes with rice, salad, and a main dish. Got the yellow curry with chicken, which was the perfect blend of coconut milk and Thai spices, mixed with veggies. You can also play around with the spiciness factor. Yum! They have some patio seats as well, with large umbrellas, great for an early afternoon lunch! Grab some thai iced tea while you're at it. And don't forget to check-in and score 10% off your receipt for cash payers. read more

I got takeout and service was fast but the food was only okay. I ordered an eggplant and tofu entree and tofu didn't look as fresh and it could have used more salt. The pad Thai and beef salad was good though. read more

I really enjoyed this place! They have great customer service- very friendly servers, who frequently come to check up on their patrons to see how they're enjoying their food, if anyone needs more water, etc. Their pad Thai was delicious! Not too spicy and so good! Their portions are generous, and they serve the food quickly! I like where they're located, in the heart and hub of BK. Their restroom is clean and tidy. I will definitely come back to this place,, they were very kind and friendly to my friend and her daughter, who come here frequently. read more

That's my second time here and the place is very clean and so quiet the service is very good and the food is delicious. I would definitely come back here. read more

Aura Thai - Yellow curry with chicken. - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

Worst Thai I have ever had. Went in and ordered a spicy Crispy pork and it was inedible. The meat (the tiny amount given) was harder than a rock and not slick. I asked specifically for hot and was told it was too hot... mainly cause I was not of the Thai origin. This food was absolutely gross and will be suggesting against it for whoever wants to go there read more

Aura Thai - Littered in watery sauce and about 3 oz of meat - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

My wife ordered eggplant with beef. The beef was like chewing on leather, very tough. I order a Thai salad which I specified to be mild. It was so spicy, my lips we're burning. I told the waitress that mine was way too spicy, and not mild at all. She insisted several times that it was not spicy ‍. I also told her that my wife's beef was very tough. She didn't even respond. When it came time to pay the bill, she rotated the tablet so I could specify the tip. I quickly selected the big goose egg.... $0. She then asked me if I left the tip on the table, I told her no and reminded her that my salad was not mild as requested, and my wife's beef was tougher than Mike Tyson. read more

Hands down the BEST Thai restaurant I've ever had. Seriously every dish there is filled with lots of flavor, you'll lick your plate clean!! Been coming here for years now and never came around to writing a review. Noticed they only have 3.5 stars so right away came and gave my 2 cents. Lol P.S: The girls are so sweet and very welcoming. Try it and see for yourself. You won't walk away disappointed. read more

The orange chicken and the chow mein had no flavor unfortunately. The pad see ew was good.

I work in Bixby Knolls area and some of my favorite restaurants are closed on Monday. Today I was out looking for something new and saw this place. I had been to the building a few times when it was a Hawaiian restaurant. I'm no expert on Thai food but I know what I like. I had the yellow curry with shrimp and a side of brown rice. The curry was yummy. It had plenty of bamboo shoots and sweet carrots that were perfectly cooked. There were 5 large shrimps in the bowl (an excellent value for $2). Very good. The brown rice was cooked perfectly. I put fish sauce on it as well as curry. My waitress was good. I was there at 230 and they had customers seated at tables. Took an order of fried banana egg rolls to go. I liked them too. Again,not an expert so I can't speak about how authentic it is but I enjoyed it and will be back. Nice people and tasty food. read more

I am really surprised that this place does not have more stars! Its my favorite local thai place. I order from here atleast once a week. The food is fantastic, affordable, and the service is great. Their green curry, drunken noodles, and tom yum are my favorite. Flavors are just right. Ive been to Thailand many times too so I know! This place is great and deserves better reviews! read more

Loosing its quality. The PadThai is usually good. Now it is dry and all noodles, no veggies, no meat. It seems like they cook a big batch and I got the last serving. It came as mixed too... what happen to presentation? This place is becoming mediocre... my PadThai today came like this (see picture). Look at my PadThai, all noodles, no meat... sad! read more

One of the best Asian food place in my neighbourhood. I'm happy with everything! Good guys, good service! Recommend to everyone!

The food is okay. It doesn't taste as authentic as other thai places in LB but still decent.

Super awesome Thai place, fast takeout and lots of vegan options. Super good!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally know that delivery is never the same as eating in the restaurant, but with the quarantine, we obviously can only get takeout. The wait was a bit longer when I placed my order via UberEats. It initially quotes me 7:10 PM but when the restaurant confirmed at 7:00, it would be ready at 7:30 PM. No biggie at all considering I have nothing better to do with my time and I like the fresh air while I wait in my car. There was a lovely gentleman there and he was nice. I feel like the service here would be great. The food is great, don't get me wrong. I really liked the flavor of everything. The garlic sauce here is so amazing and fragrant, I love it. Just disappointed in the amount of protein I got in all my dishes. I ordered a chicken pad Thai and only received probably... a 1/5 of a whole chicken breast fillet. The flavor is good for the pad Thai, just wish there was a good protein to noodle proportion. The shrimp in garlic sauce was delicious. Probably one of my favorite dishes here. It also had the same issue as the pad Thai, not enough shrimp especially if I have to pay extra for it. In the entire meal, there was only 6 small shrimp with a bunch of veggies. I love the veggies, but I was honestly expecting way more protein in this one. Sticky rice is sticky rice. Chicken satay And the Grillled moo ping were probably my least favorite apps here. Just really dry and super salty (this is saying a lot since I use add a crap ton of salt on my things). I ordered an extra order of sticky rice and it wasn't packed. Though it was only $4-5 for the extra side, it would've been nice to have. Overall i would've tried to give it 3.5 stars this place a higher rating considering this is during the quarantine and businesses are struggling right now. Regardless, I think this would be a good place to eat at compared to getting delivery/takeout. read more

I think I came here expecting a little too much. My sister loves this place for their Thai boat noodle but after coming here twice, the second time giving it another shot to redeem itself, it is still not what I expected it to be. Their Thai boat was okay, certainly not great though. I thought it was more on the sour side, more like Tom Yum and I've had mom and pops shop Thai Boat which I thought hands down, bomb! Both times, the store was well cleaned and customer service was up to par. Rating is solely based off the flavor of their Thai boat. I do look forward to try other items next time with a review update. read more

The food here is soo good, I love their Panang Curry! Their menu has a great amount of options that cover different types of Thai food and friendly to those that have a more restricted diet. First time eating was a huge take out order for lunch at work and I've kept ordering Thai food here ever since. read more

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! We who love & live in Bixby Knolls would so much appreciate if you would clean up the appearance of your restaurant. We take so much pride in our wonderful neighborhood. It says a lot to your potential customers when the walk by your establishment and see old equipment tied up outside for years, tons of clutter in your exterior windows, taped up paper signs everywhere. We would love to take this post down and instead brag about what a wonderful contribution you are to Bixby Knolls. PLEASE take/show a little pride in your business and make us all proud. It cost very little to no money to spruce up your place, please do so. The current eyesore is unacceptable. Thanks so much in advance. --BK Neighborhood Beautification Committee. read more

This is good Thai food. I eat here at least once a week sometimes more. I'm a picky rice person and their rice is cooked like it should be. Not sticky or mushy. I always order Shrimp fried rice, chicken pad Thai and Tom Kha soup. Try it, you'll enjoy. read more

I cannot express how much I enjoy having this place so close to my home. I ordered krapow with tofu, cashew nut with chicken and yellow curry with chicken. The curry was sweet and melted into my rice to make a delicious traditional bite. The krapow was AMAZING and the fresh taste of basil and the crunchy green beans surrounding a delectable piece of tofu made my mouth smile. The cashew nut chicken was fresh, tasty and savory. The person I spoke to on the phone was so bubbly and friendly to talk to. I totally recommend these dishes! read more

The Food here is great, however, the cashier was very rude. Zero eye contact, bad attitude and did not bother to hand me my take out bag after I spent nearly 20 dollars on food. It's bad when you have to reach over the counter to grab your food, without the courtesy of at least "Thank you, have a nice day". I literally had to ask her if it's ok to take my food. I'll go back when she is no longer working there. Unfortunately I did not get her name. read more
