I really really really wanted to be able to give them more stars but I am pretty disappointed. Ordered food to go, Thai iced tea is the size of a child's drink at McDonald's. So for $3 not worth it, most places give you a much larger cup for to go. Also when I ordered the guy said it would be cheaper to get the lunch special of the yellow curry that I ordered and it would come with a small salad. Well I ended up with the lunch sized curry but no salad and was charged for the full price of a dinner sized curry :( And their jasmine rice...... Tastes like uncle bend microwaved white rice. He never asked me how spicy I wanted it so the receipt says medium, tastes like no spice was added. I will try them again because despite the curry not being spicy enough for my liking I'm sure if I specify next time it'll be fine. This could be a fluke that he mixed matched my order. So for now two stars but I'm willing to come back and try again, maybe eat there instead of to go. read more

As Arnold said: "I'll be back!" They have a good variety in the "lunch special" menu. Excellent service. I like the decoration and atmosphere of the restaurant. Tip: "mild" is still spicy. read more

So much love for this place! Just tried it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and blew me away. We have a short 45 minute break at work with very little around, so the 10 minute drive to Aura was a push. However when we ordered in advance, they gave us the full VIP treatment, reserving our table for us and having our food either on the table or ready to serve at the moment we were scheduled to arrive. Everything was presented beautifully, nice and hot, and so SO tasty! The Yellow Curry is my favorite for sure. Wait staff are also super nice! Pros: ~ THE FOOD. My co workers and I are willing to give up 20 mins of our lunch break to drive out to this food, and have always been in love. ~ Very helpful, having food ready to go when you have limited time ~ Lunch prices were very reasonable and good portions, always left full. ~ Great atmosphere, Stylish interior and exterior seating Cons: ~ Does sometimes take a bit of time to get our waters, but hey, it's lunch rush and that's my only complaint! (Other than why oh why can't they be closer to where I live!!) read more

Ok food. Untrustworthy delivery packaging. I ordered their soup for delivery. It was put in a plastic tub and wrapped in a plastic bag. The tub tipped, spilling the broth. The bag held the liquids until I pulled it out of the bag... On the plus side, the kitchen now smells like duck. read more

First, let me say Long Beach has sooo many good places to eat. I am a little picky with how I like my Thai food, and I can say I was not disappointed with Aura Thai! I ordered the beef salad mild, beef pad se ew, and fried wontons. The portions were pretty decent. My sister and I shared everything and we barely finished because we were just that full. Not only was I full, I was satisfied. The food was delicious and the service was fast. The prices were also very reasonable. Don't underestimate this little restaurant. It may be small, but the flavors speak volume! read more

This is my new go to place for delivery! Food was better than I expected and pretty generous portions than other places we've ordered from. Was feeling too lazy to cook on this rainy day, so we decided to order on grub hub. Wasn't too sure about this place with the mixed reviews, but the food was definitely pretty good. I got panang curry mild for my two toddlers- the flavor was great even without the spice. I got medium spice for the chinese broccoli with crispy pork and that was right on point. Not too spicy and Not too salty either. The pad thai was a little dry for my taste. Definitely easy ordering for lazy days and will be added to our list of go to delivery places.... Order about an hour to an hour and a half before you want to eat though if you're ordering during peak delivery hours like lunch or dinner. Waited a bit for our food, but not a big deal for us. Just a lesson learned for next time. read more

First time here and I was impressed. I ordered take - out and got the egg rolls, and mild chicken pad thai. I am pleased on how courteous they were upon walking in. I had a discount with this app always a + right!? The food was still warm, packaging nice, as well as the serving of pad thai I received. Overall satisfied, and will be back to try more of the menu. :) read more

I eat here at least once a week. I've eaten at a lot of Thai restaurants and this is my favorite. Everything is so damn good. My favorites: Tom Kha, yellow curry, and drunken noodle. YUM! Oh by the way, the coconut ice cream is to die for. :) read more

I had the yum yum soup, and my father had the red curry, both were medium heat, I would consider both were pleasantly spicy but definitely more then medium spice. My father had to take small breaks in eating because it was too spicy for him but we both enjoyed the flavors each dish offered. I'll definitely eat here again. read more

Food is good , tried better places , they do have great soups ! And their chili sauces are fire !

I give it 2 stars for the friendly service. I had the drunken noodles with chicken....the shit was nasty. Chicken was over cooked, under seasoned and other than the spice it was very bland. I eat drunken noodles all the time, here it was gross. I generally don't do reviews, but if I eat the food that is gross and still have too pay for it then I will put my 2 cents in. read more

The beef pad ewe was rated 4 stars by the person who chose that as their dinner. The won ton soup won tons had a floury taste and was rated 2 stars. The sweet sour was rated 3 stars. It averaged out to 3 stars. A plus is that the food was delivered within 30 min. from the order time. I plan to order again and try the dishes that were rated a favorite. The 4 star beef pad ewe was one of the customer favorites. I will definitely try again! read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE. We walk in and sit down. Look over the menu and 20 min later no one has come up to take our order. With three people standing at the front you would think someone would have asked us something or maybe possibly said hey we are a little busy bare with us. Then it gets worse. A different couple walks in and is seated, asked what they would like to drink, AND TAKES THEIR ORDER. WHAT THE HECK?!?!?! Were we invisible?? WE LEFT AND WE WILL NEVER COME BACK. THANKS AURA THAI...NOT! read more

Its okay...... If your big on thai food this place will dissapoint you. their interior decoration is nice!! I have eaten from here at least 4 times and every time i like it less. Their chicken satay is too small and dry. Flavor is really bland. They also do not have much to choose from like other thai food places. If your looking for better thai food i would go down the street to orange to aurawan thai. read more

I work around the area and this is our go-to place for take-out. This time we actually ate there and I was thoroughly impressed. I've had the pad thai to go and it was alright. Their pad see ew here tasted better than the pad thai, had lots of flavor. I'm sure the noodles would be better if we ate it hot at the restaurant. We got all different kinds of curry this time: green, yellow, panang. I think my favorite here was the yellow curry, but all of them were good. Mild spiciness was perfect for me, beware of anything hotter than medium. read more

Not a lot of flavor in the Pad Thai . The "comfy shrimp" was kinda funky- I do not think the shrimp were cleaned out so it went in the trash. Still okay tho, since my boyfriend liked the Chicken Satay. read more

Finally found an appetizing and quick lunch spot! I place my order online, and by the time I go and pick-up my food is waiting for me and not the other way around; I love it! I love the chicken pad-see-ew, it has the perfect amount of sauce and uses Chinese broccoli (other places I've been to will substitute it with regular broccoli). I also have to note their hot sauce. They don't water it down! And if you've been to a couple of Asian restaurants I know you've experienced having watery, thin hot sauce. Great service, fast, and good Thai iced tea; what's not to love about this place? read more

I have been meaning to try this place and I must say the food is good and service is good as well. It's on the corner of Carson and Atlantic it replaced the Hawaiin BBQ. The spruced up the place nicely, they added curtains and the lights was very interesting. The menu has a wide variety of thai food, beware if you don't eat spicy food order mild. I do like their bbq duck it's very tasty and it doesn't have that weird smell that duck has. The wait staff is nice and very friendly, I'll be definately coming back to this place again. read more

I've dined in and ordered delivery from Aura Thai for the past couple of years and was never disappointed. I've had a lot of different items from them, including noodles and curries, and they were all pretty delicious. Definitely recommended for anyone in the neighborhood who is craving their Thai food fix! read more

well...the Hawaiian place that was here I visited a couple times. The Kahlua pig was almost inedible, so I didn't return. Then...the new sign went up. Thai. OMG...there's gonna be Thai in the neighborhood. I was ecstatic. I came in for lunch and was ready for spicy. I ordered the cashew chicken...which is labeled as a spicy item. I requested it spicy. Unfortunately, it was not. The flavor was mild. I'm deeply disappointed. I'll give it another shot, but...dang. I hope this isn't like the hawaiian pork. read more

I really love this place. Great Thai food (I get the Pad Thai, which might be a bit on the sweet side, but is still delicious), really nice, friendly & helpful staff, and a really good deal (especially if you've got the Long Beach City Plus Pass, which gives 20% off dine-in visits!). Another bonus is that it's open 'til 10, which means I've got this place as an option when most other restaurants have closed up on the weekdays. Very convenient. This is definitely one of those local area businesses I love to support! Good food, great service, and excellent value. Highly recommended. read more

Orange Chicken with fried rice is my to go plate every time I come here. Hubby and I come here at least once a week and the food is delicious! read more

My wife and I are vegetarians and Chris (the owner) makes super tasty and fresh dishes to accomodate. He is very conscience about the needs of his customers. We used to live a minute away from this restaurant, but now drive 20 minutes to eat there. We suggest, you do the same, if you have to. I hear they may have Al Fresco dining, coming soon. read more

Aura Thai - Pad Thai at lunch just hit the spot. Get it with tofu for the vegetarian in you. - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

I'm hooked! The Pad See Iew with beef, medium spicy is divine! Soft flat noodles, good quality meat for price, slightly bitter Chinese broccoli compliments the sweet and tangy dark soy sauce. Have done pick-up and delivery, unable to break the Paw See Iew spell so no comment on other dishes. read more

Always friendly. I love how the employees make every visit personal how they never seem to forget a face. Excellent food. I absolutely love the garlic and pepper shrimp. read more

I like ordering from here when I'm at work. I've never actually been inside the restaurant. Delivery comes fast and food is awesome. My favorite dish in here is the fried pork with veggies. I ordered the hot drunken noodles before and boy was I happy with the spice. I've ordered here a few times now and will continue to order when the craving kicks in and when I forget lunch again. read more

The duck curry is my favorite by far however my default is beef Penang curry. Their food is consistent and is pretty authentic as far as I'm concerned (I'm half Thai and I frequent Thailand). However I don't recommend their Chinese inspired dishes, although I'd say the same about any Thai place. If you are going to a Thai restaurant, you should order a Thai dish. Just sayin'. Their Thai iced tea and Iced Coffee are refreshing and remind me of the streets of Thailand. The one thing I wish is that they had Massamun curry and that they offered ground pork as an option with Larb. They do have a $10 minimum for credit cards, but I'd rather that than not offer cards at all as some of the local businesses do. The awesome thing is you can pay via Paypal with Eat24 and the app makes it super easy to order online. read more

I always like to support all the new small businesses popping up in Bixby Knolls. So when I saw that this restaurant has taken over this space I was excited to try it. I ended up here picking up some take out for a family dinner because I really did not want to cook or grocery shopping. I ordered: Fried Wonton - its potatoes and curry in a fried wonton. Almost like a Thai version of a samosa. Pad Thai - with tofu. It was good. Not to sweet or tons of peanuts. great balance of ingredients. Orange Chicken - it was good version of orange chicken I would definitely come back and dine here and order take out again when I'm in the area. A great addition to Bixby Knolls. Parking - There is a parking lot, but I know that the lot can be chaotic at times. But there is lots of close by street parking. read more

I work near Aura Thai and my coworkers and I love to come here to satisfy our Thai food cravings! Our all time favorite dishes are the pad see ewe with fried tofu, panang curry, drunken noodles, and pad thai. I've tried a lot of their other dishes and they're all equally as delicious! Their Thai coffee is one of my favorites as well. Not only is their food tasty, the staff is so friendly and accommodating. We had a huge luncheon at work (100+ people) and we decided to get food catered from Aura Thai. Chris and Gap were so helpful and worked with us to create a menu that we wanted that fit in our budget. They also went the extra mile to store our bags of ice and bring it with them on the day of delivery! I definitely recommend this place whether you're looking for a nice place to grab lunch or looking to cater your next big party. read more

The staff was really nice and awesome but my pineapple fried rice tasted burnt even though it didn't look burnt. What a disappointment! I couldn't even finish it. If the food was better, the prices are reasonable. read more

Was craving Thai food but was stuck at a customer waiting on a load. Saw this place and all the reviews so yeaahh! Ordered a bunch of stuff but my fav was the drunken noodles with shrimp. The flavors were wonderful and the shrimp tasted fresh. A keeper! read more

Do not order roast duck anymore. This is the second time in a row that I ordered this and it's mostly duck skin and very little meat. They used to serve nice meaty pieces. They said it's how they get the duck from the vendor. They should change name to roast duck skin and charge half the price. read more

Aura Thai - Do not order the roast duck. Very little meat and mostly skin. - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

My favorite spot for Thai food. Garlic Pepper Shrimp!!! Orange chicken and calamari with chicken salad. Roasted duck and aura fried rice very good. Customer service is number 1 So far advanced than other Thai restaurants. read more

I had been seeing this place for a while and finally decided to have lunch with my family their one day. WE LOVE THAI FOOD. The decor of the lace is amazing but the food was just okay for us. I've had better tasting thai food and way better service.. The Pad See You( yes i know spelling is wrong but thats how dish is pronounced) didnt have much flavor. The chicken sautee was alright, was a bit lemony tasting. I wouldnt mind going again and trying different dishes and giving the place another shot. But at this moment i think i will just stick to my favorite thai place for now. read more

Aura thai is the best thai place in Long Beach you have to eat here there's chicken is the best and Pat's an awesome server too read more

What ever happened to customer service???!??? Made an online order called to make a small change to 1 item out of 4, 2 mins after placing and the rude lady that answered the phone said they wouldn't make the change because the food was already made and they would LOSE MONEY. Pre-made food? Order went in twos mins ago? You've got to be fucking joking. I pled with her and apologized for my mistake and still no budge. I asked her to cancel the order and she didn't care. NEVER ORDERING FROM THIS PLACE EVER AGAIN!!! read more

We love ordering from Aura Thai! The food is delicious and the service is always fast. My husband and I both like the pad Thai and spring rolls. I also like the red curry but the mildest option can be a bit spicy for me. My husband also always orders a Tom Kha Soup. And of course the Thai Iced Tea is delicious!! read more

. I placed the food delivery order an hour ago, the driver texted me he just got the pickup food order mins ago. I tried to call GH and they are busy for all other calls. It wasn't pleasant. It took us 1.5 hrs to have the dinner. I will not comment on anything else. read more

Nice ambience, definitely good for a date (romantic mood), and in a nice area. Nice decor, and the help is very attentive. Feels like a family-owned business. We loved the yellow curry! read more
