    Pad Thai
    Christopher T.

    Thai foods to go only, and CASH only. This place has been around for long long time and we ordered here for family gardening events. The foods are good, tasty and yummy. The menu is limited but just basic popular Thai dishes (noodles, rices, salads, and desserts). Prices are good and service is nice. The place is small but clean abs smell off all the cook goods when entered. Always enjoy the foods and service here. Ordered in advance would be highly recommended so easy and quick or you will have to wait for 7-10mins depending on how busy they are.

    crab meat fried rice, pad see ew with beef

    the portions were bigger than i expected and great for the price. service was nice and easy, but they only accept cash

    Papaya salad with crab (it's salted fermented crab)

    This is a to go only spot. My go to place for papaya salad. The portions are very generous with all orders and they have remained fairly priced over the years. Service is sometimes questionable but nevertheless straight forward. I believe they are cash only!!

    Medium size -shrimp fried rice

    Ordered a Shrimps Fried rice party tray (medium size) on 12/7/24 for pick up at 10:30AM. I came there at 10:20AM and the front lady told me to wait and then say something in Thai to the male chef to start cooking. Then after she handed me the tray neatly pack. The fried rice was just ok, nothing to rave about to be it needs more basil leaves. They only put like 7 leaves on top of the trays. The rice is lack of flavor... heard from most of my guests. The SHRIMPS however were over cooked and NO FLAVOR and mushy. Per previous Yelp review the shrimps are more plumb and juicy. The one we ordered toda tastes like boiled shrimps just mix in with the rice. They charge extra $5 for adding shrimps when ordering for party tray. I'm not sure I'll be back to try any other dish because I feel like the quality of the food is not there.

    Revised menu 2022.

    First thing first! When you're here, it's just simply good and AFFORDABLE Thai food that has been here forever that many of us grew up with. Despite moans and groans of inflation, they managed to keep their menu reasonably priced. Green curry is divine and a must-have for the weekend. Of course, you can't go wrong with any of their papaya salad that is wickedly spicy. Don't forget to grab their noodles -- but pad kee mow is still my all time fave! For their good food, cheap price, I'll put up with any bad customer service that many yelpers have lament about endlessly lol.

    the pad kee mao is insane and they got a small 1 dollar Thai tea best pad kee mao in North America

    * CASH ONLY * went here with my wonderful, gorgeous, drop dead, wow, model, amazing, 10/10, girlfriend aka my future wife. i was reading the previous reviews about the kid's lack of customer service and rudeness in the front desk. I'd like to add that there's clearly a language barrier. A language barrier can make it challenging to understand someone, and this difficulty can sometimes be mistaken for rudeness. we should strive to be more empathetic and more understanding. like bro, come on.. 7/10 on the pad thai! it comes out really hot and quick!! the price for the food here! personally, me and my gf had better pad thai... it could have more flavor but FOR THE PRICE??? pretty good and the portions are good as well. I believe it was $7-8 for 1 pad thai. SUPER DUPER AFFORDABLE. This place is perfect if you you are looking to grab something quick, cheap, and to-go. Food came out in less than 10 minutes. Every dish you purchase, you can add on a $1 THAI TEA or THAI TEA COFFEE. The thai tea is really really sweet. No seating inside. It's near Kung Fu Tea.

    Got their chowmein combo and spicy thai fried rice combo. Food her was very delicious! All the flavors were there and love how affordable the portions are. However, service could be better because I felt kind of pressured while choosing my order. The owner's son I believe could be a little more friendlier.

    Stuffed coconut filling balls with shredded coconut on the out side. These're 8 for $3 the best in the OC.
    Summer A.

    Base on my review is about Thai desserts. This is my first time @ Bangkok Pai. The stuffed coconut balls are the best they're my favorite texture on the outside is soft the coconut filling on the inside is not very sweet just perfect for my liking. The Thai pandan flavor layer dessert is pretty good but I can't taste any pandan flavor at all. The lady owner is very nice the son is nice too he answered every questions I had without giving me attitude. I'm looking forward to see what other desserts they have to offer on my next visit. I'm a Thai dessert lover.

Service is always excellent I have no problems I always get what I need and my orders always right. It's a no frills hole in the wall establishment. I have perfected my order and it is always the same - beef pad se ew: delicious, piping hot, garlicky flavorful, beef is a little chewy but it's fine the noodles shine with the Chinese veggies -crispy fried rice: legit in this name crispy, chewy, refreshing paired with salad and ask for some chili fish sauce drizzle it on top delicious bites! -pork jerky: chewy, salty, flavorful but I don't care for the sauce it comes in sells out often get it while you can! It's a lot of food often I have to take a little bit togo but the portion size isn't always consistent so keep that in mind if you are with a larger party. Honorable mentions: Papaya salad is good they have 2 styles get the one that has a crab o watch out though get medium or mild it can be very spicy if you can't handle it. Recently tried the boat noodles and it was interesting very large and filling lots of noodles and toppings. Loved the fried shallots taste and texture it added you smell tom yum but it doesn't taste like it at all very unique taste I don't know what to compare it to. Try it if you want to try something fun and new.

It is not greatly seasoned, it may taste kind of plain to some. I noticed some of the seafood was not cooked fully. I do mot recommend this. Pad Thai:This is a must try! The noodle is chewy and it is not the typical noodle used for Pad Thai. The dish is flavorful and the bean sprouts adds a great crunch. If you love peanuts, then there are some on side. Definitely recommend this. Papaya Salad: Absolutely love it. The salad is well flavored and marinated. Definitely recommend this if you're new to Thai food. I saw people ordering large party tray for papaya salad. Tom Yum Soup with seafood: Great soup option especially in the winter. The portion is seafood is great. The taste of sour and spicy balanced well together. The restaurant seems to be under-staffed. We waited for a while to be seated because the only person working in the front was helping in the back. And our Pad Thai was left out when we did make the order. Luckily the front staff was friendly and the food really made it up. This restaurant happens to be located in the same plaza as OC & Lau, so you might have to park a bit further. I definitely believe this restaurant should be more recognized. It got a great selection and the food tastes great. Of course, they should improve their staffing issues.
