    Green Curry
    Brian H.

    I tried the green curry. It was excellent. So good. It's definitely homemade. Flavor is great. Lots of chicken and veggies inside. Really nice ambiance and atmosphere inside. Service is good. Nice server. Seems like they do a lot of phone orders. I'll be back to try other curries.

    Been coming here for quite some time now, around 2 years and the food has always been really great. The papaya salad is some of the best in this area so you def need to try it. I ordered the yellow curry tonight with chicken and it was super tasty and the portion was big as well. The squid salad was very tangy and had great flavor. I love how they use a lot of sauce for their salads with intense flavor. Waitress also sanitized seating after other customers left. Will keep coming back to this place.

    Pad Thai Noodles

    Still trying to maintain their low price for lunch or dinner. Good Thai food..welcoming customer service. Just hope they hold onto the price despite everybody is going up. Best price in town!

    Thai Boat Noodle Soup
    Jessica Y.

    The restaurant is located inside a plaza so lots of parking. I tried the vegetable egg rolls, pineapple fried rice, boat noodle soup and deluxe noodle soup. I think it's so great they offer egg rolls in both vegetable and chicken. Personally I prefer vegetable egg rolls. All the dishes ordered were well made and delicious! Ordered takeout. Easy and fast service.

    Definately 2 thumbs up!

    I have been living in Arcadia for about 13 years. I have passed by millions of times, and HAVE never stopped to eat here. My family and I LOVE Thai Food (specifically Spicy Basil w/ground Chicken). We usually drive out to East LA at one of our favorite spots. I think I will save myself a trip and continue to come here. The dish I got was ABSOLUTELY delish and they prepared it EXACTLY how I asked. Mild with ground chicken. Thank you Basil Thai Cooking for making my 1st experience here pleasant. If anyone is looking for Thai food, this place is a must try and the prices are reasonable.

    MANGO STICKY RICE
    Stephanie C.

    Got the usual suspects, Pad Thai with Tofu, Pad See Ew with Beef, Chicken Larb, and mango sticky rice. This place is cheaper than other Thai restaurants in the surrounding area. You get a little less, but you can tell the food is made with LOVE! DELICIOUS! You can actually taste the authenticity, not just some fast food take out. The best dish of the four, is the mango sticky rice! Mango was ripe and sweet and the rice and sauce is STICKY and SAUCY! Just the way I like it. When I go to new Thai places, I always go by how they make the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. I need to go back and try other things!

    The Khao Soi was amazing! Perfectly seasoned, one of the better ones I've had. Immediately wished I…read morehad more after finishing it. Would definitely come back just based on that dish! In terms of service, our waitress did seem a bit checked out and like she didn't want to be there at all but it's possible she was just having a bad day. Ambiance was really chill, great spot to catch up and chat!

    The prices are reasonable and the food is decent…read more Thai Herbal Sausage: Squeezed with lime juice and paired with sliced ginger, cilantro, roasted peanuts, shredded carrots, and red cabbage, it offers a truly unique eating style and texture. Hibiscus Iced Tea: Tastes Good. Lightly sweet and subtly tart. Chicken Khao Soi: A Northern Thai-style dish featuring pickled mustard greens, bean sprouts, shallots, and crispy fried egg noodles soaked in a coconut curry broth--it tastes good. The broth performs well, though Manaao in Tustin serves a more delicious version. Yet, eating noodles with only a fork and spoon, and no chopsticks provided? Coconut Pandan Ice Cream: It is okay, about the same quality as what you would find in a supermarket. If it were not for the Dine LA deal and the desire to try somewhere new, there would be no reason to drive 50 minutes here from Irvine. Restaurants that perform worse: Ari's Thai Eatery (Azusa): Too salty and greasy. Phaket Thai (Redondo Beach): Average taste. Siam Station (Irvine): A bit salty, and the mango sticky rice is disappointing. Restaurants that do better: Manaao (Tustin) Thai Nakorn (Stanton) Fasai Thai (Garden Grove) Thai Cafe (Irvine) Nara Thai Kitchen (Irvine) 價錢不貴,口味中規中矩的泰式料理。 泰北草本鹹香腸拼盤:淋上檸檬汁,配薑片、香菜、花生米、胡蘿蔔絲、紫甘藍絲食用,蠻特別的吃法和口感。 洛神花茶:淡甜微酸還不錯喝。 泰北金湯咖哩雞肉麵:酸菜、豆芽、紅蔥頭、酥炸雞蛋麵,浸泡在椰香咖哩湯的泰北風格料理,不錯吃。湯頭表現不錯,但 Tustin 的 Manaao 比它更美味。 吃麵條卻沒給筷子,只有叉子和湯匙? 椰子班蘭冰淇淋:還行,和超市販售的差不多水準。 要不是 Dine LA 特惠想嘗試沒吃過的店,真沒必要從爾灣開車50分鐘來此。 口味比這家差的餐廳: Azusa 的 Ari's Thai Eatery(太鹹膩) Redondo Beach 的 Phaket Thai(口味一般) Irvine 的 Siam Station(有點鹹,芒果糯米不太行) 口味比這家強的餐廳: Tustin 的 Manaao Stanton 的 Thai Nakorn Garden Grove 的 Fasai Thai Irvine 的 Thai Cafe Irvine 的 Nara Thai Kitchen

Our favorites are the Pad See Ew, Thai omelet, Chinese broccoli with crispy pork, duck curry, and basil eggplant -- everything is so flavorful and delicious. The Thai iced tea is always a must too. They always makes us feel so welcome, especially with our daughter. You can really feel the warmth of a family-owned business here. Definitely one of our go-to Thai restaurants!

    stumbled upon this place after craving thai food and i still think about the khao soi here. i…read morewanted something spicy so i ordered two dishes as spicy and they do not mess around when it comes to spice here. i can usually handle spicy but this place does spicy on a whole other level ~ food: chicken larb: 10/10 citrusy and lots of meat pad thai spicy: 9/10 omg it was so spicy i had to drink water after every bite. but the flavor and texture of the noodles were great, just wish they gave more bean sprouts khao soi spicy: 10/10 one of the best khao soi's i've ever had. not as spicy as the pad thai but still pretty spicy. i love the large drumstick it came with and the broth was perfectly rich ~ service: 10/10 our server checked up on us frequently and offered napkins after seeing me dying from the spice ~ parking: street parking available

    5/5, always a hit and never misses!…read more I'm not sure what took me so long to write a review for White Springs, given I've dined here at least a dozen times over the years. Ever since it opened, White Springs has become a neighborhood staple, with many being regulars that stop by frequently. The food: My favorite menu item is the Tom Yum Noodle Soup where I substitute the vegan shrimp balls for tofu instead, at an extra mild spice level. It's my comfort food, for when days feel extra rough and I want a noodle soup that feels like a warm hug. My favorite appetizers are definitely the Chicken Satay (the texture is fantastic) and Spring Rolls. Over the years, I've also been able to try some of their curries, Roti, Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Orange Chicken, among others. But the Tom Yum Noodle Soup is definitely my go to menu item that I'll consistently crave. Everything is always cooked with such care and is super flavorful, but still feels light and not overwhelmingly greasy. Everything else: Service is kind and I've always felt more than welcomed. During their busy hours, there might be a little of a wait, so I would advise some patience as everything is made fresh. They mostly do to go orders, so do not be deceived if there's no other folks dining with you! At this point in time, they do not have indoor dining, and have a couple tables set up outside, so it might not be suitable for a huge dinner party, if you do not provide them ample notice. Parking is plentiful on the street or behind the storefront in the lot behind.

    I've been here a few times and at one time I wished they closed later…read more... I come here because it is basically Vegan/Vegetarian and it is pretty good. They don't have any seating indoors and I forgot to see but they used to have 2 small tables outside but everything is served in to go containers. The owner is nice and friendly and as mentioned it's pretty good food.... I ordered to pickup at 4:45PM but stupid me.....didn't look that they now close at 7PM!!!!!!!! They also remodeled more of the inside so basically it is just a front counter area now.... I basically got the Stir Fried Mixed Vegetables....I don't often like to eat the Vegan Beefs, Chik'n, etc....I like something a bit more natural most times.... Fresh and good I'll be back as I've been coming here just before and after the pandemic when I hangout in the area....
