Place a phone order for pick up, this was my first time trying Thai food and I fell in love with it! I got shrimp Pad Thai and they accommodate the spice level to spicy and it was a bit to spicy for me. Definitely coming back maybe getting it medium. read more

Chaba - Shrimp pad thai - Thai Near Me - Cypress, California

Omg. Ok, where do I start? Haha well first of all, I'm glad my friend recommended this place to me awhile back and I finally had a chance to try it! I'm a bit disappointed in myself that it has taken me this long to come here! Tsk tsk! Anyway, hubs and I had a date night and came around 630 on a Saturday night. It had two people outside and going in the guy said they need to put me on waitlist which is understandable since it's a small place and I believe family owned so only two people serving. They were very nice and took my number. It didn't take long for the wait.. maybe 10-15 mins. We ordered glass noodle with shrimp and chicken, pineapple fried rice, pad thai and panang curry. WOWWWWW! the flavors at this place is amazing!!! I think hands down best pad Thai I've had. The panang was so flavorful.... Just the right amount of spice. Just be careful if you aren't used to eating Thai food. Their spicy Is burning hot. Mild to them is a medium of most haha. But it won't matter cause it's so good!!! I'll be back and I have a few things I want to try already. My friend raves about their wings. So I'll be back for those for sure! I don't usually give 5 stars but this place deserves it! MUST TRY! Now! Don't wait long like me haha read more

This is my go-to favorite Thai place all around. I love everything I've ever ordered here. My usual order is pad thai or mild green curry. Chaba never disappoints. The prices are hard to beat (especially the lunch deals), and the service is always friendly and fast. It's a nice cozy little space with some TVs inside. Highly recommend! read more

I have literally never ordered anything here that I havent loved from the depths of my spice-loving heart. Consistently great food. If this place ever lets me down, I will take it as a sign that the world is ending. read more

My go to for Thai food. Very delicious and consistent. I hate trying a place that is good one time and not the next. Chaba is very consistent in their dishes. read more

I wanted to try another spot hoping to find a yummy spot that serves Spicy Basil Leaves with Pork ( choice of meat ) and fried egg. Not far from where I'm currently working. The place isn't to big, yet not small as well. The service was good. Person came by and checked on me like every 10 minutes or so. The taste was on point and I would come back to try their other dishes! ^-^ read more

Called in for some takeout on a Saturday evening and our order was ready in 15 minutes! We had Tom Kha, Pad Thai, and the Spicy Basil Fried Rice, with a side of Thai Tea. It was fair pricing for the amount of food (our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs though). The food came in reusable Tupperware, which is super nice for reheating later. I thought my Pad Thai was okay - it had that tangy flavor, but I would have wanted it to be more rich. Our other items were delicious though; some standouts were the soup - so hot and flavorful after taking it home - and the Thai Tea, which was sweet and a nice complement to our meal. Would definitely return to support and try some other items! read more

We went on a Tuesday evening, there were enough seats for a group of 4. The food was served hot and the food was amazing! So much flavor in each dish. We got the pad see ew, drunken noodles, tom kha soup, and panang curry. We did family style and we still had a bit left over to take home. Good service. The employees are nice and accommodating. It's inside a plaza so parking wasn't too difficult to find. But it's a small plaza so I'd recommend carpooling. read more

A nice place to have lunch with a friend on Saturday. We ordered Tom Yum Soup and Pad Thai. The soup was spicy and delicious.

service was curt, which for asian restaurant usually means the food was good. tried the crab fried rice, it's a bit on the sweet side but it tastes pretty good. not as fragrant as greatest crab fried rice out there, but it's alright. portion is okay for the price. read more

Ordered a pad see ew with shrimp to-go and I really enjoyed it. Flavors were great. It wasn't too noodle heavy; It had a nice balance. I will definitely comeback to try other menu items. read more

Chaba - Shrimp pad see ew - Thai Near Me - Cypress, California

Chaba is amazing! The food comes out in a flash, and it's so fresh and delicious. Very reasonably priced and gets pretty busy in the evening especially. We like to eat there, but we notice so many people call in ahead of time and pick up their order. Either way you'll be happy! read more

What a nice find! We were looking for a new Thai restaurant, one which we had not yet tried or had heard about. Then it pops up on Yelp! The menu had many different dishes. We opted for 2 of their daily lunch specials; Orange Chicken and Chicken Pad Thai, with a side of egg rolls. Our lunches came with a very nice salad. The dressing was most delightful. Our entrees were both delicious, but also plentiful. Our leftovers will be enjoyed tonight! The service was excellent. Absolutely no negative comments in this regard. I had read in other comments how the air conditioning had been set on Antarctic. Well kids, it still is. But considering the heat and humidity, the coolness was more pleasant than annoying. Bring your hongrey's and try this little jewel. read more

Great service and the food is always delicious! We usually order the Pad See Ew and Pad Thai, the fried rice is also excellent.

Amazing quality and portions for good prices here. My pad see ew with shrimp came out piping hot and so did the pineapple fried rice, with plenty of pineapple, onion, cashew, and raisins. The Thai coffee was also strong and sweet. The restaurant itself is clean, quiets and cozy. We got wonderful service here as well! read more

Ordered takeaway with ease , we got the usual with medium spice level: Shrimp Tom yum had very good depth of flavor, lots of shrimp and mushrooms, other places will have those woody pieces of galanggal but I did not come across too many of those in the broth. Shrimp pad Thai was a good noodle consistency and loaded with shrimp. Allergen alert : crushed peanuts are packed in a tiny cup separately. Also very flavorful, not too sweet. Mildly spiced. Green chicken curry had sliced chicken breast, bamboo shoots and basil in a slightly sweet creamy coconut base. Comes with a side of white jasmine rice because you gotta have that with rice!! They have the best chicken satay skewers: the chicken is marinated and quite moist even with grilling. Peanut sauce and sliced peppers in vinegar on the side. Several table tops , quite busy lunch service. Several patrons were speaking in Thai so that means it's also authentic, I think! Quick and friendly staff, not too loud, I appreciate that always. I feel like some places are too loud on purpose - to distract from the taste experience! read more

The food here is great. I've been here twice for their lunch specials now. The Pad Thai has more of a fish sauce smell/taste compared to other spots in my option. I prefer the pad kee mao with beef! The panang curry is delicious. Great lunch prices + portions. Will be returning. Service is fast. Good amount of parking in the plaza. read more

So happy to have this restaurant in Cypress. Their lunch specials are great and we'd love to get there more often to eat at the restaurant, instead we often order takeout. The food is very tasty and fresh. They do a great job of adjusting the spice level to your preference. On top of that, they are very friendly. read more

This place is a hole in the wall Thai/ Chinese fusion. My family LOVES the Thai food, but the Chinese dishes were just ok. The Thai curry, pad Thai, bbq skewers, tom yum soup are all delicious. I would say they are on the pricey side. read more

Nice, smaller Thai restaurant but one of the better, authentic, and more flavorful in the area. Plenty of parking in the plaza and seating is usually not a problem at lunch. Lots of lunch specials to choose grom but also a good regular menu. Unfortunately no soup noodles, they have soup only, but their stir fried basil with crispy pork belly is always the way to go. read more

Decent. Had better. Pad thai bit soggy. Lettuce waas real good. Lunch special good. Dont get the pork.

Surprised i havent written my review until now... ive been here about 10 times at this point and has always been consistent when it comes to quality freshness and flavor. Every order has been made to order which is ALWAYS a good thing. This has been the best Thai restaurant in Orange County in my opinion thus far. All the flavors taste very authentic. The two workers that have always been there always very nice and straightforward when it comes to customer service as for the ambience I love how quiet it is and relaxing. Highly recommend this spot to anyone that's looking for solid and authentic Thai food. Every time I have recommended this spot it always has been a hit for to those I recommend. Will gladly come back soon! read more

I tried Chaba again for Friday dinner. For the first time, I ordered the chicken satay for the appetizer, chicken yellow curry, and our fave beef fried rice for entrée w Thai beer, Singha. My hubby likes this beer. Well, everything was good, but the chicken satay (skewer) was so big, not completely cooked, pink color. The server didn't charge and recooked them. For me, I like the yellow curry w chicken. It has the chunky potatoes, carrots. I chose the medium spicy. Little kick...you can choose how spicy you like. The service is not too fast, not too slow. They have lots of to go orders. I want to say the restaurant is closed on Monday. This is a casual, comfy restaurant. Not too expensive, the portion is big. I take home the leftover and enjoy it one more day. Good to have a nice Thai restaurant near my home. read more

Food was good, but service is horrendous. I ate here with my family and I'll never do it again. Staff is on their phones and couldn't get any of their attention for a long time. Then when she saw me from the counter, she literally shouted from there and asked, "you need something?" LOL - they just need some training. Owner, please help them. read more

I had dinner a couple of times in the past and I decided to go there tonight. This place is always busy to take out, dine in. I tried some pad thai, fried tofu, and orange chicken before so I ordered the chicken yellow curry and chicken Satay. I noticed the yellow curry is so popular, you can choose how spicy you like. I like the chunky potatoes in the curry w white rice. So flavorful, little kick! Spicy! But the chicken Satay was not met my expectation. I like the small thin skewer, just one bite size. Not too heavy chicken skewer. I can't bite it easily. Overall, the restaurant is casual, the price is affordable, the portion is big. I can eat the leftover one more day. Haha... read more

Can't believe I've never been here and I live down the street! It's hidden in the corner of the Joe Shmoes parking lot. When we walked in the place was pretty crowded and I felt like since it's a small place they were short staffed cause there was a lot of dirty tables and we just sat at the only clean one, besides that the food was so fresh and delicious. The basil beef was so good and the egg rolls and soup was amazing. Would definitely go back. read more

Food is ok, restrooms are spotless, but the customer service SUCKS! They care more about the people that's picking up food like Uber eats. I was literally there for a min, 2 guys working on the front. None of them SMILE, and my order took for ever. Plus I found lots of rice on the floor. Dirty floors, this ambiance it's sad. No one came to ask me how is my food, or offered me anything else, besides I asked for the fish sauce chilis and gave me empty can. Jajaja this restaurant could do better for sure. read more

Spicy Green curry chicken had lots of flavor. My husband and I enjoyed the basil roasted pork belly in medium spicy. It was the perfect heat for this delicacy and the pork belly was still crunchy. Our waitress was super attentive and she came back a few times to ask us if everything was ok. We came in around 2:35pm on a Saturday so there was no one else dining at that time. We are frequent diners at Sweetee Thai and I'm telling you, the quality, quantity and taste of Chaba's food surpasses Sweetee Thai. That's just my opinion. Hubby and I will be coming here from now on. Just be careful with the spice heat if you're not used to really spicy food. We love it! read more

Got lunch chicken pad Thai. This was my 2nd time trying this restaurant. 1st time I had beef salad and it wasn't good but I wanted to give them benefit of doubt that beef salad not their Forte. Lunch box looked nice with salad and rice. Generous portion too. I was so excited to try but pad thai was so disappointing. Too mushy and chicken was so dry. Flavor was not good as well.. Wish it was good ;( Hope I can find a good thai restaurant in this area soon! read more

Quality, taste, portion size, menu choices, prices service, parking...all good! The Lunch Special is offered only Tues-Fri now. It used to include weekends. You choose from a long list of entrees & it comes with a mound of rice shaped like a heart & a crisp green salad with delicious peanut dressing. It's a cool deal & a great way to experiment. Some of the meals we've had through the years: - Yellow Curry -- A bowl abundant with a protein choice (we love the shrimp), chunks of potato, carrots & onion in a comforting broth spiked with coconut milk that can Blow Your Head Off if you choose a certain level of spice beyond mild. Medium may be too spicy for some. We can barely handle it. It's delicious & sinus issues may be eradicated. - Wonton Soup -- A lovely presentation of a savory broth brimming with tender wontons, Al dente vegetables, shrimp & chicken. - Pad Thai - the flavor of this classic dish is addicting! There's lots of table seating for a cozy spot & they do a brisk take-out business as well. Thai at its best! Update: They're closed on Monday's. An older menu photo doesn't reflect that. read more

The food was decent. I got pad Thai, it had good flavor 3.5/5. I also got fried wontons. They were stuffed with chicken 3/5. The prices were fair. The service was just okay, a bit slow. When we walked in we had to go to the counter to let them know we wanted a table, no one to greet us at the door or ask how many were dinning. They sat us in the middle and the AC was on full blast(all other tables around were for 4 people and we were 5 so this was the only choice). After a while we asked if they could turn it off. They did for a bit but then turned it back on. I understand why they turn it on since it seemed it was the only vent in the whole place so I'm sure it got hot in the hallways near the restrooms and other areas. Unfortunately we were sat right under it so it was extremely cold. We were shaking and my friend got a runny nose during the hour we were there. We ate quickly because it was too cold and asked for boxes to take the food home since we didn't want to stay any longer. I heard another table complaining to each other that it was cold, even though they had sweaters and weren't directly under it! Also, fyi they charged an automatic 18% tip to our bill. We were a party of 5. I wouldn't recommend as the food was average and the service wasn't very good, just okay. read more

This has been my family's go-to Thai spot for a while now, and we've ordered just about everything on the menu by this point. We've tried other Thai restaurants in the Cerritos, Cypress and Los Alamitos area and this one is consistently great. Phone orders are relatively easy too and the food is typically ready by the time they estimate for you. I would recommend just about anything that they have to offer, the food is really good here. read more
