Charm Siam Restaurant - the best NS3. Khao Soi with big shrimp! - Noodles Near Me - Long Beach, California

Another amazing meal had here. We walked in just after 7pm on a Saturday night which also happened to be pride weekend. The place was pretty packed but we got a table right away. There were maybe 2 or 3 open tables available which I was surprised. Within minutes of us getting seated, the place was packed. Good for them for that. The last time we were here the meal was great so we expected the same. Of course it was and we were pleased. Right when we got seated, water was brought out for us. Menu has all your amazing Thai dishes. Started off with an order of the papaya salad which comes in two different version. Thai or Laos style which we went with Thai version. That didn't take long to come out. Portion wise was decent with enough salad and a nice chunk of cabbage to go with it. Two pieces of shrimp on top of the salad. Plus a side of steam rice to go with it. Entrees, your classic chicken panang and the boat noodles. I must say that this place does make a very good version of the boat noodles. Broth is quite thick and very flavorful. Of course with all the different meats tossed in. It's one of the better places I've had boat noodles and highly recommend. Also the panang, another tasty and flavorful curry. Your classic Thai dishes which were tasty and also delicious. The food and service were great. Everyone was a doll and made us feel welcomed. The food was delicious just like the previous experience. One of the nicest Thai restaurants in town. read more

My first Uber Eats order bcz I am on a mission to try mango sticky rice dessert from as many places in LBC as possible. It's Saturday , my laundry and order delivery food day. I ordered 2 mango sticky rice, fried tofu, papaya salad Lao style, a crying tiger, a dry egg noodle with char siu pork, a chicken with sticky rice. Packaging was good but the papaya salad was dripping out liquid and it was a big job to clean it up bcz the smell was funky. I like funky but not on my furniture. THe papaya was shredded thicker and it was good but had no roasted peanuts which is one my my favorite to have in this salad. The egg noodle with char siu had good flavor but the noodle was so over cooked and mushy texture. Fried tofu was good but it's good from most places. Crying tiger beef was not grilled and didn't have the brown crust or medium rare texture. It was well done and chewy. The chicken and sticky rice was different than in Thailand and at any place I've had it before and not in a good way. I looked nothing like the photo in the menu. My rice was already hard and tough to eat while the chicken was dry and some pieces had seasoning and others didn't. It's a total miss for me. I am happy to report I am glad I got 2 mango sticky rice because it was delicious and lots of mango sliced nice and thick. THey gave a good amount of coconut sauce and it was not too sweet. It's mango season so I am indulging when it's good and fresh. I've heard good things about this restaurant but my first trial was not so great. There are so many great Thai restaurants in LBC so it is tough competition. I will give it one more try bcz I will reorder the mango sticky rice. read more

Heads up, parking can be a challenge but drive a few circles and you will get one. Our son took us here Saturday night and it was a great experience. Wait time was pretty quick and four of got seated. Did a bit of a shared mix and got to try several items. Everything was amazing. Kao soi has been my most recent craving, they have an excellent Kao Soi here. I ordered a "5" (medium) on the 1-10 scaled, waiter was kind to inform me that for many 5 is pretty hot. I backed it down to the 3/4 and YES it was HOT. Excellent for sure, but 5 may have been a bit more than needed. My wife got the crispy pork with Chinese broccoli, and it was also amazing. Rivaled my dish for favorite of the night. My sons date got an eggplant dish, it was tasty, but Im not too kean on eggplant. I think it was pad see ew my song got, a tasty wide noodle dish with shrimp. Everything was great. Great service, excellent food, friendly environment and fair parking, worth making the journey to check this spot out. read more

We got the papaya salad (Lao style) and boat noodle soup. This was one of the best boat noodles soups I've had! I love that they include tendon and a massive piece of tripe, and they're generous with the meat portion overall too. I had to give some of the meat to my boyfriend since there was a lot of it, but no complaints here. The soup was well balanced. It had a slight sweetness to it and the spice level was perfect. I got level 8 and it definitely had a kick, but it didn't overpower the dish. The papaya salad was great and reasonably priced compared to other places I've been to. The servers were very friendly. They were pretty busy but they still checked up on us and refilled our waters. Parking is tough since it's street parking only. I think this place is worth the effort though! read more

Our favorite place for a bowl of noodles. Boat noodles for him and Khao Soi for me. We've tried other dishes but always gravitate for the noodles as they're comforting. The staff is super friendly, nice and helpful. They'll bring anything you need pretty quickly. It's a whole in the wall so doesn't have lots of charm :-) but it gets the job done when craving noodles and a familiar face. Parking is a bit difficult, but worth it for a good Khao Soi. read more

Charm Siam Restaurant - Mango sticky rice - Noodles Near Me - Long Beach, California

Khao soi: thick rich curry broth, slightly sweet, tastes great, a lot of chicken, nice crispy noodles on top with flat noodles inside. Good portion. Pad see ew: bold flavor! One of, if not THE, strongest pad see ew in greater LA county. Every bite is an enjoyment. The portion is a tad smaller than most pad see ew i, uh, see, but it definitely makes up with flavors. Thai tea: not too strong, but also not light at all. Perfect sweet sip on a hot day. Service is warm and friendly, but the order comes out a bit slow so be prepared. Street parking only, and the place is not big. read more

Came here over a holiday weekend, and the food did not disappoint. We started with the steamed gyoza dumplings--you can tell they're made fresh, and they were packed with flavor. I tried the fried trout for the first time, and it was excellent. I loved that it was served butterflied, and the dipping sauce was so good I even took extra to go. We also had the khao soi with chicken--absolutely amazing. I really appreciated the balance of sweetness and heat, and the chicken had a nice char without being drowned in broth. The green curry was another standout. It was full of fresh vegetables and fragrant basil, and I especially liked that the veggies were perfectly cooked, not overdone. Definitely will be back! read more

This place will destroy you with spice in the best way possible, it hurts so good and I kept going back for more. We ordered the Lao Style Papaya salad (mild), crispy pork appetizer, chili garlic fish special (mild) and garlic shrimp dry noodle (mild). Everything was mild but let me tell you I was sweating and my nose was running but I still kept eating. It was so flavorful. I would recommend everything we ordered. The only downside is the street parking. The place was clean and had a nice vibe. The service was great. Will come back for more. Cheers! read more

I came here on a Monday evening to get dinner with some friends and had such a good time! Parking in this are can be a bit annoying but on a weekday it was not too bad. The restaurant itself is very cozy and cute, perfect for catching up. We got a couple items to share and loved them all! The Thai tea was delicious and I am glad I got the large size. The cream cheese wontons were so crispy and flavorful and I liked the sauce it came with. The pad see ew was also very delicious and the chicken paired well. The fried rice with honey chicken also had great flavor and was crispy. Definitely don't skip on the Khao Soi here since it is one the best I have tried! I wish the yellow curry was thicker and the chicken wasn't so tough, but the flavor was excellent. As for dessert, my friends enjoyed the mango sticky rice and I really liked the coconut ice cream. I will definitely be back! read more

This place was amazing and I will 100% be back. Casual ambiance. No wait for a table. Food (N7 garlic beef bowl) was fantastic. Flavours included spicy slightly sweet, sour, acidic. The waiter recommended I try it with the green lime sauce, and it was a game changer. I ordered 3* spicy out of 10 and it was definitely still spicy for me (I am W H I T E). But it was still very good. Service was great. He foresaw I needed more napkins (hey spicy ) and I never had to ask for more water. I'll be back for sure and would recommend!!! read more

Charm Siam Restaurant - N7. Garlic Beef Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Long Beach, California

I've heard so many good things about this restaurant via Yelp and Tiktok; however, I was a bit disappointed. I ordered pad see ew with chicken and mango sticky rice via Uber Eats. Unfortunately, the pad see ew was very oily and lacking flavor. -My sriracha did all the work in terms of flavor. The chicken was decent, not dry. My mango sticky rice was tasty, sweet mango with a side of the coconut milk/sauce. Overall, my dessert was good but I expected much better based on reviews. I was so excited to finally try this place, maybe I caught them on a bad day. read more

This is my go-to for Thai food! I brought my out of town family here on a Sunday night for dinner and they were busy...good for them (bad for me lol). we were a party of 7 at 5:30 so service was a tad slow but they are always super nice and patient. Parking can be rough since it's on Broadway and there isn't much parking in the neighborhood. We parked a few blocks away but it's worth the walk. The decor is fun with dangling wooden spoons painted in fun colors. It's perfect for quaint, local, and authentic Thai food. Also, do yourself a favor and get the mango sticky rice!!!!!! It's a delicious warm hug. read more

One of the best authentic Asian food places in Long Beach! Their pad see ew is divine and their wings are to die for. Not to mention how good their thai tea is, ugh yum! They were so kind and hospitable when we showed up less than an hour before closing and they still graciously sat us, allowed us to order, and served a delicious meal. Will recommend to all my friends! read more

Decided to try this place while doing a walk around the neighborhood. Had to try the Khao Soi which was highly recommended. Definitely one of the best Khao Soi's I've had. It is northern style with chicken. The soup was delicious and flavorful. There was plenty of chicken that was juicy as well. I was a little disappointed by the papaya salad (Laos style), it didn't have that nice "zing" that I usually get with papaya salad. My papaya salad also arrived with hair on the dish. I notified the waiter, who replaced it promptly and apologized. I don't know if that caused me to be biased toward the dish. Overall, its a cozy restaurant with plenty of seating and lighting. The server was attentive and I would come back to get the Khao Soi when I'm craving it. read more

Vibes were chill and the menu is hella nice tbh. The food was so fire I will not lie. The Khao Soi 10/10. Crispy pork 9/10 so fire but wouldved liked thinner slices.

This cozy Charm Siam is the perfect charming Asian fusion spot for a chill date night or mellow fam dinner. The beef noodle soup is so nourishing and authentic. Lots of unique cuts of meat so only go for it if you're down for tendons and the like. Fantastic flavors! Staff is friendly. The space is pretty bare bones but clean and comfy. Prices on the menu are for cash, so keep that in mind if you're paying with CC. read more

Love this place, first time here and the food quality is well worth the price. I got the blood soup hotpot and the were very generous on the meats, the papaya salad was also fantastic (a bit spicy even on lowest spice level for me and my gf). Service was great and will definitely be back. Taste 9/10 Value 8.5/10 read more

Charm Siam Restaurant - N2. Pad See Ew & A2. Gyoza - Noodles Near Me - Long Beach, California

A hidden gem in Long Beach! Stumbled upon this place and went twice within 1 week because it's so good. It's a small place with quick, friendly service. Their thai tea is probably the best I've had (I ordered a small the first time and a large the second time because it was so good). Their steamed gyozas are so good and have a bit of a crunchy garnish on top. Their egg rolls were also good and not too oily. I also ordered the crying tiger (marinated beef) to eat with their pad see ew. The crying tiger was good but it's basically a la carte meat so I'd recommend getting a rice or noodle dish to eat it with. Parking is street/around the neighborhood area. I'll for sure be returning to try more of their dishes. read more

This place is a local favorite! I'd seen all the traffic in the past and thought it must be good b/c of the line. And it was so good! It was very easy to get seated and the restaurant is small but intimate. I can see how it might be more difficult during prime time as it got crowded as we were seated. We had the orange chicken app, wonton soup and beef garlic noodles. The orange chicken looked really good when we saw it on other patrons plate. It was light but it lost its appeal as it lay on the plate. I've had better but it was still pretty good. The wonton soup was a larger portion and enough for two. It had pork, chicken, shrimp, carrots, cabbage, and it had great chili! The broth was amazing. I absolutely loved the beef garlic noodles! It was a hit to my tastes buds. The beef was succulent tender and superbly seasoned! I love garlic and I'm picky but this hit the spot. The noodles the doves were rice noodles and had broth and great appeal. Now the cherry on top was the green sauce!!! It's . It added another level along with the red sauce. It was superbly done overall. I'm definitely going back again and again... Probably every week now that it's on my radar! I might even go right now read more

I loveeeee this place!! It's been my go to Thai place the last year for many reasons- the taste, the walkable convenience of it being in my neighborhood, and also, it's a Bilt card partnering restaurant! Pro tip: If you eat here on the first of the month, you get 6x the points on the Bilt card. ;) Everything I've tried here is so good. I've tried multiple curries, pad see ew, kao soi, crab cheese wontons, and mango sticky rice and all the dishes are super delicious. My favorite pairing is to get the pad see ew with tofu and one of their curry dishes! read more

Went to Charm Siam to catch up with a friend I hadn't seen in 4 months (aka 27 years in emotional time), and we accidentally stayed until closing like the shameless chatty queens we are. The staff? Absolute angels. Not a single rush, side-eye, or hint of "please leave"--just kindness, refills, and calm acceptance of our reunion chaos. The food? The grilled chicken arrived like a royal feast--abundant to the point where I questioned if we accidentally ordered the "family of six" portion. Not mad. The drunken noodles? Life-changing. Ate them again the next day as leftovers and cried actual tears of joy like a dramatic J-drama protagonist in my kitchen. Now my friend--who I'm 99% sure was my lover in a past life--ordered basil chicken with the spice level: "baby spicy." She's adorable. I had a few bites with rice and immediately understood why reincarnation brought us back together for this moment. And just when we thought the night couldn't get more poetic: We shared a mango sticky rice, shaped like a heart. Perfect for the deep, possibly ancient love we no longer act on, but now channel into a deeply fulfilling friendship. It was sweet (but not too sweet), and the mango was so perfectly ripe it revived my mango obsession with the ferocity of my 2011 Tumblr phase. I did forget to order the Thai sausage to-go, and I will be thinking about that mistake until I inevitably return. read more

Friendly service and authentic Thai food in Long Beach. we loved everything we ordered. Our favorite dish was the whole fish with the sauce on the side. It was fried perfectly and the sauce added a nice touch of sweetness and sour. Basil fried rice was amazing. First thing you notice is the amount Thai basil flavor in every bite. They do a good job of balancing the sweetness with the savoryness of the basil. If you're a big fan of basil, you're going to love this. Lastly, we had to try their Khao soi. we asked for it with crispy pork. The crispy/chewy pork was cooked perfectly. It was both chewy and meaty. The curry broth was thick and souper flavorful. It coated everything inside and made everything delicious. We'll be back soon! We wish it was mango season, but we ordered a coconut ice cream with roti. It was so special. I never tried anything like this before. read more

One of my favorite Thai spots in Long Beach! I've only gotten takeout here so far, but the interior is very cute. On weekends it's usually packed, but when I went on a Tuesday it was pretty empty- so no wait. I absolutely recommend the khao soi and crab rangoons. I'd recommend paying with cash as it makes an easier transaction :) read more

My go-to thai spot! Such good pad see ew and pad thai. We always get the chicken satay. My buddy tried the shrimp basil rice with extra egg and loved it. I ordered on their website, which was fast and easy. Prices are more than reasonable for their dish sizes. I was in and out and the staff were communicative about the status of my pickup order! I love the queer/LGBTQ+ flags on the door and the choice of music is great every time I'm in. Forgot to take pics because we inhaled our meals! read more

Have had this spot bookmarked for a while and was finally in LB to try it. There's street parking near it and along the cross streets. I came with a party of 4 for lunch on a Sunday and we were seated immediately. The menu is simple and had pictures which was helpful. We got: Papaya salad e-San style: (5/5) it was refreshing and def fishy in a good way. I wish the small crab legs inside were peeled though Thai sausage: (5/5) not really a sausage person but damn this was so good and fresh. It comes with a semi sweet sauce. BBQ pork noodle: (5/5) really tasty but the soup it came with was a bit bland Khao Soi: (5/5) fire. Chicken laid on top was perfectly crispy and tender on the inside. The pickled radish and chili elevated it even more Not pictured was a Thai tea which was great and my friends Pad Thai which she said was probably the best she's had ever and portion was huge. Service was friendly and attentive, well be back! read more

Portion and service was great. Best Lao Papaya Salad I've had by far. I recommend mild if your spice tolerance isn't high. Pad Thai (pic is not the full plate, didn't took it in the beginning) was good but I'm used to long noodles, these seemed a bit shorter/broken. The crispy fried pork was more on the dry end and the cut is a bit too big for me to chew together. The green sauce was great with it. Overall, papaya salad topped it for me. read more

Everything I had from this place was delicious and competitively priced! I've been craving Thai food, and I joined a large party for dinner. Service is fast, patient, and accomodating. I've had Thai restaurants that lean a bit too salty and sugary, but everything here tasted true-to-source. The food is fragrant, fresh, spicy (VERY spicy when it needs to be, which is a good sign), and flavorful. The pineapple fried rice had a great texture (when the oil is fresh and the rice is cooked under high heat). I loved everything I ate-- my favorite is the khao soi! Please give this small business a try! I'm already thinking about making the drive to Long Beach just for this place... read more

Charm Siam Restaurant - Khao soi! - Noodles Near Me - Long Beach, California

This may be my new favorite Thai place in OC, specifically Long Beach. It's a smaller restaurant but their customer service and flavors are out of this world. I came here for dinner w a few of my girlfriends and the waiter would refill our waters without us having to flag him down. We ordered quite a lot of dishes and they all were such hits: Clear noodle salad (5/5): I've never ordered this dish before but where has it been all my life??? It's the perfect balance of savory and tangy!! Super refreshing. The lime/fish sauce is sooo good and the seafood has the perfect cook. I will definitely be trying to replicate this dish at home. Boat noodle (5/5): literally cannot go wrong this dish, so flavorful omg. Kao Soi (5/5): unpopular opinion but I was not a fan of Kao Soi UNTIL I tried it at this location... omg when I tell you the flavors transported me back to my childhood... it reminds me of my grandma's cooking. Drunken noodle (4/5): good classic noodle dish, I would love to try a different dry noodle dish when I come back another time tho. Thai basque cheesecake (100000/5): omg, it's such a unique flavor profile?? Both the Thai tea and cheesecake has such subtle flavors that it blends so well together. Had to order another one to-go for my boyfriend to try. I will DEFINITELY be coming back with my boyfriend who is Thai to see if it gets a stamp of approval by him. Definitely a new favorite! read more
