    Tom yum noodles hot pot
    Lalita G.

    This place is a gem! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked and most important to me is authenticity. I'm Thai so my expectations are high when it comes to Thai food and this place did not disappoint. Great portions and everything came out fast. So many varieties- I don't see this many options on the menu anywhere else. Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe was welcoming. Definitely one of the better Thai spots I've tried--I'll be back!

    Creme Brulee French Toast
    Harsimran s.

    Finally was able to stop by to try breakfast here with a friend. It was empty on a Wednesday morning and much easier than trying to get a seat on the weekend. Cute spot- decor was a little busy. Service was OK. When we asked for recommendations, all she said was everything is great and look at the pictures. Also disappointed that they didn't have lattes and only black coffee. Food was great. We shared a Thai basil omelette and a sweet option, which was the French toast crème brûlée. I would absolutely recommend the Thai basil omelette. It's something I can literally eat every single day. It felt so flavorful and filling. The French toast was a little overwhelming and had too much sauce. Overall was excellent. I would probably come back for more of the Thai food than the breakfast food.

    Thai Holy Chili Bomb Basil Omelette

    Came here to have lunch with friends. Decided this location because it seems cute and the menu selections seems unique and avante guard with some Thai typical dishes. The staff is friendly and food comes out quick. We ordered their cocktails which are really yummy . The songkrang and the cucumber cocktail. For appetizers we shared the fried crab rolls and the shrimp donuts. Both are crisp, flavorful and fun to eat! For our mains we ordered the Thai bomb omelette, the fried fish egg Benedict and the northern Thai sausage plate with sticky rice. Food came out well decorated for the eyes and smells devine. I had a coconut espresso to go and it really hit the spot. I will come back to try other dishes such a their Khow soi noodles.

    Another Crab Fried Rice

    Welcome to Irvine! This place is the whole package. Easy parking, super friendly staff, and bright, casual space. The food...well, come hungry and try as many things as you can. I came here a couple times and these are the only pics I could get because we dove right in! So far my favorite is the crab fried rice. The flavor combination just hits you. I have no idea what the green sauce was but it was a perfect condiment for this dish. I kind of love fried chicken and have been told that I eat too much of it. This fried chicken was seasoned to perfection, the batter was not too thick, & it was perfectly crispy. I am already looking forward to coming back to try brunch!

    Smoked Salmon Benedict
    Ariana L.

    I came here for brunch on Easter Sunday. We waited less than 15mins to get seated even though it seemed busy. We all ordered brunch foods, even though the menu also has a good variety of Thai dishes as well. We also got an order of the soufflé pancakes to share, which was the highlight of the meal for me. The pancakes were light and fluffy, and were topped with whipped cream and a delicious strawberry sauce. I ordered the smoked salmon benedict for my main, which came with potatoes and salad. The flavors were good and I liked the variety of ingredients used in the dishes! Everyone else at my table also said they enjoyed their meal. It was a bit hard to get attention from the waiters, as it seems they are a bit understaffed and it was quite busy. Our table was missing condiments, and we couldn't get the waiters attention to bring us some, so we ended up just borrowing them from an empty table. Not ideal, but we didn't want to bother them too much. I enjoyed the food here a lot, so hopefully I'll have the chance to come back and try some different dishes in the future!

    I wanted to try something new for lunch and decided to give this restaurant a try as it has been on my bucket list for some time. This is a very unique Thai fusion restaurant and a few friends have recommended going there. I placed an online order and ordered the holy chili bomb basil omelette, which is essentially pad ka prao filling in the omelette. I am not big on omelettes, but I do love pad ka prao. The pad ka prao was a bit on the sweeter side. I like my pad ka prao more savory than sweet, but the flavor was good. I like that it is paired with some roasted potatoes. I am not too fond of the bread, which is like a French toast texture minus the sweet maple syrup and cinnamon. I wish I was served with a Thai chili fish sauce for the omelette. My order was ready within the time it promised me. It was packed with utensils and napkins when I went to pick it up. From what I saw while waiting, the restaurant is small but cute. I appreciate the Thai-inspired artwork on the walls.

    Loved this place! The menu felt like it was the Cheesecake Factory menu haha there's just sooo many options. Luckily we did our research and knew what we wanted beforehand. We made a reservation for 10 am on a Saturday morning and it wasn't packed yet but by the time we left all of the tables were full. We literally ordered everything off the menu and everything was so good. Definitely shareable plates. My favorites were probably the soufflé pancakes and the holy bomb chili omelette. Looking forward to coming back!

    I met a friend here for a lunch meeting, and while waiting for her, I decided to order the crab fried rice. The portion was generous and came with a green sauce that paired perfectly with the rice. The lump crab meat was sweet, fresh, and absolutely delicious. It's easily enough for 2-3 servings, and I highly recommend this dish. I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu.

    Khao Soi Soft Shell Crab
    Karen N.

    i came here for a sunday brunch with my cousin, and everything we got here was so good!!! the portion sizes were huge and great for sharing, so definitely come hungry! - Holy Chili Bomb Basil Omelette: i can't believe i've never come across this creation anywhere else because it is literally so good. great flavor from the beef & veggie combo that paired well with the soft egg omelette! i thought the name was cute and funny too hehe - Make it Rice / Jumbo Crab Meat: it is literally in the name, but the crab meat pieces were huge and yummy! this rice was also flavored really well, and the sauce on the side has a great tanginess to balance the richness of the fried rice. - Khao Soi Soft Shell Crab: really good and standard khao soi! the pickled veggies are a great contrast to the richness of the soup. the crab was fried perfectly crispy! - Lychee Pleasesy: a yummy lychee tea, no issues with it! overall, this was a really good thai brunch spot! it was pretty crowded when i came, and wait was still about 15-20 mins for my party of 2, so be prepared to wait! i think it was definitely worth it though, and i would for sure come back to try the other dishes!

    Creme brulee french toast
    Alex N.

    This place definitely feels like one of the more pricier Thai options in the area, but it's a pretty solid choice in quality. The kitchen seems small and they didn't have a lot of staff on hand when we went, so expect possible slower service than other places. Everyone was friendly though. We went for brunch and ordered: - pandan sweet tea: the pandan was way too subtle and light... Wouldn't recommend this - creme brulee french toast: this was okay. The creme brulee flavor didn't really mesh well with the toast for us. Maybe it would have tasted better if the edges of the toast were crispy - crispy belly & belly rice: this was pretty good but a bit expensive - soft shell crab: the texture of the crab was perfectly crunchy. It comes with a lot of sauce which was a bit on the salty side though The look of the restaurant is very bright and fun with all the flower decorations, but they were playing club music in the background which is quite a choice with the two conflicting vibes... Parking was also pretty easy when we went.

    Khoa Soi Crispy Chicken
    Stephanie C.

    Ok this is one solid restaurant. The service, food, atmosphere, and prices were so right. My friend and I dined on a weekday around noon and it wasn't very busy. The waiter was friendly and professional, patiently answering questions we had. When our 4 dishes came out we were so impressed with the portion sizes, presentation, and great flavors. I loved that they weren't too conservative in making their food a little spicier. The sweet, savory, and spicy kick of the apple salad made it so unique and refreshing easily making this my favorite dish. It also came with a gigantic piece of fish. They are not skimping on the fish at all! Only one thing that was a minor detractor from the experience and it was the lack of high chairs. I don't think I've ever gone to a restaurant that doesn't have high chairs.

    Menu

    5* Food 5* Service 5* Ambiance In a prominently developed housing area, this hidden gem opened in October and has made quite a splash. Clean and colorfully decorated with flowers and artwork, this busy eatery is the highlight of the neighborhood. The menu offers many classic dishes (some with a new and flavorful twist) and a few original chef specialties that are vibrant and explosive. As we looked around other tables, the portions for brunch were generous and beautifully presented. Wine, beer and cocktails, along with traditional drinks such as matcha, Thai iced tea, fresh orange juice, and so much more, are on the menu. We ordered the crying tiger and tom yum noodle soup. The crying tiger does not come with rice and I found it more enjoyable once we had rice added to our order. The portion of this particular dish is small, but the quality of the beef is excellent and the flavors of the dressings elevate the dish further. The tom yum noodle soup has fish balls, shrimp, pork and sausage. The flavors are explosive and absolutely delicious. The owner of the restaurant was also present which made our visit even more enjoyable. Great little restaurant packed with flavor.

    Crispy Belly & Belly Rice
    Hannah N.

    First time here and it was a mixed experience. The Make It Rice with Jumbo Crab Meat had good flavor, but the crab was minimal and mostly on top. The Crispy Belly wasn't very crispy and was more chewy than expected. The soufflé pancake was the highlight -- fresh, fluffy, and worth the wait, and we appreciated the heads-up about the busy Sunday brunch. The ambiance is beautiful with a flower wall and spring-inspired decor. I'd come back to try other dishes since there are plenty of options on the menu.

I really like the Cajun fries and their baked beans. The baked beans have a lot of BBQ flavor, they do not taste like the plain out of a can type beans. The food last me several days to eat it all making it a very affordable per-meal value. I've also tried their chicken breast plate ups with mashed potatoes and other sides and everything is good and well-made. I like having these kinds of businesses in and around Irvine. Something unique and different than the ubiquitous boba and other Asian style food spots. I recommend people give this location a try as they have a ton of options on their menu. If you dine in person they give you a complimentary corn bread with your plate up which is a nice personal touch! They should also include this one corn bread with their to go orders. I will continue coming back as long as they have the chicken tenders bucket deal!

Best decision of my late night misadventures in a long time! It was very filling (you could probably order one item and split it or have plenty of food for leftovers the next day), it's not inexpensive but it's great value (but then again $20 for a meal out is kind of going rate standard so maybe it is inexpensive or comparable to most anything else you could choose?), and it's great quality. The soup is a combo meal that comes with rice, glass noodles, fish cakes in sauce, and kimchi. You can also modify the spice level to make it more mild or spicy depending on your preference. I don't know why I am so obsessed with the soup but I'm going to think about it for a while because I was 100% lost in the sauce while eating it - after you get halfway you can put the rice, part of the kimchi, and (maybe) the fish cakes in the soup so it gets closer to porridge and break up some of the blood sausage to mix it throughout. Service is friendly and can recommend different things to eat. I got my order as takeout but the dining atmosphere is really good for how close each table is to one another. Everyone still has enough space to be on their own but because you're closer together it kind of feels communal.
