Justin S.

Food was expansive and enjoyable. My party seemed to rave about it. My Combination Pad Thai was 4/5. The service was very friendly and the space was very clean and well decorated.

Ben D.

Came by Krua Siam this past Sunday to try a new Thai spot. Right away, I really appreciated the interior- especially the modern, custom artwork featuring dishes and descriptions on the walls. As someone who enjoys good graphic design, that detail stood out and added a nice touch to the overall atmosphere. Food-wise, it was a bit of a mixed experience, so I'll break it down by dish: Fried Chicken Wings (1/5): This one was unfortunately the most underwhelming. The flavor was very mild, and I couldn't detect the toasted rice powder mentioned in the description- neither in the sauce nor as a coating on the wings. I found myself wondering how it was meant to be incorporated. The sauce itself was hard to place, maybe slightly sweet like a subtle honey flavor but overall it felt quite flat and didn't leave much of an impression. Combination Fried Rice (2.5/5): This dish was okay but had some texture issues. The rice leaned dry and a bit hard, with some clumping. There was some seasoning present, but the texture made it less enjoyable than it could have been. Panang Curry Beef (3.5/5): This ended up being the highlight of the meal. The beef was soft, tender, and really well-cooked. The flavor leaned more toward a beef stew profile than a traditional creamy Panang curry, and the color was more of a brownish-orange rather than the usual vibrant golden tone. Because of that, it didn't have the richness I typically expect, but it was still a satisfying dish. I was a bit surprised that it didn't come with rice, as that's something I usually see included-especially at $16. I had to order a side of rice which technically makes this dish $19 because who eats curry on its own? I've never seen it come without rice before. Pad Kee Mao (1/5): This was another dish that didn't quite come together for me. The noodles were quite pale and didn't have much flavor, which stood out since this dish is usually bold and well-seasoned. The texture also felt off- the noodles were clumpy and broken into shorter pieces rather than the long, separated strands you'd expect. Overall, it just didn't have the balance or depth I was hoping for. Service: On a very positive note, the service was wonderful. The server was kind, attentive and really helped make the experience better. The combination of great service and the thoughtfully designed space makes me feel like this place has a lot of potential. I really wanted to love this spot, especially with how strong the presentation and service are. With a bit more attention to flavor and consistency in the dishes, I think it could be a good spot. But as of now, if we were allowed half ratings- this would be 2.5 out of 5. I rated 3 because I liked the service lol.

Loved this place, the food exceptional, and the owners couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating. The atmosphere was nice and very clean. When you see an old Thai woman doing the cooking in the kitchen, you know you found a great Thai restaurant. We plan on going back very soon. If you haven't been here yet, you won't be disappointed!

This spot is located in a small plaza so it could be easily missed. I came for dinner and there was no wait to be seated. I ordered a few items to share: pad see ew, pork rib soup, penang beef curry (mild) with a side of rice, and mango sticky rice. I enjoyed the penang beef curry the most. It was flavorful and delicious. Pad see ew was good, could have more wok flavor. Pork rib soup was also good but a bit sour for my taste. Mango sticky rice was yummy, love the fresh mangos. Overall, the food is pretty good. Servers were friendly and quick. I enjoyed eating here and would be back to try other items on the menu.

Mango sticky rice
Vincent N.

A good hole in the wall mom and pop Thai restaurant opened up in the neighborhood! I really loved their Thai tea and Thai iced coffee! It was so smooth probably one of the best I've had! Some places make their Thai iced coffees super bitter. We ordered the Khao Soi with chicken. Definitely not the best I've had, I felt that it was missing some more coconut curry flavor and needed more spice. It was decent none the less! Also ordered the Nam (Fermented pork) crispy rice salad. This was good to eat with the curry, however I thought the rice was a little too chewy, but flavor of the pork was good! Also ended our meal with the mango sticky rice, nothing to write home about, but solid! Definitely would like to come back and try it again with different menu items. I see they have lunch specials!

Spicy eggplant with chicken
Tiffany L.

Pad See Mao Smelled strongly of basil so I had high hopes for it but it was bland, would not get it again. Spicy eggplant with chicken The sauce on this was delicious and I loved eating everything together with the rice. Highly recommend this dish. Mango sticky rice You can never go wrong with a mango sticky rice. Overall although I didn't like everything I got, I would definitely come back to try more dishes.

Take out for dinner on the weekend went very smoothly. I wanted to try a new place with my usual favorites - pad see ew, crying tiger, and crab fried rice. The prices normally would have deterred me a bit, since my shrimp pad see ew was $18 and the other 2 dishes hitting the $20 mark. But I decided to give them a try anyway since those prices are comparable to another well known Thai place in Tustin. No regrets! 3 dishes was great for 2 people with leftovers for another meal for both of us. Pad see ew was well balanced, not too sweet at all. Crab fried rice was topped very generously with crab. Crying tiger had nice and tender pieces with a dipping sauce to add more flavor if desired.

Spicy Catfish! Deep-fried and served with spicy sauce and basil!
Francis D.

During the weekend of August 29th, 2025, my girlfriend and I decided to try out this new Thai place on Harbor Blvd. It's in a very discrete plaza with plenty of parking for a Friday night and a decent amount of customers mixed with dining and take-out. A very hole-in-the-wall environment but places like this always seem to have their own unique flavor. And that's where the food comes in so let's get going! FOOD Spicy Catfish with a side of rice An a la carte deep-fried catfish with spicy sauce and basil. Yes you are able to adjust spiciness to your liking! This dish had a bit of mixed feelings for me, the taste was almost there but it tasted a bit too salty even after mixing the sauce a bit for the fish to soak in. But having rice with every bite seems to balance it out which it enjoyable! Pad See Ew with Beef I'm very very picky when it comes to Pad See Ew since it's my go-to dish ever since I was a child and my personal feedback is that everything seems to be almost there, the flat noodles were cooked well enough that it wasn't too chewy or uncooked, the beef was savory but even after all the ingredients mixed in and a bit of chili sauce, something was missing. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it but the flavor was lacking something and I can't quite pinpoint it. For me, it's probably something great to order for to-go but hey give it a shot, you might like it! OVERALL We loved the food, there was just a bit of something missing in our dish and maybe it's cause they just recently opened during the time we visited but we manage to finish all of our food so I can't say it's not all that bad, just maybe mediocre. Commends to the employees for their amazing service though! Very attentive to every customer while not overdoing it. We're going to give it a second chance and try a different dish with an appetizer so be ready for us! Also I'll try to remember to let you know about that Thai Tea lol! Big thanks to the Krua Siam Team!

The food and service was amazing. Definitely coming back. Would also recommend to friends and family.

Boat Noodle
Jaelyn S.

We got the boat noodle and pork larb to eat. Boat noodle had a rich and delicious broth with plenty of meat too! Pork larb was good, it had that amazing salty and limey flavor you look for in larb. Service was quick and our server was very friendly. She was the only one serving/running the front register. The inside was very home-like and cozy. Plenty of seating and bathroom is easy to spot.

3 mins walk from the great wolf lodge. All the way on the back of that commercial plaza. Very clean dining area and restrooms. Service was so courteous and efficient. The food was really good. I had the green sauce curry with shrimp and it was perfect! Kids had the lunch specials with pad see ew, chicken- beef and shrimp. We had a large party of 9 and everyone was so happy and satisfied. The cook is 78 years old and was non stop. Her food was so good. Don't forget to try the mango sticky rice and the Thai ice coffee. We will definitely come even if we're not staying at the lodge.

Panang curry with beef and chinese broccs with crispy pork belly
Aurelia T.

I'm so so happy that I found this hole-in-the-wall. This might be the best Thai food place I've ever had. - service: 1000/10. People are so warm and welcoming. They even recognized our Lisa shirts. (Iykyk) - food: omg the curry slaps so hard. It has so much depth and levels that obviously takes long and definitely not those curry cube flavors. Highly recommend getting curries if you want to know how true curry tastes like. The chinese broccs and crispy pork is simple, yet deadly. Hot wok with garlics, greens and CRISPY PORK and it's done PERFECTLY. I savoured the whole plate by myself All portions are hugeeeeee. And even though the rice is not included, the dishes are so good that we need more rice than we thought. So i'm not complaining at all. I will definitely come back and bring families to enjoy this place and i hope they would stay around :)

Chicken pad Thai
Farah K.

It's a very cute little place in a busy shopping center with several food choices all around, I happened upon this place while waiting for traffic to die down. Service was friendly and attentive, even with 2 little kids en tow. They have several classic food choices. We ordered pad Thai, eggrolls and a yellow curry.... Let's start with the eggrolls- not my favorite. They looked great but the taste reminded me of the frozen ones I buy from Costco sometimes- kinda mushy in the middle but the wrapper was crunchy. Even my kids- who are eggroll connoisseurs- were not very happy with them. Would not order again. Pad thai was decent- not bad, but not great. You get the flavor and it appeases the senses but doesn't wow them. The curry was most disappointing- tasted like the packet one I hurriedly make at home sometimes and the consistency was not smooth, somewhat grainy. The accompanying rice was either dry or undercooked... I didn't even bother packing the leftovers of it- not worth the hassle. Overall, great for a quick fix but I doubt I'll be back... but some of the neighboring shops look interesting.

Love soup! If you do too, this is the place for you!…read more Friend and I came Sunday night. It was busy. Busier than I expected and service was still great. It's quite lively. The ladies working here are kind and on top of things. My friend and I got the army stew to split. It was a TON of food. It was quite deceptive when it came out. When your order is brought out, they place a table top burner in your table first. Then the banchans come out. Banchans: - cucumbers: crisp and refreshing, mild spice - radish: very crunchy - kimchi: very tasty here - fish cakes: my fav, they are a bit sweeter here Then the main cauldron of soup is brought out. What's in it: - hot dogs/sausage: cut up and I think it's kielbasa - spam - meat chunks - oval rice cakes - tofu - a square of dried ramen noodles with American cheese - some veg like onion, green onion - tasty broth!! - bowl of rice too Let this cauldron boil up over the table top burner then dig in! This hit all the right spots, especially as the temperature is starting to cool down. There was so much food. My friend and I ate to our fill and had enough to each bring home leftovers.

The servers are aunties that won't check on you after every bite but will come over the second you raise your hand. I took my mom for lunch and we dug in a little too quick - photos were snapped after we've made a small dent on the food. We got the Seolleongtang and soondae platter which was plenty to share between two people. We ended up taking half of the soondae platter home and enjoying it for breakfast the day after. For those not familiar with Seolleongtang, the soup comes out very basic. You're given a bucket of scallions, a little pot of salt, and shaker of ground pepper to season the broth as you please. I recommend adding a few spoonfuls of the radish kimchi sauce. Speaking of the banchan, Jong Ro prepares some of the freshest and most flavorful banchans on the street. I wish they offered a menu option that was just a bowl of rice and bottomless banchan. The soondae was perfectly springy, paired with a salted shrimp sauce and flavored salt dip. The platter also came with boiled (or steamed?) pork belly, pig ear, and other pork innards that were nicely cooked. I love restaurants like this because they are simply good at what they do. Nothing is over-the-top. There is always a constant stream of customers. The times I've gone have been during your typical slow hours and the place was always 60% full. I imagine the house is full during dinner time or on weekends and rightfully so. Definitely stop by if you're looking for a heartwarming and belly filling comfort meal.

I'd recommend always checking their Yelp page ahead of time to join the waitlist before arriving just in case. Sometimes, they have people on the Yelp waitlist but they don't have staff actively checking it, so it's best to sign up and then arrive at the restaurant to let them know you're there.

Instead we got the beef stew noodle soup for my son which smelled really flavorful and he said was good. I got some sort of Taiwanese noodle soup that was on the front page of the menu that looked good and tasted great as well. It came with a bunch of assorted proteins such as hard boiled egg, tendon, tripe, stewed meats. It was a spicy noodle dish which I loved. I will most likely get it again next time. Their chili oil sate is actually really spicy and has that kick so I appreciated that since most places are not spicy. The portions were also pretty big; each order was good enough for 2 bowls. We enjoyed our noodle soups but still want to go back what we anticipated.

The menu was QR code only, I know this is a downside for some, not so much for me, but worth mentioning. There are 2 restrooms, single user, roomy and very ADA-accessible, the illuminated mirror is a very nice touch. And the food? First point is the price. You cannot beat this price, I believe.

I did opt for mild heat level, since I like enjoying my food and not panting like I'm in Hell in this heatwave, and the broth was very good. A nitpick I often have with hot pot is that there is far too much cabbage, but in this case I felt like it was pretty balanced. All in all, I am excited to come by and give it another try. I have very high hopes for this spot.
