My family and I have been coming to this restaurant when they opened! Excellent service, delicious and authentic food, and it always warms my heart how the staff are so excited to see my daughter! We regularly order the following and I would highly recommend these items: Fried Tofu Appetizer Pad See Ew Pad Thai Pad Whoon Sen Papaya Salad (lao style) We're still exploring items on the menu but sometimes it's hard since these staples are so so good. Wishing Krua Siam nothing but the best! Thank you! read more

We came in 20 minutes prior to closing & staff did not hesitate to sit us down with our 3 year old. Food was delicious. Staff was above & beyond. We didn't feel like a nuisance being the last customers dining. Perfect dinner choice after a long day of travel! We had papaya salad, chicken satay & pad see ew. Everything was amazing. read more

Krua Siam is a hole-in-the wall authentic Thai restaurant located in a nice plaza on Harbor. To be completely honest, I had my skepticisms before I came here. Not a lot of reviews, kind of in the middle of nowhere, and when I entered, the restaurant wasn't very full. But all of those were quickly put to rest when the food came out. I got a chance to try the pad thai lunch special (comes with steamed rice, fried wonton, and a salad for $12.99) and the panang beef curry. Hands down some of the best Thai food I've ever had. The pad thai was sweet, chewy, and perfectly complimented by the chicken. It was the exact taste I was looking for when ordering a pad thai. From the first bite to the last, it was great and enjoyable. The panang beef curry has to be some of the best curry... or even food that I've ever had. The perfect amount of spice (medium), with a bunch of meat and veggies. It went so well with rice, but shined bright on its own as well. The spice of the curry is a great additive to the tender, juicy beef. It is spot on when it comes to saltiness, and isn't overly thick or overly thin. It is exactly what is promised: a beautiful combination of flavors and textures that comes together in your mouth to produce a feeling that you will only get by trying it yourself. Overall, this place gets a 9.5/10. The service was friendly and quick, and the interior of the restaurant is clean and well-maintained. I don't know why it isn't always packed to the brim, but I'm definitely not complaining. Less wait time for me!!! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I first tried this restaurant about a week and a half ago when I was visiting garden groove. I ordered the red curry and the curry is so flavorful! I also had the opportunity to try the other dishes as like the pad thai and pad kra pao. Those dishes were so delicious! Service was amazing and I love the vibe of the restaurant! I will definitely visit here again when I come back to garden groove. This is my new favorite spot! read more

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. read more

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 :) read more

We found Krua Siam after spending time at Nickel Nickel Arcade and looking for something good nearby. It is tucked into a small shopping center and easy to miss, but it ended up being a great find. The food here is outstanding and easily some of the best Thai food I have had. Everything tasted fresh and authentic with that unmistakable wok cooked umami flavor. My wife and I both ordered the chicken pad Thai and it was perfectly balanced, flavorful, and cooked just right. We also shared the chicken skewers, which were tender, well seasoned, and paired beautifully with the peanut sauce. We came in as a large group of twelve with seven kids and five adults, and the owners were incredibly kind and accommodating, even with the chaos of a big family group. Service felt warm and genuine and everyone at the table enjoyed their meal. The inside of the restaurant was extremely clean, comfortable, cozy, and well maintained with a great overall vibe. You can tell the owner brings years of experience to the kitchen, having been in the restaurant industry for over twenty years and previously owning well known Thai restaurants in the area. Overall, Krua Siam is a fantastic family owned spot that delivers high quality Thai food and excellent hospitality. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it. read more

My friend and I could not stop raving about the food even hours after we got home- that's how you know it was good. I'm surprised they don't have more reviews! Please stop by and show this restaurant some love. Cute interior and our server was sweet and so helpful. It started filling up around 7pm on a weekend night. We ordered: Thai boat noodle (good, not great) 5/10 Pad Kee Mao - I noticed it didn't have the traditional red bell pepper. Though, it was still really good. 9/10 Spicy catfish - 10/10 Thai basil fried rice - 8.5/10 They also have a separate menu for the street food that's plated and can be ordered for take out. Our server mentioned how the food is super authentic and tastes like how it would in Thailand. I totally agree read more

Solid Thai food with a whole lot of options available!! We ordered the fried chicken wing appetizer - the sauce was delicious although I wish the fish sauce flavor was a bit stronger.

Krua Siam is hands down one of the rare authentic Thai restaurants you'll find in Orange County. We loved everything we tried and we will come back to try the rest of the menu. The braised pork leg was incredibly tender, and the pork spare rib soup had a fantastic kick even at a mild spice level. The crying tiger was juicy and tender, and the sticky rice with mango was the perfect sweet finish. On top of the amazing food, the staff were all very friendly. I definitely recommend. read more

Good Thai food hot and fresh made to order. The seafood tum yum noodles soup is good but a little too sour for my taste buds. The egg rolls are hot and fresh with excellent condiments for more flavor packed punch. The fried Chicken wings my Favorite are not available today on Friday afternoon. Very disappointing and unexpected. The jasmine tea made with tap water was disappointing. Clean restroom and restaurant with great staff but no rice with your dishes is a little disappointing since most places would normally give you free rice but I guess inflation is real now. Come try this new Thailand Siam restaurant in Anaheim. read more

We were staying next-door at the great Wolf Lodge and craving Thai food. We walked over to this place which we were welcomed warmly by the family owners. The food was delicious and very fresh. I had glass noodle soup and larb. Both gluten friendly. The only feedback I have is that it was lacking spice. Their scale is on 0 to 5, so I ordered a 2 thinking that would be medium, but it was absent from spice all together. Next time I would order a 5, or maybe their scale needs to be increased to 10. The woman working was very honest. She came up to me as I was leaving to tell me that she accidentally double charged me for 2 iced teas and gave me cash back. I appreciate the honesty would definitely come back next time we are in town. read more

I was so excited to see a new Thai restaurant near our home. This place is goooooood!! The flavors were amazing! Dishes we ordered: -panang curry beef 5/5* definitely recommend!! The beef was so tender, broth was full of flavors. You can taste the Thai lime leaves. -crying tiger 5/5* highly recommend! Beef was so tender and the dipping sauce was pretty good. -som tum Thai 5/5* the citrus and sourness to this dish was my absolute favorite. It wasn't too salty either so I can eat more of it hehe -pad thai 4/5* I like that it had a little bit of an al dente to it, but there were lots of broken pieces of the noodle. The flavor was really good. Not overly sweet. -nam and crispy rice salad 4/5* I usually like to go to different Thai restaurants to try this dish. This dish was made very unique and flavorful! The rice was really crispy and the fermented pork had just enough sourness to it. Only complaint I had was it was a bit too salty for our family. Overall I highly recommend this place!! I would definitely order all the dishes we tried today. This will be one of our new go to spots! Can't wait to try other items on their menu! read more

Tried this spot out during lunch and really enjoyed it!! It's tucked in this huge plaza but was quite busy even on a random weekday. I had the $13 lunch special which is actually a lot more food than it sounds like and everything came out fast but fresh! I love pad thai and the one here had that perfect tangy flavor and not overcooked noodles. If in the area, I'd likely come back for lunch again! read more

A true hidden gem! Krua Siam might be low profile, but the food is absolutely authentic--tastes just like Thailand. As a Thai restaurant owner myself, I'm very picky about Thai food, but I still come here to eat because it's that good. Every dish is cooked with heart and passion, and you can truly feel it. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner--she's so friendly, humble, and down-to-earth. I'll definitely be coming back and hope everyone will come out to support this amazing local spot. It deserves all the love! The place is also super clean. read more

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. read more

By the details of the decorations you will notice how BALANCED the owner has designed the restaurant and the foods. The restaurant was well designed with good and simple furnitures let you know it's not a street style restaurant nor a too fancy one which makes you feel a little bit pressure when enjoying the food. I believe the food was well balanced redesigned,every flavor combined together without conflicting each other compared to a lots of Thai restaurant who use one or two of the ingredients too much to make it too Thai style. Definitely will back to try the other dishes and share the pics then. read more

Clean nice inside, simple decor, warm lighting. Friendly service. The prik king with beef was so good, mild was spicy, very flavorful. White rice was fragrant good texture, and not wet/clumpy. Pad woon Sen was yummy too, you can taste the wok hei smokiness from the hot wok, noodles perfectly seasoned and cooked, lots of veggies and protein in the dishes. You can hear the sizzling sound of the hot wok cooking in the kitchen. Food came out hot and fresh! Good portion. No wait on a Sunday night. Good pricing. Definitely recommend and would come back to try more dishes. read more

I don't usually leave reviews but I'm so pleased with my experience that I just had to. The staff is so welcoming and accommodating! This hole-in-the-wall restaurant is nestled in a cute plaza. Love the atmosphere! It's modern, clean, and it's a plus that I had no difficulties with finding a parking spot. Now for the food. Ive tried their beef panang, chicken satay, chicken pad see ew, spicy catfish, and all have been super delicious. The meat was juicy + tender and the seasoning is perfect. I've been to a lot of Thai restaurants and this place is easily in my top 3! Out of everything I loved, my favorite is the fact that the staff gave service with smiles. IMO, it's rare these days lol. I don't mind the occasional rude servers (I get it, their work isn't easy!!). In fact, I don't really even expect stellar service if I know the food is great. Luckily, this restaurant has amazing food AND amazing service! read more

After discovering this Thai place we have been popping by more quite often. So far it hasn't been too packed to where we had to wait but it does pick up really quick. Maybe we just get lucky.

Honest review from an honest person. I have literally ordered from almost every Thai restaurant in Orange County. I ordered take away today, and the restaurant ambiance is very nice. Has a good cozy feel to it. The waitress was very nice. However, the food is average at best. I ordered the crab fried rice, and the seafood Tom yum. Both portions were very large. Tom yum seafood 4/10 Crab fried rice 6/10 I am very disappointed in the tom yum. Apart from portion size, there is nothing great about it. The soup is bland, with small hints of sourness. Tom yum should be sour to the point where, every sip kind of makes you salivate. This soup is just, bland. Nothing stand out The crab fried rice was better than the tom yum, but again, nothing great about it. The crab flavor doesn't stand out, and the overall taste is just "mid" I paid $49 dollars for both meals, and honestly, I'm very disappointed. It's probably better tasting for people who aren't very accustomed to Thai food, and i know i have a high standard of Thai food, but for the amount of of money I'm being charged, i expect better. I will not be returning to this place. read more
