    We were so hyped to come here. My family loves Thai food so we always look forward to good Thai spots and this was on the list. We came on a Wed evening right before the evening rush. There was ample parking. The staff seated us right away and we're very friendly! The place is cute! We tried their Thai tea flight. Overall, it was just ok. There were 2 milky ones and 2 fruity ones. The milky ones were the only ones we liked. We ordered a pork belly with Chinese broccoli, pad see ew, crab fried rice and a fried fish dish. The pork belly in the dish was not crispy. The pad see ew wasn't very flavorful. The crab fried rice came late and wasn't very crabby. The best thing we had was the fried fish with lemon grass. Im glad we finally gave it a try but will definitely be trying other Thai spots in the area.

    Pad See Ew
    Amy P.

    I hadn't visited this Thai spot since the new Manon ownership took over and it's noticeably busier now - probably due to a stronger social media presence? I ordered takeout, so I can't comment on the dine-in experience. I got a few orders of pad see ew and the portion sizes were solid. The noodles were slightly overcooked and broke apart a bit easily, but the flavor leaned pleasantly sweet. I didn't mind it, especially after adding some sambal chili and jalapeños for a little extra kick. Will definitely be back to try other dishes.

    Such a great spot & service is wonderful. We ordered take out the first time we discovered this place & everything was packaged well & it was still piping hot by the time we got back to our home. We stopped in yesterday to dine in & service was great! Food was amazing per usual, but my one request is to PLEASE bring back the Lui Suan! Please! I was so so sad when I looked at the menu & saw I was not able to order fresh spring rolls! The pad kee Mao was delish as well, hubby ordered it spicy & it had a nice kick!

    Hm I have mixed feelings about this place now. I came back a second time but with my pops after telling him how tasty the food was. We both enjoyed the food but the service was lacking. I get that they are busy but that's no excuse for subpar service. I came around 520 to get a table for 2. I walked in with one small table left and was sat soon and water after. When I asked for 2 more minutes before I order, I wasn't helped until another 10 minutes. My dad came right when I was ordering drinks and they were out of any creamy based teas even though they weren't closed until another 3+ hours. I ended up getting a coke and the waiter didn't even bother asking what my dad wanted to drink so I called her back immediately. Im sorry, but im not waiting another 10 minutes just to order again. Although we ordered 2 coke drinks, they brought out only one coke, so we gave a reminder. While we waited, we asked to be moved to a bigger table because of the amount of food we ordered and eventually we were moved. The tom yum soup came out and even though I asked for seafood, they gave us shrimp only so we returned it. When the soup returned, we asked twice for our rice bowl and it took a total of 20 minutes for a bowl of rice. Around 630 our final items came out which was the grilled squid and morning glory. 2 male workers came by and apologized for the delay and treated us to desserts, which was appreciated. However, after that we also had a laos style papaya salad takeout for my dad's friend. I opened it to check it and saw that they gave one bit of salty crab meanwhile the table next to us who ordered the same salad got many pieces from what I saw. That's just annoying given the salad was over $15. They probably were running out of the crab and had one claw piece left and added it to the salad and called it a day or did it for whatever reason. Either way, it reflects poorly on the business. If it wasn't for my dad being apprehensive, I wouldnt have mind saying something. I was going to take a picture of that sad salad but that would have been embarrassing for the restaurant. I expected more consistency with this place. 2.5 stars and that's being nice.

    Khao Soi
    Serina L.

    Got the Khao Soi and Broccoli stir fried to share!! I looooove khao soi and this one definitely didn't disappoint. The broth was a perfect thickness-- good curry sauce to soup ratio :) There was also a decent amount of chicken, cooked perfectly might I add. The Broccoli stir fried comes with rice and choice of protein as well, but we opted out of the protein option. Honestly, it was good but I wouldn't order again simply because I feel like I can make it at home but again, it was GOOD! Staff was super kind and attentive but not overbearing!! They were also doing a little Easter game where you can pick an Easter egg for prizes, we got chips!!! I really like the interior too! Nice lighting and light wood decor :)

    Morning glory with pork
    Thao T.

    Tammy was very sweet! Great service from everyone. This tom yum soup was the best I've ever had, so much depth, flavor and they did NOT skimp on the seafood at all (add on), with the fish, mussels, shrimp etc. I'll be craving this for sure. The crab fried rice was amazing with the sauce, the morning glory with crispy pork, curry was really good, and the taro iced tea was very refreshing! We will definitely be back.

    Ordered some pad see ew with pork to-go, and the flavor was consistent throughout. I thought it was a little on the sweeter side but was still quite enjoyable. I do enjoy a good pad see ew and would come back to get this again and try some of their other dishes as well. Parking was easy as it's in a shopping center with other businesses/restaurants. Good service and order was ready on time.

    Roti Curry
    Joseph C.

    I LOVE this place down. If cozy, beautiful Thai restaurants are your thing, then Manon needs to be on your radar. The moment you walk in, the space just feels warm and inviting, like you've stepped into someone's stylish, homey kitchen where you know the food is about to be amazing. The lighting is soft, the interior is stunning, and the whole place has this relaxed, welcoming energy that makes you want to sit, eat, and catch up with friends for hours. Staff was friendly and welcoming as well. Roti Curry (5/5) If you come here and skip this, you're doing yourself a disservice. The flatbread is perfectly crispy and golden, and it comes with this rich curry sauce that you dip it into. That first bite? Absolutely ridiculous. The roti soaks up the curry and suddenly you're wondering why every appetizer doesn't come with a dipping sauce this good. It was easily one of the most memorable bites of the night. I just wish there was a larger portion size of the Roti! Crab Fried Rice (4.5/5) Sometimes simple dishes really do shine the brightest. The rice was perfectly cooked with generous pieces of crab mixed throughout. Nothing overly complicated here, just clean, balanced flavors that let the crab do its thing. Simple. Flavorful. Absolutely delicious. Kra Paw (5/5) Another standout. This stir-fried dish with pork, garlic, chili, onion, and basil came out incredibly fragrant & aromatic. You could smell the basil and garlic immediately. The chili brings a nice kick, while the basil gives the dish that signature Thai herbal depth that ties everything together. Every bite felt bold, savory, and super satisfying. Larb Ped (3.5/5) Definitely leans brighter and more refreshing compared to the other dishes. The duck is tossed with red onion, scallions, lime juice, chili, and roasted rice powder. That roasted rice powder adds this slightly nutty, toasty flavor and a bit of texture, while the lime gives it a tangy citrus punch. It's zesty, herb-forward, and has a light heat that slowly builds. If it was just slightly warmer, I would have given it a higher rating but overall, still a good dish to try. Overall, the food, ambiance, and vibe at Manon made this such a great dining experience. Between the cozy atmosphere and the bold, aromatic flavors coming out of the kitchen, it's the kind of spot you leave already thinking about what you want to order next time.

    Grilled squid
    Wen Wen C.

    After hearing some great reviews about this new Thai spot in Fullerton, a friend and I decided to stop by for a Sunday lunch. We were looking for something authentic but unique, and Manon definitely delivered on both the food and the overall experience. One of the first things we noticed was how well the restaurant is run. Even for a busy Sunday, the service was friendly, fast, and very attentive. We never had to hunt anyone down for refills or assistance, and our dishes arrived surprisingly quickly without feeling rushed. We ordered three items to share, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out: Pork Jaw: This was the absolute highlight. The meat was incredibly juicy and tender, carrying an authentic flavor enhanced by a slight hint of sea salt. It came with a specialized house-made sauce that was the perfect pairing. Grilled Squid: Cooked to perfection. It also came with its own dedicated special sauce that added a great kick to the fresh seafood. Shrimp Pad See Ew: Savory, flavorful, and delicious. The balance of seasoning was spot on. The drink menu features some creative "Thai Tea Fusion" options I hadn't seen before. We tried the Strawberry Thai Tea and the Taro Thai Tea. We were initially worried they might be too sweet, but they turned out to be perfectly balanced--refreshing without being sugary. Manon is a fantastic addition to the Fullerton food scene. Between the high-quality meats and the attentive staff, it's a great spot for a casual yet high-quality meal. Do not skip the pork jaw--it's a game-changer!

    Crab Fried Rice
    Sharai G.

    The quality of the food is to dine for! Crab Fried rice was light, not too oily and it tasted divine! The satay chicken was perfectly seasoned and served so perfectly. The aesthic is minimalist with an air of class! Definitely bring my fiance here for dates!

    Lydia P.

    Manon is by far one of my favorite thai restaurants in the OC area. My favorite is the chicken peneg curry and beef pad see ew. Personally, the pad thai is surprisingly not the best BUT, everything else I've tried has been extremely flavorful. The only reason why I am giving it 4 stars is because I've noticed that a lot of the workers a bit slow and have you waiting but overall, they are extremely kind, friendly, and all hard working! I also love the aesthetic of manon, super family friendly restaurant!

    Took over Wood Cafe in the shopping center with Kohls in Placentia. Came for lunch at noon on a Wednesday. No wait but the place was full. Service was quick and friendly. Food came out pretty quickly. - Penang Nuer (Beef stew): flavor was good but the beef is over cooked and had a livery texture - Grilled Prok Jowl: soft and flavorful not dry at all. Dipping sauce is on point - Naem Khao Tod (crispy fermented park rice salad): flavor was good but the rice was not crispy at all. Was clumpy and mushy. Would not order this again unless it was crunchy. - Chicken Satay: flavor was good and the chicken was tender - Hot green tea is served in a teabag and not fresh tea leaves All in all, I will give it another try but will only reorder the pork jowl and chicken satay again.i will try other dishes next time and update my review. For now, a solid 3 (would be 3.5 if allowed)

    Pad Kee Mao
    Emily C.

    We've been here twice and the food is pretty good. However the beef in the pad kee mao was undercooked so we had to send it back. We really liked the chef specials like the pork leg stew and the prawns with glass noodles. We wanted to reorder the pork leg stew the second time we went but they were sold out so we need to call in advance next time. The leng saap soup was interesting because it was a little spicy and a little sour which I personally liked but my family was not the biggest fan. The morning glory was a bit salty which is probably why it comes with a bowl of rice and you can add crispy pork to it for an extra charge. The grilled pork jowl was so good we ordered it the second time around. The crab fried rice came recommended by the waiter but it was too soggy for our liking.

    We came here a couple of weeks ago and were pleasantly surprised. It's one of those hidden gems…read moretucked into a quiet corner of an older mini plaza -- the kind of place you might overlook if you're just driving by. But don't let the location fool you, because the food truly shines. We ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken, basil fried rice, chicken satay, and the crab appetizer with cream cheese. Everything was delicious, but the crab appetizer really stole the show. Perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside -- I'm still craving it! The Pad See Ew had that smoky wok flavor with tender noodles, and the chicken satay was juicy and paired great with the sauce. The food came out hot and fresh -- just the right temperature -- and the staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a great experience. I'll definitely come back again when I'm in town.

    The food is ok A lot…read moreof the food can be veganized but I thought it was weird/rude for the server to say "just to let you know the papaya salad won't have the same taste if vegan. Just letting you know because people send the food back" The server in general seemed rude and a little mean. She was ok taking our order but it seemed like she was not in the best mood I got the chili tofu, drunken noodle and Bangkok noodle. The drunken noodle probably had the best flavor. Papaya salad was ok I felt like the "it doesn't taste the same" comment was a little weird. Like they don't put as much effort into a dish I'd requested vegan

    Sooo freaking good!!! Went on a Sunday and got there at 5pm and added ourselves to the Yelp…read morewaitlist. First check in text was at 5:40pm and then the second text to let us know we would be seated was at 5:52pm. Definitely a popular spot so I recommend coming early. Parking was a bit tough but we found a spot. The inside was spacious and clean and our servers were friendly, always checking in, and efficient at refilling our water. We got the crab fried rice which was pretty good, especially the green sauce that comes with it. Not sure what it is but tasted kind of tangy. The pad Thai was with beef and I was pleasantly happy and surprised that there was some tofu in it as well. Prior to coming in and seeing the pictures, the pad Thai did not look that appealing but oh wow was I incredible wrong on that. The flavor was absolutely perfect and I can't wait to come back and get it again. My boyfriend got the hot pot and the tom yum flavor was amazing. Perfectly tangy for me, though my boyfriend thought it was too citrusy. He was happy with the amount of food provided as he typically needs a good amount to be fulfilled. His only criticism was that he wishes there were more ramen noodles. And seriously saved the best for last... the dessert! The Thai pandan crusted + coconut ice cream on cream pan's premium white toast, I would eat again as well. We are not even huge fans of coconut ice cream but this complemented the pandan bread very nicely and the coconut was not that strong of a flavor so we very much enjoyed it!

    I first visited Manaao when it opened and was impressed by how flavorful everything was. Came back…read morerecently, but felt the overall quality went down a bit. My go-to is the khao soi, so rich and creamy! The pad thai was a bit disappointing though, it lacked flavor and we found a hair on it at the end of the meal. Note: It gets busy, even on a weekday. The parking lot is quite small, but you can try looking for street parking as well.
