Food and service were fantastic! I stopped in for a quick lunch one day and was really impressed. I had to come back to try more items, and it did not disappoint. The customer service was stellar--they recommended the red curry, and it was delicious. I'll definitely be back!

Michelle H.

quick, fresh, and delicious! what more can I say.? It is spacious, homey, and the service is very good! We were helped by such a friendly woman who was helpful with recommendations, very attentive with our table, and she even cared to ask about my experience and how I liked the spice level she chose for my pad Thai! I definitely recommend it here whether you dine in or take out!

The Kitchen, and the decorations

The service was amazing, and the food was brought in under 7-10 minutes, they were super kind, and the food was not that pricey, but still amazing.

Such a great gem. I randomly came here and the owner took my order and was awesome. Allowed me to customize, and was just great. Food came out quick and have 0 bad things to say. Other than come try this place out. Had the Pad Se Ew, super yummy!! Small little space, such a good find.

Pad See Ew
Vera W.

Cute little 7 table place next to CVS. Very friendly and attentive staff. Generous food portions but every dish except for the papaya salad was lacking something. Tom Yum Chicken Soup was just okay. Was not as sour as most Thai places...and I don't know if I'm upset or not that they took out the lemongrass for me. The soup wasn't lacking in chicken or mushrooms. We ordered flat rice noodles on the side and it was a very nice compliment with the soup. Pad See Ew - "where's the beef" I don't See Ew...the taste and flavor was not bad but a little disappointed that it only has 3 broccoli florets very little beef. Shrimp Pad Thai was more runny than most Pad Thai I have had. It was a bit bland and felt like it was lacking something in the dish. Thai Fried Rice was very tasty but was missing the wok heat. If you are Asian or an Asian food connoisseur you know what I mean. I thought the Papaya salad was really good and fresh. Overall the place is not bad place if you are looking for something local but I thinks there are far better Thai restaurants in the Southbay.

Food: very tasty (8.8/10) potato soup was very tasty. Service: (10/10) amazing. Very attentive and friendly Ambiance: casual and clean. Great place.

Pineapple curry
Kylah G.

I honestly can't recommend this restaurant although the service was so good the food was not. We left all the calamari on the table, it was cut really big and had an unpleasant fishy taste, the bbq meat was flavorless and all tasted boiled and the fried rice was wet which was odd. It didn't taste like Thai food. My dad liked his pineapple curry and the wonton soup broth was delicious but the wontons were mushy. They have great reviews so maybe it's my family's personal taste but we didn't enjoy this meal at $98 we expected a better experience

Don't know what this soup is called but it's delicious
Lucy A.

Never disappoints me, love the food and the service. Whenever I don't know what to eat I ask for recommendations. Everything is so tasty! Small and cozy place for a quick but delicious meal.

Kai Kua beef, extra noddles
Luis S.

We've been coming to this place it's been a year, so far we love this restaurant, food always so yummy and delicious The lady upfront she's always so nice to everyone, food always come out in a quickly manner and the restaurant vibes feel okay Small restaurant but you feel that every dish is made with love

Pineapple fried rice
Tony Y.

Their pineapple fried rice and red curry with duck were amazing, leaving us wanting more. We arrived around 6 pm, and the place quickly filled up with people. The service was excellent, and the woman working there was very friendly. It's the perfect spot for quick Thai food, plus there's free parking!

Picked up a chicken rice to try for the first time…read more They are located inside the 99 ranch market. It took less than 10 mins to get my food. Chicken was soft and tender. Definitely will come back again. Plenty of parking in the lot.

Location is deeeeep in Hawthorne located in a small plaza right by a busy liquor store. Parking…read moreisn't bad either. Small simple mom and pop restaurant with attentive customer service. Also, they accept card! Not cash only. Nice. Anyway let's talk about the food. I love me some Thai hainan chicken so I had some expectations. Let's gooo. White meat hainan with garlic rice - 8/10 This was really good for the price. I think the meal cost $14 and it came with a cup of broth and dipping sauce. Chicken was cooked without being too dry. Hainan chicken lacked in flavor but the condiments made up for it. I mixed ginger and all the chili in the sauce and enjoyed it. Garlic rice was really good without any raw bits of garlic. Broth was a bit MSG heavy but whatever I still killed it lol Zaab crispy chicken with garlic noodle - 7/10 Zaab crispy chicken was perfectly seasoned, and the sauce didn't make the chicken skin soggy which was a huge plus. The chicken stayed crunchy until the end of the meal. The garlic noodles, though, were a letdown. They were really greasy and lacked flavor. I had to use a lot of the condiments just to give it some taste. Next time, I'd order the Zaab chicken with garlic rice instead. Fried shrimp - 8/10 This was really good. Easy to finish in once sitting. It was just lightly seasoned shrimp wrapped in a fried wonton wrapper. It came with a side of sweet and sour sauce that I barely used. It didn't even need it tbh. Overall, this place was worth a try especially for an affordable hearty meal. Service was quick and menu had lots of options. If you're in the area and want some quick Thai food, check this place out!

Came in for a quick soup for this cold and this was the perfect place for it!…read more Service was friendly and attentive. My Thai tea was perfect and so was my iced water. I got the Tom yum chicken noodle soup and it was a hearty serving it came with a side salad. Everything was yummy in both dishes,only down fall for me would be that I cannot request it spicy. Yes they give you chili paste, powder and pickled chili but none of it was spicy enough. That's just a personal preference but the soup alone was so flavorful and full of noodles and mushrooms. I could not have asked for more perfect serving of soup lol I appreciate the specials, a lovely place to dine in solo or with some friends.

It has been years since I've been to Thai Dishes Manhattan Beach but today I made it back to this…read morespot. I've always been a fan of their lunch specials and I was curious to see how it is years later. Their lunch specials now is what they call "Street Food Lunch." They've got 20 different items for $15.95 to choose from and each dish comes with their house salad with sesame dressing. This lunch special is served until 2pm daily. I was impressed with the variety that the Street Food Lunch menu offered. I love how they had some classic favorites as well as unique dishes that aren't commonly found. They had House Noodle Soup, Ba Mee Hung, BBQ Roasted Duck, Mint Leaves with Ground Chicken, Cashew Nut Chicken, Kao Pao Crispy Pork Belly, Chinese Broccoli with Crispy Pork Belly, Pad Thai Noodles with Shrimp and Chicken, Ba Raan Noodle Soup, Kao Soi Chicken, Mixed Vegetable, Garlic Pepper Pork, Spicy Eggplant Tofu, Spicy Fried Rice Chicken, Tom Yum Kai Noodle Soup, Pad Kee Mow Chicken, Pad See You Noodle with Beef and Chinese Broccoli, Kang Karee Chicken, Kang Pad Beef and Green Curry Shrimp. Certain dishes you could substitute protein for an extra $1 or add egg for $2. I was actually pleasantly surprised that several of the dishes already included egg. It was hard to choose from the good variety of items but my friend and I chose to get their Chinese Broccoli with Crispy Pork Belly and their Kao Soi Chicken. The Kao Soi Chicken was beautifully plated. It came with a tall stand of fried egg noodles on top of coconut curry broth with chicken, egg noodle, onions and pickled package. The Chinese Broccoli with Crispy Pork Belly came with lots of pork belly with stir fried Chinese Broccoli and sides of white rice and fried egg. Both dishes were delicious! I loved the creamy, rich coconut curry curry broth from the Kao Soi Noodle. There was lots of tender chicken in the soup and it paired well with the egg noodles I also tried my friend's dish and appreciated the crisp pork belly and flavorful Chinese Broccoli. The Thai flavors were on point! I definitely want to come back and try more of their Thai Street Food. I enjoyed lunch here very much. Not only were the entrees flavorful, they were also large in size. I even had enough for dinner. I am excited to try their other dishes like the Tom Yum Kai Noodle Soup and the Kang Karee Chicken.

My friend took me here before the amazing twice concert at the Kia Forum. We were supposed to go to…read moreThai Lai for Vietnamese food, but we got there five minutes too late and they already closed up. But we got here instead. The Bangkok sampler was really good. It came with wontons and crab rangoons that were both delightfully delicious. The tempura was good too but I've never had a place that made tempura taste better than other places. My friend got the boat soup and he enjoyed it a lot. It wasn't spicy like a typical boat soup, but the flavor profile was really similar. I got the Thai basil and it was good too but I asked for them to not make it spicy. The service was good and the ambiance is cozy. Definitely worth visiting!

We've ordered takeout from here a handful of times for lunch at work. I''ve tried the pad see ew,…read morepad thai, and the Angel Wings. The Angel Wings are my favorite. They're stuffed and deep-fried, and the filling is really flavorful. The dipping sauce that comes with it is savory. Every time we order from here, that's the one dish I actually look forward to. I tried the pad thai once and I did not like it. It came out dry and didn't have enough sauce. It tasted a bit bland overall. Maybe it was just an off day, but I haven't ordered it again since. The pad see ew is better in my opinion. It's not the best I've ever had, but it's still good and satisfying. The portions are also really generous. The pad thai and pad see ew both come in huge servings and can easily feed two people. Prices are reasonable and a bit cheaper than other similar Thai restaurants.
