I love coming here for lunch, they have a great Lunch special of a small salad, soup and entrée for a good deal! I ordered the Beef Thai Boat Noodles. It was so tasty! The service is also great, they are very attentive and helpful. Also the restaurant gives nice cozy local vibes which keeps me coming back :) read more

I love this place. I often order to go from here... but I finally got to sit inside this time. The deco is nice inside. Wood and bronze/gold throughout.. nice, calm, Thai feeling. Everyone is pleasant, attentive and nice. The atmosphere is relaxed. Would be great spot for an intimate date or quality time, as it is not loud. I have always loved their Pad Thai and my little man loves their eggrolls. Thai Tea is delicious. The rice, white or other, is always fresh and perfect. I do recommend you ALWAYS get their garlic fried rice. Sounds plain- but trust me- you won't regret it! Ask my adult kids- they always want it! I have tried several of their food items. My older son loves their orange chicken- it is not what one would consider a traditional orange chicken... it's more like tempura chicken with a nice glaze. Much lighter and fluffier than what you're used to. But it's gooood. I love their eggplant. I almost always get their dumpling curry- it's a spicy green curry with chicken dumplings in it... great with white rice. My only complaint- and they know it- is that they don't have a delivery service of their own.. they use postmates or one of those crappy services that likes to mess up my delivery- so I usually just order and pick up. read more

This place has consistently good service and food. Walked in every time and was seated immediately. Ordered the khao soi, pad see ew, pineapple fried rice, and thai tea. All were delicious. The thai tea is not as sweet as others I've had. read more

Went back after a while, this time for lunch with friends. The decor is beautiful and the interior is cozy. Service is friendly and efficient. The food is the star and was excellent as always. I had the lunch special Drunken noodles with chicken and it came with salad, soup and wonton. For$15 it's a great deal. Would highly recommend. read more

Rocharin Thai Bistro is truly one of the most special restaurants for a multitude of reasons. First off, I've gone here for 8 years and although there are great restaurants everywhere, Rocharin keeps me coming back to some of the best customer service while delivering the most authentic Thai dishes. Not many places can say they do both consistently especially for being around as long as they have been. I can order anything here and fully enjoy it but some of my favorites have to be the crispy fish, drunken noodles and the crab fried rice. The crispy fish has the most flavorful sauce on top of the softest fish yet crunchy exterior. I also order it with a side of garlic fried rice and it pairs perfectly. The drunken noodles I can recommend to anyone and they'll love how properly cooked it is and you can order up to Thai spicy (which is actually spicy, not mild in the slightest). The crab fried rice is when I want something indulgent yet won't make me feel like crap after. The calm dimmer ambiance has stayed the same throughout all these years and I appreciate that they don't rely on anything flashy to get customers through the door. I will keep supporting them for as long as I can and I hope that they will be there for a very long time. read more

I visited recently with a friend and had a genuinely wonderful experience. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff was very attentive and I never felt rushed. We started with the appetizer sampler platter and the lettuce wraps, both of which were fresh and full of flavor. It set the tone for the rest of the meal in the best way. For our main dishes, we ordered the yellow chicken curry, pad see ew, and the Tiger's Tear steak. Everything was cooked beautifully. The curry was rich, the pad see ew had great balance and texture, and the steak was incredibly tender with a nice depth of flavor. I also ordered a Thai tea, which was just the right amount of sweet and rounded out the meal perfectly. I left already thinking about what I'd come back to try next. This place is absolutely worth a visit! read more

Went for dinner and really enjoyed everything we ate. Nice service and ambience too. Highly recommend.

I've been on a mission to try Khao Soi, the creamy coconut curry noodle soup from Northern Thailand, and Yelp pointed me to this spot as one of the top choices. We came on a Sunday around noon and had no problem parking in the lot right in front of the restaurant. It was pretty quiet--only one other table was occupied--which made the experience feel relaxed and unhurried. The ambiance was surprisingly nice, almost spa-like, with cool air, calming music, and a big screen playing beautiful scenes of Thailand. Service was friendly and welcoming. The server let me know that their Khao Soi doesn't include the crispy noodles that usually come with the traditional version, but honestly, the flavor was still on point. The curry was rich, creamy, and well-balanced without being too heavy. We also came during happy hour and ordered the chicken satay as an appetizer. The chicken was juicy, and the peanut sauce was seriously delicious--definitely a must-order. I'd absolutely come back again the next time I'm in the Seal Beach area. read more

I've been here 3 times so far! My dogs get groomed in the same plaza so we grab lunch here sometimes. The staff are very nice and make great recommendations! The food is delicious. I usually go for the mango sticky rice but everything else looked great too. The coconut chiffon cake is a must try as well! Their flavored iced teas are refreshing, especially the mango read more

Seal Beach definitely has less Asian cuisine compared to neighboring cities. I'm so glad that this Thai restaurant is serving some great Thai, Asian, and fusion dishes. My favorite was the Pad See Ew and Tiger's Tears, both were very flavorful and came out steaming hot. The portions are big and we had leftovers. The workers are very nice and provided great service. The restaurant is beautiful, great spot to dine in or grab takeout. Be sure to order a Thai Tea to perfect your meal! ig: @cravingswithcat read more

Picked up to go this evening. Chicken pad Thai was excellent. Great sauce. Real size peanuts. Great portion size Got the garlic wings. Great flavor. Great size to order. Came with side garnishes of broccoli and carrots. Good price. Good value. Highly recommend read more

This is a nice place with very accommodating personnel. A group of friends and I have selected this place for our monthly social meetings because we are able to reserve a table for our small group and there is a wonderful selection of foods. If you like crispy things, they have that. If you want something with rice or noodles, they have that. The food is tasty and portions are a good size. read more

Conveniently located near Main Street in Seal Beach but far enough away to 1) avoid traffic and 2) have free parking! Just off of PCH and 5th. The ambiance in this place is fairly nice and is a good place to meet friends and family. Arriving at 6pm we were seated immediately with just two other tables filled. By 6:30 the place was nearly at capacity! The menu has a lot of variety and I was delighted to see Pumpkin Curry and Pineapple Curry which one doesn't see often enough; however, I opted not to try these. Next time. I ordered the Stirfry Eggplant with Soft Tofu (also a big plus that this protein is listed separately from just regular Tofu which is often fried). The dish had a nice tangy sauce and comes with your choice of rice(s). It was not greasy. Could have been spicier but I did not request the spice tray so no complaints about that. My friend ordered an entree of Glass Noodles with Scallops and Shrimp. This was disappointing as it was too dry and the seafood pieces small. Perhaps this is standard. I'd opt out on this dish. The service is good and the staff friendly. read more

They need an absolute update to how they handle online orders. I waited in the online food pickup line for 45 minutes. Mind you thats 45 minutes after the pickup time I was given. A young couple came in 25 minutes after I was waiting and were offered Thai Iced Tea for the inconvenience of waiting. I wasn't even acknowledged or offered anything for my troubles. Any update I received on my order was only after flagging down employees that were actively avoiding eye contact with me in the pick up line. Somehow my food and the young couples food was ready at the same time. Even though our estimated pickup times were 20 minutes apart. read more

Too good not to gatekeep! My boyfriend and I came here for a lunch date and it did not disappoint. We ordered the kimchi basil fried rice, garlic wings, Thai boat noodles, dumpling curry -- and of course, Thai tea (with coconut milk). Every bite was a hit! We'll definitely be back. read more

We had an eventful day in Seal Beach and decided to stop by here for lunch. Parking: Free parking lot. They're located in a small plaza, so parking can be a bit tricky. We got lucky with parking in front of the restaurant. Ambiance/Environment: Really nice and clean inside! Great for large groups. They have a small bar in the back left corner. We came in around @12:30, and noticed it started getting busy in the late afternoon. You can do a walk up or make reservations online. Service: Shout out to our server Jeremy! Not only was he waiting tables by himself, but he also took great care of us! Very courteous and efficient. Throughput was approximately 15 min for our orders. What we ordered: 1) Royal Thai Appetizer (lunch special), Sake Paloma, Sake Moscow Mule - This royal appetizer came in a 3 tier stand filled with all Thai classics such as egg rolls, chicken skewers, cheese puffs, coconut shrimps, fried dumplings, Thai money bags, and shrimp wrappers. All the sauces came on top. My favorite was the peanut sauce. Everything was cooked well and absolutely delicious! We decided to go with the 2 cocktails. The Moscow mule was strong, and the Paloma was sweet & fruity. 2) Seal Beach Noodles - stir fry yakisoba noodles with shrimp, chicken, onions, dry chili, cashew nuts, & water chestnuts in their special house sauce. The noodles had a lot of flavor and wasn't too salty. The chicken and shrimp were also cooked well, though I wish it had more of it. 3) Mongolian Beef with Jasmine brown rice (lunch special) - Mongolian beef was mouth watering! The jasmine brown rice wasn't too sticky. The dressing on the salad really pulled the flavors together. This also came with a small soup and crispy wonton; both had a plain taste but made the entire dish fulfilling. 4) Mango Lemonade & Thai Tea Lemonade - These were so refreshing! We loved both our drinks! Pricing: It is a bit on the pricier end. Can't blame them for operating in this inflation. I'd say it's worth it because their food tastes authentic, great service, and welcoming ambiance. read more

Sorry. This was my favorite several years ago. Changed owners. Now the worst. Curry was thin and tasteless. Other dishes disappointing. $160 plus tip for 3 of us. Insane. Sorry, but saying goodbye. read more

This used to be our family's go-to carryout spot, and we've ordered from here many times. Unfortunately, the more frequently we get it, the more I've started to notice the quality becoming a bit more basic for the price we're paying. The food isn't bad, but it no longer feels like the value or care matches what initially made us keep coming back. For the cost, I was expecting more consistency and attention to quality. I hope this is something that improves, because this place really did earn its spot as a family favorite at one point. read more

OC's Best Thai Ribeye Steak goes to Rocharin! Yes, I know... confused? Rocharin Thai Bistro is a hidden gem in Seal Beach that doesn't step down from Thai flavor despite being a very small retired community and this was completely unexpected. My critical Thai mother was impressed and mentioned the flavors tasted similar to her own home cooking. On top of that, you will receive the nicest service from @pa2patou ! Why do I think Rocharin has the best Thai Ribeye Steak aka Crying Tiger? The large Ribeye Steak is nicely marinated and grilled to perfection. It served with this tangy lime sauce that has dried chili flakes, shallots, scallions, fish sauce and more. Oh this sauce is an addiction! As you dip your pieces of steak into the Thai sauce, with every bite you will just want more and more. Visual review: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-X3UvhpFOB/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== read more

This place is in a cute little center, there's a parking lot as well as street parking! When you enter in, you see the entryway decorated with flowers and other decorations. It's a welcoming site to see. Staff is welcoming and they're very friendly throughout all of service! They have Happy Hour Monday-Friday from 5-6pm, and then on Saturday & Sunday from 12-6pm! Highly recommend it! The food is worth it and the drinks are amazing! What we ordered: Royal Thai Happy Hour - Consists of Crispy Spring Rolls, Cheese Puff, Grilled Dumplings, Coconut Shrimp, Tofu Delight, Shu Mai, Chicken Satay, and Golden Bags. It was all great, but my favorite had to be the Golden Bag. It was amazing! We did the 2 cocktails version, which is $55. So we got the Sake Mojito and the Sake Margarita. Never thought to do a sale version of these drinks, but they're quite amazing! Seal Beach Noodles - These noodles were amazing! The shrimp was a good size, the flavors were bold, and was just overall a well rounded dish! Three Flavor Salmon - this salmon was cooked to perfection. It had a good spice. And it comes with a small bowl of rice! Mango Sticky Rice - they picked out a very good mango for this! And I loved the texture of the rice! Nothing was overly sweet, and it's a great finisher to the meal! Coconut Ice Cream - Okay....let me tell you, I was SHOCKED with how delicious this ice cream is! It's made in house, and bonus for a lot of people.... IT'S VEGAN!!! Hands down my favorite ice cream, and I'm not a massive coconut fan! Please try this place out, it's amazing, you won't be disappointed! read more

This was our second visit to Rocharin. We liked it the first time around. We loved it the second. Upon entering we were promptly seated. The server even remembered us from our first visit. I was very impressed by that feat. She even remembered what my wife ordered. She could not recall me ordering the Red Curry. The restaurant was warm. Outside it was cold and foggy, so we really enjoyed the warm, welcoming interior of the restaurant. Now for today's ordering. Once again my wife ordered Pad Thai with pork. That woman does love her Pad Thai. She reported that it was very good! Me, while being tempted to go for the curry, I did not surcome to the urge. Instead, I ordered the Fried Branzino (Bass). The Branzino was terrific! It came with a small salad, rice and vegetables. All were prepared well. We'll be going back. This restaurant has earned my respect. They prepare and serve quality food at fair pricing. Almost forgot...our server was Jeremy. He made sure experience was enjoyable. read more

Was craving Thai food and a worker at the hotel we're staying at recommended this place. We were impressed the moment we walked in. The atmosphere is beautiful. We started with the drinks; my son got the strawberry lemonade and I got Thai tea lemonade. The Thai tea lemonade was something I've never seen before. It was yummy. We ordered papaya pokpok, pad see ew, and pineapple fried rice. All the food was so good!! I was tempted to ordered another dish, but we were already so full. If I ever come back here, then I will return to this restaurant. read more

My wife is Thai foodie. She ordered her usual favorites but was disappointed and didn't finish any of the dishes. Her only comment was "way too much sugar" in everything. As if to confirm that point, my blood sugar shot up to 215 after dinner and I had to increase my insulin dosage before going to bed. read more

Hands down continues to be one of my favorite Thai restaurants! When dining in, the restaurant is gorgeous inside and everyone is so kind and helpful! For takeout, they are efficient and always get our order correct. Favorite I still continue to order are the curry noodle soup (khoa soi) and the garlic green beans. The mango sticky rice dessert is always a great choice too! Looking forward to our next visit! read more

THE BEST CHICKEN KHOA SOI EVER MADE IN LA/OC AREA. You'd think that Thai restaurants are making Khoa Soi on the regular, but you'd be surprised that a lot of them do not. LA restaurants aren't making it with chicken at all.. This soup tastes SO good in hot or cold weather and will make you feel cozy and warm from perfectly made curry broth and egg noodle. I like to squeeze some of the lime juice on it as well to add that little acidity to it. I travel from LA just to get this soup. Service is fast and super welcoming and you keep on wanting to come back. Sticky mango rice is so yummy and as well as their other dishes that everyone should try. I also love Thai beer which you can get here as well. Ambience is chill and relaxing. Thank you team for a great meal and experience!!! read more
