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.
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.
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!
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
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
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.
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.
I picked up a pineapple fried rice for dinner. It has 2 shrimps with a few pieces of chicken. The rice was a little soggy but overall it was ok.
The best little gem around, it was cozy and amazing! The service was swift and friendly. Every dish that we had was a 10/10. Will be dreaming about this place for a long time.

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

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 deserves more hype because their customer service and plating is exceptional! The owner prides themselves on the quality of their meat and shrimp and it definitely didn't disappoint as I got their Thai Boat Noodle and appetizer assortment tier. Overall, the food was quite flavorful and my favorite was the classic Mango Sticky Rice. The place had such a cozy and almost intimate ambiance, perfect for a date night spot or just a cozy get together. 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

Food was great, service was great, parking was ample! My personal favorites included the khao soi and the green curry dumplings. The calamari was crispy, and the Thai tea was strong, and the crab fried rice had a big portion. I wish I saved room for dessert! read more

Thank you Richard for sharing your experience with us! Hope to see…
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

I'm always craving Thai food so when I went here I was so excited and so hungry. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but once you go inside, it was so beautiful and honestly really looked more like a date spot for sure. I wanted to try different stuff besides the usual pad thai so we got Crab fried rice and it was the most amazing fried rice. The scrambled egg enveloped the mountain of rice which made for an awesome and unique presentation. We had to get the platter because I always love me a sampler platter. And the presentation was beautiful as well. Another unique find was the Treasure pot. As soon as I saw scallops and shrimps in the dish, I had to have it and it really was delicious. For drinks we got the Mango Lemonade and I thought it would be too sweet but it was perfect. It was the perfect blend and i was trying not to drink it all at once so I can savor it. My friend got the Thai iced coffee and said it was good too. I would definitely come back again!! read more
