This place was such a pleasant surprise. From the outside, it looks pretty unassuming, but once you…read morestep inside, it's actually incredibly cute and has a warm, inviting atmosphere. One of the highlights is their Thai tea, which is served with a popsicle and seems to be one of their most popular items for good reason. It's fun, unique, and absolutely delicious. I also tried the salmon curry, which was something new for me, and I ended up loving it. The flavors were rich, balanced, and unlike anything I've ordered before. Another unexpected favorite was the wings. I'm usually not a big wings person, but these were surprisingly good--crispy, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. Overall, the food, drinks, and atmosphere exceeded my expectations. It's a spot I would absolutely come back to and one that I would definitely recommend to others.

After a festival by LBC city hall we stopped in to have a quick dinner. LBC is happening in the…read moreevenings and weekends but most restaurants close pretty early. Kin was one of the only restaurants open until 10 PM. We were seated right away, and somehow the five of us sat in a private room. It was kind of late for me to eat anything really heavy so I just have my usual salad and it was the beef tenderloin salad. They serve it up with a lot of beef and less veggies. The beef itself was a little chewy and in large pieces. I prefer the meat to be cut a little smaller and would like more lettuce and cucumber. I got a little taste of the spicy fried rice, which was really good. Some of us ordered Thai tea and didn't expect what we received, which was the tea with a Thai tea popsicle. What a treat! The Thai tea itself was pretty standard, but that popsicle was like the icing on a cake. The places, modern and clean. Staff is helpful and nice. Parking is their own lot but can be difficult to get a spot on a busy day or night.

Came here after seeing an Instagram reel about it!…read more Came around 12pm on Friday and was easily able to get a seat for 2 people with no wait. We ordered the thai papaya salad, khao soi with beef, thai ice tea, and pork belly with khao soi curry. The food came out extremely fast! The papaya salad was nice and tangy, it came with two pieces of shrimp, definitely could've come with more but it was delicious overall, 7/10. The khao soi was delicious as well, but there was a very small amount of meat for the price and the taste didn't blow me away, 6/10. The pork belly was juicy and crispy! They gave a lot of pork and rice, I think it was worth the price of $25.95, 8/10. The thai ice tea was solid as well. Overall, this place is a bit pricey, we paid $91 for 2 people after tax and tip, but the portion sizes were good, we could barely finish everything. There is minimal parking on the street right outside of the restaurant, but there are side streets to park on.

Came here on a random weekday and it was still so crowded with a 40-50 minutes wait. No reservation…read moreor Yelp wait list available so it's first come first serve. Anyways, we ordered roti with curry sauce, crab curry, and Khao Soi noodle soup with curry sauce and chicken. The roti with curry sauce was good, irresistible, and flavorful, however, I wish the roti was a bit more fluffy and airy. As for the crab curry, I actually thought this was okay in my opinion. It had enough flavors, however, I don't think the sauce was my cup of tea as it was starting to feel a bit overwhelming with the coconut. Lastly, for the Khao Soi noodle soup, I actually thought it was good but definitely not the best dish I've eaten. It's on the lighter side without skipping much of the flavors. Overall, I thought this place was delicious, however, it can be a bit overwhelming with the flavors. The service was okay. The staff were super busy, so it was a bit difficult getting their attention. Street parking in the neighborhood.

Sure, it's kinda hood, and some have felt that it was too small or not as presentable as other restaurants and Thai spots in LB, but that's part of its charm. There's a local and family-owned vibe here, and I recommend it to all my peoples! Our favourite dishes here have been the bbq pork, pad see ew, fried tofu, tom yum, yellow curry, khao soi, drunken noodles, spicy angel wings, green curry, larb, and kra phao eggplant. All of these have never failed to bring out the "oohs," "ahhs," and "yums" from us! Other solid choices include pad thai, pineapple fried rice, boat noodles, thai crispy garlic chicken with orange sauce, and thai bbq chicken. Yes, we've eaten here a lot and have introduced it to a number of people! The service is very fast at Elephant Thai, and the menu has switched to digital since the pandemic. On the plus side, they have also not gotten rid of their healthcare worker discount (10%)! The parking lot is tiny, but there is local street parking available. It's so close to my hospital that it's so easy to take a quick lunch trip! Come show some love at Elephant Thai Kitchen!

They had quite a lot of options on their lunch specials which was nice I got the spicy wings with fried veggie dumplings. The wings were freshly fried with a thin batter that stayed crispy even with the generous amount of sauce. The sauce was sweet, savory, and tangy - very tasty. My partner liked his tofu yellow curry with fried tofu appetizer as well. We got the lychee iced tea and Thai tea for our drinks - both were excellent! Good value for what you get! It wasn't busy on a Monday, service was quick. Interior was cute, some natural lighting from the windows. Lots of seating available Would come back to try some of their other dishes!

It's a thing now that I have to make a stop here for Thai food. Long Beach has loads of places but…read morethis one takes the cake for me. There's a few nearby which fiends have referred and raved about, but this one left a lasting impression. I love me some boat noodles and they do not disappoint. The nice thick broth with loads of meats all mixed in together. Then you have the Chinese broccoli for the perfect veggie paring. Wow, it so good. Some places cannot get their broth right which does make a major difference. Sometimes it ends up being too watery and defected the purpose. Here, the broth is perfect. Also any of their curries is excellent. This time we went with the massaman curries. Nice thick broth with peanuts, potatoes, onion and carrots in a coconut sauce. Another flavorful dish. And of course we always get the papaya salad Thai style with shrimp and peanut. There also the Laos style with fermented fish sauce and salty crab. It's quite nice too but it could be too strong of a taste for some people. The food has always been excellent. Service was always excellent with friendly staff. They're always so welcoming and attentive to their customers. A must for me whenever I'm down in Long Beach. Parking can be tricky as it's all street parking.

We ordered the Thai Boat Noodle with large noodles and didn't receive the correct noodles. I requested the Green Curry w/ chicken extra spicy and a side of Roti, and they gave me Roti with a small side of green curry. When I notified the server (who didn't originally take our order), she came back with Green Curry w/ chicken, but it had no spice whatsoever. We had to flag down the waitress for a few times, and at some point, we ended up just going to the front counter because we got tired of waiting for someone to come by for us to get to-go containers. Some dishes were served correctly. The Stuffed Chicken Wings tasted like lumpia, especially with the sweet chili sauce it's served with. The Drunken Noodle w/ beef tasted good, but I found the beef to noodle ratio lacking. Overall, food was decent, but service was disappointing.

We circle the block a few times eventually returning to my house and catching an Uber to the restaurant. It's my birthday and a perfect day to celebrate with good food. Walking in we are presented with an authentic Thai restaurant the staff are welcoming and seat us right away. The menu is vast and there are many options everything I see looks interesting and delicious. I already know what I want, my vegan daughter checks out the menu and here is what we ordered. Crab Fried Rice I chose Crab Fried Rice and asked them to make it spicy. This Crab Fried Rice was seasoned to perfection the crab was sweet, the fried eggs, green onions and fried onions kicked it up another notch this spicy fried rice was delicious and the best thing I ever eaten in 2026. 20/10 Vegetable Egg Rolls Three egg rolls served with a trio of sauces I asked for something spicy as well. Crunchy on the outside with a filling that was a bit fluffy with onions and veggies. I loved the crispy texture dipped into the sauces all soo different sweet, savory and spicy. 10/10 I ordered water and sprite as my drinks. Basil Fried Rice (made vegan) My daughter had Basil Fried Rice stir fried with onions and basil the seasoning was on point she said it was amazing I had a bite and it was delicious she wants to have this again on our next visit. 20/10 Birthday Dessert They were kind and gave me a desert for my birthday I believe it's called mango sticky rice it was very good and my first time eating that. 8/10 The vibe in this restaurant was chill our server was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed water napkins extra sauces and containers for my leftovers she gave me three sauces to enjoy with my food. . My daughter finished her meal and I had enough for lunch the next day. Overall we had an amazing time at SpicySugar Thai and I'm coming back for the Calamari, whole Fried Fish and Thai Papaya Salad.
