    THAI BITE @ ALISO The pad Thai here 3/5 spice was good, i was it was a tab bit spicier but it was good amount to not be too spicy and still be enjoyable! The workers were super sweet and friendly when ordering plus the food came out fast. Overall would go again!

    This is my go-to local Thai spot when I want reliable, no-frills takeout that never disappoints. The menu is simple, but that's part of why it works and you know you're going to get solid food every single time. I ordered the Pad See Ew and it came with great portions and a generous amount of vegetables, which I really appreciated. Flavor was on point and super satisfying. Also, fair warning: if you ask for spicy, they actually mean it. I ordered a level 3 and while the heat in my mouth could take it, there are other things to consider when you eat spice. You e been warned. This is the perfect spot for takeout when you want something comforting, flavorful, and dependable without overthinking it.

    Its always a blast visiting Thai Bite in AV. Esp. During lunch time and during their lunch specials. On the day I visited, my gf was running on a tight time Crunch . Luckily, i was able to grab a booth and order for us ahead. By the time the food was ready, she arrived and was in sync with the timing. Service was quick, and we were able to catch up on a crunch. Crying tiger and Chicken pad thai are always my "go to" dishes and it never disappoints. 10/10 , portions are good, it can get busy, and parking can be a bit tricky.

    Just moved in behind the plaza, and I'm so happy we can walk here. For my husband and I, the last 2 times we've lived someplace/moved, a bomb *af* Thai place in close proximity just happened to be a given, and this place delivers on that. Cute spot by Ralph's, and the service is very good. The food is DELICIOUS, gives you that 'it's on crack' feeling that Thai food usually incites - that being, you'll want to eat more even when you're full. It tastes great the next day and the day after. The portion sizes are generous. Can't wait to try more of their items.

    Thai Bite is one of our favorite restaurants for dinner. It's close by, good service and great food! Today we had Tom Yum Soup, Gaeng Mussaman Curry, Pad Ga-Prow, with steamed rice. Perfect meal for a cold day! Everything was delicious! I really enjoyed the sweet, savory, spicy, and fragant meals. There is a reason we come here often. All our meals are easily made vegan when requested. The servers are friendly and helpful. The restaurant is small, and comfortable. Definitely recommend this place if you like Thai Food.

    Great location amazing clean delicious tasting food. Our server Vicki is quick kind and attentive. Great experience. Food has a great portion as well. Restaurant is so so clean. Love everything about it.

    Bangkok Duck. Left over and refried from prior evening.

    If I could give this place a negative star I would. First and foremost this place used to be good about 15 years ago. This restaurant has been declining the past 10 years probably due to a change in ownership. The past few times I've ordered the past 15 years it's been disappointing as to give it one more chance. Today is the day I've given up. Not only has the food almost double in price, the quality is even worst. I ordered the Bangkok duck and needless to say it sucked. The meat was so dry it was not even edible. It was dryer than the Sahara desert. I believe this was a left over that that had refried (see image if you don't believe me). The pad Thai was even worst as it didn't have any flavor. Bottom Line avoid this place like the plague. I am surprised they have not shut this place down for crappy food at ridiculous price.

    I am a Thai Food expert who has been to thousands of Thai Restaurants. Very little flavor in this Pad KeeMao and it was the worst food i've had out at any restaurant in weeks. Will never be visiting this establishment ever again. Save your time and go to other establishments. Want to reiterate how awful this place is from a quality and price perspective. Absolutely awful.

    Love the lunch specials here! Such a great deal for what you get. I love the soup that comes with the lunch specials too! My husband ordered the pad thai and I had the yellow curry with chicken. Service is quick and food is consistent. Pricing is based off of your protein choice. I do wish the tofu protein option was the same price as the veggie option. Tofu is priced with chicken and pork. I opted for chicken but was hoping to do half chicken, half tofu, however that is not an option Would come back again for the lunch specials!

    Came here for the first time for a big family dinner! Thai Bite is a solid spot when you're craving classic Thai food! They've got a really good selection on the menu--pad thai, pad see ew, curries, fried rice, stir-fries, you name it. Everything we ordered was flavorful and came out hot and fresh. The portions are generous, and the spice levels are customizable, which is always a nice touch. It's a great go-to for Thai comfort food without breaking the bank. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for something tasty and satisfying!

    Was in the mood for some Tai Food and remembered this place was decent I grabbed my mom and headed out the door. We found parking right away. We did go out of a kind of off hours at around 4:30 PM. The place was pretty empty. We were seated right away. The restaurant itself it's not very big, but there is plenty of seating and they have their tables set up in a very pretty and elegant way so you feel like you're eating in a fancy place lol but definitely not fancy prices. My mom's always in the mood for a soup even if it's 85° outside. I ordered her the Tom Yum with shrimp and it did not disappointed she is very particular, but she actually liked it. I've had it before and it is delicious. We also ordered some what I believe were chicken egg rolls.. that came with a sweet dipping sauce and they were really good, mom also approved. I ended up ordering a steak salad and the meat was very tender, well seasoned and flavorful, I really enjoyed it. I usually order their stirfry which are also amazing as well. Our server was very attentive throughout the whole time, overall we really enjoyed our meal come and check them out!!

    So I have been coming here for 25 plus years and had the chance to come back again. Got food to go ordered the veggie stir fry with cashews and chicken pad Thai both were good $35 for both was the price point.

    Great food. If you eat in instead of take out, you'll like the ambiance. The Laguna Niguel location is the best of the two.

    Do you use MSG in your dishes?

    MSG occurs naturally in many foods such as tomatoes, cheese, mushrooms, and potatoes. Please do not fearmonger.

    Hi are there vegan options?

    Yes you can pick any protein with most dishes

    Can they prepare chicken dishes using dark meat?

    I’m so sorry. We only have white meats but we have Thai BBQ chicken that we use half whole chicken ( white and dark meat mixed)

    Do they take reservations?

    yes they do

    What time does their lunch special end and begin?

I'm blessed this is right around the corner from my work, so it's convenient (which is a temptation). The food is very delicious and the portion sizes are generous. I'm ordering form here every week for lunch, and nothing I've had has really disappointed. Food is served hot and made quickly. Their pineapple rice is off the charts. I would suggest getting it a bit spicy/with more Thai curry. Their crab and Thai fried rice is also a hit. Their massaman curry is flavourful and not too hot. You can always add more spice if you want. My favourite noodle dishes are the Pad thai (so yummy and not dry), pad kee mao (love the Thai basil), and pad wood sen. I have ordered the chowmein, it wasn't the best or my favourite, this dish didn't really taste "Thai" at all and I would not order it again, but it does not affect my opinion of this place. The people are friendly and food is ready despite them usually being busy. Don't forget to ask for chili in vinegar - these are a yummy addition to your food.

I don't know how to describe what it tastes like, but it's kind of like a seafood curry with spinach and a bright rainbow curry. Pad woon soon was good too. And pad see ewe. However, I had a major disappointment Last night. I ordered a Tom kha goong soup that cost $17. Most places sell the soup for like 5-10 dollars so I'm thinking $18 is expensive that has got to be some dinner portion soup so it didn't make sense when it asked me if I wanted a large for seven dollars more, I'm thinking that that's probably a portion for a family. But it's cold and it's raining and I wanted to sip on something warm. They sent me the tiniest cup of soup. think when you go to a restaurant and they ask you if you want a cup of soup for three dollars or a bowl of soup for five dollars. I got a cup of soup. think when you go to a Japanese restaurant and they give you a small little miso soup with your meal. That's how much soup I got for $18. There were two slices of tomatoes in there a a couple mushrooms and a 2 piece of shrimp. This upset me so much because I spent so much money and was expecting some food. I politely called the restaurant and spoke to them about it and they said that they were very sorry but it's expensive because DoorDash charges 30% of the price. Which I understand, and I expect to pay more to have something delivered, but it was still very expensive for what I got, and in the end, it wouldn't have cost them much to give a large portion, and they should be more mindful about balancing what the customer is getting with their profits. Which they totally deserve their profits. It would be much more reasonable if the small was $6 and the large was $12. If that was the small I can imagine that the $25 large portion probably should've been offered as the small portion. Just writing that out upsets me so much have you ever spent $25 for a soup before?

You literally have to wave them down for refills, or remind for sauces, etc. one time it took 15 minutes from when we asked for a check to get the bill. Then another 10 for them to pick it up, so we got up and took it to the front register. Ordering takeout is even worse. They hand you a receipt to sign and tip them for...well I don't know why they expect a tip. Every visit I ask for several types of sauces and or utensils, they are ALWAYS skimping out. If I order 3 entrees and I ask for hot sauce, I should be given enough hot sauce for my order. Skinny short haired lady hands me 3 ketchup size packets for 3 entrees max. The final straw was on a takeout order when I see the typical "3 sauces for 3 entrees" and I ask as usual for more sauces, the lady has the audacity to give me 1 more and then turns around not saying bye. I go to my car and per usual they forget all utensils. I go back in and the lady is visibly mad I'm back, I ask for utensils and she gives me 2 (bro I always order 3 entrees, it's for 3 people). I ask for one more and she scoffs but gives me the third. Then says "do you need anything else?" Yes ma'am, I need you to learn customer service if you're front of house. Every time I come in I'm angered by her attitude and service. NEVER EVER AGAIN!
