    Pineapple fried rice
    Mabel W.

    Thai Bite has great lunch specials but we decided to come for dinner and my kids loved it. We did take out and only had to wait 10-12 min. Food was hot and ready to eat when I returned home. So amazed with how quick their service was. Restaurant location had older customers, it was clean and quiet. Their had a romantic feel due to the low lighting. I saw a few couples there.

    Crying tiger beef dish. Highly recommend.

    Thai Bite in Laguna Niguel is a popular, casual restaurant in the Center at Rancho Niguel known for authentic, flavorful, and reliable Thai dishes like Pad Thai, curries, and mango sticky rice. It offers large portions at reasonable prices, featuring a cozy atmosphere suitable for families and, with many customizable options, good for vegan and vegetarian diners.

    Haven't been here for a while. The last few weeks, we kept on going to the same restaurants that we dined at frequently with the family, so decided to look for something different. Thai Bite turned up on our search and we just realized we forgot about them the last few years. I had the chicken curry with potatoes and cashew nut and that was good. My husband ordered the chicken pad Thai and the noodles were actually overcooked and somewhat mushy. :( Pad Thai noodles should be more chewy. That was disappointing. The restaurant was busy for a weeknight. Not super crowded, but enough business. Service was good though.

    Mango Sticky Rice - terrific
    Brian M.

    Thai Bite is a great local restaurant. We typically start with the satay (beef - good and chicken - great). My favorite item on the menu is always the Thai Wonton Soup - this a 10/10 for me. It is filled with steak, spinach, big doughy wontons and more veggies. Hot and delicious. We also like the Pad Thai. Great noodles. Whatever you do, make sure to save a little room for their mango sticky rice for dessert. If you've never had mango sticky rice before, then you absolutely need to try it. Well, I know it may sound strange to some, but those who know, they know just how good it is. We will definitely be back to this place again and again.

    Pad Thai
    Morgan T.

    Excellent food, lunch portions were plenty and we shared a few dishes - Panang curry, pad Thai, and a coconut shrimp soup (not sure the name). The pad Thai had chicken and tofu which was great and had so much flavor - we really liked that it was fully mixed instead of the vegetables being placed on top or to the side like most places do. The service was good however we felt rushed to order but ultimately was a positive experience. The restaurant was quiet and well kept, very clean!

    Shrimp Pad Thai

    I love this place very much because the food here is super delicious, there was amazing service, great ambiance, and it was quick.

    This is the first time visiting this place, the environment is so nice, and cozy, good to talk and enjoy the different choices they have. The portions are big, the jasmine tea very good. For dinner was a good experience, ill be back to check other dishes for sure. There's a lot of parking outside is a big shopping center. You should visit this place.

    Does this restaurants serve brown rice?

    Yes

    Does anyone have a pic of the broccoli lover dish on their menu? It sounds delicious but I'm hesitant to order something besides the pad Thai, as it's always so delicious.

    This place is absolutely amazing!!!…read more I had the Smoked Pho and it was some of the best I ever had. The brisket in the smoked pho could be its own entree.

My niece had the yellow curry and she loved it. The server was really nice just busy, but she was very friendly.

Lua Eatery feels like a hidden gem and a special find. What makes their bowl stand out is that the herbs and condiments are already incorporated into the soup, creating a cohesive flavor experience from the first sip. The broth itself is quite tasty with a subtle smoky BBQ note that complements the traditional savory base beautifully. Despite being rich and deeply satisfying, it's not greasy or oily, which makes it feel indulgent yet balanced. Definitely a place we'll be returning to. And as as a bonus, the Dana Point Strand Beach is close by and a great spot to enjoy a post-lunch walk!

Flavor profile was just not there and the crab did not taste right. We've been coming here for years so not sure if there was a change in the kitchen or something but it was quite possibly the worst Thai food I've had in a long time. Might give them another shot but going to try other Thai places in the neighborhood from now one.

My job is to help you avoid the tragic first‑date mistakes I've already made, like the overpriced spots, the bland dishes, the "why is this chair attacking my spine?" seating. I've wasted the time, energy and money on the other loser spots so you don't have to. But when I find a place that's clean, visually appealing, thoughtfully designed, and serving food that's actually seasoned, cooked well, and plated with pride? Oh, I'm shouting it from the rooftops. So let me put you on to my latest discovery: DIHO SIAM, right in the heart of Ladera Ranch. If you've followed me on Yelp for a while, you already know I'm a lifelong Thai‑food fanatic. I've been loyal to Thai cuisine longer than some people stay loyal in relationships. Since I wasn't trying to overeat, I ordered an appetizer, and let me tell you, this "appetizer" came out looking like a BIG FULL-GROWN lunch. I'm not a big white‑meat gal, so I asked if they had anything with dark meat. I ended up with chicken wings and drumsticks in a sweet‑and‑sour sauce. The moment I cut into that chicken? I ascended. The breading had that perfect balance...not too salty, not too bland...crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. I'm not saying I had a foodie‑induced spiritual experience, but if I did, nobody needed to know. One look at the rest of the menu and I knew I'd be back. Yes, I will absolutely make the 45‑minute drive to try their lunch dishes. It's worth it. And the prices? Shockingly reasonable considering the economy is basically held together with duct tape and vibes. Now, my one note for the owners: please, for the love of all things holy and iced... offer a dairy‑free Thai iced tea option. It was 94° today, and I was ready to down two giant glasses, but they only use half‑and‑half. This is California. We are oat‑milk, soy‑milk, almond‑milk, "I'm‑on‑Ozempic‑don't‑judge‑me" people. Give the people what they want. Add oat milk to the menu, put a cute little 4x5 flyer in a clear acrylic stand on each table announcing your new dairy‑free Thai iced tea, and watch customers flock to it. And just to close this out on a high note: I'm 100% coming back to Diho Siam. There are way too many dishes on that menu calling my name, and I fully intend to answer. Consider this my official teaser...I'll be updating my Yelp Elite Squad review after my next visit, and trust me, people wait for those updates like they wait for a second date after a great first one. I might even give you an extra star and make it a Five-Star review! Wink! wink! Stay tuned, because this place has officially earned a spot on my "must‑return" list. And don't forget to give me a thumbs up or a heart if you like my reviews and follow me!

The Eggplant tasted like they had emptied an entire salt shaker into it and was inedible. Our server, for lack of a better word, Isabel, was extremely rude and inattentive the entire time. Isabel thought it would be a good idea to focus on the other tables while basically ignoring ours. The worst part was at the end of the meal after I had requested she take the charge off the bill for the horrible food. Isabel begrudgingly agreed to take it off with not as much as any type of apology. It then took her probably 10 minutes to return after gleefully chatting with other tables and walking by us maybe 4-5 times without making eye contact. Once Isabel produced her handheld POS terminal and asked me how I would be paying, I called her out on the lack of courtesy and basic manners. I asked her if she'd be apologizing for the lousy food and she literally said "No, it's not my fault." All the time she had this maniacal grin on her face that was not only out of place but a little on the psychotic side. Isabel kept glaring at me every time she walked by as if to say I don't owe you a thing and there's nothing you can do about it. After speaking with the manager (Shu) I understand how Isabel has this attitude. He was oblivious to the lack of decency and common sense displayed. He just kept repeating the fact that they had removed it from the bill without the least bit of remorse. All this time I was speaking with Shu, Isabel kept walking around with this crazed grin on her face to hear what we were discussing. I've honestly never experienced any server like her in my entire life. The best Shu could do was to tell me the next time I came in they'd seat me with another server. The next time? This speaks to the oblivious nature of the employees at China Moon. He actually thought that after that, I would be returning. Isabel was the weirdest server I've literally ever had in my life and it was clear at the end that Shu didn't have a clue about customer service or the dining experience. I would avoid this place at all costs unless you enjoy being treated like garbage by people that don't have any clue what service is.
