My husband and I love Thai food. He wanted to try somewhere new and found this on Yelp. We came here with friends in the late afternoon. We ordered from the dinner special menu and let me tell you, we were not disappointed. You get an appetizer, a soup, your meal with salad and a slice of watermelon, fresh strawberries and free tea. It was a huge amount of food! The thai iced tea had really great flavor. It wasn't too sugary sweet, which I liked. I had the egg roll appetizer, which were really good. The sauce they served it with was a sweet and sour I think and really good. I had the Tom Ka soup and it was so good. I could seriously have eaten a bowl of that alone and been happy! For my meal I had the mushroom and baby corn stir fry with shrimp and brown rice. The rice was just okay but the veggies and shrimp were really good. Before the strawberries came we ordered the mango sticky rice and it was soooo good. The mango was fresh, the rice was warm, sticky and gooey! I think I paid maybe $15 or $16 for my meal but the amount of good food was worth it. The service was great too. Our waitress was so kind and then who I would guess is the store owner made her rounds to make sure we were enjoying everything. We'll be adding this to our list of places to come back, for sure. read more

Thai Corner is a gem in Lake Forest. My boyfriend and I have been searching for an excellent Thai restaurant in the area and haven't found anything until now. This place seems to be busy on weekends but we were lucky to snag a table before the rush. The food seems to be made fresh (even the soups) and with the restaurant being busy be prepared to wait a little bit for your food. Don't worry, your patience will be rewarded! On our first visit we tried the Tom Kah Gai. This creamy coconut milk based soup with chicken and mushrooms was delicious and will certainly be on our list of favorites. It is so creamy and flavorful. The only problem is that the spoon is too big for the bowl (you'll see if you order) so it is tricky to serve. Even so, this dish is worth it. The second dish, Pad See Ew, was a bit disappointing and is something we have really enjoyed at other restaurants. It was really sweet and not very flavorful compared to the other places we've tried this dish. Maybe it was an off day for the chef but we probably won't be ordering it again. We also did not notice that there was an up-charge for certain meats (chicken, pork, and tofu are the standard choices while beef and shrimp cost more). We ordered the beef and the waitress did not mention the up-charge and got so little meat, we didn't feel like it was worth it. The final dish we ordered was the Crying Tiger. This dish was well executed and incredibly tasty. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who eats here and will be returning to the restaurant for this and the Tom Kah Gai. Fair warning to those who cannot handle spicy (I can only tolerate a little hear), this dish is not too spicy while eating it, but I felt it the whole way home. The heat was worth the flavor of the dish though. Overall, Thai Corner seems to be our new local go-to Thai place but I will drive further if I'm craving Pad See Ew. read more

Ok I don't have pictures to prove, but surprisingly I'm impressed by the quality. Came here late close to closing time. Bit skeptical as there are no folks in line; however it is close to closing time when we arrived. Despite of that, we ordered some pad Thai and Tom yum soup. The food was quickly made and got it to go. We ate it outside as we we're starving. We're super impressed that the taste, quality and quantity were excellent. They gave so much shrimp which I love! And the spices and quality were on point and authentic. I love finding places like this and surely deserves to be recognized. I now know where to go for a really great Thai food! Keeping this on my fav list. read more

Great service and the food is delicious. If you are in the area stop by for a good meal!!

Tonight we had the papaya salad and the 13.95 dinner combo (see pictures for menu options). For the combo, we chose the thai iced tea, tom yum chicken, chicken satay, and the pad kee mow. All were very delicious. The thai iced tea was extremely flavored, but not overly sweet. The tom yum soup was perfectly sour and spicy, and had ample amounts of chicken. The chicken satay with peanut sauce was also tasty. I was most impressed by the pad kee mow. The beef was so tender and flavored just perfectly. It came with a side of shredded salad, which was a perfect cooling foil to the spicy and flavorful beef. The papaya salad was tasty, though I noticed they used a lot of "filler" stuff, such as, carrot, nuts, and lettuce. We got this 8/10 spiciness, and it was pretty spicy! My only gripe was that the service was a bit slow. This was understandable, however, due to only having one waiter, and a full house. Please see pictures for all the dishes I mentioned above! read more

I love this place! It's closer to me than Tasty Thai, has great dinner specials, and everything tastes freshly made and is all seasoned well. I'll take one star off though because they don't deliver, and because they put raw white button mushrooms in their tom kha. I don't mind mushrooms other than traditional straw mushrooms necessarily, but putting them in raw is weird. Seems like this is a growing trend among Thai places, and I don't like it. Anyway, price vs. quality is about as good as you can get for this area, so highly recommended. read more

My crying tiger dish is not on because I could not stop to take a phone it was very yummy hot soup to start and hot tea very good food and services I recommend them anytime read more

Thai Corner makes the best Yellow Curry with chicken that I've ever had...it's especially good with their brown rice. Our whole family loves this place read more

Always good food and friendly staff. I enjoy their pad see ew and they actually have good salted fish rice. Always enjoy going here

The flavor is really good. It's just the sanitary standard is questionable. I eat their lunch special on average 3 times a week since my move to lake forest two months prior. I have discovered hairs in the food on two separate occasions by now. Im planning to still eat there from time to time, and will leave additional reviews if I find hair in the food. read more

Place looks nice and service was good. Pad say yu was good. Pad Thai was just ok. Below average taste really. Panang beef was watery with super thin beef. Tom ka gai was good. Sticky rice and mango was excellent. So it's a mixed bag. Deal breaker was everything was served in to go containers for dine in. Plastic spoon and fork and paper plate to save money. I'll save my money to go somewhere else. read more

Excellent food and very good portions at a reasonable prices. I'm so glad I found this Thai gem locally. read more

Great food! Great prices! We found the restaurant on Yelp.... Went there for lunch. Lunch specials are amazing! Soup, salad, egg roll, rice, entree and a free Thai iced coffee or Thai iced tea! read more

Nope. Noodles are over cooked. Pad Thai isn't good. The tofu vegetable fried rice was inedible and didn't have any tofu. The place smells like sewage, but the woman working was super nice. read more

I dine there with my family so often. My two boys loves the food. They have different spicy levels and the food taste real good. We love the Chicken Satay. Also Lemon grass soup with chicken is delicious and hot. This is a small and family owned place with a courteous staff. recommend to anyone who loves Thai food. read more

I came here by accident, but after I finished eating, I'm not mad. I tried to go to another Thai restaurant in Lake Forest, but got the name confused with this one. I tried the chicken Pad Thai, crying tiger and some Tom Yum soup. The portions are generous so come with an empty stomach. The Pad Thai was a bit on the wet side, but I personally am okay with it. I chose #5 spiciness and it wasn't over powering. I usually get medium at other places and 5 was a good spice. Flavors were there and was definitely happy about the dish. The crying tiger was also a 5 spiciness but it wasn't spicy at all. Wished I got a 7 or more. Be sure to get the ala carte version, because it comes with a side of rice. Beef was tender and flavorful though. Tom Yum was pretty good, but wanted it more spiciness. It had a nice sour taste to it. Overall ow as happy I stumbled into this place. read more

What does 10 years of loyalty get you from the unimaginably obtuse staff here? Attitude and static. They butchered my order tonight, and when I called about the chick literally told me I was wrong. Excuse me? I'm looking at my order, and you have the audacity to tell me I'm wrong? I know what I ordered, and I've been eating it for a decade. Do you really think I don't know what I'm looking at. Get a clue ladies. Treat your customers with more respect. You just lost $200-$400 a month in business. read more

Love their egg rolls and green curry. So easy to call ahead and pick up. They have an efficient set up where you just pick up at the door and don't have to enter. read more

This place is not bad but it's not my favorite either. This review is based on the pineapple curry and the Thai orange chicken. The Orange chicken had a lot of fat on it and was lacking in flavor and spice. The pineapple curry was not as thick as it's suppose to be and only had a few pieces of shrimp and pineapple in it. It did however have a good flavor to it. The owner was also nice enough to check up on us multiple times throughout our meal. Finally, the prices are on the expensive side. For example the pineapple curry was $14. A little steeper than I am willing to pay for Thai food in lake forest. read more

The food was bland,not much chicken or shrimp the noodles were sticking together. For the price for such a little amount of food.I will not be back.The staff was not that friendly. read more

The meat was hard to eat, pad Thai was ok. Curry was ok and the veggie was not really cooked

This was complete trash , I paid $48 for a seafood fried rice ( was only 4 shrimps with tails still on) and catfish which was filled to the top with terrible Vegetables covering super small catfish (very many bones) would never go here again, they need there ass whooped for this BS! Really 0 stars read more

I've always came here for my to-go order because of the location convenience. Service is usually pretty nice; the younger gal that works here is super nice, but the old lady comes off a bit rude (maybe because she does not speak English well). Food has never disappointed. I absolutely love the fact that they use Chinese broccoli in their Pad See Ew instead of regular broccoli. The yellow curry and the Tom yum/kha soups are on point. It's a pretty solid choice for a lunch/dinner spot, lots of good specials. Prices are a bit on the high side, but it's worth it for the quality of food they provide! read more

Great service, ordered the beef panang curry lunch special and was stoked on the free Thai tea and the side of rice and salad. Everything was good, would definitely hit it again. read more

I came here for some lunch, and although the menu was somewhat limited in terms of Thai food, I found some food I wanted. I really wanted some Thai tea but they didn't have it, and they also don't have fresh spring rolls. In any case, I got a tom yum soup with shrimp and I asked for pad kee mao even though it wasn't on the menu. She told me they only have one type of noodle (the thin ones they use for making pad thai). I got pad kee mao with tofu and vegetables, and it was tasty. The tom yum soup came first, and there were five shrimps in the soup as well as a lot of mushrooms. The flavor was sour and spicy, and I really enjoyed the soup. The pad kee mao had a lot of vegetables and tofu, but it seemed a bit unbalanced with the amount of noodles which were lacking. It was spicy but not overly spicy, and the noodles themselves were chewy. Both of these items came to be around 20 euros, which is definitely expensive for the amount of food. Service was lacking, and the restaurant was empty the entire time I was there. read more

sweetest little ladies that work here!! Always so cute with high energy. The food is really good too and they got me hooked on their Thai drinks. Definitely hits the spot :) read more

Had food here a few times now. It seems like crying tiger is a hit or miss. My first time it was good but the second time the meat was so dry and sweet. Other items I had were salted fish fried rice, pad Thai, calamari, green curry, yellow curry, papaya salad. These weren't bad or crazy excellent but I think it is a bit pricey. Maybe that's how they give free thai tea or maybe that Lake Forest prices. read more

This place is great! the thai food is fantastic and is really good to me. I use to go to garden grove and westmin to get my asian food fix out but when it comes to thai food this place does not disappoint! Great portion sizes and the workers are very welcoming and polite! For anyone bashing on the ambiance go to P.F changs and enjoy your 25$ orange chicken...... read more

Thoroughly mediocre. We had the lunch satay chicken and garlic chicken. Both dishes were bland. The regular ice tea had absolutely no flavor which was weird because it was tea colored. The Thai iced coffee tasted like liquid sugar. All the dishes used the most basic vegetables - cabbage, ice burg lettuce, and diced cucumber. I will say though, that the tiny portion of soup was very tasty. The food was edible but was like it had been prepared by a diner cook from the 50's trying for something "exotic". The meal felt pricey for what it was. Can't say I'm inspired to ever come back. read more

So, I just had lunch here and it inspired my first Yelp review! Unfortunately...it's not a good one. My family and I used to eat here all the time, very good food at a very good price. However, over time, the portions seemed to get a little smaller, but it was not a deal breaker and we continued to go to Thai Corner on occasion. Well, a few weeks ago, my mother and I decided to get lunch. We got there at about 10 minutes to 3 and the waitress told us they were closed. No biggie, we went somewhere else. Today, we thought we hadn't been there in a while, let's go to Thai Corner! It was only 2:30, so we could make it in time for a quick lunch. The moment we got there, the waitress said "take out?". No, we wanted to dine in. She seemed reluctant, but told us we could sit if we hurried. After waiting for some take out orders, she finally took our order. As regular patrons know, the lunch special comes with soup. Well not for us today, a few minutes after we ordered the waitress told us "bad news, no soup because we are closing". No offer to reduce the price, no offer for extra portions. In fact, she continued to hurry us. I debated giving them 1 star, but the food we did get was not bad, so they get a star for that. Apparently, they just have really bad customer service now. Two big customer service tips for Thai Corner: 1) if you want to be closed by 3, just change your closing time to 2:30 and be cool with people staying til 3. 2) if you can't offer something that is typically included with the lunch menu, make some attempt to rectify the situation. If they did these things, I would have offered 4 stars. Now, I don't ever want to go back. read more

This place is OKAY. Nothing really terrible about it, just a typical Thai food restaurant. I got the mussaman curry with chicken and pad see ew. I typically order those two dishes when I go out for Thai and they were good. The mussaman had way too many raw onions, not sure if they were in a rush cooking it or what. Otherwise everything else tasted fine. I'd come back here again if I ever had a Thai craving. My husband and I did really like the pad see ew, it was a larger portion than other places I've gone to. Plus is that they weren't super busy so we were seated and served quite quickly. read more

The best Thai food in Irvine so far!! I've been searching for a place that makes a legit tom yum soup and I have finally found it! The owner is a small Thai grandma and you can tell she's proud of her food. And she should be! The spicy noodle soup she recommended to me was amaaazing!!! The pad Thai was also very tasty. The kids gobbled that up! Even tho it's a very basic Thai dish, not many Thai places make it as good as this place. Plenty of flavor and very large portions too! If you're looking for some truly authentic Thai flavors, this is the place to go! SoOoooOoo good! read more

Found this place through Yelp and it was definitely a great choice! The staff was friendly and service is quick. We made a reservation, so we were seated right away. It's a lot of seats in a small, open area. They have a wide variety of options on the menu. Even though a lot of them are spicy, they have many tasty, mild options. We ordered gyoza, orange chicken, yellow curry with tofu, and pad sewwe with chicken. The gyoza was yummy, but the orange chicken was a miss-it was hard to chew and kind of dry. The curry was awesome, and I loved the pad sewwe. It had egg, wide flat noodles, broccoli, and the "special black sauce". I did think the curry bowl was small for the price ($10.95), but other than that, the portion sizes were fine. read more

Just had a picnic at Rimgate Park with my hubs after getting our food from Thai Corner...thai iced tea, Rad Nah with Shrimp and Choo Chee Curry with salmon. It was amazing! Tender salmon, well cooked shrimp, flavorful, lots of veggies! We will definitely make this our regular Thai spot! Thank you! read more

Amazing amazing food. Legit homemade food with recipes handed down (we talked to the owners mom!!!). My family has been coming here for the past three years and nothing else compares. Service is always spot on and they try to get your food out to you as quickly as they can. I always recommend this place to people looking for a new place to try. read more

So now they don't have orange chicken lunch special? Coincidence? Time to look for a new Thai place.

Randomly tried this place and it is a new favorite! Orange chicken, yellow curry is a must!

I've seen restaurants whose quality and quantity goes down during this pandemic, which I guess could be understandable. But not Thai Corner. I was impressed today by the generous portion they provide with take out, and the quality is as good as it gets with Thai food. I highly encourage others to support them during this time and continue enjoying their Thai food. Btw, they have a safe setup where you pay and pick up food at the entrance door area, instead of going in. I definitely felt safe. Keep up the good work. Thank you. read more
