Authentic delicious Thai food. We ordered the yellow curry, crying tiger salad, cream cheese wontons and tom kha kai soup. All the entrees were amazing! The staff were very attentive and we had a wonderful night! read more

I just love these little down to earth, casual, and inconspicuous family owned and run restaurants that serve very good food. My girlfriend lives in the area, been here before, and vouched very positively for the quality of the food and service. Great!......I'd never been here, and have always liked good Thai food, so decided to give it a shot. Located in a neighborhood shopping center, there is plenty of parking. Upon walking in, I was very impressed at how nice, warming, and charming the place is. We were immediately greeted by a nice Thai lady who invited us to sit anywhere we liked.....we came for an early dinner so the place was not busy, which meant we could enjoy our dinner in peace and quiet. They have an nice and extensive menu that offers vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.....nice. Taking a quick look through the menu, we found it difficult to decide on what to order....everything sounded so good, but we decided on the Thai Egg Rolls (vegetarian) served with a side of sweet and sour sauce, Tom Yum Kai (spicy and sour chicken lemongrass soup), Yellow Curry with Chicken, and the Pad Wood Sen (stir fried glass noodles) with Chicken. My only little complaint is that the chicken meat in the curry and noodle dish was a bit dry.....if they can just make it more tender, the dishes would be just perfect. The egg rolls were not oily and delicious.....we ordered the tom yum soup medium spicy and it came out very nice.....my girlfriend said it was slightly salty, but I thought it was fine.....the yellow curry was very good with perfect consistency of curry, fresh ingredients, and so full of wonderful flavor.......and the noodles, also perfectly cooked, yummy, and not salty at all. Overall, a very good dining experience here.....very good food, good and friendly service, and the owner even came out of the kitchen to check on and chat with guests to see how their food was. Will definitely be back. read more

Was visiting my uncle nearby and yelped this place! Plenty of parking, great service, and food came out quick! I love the decor on the walls, so gorgeous! The waitress was very nice, kept refilling our water, and checked in a lot! We got the tom yum soup, chicken skewers, pad Thai, papaya salad, and crab fried rice! Typically I'm picky with Thai food, things could be really salty or too sweet. This place has really good flavor!! Not too sweet and not too salty. My mom who doesn't like too salty really enjoyed the food!!! I would come back here :) Recommendations - Crab fried rice Chicken Satay/skewers read more

Delicious! Splurged on a Tai Tea. Wonderful eggplant, number 68, I think. Great flavor. Had the Tom. Jag Gai soup which was wonderful. It was creamy, bursting with flavor. Hubby had Pad Tai noodles. Also good and thankfully less sweet than many we have had before. read more

Honestly a hidden gem... Came for lunch, got a chicken pad Thai, it smelled so good I ended up eating in the car and not going back into the office!! Coming back again to try their crying tiger ! read more

This restaurant use to be great. But the quality of the food and cleanliness of the restaurant has went downhill. While we were eating there was a giant cockroach that flew onto our table... We literally got up and ran out of the restaurant. I was really embarrassed because I took my family there for the first time and for the food to be bad and on top of that there was flying cockroaches. Definitely will not be coming back.. read more

We were searching for a local Thai food place and decided to try this out! Food was SO good! We got Panang Curry, pineapple fried rice, pad Thai, pad see ew, yellow curry and mango rice! Everything was so good! Our waiter was very attentive! We would definitely go back! Atmosphere was good! read more

I have come here for so long i absolutely love this place! So sweet and kind people here.

Good Thai food a little more authentic than I was expecting. Staff was great. Very traditional decor.

Their lunch deals (from Monday to Friday until 3pm) are amazing! Where else are you going to find an entree, with salad, soup and choice of drink (Thai Iced Tea, Thai Iced Coffee or Iced Tea) for $8.95 to $10.95? I got #28 Crying Tiger (marinated grilled beef in special aromatic thai spices, served on top of lettuce and spicy lime sauce on the side) and it was amazing. I've never had anything like this before at other thai restaurants that I've been to, so I was pleasantly surprised. Side note: there is a lot of lettuce in this dish so if you don't want a salad, you should probably order something else. They were pretty busy during lunch time, so we got our waters towards the end of our meal but the free drink that comes with the meal makes up for that. read more

Sad to say my pad Thai was pretty dry and bland. I ordered it extra spicy and they finished with my order pretty quickly but I'm disappointed in the quality of food I received. I don't plan on returning read more

Hungry after moved and remember of Thai restaurant around the corner.. we used to like it and remember taste good, but what a disappointment. Order beef and oyster sauce.... really cabbage??? I never had beef with oyster sauce have cabbage inside, I don't know for stuffing to look fuller or suppose to be part of the veggies. On top of that doesn't have any taste at all we have to put lots of soy sauce to be able to eat them...... very disappointed. Used to be good may be difference cook now. read more

Thai Corner - Beef with oyster sauce ????? - Thai Near Me - Lake Forest, California

This is a small family owned business. The waitress was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. We ordered 6 dishes to share with a large group and they were all amazing. The only dish we thought wasn't our favorite was Pad Thai. Yes you will be served on paper plates with plastic utensils but ignore it because the food is delicious. read more

Thai corner is hands down my favorite Thai food in OC! I grew up in lake forest and this was always my go to spot. The restaurant staff are the nicest people, and especially now they're so appreciative of our business. They prepare the food amazing every time and so quickly. I live in Irvine now and I still drive down just to get Thai food from them. Their Tom ka gai soup is my favorite. The broth is so flavorful and yummy. I could honestly eat that forever and that alone can be filling. Other faves are the pad Thai and any of their curries. I always get the chicken green curry on top of their white rice and it's amazing. If you live in lake forest or surrounding areas I highly recommend Thai corner! They don't disappoint! read more

This place was so bad I thought I was being Punked! We sat down and were provided drinks in to-go cups with plastic lids. The fresh roll was a MESS. It looked like a 2 year old put it together. Tons of shredded lettuce and little else. All of the food was presented on PAPER PLATES. I ordered Pad Thai. The best way to describe it would be Chef Boyardee. It tasted like it came from a can. Beware folks, the great reviews can't be trusted. Honestly, I don't think I've ever had a dining experience this bad in my life. read more

Stay away! There is a reason they were empty at dinner time on Friday. 1. Sit down prices for take out quality dining experience. They served us in paper plates and styrofoam/plastic containers. Plastic forks and spoons. Seriously??!! For a sit down?! $57 before tip for 2 people (1 tea drink only). 2. Food was mediocre at best. Ordered Wanton soup, Pad Woon Sen, and an Eggplant dish. a) The Pad Woon Sen was the most tasteless Thai dish I've ever had. Very bland, no flavor. How is that even possible? b) The eggplant dish was supposed to be spicy (level 4). It was not at all. Zero spice! Instead, they included some hot/sour sauce on the side that my husband was supposed to mix with it to make it spicy. By the time it got to level 4, he had to add so much sauce that it made the dish very sour. That was gross. c) the wanton soup was tasty-ish but overcooked and Oh My God SALTY!!!!! There were noodle flakes all over the thing from being over cooked, the meat was dry and overcooked, and the soup was so salty, it was almost inedible! It felt like it had been cooking/sitting in the pot all day. 3. I asked for water with no ice, they brought a small styrofoam cup with warm water in it. Disgusting. 4. Service was really nice but the lady started cleaning while we were still eating. The strong smell of the floor cleaners did not go well with dinner at all. I know it was 10-15 mins before their closing time but that was not cool. Bottom line: Overpriced for what it is - sit down prices for plastic/paper "dining," mediocre, tasteless food, way too salty, and the cleaning while we were eating was not a nice touch. Go somewhere else. For this price, you can experience fine dining and better food at any of the other sit-down Thai restaurants in the area. We should have trusted our guts when we saw the place empty at dinner time on a Friday. It's empty for a reason. Never again. read more

I really like this local Thai restaurant, it's family-owned. The food is delicious. Are usually get the thick rice noodle, with beef. They have a good lunch special as well. Their Thai tea is perfect but it gets a little watery, so we never get ice with our drinks. They take Pride in their presentation, With a fancy orange slice. read more

The staff were all very friendly. The food was amazing. Everything tasted great. Only deduction is the portion. I ordered the drunken noodles. It came with plenty of meat and ingredients, but there was not that many noodles. The larb was excellent. So yummy, great with rice too. The menu and the bill was inaccurate. It cost extra for the beef and shrimp. That should be noted on the menu or communicated when you order. HAPPY THAIING!! read more

Unfortunate. Did not get to try the food. Walked in for dine in with 1 person in line in front of us. Placed an order for 2 lunch specials and chicken satay. We sat down and waited as the restaurant started to fill for lunch. They started placing to go order one after another on the counter. After waiting for 30 minutes, our lunch was ending. We walked up and asked where our food was. They looked around and could not find our order. After searching for a couple minutes, talking to the chef, some yelling in the kitchen, the server picks up a to go bag that had been sitting on the counter for 20 minutes and brings it over to our table. We said the food was cold and she said sorry and took the food back and we had to leave. We did not pay, but we were served our Thai iced tea which was really good. Hence... 2 stars. read more

We had take out Pad Thai, Crying Tiger and yellow chicken curry which all were delivered and devoured! Highly recommend this place!

Great Thai food. Some places they use too much oil but this place was on point. We went on Saturday night at 8 pm for dinner with friends but were told it was to go only, they were closing. Decor looks nice, next time we might try to go early so we can dine in. read more

I'm so GLAD this tiny Thai corner restaurant exists!! I LOVE Thai food (along with Japanese, Viet, and Mexican- Korean, Indian)--and would often drive to L.A. (Hollywood, in particular for Thai/Korean/Mexican)--this restaurant is legit. Their Pad Si Eu, Tiger Beef Salad, and Tom Young Goong make for a delicious complete meal. Especially here in South O.C. (a rarity), authentic Thai is hard to find. You'll find Thai restaurants w/a blend of Chinese, or another take on Thai (i.e., adding vinegar to Thai soup to save $$$ to cut corners). This place reminds me of restaurants in Hollywood's Thai town. The owner is so sweet!! And their mango sticky rice is Delish! read more

Their chicken pad Thai is delicious, and the portions are generous. It's more of a small hole in the wall than a sit down restaurant but I also like it because I can walk there. read more

And we have had multiple times where we purchased food for our whole extended family and nobody has ever complained! Top quality food every time! read more

Food is good. I liked it the first time, and I've been here 3x since. The plastic containers were kind of a sad way to serve food, but due to lack of ppl wanting to work they have to make do. Curry was not enough in portion size but really yummy. The pad see ew was good too. Will be coming here again. The restaurant was kind of empty with one other couple. Service was good. Decor is beautiful. read more

Honestly... I didn't exactly mind the food being served in to go containers and whatnot because the owner of the place was an older woman. I get the convenience of them for her as well as for the customers. The food here tasted wonderful and I was impressed with the spice levels because I feel like other restaurants with a focus in Asian cuisine often dull their dishes to fit western tastes. I would come back here again. THEIR THAI TEA IS SO YUMMYYYY read more

Food isn't good. They seem nice. But it's bland. The panang curry tastes just like the green curry.

Stumbled across this place in a quiet strip mall. AMAZING! The owner was super sweet and service was great. We got the massamun curry, tom kah goong soup, and pad kee mow. All were delicious! Want to go back to try other things on the menu. Love supporting local businesses! read more

Thai corner is; the place to come and have decent Thai food, the wait is short, food is always appetizing​. My favorite thing to order is their yellow curry chicken soup. At first, I was not so sure of all of the ingredients in the soup, but when I tasted the soup, it was shockingly delicious. So much so that I tried to make my own yellow curry chicken soup at home. I've been to the Elephant cafe and had their Yellow Curry chicken soup and wasn't fond of it as the Thai Corners. ​ read more

Thai Corner - Panang Curry and Chicken Yellow Curry Soups - Thai Near Me - Lake Forest, California

It is a small hidden gem. Service is friendly and good but they need more staff, some customers were waiting for the menu quite a while and one drink man got mad, and created quite a drama... Started with fried cream cheese wontons, they were crispy, and full of cream cheese! I liked they minimized the seasoning on the cheese, I could enjoy rich cream cheese filling! Tomyum soup was very flavorful and sour, I enjoyed the big chunks of plenty of veggies in the soup. Pad see ew, they use good beef, the meat is very tender and noodles were perfectly cooked, the soy sauce was not overwhelming, it was not oily. Orange chicken, I really liked its flavor in the sauce and the texture of fried chicken but the pieces were too small, I was eating more batter than meat. Nothing fancy, prices are pretty compatible, not necessarily cheaper, but overall food tasted good, ambience is clean, this little place will definitely satisfy my thai food craving. I especially liked their rice, they just cooked the rice right. read more

Server was nice. But food wasn't great and was given in to-go boxes when we dined in and soup wasn't in the metal bowl like shown. It's as if they were just saving time washing dishes. Definitely not a large size as ordered. read more

This place gets a five star rating from me for their incredible lunch special and the food quality is great as well. For about $8 you get soup, salad, an entree (I recommend the green curry chicken, the pad thai is excellent as well), a piece of fruit, a wonton, and free ice tea or ice coffee. It's a lot of food and it tastes great. read more

Excellent green or red curry. The soup with coconut milk is so delicious, any cold day that's all I want.

Great food and service! Get there before the lunch and dinner rush, because it gets BUSY!

I have been here 6 times for lunches and enjoyed it every time. Consistent quality and flavor. The Papaya Salad is top notch. Ginger stir fry and Green Curry dishes taste great! We ordered with chicken and share the portions. This is a family owned restaurant and recipes are like home cooking. Friendly server and family cooking in kitchen. I highly recommend Thai Corner, and look forward to it every time. read more

Excellent food. Have done take out and lunch done in. We love the lunch specials, although portion sizes have recently been reduced again.
