    (L) Spicy Eggplant Tofu
    Stephanie A.

    I come in for a quick lunch fix when I can after my busy day. I have to appreciate the lunch specials and the friendly service. Every time I have come here everyone is so kind and attentive. So I recently had the spicy basil tofu eggplant (I had it spicy) omg I fell in love. So delicious.. for me it beat out the curry I love. Thank you for always providing a delicious lunch! Thanks for making lunch so tasty and a quick experience.

    (L) Kra Pao Crispy Pork Belly

    Found this place while browsing Yelp for lunch specials and decided to give it a try. They have a pretty diverse lunch special menu with everything from rice dishes to soups and noodle dishes, so there are lots of options to choose from. I ordered the kra pao crispy pork belly. The portion was generous and a good value for the price. It was a solid meal, though nothing that really stood out to me. The restaurant has plenty of seating, a private parking lot, and the servers were friendly. We came on a Saturday afternoon, and it wasn't too busy, so it made for a relaxed lunch. Overall, a decent spot if you're looking for an affordable Thai lunch. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back, but I'd stop in again if I happened to be in the area.

    We came on a Saturday for a late lunch and were surprised how they offer lunch specials even on weekends. Their food is very well priced and the portions are fair. My favorite dish was the Sweet and Sour Fish, it very good with the rice. They have indoor and outdoor seating, the AC was blasting on a warm day. ig: @cravingswithcat

    Very awesome vibe

    I arrived at the restaurant 10 minutes before opening and noticed the receptionist cleaning the glass and wiping the outdoor patio getting things ready for customers. She was friendly and waved from the inside. Once I came in, I seated at the outdoor patio where I requested. I was greeted by the waitress, who took my order in a great timely manner, and enjoyed the beautiful ambience of the outdoor patio while I waited for my food. The Thai tea was absolutely delicious. My food was extremely fresh and cooked perfectly. I enjoyed my afternoon in the beautiful environment and friendly staff. Thank you for having me and I'll be back soon.

    It has been years since I've been to Thai Dishes Manhattan Beach but today I made it back to this spot. I've always been a fan of their lunch specials and I was curious to see how it is years later. Their lunch specials now is what they call "Street Food Lunch." They've got 20 different items for $15.95 to choose from and each dish comes with their house salad with sesame dressing. This lunch special is served until 2pm daily. I was impressed with the variety that the Street Food Lunch menu offered. I love how they had some classic favorites as well as unique dishes that aren't commonly found. They had House Noodle Soup, Ba Mee Hung, BBQ Roasted Duck, Mint Leaves with Ground Chicken, Cashew Nut Chicken, Kao Pao Crispy Pork Belly, Chinese Broccoli with Crispy Pork Belly, Pad Thai Noodles with Shrimp and Chicken, Ba Raan Noodle Soup, Kao Soi Chicken, Mixed Vegetable, Garlic Pepper Pork, Spicy Eggplant Tofu, Spicy Fried Rice Chicken, Tom Yum Kai Noodle Soup, Pad Kee Mow Chicken, Pad See You Noodle with Beef and Chinese Broccoli, Kang Karee Chicken, Kang Pad Beef and Green Curry Shrimp. Certain dishes you could substitute protein for an extra $1 or add egg for $2. I was actually pleasantly surprised that several of the dishes already included egg. It was hard to choose from the good variety of items but my friend and I chose to get their Chinese Broccoli with Crispy Pork Belly and their Kao Soi Chicken. The Kao Soi Chicken was beautifully plated. It came with a tall stand of fried egg noodles on top of coconut curry broth with chicken, egg noodle, onions and pickled package. The Chinese Broccoli with Crispy Pork Belly came with lots of pork belly with stir fried Chinese Broccoli and sides of white rice and fried egg. Both dishes were delicious! I loved the creamy, rich coconut curry curry broth from the Kao Soi Noodle. There was lots of tender chicken in the soup and it paired well with the egg noodles I also tried my friend's dish and appreciated the crisp pork belly and flavorful Chinese Broccoli. The Thai flavors were on point! I definitely want to come back and try more of their Thai Street Food. I enjoyed lunch here very much. Not only were the entrees flavorful, they were also large in size. I even had enough for dinner. I am excited to try their other dishes like the Tom Yum Kai Noodle Soup and the Kang Karee Chicken.

    Consistently tasty thai food. The chicken ginger salad which is a version of nam sod was great as was the angel wings.

    Unfortunately, one of the least palatable Thai food places I've eaten. I was so excited to try it as I saw some good ratings. I LOVE pad see ew ("Pad See You") and I've always thought this dish, while not easy to master, as difficult to mess up -- I was wrong. Additionally the vegetable egg rolls were tasteless. I don't know, but key Thai flavors were missing to me. Two stars simply for flavor. It was very Manhattan Beach Thai food.

    Fish cakes were good
    Irene Q.

    Food was good. I would come back for green mango salad for sure! Gave 4 stars bcuz they messed up on my to-go order but they said they would credit me for my next visit. I'll update here when I come back. Loved the ambiance

    (L) Green Curry Shrimp
    Chrissy L.

    The Green Curry Shrimp and Bo Raan Noodle Soup were excellent. Both are comforting and vibrant dishes with just the right amount of spice. Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Coffee were great too.

    The customer service and hospitality at this place seriously could use some work. We ordered the Crying Tiger with white rice, water, and coke. It was disgusting as the crying tiger had bugs crawling on the plate and we informed the waiter. Additionally the meat was grey in color. There was no apology from the staff nor anyone trying to actively resolve our experience. They made us pay for the rice and coke ‍ A total of $8 for bugs on your plate I guess, I reallly could not fathom being charged when your plates come with live insects crawling all over. Never ever ever had an experience like this. Please train your staff to do better in situations like this.

    (L) Pad See You with Beef & Chinese Broccoli
    Stefan C.

    I've been going to this place for over 14 years. I tried their Pad Thai early on and was not impressed. Yesterday, I decided to give it another chance in hopes they improved their recipe. It turns out that they did! I remember it being dry and tasteless (which explains that nearly 14 years of avoiding it). This one, as my picture shows, had flavor and came with a generous portion as part of their lunch special. I'm not sure I'd get this regularly because their other dishes (especially their Pad See Ew) are more my style, but I'm glad I can come here whenever I'm looking for some good Pad Thai in the area.

    If you're looking for delicious and affordable Thai cuisine, Thai Dishes is a fantastic choice. We stopped by for lunch on a weekday, and the place was bustling--always a good sign! The easiest way to navigate the menu was through their Street Food Lunch Specials, which offer a variety of classic Thai dishes. I opted for the Kra Pao Crispy Pork Belly, which came served over rice with a fried egg. The crispy pork belly paired perfectly with the bold, spicy garlic sauce, and the mix of onions, bell peppers, green beans, and Thai basil gave it a fresh and flavorful kick. My friend went for the Spicy Fried Rice with Chicken, which had just the right amount of heat and was packed with great texture and taste. This place continues to be a favorite hang out place for the nearby office crowd. I plan to try some of the drinks on the menu next time.

    Came for an early dinner on a Saturday and had a pleasant experience. We were seated upon arrival and enjoyed their outdoor seating. It was a tad bit chilly, but they do have heat lamps. Good menu selection and flavorful food. They were also very attentive and made sure to check in with us during our meal. I ordered shrimp pad thai - very flavorful, extra saucy, and was delicious. A tad bit overpriced for the amount of food that you get, but still enjoyed our meal.

    Does the stir fried dishes come with rice or do I have to order a side of rice separately?

    Does their out door eating have heaters?

    I didn’t see any heaters on the patio when I last visited.

    TLDR: A good stop for sweets that you know the locals love and support. I've been here a few times,…read moreand I'm yet to try a flavor that I don't like. Hand packed quart: I love that this is $15/16. In a world where pints are edging closer to $13, it's nice to still know a place that rewards you when buying more from them. I like how the ice cream looks soft enough off the scooping area that the person hand packing the quart can do it relatively quickly. Chocolate: I think it's above average, but I won't question it if you think that it's just fine. Chocolate for me has always been about finding that line of "not too sweet" and finding that hint of bitterness to get you down from that sugary high. I feel that this place finds that balance well. Ambiance: The place is dated, borderline vintage. I think they should lean into it, and I think they do. Service: Professional, quick, and what you want when buying dessert. Yes, there is a line, but it runs pretty quickly.

They have everything from ice…read morecream, malts & milkshakes to cheesecake pops, chocolate covered bananas, and plenty other sweet treats. Service was good. The young lady helping us was very patient while we tried to narrow down our ice choices. She gave recommendations and let us sample a few different flavors. Unfortunately, it didn't hit the spot. They have tons of flavors to choose from, but the ones I sampled weren't really to my liking. I decided to make an ice cream sandwich with two chocolate chip cookies and banana chip ice cream. Cute spot with lots of options, but the ice cream itself was a miss for me this time.

    IMO Sidecar has the best fancy doughnuts in the South Bay. If you can't decide what to try, here…read moreare my recommendations. Huckelberry is a bit tangy and fruity. If you like blueberry donuts, get this one. Butter & Salt is the perfect sweet+salty donut with a brown butter glaze. Maple Bacon is one of the few raised yeast donuts and the sweet+savory combo is the best! The Apple Fritter is really good, but only available on Fridays. I highly recommend trying at least one of their seasonal donuts too. They are very unique and delicious. What I recently discovered is that their coffee is quite good and reasonably priced for the Manhattan Beach area. If you still can't decide what to purchase, the staff is always very nice and helpful. They always seem to be in a really good mood. The donuts are presented in nice, branded boxes if you purchase 3 or more. The store is located in the Manhattan Village, right near the entrance, so there is plenty of parking. Definitely check it out!

The flavors are great and really unique which i like. They have a seasonal weekly flavor and the service is always nice. It has plenty of parking and there's seating on the inside. I also really like how there are samples if you go in the morning which has persuaded me to try some new flavors I wouldn't have gotten. Yes its a bit pricey, but definitely worth it as the taste is amazing. My only feedback is on Too Good to Go orders. PLEASE allow there to be a separate non-meat/vegetarian option. Since if you order through the app, sometimes they may have a maple bacon donut which I don't eat meat so anything that donut is touching I also throw out which is a waste.
