    (L) Tom Yum Kai Noodle Soup
    Stephanie A.

    Came in for a quick soup for this cold and this was the perfect place for it! Service was friendly and attentive. My Thai tea was perfect and so was my iced water. I got the Tom yum chicken noodle soup and it was a hearty serving it came with a side salad. Everything was yummy in both dishes,only down fall for me would be that I cannot request it spicy. Yes they give you chili paste, powder and pickled chili but none of it was spicy enough. That's just a personal preference but the soup alone was so flavorful and full of noodles and mushrooms. I could not have asked for more perfect serving of soup lol I appreciate the specials, a lovely place to dine in solo or with some friends.

    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.

    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.

    (L) Green Curry Shrimp

    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.

    Fish cakes were good

    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) 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.

    First time Here... great ambiance. Terrific food! Definitely coming back. One of the guys I'm our group hooked us up cause his girlfriend works here. So fun. Good bar list too.

    Overall, the food here is really good! The Kao soi was delicious! The egg noodle had a nice firm texture and soaked in the flavors of the curry broth. Also, the fried rice was flavorful and tasty. I love spice and spicynesss-wise it is not very spicy. Sadly, the pad Thai was lackluster. It was very light in flavor with little to no spice. Would not recommend it. Service here is great. Food came out in less than 10 minutes during lunch happy hour. Plenty of indoor seating as well. Parking is somewhat limited but nearby neighborhood parking is available.

    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.

    Manhattan Beach Creamery is an independent, local Manhattan Beach landmark worth a stop for anyone…read morevisiting the area - and multiple visits if they are to your taste. While I've been here a few times this is my first formal review. I came with my family one Sunday evening on a hot July day, bypassing several chains on the way, including the new(er) Salt and Straw across the street. The inside is packed to the brim with sweets, small toys, and people, much like a candy shop of old. After reaching the front of the winding line our family shared a Banana Split ($13) - three scoops of ice cream, a split banana, hot fudge, a single dry topping (we chose coconut), whipped cream, and a trio of cherries - about as classic as it comes. The ice cream was good but not exceptional. The chocolate and strawberry were fairly generic, but I liked the third scoop of banana foster ice cream which had a nice banana kick. I doubt this ice cream is home made. The complements and construction to the sundae were great, however, and the flavors came together well. As I would hope for a location like this, the staff are local youths who served with patience and passion. In cases throughout the store are several of their other specialties - ice cream cookie sandwiches, dipped frozen bananas, and more - inviting repeat visits. Prices are elevated but not crazy for such a trendy area, although I would say with the middling quality of the ice cream a couple dollars less would be fine. Overall, Manhattan Beach Creamery is a local landmark worth at least a single visit for anyone in the area. If you can get past the generic, if a little boring, ice cream flavor and rampant commodification of the interior, you'll find a classic ice cream parlor with great service and history. Is it worth a repeat visit? I leave that to you. Food: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 4/5

    I've been to this place many times -- every time I go to Manhattan Beach, I believe…read more Today, I tried the strawberry flavor. You can see the actual bird of strawberries in the ice cream scoop. And their scoops aren't tiny -- they are the full, overflowing scoop of ice cream. The staff is helpful and friendly. You can try some flavors before you decide what you want to get. Today, the inside was decorated for the World Cup 2026 fans, and there definitely were some global visitors, judging by the languages I overheard in the line while waiting for my turn.

    So, this is the new issue with Sidecar in Manhattan Beach this morning…read more... When you can't even get a dozen doughnuts from a doughnut shop to take to work, BEFORE work...there's some major operational failures that need to be remedied. I work at the airport and we're unable to get app based food deliveries. They can't even come into the airport. So, I usually order Sidecar on my way to work and have the driver meet me at the LAX Metro Transit Center, before hopping on the shuttle to my terminal. I placed an order for a DOZEN through Uber Eats at 6:35 a.m. And this is the message I get from Maya. I call the store and ask them to cancel it. 5 minutes later it's still not canceled, so I call back and BEG them "PLEASE CANCEL THE ORDER?!" and the young lady with such a bad attitude replies "We will cancel the order, don't worry about that." and I say "Can you cancel it while I'm on the phone?! I want to know it's been canceled!" Her smart ass reply was that "You're gonna have to wait, becauee there's no manager here, but you'll receive a notification when it's canceled" so I ask "You can't cancel an order without a manager?" and the girl says "No." then I ask "Can I have your name, please?" and with an audible grin on her face, she says "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...."and I said" OK! That's fine!" and hung up. Minutes later, the order was canceled. Sounds like Sidecar has some real superstars working at their Manhattan Beach store. Also, this was a delivery order and the fact that she even thought it was for pickup and casually says to wait an hour and a half before pickup at 7 in the morning incompetence and a total lack of consideration at its finest. It hurts, because I really do like Sidecar and have for about 3 years. I've introduced many to their doughnuts, but spending $60 on a dozen, just to get treated like you're a joke is abhorrent.
