I have ordered from this place on many occasions and and also have dined in the restaurant and this is the first time pad Thai only had five shrimp and the healthy fried rice was very oily and hardly any tofu in it! i'm quite disappointed as I paid $44 for these two dishes and I feel that they are not putting enough protein in the dishes. read more

Having driven by that unique building on Sepulveda countless times, I always thought, "I need to try that place someday." When I suggested one of our usual dinner spots, my wife said, "Hey, let's go to that Thai place you've been wanting to try." Well, reporting back. It's outstanding. From the dramatic Polynesian-inspired roofline and colorful glass panels that give the space an almost church-like feel to the warm, inviting interior, the place has a ton of character. But the real star is the food. Every dish was incredibly flavorful, perfectly prepared, and not the least bit greasy. Honestly, just delicious. The portions are generous too. We ordered three dishes and still came home with leftovers. The highlight of the evening was meeting Ben, whose parents opened the restaurant many years ago. His dad still comes in every morning to make the curry bases from scratch. That kind of family pride and dedication really shows in the food. What a delightful place. Five stars for the food, the atmosphere, and the service. We'll definitely be back. 5 stars! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

Summer was great ..! She has the best customer service ever - she recommended the pad Thai and the curry. The food is delicious.

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. read more

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. read more

Hubby had a hankering for Thai. I was still stuffed from lunch. So we went to this Thai place. Were warmly greeted and immediately seated. Ordered Thai ice tea and beef pad Thai. Hubby ordered Thai ice tea too (really?) and pork pad Thai. The tea was served quickly and it was really funny. My idea of ice tea apparently was different than the Thai ice tea provided. My husband had a puzzled look because it appeared we were served iced coffee. But tasting it proved it wasn't coffee. We both liked it, so that was great. Will have to remember this again. Pad Thai was good. My problem was that I wasn't hungry for the massive amount of food served. And even my husband couldn't finish half of his. So I told the server our not finishing wasn't a reflection of the food. Only that unfortunately we weren't able to finish. So note to self, don't eat out if you're full- even if you're traveling and will probably not be in the area again (sigh). Anyway, this place is worth visiting. We love Thai! read more

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. read more

Yes ... Just yes ... Authentic delicious Thai cuisine, clean organized restaurant. Great for lunch on the go as well. Highly recommend.

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. read more

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. read more

We dined at Thai Dishes MB during the Thanksgiving weekend. I love their food! We ordered the usual fares we'd order in other Thai restaurants in the LA area. Their Pad Thai was delicious. The sauce was great and generous, not skimpy unlike in other restaurants. Also the Sautéed Mix Vegetables was flavorful. It's highly recommended. We also ordered the Thai BBQ Chicken but were a bit disappointed. Although tender pieces of chicken, the color was overly dark that looked like they were overly marinated in sugar and soy sauce. They didn't quite look appetizing. But as l said, they were tender and good. Our wait lady, Summer, was very nice and attentive to our needs. She is the human factor that would make you come back next time. We love her personal touch to our dining experience. Also, we loved the ambience and modern decor. I give this restaurant a 4 star. read more

Went to lunch here with some family and I have no complaints! The food was delicious, we got the Chicken Pad See Ew, the Pad Kee Mow, and Thai Iced Tea, I was very tempted to get the Kang Ka-Ree but decided I'll try it next time. The chicken was so flavorful and shredded just the way I like it, not chunky like some other places. The service was great, our waitresses were super friendly and informative of the menu for us. The restaurant ambiance is pretty neat, too, as it feels a lot like a boat house. You'll get what I mean when you step inside and look up! I'm definitely excited to come back with family and try some other items! read more

My partner works nearby so he wanted to take us to a place he frequented with his co-workers. We ordered quite a lot like egg rolls, noodles, the crab fried rice, tom yum soup, etc. I can't remember all the dishes but I do remember the egg rolls was something my 8 yr old wanted but it was not the best egg rolls I had. The stuffing was vegetarian, I believe? I have been picky about egg rolls since I was young and 3 out of 4 times, they are not impressive. This included. Only my 8 yr old wanted to take the rest home. The highlight for all of us was definitely the crab fried rice with actual chunks of crab and a very deep-fried egg with the crispy sides on top. Delicious and highly recommended. The tom yum was delicious, the flat noodles a crowd favorite, etc. The design of the place reminded me of a church with the stained glass wall. I wonder if it was meant to be one back in the day. They had really good service and the place was packed for a Wednesday night. The servers were attentive with extra napkins, straws, etc. They also had a LOT of to-go orders. I can see all the thermal bags on the side. Quite busy for a weekday! read more

I really like Thai food and been by here several times, so I stopped in and tried it out. The ambience is nice but it's a small dining area with cramped aisles. Right off the bat, I had to knock a star off because the two parties sitting on either side of me, arrived after me and all received their meals before me. This doesn't happen to me often, so I was kind of surprised and whether intentional or not; it's a noteworthy faux pas. The eggrolls were too heavy on the batter(I prefer light and crispy)with almost all cabbage(I don't like cabbage)filling. My entree of fried fish was average. The extra brown rice I ordered was really good. Food 3 (weighted 3x) Service 2 Ambience location 4 Value 2 Overall rating: 3.3 Repeat visit: NO read more

The place is a small area off the side of PCH. The decor is nice and modern and I stopped in during happy hour. The service was a bit lackluster but friendly. I had a thai tea, the potstickers and spicy fried rice. The thai tea is just slightly too sweet for my taste and the tea was a bit weak but still good. As for the potsticker they were not overly greasy and were pretty light as far as potstickers go. They came with a pretty good sauce: slightly spicy and slightly sweet. As an appetizer, it was perfect for preping you for the main course since it didn't form a rock in my stomach. The fried rice was good, but boy when they say spicy they mean it. I ordered mine hot, and it whooped my butt. This thing is packed with pepper seeds and constantly sets fires wherever it lands. Be weary of the heat levels at this restaurant. All and all a commendable effort but nothing to write home about. The potstickers were good though. read more

Thai Dishes isn't the best Thai food I've had out there, but it does the trick when it comes to those cravings. Ordered takeout and I enjoyed the Thai fried rice (flavorful and with fried tofu). The ba-mee heng (dry egg noodles) could've used more garlic flavor and the pork was on the tough side, but still enjoyable. The egg rolls were quite thick (made from wonton wraps?), and I found the batter too thick and the veggies inside quite bland. Food was okay, and again, Thai Dishes will do the trick when it comes to craving Thai food! read more

One of my favorite Thai spots. At first, I didn't think much of it--but wow, the ambiance is cozy, and the food? Absolutely amazing. It genuinely left me speechless. When the Tom Yum soup arrived, I initially thought it might be a waste of money. But the flavors blew me away--it hit every corner of my mouth, warm and tangy, like a comforting hug in a bowl. I couldn't stop thinking about it. Then came the Pad Thai: full of flavor, with every noodle perfectly coated. The texture was soft, chewy, and just right. It's the kind of dish that makes you slow down and savor every bite. read more

Thai Dishes stands out as an establishment with consistently best taste and presentation in their variant selection of dishes, especially their weekly lunch menu (until 3PM) at $14.95 per dish. I have been a patron here for over ten years and the taste remains delicious and service pleasant. Presentation of the dishes deserves its own star recognition! Located right next to the Manhattan Beach USPS post office (look for the American ), parking is free on their lot. Seatings do fill up for lunch so earlier arrival will ensure likely a no-wait seating. Ambiance is quaint and good for casual dining as well as for a special occasion, there are booth seatings as well as wall window seatings available. Lunch portions are dinner-sized and ample to split into two meals! Had repeat visitors with me and a to-go Thai restaurant among my friends, definitely will be back again! read more
