I love it when a Thai restaurant takes its time to decorate with whole Thai statues and decor. There's a great visual variety to look at, it's truly unlike its surrounding area. It makes it that much more immersive to the Thai experience you'll have going on in your mouth. Curry was amazing and the menu is updated enough where it doesn't try to resemble a fusion new age Thai but rather honors Thai recipes and has classic favorites. read more

We purchased a total of three plates two of them were 3/5 and the other was a 4/5 given the flavor and portion. Most, if not all the workers are rude and don't check in you. The place only had about 4 tables so it wasn't busy and still they had an attitude when placing our order we were rushed and also when picking up our dishes no excuse me nor did they ask do you need anything just workers with bad attitude. I'd truly like to know how they have so many good reviews. read more

We have been hearing great things about this place and decided to try last night. The place was busy, the staff was nice enough but everyone looked so stressed out and one tall guy dropped a whole plate of food on his way out of the kitchen. We ordered the beef salad. The dressing was good, the beef (large slices we had to ask for a knife) too chewy, and overall the salad was so salty we had to ask for the bow of rice to eat with the salad. The pad see ew was ok, we ordered with fried tofu and the tofu was old, as if it was reheated too much . And the sautéed egg plant was tasty but a bit funky when mixed with all sorts of veggies. We have been to many Thai restaurants in OC and LA and were a bit disappointed last night. read more

They definitely had a big menu and it was hard to choose what to get. We ended up ordering the drunken noodle with chicken & pineapple curry with beef. Don't get me wrong, there wasn't anything wrong with the drunken noodles but it kinda just okay to me. The pineapple curry was really delicious though! The flavors were just wow for lack of words. However, we were shocked that it didn't come with a bowl of rice instead we had to pay $3 for a bowl of rice.... I thought $3 for a small bowl of rice was a little bit excessive but oh wells. I'm not sure I would drive ALL the way out to LB to try this place but if you're in the area and craving thai I would come for their pineapple curry. read more

Thai District - Drunken Noodle and Pineapple Curry - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

One of my fave Thai restaurants when visiting Long Beach. Beautiful ambiance, great service, and food is amazing. I always order thai iced tea, pad see eew noodles, coconut milk soup with chicken (tom kha soup) and mango and sticky rice. The dessert is the best & rare to find mango and sticky rice at other Thai restaurants. The server also recommended to try the chicken larb salad, it was very good to try something new since I always order my usual Thai food favorites. Definitely a must visit! read more

(Lemongrass soup) Tom Yum Shrimp - medium Panang Curry, Chicken - medium Pad See Eew, Beef Side of white rice Thee best Thai food spot near us. Packed with a ton of flavor in all 3 dishes we usually get. I'd eat this everyday if I could. 2 story, nice Asian aesthetic. Always packed so make a reservation to get seated faster. Service is great. Restrooms are upstairs. You know you'll have a good experience knowing that the owners are there. We've seen them each time we went. read more

Our favorite Thai food in SoCal. Usually we get takeout. We were lucky enough to dine in a few times though.

Overall good experience. I tried their beef noodle soup, asking for extra spicy. While it wasn't as spicy as I'd hoped, the soup had unique flavors and a rich, delicious broth. The meat was tender and flavorful, earning it a solid 4/5. My friend ordered the wings and rated them 3/5. They were decent but not extraordinary. The Thai iced tea was refreshing but slightly watered down. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and a nicely decorated interior, making it an enjoyable dining experience overall. read more

Ambiance is 5/5. The restaurant is dim lit especially the second floor. We ate outside in their dining patio. There is much more space outside. We ordered gai lan with pork belly (4/5), pineapple friend rice was (5/5), the tiger steak (3/5) and their chicken wings were (3/5). I think the best dish we tried was the pineapple fried rice. It was very delicious, savory with a hint of sweet from the pineapple and golden raisins. That dish is something worth returning for. The gai lan was seasoned well and tasted delicious, some of the pork was too hard to chew. The fried chicken wings were not all crispy. Some wings didn't have a crunch, but we enjoyed the seasoning. For our steak, there was a lot of pieces with tendon and lots of fat. The dipping sauce was okay- I wouldn't recommend this dish. Our servers were very nice. It's street parking/ metered parking. I'd recommend getting reservations ahead of time. read more

My friend girl and I dined for lunch w few days ago and while this place has delicious food their service is extremely SLOW and inconsistent and there was a stench near the host stand that was very off putting. This was my first time trying pineapple fried rice and it had raisins in it. The raisins were definitely odd but surprisingly took this spicy sweet dish to a new level. I highly recommend. The red curry chicken was pretty good as well. read more

The restaurant is very clean and quiet. It's kinda a small space, I recommend making reservations. We did however have to wait 15-20 minutes until after the time we reserved, but it was worth it. Food was great! It was my second time going here, I will be back to try more things! read more

Thai District - Yellow Curry with Chicken - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

The food was amazing here! I loved the panang curry with beef medium spicy. The drunken noodles have a great flavor. I enjoyed the mango sticky rice too and it has cool textures and colors. But the star of the show is the softshell crab curry. We got it to go and drive an hour and the soft shell crab was still crispy and amazing! I will definitely be back read more

Thanks to another quick Yelp Search we found this great Thai dining option. The restaurant on the ground floor is a bit cramped but they have made good use of narrow space they have. Menu had lot of options and we tried some of our routine Thai favs : 1) Pineapple Curry : This was great. Very Good .Bursting with awesome Thai flavor and hands down the best dish of the night for us ! 2) Lychee White Sangria : Not sure if this was a mistake or if this is how the drink tastes but it was Way too sweet ! Felt I was drinking lychee syrup , we had to send it back and restaurant was kind to swap this for another drink. We got a mule instead which was good. 3) Ground Chicken : This was another very good dish and came with Brown Rice and Egg. We loved it ! Our sweet cravings were maxxed out because of how sweet the lychee sangria was so couldn't try any of their desserts ;) This is a good spot and we will be back for sure ! read more

I ordered the spring rolls and the pad se ew for dinner. Honestly, I make better spring rolls at home. And I wasn't entirely impressed by the pad se ew. The shrimp was delicious but the entire dish lacked flavor. I like how they give you spicy tomato paste on the side to make it as spicy as you want. I would probably order from here again just to check it out because I do want to try their drunken noodles. read more

Not too many tables inside but I saw they also have outside seating. Friend ordered the pad Thai and I enjoyed it! I had the drunken noodle and it was great as well. I've also ordered takeout from this place a few times - decent portions. Satisfactory Thai food read more

My spot for meeting friends, lunch and dinner. It's an amazing place and the ambiance is solid. Service was great from beginning to end. The menu is fairly lengthy, I usually start with the Dumplings, wings and Pot stickers. Head directly into the Som Tum Papaya salad or the Thai District salad. I'm a sucker for their Honey Glazed Duck or the Chicken Pad Thai...it's my old faithful, the Penang & all of the Curries are a must! Please don't leave before trying the Mango & Sticky rice, Coconut Panna Cotta, their Churros and Tiramisu. read more

Had the best team lunch here, and it was an absolute hit! Scott took such good care of us. Thai District in Long Beach offers an incredible vibe with its welcoming, cozy atmosphere--perfect for a team gathering. The service was attentive and efficient, keeping everything moving at a perfect pace so we could relax and enjoy. I had the green curry, and it was exceptional! Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, it had just the right amount of heat and a balance of fresh veggies. Every bite was pure comfort and reminded me why Thai food is a favorite. My team was raving about their dishes too, from the pad Thai to the papaya salad; everyone left satisfied and smiling. Highly recommend Thai District for anyone looking for authentic Thai food and a memorable dining experience! Def bringing my wife back for date night. read more

We went on a weekend for dinner and it was pretty packed so reservations would probably be a good idea (otherwise we would have had to wait an hour to get seated). Loved the ambiance here! We sat on the second floor and had a great time:) the green curry and the pad see ew were my favs! The food was amazing! Oh also FYI- parking can be a bit tricky as it is street parking only. I went on a Sunday and the meters said it was free. read more

Thai District and Panvimarn have to be my two favorite Thai spots in Long Beach. Well, there are more but those two come to mind. Thai District is just amazing. From the drinks menu to the service, appetizers, and main menu, every item offered is delicious. I like going in the evening because of the lighting and feel of being inside. It does feel a bit smaller in size though. The Thai Iced Tea is very good and I'm always certain to get it each time I'm out there. Love it!!!!!! read more

On an outing in Long Beach, we found this place as the first option for Thai food close to us, so we decided to just go on a whim, no further research into the restaurant. Upon arrival, the decor alone sold me on the place, while outside was cold and windy, the interior gave off a comforting vibe and the decor was beautiful. The staff was friendly and quick, especially for a Sunday afternoon. While I was going to order a menu item I was familiar with, the first page of their menu listed their speciality items and I instead chose to order the drunken pork ragu noodles. This choice was excellent, as the pork pieces were juicy and tender while the vegetables were cooked but left with a good bite to them. The noodles and the sauce were also well cooked and together the dish was incredible. Not to mention the presentation of each dish was lovely and even the dishes themselves were noteworthy. Definitely adding to my list of favorites in Long Beach, parking was tricky but we ended up finding a small pay per hour lot just on the other side of the same block with less than a 5 minute walk. read more

Thai District was a fun eating experience. Located in Downtown Long Beach, Thai District has a downstairs and upstairs. When we arrived the downstairs looked small but once we went upstairs, there were more seats available. The ambient lighting is dimmed but makes for intimate dining but I'm sure it's more light up before it gets dark. For starters, We had their Thai crispy rolls and their T. D, Shishito Peppers. The rolls were so flavorful and the sauce was so good. The peppers were okay, a bit too dry for my liking but good nonetheless . For food, I ordered their garlic peppered chicken, a side of white rice, and their Tom Kha soup. Both dishes were delicious, however, I felt they were small portions. Now let's get to dessert! Everything sounded so good so we went with their coconut hot soufflé and their mango sticky rice. They did not disappoint. We will surely be coming back. Parking can be challenging as there is only street parking and with other restaurants and bars in the area, it can be hard to find a nearby spot. I recommend Thai District. Delicious food and a fun dining experience. read more

I ordered some takeout from Thai District while I was visiting Long Beach. I ordered ahead for kabocha curry with TD style tempeh, asked for them to make it not spicy, and a warm flourless chocolate lava cake. The curry was too salty, and they only provided a little bit of white rice as part of the dish. It thankfully wasn't spicy like I had requested, but I hope it was just unlucky that this one was so oversalted as it made it hard to appreciate the rest of the flavors. As for the cake, they put the matcha cream to the side which I appreciate because then you can control how you combine the cream with the rest of the cake. I liked the gooey part in the middle, not as much a fan of the calamansi confit since I don't really like most citrus. The matcha cream was great, though. If it wasn't for the curry being too salty, I would've rated this restaurant higher. read more

Thai District - Kabocha curry with TD style tempeh, warm flourless chocolate lava cake - Thai Near Me - Long Beach, California

Great ambiance, great service, and most importantly great, food. It was my first time going to a thai restaurant in long beach and it did not disappoint! When i go to a thai restaurant, my main goto is tom yum soup, pad see ew, and fried rice. That is exactly what i got and chose pineapple fried rice for the fried rice. Those dishes were all delicious. Pad see ew was cooked to perfection and the flavor was on point. The tom yum soup had a nice tanginess to it, just the way i like it. Best of all, the pineapple fried rice blew my mind away. This is a must try at this restaurant! Afterwards, i had to try their desserts and ended the night with it. Definitely would recommend it! The only issue i have with the place is the parking. It is tough to find any street parking so plan ahead! read more

My BF and I were starving for noodles after we picked up his bib for the Long Beach Marathon and with a quick Yelp search Thai District came up and decided to check it out. A few minutes away from the event expo, we were able to find and pay for street parking nearby and took a short stroll over. Upon entering, we were greeted and quickly seated. There were folks sitting outside on their small patio and some people inside. For drinks (not pictured) I had the lychee sangria and my BF had a Belgian strong dark ale called Rochefort 8 Trappist Ale. Both were delicious drinks to start with. For food, we ordered the Thai District wings for an appetizer and the BF ordered the Drunken noodles with crispy pork and I ordered the Kao soi noodles. The wings were 9/10 - they needed to be sauced up more because the sauce was so good! They were crunchy with tender meat. Drunken noodle 8/10 - My BF wanted more spice but went safe so he thinks it would've tasted better with more. I thought it was okay, the crispy pork belly being a plus but not amazing. Kao soi noodles 10/10 - I wanted to try something I hadn't tried before and this dish was very similar to other glass noodle dishes I've tried but not Filipino lol It was exactly what I was craving that day with pork and winter vegetables. It wasn't over seasoned and was very tasty. I'd definitely order it again. Overall, service was great and the food did not disappoint. There was someone always refilling our water cups and taking away our empty plates. I'd gladly revisit if I'm in the area again. read more

Liked the Pad Thai dish with vegetables. The noodles were thinner than what I'm used to, but I still liked them. Food tasted fresh. The chicken was very tender. Feels like a cozy place since this restaurant is small. More suitable for smaller groups. Parking was sort of difficult on a weekend and I had to circle around. read more

This place is gorgeous, and the food and service is absolutely amazing! Came here for a team dinner of 7 so thankfully got to try a bunch of dishes! We had vegans and vegetarians at the table, and there were so many tasty and friendly options. Spice level scale was really great, 1 being a slick kick and 4 being a good burn. Honestly everything we ordered was yummy! Started with appetizers: Shishito Pepper, Fresh Rolls, Brussel Sprouts, Crispy Veggie Rolls, Papaya Salad. The peanut sauce they serve is soo good! The brussel and peppers were the tables favs. Got to try a bunch of yummy entrees: duck, Soft Shell Crab Curry, Yellow Curry, fried rice, Drunken Noodles, Pad See Ew, eggplant. My personal favs were the curries and noodles! For dessert we got the apple pie, chocolate cake, mango sticky rice, and coconut panna cotta. Their take on mango sticky rice is different with purple rice, palm seeds, and ice cream. I loved the coconut panna cotta! Service was fast and staff were super friendly! They even wiped down our table after dinner before the dessert. Another great Thai food spot in Long Beach, definitely check it out! read more

The food was mediocre. We settled for outside seating, and there was only one waitress-- poor thing on a Saturday night. So, clearly the service was not great, and on top of that, the patio seating right in front of a dive bar is not a good look. The restaurant inside is beautiful. I would go back, but I would not choose patio seating, nor would I think it's worth waiting 45 minutes for my food to come out. read more

Found this place on Yelp while seeking Thai food in Long Beach. This is a cute little quaint place, not a lot of seating. The staff was super nice and friendly. I would have sat down to enjoy the ambience if I had time but I got my order to go. The shrimp Pad See Ew, spice level 2 was perfect. What does that mean, you ask? There was enough shrimp, the noodles were cooked perfect, a great balance of sweetness and nicely cooked vegetables. Spice level not too hot, in fact, I could have done a 3. The Iced Chai Tea was really good as well and both traveled quite nicely. If ever in the area I'd definitely come back. read more

Visited our friend all the way in the LBC and decided to try this place out. It was our first time here, but I will surely be back if I'm in the area. First off, the decor and ambiance of the place are great & the staff was welcoming straight off the bat. We ordered Thai tea, fresh coconut juice, & lychee sangrias; the papaya salad, tiger cry steak, pineapple fried rice, pad Thai, drunken noodle, Panang curry, eggplant; as well as 3 desserts to share: TD Style Tiramisu, mango & sticky rice, & coconut panna cotta. Had all these between us 4 ladies and a 2 year old! Lol All in all, we enjoyed the food and devoured the dishes! The faves were definitely the eggplant, pad Thai, and curry! Also love the service here. Glad we found this gem tonight! :) read more

We stopped here for dinner as a party of three. Originally they gave us a wait time of an hour but we stopped nearby for a drink to wait and received a message that our table was ready maybe only 20 minutes later. The restaurant is so cute! They have a small amount of outdoor seating and then tables downstairs and upstairs. It's definitely a great date spot! We ordered the golden bags and fresh rolls to start and they currently have a Yelp check in offer where you can get a free Thai Tea when you check in. The golden bags were nice and crispy with a flavorful filling. The fresh rolls are mostly lettuce, but in a good way- very fresh and great for summer. Their peanut sauce is also great, it's on the thicker side which I liked a lot. For our entrees I got the panang curry with tofu and my friends got the drunken noodles and pad Thai. I got to try a bite of each of theirs and both were delicious. I was very happy with my dish though and it was my favorite of the three. Their curry sauce is so flavorful. The server checked on us a few times and overall the experience was great. I would absolutely make a point to visit this spot again next time I visit the area. read more

MODERN THAI KITCHEN (4.5 stars) - FOOD: good - SERVICE: excellent - PRICE: fair - AMBIANCE: downtown'ish vibes I love Long Beach. It's underrated just like it's restaurants. Someone recommended this place to get dinner. It's popular amongst the residential downtown locals and after work business people - reservations are likely a must but walk-ins are also welcomed if there is availability. :: ORDERS :: LYCHEE WHITE SANGRIA ($7) - pink guava cordial, Sauvignon Blanc, fresh lychee. When you think lychee you automatically think super sweet, yes the drink was sweet but was easy to sip on. The pink guava cordial and Sauvignon Blanc were a great balance to easy the sweetness without taking it away. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAI DISTRICT WINGS ($9) - Kaffir chicken wings. Not for me. These wings were super saucy. I prefer my chicken wings dry with seasoning - I want to taste the crispy. I felt like this was their Thai version of a buffalo wing.. Asian zing to the sauce with a little bit of heat. FRESH GINGER ($14) - choice of protein (chicken), mushrooms, scallions, celery, sesame oil. No spicy. THIS WAS SO GOOD. I ordered this mainly for the "ginger" to help ease the crazy ocean adventure I partook the next day. Ginger helps with sea sickness. This dish had a ton of ginger and scallions - very flavorful and at times overpowering but eating it with rice help balance flavor. I've had many variations of this dish and will say their take was the best I've had. HIGHLY RECOMMEND :: SERVICE :: The staff were very kind and accommodating. Attentive but not overly attentive. JABA APPROVED. Until the next review... read more
