This is our place. It takes about 4 and a half steps to get to the pier and the service is nice and the food... is Thai food. In SoCal. So enough said. (its hecking good) "We went there for my birthday" - my girlfriend read more

Here today with family to enjoy dinner. I've never been to this restaurant before, but thought we would give it a try. First of all, the pad Thai was exceptional. The loaded fried rice was very good. Need a little more flavor, in my opinion. We also got the drunken noodles. It was a medium spice and it was a little bit spicy. Very tasty though. Spring rolls were also quite tasty. Although the sauce wasn't a peanut sauce, instead, it was a sweet chili sauce with peanuts on top. The barbecue chicken was a little on the dry side, but tasty still if you add the curry to it. It was perfect. Also, the waitress was the one that suggested for us to get the yellow curry and she was spot on. It was very good. I'd say my favorite dish of the night was the yellow curry, followed by the pad Thai. We'll definitely be back again, especially for that yellow curry. Thanks for the good eats.... read more

Excellent. My fiance and I came out for a late night dinner and glad we stoped here. It's a small restaurant but has great food and outstanding service. There portion are large that we had enough for lunch the next day. We ordered the pad see ew and pad Thai I recommend both. We will be back again soon. read more

Had an early dinner at this place so we can cat the sunset. Didn't have any high expectations but we were surprised. The menu offered all variety of main stream and specialty Thai dishes. We ordered the beef salad and the three kinds sweet and sour fish. Both dishes were pretty good. The beef salad had enough spiciness to kick it up a little. Although it was a salad, it came with few leaves of lettuce and mixed in with red sliced onions. The spicy sweet and sour fish was so tasty. Crunchy and soft combined with the special sauce was so good. We were there at the off hour so there was no wait. Good place to catch some Thai food if you don't want to lug all the way to Hollywood. read more

This is an excellent restaurant with great customer service. We were there on the early side on Friday, about 5:30, so we were seated right away at a nice table by the window. Great for people watching on Main Street. We both ordered ice water and they kept are glasses full the entire meal. We ordered the Lettuce Cups ($12.95) to start. The meat was perfectly minced, ice cold lettuce and they came with these delicious light and crispy fried wonton strips. These strips were so delicate, we couldn't stop eating them. I hope we can find them someplace and not have to make them ourselves. We shared the Chicken Yellow Curry ($17.95) and the Chicken Pad Thai ($18.50). Both of these could have been without the chicken. Maybe next time with fried tofu if they have that. The flavors of both dishes were spot on. We ordered the curry mild and it had lots of flavor without the heat. Attentive service throughout and we didn't feel rushed at all, even as the restaurant started to fill up. We will definitely return and then do our usual walk up and down Main Street for some fresh air and steps. It was a very nice time. read more

Love the food. Unfortunately trying to order on line for delivery doesn't work well. Was hoping to simply add extra peanut sauce and had to call as doing that request didn't work. Whoever answered the phone to ask to add the extra sauce was thrown out of her comfort zone. An easy "yes, we can add extra peanut sauce" was a request received as a Death threat. LoL! Just wanted to order my favorite spring rolls with extra peanut sauce. How dare me! read more

I visited on a weekday during that odd, quiet time between lunch and dinner. I was quickly seated and ordered a couple of appetizers - fresh spring rolls (with tofu rather than shrimp) and satay chicken - along with a Thai iced tea. The Thai tea was perfection, exactly the taste you hope for. The spring rolls were delivered first. There were four rolls, all very fresh. The thin rice paper held bean sprout, carrot, shredded lettuce, cucumber, basil, and vermicelli along with a long piece of tofu. A delicious sweet & sour sauce with crushed peanut was on the side for dipping. The satay chicken (four skewers) were set before me the instant I finished the spring rolls. The grilled chicken was tender and flavorful. An excellent peanut sauce was provided for dipping; it was so good I finished it by skewer #3 and wanted more but couldn't get anyone's attention. I could have been more persistent about it but honestly the chicken was wonderful just as it was so I just continued to chow down. I was there during "happy hour" so the spring rolls were a real deal as they were on the happy hour menu. The satay chicken was reasonably priced as were most items on the menu. This is a good choice for Thai if you find yourself on Main Street near the Seal Beach pier. read more

Best pad Thai I've ever had! We've been by this place so many times when we visit seal beach and never stopped until today. I wish I came sooner. The pad Thai was fresh and steaming hot. It had the right amount of sauce and a nice smoky flavor. We also had the tom yum soup and mango sticky rice. Both were delicious as well. The service was also great. The employees were welcoming and kind. I just found my new fav Thai spot and can't wait to come back!!! read more

As of late, I have definitely developed a Love-hate relationship with this restaurant. I have been going to Thai on Main for several years now. It used to be that the food was always great & the service was always good. Then COVID hit, travel and relationship happened and next thing i know. it was a long time until i went back again just a few weeks ago to pick up a "to go" order for the first time as opposed to dining in. On that occasion, the service was mediocre and the food was terrible. Granted i ordered some items that i had never tried there before. That day, I wrote a review about that experience. Fast forward to today. I decided to go back and give it another try. I decided to dine in once again, since i recently had a terrible experience with my 1 & only to go order. Unlike last time. Upon entering the restaurant, i was greeted promptly and with a smile. I ordered 2 of my all time favorite dishes. The Tom Kha Soup with Shrimp and the pineapple fried rice with shrimp. I'm pleased to say that both dishes were excellent and the waitress was really kind and friendly. But this time however, the problem is that we kept getting one fly after another. I killed the first fly with the hard cover menu. I smashed it. Yes. Sorry for the visual. One of the waiters noticed and came by with this fly deterrent fan with 12" paper blades spinning horizontally like a helicopter on our table. Not only was it not effective but it was taking too much space at the table. So, I moved it one table over. While dining, I literally killed 6 more flies with my table cloth this time. Which i kept aside for the flies only & for sanitary reasons,. No one came by to say anything or to even offer me a new table cloth. As i was leaving the restaurant. I went to open the front door. I noticed that the door was left ajar. Most likely on purpose because it had a table cloth wrapped around the door handle and wedged in the door opening. Not sure why that was. Maybe to keep this old door from getting stuck. Who knows! And that's maybe Where the flies were coming from. You can now see why I've been having a Love/Hate relationship with this place as of late. I don't think that i will be going back anytime soon. And it's a shame because the food is really good. Venture at your own risk. read more

I love this place! It's my go to when I have out of time visitors I want to impress. They deliver ... fresh, spicy, delicious! My favorite trout dish has more breading than in the past, but I still order it! The spicy chicken dumplings and pot stickers are to live for!!!! read more

Had lunch here yesterday. Cute place and pretty popular with the locals, and I've been here a number of times but usually for dinner. This is also one of the few restaurants in the area that stays open on holidays, which is always a plus. They serve the same menu for both lunch and dinner. We came in around 1 PM and it wasn't too crowded. I wasn't super hungry, so I just went with their Thai Iced Tea and Papaya Salad. My friends ordered the Pad See Ew, Fresh Spring Rolls, and Khao Soi. Everything came out great as expected. Super flavorful with generous portions. We ended up boxing most of it. Service was fast and easy, as always. read more

Decided to stop in for dinner, we are a Thai food family, and this place had the kids asking to come back again next time. :) The service was on point, never an empty glass and handling a busy floor of people with friendliness and ease. The dishes we chose were all great: Egg Rolls - Good ingredient choices and a really good dipping sauce, made with love for sure! Green curry (w/ chicken) - Good flavor notes, a perfect amount of spice for the fam, and plenty to go around. Tim Yum - Lots of noodles, good flavor, not exactly what I'm used to, but my daughter absolutely loved it. Moo Yaang - My son loved it! I mean, charbroiled pork on a stick with chili-lime sauce, what's not to love? Ka Prow - My go-to. The flavor depth was spot on, not as hot as I had expected, but that was a good thing as the kids really enjoyed it as well. The ambiance is that of a small family owned Thai restaurant, the kids running and bussing the front, and the parents making magic in the back. We'll certainly be back, and we hope to see you there. :) read more

Took my wife here on a Saturday afternoon and wow -- Thai on Main absolutely delivered! Tucked right into the buzz of Main Street, it's got that cozy vibe where you instantly feel welcome. We ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and Garlic Chicken, and both dishes were packed with flavor and made with real care. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced -- not too sweet, not too tangy -- just the right amount of sauce coating those noodles with tender chicken throughout. Portion size? Generous. Taste? Spot on. My wife couldn't stop talking about the Garlic Chicken -- savory, crispy, and bold with just the right hint of spice. It had that homemade comfort food feeling but elevated. Service was fast and friendly, even though they were clearly busy with weekend foot traffic. You can tell this place is run by people who care about the food and the customers. read more

Unfortunate that this was one of my local go-to spots. Really liked their food in the past, but visited with my parents this weekend and there was a ROACH in the panang curry. Staff was quick to replace the meal and provide options to accommodate, but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Can't say that I'll visit again, even being so close to Main Street. Couldn't snag a photo because of the utter shock we were in and staff took the plate immediately after we notified them. So disappointed and to think I was the one that recommended to my family from out of town. read more

To be honest when we got there we got sat down quickly , we came in on a Saturday night and we got lucky because they close pretty late, I loved the vibe in there the music was nice and they even had candle lights which was great. We ordered: Shrimp fried rice it was amazing the price was great and the amount of food we received was perfect for 2 2. Chicken chow me read more

I went on a Tuesday at noon and we were seated right away! Beautiful and clean interior with great and attentive staff! I got the lunch special of ka prao with tofu and brown rice and salad (instead of soup). The salad was fresh with good veggies and a tasty dressing. The ka prao was very tasty and not too spicy! Veggies were crisp, I got the soft tofu and the brown rice was cooked well. A great serving for only around $13! read more

Happy hour drinks and appetizers! Woo woo! An extensive menu where everything looked delicious. I settled on the pad see eew with chicken. Very generous portion size; I was able to eat a decent amount of dinner and then have a bit leftover for lunch the next day. I can confidently say the food reheats well, too! Great little spot along Main Street in Seal Beach. I look forward to coming back and trying other dishes! 2024: 76/100 read more

We stumbled upon this place while we were in the area. They have 2 hr street parking which was nice. We came on a Monday afternoon after 1pm so it was pretty quiet and didnt have to wait for a table. We got seated next to the window since it was brighter. We ordered the lunch special which includes a soup or salad option. I got the green curry and it came with brown rice and I chose the soup. My husband got the pad thai and chose the salad. The green curry was a bit salty but it was still pretty good. The soup was filled with veggies and topped with fried garlic. The pad thai was good and flavorful but the server didnt ask what spice level we wanted so we had to ask for a spice rack. The salad was good with a tangy dressing. Overall, the food was good! read more

Let me start off by saying the service was great. Good and friendly people. However, when we ordered the Panang Curry, we found cockroach in the soup. We told and showed the server about it and she immediately removed the food. As a restaurant I am not sure what kitchen they have and why would roaches be in their food. read more

What a great surprise came to Seal Beach for Italian but the smells from this establishment lured us in! So glad we tried this place because every dish we tried was a solid 10/10.

After a 6 hour drive, I stopped here for a quick bite. I had the curry lunch special and it was delicious. The service was great, location is right on Main St in Seal Beach, and the food was wonderful. Not bad for a lunch time special either. I'll definitely be back. read more

The ingredients were clearly not fresh. Given such a prime location, it's hard to understand why the space is being operated by a restaurant with this level of quality. The location has so much potential, yet the food and overall execution fall far below what one would expect. read more

Out of all Thai places I've been to, the worst service I received was here. Coming in the waitresses do not really address you and just make you sit. While we were sitting at 5:50 PM, we were trying to get the Happy Hour Menu. It took about 10 minutes to flag a waitress down, and even then when she finally came to us right at 6:00 PM, she stated that there was no HH as the time passed. We informed her that we tried to flag her down but she said "no we do not do that". So that already left a sour taste in our mouths. We just ended up ordering from the regular menu. Tom Kha- it was not bad but we notice it was too coconutty if that is even a word. We just drank it and that's it. By the way it does not come with any rice. Just only the soup and rice is like 2.50-3.50. Pick your poison. Pad See Ew- honestly pretty good! With the soft tofu, it was def enjoyable but with the sour taste we had from the service def was hard to chew down. Overall, the food is decent but the customer service is not good. The lady with the glasses that worked with us took our sharing plates without asking on top of that did not honor the happy hour time. She was literally hard to work with. Overall I do not think I want to come back even though the pad see ew was good. Sometimes customer service weighs way more than the food you eat. read more

Very dry chicken, slow service, terrible "martini" with rice wine base. Noodles are good. Thai on Main benefits from being the only Thai food around. Otherwise, the quality of their dishes and service from employees would not support a long-standing business model. read more

I was craving Thai food on a Saturday afternoon while I was in Seal Beach and found this place on Yelp. It was nestled in a quaint downtown area, which is definitely worth exploring, so leave some time. Thanks Yelp! I concur with all the high ratings! It was delicious! I had the shrimp spring rolls, which came with a vinegary peanut sauce, yummy. I had the yellow curry with chicken (plenty of chicken) and quenched my thirst with a chilled glass of Singha on draft. A great meal, thank you God! read more

I love the food in this restaurant. Every menu is delicious. Great service and friendly. Recommended.

Average price here is $20. Their Pad Thai was good but its $17 not including tip and tax. Service was good. They were good about refilling our water. The interior design was a nice mix of biege, light purple, and dark wood. Their small sized soups are $9 and VERY small. It has about as much soup as you would get in a small mug. So definitely don't recommend that. Good Friday is a holiday so their lunch specials are not applicable then read more

7/5/24 Loved their side salad that came with my dish specifically the dressing. But the best is the spicy cashew shrimps and opted for the mild level. $15.50 at lunchtime before tax. I'm ok with it.

I have been back a few times in the last couple of years and unfortunately will no longer continue. Last time I went in, Sunday 4/27, I arrived at lunchtime and was sad to see only two tables occupied. I resolved that although I wasn't very hungry, I would spend a decent amount of money and bring home what I couldn't consume on site, just to support the business. I selected a small 2-top table so as not to take up too much space in case it they did get a rush, and ordered a cocktail first. After my drink was ordered but before it was delivered , the server came and unenthusiastically asked what I wanted. I said I wanted to start with an order of beef satay, an order of chicken satay, and an order of shrimp satay (around $45 worth of appetizers) The server was obviously annoyed and told me "We don't do that" and started to walk away. I stopped him and clarified that I wasn't done ordering and that I wasn't asking for anything they "don't do". I am pretty sure he thought I was trying to order one skewer of each thing, but regardless, he was absolutely bitchy and did not ask to clarify. He was very impatient said they won't be able to do ANY appetizers because the appetizer cook was sick that day. I asked, so what can I order? He still gave me attitude and said "You can't have just appetizers." I paid for my drink, tipped 20% and left and I will never be back. My own satay is better anyway but I was just hoping to support a small local business. read more

The food was good. The service was not. Our waitress was not friendly, took a while to take our drink order, laughed at me when I told her the soda did not taste right, and did not check on our table. Their prices on the menu are not what they charge you when they bring the bill. And they will charge you an 18% service fee if you have six or more people without telling you. I don't think we'll be back. read more

Truly the best pad see ew noodles! I ordered take out when I was feeling a little under the weather, so I don't have too much experience with the staff but when I walked in they were very kind and welcoming. Inside looked very nice and I look forward to getting to eat in the restaurant read more

This restaurant has a lot of great things going for it. They have a little outdoor area now that is nice. We called ahead (about an hour) on a Saturday night, and they were able to set aside an outdoor table for us, which was much appreciated. The servers were all very attentive. My hibiscus margarita was really very tasty (seemed a bit light on the tequila though). Overall, good experience. Now why only 4 stars? The spring rolls were... weird. They were not the fried spring rolls with veggies I have had at every other Thai restaurant. They were more like... sushi salad wraps? There was a big piece of tofu rather than like a cooked veggie mix inside it. This was somewhat disappointing. They have a vegan page on their menu, but there are literally no noodle dishes on the vegan menu. The server informed me that literally all the noodles are cooked in oyster sauce. This was really disappointing for me. I love eating Thai noodles. No noodles for vegetarians. read more

An early evening or late lunch... stopped in after 3pm during happy hour drink specials so we grabbed some food and a cold libation. We were greeted by the server and offered both indoors and outside options, it was amazing weather on a comfortable afternoon, so outside it was. Very friendly service, kind and attentive. Our server checked on us enough but was not overbearing. Made sure we has what we needed and then out of sight. Started off with the sampler appetizer platter it includes egg rolls, bacon wrapped shrimp, crab puffs and chicken skewers. With dipping side sauces. Each was good, the egg rolls golden brown crispy and delicious and the bacon wrapped shrimp were quite tasty. I went for the Roast duck curry, it was very good as well, succulent duck in a spicy curry sauce with veggies, and a side of rice. This is a great meal and filling. The curry is very good. A nice place to grab a meal and enjoy a drink, the outside sitting area is comfortable and relaxing. 3.5 Stars - rounded up for the good curry. 00800 read more
