I LOVE this place. The Tom Ka Kai soup and the Chicken Panang are amazing. My wife likes the Pad Thai. I've probably had Tom Ka Kai and Chicken Panang here 30 times over the years since they opened. But I don't get around to reviewing much, obviously. I literally may go there right now. Don (Danh?) the owner or manager is a wonderful guy. He used to work over at Thai Paradise on Mira Costa in San Clemente maybe 15-20 years ago. read more

Excellent service, good food, clean establishment. Lunch menu very reasonably priced with good quantity as well.

I ordered here because it's close to my house normally always go to this place called Thai bites because it's really good I was specifically craving drunken noodles and what I got was not that pretty disappointed. I asked the lady what dishes have drunken noodles and they charge me extra for drunken noodles so I don't know where the miscommunication was but pretty bummed. read more

Once again leaving a 5 star evaluation. The Thai Palace makes the best "Yum Luea" salad I have ever had. The fresh cut salad greens and vegetables are covered with a decent amount of beef slices and covered with the best sauce you will ever have. The pot stickers are the best as well- tasty filling, tender dough but is grilled as well giving it a special taste. L along with a powerful dipping sauce. The best in the world! read more

Came here for lunch with some friends. Parking was easy, the place was small but clean. Our food tasted great but I was disappointed about the serving size for the price. read more

I do pick up from Thai Palace fairly frequently. The food is always good. The portions are good size. They are also willing to customize, like added extra vegetable for a small increase in price. I especially like the green curry and the fried rice dishes. read more

We love Thai palace for take out. They make the best Pad See Ew I have ever had. You can never go wrong with one of the curries and we always like their soup. read more

I really, really wanted to like this place, because I love thai food, and it's very close to where I work. I ordered tom ka gai, and chicken pad Thai. The tom ka gai was really good, it had a decent amount of veggies (carrots, mushrooms and cabbage) and chicken. The broth was a bit thicker than what I've had at other places, which was nice. I'd order it again. The unfortunate part of my lunch was the pad Thai. The person who took my phone order didn't ask me what spice level I wanted - something I realized after I was driving back to my office, takeout in hand. It was so spicy that I couldn't even eat it. I typically order my Thai food at a medium, so spicy is something that I can handle. However, this dish was honestly inedible. It went in the trash. Perhaps things would be different if it was made at my preferred spice level, but unfortunately I can't testify to that. I also had a Thai tea, which was very standard to other Thai teas. :) I probably won't be back, I'll venture to other nearby restaurants. read more

The Last Visit was Great! So our first visit was a few months ago when we first moved to SC. We were looking for a new Thai "go-to" close by. I came really close to giving it a 4 star review as everything was good almost very good but nothing remarkable. We had the chicken pad thai. The flavors were not quite there and a little bland compared to other Thai places we have visited in other areas. However, on our visit Saturday night, the meal was great and Flavors vibrant! LOCATION & AMBIANCE (Rating 3.5) Tucked away in a strip mall that is not easy to find the Thai Palace is not quite a hole in the wall, but definitely not fine dining. Both times we've been there it's been moderately busy with a good take out business it seems. Most of the seating is on the side and back of the building, so we've found that the waitresses are not very responsive as there is no line of site for them to be able to do their work and keep an eye on your needs as well. SERVICE (Rating 3) They have always been nice, but as mentioned above, great service is practically impossible if the waitresses have no line of site with you as they have allot of counter work to do as well. YELLOW CURRY CHICKEN (Rating 4.5) * First Visit (Rating 3.5) We ordered the Yellow chicken curry which was good. The sauce was heavy, in a good way and flavors were good and it did come with rice. * 10/3/2015 (Rating 4.5) The flavors were vibrant, the spices perfectly balanced as just the right amount of potatoes were added which can defeat the spices very easily. TAM KHA SOUP w CHICKEN (Rating 4.5) * 10/03/2015 Visit (Rating 4.5) Tonight I found the Tam KHA soup to be excellent. The balance of sweet and spicy was superb and the soup consistency was just right. The quality of some of the cabbage used was not up to par and the chicken was just a little over cooked which happens so easily, but I'd order this again in a minute. Much better tonight than the first visit. * First Visit (Rating 3.75) We had the Tam Kar soup with chicken as well, which was also good. Not quite as sweet as some others I've had, but very good. All of the chicken in every dish was over cooked which can happen in these types of dishes very easily. I think we'll give it another shot and revisit this rating. CHICKEN PHAD THAI (Rating 4.25) The chicken phad thai is wonderful. They use the red noodles and it's consistency and spices used are nicely done. This dish is not spicy and to be honest it needs a little more heat, so plan on adding that. read more

My family has been ordering from Thai Palace for so many years now and it is such a staple for us. The service is always great, all employees are very kind and the food is AMAZING. Our favorites are the pad Thai with chicken, the yellow curry, the fried rice with shrimp, and the spring rolls! We do a lot of take out/ delivery and it's such a cozy at home meal. 11/10 always! read more

Bland, tasteless overcooked food. Try Thai Bite for a better experience.

This place has become a favorite of our office. We all agree that the food is tasty, well priced and served in large portions. I've had a few of the noodle dishes and the pineapple curry and have liked them all. Try the Ching Chang Thong wontons. They're awesome! Be warned: When you order something spicy (4 or 5 star), it can make you sweat. Thai Palace is rocks! read more

Thai Palace - Chow Mein @ Thai Palace - Thai Near Me - San Clemente, California

I ordered yellow curry w/ chicken. The curry was good, BUT the Chicken was Nasty. It tasted gross and my stomach was NOT happy after I ate it. It made me sick. The chicken just had a weird taste. I only had a few pieces, but enough to make me sick. Beware. If you order chicken and it has a weird taste, don't eat it. Ugh! So annoying. Today is Sunday 3/22/20. I hope they throw that batch away and cook new fresh chicken. read more

Really disappointed with our take out. The chicken in all 4 dishes was rubbery and dry. I ordered the massaman curry which was overly sweet and lacked the richness that makes this dish so great. The chicken was inedible. Soup was also so sweet, also inedible. read more

I like the curry at this restaurant. The service was good, the food is good. The lunch special is a good value. I also like the outdoor seating. I would not say anything was exceptional, but sometimes all you want is a predictable good meal. read more

They charged my over charged my card by about 10 bucks. Not going again, can't support a business that is so dishonest. I don't believe it's a mistake because they keep an itemized list of the order while taking your money. If you come here pay lots of attention. read more

I really like this location! I would say the gentlemen that seems to be a manager or owner could smile more, but when he's not around it's a perfect atmosphere. Plus, everything I've tried so far is good! read more

SOLID Thai food spot. It's a little out of the way if you're looking for something close to the beach but well worth the drive. The pad Thai is really good and keeps me going back for more. Sometimes the chicken is a little dry but always good flavor. Their curries are also very good and a good spice level. There are a few good Thai restaurants in town so it's hard to go wrong but Thai Palace is always a win. read more

Good food selection. Very flavorful. Very nice wait staff. Prices have escalated and gotten a bit pricey.

This is the best Thai food in south county! It tastes like an authentic, home cooked meal. Ultimate comfort food and tasty every single time. read more

We have continued to order from here for take out, but in the past year there have been too many issues. While the food is generally good, the lack of consistency, constantly incorrect orders, orders which have been overcooked/burnt is far too often. What is most upsetting is we have constantly received completely incorrect orders. They have offered to give discounts, etc as a result, but I'm not sure if we will coming back as this is a frequently repeated issue. read more

Love Thai Palace! Our go to for our favorite dishes. Always relishes and they are so kind! I highly recommend them!

The food is just below okay. They barely give you any protein. It's filled with vegetables. The noodle dish that I ordered was extremely salty. I couldn't even eat it. Such a disappointment. I am not sure why others think this place is so good. read more

The best Thai in town. All Currys are yummy and love the glass noodle soup.Chicken CurryChicken Panang

Ordered the panang curry with rice and was very disappointed. The curry was more soupy than thick, and lacked flavor. Paid the extra few dollars for sea scallops and counted a whopping 3 small ones. I love Thai food but this was not good. Poor value, poor taste. read more

Location is convenient and food is average. We had the Pad Thai, Thom Kar soup, chicken Sa-Tay and a Massaman Curry. Not the flavor infused Thai food that I crave or am used too. read more

We have been going to Thai Palace for years. The food is great and we are always greeted with a warm smile and a wonderful hello from Don. The outdoor seating is nice. I always get the yellow curry and the wife gets the green curry. The dinner portions are enough for two or three meals. read more

I always prefer to support local, family owned businesses. Not only is the food authentic and delicious but the owner's son genuinely cares about his customers and always makes extra effort to ensure they leave happy. Quality is consistent. My staple go to order: chicken satay (you can tell they use quality chicken), pad kee mao (tofu protein option), and the best mango coconut sticky rice I've had! Their mangoes are always perfectly ripe I don't know how they do it. I order these 3 items at every Thai restaurant I try and can honestly vouch for Thai Palace as San Clemente's best. read more

Legitament service and authentic food Would highly recomend wonton soup So much pad Thai that i had to take some home for later and trust me when i say that NEVER happens read more

Authentic Thai Food and good sized portions. Quick, delicious and the owners are really nice!

We love ordering lunch from here. Great prices, and the food is delicious. We usually phone in our order for pick up, and they don't ask what kind of spice you'd like but it's usually just enough. My Husband doesn't like too spicy and he likes the red curry. We also get the pad thai with no bean sprouts and it's always delicious! read more

We have enjoyed this place for years the food is good prices are fair and they have a good menu I recommend the Tom Yum soup and pad Thai

Food is ok. I usually order the same dishes and sometimes they are spicier that other times. Check out the dirty towels drying off on top of the plants at the back door. How can a towel get that filthy? Check out the jug of cigarette butts in water next to the back door. Too many butts to count. read more

Food is fresh and pretty delicious. The best local Thai food. The Panang Curry, Yellow Curry, Larb, and Pad see ew are pretty good!!

We have been here few times and have done takeouts several times. We ordered Red curry and Spicy noodles for our dinner. My hubby was SO disappointed with quantity of his noodle dish today. There were barely any noodles..... I feel bad leaving this review because people who work there are nice however food is very pricey and quantity is super low! read more

Pad kee mao please! I wish their Thai iced teas were larger, but I'm just being picky, everything we have had is worth five stars.

I've been here a few times and it's pretty good food. There really isn't many places to choose from in the area so I'm very happy that this one is so good. The yellow curry, the larb, the pad thai were all great. I will definitely return! read more
