    AP5. Summer Rolls (2 Rolls)
    Steve Y.

    Came here for a quick dinner with my wife on a Thursday night. The restaurant was spacious and we were seated right away with no wait. We ordered the pad see ew with extra veggies, BBQ chicken, and summer rolls. Overall, the food was good and service was smooth. That said, some dishes lacked presentation--specifically the BBQ chicken. I was expecting it plated with rice, but it came on a skillet and looked pretty plain. Flavor-wise it was fine, but nothing really stood out. Overall, it's solid, average Thai food. Not bad by any means, just nothing extraordinary.

    Pad thai with tofu
    Jeremy S.

    We went here for dinner and got the chicken satay (five skewers), pad thai with fried tofu, and red curry with pork. There weren't many people in the restaurant, and we got seated after the server took care of a pickup order. Although there weren't many people inside the restaurant at the time, it took a little while for the dishes to arrive. Also, they brought over the appetizer and the red curry at the same time. The red curry also didn't have bamboo shoots as shown in the menu. However, they were able to take back the curry and put in the bamboo shoots. They were also a little slow with providing the check. Despite some challenges with the service, the red curry tasted great. The Thai basil added fragrance and made each bite flavorful. The jasmine rice that went with the meal was too mushy for my liking. It's a matter of preference, but I'd rather not have rice watery. The pad thai was a little too sweet for our liking, but the fried tofu tasted good.

    I've seen this place plenty of times and I have been curious to try it. They have signs outside of being voted best of OC in yelp and trip advisor so we had to try them! They are small local business located in a big strip mall with a lot of parking spots available. They have a host stand right at the entrance. The ambiance is cozy and family friendly. I did notice that some of the artwork on the walls are for sale from local artists that I thought was a very nice touch to help give visibility to the community. The place is not too big but tables don't feel cramped. The waitress was very patient with us as we looked through the menu. We ordered black iced tea which tasted freshly brewed and refreshing. We started with the egg rolls that were very crisp and a generous portion. They were good, but my bf likes them with less veggie filling and more protein. For our main dishes we ordered: chicken pad Thai, mixed Thai fried rice and chicken mango curry. The chicken pad Thai was the best out of what we ordered. The noodles were perfectly cooked and everything tasted delicious. The mixed fried rice was also good with the beef being our favorite protein on it. Lastly the mango curry had a good flavour but it was too watery compared to what I'm used to and the chicken didn't have too much flavour. It was the impression of it having been boiled separately and added to the curry later. All of these didn't really have any spice to it. The curry is the only one that had a hint of kick at the end. We would've liked to have some hot sauce to add some spice to it but there were none on the tables. We didn't ask for any either. Overall the food was good for the area, but I would not say the best. They do have a great value for money and quality. The portions are very generous for everything so we had a big baby to take home.

    Thai chili in fish sauce
    Robert P.

    Came for lunch today. Not too familiar with Thai chow, so I requested Pad Thai because it's the only one familiar to me. WAS DELICIOUS. Especially with the Thai chilis in "fish sauce" as the lovely staff lady said. You can order mild-Med- or Spicy. I got Spicy and it was typical spicy I'd say 6 out of 10 on my scale--meaning you can feel the heat but it's nowhere near uncomfortable. The Thai chili adds a TON of flavor. Highly recommend all of it! Will be back.

    AP11. Appetizer Plate (9 Pcs)
    Holly R.

    My favorite hole in the wall! I have yet to have Thai food as good as they have it here! My go to is the chicken sataay as their peanut sauce is pure perfection. My boyfriend got the combination pad see ew and he could not stop eating it, even when he was full. We tried something new and got the appetizer sample. It was nice to try their crowd pleaser (popular) plates all in one. Lastly we finished with the mango sticky rice. This always hits the spot at the end of the meal. Light and full of flavor. Our server was kind and didn't hover over us. We noticed the servers watch from a distance instead of constantly checking on the table. This was nice as it was date night and it was refreshing not having to break our conversation multiple times.

    Came here for lunch, was craving some Thai food today! Got the cashew chicken with Jasmine rice, Delicious, wish it had a bit more of a kick as far as spice goes. But it was tasty and filling. Also ordered the yellow curry but I forgot to take a picture of it so bummed. The server she was really friendly and smiled a lot. Fantastic service here, clean and they had some cute decorations surrounding the restaurant. Will be back here for lunch again. Have a beautiful day :) Aloha be kind to everyone

    I used to eat at Thai Specialty many moons ago. I was in the area and decided to eat here and see if the food quality is still the same. The decor has been tastefully updated and very welcoming. It was the end of your typical lunch rush and I was seated immediately. They have lunch specials and I ordered my go to, pad woon sen with chicken. This dish comes with a veggie egg roll. It was as I remembered it, so good!!! There's a reason Thai speciality has been around all these years - food is awesome and their service is excellent!

    We tried Luck Gai in Anaheim and ordered a variety of dishes to share. We started with the Munchy…read morePlatter, and my favorites were the coconut shrimp and chicken satay skewers. The chicken was seasoned so well. The shrimp pad Thai was delicious, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. We also got the green chicken curry with eggplant, which was so flavorful. My husband and I agreed it's one of the best curries we've had! The papaya salad was refreshing with a little spice. Since they're known for their Thai style chicken and rice, we tried that too. The fried chicken was my favorite, it was wonderfully crispy. We finished with Thai tea and a galaxy honey lemonade, both of which were refreshing and not too sweet. I'd happily come back, especially for the curry and fried chicken!

    I really wanted to like Luck Gai Café because I thought I had found another hidden gem, but…read moreunfortunately this was a disappointing experience. We started with the Blue Butterfly Pea Flower drink, and it honestly tasted like water with syrup. I asked our server about it and was told it was honey. He did offer to replace it, which I appreciated, but the interactions throughout the meal felt awkward and not particularly welcoming. We also waited quite a while to order while tables that arrived after us were helped quickly... The coconut shrimp was good and probably gave me too much hope for what was coming next. Crispy, flavorful, and paired with good sauces. The Thai tea was also really good. Unfortunately, the Panang seafood curry was a big letdown. The portion was small with a lot of rice, the squid was extremely chewy, and the catfish had a very strong fishy taste. There were also leaves left throughout the curry that were unpleasantly bitter when eaten. The pad kra pao was another disappointment. I was actually excited to see it on the menu since not every Thai restaurant around here offers it. We ordered medium, but this was WAY beyond what I would consider medium. I enjoy spicy food, but there's a difference between heat that enhances a dish and heat that keeps you reaching for water. The portion was also small compared with the amount of rice, and the fried egg was overcooked with basically no runny yolk. Presentation was nice, and there were definitely a few things I enjoyed, but between the portions, inconsistent food, service, and overall experience, I left disappointed. For Thai food in the area, I'd personally rather make the drive elsewhere. 3/10.

I was having my lunch and she comes to remove the hot sauce away from our table. Mind you, the restaurant was not busy for almost 12 pm, which is unusual. I didn't care that she took it, it's how pushy she was about it. Then, my friend asks for a to go box and she picks up her plates, but I am still eating. I felt rushed by her when I am clearly eating and she asks if "I'm done". That was my breaking point. We go to lunch to relax and enjoy a meal. Not feel rushed. I told her she was being too pushy and asked her to go away. She walks away and as soon as she is behind me, she says sorrryyyyy with an attitude. That was uncalled for. When I went to give the other guy feedback, she was right there, being rude, listening in. This is NOT the service we have ever received. We average about 500 dollars a week in lunches between clients and different colleagues of mine. You can consider that revenue gone and multiple clients lost. What happened to the other servers? The muscular guy, the older lady. This girl thinks her behavior is acceptable. She just cost you guys quite a bit of sales monthly!
