Fresh Mango with Sweet Sticky Rice
Desiree A.

This is a hidden gem! I was at the farmers market and wanted to grab lunch before heading home. Thai This is within walking distance from the Dana Point Farmers Market. I ordered the Thai iced tea and green Thai iced tea. They're both on the sweeter side. However, the spice level is "Thai spicy" (iykyk), so the tea is a wonderful compliment to the food. For appetizer, I ordered the calamari and the summer rolls. I also got the Yum Yai salad. It was so refreshing and delicious! I recommend this salad!! For entrees, the Pad Talay (my personal favorite) and the chef special: seafood noodle. Dessert: mango sticky rice. You have to make room for the mango sticky rice! I loved the vibe here. I feel like this place should get more love. - It's a family owned business. - The food is delicious. - The restaurant is clean and quiet. -The service is impeccable. I highly recommend you check it out.

Mango sticky rice

First time trying this restaurant. I always try my favorite Thai curry dish at every Thai restaurant, just to get a baseline. The salmon red curry dish at Thai this did not disappoint. The salmon was cooked well and the veggies were still crunchy and the curry was perfect. Also tried their special dish- crispy duck. Well prepared. Appetizer were the Triangles, these were good too. Thank you for the experience!

SO GOOD! I've passed this place so many times and we finally went today- it's smaller inside and cute. The people working there are so kind! We brought my 1 year old and they fawned over him- they gave him a capped water cup with a straw and even gave us little baby wipes after to clean him up. We shared the chicken satay- I was the only one that really liked it, my husband & dad weren't a fan of the seasoning but I liked the turmeric (maybe cinnamon?) flavor. I got the eggplant chicken- phenomenal. So hot and fresh, and packed with flavor and fresh veggies. I finished the whole thing, even the rice, and it was a very large portion but the food didn't feel overly heavy or greasy. Dad got the green curry and loved it, and my husband got the drunken noodles which I tried and those were also fantastic! Got a side of fried rice for the baby and that was a very large portion and also very good. Id highly recommend coming! We will definitely be back!

What I got: Red and Green Thai Tea Chicken Satay Calamari Tom Kha Seafood Noodles Crispy Duck Beef Salad authentic Thai cuisine made with the freshest ingredients, traditional recipes, and amazing customer service. Ambiance is cute and has plenty of seating inside, they also have a little bar. Service is amazing, they cater to their customer really well. Food comes out fast and really tasty. There's plenty of options to choose from, I love all the food, very tasty and the duck stand out the most. We definitely enjoyed dining here with my girlfriends, and it's a good Thai food near the beach!

Thai Iced Tea

This is probably a top 5 Asian restaurant in the Dana Point area. The staff are friendly and hospitable. Very good service. The seating is great, both high and low tables. They even have a wine bar, pretty cool. Their Famous Yellow curry is a must try. It's my go-to dish. Honestly everything here is pretty amazing. 10/10 recommend!!!

Yellow Curry

The food is really amazing honestly the best Thai in our area. Yellow Curry thickened the way it should be. Pom and family are very sweet and welcoming. Definitely going to be a regular spot for us.

This was such a lovely surprise find for me! I was in Dana Point and wanted to try some Thai food and I came to the right place :) I ordered the nutty noodle (sub chicken w tofu) and it was delicious. The peanut sauce tasted like savory peanut butter (I'm obsessed) and the tempura veggies were yummy as well! My favorite part was the service, along with the great food, as the staff were so friendly and hilarious. I had a really good time eating here! The restaurant is pretty small and intimate but a hidden gem!

Mango Sticky Rice and Pandan Pudding with Coconut Cream

Top quality Thai with great service and fresh, always delicious dishes! You can't miss with Eggplant chicken, Drunken Noodle, and Yellow Potato Curry! Generous portions and generous staff makes this the Best Thai In OC!

Sticky rice and Fresh Mango with Sweet Sticky Rice

We keep coming back to Thai This because it's just THAT good!! The food is consistently delicious, super fresh, and full of flavor. Service is always great and it has such a cozy, local feel. If you're in Dana Point, you have to try it! YOU WILL BE HOOKED!! We loved the chicken satay, basil beef & garlic shrimp! However, the fried rice is AMAZING!! 10/10!

Seafood salad

Ended up going with the crispy wings, garlic butter noodles, yellow curry, and smoked pho. Food came out in decent time and we enjoyed each dish. The smoked pho broth was some of the best I've had. Deep rich flavor mixed with the smoked rib made for a memorable bowl. Curry was well done and paired well with the baguette. Wings were juicy and crispy; noodles would be a pass for next time though. Wouldn't hesitate to come back for another round.

Food. Service. Ambiance. All of these describe this restaurant as EXCELLENT…read more This is my Go To for Thai. I do have one other on stand by. But this is my fave. I ordered the Crying Tiger for lunch today. And as usual, it was excellent. There is a lot, so I brought the remaining food home. Spread the word. It's GOLDEN. And I really like their Mango & Coconut Sweet Sticky Rice dessert. They give a generous portion. I haven't had any other that I like as much or more

After being a monthly customer for 7+ years, I'm done with this place…read more Dining in person is frustrating if you like customer service. You literally have to wave them down for refills, or remind for sauces, etc. one time it took 15 minutes from when we asked for a check to get the bill. Then another 10 for them to pick it up, so we got up and took it to the front register. Ordering takeout is even worse. They hand you a receipt to sign and tip them for...well I don't know why they expect a tip. Every visit I ask for several types of sauces and or utensils, they are ALWAYS skimping out. If I order 3 entrees and I ask for hot sauce, I should be given enough hot sauce for my order. Skinny short haired lady hands me 3 ketchup size packets for 3 entrees max. The final straw was on a takeout order when I see the typical "3 sauces for 3 entrees" and I ask as usual for more sauces, the lady has the audacity to give me 1 more and then turns around not saying bye. I go to my car and per usual they forget all utensils. I go back in and the lady is visibly mad I'm back, I ask for utensils and she gives me 2 (bro I always order 3 entrees, it's for 3 people). I ask for one more and she scoffs but gives me the third. Then says "do you need anything else?" Yes ma'am, I need you to learn customer service if you're front of house. Every time I come in I'm angered by her attitude and service. NEVER EVER AGAIN!

I try to make it once a year; I had to skip a year because I was a bit late trying to secure reservations last year. I've nothing but good things to report about this dining experience, it is indeed special. I came here with my wife for her birthday this year, accompanied by our two young sons. The setting is outside as well as a mini kitchen and bar. A cool breeze was blowing off the ocean and the ad airplanes were passing over trying to sell stuff to the throngs of beach goers below. It was peaceful and a bit romantic. There is an unspoken ( For the Most Part) camaraderie amongst the patrons, we all know this is a treat not often offered. My suggestions are few but perhaps helpful: Get a first sitting reservation. It's easier and you get a lot of attention from the wonderful waitstaff prior to them getting really busy. Be a party of at least four people, you will be able to sample many more dishes that way. Bring a light jacket just in case the ocean breeze becomes chilly. The cushions on the bench seats are really comfortable, a great feature. The food, as I have implied, is delicious. Some variations on traditional Thai, but all were exquisite. Here is what we tried: Watermelon Temptation, a thirst quenching, not too sweet delight. Pretty too. Thai Iced Tea, a wonderful version Virgin Ma ka Ri ta, a superb creation Lobster Satay Toast, excellent. Crispy Pork/ Moo Tod Kluk Fhun, amazing, this one we had to order a second. Papaya Salad/ Som Tam Thai, great spices, fresh greens. Thai Dumplings, we are not typically fans of dumplings but these were awesome. Tom Kha Hed, most likely the best I've ever had. Be sure to order this no matter what. Yellow Chicken Curry/ Gaeng Ka-Ti, oh this is so good... Pad Thai Shrimp, wow, I loved this dish. Spicy Beef Pad Ka-Prow, this was a real winner, the short ribs are cooked perfectly. Thai Tea Popsicle, very nice. Coconut Ice Cream, perfectly tempered artisan treat. Mango Sticky Rice, I loved the ample mango slices that had been soaking in a very flavorful light syrup of some sort. Fried Bananas w/ Sesame Ice Cream , flavor infusion! Birthday Surprice, a white chocolate covered cake, applause all around. We attended the last weekend before the chef returns to his restaurant in Mexico. I am looking forward to being here next year!
