    Thai Fried Rice with Chicken.
    Vanny K.

    A hidden gem dishing out real authentic Thai cuisine. Did a little last minute Xmas shopping at Westminster Mall, and came across Thailan Be Happy. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. In the times of high inflation, the staff pointed out to me today's specials, and explained to me that 80% of their dishes were $12.99 with your choice of Thai ice tea or bottle water included. As great as this sounds, I was still hesitant, because delicious Thai food in the OC doesn't exist, but boy was i surprised. While I was looking at the menu, someone's order came out and boy did I quickly realized this isn't your basic water down Thai restaurant. I ordered the pork belly, thai fried rice, pad thai with shrimp, red panang curry, and the spicy noodle with chicken. Yes, each plate was $12.99 and came with a drink each. Let me tell you, I judge every Thai restaurant by how they make their Thai ice tea, and the drink definitely didn't disappoint. You can tell it's the real deal, because they don't overly drown it in creamer because they cheeped out on buying the real tea. If this was a prelude to my dinner, I knew I was in for a treat. Every dish was delicious, authentic and rival Thai Town in West LA. I had a special request, and the chef came out and told me that she recently took over ownership and is hoping to bring authentic Thai cuisine to the OC area. She was such a sweetheart, and even understood my request, and gave us Thai sticky rice for free. PS, my request was if she could make my red curry, with the pork belly that I ordered instead of chicand let me tell you, that dish was top MF tier. Chef's Next time I'm in the area, you already know what my choice will be.

    Just got some appetizers type food. Very good. Loved the sauce for the spring roll. Would come back when I'm in the area.

    I was skeptical in the beginning. But the food is cheap and very tasty. Order to make and the food is hot and fresh

    This is my favorite place in this mall's food court. So glad it hasn't closed, though new owner now. Highly recommend the spicy basil chicken and rice. You can ask for what level of spicy. Good, strong flavor but not too salty or oily. The big portion is already worth $12. But right now they are giving away a free water bottle or Thai tea for any $12 order, so it's a great deal! Also, the new owner or worker there, she is great and very friendly. They have other deals, too, check them out in these pics. So glad the basil chicken is still delicious and they didn't change the recipe. I will be back to try the orange chicken!! (I prefer the old way, rice and chicken separate so we get more sauce and no mushy rice, but that's ok.) Btw, if the old owners (and the previous owners, too) are reading this. I just wanted to say "hello!" and I'll miss you guys and thank you for the good food and good service for so many years! I am the girl who usually ordered spicy basil chicken in recent years. I would come back after a few months usually. I am Asian and have a round face. The lady (owner?) recognized me and always was very nice to me each time I was back. Thank you!! It's been really depressing to see this mall slowly die and more and more shops close the last few years. It's been dying for a long time. but since 2023, when they announced the plans for the future shutdown of the mall, it's been worse. But I guess it's better to change it into something useful, many people can live here, rather than just keep it a sad, dead mall where barely anybody shops there. Anyway, I'll miss this mall and this Thai place, and some other shops, whenever they finally shut down (I think sometime this year?). Thanks for all the good food and good memories!! It's a sad ending but hopefully will be a happy, exciting new beginning for the people who will live here in the future.

    Shrimp Pad Thai
    Cyndi T.

    Each of my kids wanted something different for lunch so we came to the Food Court. We ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai, and it was ready in under 10 minutes. It was still steaming when we opened it. It was a delicious dish. The shrimp was cooked just right, and the noodles were yummy. We would definitely order again Love that it is family owned too!

    Chicken. PAD Thai

    Nice friendly staff here in Westminster mall. Food excellent, great customer service.

    Dumplings were crispy and delicious.

    Tried Thailand Food Be Happy for the first time, and it did not disappoint! I got the Pad Thai with beef and the curry chicken, and both were seriously good. The Pad Thai had great flavor, it was cooked on the spot. Just the right mix of sweet, savory, and a little tangy. The beef was tender, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The curry chicken was rich and creamy, with a nice kick of spice. The owner was really sweet and friendly. Definitely coming back to try more dishes. Highly recommend!

    Pad thai
    Dylan K.

    One of the few restaurants alive in westminster mall and let me tell you... they might SINGLE HANDEDLY revive westminster mall with how bomb their food is. Arguably the best pad thai i've had in orange county and i've had a fair amount. New owner is incredibly nice and lovely. I would highly recommend anyone craving thai food to come and give this place a try

    I've got to say, the food and the Thai Tea were so incredible. I'm so excited to have found this place. The two woman working there were very sweet and loving. They got the out to me pretty fast. It tasted fresh and authentic as well. You've got to give them a try. I know this mall isn't full of many people, but the food here is worth the trip.

I loved that same attention to detail on the loaded fries too. The perfectly caramelized onions on top added so much flavor and made them feel like more than just your typical loaded fries. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and thoughtfully put together. It's one of those little hidden gems you could easily pass by without realizing how good the food inside actually is. Definitely a spot that deserves way more attention! Also the owners are SO nice!

I ordered this through Doordash (apparently this place is delivery only?) It was $10-ish dollars (before the Delivery/Doordash fees) for a Chandler Burger and fries. The Chandler Burger was pretty good, two smashed down beef patties with American cheese. It's a bit on the small side (think a double cheeseburger from Mcdonalds) but overall good. You can add on vegetables and more cheese for more money but decided not to do so. They do give you a solid amount of fries to compensate for the small burger. They are crinkle cut and crunchy, just how I like it. I'm not a fan of seasoning on fries, so I'm glad there was an option for unseasoned crinkle fries. If this place is ever dine-in (fuck these lockdowns) I'll definitely come more often. Right now I can't justify paying double the price of the actual metal through these delivery apps.

Everything I've had here has been great, but the shrimp is easily the standout for me. It's juicy, flavorful, and honestly one of those proteins that I have a hard time not adding to whatever I order. Case in point: the custom nachos in my photo. I went with both carne asada and shrimp, and that combination absolutely worked. The juices from the shrimp pair perfectly with the carne asada, salsa verde, and queso blanco sauce. You get the richness from the beef and queso, some brightness and heat from the salsa verde, and then that juicy shrimp brings everything together. It's a loaded plate, but somehow I had no problem making my way through it. If you're trying Chronic Tacos for the first time, I'd recommend going one of two ways: build yourself a carne asada and shrimp nacho plate like this one, or grab the Surf & Turf Burrito. Either way, don't skip the shrimp. The only thing worth keeping in mind is the seating. There isn't a ton of space inside, so a party larger than four will probably be more comfortable on the outdoor patio, which is shared with the neighboring restaurant. It's never been enough of an issue to take away from the experience for me, but it's good to know before showing up with a bigger group. Between the consistently fresh food, friendly service, and some seriously good shrimp, this Chronic Tacos stays firmly in my rotation.
