    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

    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 was looking forward to trying this place, but it was a real disappointment. The Pad Thai was really bland. Barely any sauce on it.

Since it already took us nearly an hour to get here, I decided to wait for it anyway. To my surprise, the soufflé actually arrived in less than an hour, which was appreciated. Unfortunately, the Ube flavor itself was a little disappointing for my personal taste, as I felt it didn't pair as well with the soufflé texture as expected. Perhaps next time I'd try a different flavor instead of the Ube. Decor was minimalist though and place looked quite cozy.

    First review of 2026!…read more It's time to finally share my favorite matcha spot in all of OC (atm). While the first few visits were for their coffee drinks, it wasn't until they brought in the MAMA Latte that we started getting addicted. The drink is quite pricey, but it's one of the best matcha drinks I've personally had. It packs a punch of flavor, but is also smooth and creamy at the same time. My wife has also started trying their other variations such as the Cookie Butter Matcha and Creme Brulee Matcha (she enjoys the former one a lot). The lines are still long but definitely worth the wait. Will definitely be back!

But, Brew Story stands out for a few reasons: 1. Parking is easy and free in this strip mall. For me, this is a huge perk. 2. The variety is incredible, they have everything from a cookie butter latte to strawberry shortcake matcha and black sesame soft top. There's just so many options here that even if I always want to get the black sesame soft top matcha (which I do) there's always something new to try. 3. Lots of seating! Why do some places have like 1-2 tables? I want to sit and relax or do work and stay a while (and btw will order another drink while I do so)! There's a long table here for big groups, a few smaller ones, a more loungey area and a counter with bar stools. The one thing you might not love about this spot if you're used to a quick mobile order and pick up with no wait coffee situation is that it is a bit of a wait. I wouldn't come here if you're in a rush. Other than that, it's a great spot to enjoy a yummy pastry and flavored latte.

It looked like the contents were simply transferred (partially) into a different cup with a ton of additional milk added. When we asked again for it to be remade properly, Cassie came out and mocked my wife, which made the situation even more uncomfortable. It was a very disappointing experience overall.
