    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!

    Even my tummy already full still I want to Eat more and more. Thank you Thailand be Happy. I'm very happy

    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

    Steamed Pork Dumplings

    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.

The vibe is cozy and welcoming, with a steady buzz of customers that shows just how popular this spot is. My fiancé got the iced sweet cream latte and absolutely loved it! smooth, perfectly balanced sweetness, and the espresso was top-notch. I went with the iced Americano topped with banana cold foam, and wow, it was a game changer! The banana foam was creamy, flavorful, and not overly sweet, pairing beautifully with the bold espresso. Both drinks were prepared and refreshed us instantly. The only minor downside is parking, which can be a bit tricky, but the location is clearly thriving with tons of foot traffic and business out front, so it's totally understandable. Once you're inside, the excellent drinks and friendly service more than make up for it. We'll definitely be back soon highly recommend this place if you're looking for quality coffee and a great local atmosphere! 4.5 stars in my personal opinion

    Of course you would hear they're going with a space theme when you see the name of this boba shop…read more Oddly enough, i've been to a few boba shops with the same theme lol. Although, first impression, I really liked how clean it is with great lighting and seating! The one thing that really bumped up my review for this place was how CLEAN the restroom is. Especially with their fancy toilet that it's foot sensor? that's crazy. Definitely a top-notch bathroom cause I felt so safe in there lol. Anyways, ordering was easy, which you can just place it at the kiosk. I got the matcha jasmine oolong tea (with 30% sugar and jasmine oolong jelly) since it was most reviewed here on Yelp. It was really good! Very refreshing and the right amount of sweetness. The matcha could be bolder, but I thought it was still a nice touch to have with the drink. The Jasmine Oolong Jelly was a lot denser than I imagined, kind of like the texture of a rainbow jelly (but not as bouncy), but it was still pretty delicious! The overall flavors were pretty good for a boba drink. I was initially intrigued by their durian coffee, but their tea here is actually pretty good. Not sure how their coffee is here, but will definitely try next time if in the mood for coffee! Also the cups here are pretty cute! They pay attention to even the texture of the cup since it's inspired by the moon.

    We ordered from here for the first time through their website, and my husband picked up the drinks…read more We were looking for something different from the usual Ding Tea, Tastea, and other chain boba spots. After seeing several positive Yelp reviews, we decided to give this place a try. My husband wasn't a fan of the location because the plaza was extremely crowded, but he did mention that the shop itself had a friendly, trendy atmosphere. The staff greeted him right away, and the drink presentation was impressive. The takeout bag was a nice touch, and we were even gifted eco-friendly gloves from AnEco as part of a sustainability promotion--something we can all appreciate. As for the drinks, my husband ordered the Matcha Cloud Jasmine Milk Tea, and I ordered the Jasmine Oolong Milk Tea, both at 60% sweetness. The sweetness level was spot-on, but we were both hoping for a stronger tea flavor. I'd rate the drinks a solid 3/5. Our total came to $15.46 for two drinks, which is pretty standard these days. Overall, the customer service was excellent, and the drinks were decent. However, we're still undecided about returning, as we don't feel the drinks alone are enough to justify navigating the busy, overcrowded plaza.

The café is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking, so getting in and out was easy. The interior is bright and cute with a cozy atmosphere. Even though I wasn't dining in, it seemed like a nice place to sit in. Service was also friendly. I ordered the Ube Coco Latte and the Matcha Soufflé Pancake. The latte was rich, creamy, and smooth. The ube and coconut complemented each other well without either flavor being too overpowering. My only disappointment was that they don't offer a decaf option. The Matcha Soufflé Pancake took a little while to prepare, which is expected for soufflé pancakes. The pancakes were a little more moist than I personally prefer, but likely because I took it to-go. The mango purée was easily my favorite part, I honestly could have eaten it by itself. Combined with the foam and the subtle matcha flavor, everything came together nicely without being overly sweet. Overall, it's a good spot if you're looking for a café with unique drinks and desserts. I'd like to dine in next time I go!

I originally wanted to try the Brown Sugar Coffee Latte, but they were out of brown sugar, so I ended up going with the Spanish Latte instead. It was fine, just nothing that really stood out or made me think, "I need to come back for this." The tuna sandwich was probably the highlight. It was good, fresh, and enjoyable, but again, not exactly something I'd be thinking about afterward. Overall, Brew Story is a perfectly decent place to grab a drink and a bite, but I think there's room for the menu to be a little more creative and memorable. 4 stars feels right good, but not quite great. Willing to update my score if I order better drinks or have a better experience regarding quality and overall flavor on my next visit. People really swear this is elite and / or one of the best in all of OC but it doesn't really reach the ayer , Airoma or Tatys level for me.

Now it was pretty early in the morning, around 7:00 a.m., I would have thought it would have been busier on a Saturday but there was a few people outside and a couple people inside so my order process was super quick. As I've said many times before, it's the people behind the counter that make the difference and this place was nice. Friendly, always greeted with a smile, and just generally helpful. Even though the drive-thru was fairly busy, they were able to get my order out in a pretty quick amount of time. Which is always nice, especially if you are on the run or going somewhere. Bottom line? It seems like you can't throw a rock down the street and not hit 15 Starbucks, however, when you find a good one it definitely should be added to your list. This one is definitely added to my list of will return to again.
