UPDATE Been living in the IE for 5 years now and this place, OMG, is STILL the best Thai restaurant I've had!!! My husband and I still get about almost the same things and I swear, they never miss! We're certified BIG BACKS so we always get 2-6 dishes every time we are here (we love left overs in this household lol). Their food palette is right up our alley and portion is pretty good. Been coming here for 5 years now (about 1-3 every month) & the flavors are very consistent & service is always good. We always come back to this place bc it's the best. We love it here! read more

The service was good, but unfortunately the food was disappointing. The seafood tom yum had an unpleasant taste, and the seafood did not seem fresh. The noodles and curry rice were also too sweet for our liking. Overall, the staff provided good service, but the food quality and flavor need improvement. read more

Busy Mother's Day but the food was great. Waited for 15 mins. Ordered papaya salad, beef jerky , fried chicken wonton and trio fish. The server was great. Ambiance is ok but airy. One of my favorite Thai restaurant in Rancho . read more

This is our go to when we craved Thai food. The flavors are good and the service is fast and efficient. The restaurant is spacious and clean. My only complaint is the portions are on the smaller size, some "shrinkflation". The spicy beef salad, drunken noodles, and fried chicken are my go to's when we come. read more

My wife and I stopped by for lunch today. She ordered Pad See Ew with shrimp and I had the Pineapple fried rice with chicken. The food was good as usual but we saved some to have later for dinner. The server offered to box our leftovers. We appreciated the service. However when we opened the boxes my wife had one shrimp left and I had less than half of what I saved. So did the server eat the rest or was it recycled? Very questionable business practice for a restaurant. Don't let them box your food. Do it yourself.... read more

Have you eaten rice yet? My favorite Thai saying, it's literally how you ask ,"how are you?" The rice here, the pad Thai, the chicken satay, all fabulous! The curry however: too soupy and watery! I prefer my curry thick, like a thick sauce/gravy basically. We sent it back to be thickened but I think that there was a language barrier because when they brought it back to us, it was still exactly the same, but the lady was smiling so happily that we didn't say anything. It still tasted very good though. The ambience is laid back, not a fancy place. Fake plastic plants on the tables. Hip-hop and other random American music play in the restaurant, not the traditional Thai that I usually hear in Thai restaurants. The place was very crowded and busy, a good sign. I have to say that the shrimp pad Thai was absolutely fantastic. They usually make the pad Thai too dry with not enough sauce and it was very saucy, very yummy. I couldn't stop eating it, and that peanut sauce. ......Oh my God!!! It was so good, we asked for extra peanut sauce twice. Price wise it's not too bad, less than i expected. It was close to $65 for everything. read more

The 1/2 of the food was good 1/2 was average or could be better. The highlight of our dish was the fried fish. The curry was very thin and soupy. Not what we are used to. Normally, curries are thicker. The fried rice was good. The rest was average. The service was excellent. The ambiance was inviting and clean. read more

When we ate lunch there today, the person serving us offered to pack the leftovers for us. When we got home half of the leftovers were missing. I had pad see ew with shrimp and my husband had pineapple fried rice with chicken. I had several shrimp that I cut up to have tonight for dinner since I had the leftovers. Only one shrimp was left in the dish. My husband had a portion of his missing as well and one piece of my shrimp was in his to go box and one piece of his chicken was in mine. read more

amazing amazing service, my cup was never empty! Food was seasoned perfectly and food came out very quick. Still can't get over the great service. read more

This place deserves love! Great traditional Thai food and good service. Plenty of space on a Saturday for lunch. Classics like, pad Thai, pad see ew, drunken noodle, curry fried fried with pineapple, and yellow curry were all on point and tasty. read more

Food was amazing, staff is very welcoming and kind. My husband ordered the pad se ew and spicy fried rice, both he loved and were decent portion sizes! I ordered the yellow chicken curry, although very tasty, I only had 3 small pieces/bites of chicken in the whole container. It was so yummy I just wish we got more meat for what we paid, it wasn't filling enough for me. We would go here again and try more items. read more

Some of the best Thai food in Rancho Cucamonga, they have the best staff and cleanest restaurant. Don't forget to order that Green Curry read more

My wife and I have tried a lot of Thai spots around the area and Thippawan Thai Restaurant is easily our favorite. The curry is sweet, spicy, creamy, and just flat out good every single time. The cashew chicken was great too, but the mango sticky rice is honestly what keeps bringing us back. Most places give you a tiny portion like they're rationing mangoes during a national shortage, but this place actually gives you enough to enjoy. Great food, great service, and consistently one of the best meals around. read more

I ordered the crab fried rice and was disappointed. The portion size was small compared with the same order from Thai restaurants in OC. Also it lacked spices. I'm used to Thai food being spicy. I get crab can be pricey but they could have given me more fried rice. I paid over $20 for a dish that didn't taste like a good Thai dish. So my search for Thai food in the IE continues. read more

I chose this place for my birthday lunch and it did not disappoint. The customer service was excellent, the food was delicious, and everything came out quickly. The staff was attentive the entire time, checking in on us, refilling drinks, and keeping the table cleared. Overall, such a great experience. 10/10, and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Authentic Thai food. Been coming here since open. The papaya salad and orange chicken with pad Thai is my personal order love it

First time I came here and dined in alone. It was a male server and he was very kind and quick. Today, I came in for the second time and we had a female server and she was so sweet! The place was clean... Food came out quickly and it was so good! I got the full portion of chicken pad thai with a side of jasmine rice and the second plate was medium spice chicken fried rice. Definitely coming back for thirds! read more

Food was very flavorful. Usually at other places it's either just sweet or just spicy, not too dynamic, but here, you can taste every spice and it was so delicious!! The service was also amazing, very friendly staff as we were greeted by almost every employee and fast service, besides food which was understandable because everything was made fresh. Am 100% coming back read more

We recently visited Thippawan Thai Restaurant and had an great dining experience that I can't wait to share. We started with the crispy Calamari, that just sets up your palate for something good to come. The Crispy Fish Fillet served with an apple and cashew sauce. The combination was delightful, as the sweetness of the apple perfectly complemented the crispy texture of the fish. It was a refreshing start to our meal. Next, I indulged in my all-time favorite, the Beef Panang Curry. As always, it did not disappoint! The rich, creamy sauce paired beautifully with the tender beef, creating a comforting dish that I could enjoy time and again. The Seafood Tom Kha was another highlight. If you love the flavors of coconut and lemongrass, this dish is a must-try. It was bursting with flavor and the seafood was fresh and well-prepared, making every spoonful a delight. Lastly, we ordered the Fried Rice, which was cooked to perfection. The rice was fluffy and flavorful, serving as a great accompaniment to our main dishes. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations with their delicious offerings and vibrant flavors.Friendly staff and great customer service, clean restaurant. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Thai cuisine! read more

Cozy Thai food! Had a small wait time for Mother's Day but they were very popular. Nice but nothing stellar read more

This Thai restaurant stands out as the best in town. We always start with an order of Tom Kha Soup to share, and the flavor never disappoints. This soup is a required order every time we dine here. The pineapple Fried Rice is another dish we consistently enjoy. While we sometimes order the Pad Thai, which is delicious, we have recently been opting for the yellow curry, as it is perfectly suited to the colder weather. The spices and flavors are outstanding. We also highly recommend the cashew nut chicken, and their wonton soup is not to be missed. Th servers are always polite and friendly as well. The restaurant is clean and spacious. read more

The service was great. However, the Thai yellow curry wasn't as good as we would have expected. It was cold, the potato was under cooked in the curry. A little disappointed for the curry. Highly recommend all of the Thai noodle dishes. We also got the pad see ew, tastes fantastic and authentic. I wish we only got the noodles and not the curry. My girl got the curry and she not happy with it. Girl not happy, me not happy... Otherwise, the Thai pork jokey was tender and the parking was convenient. Good for family gatherings and small dates. Just stick with the noodles, don't do the curry. read more

We've been looking for a good Thai restaurant. My fiance & I travel up North often and one of our favorite dishes to have when we are up there is Thai food absolutely delicious . So it's been a hit and miss the last few times we've tried our local Thai restaurants. There good but we were wanting what we experience up north . Well neither to say I'm absolutely delighted to say we found the perfect place. Thippawan has a great selection on there menu. There food omg you have to taste . Everything we ordered was on point flavor and all . I recommend it to any one whether is your first time or not there food is authentic . Oh almost forget their customer service was polite and sweet . read more

I LOVE this place. I come here monthly over lunch from my office. Family run, always delicious and friendly atmosphere!!!

Great food and prompt service. This place has become a regular go-to for my family and me, and for both lunch and dinner. Everything is flavorful and fresh. We haven't found anything on the menu we wouldn't recommend! read more

This place shocked me honestly. I was not expecting the interior of the restaurant to not only be extremely spacious, but modern as well. The service was incredible and the food was tasty. My only note is the curry was a bit too sweet compared to what I was anticipating, but I truly don't see a reason neverto return. read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about this place. Best pad Thai I've had in the area! Service is quick and the staff is very caring! I love this place! read more

Thippawan is very good if you consider that there's a smaller Thai population this far east of LA. The servers are super friendly and the restaurant is very spacious and clean. The first thing I noticed while here was how clean the bathrooms were. It's a strange comment, but if you've ever been to some restaurants in LA, the bathrooms are awful. And better yet, if the bathrooms at Thippawan are this clean, I can only imagine how clean their kitchen prep is when making our food. Big A+ for that. The food itself is very basic Thai cuisine with your standard Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and Thai Fried Rice offerings. The food is very good, but nothing that will blow your mind. We really enjoyed the food. And if you check in with Yelp, they give you a complimentary Thai Iced Tea. Overall, good restaurant. read more

so good!!! Such a hole-in-wall place worth a try. Food was fabulous, service was quick, helpful, and super kind. Our order: Egg rolls - so crunchy, delicious sauce, great amount of filling Pad Thai w/shrimp: perfectionnnnnn Yellow seafood curry: so rich, plenty of seafood. They even realized they forgot potatoes and brought us a mini bowl of potatoes in the curry. So thoughtful! Really wonderful. I wish the place was aesthetically more pleasing. It's a little dark and bland, but the food is all the aesthetics you need! read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a while and I'm so glad I finally had a chance to try it. The staff were so friendly and greeted me right away. I ordered the following: Pad See Ew Chicken (Lunch Special) Thippawan Fried Rice (Medium) Thai Ice Tea The Pad See Ew was delicious! The noodles were so fresh and the Chinese broccoli was cooked perfectly - the right amount of crunch without the bitterness. And had that nice char on the noodles that is expected when ordering Pad See Ew. Honestly probably the best Pad See Ew I've had in a while, especially in the IE! The fried rice was good, but def not the best I've had. Favor is decent, spice level was just right, but the only thing I would change is the egg. If the egg was a salted duck egg it would have been so much better! Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and will be back. read more

Update since my review in 2021: Prices are now about $15 per item. Serving sizes are good. Both dishes we got (pad see ew and spicy fried rice) were both good, but a bit sweeter than we'd prefer. We asked for the spicy fried rice to be mild, but it wasn't spicy at all in the end. Great table service! read more

Checked out this amazing Thai restaurant open on Easter Sunday and it was great, service was very quick and friendly. As soon as you walk in you're greeted and seated right away. Enjoyed some fresh delicious food which was brought out in less than 15 minutes you'll have your whole order. Started off with Thai pork jerky, which was so good and fresh to order, had a very tasty full of flavor sauce for dipping. Also enjoyed traditional pad see ew which was so delicious. Couldn't forget the soup , enjoyed Tom Yum soup which was full of amazing flavors. Everything was perfect. This is a really good restaurant to bring the family, sharing size portions. The waiter was great very friendly and helped us choose the appetizer. Comfortable family environment!Definitely recommend if you're with the family in the area! read more
