THAI CAFE REVIEWS

Excellent food. The service was too fast. We were just served the soup and they served the food within 2 minutes. Would have been better to give sometime to finish the soup first. Seemed kinda rushed. But the food was really good though.

Loved the food here, it is all so delicious. I especially like the Green Curry Beef, Seafood Platter, Won Ton Soup and the Spicy Shrimp Soup. All so good.

Amazing Thai Food, probably one of our favorites! Reasonable prices, great service, comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend it.

THAI KITCHEN REVIEWS

If you’re in the mood for authentic Thai flavors in Irvine, Thai Kitchen is a must-visit. The ambiance is cozy, and the service is friendly and attentive. We tried the Tom Yum Soup, which was perfectly tangy and packed with rich, aromatic flavors. The Basil Fried Rice was a highlight—fluffy, fragrant, and full of savory goodness, with just the right amount of heat. Good options for vegetarians. For dessert, the Mango Sticky Rice was a sweet, refreshing finish to the meal, with perfectly ripe mango and creamy coconut milk. The portions are generous, and the overall experience was both satisfying and delicious. Highly recommend this spot for a flavorful Thai dining experience.

We love supporting our local restaurants and have been going to Thai Kitchen for over 10 years. Situated in a strip mall off the beaten path is where you will find this gem. Our favorite is the Thai chicken noodle soup #3 which is only available during lunch hours and it's the BEST! Great family/owners who welcome you like you are part of their family - always happy to see you. Thai kitchen has vegetarian options as well and everything we have eaten, be it lunch or dinner is always flavorful. If you are considering Thai food, I hope you check out Thai Kitchen.

I’ve only gotten takeout, but the pad Thai was the best I’ve had in Orange County. Yellow curry was really tasty. Generous portions and tender chicken and pork. Definitely coming here again.

THAI SPICE REVIEWS

Great service. Good portion size for the prices. I’ve grown up going to Thai Spice and it was the first Pad Thai I ever had. I still love it. It’s a bit sweet at this location, but not bad. The food was fresh and hot. The only thing I don’t like is that they don’t let you order takeout ahead of time. You can only do ASAP.

Great food. Fast service. Nice outside eating area. Got the Chicken Pad Thai and it was on the sweeter side, but still amazing. Thai Spice Fried Rice was also delicious. $30 for two hefty sized portions. Will be coming back.

I personally love Thai Spice. Since the first time I had it ten years ago. My girl brought it from Santa Ana to me out in San Pedro and it was love at first taste.... I'm a fat ass.. lol but I'm Telling you... gotta try it to believe it A.
