Nava Thai is a little gem tucked in the northern corner of the city of Orange in a nondescript strip mall. But don't let the blink-and-you'll-miss-it exterior fool you; the food inside shouldn't be overlooked.What We Ate:We ordered the Khao Soi (coconut curry noodle soup) with chicken, the garlic wings, a side of sticky rice, and a Thai iced coffee.What We Loved:Despite enjoying Thai food for most of my adult life, I'd never had Khao Soi before. Heck, I had never even heard of it before I saw it on their menu. But when I did, I knew I had to try it -- and I'm so happy I did. It was delicious! If you love egg noodles and Thai curries, this is the perfect combination. The sticky rice was good, made even better when combining it with the garlic wings.What We Liked:The garlic wings were good ... but also quite salty. And of the 5 wings we got, 2 of them were overly chewy and difficult to get off the bone. Fortunately, the other 3 wings were melt off the bone and enjoyable.What We Liked Less:The Thai iced coffee was solid, but tasted like it came from a can, powder, or concentrate. If you're hankering for caffeine, it should suffice. But if you're looking for something more authentic, look elsewhere.What We Saw:The interior is kinda small, with a max of about 8 tables, and has a weird layout -- probably because it was converted from a different type of business. But it's clean and adorned with Thai decorations. Plus there are TVs showing a video of gorgeous Thai scenery. Outside, the parking is kinda limited and also oddly laid out due to the triangular plot of land of the strip mall. Fortunately, it's never super packed when we were there, so we easily found a spot.What the Service Was Like:The servers were friendly and knowledgeable. They didn't check up on us too often (typical of Asian restaurants) and we had to flag down our server a couple of times. But they were always quick to help when we did.Overall:Nava Thai has quickly become one of our top 5 Thai restaurants in Orange County. The food is good, the service is friendly, and the pricing remains reasonable in an age when we're overcharged for everything. I WILL be returning!

If you want simple Thai comfort food, Nava is the place to go. It's a small but mighty location. Service is great and food is yummy. I wouldn't say that the food is the best Thai food I've ever had. But it's consistent and it keeps me coming back. I always enjoy their khao soi. I usually like the crunchy noodles on the side so they stay crunchy. The coconut broth was creamy, salty and sweet. They chicken is fork tender and very flavorful. I also ordered their garlic chicken and sticky rice so I can have them together. And oh man that was a really great combo!The only thing I didn't enjoy was the Thai iced coffee. It didn't have any depth to it. The plus side, I thought everything was reasonably price. Overall, the quality and price will keep me coming back for more.

Got food to go. The place was clean and the lady who took our order was nice. The food came out fairly quickly and it was still hot when I got home. We ordered thai tea, pad thai, massaman curry, pineapple fried rice, bbq ribs, and received complimentary cream cheese wontons for an order over 50$ which was a lovely touch.Thai tea had a nice strong flavor with the right amount of sweetness and creaminess.Pad thai was nice and saucy and had plenty of veggies. It was also loaded with chicken and shrimp.Massaman curry had a wonderful flavor that was a perfect combination of sweet and spicy. Potatoes and carrots add extra textures and heightens the dish. It came with a serving of white rice that does a great job of absorbing the flavors and pairs well.Pineapple fried rice was a delightful mix of savory and sweet! It had a generous amount of chicken chunks and cashews add a nice crunch to your bite. The pineapples add a burst of freshness.Bbq ribs were tender and the meat was practically falling off the bone. It was marinated in an array of spices that made it so flavorful.Cream cheese wontons were crispy with a good amount of filling. The sweet and sour sauce provided rounded out the palate. Thanks for a great lunch meal!

This is my third time coming to this restaurant and it's quickly become my lunch spot! Consistently flavorful dishes and friendly staff. They are very attentive and give honest feedback. My friend was going to order extra noodles for her tom yum noodle dish, but our waitress asked, "Are you sure? The dish comes with a lot of noodles already." My friend trusted her feedback and sure enough, there were plenty of noodles to enjoy in her soup! I tried a bit and the broth had the perfect amount of sour and spice. I ordered tom kai for lunch and it was pleasantly subtle sweet from the coconut and mild spice, the waitress asked for spice level of course, I just can't handle too much spice. Authentic Thai cuisine, highly recommend! The restaurant is pretty small with 5-6 tables, clean facility. Be careful in the parking lot, as there is a huge speed bump that can damage your car, so please drive slowly! The front parking lot is limited, but there is additional parking on the side of the restaurant.

Great food and service. We had the Tom yum soup, panang curry, pineapple curry and a couple of other curries and they were all delicious. My favorite was the panang curry.After the meal we topped it off with the mango sticky rice which was one of the best I've had in a long time. Definitely recommend this place.
