Thai Avenue

Thai Avenue is my go-to spot everytime there's a crave for Thai food. I've been here multiple times ever since they've opened. This is also where I take my friends from out of town for a quick and delicious meal. A local, family-owned, cozy Thai spot in the middle of Vietnamese dominance area. Service here is always top as everyone is super friendly, treating me like part of the family.I usually get the usual crying tiger, pad see ew, som tum, panang curry, tom kha, and thai boat noodle. Everything is delicious and quite flavorful, especially thai boat noodle which is my all time favorite. Though I've been noticing the food quality has gone down based on the usual dishes I order. Might have been a "miss" day for them, and there are definitely rooms for improvement.Thai Avenue is a good Thai spot for group or family dinner as you get to try different dishes. Out of all Thai food places in GG/OC, Thai Avenue is up there!

lI was in the plaza to pick up an order from another restaurant when a sudden craving for mango sticky rice brought me to Thai Avenue. They were about to close in 15 minutes, but I decided to pop in and ask if the kitchen could still prepare a to-go order or if it was too late.Initially, they let me know the kitchen had already closed, so I thanked them and left. But to my surprise, one of the workers ran after me and invited me back--they went out of their way to accommodate my last-minute request, which was so thoughtful and kind.The sticky rice and mango were tasty, though the coconut sauce was a bit chunky. It smelled fine, but the texture wasn't ideal. Even so, I appreciated the effort, and the flavors didn't disappoint.I'd definitely be willing to try their other dishes if I'm in the area again--especially with such kind service.

1. The noodle soups were delicious with lots of flavors, and it was the perfect portion! The wings were fried nicely with a tempura-like batter! The grilled squid was definitely huge!2.

Wow, we really enjoyed our Thai lunch today. Everything, Kor Moo Yang, som tum, beef boat noodle and basil fried rice. Staff were super friendly and came by often to check on us. Ambiance is cozy, comfortable and relaxing restaurant. Highly recommended as a Go To Place for Thai food! We'll definite come back soon to try other dishes.

I have to say the Boat Noodle Soup was delicious. As I expected, it's creamy because of the beef blood and savory flavors. Lao papaya salad is the classic knife chopped in to shreds has more texture. I love the Thai egg plant and green beans in the salad

My family and I have been in the great search for good Thai food and this place left us disappointed. Ordered tom yum soup, pad Thai with tofu, beef salad, salty fish fried rice, fried red snapper, soft shell crab, and pad cha catfish. The star of the meal was the soft shell crab - spectacularly crispy and soft. Tom yum soup was spicy, sour, and hot. Wish it had more of the veggies. On the other end of dinner, the beef in the beef salad was cold and chewy. As if it was cut in the morning and left to be a topping later on in the day. The pad Thai with tofu was cooked with thin rice noodles and had no egg, no nuts, no chives. Salty fish fried rice was not salty and was missing any "fishiness" to it. Pad cha catfish tasted very similar to a homey Vietnamese catfish dish. I'm not sure if I'll give this place a try again. Maybe.

This was one of the very few total misses from the Yelp reviews. I was there for lunch and ordered a beef curry, and the beef seemed like slices of roast beef that were just flavorless. The curry was, ok... I guess, but certainly nothing that makes up for just an uninspiring way to add the beef. I will not be back.

Best Thai food in Garden Grove! These were made in traditional home style, so this is authentic as you can get. Everything was so flavorful and so delicious. Their papaya salad is hands down one of the best papaya salad I've tried!

It was just over 2 weeks ago we frequented this fantastic Thai restaurant and we are back already !This time we are 4 people and ordered 12 dishes (included two orders of mango sticky rice) and took only a small amount food to go at the end. All the dishes were delicious. The only dish we found wasn't as popular with our palate was the Pad Thai - we found it a little bit on the sweet side. Everything else was almost inhaled instantly.We ordered -Tom Yum with fresh water shrimpChicken satayCrab fried riceRad na with porkPenang chickenSpicy eggplantCrying tigerFried shrimp with tamarind sauceGarlic fried soft shell crabPad ThaiMango sticky rice (2 orders)I think the 4 of us combined have a healthy appetite for good food . I was too hungry to remember photographing every dish so missed some photo displays. Almost forgot to mention the service is always very good. Very attentive and always make me feel welcomed. We'll be back (soon enough).

Food here is amazing!!! The server we had was very accommodating and gave good recommendations. Will definitely come back.
