LAWA Thai Cuisine

cute little restaurant! i got the pad thai (extra spicy of course) and it packed a great punch. one of the few places that doesn't play when you ask for extra spicy. i ordered over the phone and my food was ready by the time i arrived. it was clear that they have their formula on lock and the portion was fair. big pieces of chicken and tofu. it wasn't overly saucy or dry, just a solid pad thai. can't wait to come back and try the other dishes :)

Stable Thai restaurant. They got traditional, as well as fusion Thai courses.I always get their pad Thai or pad see ew-both are delicious. We also get their sea bass with avocado/curry; it comes with vegetables but I suggest getting a side of rice to eat with it. Price is fair. Service is good. Modern decor and clean overall.

Really great Thai food!This place has great Thai food. I had the pad thai and it was cooked to perfection. Not too acidic and not too sweet either. My only complaint is that the portion sizes here are pretty small. I'm used to pretty generous noodle portions from Thai restaurants but the food quantity here leaves more to be desired. Other than that everything else here was great! The decor here is wonderful. It's very modern and it has an upscale milieu that makes it seem like you're in a very fancy restaurant. Seating can be difficult if you come at a busy time (dinner time around 6PM). Luckily, there's a large shared parking lot so parking isn't really a problem here. For the vegetarians/ vegans, there's a whole menu on the back of the traditional menu that's meatless and delicious!

Loved everything about this pl. The food was delicious. We ordered their LAWA sampler appetizer and Pad Thai. Both were delicious. The noise level was perfect. The decor was fitting, the service was friendly and food came out at a reasonable time. Items were reasonably priced too. No problem finding parking.

we ordered to go, and they dont play about their spice levels! I thought I could handle the medium spice level, but I could only finish half my meal. lol - shrimp pad thai- chicken satay

The best Thai restaurant in Orange County. Pad Thai and all the food I ordered were exceptionally good. I was pretty surprised at how empty the restaurant was for having such high-quality food. I am sure this place will be busier in a couple of years.Yes, this place charges you more. However, there is a good reason, the food is better than just about every Thai place in SoCal. Also, the interior is not run down like some authentic Thai places. I would actually bring my Non-Asian friends over here. This place would be the perfect place to introduce people who aren't familiar with Thai cuisine. (if there is any)

I have very few Thai places on my list because very few of them make the grade for me past generic. They all seem to be the same with little to recommend them and tasteless. I like this one, Location: On Warner and Gothard in the same lot as an O'Reilly and Ross stores. Food: 1)Crispy fried spring rolls. If you're in the mood for something fried and cruncy, this a good one. 2) Rad Na. No idea what's in it, but this was pretty good and not as oily as I expected with a slight kick of heat. 3) Thai Rama. I would have like this more if the gravy hadn't been so loose, but taste-wise, okay for me, but not my favorite. 4) Crab fried rice. This really good in my opinion just beause it's different from what other places are offering. Not as oily as other fried rice dishes at other places but more like something you'd make at home. Summary: Service was good, but both visits were early in the evening rush so I can't say how it would be during peak times. Ambiance was modern with a touch of old school, but clean with the air rendolent of food as it should. This is obviously a small business and they've done well for themself by offering a traditional style of food without all the modern twists. I'm not Thai, but if I were looking for Thai food that a family would cook for themself, this would be it. Happy eating!!

We come here specifically for Khao soi as not all thai places serve the dish. Their food is good and fresh but I do find the prices to be on the high side. Portions sizes are moderate. Customer service is always great.

Really tastyThe papaya salad here is really good: salty sour sweet spicy and very refreshing I tried the Tom kha- also very flavorful heavy on the sweet and sour but well balanced Great for a filling healthy mealMy food was expensive though. Two items set me back $34 but it's worth it. There's maybe 2 full bowls of soup per portion

Celebrated my birthday here and all the dishes were delicious! Nicely portioned and well flavored! I loved the avocado sea bass curry. It was so unique. I will be coming back here to try their vegan options. How cute is the ice cream bday dessert and coconut! My fav!
