About Thai Dara
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Best Thai food in South OC by far!! Not my first time here and I'm an avid Thai food eater. Their pad Thai is probably my favorite in Orange county, lots of sauce and great flavors. And their chicken is bomb in everything including the tom kah soup, which is also top 2 in my book of over 100 different Thai restaurants. Great service, they are nice and I can't say enough! Keep up the great work!
Very friendly service, fast and DELICIOUS thai food. Every detail in interior is so Thai Vibe😍 Definitely will come back soon
We tried the Vegetable Tom Kha and Shrimp Pad Thai. Both were good! They also gave us a complimentary keyring! ☺️
Thai Dara is a gem! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy meal. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced and full of flavor and The crispy spring rolls were a great start. The service was friendly and attentive. I can’t wait to return! Highly recommend!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Thai Dara, and I have to say that it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the efficiency of the service. The wait was less than 5 minutes, which was impressive considering it was a busy New Year's Day. Once we were seated, the service was lightning fast, with the staff being attentive and catering to our needs. One thing that really stood out to us was the restaurant's willingness to accommodate my girlfriend's dairy allergy. They were very helpful in checking the ingredients in each dish to ensure that she could safely enjoy her meal. We opted to dine in, and were struck by the beautiful flowers on each table (and even in the bathroom). It was a nice touch that added to the overall ambiance of the restaurant. The drinks hit our table in less than 2 minutes of ordering them, and our food arrived only 7 minutes later. I ordered the Panang Curry with chicken, which was delicious, and my girlfriend ordered the Pad See Ew, which she said was equally delicious. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were very reasonable, providing good value for the quality of the food with enough left over to take home. The restaurant itself is located directly on PCH, and while there is outdoor seating available, we chose to sit indoors. The chairs were padded, and the decor was traditional and inviting. The seating was a bit tight, but the large mirror on the side of the room made the space feel larger than it was. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the staff seemed to take pride in their work. Throughout our meal, the waitress checked in on us multiple times, taking a genuine interest in the guests at all her tables, asking them about their day and lives. She was friendly and efficient, and it was clear that she enjoyed her job. When it came time to pay, the process was smooth and seamless, with no issues or delays. Overall, our experience at Thai Dara was excellent. The service was fast and efficient, the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the food was delicious. If you're in the mood for some delicious Thai food, I would highly recommend giving this Thai restaurant a try. The location is convenient, with ample parking available, and the exterior of the restaurant is beautifully maintained, with a fresh and welcoming appearance. Inside, the restaurant is clean. The bathrooms are also clean and well-maintained, which is always a plus in my book. Overall, Thai Dara is a fantastic place to enjoy a delicious and surprisingly affordable meal, and I will definitely be returning in the future. In addition to the great food and service, I also have to mention the convenience of the restaurant's takeout options. Whether you're in the mood to dine in or take your food to go, Thai Dara has you covered. Whether you're craving a delicious curry, some savory pad see ew like us, or any of the other delicious dishes on their menu, Thai Dara is the place to be. In conclusion, I have to say that Thai Dara is a top-notch Thai restaurant that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious and affordable Thai food. Our bill came to $33 (2 meals + waters) and I left a $10 tip. The service is fast and efficient, the staff are friendly and accommodating, and the food is simply amazing. Whether you're in the mood to dine in or take your food to go, Thai Dara has something for everyone, and I can't wait to visit again soon.
