LA Eats｜Michelin-Selected Thai Food 🍛 Chiang Rai 🍛

Tried Chiang Rai in Long Beach today — a spot that’s been in the Michelin Guide for three consecutive years. Heard waits could be long, but on Saturday noon we only waited about 20 minutes. What we ordered: 🍛 Khao Soi Soft Shell Crab Soup Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Rich coconut curry broth with crispy soft-shell crab — every noodle soaked in flavor 😋 🍛 Chiang Rai Platter Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 A signature appetizer platter with 4 types of Thai snacks — perfect for sharing among four. 🍛 Somtum Kai Todd Rating: 🌟🌟🌟 Grilled whole chicken wings with papaya salad and sticky rice. The sticky rice felt a bit out of place — no special seasoning, didn’t pair well with the wings or salad. However, the rice went nicely with the curry soup! Wings were a bit dry — not my favorite. ✅ Verdict: Small space, but portions and flavors are solid. Most recommended: curry noodle soups (choose from chicken, beef, shrimp, crab, or pork). ⚠️ No dedicated parking — street parking only, can be tricky. 📍 3832 E Anaheim St, Long Beach, CA 90804 #ThaiFood #OrangeCounty #IrvineAreaLife #MichelinEats #LongBeachFood 🥘
