This OC Thai Spot is a Must-Try — Even with a 1-Hour Wait‼️

Manaao was named one of LA Times’ Best Restaurants of 2023 — and for good reason! As someone who’s been here 3+ times (proof in pics 📸), I’ve waited over an hour each visit — and it’s absolutely worth it! They offer Yelp Waitlist — join online to save time! 🔥 Must-Order Dishes 🦀 Khao Soi with Soft Shell Crab 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Their signature yellow curry noodles — creamy, slightly spicy curry with crispy soft-shell crab, chewy egg noodles, tangy pickled mustard greens, and crispy fried noodles. Tastes just like Bangkok! 🍛 Green Curry with Beef Rib-Eye & Roti 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 My personal favorite — crispy roti dipped in fragrant green curry with tender rib-eye beef. So good I always take leftovers home and enjoy it over rice later! 🦐 Creamy Tom Yum Shrimp 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A rich, dairy-free coconutty tom yum broth with plump shrimp and aromatic Thai herbs — absolutely irresistible. 🍜 Drunken Noodles 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Wide rice noodles stir-fried with holy basil, ginger, green peppercorns, and Thai spices — a bold, savory noodle dish with a kick! 🥩 Yum Grilled Beef Rib Eye Salad 🌟🌟🌟🌟 For beef lovers — medium-rare grilled rib-eye slices with scallions, red onion, cilantro, and a tangy-spicy dressing — fresh, juicy, and full of flavor. 📍 Manaao - Thai Comfort Food 13842 Newport Ave Ste C, Tustin, CA 92780 #WillReturnAgain #HiddenGem #UnforgettableFoodExperience #MyFoodTreasures #LosAngeles
