Win Thai is my FAVORITE Thai restaurant in Orange County. I'm Vietnamese (and from NYC) and love Thai food but I find that most Thai restaurants in the US (including some even in NYC) produce bland concoctions that bear no resemblance to real Thai food.
Win Thai is different - their cooking is very home-cooked tasting and fresh. I LOVE their cashew chicken (which I order with spinach or broccoli for an extra $1), but have also enjoyed several other dishes from their large menu (most items are under $10), including their pad thai and their wonderful seafood and mixed veggies dish. I like my food spicy (Southeast Asian spicy), but my husband prefers his food less so. I like that Win Thai can cook hot, hot, hot dishes not so hot (to accommodate my husband's taste buds) but still yummy and not lacking any of the flavor that I associate with real Thai food.
The staff are friendly and the booths are big and comfortable even if the decor is somewhat hole-in-the-wall-ish. But even the unexciting decor is fine with me, so long as the delicious food...
Read moreHad to seriously downgrade based on my experience last night... It was my birthday, and a friend and I had a late start to the evening. I suggested we go to Win Thai, based on my first trip there, which had gone fine. Thier hours (online and on the door) state that they are open until 9:30pm... We arrived at 9:04. Upon entry, the woman at the host station asked if we were picking up, and when we stated that we were not, we were refused service! "Oh, 9:30 is for pick up only... Dining closes at 9:00..." I let her know that it doesn't state that on their hours out front, or anywhere else... To make matters worse, upon getting ready to pull out of parking we noticed a van pull in right in front. An Asian woman entered the restaurant, and didn't appear to have the same issue. In fact everyone else dining inside was non-caucasian... Fun Fact - discrimination isn't just something white people do.... Note: previously rated 5 stars. I'll be removing the only photos for Win Thai from...
Read moreOk soo I have been coming here for more than a year. The atmosphere is wonderful--family owned restaurant serving authentic Thai food. The uncle and auntie are both super nice and friendly, and the granny working there is always so sweet. Today I placed an order of Pad Thai for the potluck and I received the best service. The amount of food is just way beyond affordable and economical especially for Halal food, you won't find other places like this easily----could feed at least 6 people in one setting. I came in late and the food was ready 25 mins before my arrival, and guess what? The food was still burning hot when I got it, that means they took good care of the food. The food is authentic to the point you will not see Americanized items on their menu and they know what they do. The Pad Thai was super tender and flavorful, seasoned just perfectly. The family is super down to earth and I just cannot help but to visit as much as...
