Thai Cafe — Restaurant in Irvine

Update; 01/03/2023 We had dinner at Thai Cafe. Do they have new chef or something? We order total 5 dishes and they were all too salty except shrimp pad thai. TomYum Koong soup used to be the best in town and our favorite but it tasted little water down. They use cheap white mushrooms instead of oyster or pine mushrooms. $20 for mostly water soup.

Yellow curry was also not so rich in taste. The potato and carrots were cold.

Broccoli and mushroom beef also had cold broccoli and thin white mushroom pieces.

Pad thai was still good but portion seemed smaller.

Very disappointed. Steam rice is still extra items.

Always like the food taste here. As every other restaurants, the price went up dramatically. Tom Yum Soup is $20 for mostly mushroom, tomato pieces and a few shrimps. They were doing OK during COVID with take outs so I don't know if this big price hike is really necessary. Ordered 3 dishes and paid...

Delicious! I've always wondered what this place was since I would always visit Yogurtland in the same plaza, but i came here one evening right before the dinner rush. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves and service was fantastic. They took our orders and brought everything out in a timely manner. Before I knew it, food filled our table. I ordered a typical dish for myself, pad see ew. The boyfriend ordered the beef panang curry with a side of brown rice. In addition, we split the sweet mango sticky rice.

The portions here are relatively big and is probably best eaten family style so that you can get a taste of everything. I thought everything was superb. Most memorable: sweet mango sticky rice. I've never had this, but it blew my mind. The mangos were very sweet and was a great combination to the sticky rice doused in coconut milk. If I come back, I'm definitely...

FYI. They don’t let you come in with your stroller even if you say your baby is asleep in it.

We showed up right at opening, and no one was there but me and my family. They quickly rejected our business because I had a stroller with a sleeping kid in it. I didnt understand it because no one was dining other than what would’ve been my family of 4 adults, 1 child and 1 sleeping child. They didn’t like the idea of putting us in a corner where we could tuck the stroller away and just keep rejecting our business.

Therefore, I will never come here again no matter my circumstance. What if my child had a disability and they didn’t even ask. They just quickly said no strollers inside because they are busy. (Again, no one was dining in).

They made that decision for us, and I’ve made the decision that this place is not...
