Thailusion — Restaurant in Los Alamitos

My buddy and I went here to try a new place and wanted some thai so chose this place in lieu of Coconut Rabbit in the area. We went there on our lunch hour so time was limited.

For starters, our sweet and sour soup took 15 min to come out. Like really, how hard is it to take a ladle and pour in a small bowl. I guess there was a large group who phoned ahead and they got there by the time we got our soup. Thinking, ok, they are just adjusting. Nope, took another 15 min after the soup for my friend to get his thai fried rice. Yup, 30 minutes after ordering to get fried rice with chicken in it. So there we are, him with his food and me now waiting for my yellow chicken curry. I kept being told one more minute, three more minutes, one more minute. At this point, frustrated, I ask again and was told another minute. Another nearly 15 min later, my food comes out, and our lunch hour is almost over and my friend's food is getting cold cause he was polite to not eat while I waited. When the food finally comes out, it is like really, this took this long. It was a small bowl of curry with steam rice. At this point, we had been there 40 min.

As if it couldn't get any better, my friend went to pay the bill of $21.50 with his cash and my card. He gives her a $20 and tells her $12 cash and rest on card. She ridiculously charges $1.50 on my card and takes the cash. Now, I have to go get up myself and it takes another 10 min to sort out. On top if, I see a little gem while leaving the table to go to front..... my plate had a big chip in the corner. Awesome ending I suppose. The whole time the staff was not unapologetic other than the useless "so sorry". We finally left the place and it is 1p and have to rush back.

I don't care if this place might make food that gives you goose bumps or not, the experience was the worst ever I have experienced. Getting a fresh warm pizza from Little Caesars is a more satisfying experience than this place. The couple before us complained about their 25 min wait for their food and the poor lady next to use who got there about 12:15 and on lunch as well, was still waiting for her food...

I got the crab ragoon ** The tom yum vegetarian ** And egg rolls ** Pad thai * Fast service, very sweet food was ok but upset my stomach immediately so I don't feel like I gained any weight from the food lol (it went it right through me if ya didn'tcatch that) lol 😅 I don't have a sensitive stomach btw. Tom yum was good first couple bites then the tomato presences was a little too strong and it was a little too sweet. The crab ragoons weren't my cup of tea, very strong sour cream flavor no crab not worth the price. Egg rolls were perfect just the dipping sauce didn't hit the spot. Didn't get to 5he pad Thai because my tummy started saying nope but it looked good. So I give 3 stars for takeout looked like a cool place would have given 4 but after spending 60$ I was hoping not to have slight food poisoning. But again it's not too severe so I'd probably try them again.

After now ordering at 7 and it's 111 so 4 hours of running to the bathroom I have to change the rating to a 2... yeah laugh it up ppl but seriously I was really excited about this place and now I'm glad my dog doesn't judge my poor decisions. I don't know if anyone else felt like this today but no fun.. sorry Thailusion I tried to keep it positive but someone...

To start with, my friend ordered the pad Thai, and the noodles were extremely overcooked and stuck together like they'd been sitting in a pot for hours.

They served us water that was warm with no ice fairly nauseating! You should not have to ask for ice. Maybe in Thailand they don't serve you ice because it's a rarity but seriously.

I had the chicken pepper dish, , it was extremely oversalted to the point of wow! The spinach and broccoli and carrots that were supposed to be mixed with that and come with it cooked. We're barely even warm and they were such small little portion. It was more of a garnish than the actual food, it was on the side of the plate.

We had an appetizer starter with four shrimp spring rolls that were so poorly made. They all fell apart as we tried to eat them a real laughter, but not funny!

I should also mentioned that some of the shrimp in my friend's pad Thai was uncooked and barely warm. Not healthy... All in all we got out of there for $53 in change. Ridiculously throwing my money down the toilet like that on restaurant. Food is absurd.

And one last thing I'll mention as the name of the restaurant States it is really a Thai illusion, I've had better street food.

Most definitely...
