Thai Dishes in Manhattan Beach is hands down one of the best Thai restaurants in the South Bay area! They use traditional cooking methods to create classic Thai dishes with authentic, bold flavors that truly transport you to Thailand.
Some of our favorite dishes are the Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, and both the yellow and green curries—each one perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. During lunch, they offer a fantastic lunch special for just $15 per dish, making it a great value for such high-quality food.
The Pad Thai stood out with its balance of distinctive Thai vinaigrette and a hint of sweetness, perfectly capturing the essence of the dish. To wrap up the meal, we indulged in their sweet rice mango dessert, which was exceptional. The sticky rice had a wonderfully firm texture, pairing beautifully with the sweet, ripe mango.
Service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and fast. Parking was a breeze with a convenient lot located right next to the restaurant.

First, Food. In the three or so years that I've been eating at Thai Dishes, the food has never ceased to disappoint! Their food is very flavourful, and one doesn't have to worry about their food being to spicy. They also have a larger menu than other places in the area (I think :) ), but still all of the food I've had there has been quite good. I would highly recommend their Thai BBQ Chicken and their curries. The information above also is in regards to takeout/delivery.
Next, ambiance. Thai Dishes is right off PCH, And gets a fair bit of traffic, but I don't think I've ever had a wait to eat there. Inside, the place is intimate, mostly made of wood. I've never eaten in the outside patio, but I think it would be quite nice. The place has lots of seating and can accommodate a large party (probably split up between multiple tables) if necessary. I love the general vibe of the place, while being quiet it's not drained of life. it is important to have good atmosphere as well as food, and Thai...
Read moreIncredibly disappointed with the food I received. I ordered delivery and was very explicit in my instructions. Not at all complicated. Just wanted to make sure every dish we ordered was plant-based. On the pad thai noodles arrived W there were a hunk of congealed orange noodles with almost no vegetables and absolutely no tofu. Pat I also had no bean sprouts or cabbage just a few slices of green onion there were over cooked to death. The entire dish was so myopic and flavor and oily. And I paid $11 for orange noodles.the pumpkin eggplant tofu dish was delicious, however I got sick after eating it. I'm pretty sure they used chicken broth and or fish sauce.I explicitly asked for no chicken broth and no fish sauce I even said not to make it if there was any chance there was chicken broth in it. Will not return will never order again. The quality of food here...
