Nava Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Orange

This first review is from several months ago closer towards the opening of the restaurant: This was my first time eating here and I have to say... it's absolutely wonderful!!! The restaurant was clean AF, the staff was super friendly and full of smiles. They were quick to refill water and ask us if we needed anything and you could really tell they cared. They even took the time to actually talk with us instead of just taking our order and walk away. We ordered the pineapple curry and pineapple fried rice along with the pad Thai. Everything was delicious and the portions were more than enough. I've eaten at quite a few Thai places in the surrounding area and this one is now in my top 2. They're a new restaurant, so please, show them some love and take a chance on them. You won't regret it!!

Update 8/30/18: Came in today to get more dank food. Tried the Red Red curry which was rich and delicious. It was slightly sweet, very creamy and had a hint of hotness in the spice. Then we had the Panang Curry which wasn't sweet, but a bit more salty and earthy. Both are very good, but my personal preference was the Red since it reminded me of yellow curry... I'll keep updating this space with a review each time since I can't post an...

Best Thai food I've found in Orange County! Wow I was so glad to have finally found good authentic Thai food in the area. We went a few weeks ago and during lunch and had such a pleasant experience. I ordered the Tom Yum soup with chicken to start and then the pineapple curry with shrimp, ginger stir-fried rice, and Thai tea. Everything was absolutely delicious and the customer service was warm and welcoming. The lady who took our order and brought our food was so nice, helpful, and patient. The menu has a great variety and they also have lunch specials.

I recently went again and also tried their mango and sticky rice for desert. It was good although the sticky rice was a bit tough/too stuck together.

The portion is great and I'm just glad you actually get good valuenfr what you pay for here. Keep up the great work Nava Thai! This place is definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for some...

Nice, clean quiet place, easy parking with 10 tables. Went for lunch on Sunday. There were 3 other customers and 1 take out order, very light and quiet.

We ordered shrimp tom yum and boat noodle soups $13 each.

Tom yum had 3 shrimps and bits of pork. Broth was of course spicy and tasty with lots the fermented fish guts sauce, but was too salty.

Boat noodle soup had slices of beef in a broth, also heavy of the fermented fish gut sauce, beef blood and too salty. There was no beef taste or flavor in it.

Noodles were chewy, more like mung bean threads than rice noodles.

I had lots of noodle soups all over Thailand, all tasted better than this. The food here is neither authentic Thai nor adapted to US taste.

The owner and chef were very pleasant. This place is nice, clean, convenient and has good potentials. Have to come back to try their special lunch menus, pad Thai and...
