Experience the unparalleled allure of Thai Towne Eatery! As a regular patron under the previous management, I was pleasantly surprised by the revitalized experience under new ownership. Finally dining in today, I savored culinary delights beyond compare. Though Rad Na typically features Kai Lan (Chinese broccoli), a dish not listed on their menu, the accommodating owner graciously arranged for its preparation with succulent pork. Given the unavailability of Chinese broccoli, they ingeniously substituted it with finely sliced American broccoli, ensuring it cooked to perfection without losing its delicate texture or altering the genuine Thai taste. The gravy was of sublime flavor. It was neither too thick nor starchy, undoubtedly the best I've ever tasted. And let's not forget the basil chili chicken - medium spicy and utterly divine, surpassing all prior experiences. Situated in Orange near the circle, this hidden "gem" offers authentic Thai cuisine. It prides itself on its friendly staff and exceptional owner who goes above and beyond to cater to patrons' preferences. From the delectable food to the magnificent Thai coffee, every aspect of the experience was flawless. Don't miss out on this culinary marvel - it's where impeccable service meets culinary perfection.
Unfortunately, I was too eager to savor my dishes to pause and capture any...
Read moreThai Town in downtown Orange is a solid spot for Thai food with a chill, laid-back vibe that makes the experience worth the visit. I went with some friends and we shared an order of the Pad Thai noodles with chicken, house fried rice with tofu, and yellow curry with chicken and potatoes. The food overall was decent and satisfying. The Pad Thai had a nice, slightly sweet flavor and was cooked just right—classic comfort food with tender pieces of chicken mixed in. The fried rice with tofu was simple but tasty, with a good texture and well-balanced seasoning that didn’t overpower. The yellow curry was creamy and mild, featuring long pieces of chicken and potatoes that soaked up the rich coconut flavor nicely. The chicken was tender the potatoes were very firm.
Inside, the restaurant has a clean and casual feel—nothing fancy, but comfortable and easy to relax in. The real bonus, though, is the atmosphere outside. Downtown Orange has a super chill vibe, and it adds a lot to the experience. Whether you're eating inside and stepping out afterward or grabbing takeout to enjoy nearby, the location makes a difference.
Overall, Thai Town is a good go-to if you’re looking for a laid-back place with dependable Thai dishes. It’s not flashy, but it hits the spot and is definitely a place...

First off, the vibe - Thai Town Eatery keeps it straightforward and casual. It’s a pay-at-the-counter kind of place, which I dig for its simplicity and ease.
Now, the menu. It’s concise, which can be a plus. You’ve got your curry options, but what stood out to me was their flexibility. I’m a big fan of Pad Krapow, and even though it wasn’t on the menu, they whipped it up for me – major points for customer service!
Taste-wise, we’re talking classic Thai flavors - fresh, vibrant, and unpretentious. My Pad Krapow, while not exactly the version I’m accustomed to, was still a solid dish. A bit different, but sometimes different is good.
Price point – reasonable, though a tad higher than my Thai food escapades in Chiang Mai (but hey, that’s expected).
Final verdict? Thai Town Eatery has its charm. Good food, accommodating staff, and a chill environment. It’s a yes from me – I’ll be back...
