Thai Smile Rancho Santa Margarita — Restaurant in Rancho Santa Margarita

I had the pleasure of trying this place out thanks to DoorDash and am glad that my experience was great overall.

Pad See Ew with Pork for $11.95 — I normally order this with beef but didn’t feel like paying extra for another type of meat so we tried it with beef. I did enjoy this meal but I wish they had used Chinese broccoli instead of regular broccoli. Still though, the flavor is there and I do recommend it.

Pad Kee Mao with Pork for $11.95 — I don’t typically order this since the flat noodles are similar to pad see ew anyway but I wanted something spicier with more veggies so I opted for this. It typically also comes with Thai basil and bell peppers but I opted out of those instead. This is not the spiciest dish in the world. In fact, I’d rate it a 2 out of 10 for spice level but I imagine you can just add chili flakes and oil to your liking so I can’t be too harsh on this. The flavor was great and there was a LOT of meat!

Thai Fried Rice (Combination) for $13 — Wow, this is definitely a dish that you cannot finish by yourself. The fried rice comes with lots of tomatoes, white onions, and green onions, and meat!! Beef, chicken, and shrimp to be exact. This was delicious but very filling. Overall this is a great value for the price.

The only reason why I docked a star is because it took about 45-50 minutes from the time my food was ordered to the time the restaurant actually finished preparing it in order to be delivered. Other than that, I do recommend coming here and would try it out in person...

We’re so lucky to have this Thai restaurant in our local neighborhood! Every dish is packed with authentic flavor from the perfectly balanced Pad Thai to the rich and creamy Panang curry, it’s clear the chefs take pride in every plate. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and the spice levels are just right (with options to adjust if you like it milder or hotter).

Our go to favorites are their house fried rice and the spicy eggplant curry beef both absolutely delicious and full of flavor. We also love their Thai Iced Tea, which is always perfectly chilled and creamy a great way to round out the meal.

The staff are always welcoming and treat you like family. Service is quick, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive.

Whether you’re grabbing a casual lunch or celebrating a special dinner, this place never disappoints. A must-visit spot if you love Thai food or if you’re just ready to fall in...

Not sure why this restaurant has so many good reviews the customer service and food are awful. I ordered the pad thai and it smelled so much like fish sauce. The entire table could smell it. When I told the waitress that I wanted to exchange it for something else, she told me that they don't do returns and that nobody else has complained about it so there is nothing wrong with the food. My friend tried the Tom Yum and he said it tasted too sweet and flavorless. The other people I went with shared the same experience. We have been to lots of Thai places and this is by far the worst. I'm wondering if this place used to be good and had a change of staff (hence the...
