Thai Juan On

We stumbled upon Thai Juan On while looking for lunch in San Juan Capistrano, and I'm so glad we did! The menu caught our attention right away with its fun and creative dish names like Holy Cow, Crying Tiger, Mermaid's Dowery, and Kiss Me Not -- love the personality! The inside of the restaurant is striking -- everything is red, from the walls to the red chairs, and it totally works! It feels bold and energetic. I especially loved the wine wall, which added a touch of elegance and charm to the space. Food was delicious, I had the spicy chicken with eggplant. Service was friendly, and the whole experience was memorable. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes off that quirky, intriguing menu!

I so want to like this place because it had such a creative name for a restaurant and interesting menu. The taste of the food came a little short. The food was surprisingly bland. I tried to put more spices on it, but it turned out just being average.

One of my favorite neighborhood restaurants that has been around a very long time. The ambiance is like Thailand town at night - dark with warm lighting. Oldies but goody with full bar that’s pretty much like Chiang Mai’s bars. The food never disappoints. I brought people here and the food was crowd pleaser. The service is super efficient. The location is just perfect for a meeting point from South OC and North OC. It is right off the highways I5/405 and there are many places to visit around the area - antique shopping, the missions, cinema, music festival by the beach, Dana Point harbor …

Thai Juan On has the most amazing food in the entire state of California! Though I have tried a lot of Thai restaurants, I literally can’t bring myself to try another one after having found this place! Their dishes are each unique in their own way and just about everything I’ve had has been amazing! A couple of my favorites which I highly recommend are Crying Tiger and Golden Thread. If you follow my advice and try this place you won’t go to another Thai restaurant after!

This place is amazing! I always get the lunch specials, but I still need to try the dinner items. The Minty Pork is the best bang for your buck. Lots of delicious meat in this dish. The place is dog-friendly too, which is a nice plus. Seating outside is very limited but lots of seating inside. The top dish is the Shrimpy meal. The bottom is the Minty Pork with soup, salad, and wontons it comes with.
