Thai This

Absolutely obsessed with Thai This—cozy Dana Point gem dishing out legit Thai cuisine that hits all the spots! The Papaya Salad is a standout starter: shredded raw green papaya with tomato, green beans, carrots, and crunchy peanuts in spicy som-tum sauce, plus cabbage to balance the kick. Grilled Pork Jowl was next-level—tender marinated pork jowl grilled smoky, served with lettuce wraps and a punchy spicy lime sauce that amps up every bite. The Crispy Duck? Golden-fried marinated duck with a vibrant red spicy wine sauce and fresh veggies—crispy outside, succulent inside, total winner. Their Famous Yellow Curry lives up to the hype: beef slices and potatoes in a creamy, mild coconut yellow curry that's comforting yet bursting with flavor. Ended on a high note with the Homemade Coconut Ice

Had a great experience at Thai This in Dana Point! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We tried the eggplant, tofu fried rice, summer rolls, and house salad — all of them were delicious and had really authentic Thai flavors. The highlight for me was definitely the mango sticky rice for dessert. The mango was perfectly sweet and paired so well with the warm coconut sticky rice. Such a simple but amazing dessert! The service was friendly and the atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming. Definitely a great spot in Dana Point for Thai food. Highly recommend!

It’s hard to describe the unique experience here. The owner know a lot of customers(probably lives nearby and come often). I ended up talking with the guy sitting next to me and shared a bottle of wine (yes they had some really good wine). For food, the pork jowl is really a must try. Tom yum is exceptionally good with 5 spicy. First time trying their mixed seafood noodles and it’s amazing! I saw some Thai food that’s not found in most other restaurants and it broadens my understanding of real Thai food. Can’t love this restaurant more. Highly suggest it.

Fresh homemade Thai food!! Very hard to find this quality in Orange County. Hole in the wall hidden gem. This is not a franchise, it is Family owned and they take a lot of pride in their work! FRESH ingredients bursting with flavor! and excellent service. The restaurant decorations are a little minimalistic, but that is a side thought. The amazing food and service will keep you coming back.

After a long beach day this was the perfect place to stop. We got the Pad See Ew and Fiery Bamboo red curry and both were amazing. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the curry was creamy. Customer service was top notch. Isla was so kind and very attentive to our every need. I love putting my money towards a family owned restaurant. Such great people and food!
