Bhan Baitong - Lake Forest

Amazing food joint. Food was really good and well priced. Had a good time with friends. 2 recommendations: 1. Add a bar with some cocktails 2. Introduce a kids menu (non spicy and smaller portions)

So goooood! I went back twice in the same day for lunch and dinner! I didnt know this place has legit thai food and i live like 10 mins drive from it! And im a Thai workationing in OC!

Pretty good Thai food! It's been a minute since I've gone out for Thai, and I was glad I randomly picked this place. I work so close to this place and surprisingly haven't come across it. It's definitely not easily spotted on any of the main streets and is in what looks to be a somewhat dead strip mall, or at least that's how it looked when I went during dinner time. My girlfriend and I came here a few hours before closing, hoping there wouldn't be a wait. Luckily there wasn't! There was only about 3 parties dining in. When you walk in you'll see some nice lighting along the left wall and a fairly clean restaurant. We got seated, ordered some hot tea (it's cold nowadays! , and took a look at the menu. The menu has a lot of items, like appetizers, rice dishes, and more. I went ahead and ordered the Pad Thai Combo, my girlfriend got the Pad See Ew, and we got the Mango Sticky Rice to finish it off. In case you're wondering how the food was: Pad Thai Combo: Delicious, and a hefty portion. The combo has pork, shrimp, and beef. The menu doesn't say that you can choose a spice level for this dish, so I specifically requested it to be very spicy. It was perfect. Pad See Ew: My girlfriend liked it, and I also tried it (and helped her finish it . She got it with pork. The pork was cooked well done and the noodles al dente. I'm not a fan of this dish in general anywhere, but I can say it was pretty good. Mango Sticky Rice: Ripe mango and sticky rice, incredible. I feel like the rice to mango ratio was just right for me :D. Service was good. The server was friendly and we were greeted when we entered as well as when we left. There's plenty of parking. There are neighboring businesses but many are vacant. Give this place a try!

We ordered pat se ew chicken satay and a dessert of mango sticky rice. Staff is friendly, food was good and service was quick.

Everytime we went back to CA! This is nearby ours place and we love the food from there.
