Very good food! I'm talking exceptionally good. The fried egg rolls are actually very crispy and oh my GOD the crying tiger is extremely smokey and savory. Word of caution though, the food is expensive. I'm talking at least $20 - $30 for each person. Also the fried rice wasn't as good as I thought. I got the spicy basil fried rice and it was kinda just wet and clumpy with huge chunks of veggies and meat. Not saying it was bad, the taste was great! But the texture was a bit off in my opinion. Though, either way, very good food! Maybe you'll think the same as well.

The food is so delicious and service is great!!!

Great food and service. If you like meat give the Crying Tiger a go. It was delicious.

I used to visit Thai Garden years ago and was always slightly disappointed that they didn't serve the blistering heati used to crave. I went again and knowing that they don't serve blistering heat decided to rate the food based on the flavor and not the heat. I ordered the spicy eggplant dish with chicken and the flavor was superb. I enjoyed every bite. The only reason for the 4 star review is because the service was quite slow.

I haven't been here in years and was originally coming here tonight because I had planned on cooking my own food at the table like Korean BBQ. Come to find out, this establishment doesn't offer that anymore; the grills in the tabke still remain as a reminder.I stayed for the service as it was impeccable. I'll go again for the food as everything we ordered was spot on.We enjoyed the chicken satay and the fresh roll appetizers that were promptly brought before our meal. My party opted for the shrimp with our spring rolls. The attention to detail on the presentation as well as the preparation was just perfect. Solid bite of everything in the roll to balance the flavors; just as I would make them at home. The chicken satay could not have been cooked better. Still moist with just the right amount of bite to remind you you're eating meat.The pork fried rice was done very well and bursting with flavor and the steak for my crying tiger was absolutely perfect and tender.The sauces are what will make you crave this place. The peanut sauce with our satay and the fresh rolls is a wonderful balance of nutty and sweet while the lime sauce is salty and slightly pungent and just keeps reminding you there is more food on the table to dip in. The lime suave does not have an overly powerful fish sauce taste (that I personally enjoy) but it is still just as addictive and likely well suited for people not accustomed to fish suace.With the impeccable service this place is a 10 out of 10.

Stopped by in the tail end of a pandemic because they had outdoor seating and the door was open to it. They then told me the outdoor seating was closed. Not impressed with their customer service that they wouldn’t have their outdoor seating open on a beautiful evening during a pandemic. Unfortunately I can’t risk getting sick now with a ski trip just six days away and four people depending on me.

Food was good.. but to slip in a charge for rice when ordered with curry is rude. We enjoyed the food here.. but they brought us a small portion of rice (that we didn’t ask for!). And when the bill came they charged us for that rice. I don’t mind paying for rice if I’d ordered it. Or asked for more. But when you bring it to the table and then try to charge for it is just wrong especially when it was a tiny portion. They just lost a customer and I would slip this and go to Thai bite in Laguna Niguel which is 5 stars.

I order the vegetarian yellow curry and it is delicious every single time. The service is amazing not to mention you get a free drink with each order.

Been going to this restaurant for two years, always a phone order. They took my order and confirmed it, but because they were busier than usual they didn't even put it in the system. After standing there for twenty minutes they told me they didn't have the order I placed 30 minutes prior to that. Had a long day and was hungry, won't be going back.

Food and service was really good. The Crying Tiger and fresh spring rolls were extremely flavorful. Will definitely return when in the area.
