Best Thai Food in Orange County

If you can get on the waitlist early enough, you should absolutely go to Manaao Thai.

I've brought many groups here over the last year or so and they all agree - this is the best Thai food they've ever had.

What to order? My absolute favorite are the Green Curry with Roti and the Panang Curry with Beef (pictured). They are delightful curries with (uncommonly, in my opinion) tender and juicy beef.

I also love the Tom Kha soup, especially when it's ordered a little spicy.

Other favorites include Grilled Pork Jowl, Crying Tiger (ribeye), and Pad See Ew.

But make sure you finish the meal with their incredible Mango Sticky Rice! It might be my actual favorite.
