Coconut Bay Bar & Grill

This is my new favorite Thai restaurant in So.Cal.  I drive all the way from Irvine to eat here pretty frequently!  They have pretty much every Thai dish you could want.  I recommend the Moo Yaang (Grilled marinated Pork with spicy dipping sauce) it's served with Northern Thai style sticky rice.  Their boat noodles are delicious and perfectly spiced.  The other great thing is the unlimited Thai Iced Coffee and Thai Iced Tea!  Prices are incredibly reasonable, portions are large, and parking is ample.  I would not recommend going on Saturdays at dinner time (6 or 7pm) unless you want to stand around outside waiting.  They also have a ton of flat screens so you'll never miss an NBA or NFL game.

This is my favorite Thai noodle place in the U.S.!  I have been frequenting this location for years every time I am in SF.  They have the greatest Thai boat noodles with the right proportions of all the ingredients.  They also have fresh rice noodles which make a huge difference.  The service is fast and friendly.  I would recommend this as a lunch spot if you're shopping in the immediate area.

Antique Thai Cuisine

I was pleasantly surprised by Antique Thai!  First of all, it's in a strip plaza and a little bit hidden, but well worth going in because once inside the decor is lovely and truly makes you forget you're in a strip mall.

The hostess and waiter were incredibly nice and attentive.  Their menu offers the best of classic Thai dishes as well as their own spin original modernized Thai dishes.  They have a vegetarian option for almost every menu item!

I had:
Appetizer - Golden Triangles: Wonton skins stuffed with a delicious potato mixture and then fried, served with a dipping sauce.
Entree - Basil Chicken: Ordered extra spicy, was amazing and very authentic tasting.

They have desserts as well such as the standard mango with sticky rice or fried bananas with ice cream, but I was too stuffed.  I'd highly recommend this place if you are in the area!

If you're in OC and don't want to go all the way to LA for authentic delicious Thai food, definitely go to Thai Nakorn.  This location isn't as nice as their former one on Haster, but the food is definitely still outstanding.  Everything is authentic and made to spice level order.

I recommend the Thai Beef Salad and Basil Chicken!

This is a good place to have lunch if you're in a seaside town looking for some casual moderately priced seafood in an upbeat atmosphere.  Go for the experience of Forrest Gump trivia and buckets.

This place is fantastic!  A very small cozy atmosphere where you know you will be served authentic Japanese cuisine.  I had the tonkatsu dinner which came with the heavenly roasted eggplant.  I will definitely be returning for the shabu shabu!

Ordered:
Garlic Prime Rib (Large Cut)
Mussel Plate
Hot Tub of Cloves
Garlic Ice Cream with Mojo Sauce
Strawberry Mojito

This place is amazing!  Everything was fantastic from the ease of the valet, being seated, service, and the FOOD.  A garlic lover's dream come true.  The prime rib was extremely tender and served with garlic mashed potatoes.  I really recommend the prime rib and hot tub of cloves.  The seating is very nice and each table is separated by a curtain/drape, so you have some privacy to enjoy your garlic.  A must try!

Oh and don't be afraid of the garlic ice cream, it's wonderfully vanilla like and creamy with an aftertaste of garlic, in a pleasant way.  The mojo sauce is like hot fudge.

A wonderful unique Italian place (not your chain Mac Grill).  The atmosphere is very family friendly.  The pasta is good, portions hefty, and prices very reasonable for what you get.

I recommend the gnocchi with tomato cream bolognese!

I love this place!  The best Japanese food done fast.  Can't call it Japanese fast food because it is so many notches above your typical.  The food quality is great and the price is right.  Definitely try this out for a quick dinner if you're in the area.

I absolutely love this place's atmosphere and beer.  A great place to hang out for drinks or have a group thing with friends.

The food is not so impressive, but I'd definitely go here for dessert and drinks.  Oh and you can always get a table, no wait.
