    The interior decor was a pleasant surprise compared to the strip mall exterior. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. I started with the green papaya salad which was more authentic than most with a nice level of spice. I was a little surprised that the spicy garlic seafood came without rice, it could have used an accompaniment. The mango sticky rice was wonderful.

    I'm a huge fan of Sushi on Fire, so I was surprised how far this restaurant fell from being "good." I ordered the salmon curry (since it said it came with a salmon filet, and since I liked a picture someone posted of their salmon curry 2 years ago). The salmon I received looked nothing like the picture, and was NOT a salmon filet; it was mostly bones. It also tasted "fishy" in some bites (which I never usually experience with salmon). Several minutes after I had ordered, the waitress asked if it was ok if they gave me the part of the salmon near the cheeks. I said,"I don't like dealing with bones, so I was hoping for the filet." I also asked if they could cook the salmon "medium," so it wasn't dried out. What came out was very little salmon, barely edible, and with lots of bones (NOT a filet). It was the most dry and overcooked salmon I've ever had in my life! I had to chew it very carefully, since it kept feeling like it would get stuck in my throat from being so hard and dry. The steamed vegetables were fine, but the panang was the most sugary tasting panang I've ever had - without the depth of flavor I've had at all the many other Thai restaurants I've tried. It was way too sweet - like a dessert. Even the Pad Thai was sweeter than normal Pad Thai. I was shocked, since I've been a huge fan of Sushi on Fire for YEARS - so I expected the same high quality of their brand (which this CLEARLY was NOT). I celebrate my birthday at Sushi On Fire EVERY year. I love Thai food, and was excited to support them in trying this restaurant. Sadly, it was the worst Thai food I've ever had. For their sake, I'm hoping they were short staffed, or had new chefs, or some strange extenuating circumstances. That must (?) be true, since they have 4.5 star reviews. So I'm glad to see that others had a much better experience than I did. Still bummed.

    Amazing Thai food, could not be happier with this hole in the wall. Never would have guess that such a place existed. But now I know and it is being added to my rotation!

    Some of the best Thai food I've had. They have a selection of side sauces that are super tasty, some spicy n some hot! The portions were huge and we had enough for lunch the next day. The service was OUTSTANDING! Our waiter knew every dish and was able to make some great recommendations. If you love Thai food you have to experience this place.

    Great Thai food! I've been going to this restaurant off and on, for the past 10 years. They have great lunch options (The Beef plates- Curry- Pad Thai) for a very reasonable price. The restaurant has a very calm and peaceful environment, making it good for solo visits, with friends, dates, or with family. I most recently came here with my family for a celebratory dinner. The customer service, wait time, food quality/taste, and overall experience was amazing. They take pride in their work and it shows. Definitely recommend for those who are Thai Food enthusiasts!

    This is my first time here and it was lunch time on a Tuesday. There are many customers so I would think that the food is good, and it was. I had the lunch special which comes with a salad and white or brown rice. I like the dressing on the salad a lot. The lunch portion was great because it was just right. I got the hot basil leaf with chicken, and medium spicy; and my husband got the broccoli with chicken. He also got a Thai iced tea which he really liked too. I like their side of chilli pepper, spices, and sauces. All of the staff member were very nice and attentive. I will be back to try their other dishes another time.

    I have been dining at Thai By Sushi On Fire in Orange County for years, and it continues to impress. Thai By Sushi On Fire unquestionably serves the best Thai food in the area, and their service is exceptional. The menu offers a range of authentic Thai dishes, each bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. If you're in Orange County and craving Thai cuisine, Thai By Sushi On Fire is a must-visit!

    It was very good food when first opened. We would eat there sometimes every week or more... it was tasty, spicy and fresh the way good Thai food is...now don't bother going. We had dinner there few months ago...terrible. the meat was dry, tough, bland...chicken was boiled, absolutely no taste; pork same, beef if u could even find in the dish was ridiculously small size. Last nite I thought we should give one more try, and guess what? It's worse. Now the portions are even smaller, the curry is overwhelmingly flavored with sweetened coconut milk The can light in the ceiling above our table kept blinking on and off throwing our table into half darkness and blinding brightness every 92 seconds. Typical Asian indifference and passivity from the waitress when I complained about the light. She said she would check the light switch. I know Asian passivity since my lovely wife and son are Asian. They say I am brutal honest beatch. We love Asian restaurants, But not Thai by fire on Brookhurst.. Too bad. Another victim of silly government pandemic I guess. R I P.
