    I quite like this Thai restaurant; it is bright and cheerful inside, it seems like a common gathering spot for the local community; the staff are friendly; prices are decent; and the food is great. One note: they're not kidding around with spice levels! Medium spice was for me full on spicy (i.e. where the spice starts to compete with the flavor). I really enjoy this place and have been back several times.

    Had lunch at Manaow today and would highly recommend. We ordered spring rolls for an appetizer and they were delicious with the perfect crunch. For their house beverages I recommend the limeade with honey. It was very refreshing. Food was very good and service was fast and friendly.

    Highly recommended. The food was great, and they have a special drink which is come with a tester, and then you have to choose out of five tester . Peaceful environment inside and so nice outdoor sitting area with great service which I give them 5 stars. Absolutely delicious Thai food comes with fresh dishes. They have restroom inside and parking available in the lot. We went for lunch and we really love this place. The waitress was so friendly and explained their menu with patient.

    Hands down one of the best Thai spots in LB. Definitely not the cheapest but worth the extra bucks for the quality! Beef pad see ew is my favorite go-to. Recently tried their tom kha and roasted duck rice, both were a hit. Never leave without mango & sticky rice or whatever desert is in season. 🤤🤌🏽

    The egg rolls are very satisfying and long and we’ll prepared. The yellow curry was so delicious I could have drank cups of it. The papaya salad was lovely, fresh and delicious. The service was wonderful. Great experience, lovely dining experience, definitely worth checking out

    I don't know where to start.... I came here with my GF on 08/24/22 and this place blew our taste buds! Everything was surprisingly delicious and had so much flavor. The staff was very nice and accommodating. I had forgot to mention that I had a peanut allergy after they had taken our order and brought over the papaya salad with peanuts on top. I then notified the waitress that I was allergic. She immediately removed the papaya salad and brought over a new one with a smile on her face. I had already felt bad and kept apologizing, but she kept smiling and insisted it wasn't a problem. This right there was already a great experience and the best customer service I had received in a long time at a restaurant. The papaya salad tasted so good once we had taken a bite. Soon there after we received more and more food. The flight of drinks came and if you didn't know, they will give you a free drink in actual size for the one you like the most. This was a very hard decision to make as each one tasted so good, but we went with the classic Thai Tea. Next, we had the beef skewers and this had to be our favorite dish. The sauce paired with the beef skewers was so so so good! Finally, we had the pad see ew and green curry with steamed rice. Overall, I'd definitely come back again with friends and family to share this amazing Thai food. Cause with good food, it's even better when you share it with the people you love.

    Dinner was amazing at Manaow. We are pretty local to this area and decided to get dinner while getting some laundry done next door. The wings were sticky and crispy. Really enjoyed their take on it. The mango sticky rice was expected to be good and it was! For our mains the Pad Thai was classic and flavorful. I got the Northern noodles and those were different, but if you can't decide between curry or noodles, that's the way to go.

    One of my favorite places in Long Beach. The place is elegant. The staff is very friendly. The duck curry is just insanely delicious.

    I cannot recommend this place enough. Has been my go-to for Thai for the 5 years I have lived here. You cannot go wrong! My faves are the northern style curry noodle soup and the tamarind chicken wings, as pictured.

    One of my favorite restaurants in Long Beach!It’s in a great location and everyone that works there is very nice. The prices and atmosphere are also great in my opinion. My favorites are the Thai beef noodle soup, Thai iced tea, and yellow curry. I no long live nearby but whenever I visit I have to eat here. I have many memories at this place and am grateful it’s in the neighborhood that I love.

    I can’t speak to the restaurant experience at Manaow, but I can say this is one of my favorite take out spots in Long Beach! They have tons of vegetarian options, but my favorite is their Pad See Ew. All of the ingredients are always fresh and the quality is top notch!

  • 5/5 Jacquelyn M. 2 years ago on Google
    Tasty, eclectic menu with fresh ingredients. We’ve had several offerings from their menu and all have been delicious…careful though … when they say spicy … so forewarned is forearmed! You won’t be disappointed 👌

    Holy S***. I haven't written a review for a place this quickly after I've eaten there. First off, the ambiance is sleek, yet cozy and the sitting arrangement (booths and benches) makes you feel like you're going to have an intimate experience not just with your fellow diners, but with your food too. The service was quick, hospitable and informative. Can't ask for more. But then, there's the food. The ribs gave me a religious experience and for a brief second they made me forget that I can't moan like a cow inside a restaurant. With my eyes rolling in the back of my head, I tried the the Pad Thai which was subtle, but yet plentiful and fresh. Lastly, after my soul had rested, I tried some of my girlfriend's Tom Kha soup which sent me back to the heavens with it's creaminess, slight spiciness and rich flavor. What made me even happier was that despite the additional two (unnecessary but superb) Thai teas, our total was under $65! Plus, we took part of the Pad Thai and Tom Kha to-go. So, if you're from the neighborhood, it's a must, and if you're not from the neighborhood, it's a should.

    Thai food was delicious. We ordered the Chinese kale with belly pork and was absolutely amazing. Also we got the tofu curry with noodles and the curry flavor was just perfect. The service in general is great, just be sure you have enough time to wait until you get your food and enjoy it.

    Come for the food - it's amazing! Not only is it my favorite Thai food in Long Beach, but I think it's my favorite restaurant in the city, too. Every dish is excellent - but that green curry....(chef's kiss)! I crave this food more than any other place in LB. Thank you Manaow for making the most authentic Thai around!

    Service was unfortunately not very attentive. Two starters were ordered, which unfortunately arrived after each other. For this, the main courses came together with an appetizer. Appetizer was very burnt and therefore could not be eaten. Would recommend that there should hire more service staff.

  • 5/5 Brendan M. 6 months ago on Google
    Don’t let my terrible photos fool you, this place is wonderful. Never had artichoke curry before but definitely will be back for it. Thai tea was one of the best I’ve ever had. Quality and quick service. Eat here

  • 4/5 John B. 8 months ago on Google
    The food at Manaow is fantastic. I’ve lived in the neighborhood for over a year and wish I found it sooner. The curry and pork belly were fantastic. Minus one star because the service was questionable. I really felt we were an inconvenience to our server. She didn’t seem happy to be there, which is unfortunate. Will definitely be back though for the food. Maybe a take out order..

  • 5/5 Elle G. 2 years ago on Google
    My first time eating at this excellent Thai restairant. We ordered the spring rollls, seafood curry .beef paid thai and the very delicious Tamarind chicken. I eat in a lot of excellent Thai restaurants in Thai town LA and all I can say their food quality and customer service is top notch.

  • 4/5 Wendy B. 5 months ago on Google
    Very delicious Thai food that has a bit different menu than many other Thai places. The only place on Long Beach that has Mee Krob and they can make vegetarian Pad See Ew. One of the best Mee Krob that I have ever eaten. Nice crispy noodles and slightly sweet flavor.

    This restaurant offers fantastic food and excellent service. I traveled from OC to have dinner with my son, and the Thai restaurant near his place had no parking. Thanks to Google, we discovered this little gem not too far away with outstanding reviews. What a pleasant discovery! We will definitely return.
