Hanloh in Santa Cruz

A great way to enjoy an elevated Thai meal. More expensive than your average Thai restaurant and 100% worth it for the quality ingredients in the incredibly prepared meals. The location is in a cozy and hip book store, lending to an intimate environment.

Lalita makes great Thai food, which is really hard to find in the Bay Area in general. The tomato jaew is so good, we wish we could buy it in larger batches. Bad animal is a cozy location. And we appreciate that we can bring our dog for outdoor seating.

Why has it taken so long for SC to get a restaurant with flavor, outstanding service, and amazing ambiance? But the day has finally arrived. Hanloh is absolutely the best restaurant in SC. Every single dish they have on their menu is superb. The wait staff here are kind and extremely knowledgeable about their food and wine menu. And the restaurant is in an old book store. How cool is that? Seriously if you can’t appreciate good food, don’t come here. Save the space for those of us that can.

OMG!! It is such a great experience, with amazing food in such an unique atmosphere... If you havent gone yet, hurry up and go before the residency is over!

Every dish here had me trying to figure out its magic. More than anywhere Ive been, this food is greater than the sum of its parts (and the ingredients are stellar). This was my second visit and a totally different menu. Both were incredible.

Absolutely incredible food. We had Hanloh cater our wedding in Santa Cruz. Lalita was amazing to work with and the food was delicious. We had numerous guests come up to us and tell us it was the best food theyve ever had at a wedding. If youre getting married or have an event, look no further than Hanloh. You wont regret it!

Hanloh Thai food is fresh and loaded with complex flavors that make it clear this food is made from scratch, with love and the expertise of someone who really knows this cuisine. It is so refreshing to find authentic Thai food that isnt sugared up or dumbed down. The difference is so apparent! This food is everything I love about Thai food. It hits all the notes; spicy, pungent, tangy, a little sweet and loaded with fresh herbs and spices. Grateful to have this offering in our town!

This place is fabulous, the food is delicious, service is excellent, just wonderful!

Great restaurant and library!
