Top Southeast Asian Restaurant in Dana Point
Thai This
34119 Pacific Coast Hwy STE A, Dana Point, CA 92629, United States
An old favorite in a new setting. Thai This was a Dana Point success story, putting Thai food on the list of popular ethnic choices.Always crowded and frequented by the posh crowd of South Orange County. Beautiful ambiance, awesome Thai porcelain table settings, a clever selection of the most appealing Thai dishes, all with humorous names.And then it was gone. Victim to a major development taking over blocks within the center of Dana Point.The reincarnation of Thai This, in a cheap little strip mall, is a tiny place with a handful of cheap tables and chairs. It lacks the charm of its old self and looks more like a sandwich shop than a high-end eatery.Despite its fall from grace as a four star restaurant, one thing remains: the same crazy menu with the same delicious food. You wont go there wearing your best outfit anymore but you will still love the superb food.

Had dinner and cocktails here tonight with some friends.Positive: Hostess and support staff(not our waiter) were great, lots of TVs, excellent menu with good variety.Negatives: minor issue with not enough parking/full street parking near by. Bigger issue was our waiter. I’m not sure if I didn’t hear their name because it was so loud but I don’t remember it. We had a male waiter who honestly didn’t care about our group.During our 2.5 hr stay, the other staff members checked up on us more than he did; our waiter spoke to us three times (appetizer, dinner order, and bill.) On multiple instances, we would be looking for him/try to flag him down and he would ignore our table, chit chat with other tables, and walk by our table. We had to flag down a different server to check up on our food which didn’t arrive for 45 MINUTES; naturally it was cold and not good after sitting out. Although the restaurant was busy but not packed, our food came out way too late.I am not sure why our waiter didn’t bother to care about us; optics don’t help though when you are a group of three southeast Asian men with a Caucasian waiter. He happen to pay attention to tables around us that also happen to have patrons who didn’t look like our group. Even while paying the check, between two cards, he walked away to talk with another table; this occurred IN BETWEEN TRANSACTIONS (he couldn’t even stand near our table for more than a minute.)I would come back to this place but I believe our waiter needs to do a better job at waiting on customers, checking up on them, and at least acting like they care.
