We came in late on Christmas Day. The place was small but nice and the food was good. The service was fast and friendly.

Very delicious Thai food. Came here for short vacation with family and friends from Asia. Importantly, no charge for bringing alcohol from outside. They do not sell any alcohol here. However, you can get it from liquor store nearby.

This restaurant reminds me of the time back in Thailand. People here is very nice! Didn’t expect this much at the first place on the food taste. Very delicious.

I’m spending the day with Dr at Newport and we made a reservation to this small place very cozy’ place , very chill.
The food is fantastic!!! Very tasty
We enjoyed a nice dinner
We ordered a lot of different appetizers and dishes and the everything was soooo delicious!
And their house peanuts sauce was so tasty
I don’t remember names for everything we ordered cause we ordered a lot to share
So here are some photos of what we got
Highly recommend to eat at this place if you’re visiting Newport.

The server was incredibly attentive. We got the Tom Kha Kai and Noodle Soup, and for the appetizer we got Veggie Fried Dumplings. We finished with the Mango with Sticky Rice.
Everything was great. My boyfriend was hesitant because of the lack of pictures, but I’m impressed. You want to eat the food so badly you forget to take pictures!!

Have you ever driven over an hour for a restaurant knowing that the food's going to be good but then they exceed your expectations? This is that place. My daughter lives in Orange county. I lived in Los Angeles and I picked her up and we went to mint leave Thai expecting good food but in my opinion they go over and beyond making sure you're satisfied. Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner!

The food here was EXCELLENT. I really enjoyed their Pad Thai dish. The red curry and crazy cashew nut plates were also very tasty. Finally, they gave everyone at our table a free salad. The service was excellent and the atmosphere is pleasant.

The mango sticky rice here is to die for, you have to get it to end your meal. I always get one to go, high suggest you do too.

Start out with the shrimp with crunch noodles wrapped around them. The entries I've tried are all good, curries, pad tai etc..

The staff is always friendly and attentive, great environment, just blocks from the beach.

If you are in town stop here, perfect for before or after the beach.

I could say this restaurant is the best authentic Thai food in New Port area! Chef is very friendly. You can talk with her for extra free of charge if you are nice to them! Probably the only one family own business in this area.

I guess we we're lucky not to read the reviews. We expected an average meal and we're very pleasantly surprised with every single dish, including the desserts. Service was very good as well. We came here on January 1st, 2019. Great start of the year!

We've been here twice. The menu is extensive, the staff is fantastic, and the food is artfully presented and very tasty. Most dishes can be prepared gluten-free -- ask your server. The restaurant is very small with only one outside table.

The decor is dated, but so not let that fool you; the food is spectacular and varied. The dishes are presented well and they are absolutely delicious. Do not bypass this gem just because of appearances. You'll regret it.

What a delightful little restaurant! Great food, medium size portions, and attentive staff to our table of 6! My water glass was never empty. Definitely returning for a future meal.

They have special menu for $12.95 that includes rice and salad. The food was delicious. We will come back!

This restaurant is a great find amidst the standard beech restaurant fare. Very authentic and delicious food choices.

So much fun to come back here again. It’s been a year or two. My wife and I love this place. I recommend the pumpkin curry.

A perfect hot spot! My pit stop every time I am in Balboa Island, Newport Beach California. All good things packed in this tiny Thai restaurant.
Pick anything from the menu you will not be disappointed. Love this place!

Best food, best device as usual’ I still love this place sooo much!

Best cuisine ever, decadent, Full of flavor, exquisite combinations of infused deliciousness.
