"Decor and ambience was very cool. Very inviting. We sat at the bar so we wouldn't have to wait. Someone helped us right away with drinks, appetizers, etc. She was very helpful and very attentive. We went all out and got some cocktails, beer, and sake bombs. The menu had a decent selection of drink options but alot of it was unavailable, which is understandable given the current supply chain issue. For appetizers we opted for the edamame (always a classic, always good),Thai coconut shrimp (to die for, a must of you're looking for a great app), and beef negimaki (I probably wouldn't order it again but I'm glad I tried it). Sooo many choices for Sushi Rolls! The problem with that is, you don't know what'sactually good! We ordered the Chef's special roll, Jaguar roll, Honey roll, and the table side presented Fire roll. I give these rolls a 3 out of 5, unfortunately. Presentation was good, I probably just failed to order the right ones thatwould personally hit the spot. We wanted to try one of the Thai main dishes so we selected the Pad Thai. One of my favorite noodle dishes. Wu's House did it justice. I'd say 4 out of 4. Enough tang and sweetness to satisfy my tastebuds! From the hibachi grill we got the steak, shrimp, and salmon combo with a couple of sides of golden sauce (aka egg yolk sauce). I'd say it was what to be expected of the hibachi presentation. Overall it was a great experience, goodservice, and good food! I would definitely go back to give the sushi rolls another chance."

"To say that the service was terrible is an understatement. Went there around 1 hour before their closing time, wanting to dine in. Nobody met me at the door and I was looking for anyone to talk to. After I was finally approached by one of the staff while standing by the front desk I immediately made it known that was my first time at their place and asked for any recommendations. After picking a dish I liked while still standing by the front desk and not even being offered to sit I payed around 34 which I found too much but still added a tip. I was told to wait for 15 minutes which I did. At the end they brought my food packed in a bag to take out. I was confused and told them that I didn’t ask for a take out and wanted to dine in, to what they got aggressively disrespectful telling me that their dining in is closed. I was trying to explain that I mentioned the fact that I am a first timer and didn’t know anything about their work regulations to what I was told in an extremely disrespectful manner that I should have known that “anywhere in America” when you order food by the counter that means you take it out. I didn’t have anything else to say but that they are extremely rude and this is not the way they should treat their customers. They gave me the worst experience. Definitely not going there again and warning anyone I know against it. Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1"

"My bf and I were looking for a good Thai food spot since I moved to HB. We are great Thai food fanatics, honestly if we find the right place we would probably eat there once a week. I'm seriously addicted! I am glad to say that my experience in May Thai restaurant was not disappointed! My Bf and I sang here for the first time yesterday. They were not too busy because it was a Sunday afternoon that was nice. It looked like there was only one server working anyway, so it's good that they weren't packed. The restaurant is located in an older stripe shopping center that has plenty of parking, so no problem will be. The restaurant looks super dark from the outside, honestly I asked if they were even open when we arrived. But don't let them flash from their tinted windows and the barely noticeable open sign. They're open! When we entered, they had a sign in the front that advised customers to wait to take place. Wait! There was a customer who tried to sit after us, and they left him back and wait in the line. So take the signs seriously. We sat less than a few minutes on foot, although there was basically no waiting time. The restaurant has a very dark mood for it, somehow fits the way it looks from the outside. The black upholstered seats, mirrored walls and dimming lighting make me think it was a hookah lounge or something like that before. I liked it. Very different. The food is obviously the main point of this review so that I will continue. We ordered the following: Cheese wonton $8.75), Thai fried rice $12.75), pad Thai $13.75, Panang Curry $13.75) and a big Thai tea to drink $6). I'm not sure we have the Crab Langoon or the Cheese Lamp. I know my bf ordered the Crab ringoon, but when he got us out, it looked like the only filling of the cream cheese, so I suppose we have the cheeses instead. Either that or her filling has very little crabs in it. Also the sweet and acidic sauce that came with it was a little watered and thin. That would be my only complaint. Apart from that, everything else was delicious! The fried rice was perfectly cooked, Pad Thai had exactly the right amount of fish sauce in it, so it did not taste too fishy like some other places we tried. The Panang was hot and delicious! Very spicy, but we asked for medium so that what we have! She Thai tea is amazing to the right ratio of tea to cream, so it is not too sweet or tea like. The waiting time for everything was pretty good. From the time we sat and ordered until our food arrived, was probably in the span of about 10 minutes. Not bad. I'll be back in the future! I'm glad to have found a good Thai spot in the OC."
