"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."
