Manaow - Long Beach

I just recently moved to the area and was looking for a nice local Thai restaurant. While the service and staff were 10/10, the food was just alright. I've had better pad Thai, but it wasn't bad! I'll definitely be frequenting this restaurant since I'm local but I wish it was up to par with what I'm used to.

Highly recommended.The food was great, and they have a special drink which is come with a tester, and then you have to choose out of five tester . Peaceful environment inside and so nice outdoor sitting area with great service which I give them 5 stars.Absolutely delicious Thai food comes with fresh dishes. They have restroom inside and parking available in the lot. We went for lunch and we really love this place. The waitress was so friendly and explained their menu with patient.

This is my favorite Thai /Fusion restaurant in Long Beach! It is so good, it is my requested Birthday food location. I am vegetarian, and there are plenty of options. It is worth the 20-30 minute drive. My favorite with soft tofu is the Panang Curry, followed closely by the Artichoke curry, Pad See Ew Noodles, Pad Thai and Papaya Salad. My (non-veg) family also enjoys the Drunken Noodles with chicken. Enjoy!

This used to be my go-to Thai restaurant due to the distance but lately I've been venturing out more to go to Long Beach Thai for their boat noodles and Chiang Rai for their Khao-soi. FYI I preferred noodles soups than pan-fried noodles.I've tried their Khao-soi (northern style curried noodles which I thought it was really good when I first had it after coming back from Thailand. The price on this is $16 which I feel is almost the same everywhere in CA and not a lot of Thai restaurants offer this dish.Other dishes that I tried was the catfish with curry sauce which was good. The papaya salad was okay. I also got the duck or larb salad(? which I thought it was on the cusp of bad since it was served with like ONE big piece of cabbage but the protein was good. The worst dish I tried was the lunch special, Thai omelette for $12. I remember calling the restaurant about the ground chicken and they said it's in there. When I checked, it was very TINY and sparingly pieces of ground chicken in a plain omelette. They should update this dish or remove it because it was SO disappointing and sad.

I really enjoyed this visit! The restaurant had plenty of parking and there was no wait when we arrived with a party of 7. We ordered a variety of foods for the table, which I did not partake in because I'm currently on a sad, sad diet, but it looked soooo good when it came out!! I wasn't the one who did the family-style ordering, so I'm not exactly sure what they ordered, but the fried tamarind chicken wings and crispy mee noodles looked fantastic. Eyes were hungry.I was checking out the beverage flight that they offered for $9, which is basically a sample of all their drinks. In the end, you decide what your favorite is, and they'll give you a full-size drink of that one. I love that! I also did not partake in this due to my sad diet.What I DID order was the baked shrimp glass noodles, which I really enjoyed. It was really tasty and I would order it again if I'm ever in the area. The service was good, and overall, I really liked this restaurant. The prices were really affordable. I live in Los Angeles, so it was really refreshing seeing that good Thai places out here weren't charging an arm and a leg.
