Still looking for a good Thai spot. The staff was nice and friendly but not sure if it was an off day or if this is really how the food is. Some of the other reviews back up what we experienced. We ordered 4 things to try. Everything was pretty bland and most of the vegetables seemed undercooked. The papaya salad was plain. Where is that sweet, salty, and spicy flavor you expect? The Panang was really watery. The chicken for the drunken noodle was rubbery but there was some spice to the dish which was nice. The garlic rice was a little dry but had some flavor. Overall, I would like to give them another chance but not sure its worth wasting money to do so.

Rocharin Thai Bistro provides really good customer service. The Green Curry with Vegan Duck is very good: the primary flavors derive from the curry sauce which mixes, and tastes very well with the entire meal. The rice is somewhat soft, and sweet. The meal is filling, rich, and appetite-satisfying. Rocharin Thai Bistro has a decent cool interior though I prefer the outdoor area. As of my most recent visit, all employees wear masks, hand sanitizer is available, and Samsung Pay is an acceptable payment option.

Love this place! Cant pronounce the name of the soup but it has lemon grass, shrimp and great flavor. Also, love the soup with coconut milk and lemon grass with shrimp! Would of rate it a 5 star, but they short you on the shrimp (maybe its my greedy a$$ but I love shrimp and these 2 soups!)

I would like said that it is the best Thai restaurant, but I did not find Thai beef jerky. But I highly recommend garlic pepper beef, cashew nut chicken and spicy fried rice. Also the garlic fried rice is amazing.

It was my first time being there and everything was so great for me. The food was really delicious. I have had Thai food at many restaurants but this place was impressive for the food and the service. Good thing they have gluten free food. I tried the tofu soup and to be honest, I had to say “wow, the broth is sooo good”. I highly recommend this place for my family and friends.

Going out to eat is not what it once was... although there were plenty of people picking up food, there were not many in the restaurant itself. I miss those days. As for the food, it was great! Tom Kha soup is creamy, flavorful and hot 🔥. Pad Thai is really good and the Mango Sticky Rice is a great way to end the meal. 🍚🍶🥢#rocharinthaibistro #googleguides #LOCALGUIDES #womenwhoguide #thaifoodlongbeach #longbeachthai

I’ve been eating here for years and the quality of their food has declined. Teriyaki salmon is sometimes over cooked and vegetables watery. Disappointed given the high price. Pickup orders also take too long, waited 20 minutes for mine after giving them half an hour to prepare meal.

Excellent Thai food, likely the best I’ve had in Orange County the last six months. I’m very particular about Thai food and not easy to please, but this place was really impressive. We had green curry and Panaang curry and it was spectacular.

Review №16

At rocharin, everything tasted wonderful. Little did i know.... I ordered the grilled garlic salmon, with sautéed spinach, and it tasted fine. Everything tasted wonderful at the restaurant. Later that night, i went to sleep at around 10:30. I woke up at around two A.M. with a terrible stomach ache. I was throwing up all night from the food here and it made me terribly sick. WARNING: DO NOT EAT THE GARLIC SALMON!!!!

Delicious food! Unfortunately I didnt take many pictures but I can tell you from experience this is authentic Thai. We tried the tom yum soup, panang curry, pineapple fried rice and chicken satay. They were all delicious and the staff is super friendly.

Review №18

Ive been going to Rocharin Thai since 2012. I get my haircut and head/neck/shoulder massage across the parking lot at Salon Meritage. I always either dine-in before the haircut or order to go.The green curry fried rice is so good! I modify it slightly to my liking every time. I have them remove the shrimp and instead replace it with carrots. Its so good, I got Irma, the woman who cuts my hair and owner of Salon Meritage, hooked on the green curry fried rice.The yellow curry, satay, spring rolls and salad is really good. All the food is really good, but I just cant stop ordering the green curry fried rice. Its really hard to find a Thai restaurant that serves it.

For a semi pricey city, this place has very reasonable menu. The phad Thai was so much food - deliciousness all the way. We are Thai food fans, we outta know! My mom said their dishes are very good and I can’t wait to try more. The noodles didn’t leave me tired after which is the case with pasta when I eat it.It was filling yet clean flavors not oily . Heathy entree. The topper was the cold Thai coffee. It had a earthy natural flavor not too sweet but subtle sweet.Very polite sweet people here.They made my moms take out food special.

Nice lunch special selections. Food was pretty good and I would go back. Service was a little slow and unattentive. Maybe because I was drinking solo?

This place is awful. Just spent $30 for 2 dishes with not enough food to feed 1 person. The curry was so spicy it was inedible. The rice wasnt even full. The dish literally had 4 shrimp in it!

Was very disappointed after seeing such high reviews. Ordered drunken noodles, chicken panang, crab fried rice, and a few happy hour appetizers. The panang curry was so watery and had very little meat but lots of either cucumber or zucchini. We couldnt tell what it was by the taste. The fried rice wasnt fried. It was like eating bibimbap, sticky white rice with a lot of oil. Ordered 2 of them, $31 worth of gross. Appetizers and drunken noodles were okay.

This is such a great place for a delicious Thai meal. I usually eat there every month or so. The amazing thing is that the waitress remembered our orders from last time. I was SO impressed!! The service is great and the food is yummy! There is plenty to take home for leftovers! This place is good for a small group, 2-4 people.

Friendly staff and owner is almost there. They have great vegetarian and vegan options and substitutes for almost every meal. If you are vegetarian or vegan, be sure to tell your waiter so that they can make sure to accommodate. They also have four tiers of how much spice youd like to have in your food, so make sure you ask about that if you have a certain preference.

Love this place. We rode are bicycles from Azusa to feel Beach and decided to eat and drink here. Even on a Sunday, they had happy hour from about 4 p.m. to about 6 p.m. The beer was $2.50 a pop, and theyre were delicious appetizers for 4 bucks. On top of that, the food was pretty darn tasty, and the atmosphere was very nice. Could not recommend this place highly enough.

I was meeting two co-workers for lunch at 11:00 am (when they open). I was there at 11:00 am sharp and took a peek inside, the staff greeted me and I told them I was waiting for two more, they invited me to sit inside and wait and immediately there were three waters on the table and friendly smiles from the staff. I sincerely felt welcomed, in fact, they kind of made me feel like they had been waiting for me and were happy I was there... It just got better from that point on... the food was excellent, the presentation marvelous and the staff above and beyond. I highly recommend Rocharin Thai Bistro, if you like Thai food you will love this place, if you like being treated like royalty; well, welcome home.

We ventured away from our usual neighborhood Thai joint to check this place out. We love Thai food, and the food here was really good, tasty and spiced just right. The service was friendly but could have been more attentive. And, I wish the rice portion that comes with the curry was a little bigger. Those are the only reasons I’m not giving it a 5-star rating. The food portions are generous, and delectable. I recommend this place and will definitely eat here again.

Great lunch special with quick and great service. I tried the drunken noodles with pork. Lunch special came with soup, salad, and wontons. Drunken noodles were good because they had some veggies mixed in too so your not just straight up loading up on carbs. I want to go back and try some different items. Also parking is easy which is always a nice plus.

RTB was a flavorful experience, we enjoyed our visit here starting with the wine from N Z to all the dishes we tried. The eggplant stood out as a favorite, but truthfully everything was great and well flavored . Service was good and friendly, been there a couple times and it get better each time .

I’ve eaten here twice and I have to say, this is probably the least authentic Thai food I’ve ever had. I gave it one more try to see if it was just the dish I had the first time, but I tried a few other dishes my second time and my husband and I aren’t impressed at all. The Satè is bland, tough, hard to chew and flavorless. The basil stir fry was tremendously disappointing. The main flavor is bamboo shoots to be honest. The Green curry was okay, pretty tasty but felt very heavy and not an authentic flavor in my opinion. The first time I ate here I had the Tom Yum and it was just alright, once again not an impressive dish. We won’t be going back.

Traveling thru and stopped for lunch. The dining room was much more upscale than I expected. Had just what I wanted, and other unique options I would have also liked to partake of. When it was served, the presentation was just as upscale as the dining room. Hostess was very personable. Prices were nominal. This would be a frequent dining spot if I lived here. Great for families, too,not just the biz-caz diner.
