When we don't want to go too far from home and craving Thai takeout, Chaba does it for us. Don't let its little obscure corner location deceive you. The food is delish. Pad see ew is our go-to dish. Given its smallness and lack of more good Thai food options in the vicinity, the table service and take-out takes a bit more time. But you can't rush goodness.

I was craving thai food and came across Chaba on Yelp. so thankful i tried - it's a hidden GEM. YALL. need, no must try this combo - tom kha soup (mild), pad thai, and pineapple fried rice. it was so authentic, creamy, flavorful, and just SPECTACULAR. I was worried the coconut flavor in the tom kha soup would be strong but nope - it had the perfect amount of coconut - it's my FAVORITE dish from here. I ordered take out and it was amazing. Can't imagine how much better it'll be in the restaurant! definitely visiting again! free spacious parking, friendly staff, clean facilities, lots of seating

Can't believe I've never been here and I live down the street! It's hidden in the corner of the Joe Shmoes parking lot. When we walked in the place was pretty crowded and I felt like since it's a small place they were short staffed cause there was a lot of dirty tables and we just sat at the only clean one, besides that the food was so fresh and delicious. The basil beef was so good and the egg rolls and soup was amazing. Would definitely go back.

Please please please.........try their pineapple fried rice, tom katsu soup, chicken satay, beef pad thai, and their Thai tea are bomb !!! Super friendly service this is my 4th visit

This review is long overdue. This place offers some of the most affordable and delicious Thai food in Orange County. They're generous with their portions of beef, chicken, and shrimp, all cooked to perfection. Our go-to dishes are pad see ew, pad thai, spaghetti keemow, spicy basil chicken wings, Thai fried rice, and chicken satay. The food is consistently excellent, though it can take a while to prepare since only 2-3 people work there. For online pickup orders, expect a wait time of about 30-40 minutes. Overall, it's absolutely worth it!

Tis place authentic and tasty food. I love curry chicken, papaya salad, basil pork, crab fried rice, and chicken satay! Medium size restaurant ,FAMILY OWNED Service was great.

This is my go-to favorite Thai place all around. I love everything I've ever ordered here. My usual order is pad thai or mild green curry. Chaba never disappoints. The prices are hard to beat (especially the lunch deals), and the service is always friendly and fast. It's a nice cozy little space with some TVs inside. Highly recommend!

What a nice find! We were looking for a new Thai restaurant, one which we had not yet tried or had heard about. Then it pops up on Yelp! The menu had many different dishes. We opted for 2 of their daily lunch specials; Orange Chicken and Chicken Pad Thai, with a side of egg rolls. Our lunches came with a very nice salad. The dressing was most delightful. Our entrees were both delicious, but also plentiful. Our leftovers will be enjoyed tonight! The service was excellent. Absolutely no negative comments in this regard. I had read in other comments how the air conditioning had been set on Antarctic. Well kids, it still is. But considering the heat and humidity, the coolness was more pleasant than annoying. Bring your hongrey's and try this little jewel.

Omg. Ok, where do I start? Haha well first of all, I'm glad my friend recommended this place to me awhile back and I finally had a chance to try it! I'm a bit disappointed in myself that it has taken me this long to come here! Tsk tsk! Anyway, hubs and I had a date night and came around 630 on a Saturday night. It had two people outside and going in the guy said they need to put me on waitlist which is understandable since it's a small place and I believe family owned so only two people serving. They were very nice and took my number. It didn't take long for the wait.. maybe 10-15 mins. We ordered glass noodle with shrimp and chicken, pineapple fried rice, pad thai and panang curry. WOWWWWW! the flavors at this place is amazing!!! I think hands down best pad Thai I've had. The panang was so flavorful.... Just the right amount of spice. Just be careful if you aren't used to eating Thai food. Their spicy Is burning hot. Mild to them is a medium of most haha. But it won't matter cause it's so good!!! I'll be back and I have a few things I want to try already. My friend raves about their wings. So I'll be back for those for sure! I don't usually give 5 stars but this place deserves it! MUST TRY! Now! Don't wait long like me haha
