Thippawan Thai Restaurant

This place deserves all the stars not just for the food but the amazing and wonderful staff and service. I had called a couple days ahead to let them know I’d have a big group coming in. They were so kind and professional. They provided the best service along with good food. We all enjoyed our meals. Please come and support this local business.

Checked out this amazing Thai restaurant open on Easter Sunday and it was great, service was very quick and friendly. As soon as you walk in you’re greeted and seated right away. Enjoyed some fresh delicious food which was brought out in less than 15 minutes you’ll have your whole order. Started off with Thai pork jerky, which was so good and fresh to order, had a very tasty full of flavor sauce for dipping. Also enjoyed traditional pad see ew which was so delicious. Couldn’t forget the soup , enjoyed Tom Yum soup which was full of amazing flavors. Everything was perfect. This is a really good restaurant to bring the family, sharing size portions. The waiter was great very friendly and helped us choose the appetizer. Definitely recommend if you’re with the family in the area!

Very great service and food. It was delicious and not too pricey. The soup had a lot of seafood the chicken BBQ was so tasty. I would recommend

Great place. Taste very authentic to Thai cuisines found in Thailand. The staff are very friendly and helpful and explaining all the dishes.

Food is always amazing! My favorite is their pineapple fried rice. Usually I’m a curry girl which I really like too but out of many Thai spots I’ve tried all over California this is my favorite pineapple fried rice.

The first time I visited the restaurant, the food was great and had a good flavor 💯 the service was great. If you love Thai food you must come and try it. First impression excelente.

I want to give this place five stars, but I haven't tried enough items yet. However, I will be back to try other things and can update my rating then. Moving along, I usually write long reviews, but I'll be brief this time. I came on a Friday evening and it wasn't packed at all. I got seated quickly, and the host put me in a booth and wiped down my table before sitting. I liked that. Then my server came and took my drink order, and before I forget, this girl was awesome! A short cutie wearing glasses by the name of Marissa, we went over food options, and I liked her suggestions and honesty; she was attentive, helpful, and personal. I wasn't too hungry, so I got the wontons that Marissa said wouldn't be very filling and would be like eating chips. She was right. She steered me to a Stir-Fry entree with ground pork, and it was delicious. So I'll be back to try other things that are hopefully as good. I was truly impressed by how immaculate the bathrooms were, which really should be a standard at all restaurants. Marissa told me they put a lot of effort into keeping the restrooms clean as it reflects how you may think of the kitchen, and if the bathroom is dirty, you'll be thinking the same thing about the kitchen. All in all, this is a cool joint in the cut to find a new favorite dish. Be mindful that the parking lot can be a bit of a mess on the side closest to the storefronts due to all the traffic.

2023 dine in review: Prices are now about $15 per item. Serving sizes are good. Both dishes we got (pad see ew and spicy fried rice) were both good, but a bit sweeter than we'd prefer. We asked for the spicy fried rice to be mild, but it wasn't spicy at all in the end. Great table service! 2021 takeout review: Great prices ($9), good portions! Both dishes we had were very good. And customer service was very polite, friendly, and meal was ready right at the quoted time.

Every time I come here I'm happy. Excellent flavor, fast service, good value. Favorites are pad see ew and exotic fried rice.

Have you eaten rice yet? My favorite Thai saying, it's literally how you ask ,"how are you?" The rice here, the pad Thai, the chicken satay, all fabulous! The curry however: too soupy and watery! I prefer my curry thick, like a thick sauce/gravy basically. We sent it back to be thickened but I think that there was a language barrier because when they brought it back to us, it was still exactly the same, but the lady was smiling so happily that we didn't say anything. It still tasted very good though. The ambience is laid back, not a fancy place. Fake plastic plants on the tables. Hip-hop and other random American music play in the restaurant, not the traditional Thai that I usually hear in Thai restaurants. The place was very crowded and busy, a good sign. I have to say that the shrimp pad Thai was absolutely fantastic. They usually make the pad Thai too dry with not enough sauce and it was very saucy, very yummy. I couldn't stop eating it, and that peanut sauce. ......Oh my God!!! It was so good, we asked for extra peanut sauce twice. Price wise it's not too bad, less than i expected. It was close to $65 for everything.

so good!!! Such a hole-in-wall place worth a try. Food was fabulous, service was quick, helpful, and super kind. Our order: Egg rolls - so crunchy, delicious sauce, great amount of filling Pad Thai w/shrimp: perfectionnnnnn Yellow seafood curry: so rich, plenty of seafood. They even realized they forgot potatoes and brought us a mini bowl of potatoes in the curry. So thoughtful! Really wonderful. I wish the place was aesthetically more pleasing. It's a little dark and bland, but the food is all the aesthetics you need!

This Thai restaurant stands out as the best in town. We always start with an order of Tom Kha Soup to share, and the flavor never disappoints. This soup is a required order every time we dine here. The pineapple Fried Rice is another dish we consistently enjoy. While we sometimes order the Pad Thai, which is delicious, we have recently been opting for the yellow curry, as it is perfectly suited to the colder weather. The spices and flavors are outstanding. We also highly recommend the cashew nut chicken, and their wonton soup is not to be missed. Th servers are always polite and friendly as well. The restaurant is clean and spacious.

This is my favorite local Thai spot in the inland Empire. Food is always presented beautifully and consistently good! Service is always efficient and stellar.

It is always my favorite Thai place in Rancho Cucamonga. I didn't take pictures but my favorite dishes Pad Thai, Pad prink

I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Great food, great staff always friendly, with great service.

Great place to eat with super friendly service and great food! The restaurant is clean and comfortable! Servers are very attentive and will not leave your glass unfilled! Highly recommend, as they hit it out of the park!

We recently visited Thippawan Thai Restaurant and had an great dining experience that I can't wait to share. We started with the crispy Calamari, that just sets up your palate for something good to come. The Crispy Fish Fillet served with an apple and cashew sauce. The combination was delightful, as the sweetness of the apple perfectly complemented the crispy texture of the fish. It was a refreshing start to our meal. Next, I indulged in my all-time favorite, the Beef Panang Curry. As always, it did not disappoint! The rich, creamy sauce paired beautifully with the tender beef, creating a comforting dish that I could enjoy time and again. The Seafood Tom Kha was another highlight. If you love the flavors of coconut and lemongrass, this dish is a must-try. It was bursting with flavor and the seafood was fresh and well-prepared, making every spoonful a delight. Lastly, we ordered the Fried Rice, which was cooked to perfection. The rice was fluffy and flavorful, serving as a great accompaniment to our main dishes. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations with their delicious offerings and vibrant flavors.Friendly staff and great customer service, clean restaurant. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Thai cuisine!

The service was great. However, the Thai yellow curry wasn't as good as we would have expected. It was cold, the potato was under cooked in the curry. A little disappointed for the curry. Highly recommend all of the Thai noodle dishes. We also got the pad see ew, tastes fantastic and authentic. I wish we only got the noodles and not the curry. My girl got the curry and she not happy with it. Girl not happy, me not happy... Otherwise, the Thai pork jokey was tender and the parking was convenient. Good for family gatherings and small dates. Just stick with the noodles, don't do the curry.

10/10 - The service was great, food came out quickly & everyone was friendly & super attentive. Food was so delicious & flavorful. Highly recommend!

Can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review for this place. It's one of my favorite spots for Thai food. The flavor is always consistent and the staff is so friendly every time. I have never eaten inside the restaurant since I always order takeout, but it's always great. The portions are good, one dish easily serves two to three people. Highly recommend!

This place shocked me honestly. I was not expecting the interior of the restaurant to not only be extremely spacious, but modern as well. The service was incredible and the food was tasty. My only note is the curry was a bit too sweet compared to what I was anticipating, but I truly don't see a reason neverto return.

Delicious!!!! Must try when you're in this area! We got the cashew stir fry spicy level and it was so spicy! They do not play around with the heat the pad see ew beef was so good, the flavors and the noodles were perfectly made! I would definitely be back to try more dishes. The serve was also so attentive and kind. Forgot to take pictures!

Our first time last night at this Thai restaurant and they have a forever customer now. We had the chicken chow mein, combination fried rice with chicken steak and shrimp, egg rolls and Tum Yum Soup. All items were GREAT!! The restaurant was busy but they waiters made sure to come consistently to ask if we needed anything. The customer service, the clean restaurant and yummy food are definitely worth trying this restaurant.

Thippawan is very good if you consider that there's a smaller Thai population this far east of LA. The servers are super friendly and the restaurant is very spacious and clean. The first thing I noticed while here was how clean the bathrooms were. It's a strange comment, but if you've ever been to some restaurants in LA, the bathrooms are awful. And better yet, if the bathrooms at Thippawan are this clean, I can only imagine how clean their kitchen prep is when making our food. Big A+ for that. The food itself is very basic Thai cuisine with your standard Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and Thai Fried Rice offerings. The food is very good, but nothing that will blow your mind. We really enjoyed the food. And if you check in with Yelp, they give you a complimentary Thai Iced Tea. Overall, good restaurant.

Amazing food and service! Definitely one of the best thai places i've had out here. super good food!!!

the service here is always so fast and friendly. i love this place and the food. its a casual place, but very comfortable. they are consistently a 10/10 !! thank you thippawan

Cozy Thai food! Had a small wait time for Mother's Day but they were very popular. Nice but nothing stellar

Yes! Be sure to ask for "vegan style" when ordering (fried rice eligible and noodles except pad Thai) the waitstaff was very attentive and went back to confirm with chefs for vegan options. Overall delicious!! Will be coming back again.

I always go here to get pad see ew for my kids and I would get the Tom Yum soup we use to go to the one in North Hollywood but now we go here, closer to our house

Ordered takeout today and it was excellent. The Pad Thai was very tasty, the orange chicken was tasty and expecially loved the Red Curry. I like it spicy but ordered medium for my wife. The food was ready on time and the order was hot and complete. My wife liked the decor so we will have to eat there next time!

I've had this place bookmarked for a while and I'm so glad I finally had a chance to try it. The staff were so friendly and greeted me right away. I ordered the following: Pad See Ew Chicken (Lunch Special) Thippawan Fried Rice (Medium) Thai Ice Tea The Pad See Ew was delicious! The noodles were so fresh and the Chinese broccoli was cooked perfectly - the right amount of crunch without the bitterness. And had that nice char on the noodles that is expected when ordering Pad See Ew. Honestly probably the best Pad See Ew I've had in a while, especially in the IE! The fried rice was good, but def not the best I've had. Favor is decent, spice level was just right, but the only thing I would change is the egg. If the egg was a salted duck egg it would have been so much better! Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and will be back.

This is my favorite Thai restaurant! The Kai Kua is phenomenal!! I could eat their wonton soup every single day and the cream cheese wontons are always perfect! Other favorites include pad Thai, gyoza, and beef pad say ew. Last night we got the beef fried rice and it was sooo good! The staff are all really nice and engaging! Never had a bad server or bad food!

i ordered their crab fried rice and yellow curry seafood with added spice (this doesn't come with rice so we ordered a side of white rice as well) i ordered for to go and the wait wasn't too long so that was good everything was very flavorful and the yellow curry was very creamy and had the perfect amount of spice after adjusting it. i really enjoyed both dishes and i would come back to try other menu items!

Service is great! Greeted upon arrival. Server is friendly and helpful. Love that they have a lunch special. It's in the same plaza as the Indian market. They offer to call you if you order to go, that way you don't have to wait inside as there are lots of other places to check out in this shopping plaza. I ordered the drunken noodles with chicken, medium spice level. It was good, just wish it had more meat. Love that it comes with egg rolls and a salad! Solid 7/10.

Pad Thai and Pad See Ew taste good. Thai tea is kinda sweet but taste like real Thai tea. Favorite Thai place in the city.

Tried this place for the first time today.. FOOD is AMAZING!!!! Especially the orange chicken thee BEST orange chicken I've ever had. They don't make anything until you order so everything was 100% fresh and so delicious. Plating was very beautiful SERVICE the workers here really take care of you, always making sure we had everything we needed. They never had us waiting for anything. They never even let my drink get more than half way empty AMBIANCE Very clean welcoming and friendly Loved every bit of my dine in experience Was so excited to eat I forgot to take pictures of the food before digging in.

The place is very spacious. Customer service was good! I tried the pad Thai and it was tasty! It didn't blow my mind away, but it was delish and I would order again. The egg rolls were also super delish, probably my favorite part. I would definitely come again to try time thing else!

The food is so good here I've done take out and dined in many times and the food has always been so good. Service is great and overall not a busy place to eat at. Not crowded either, maybe just on weekends.

Update since my review in 2021: Prices are now about $15 per item. Serving sizes are good. Both dishes we got (pad see ew and spicy fried rice) were both good, but a bit sweeter than we'd prefer. We asked for the spicy fried rice to be mild, but it wasn't spicy at all in the end. Great table service!

First time here with my husband. We ordered lunch specials- pad Thai and bbq chicken. The portions are big and price is reasonable. Lunch special comes with salad and an egg roll. My Pad Thai was overly sweet, and had too much sauce. My husband liked the bbq chicken. Portion was good and chicken was seasoned well. Servers were attentive to us, we would recommend this place.

The food was amazing. We ordered food for 8 people and we had lots of left over. The yellow and red curry are delicious and spice level was perfect. Great portion for the pad see yu and phathai noodles. Eggroles were pretty big and loved the sauce. We ordered our food to go but, next time will dine in. The restaurant is really spacious in the inside

My husband and I have had takeout twice now with this restaurant. We really like their curries, and pad Thai. Their pad Thai is more on the savory side, which I prefer, but I know some may prefer it sweeter. The service is always on time with their estimates. I also like the dimmed lighting vibe in this restaurant.

I had the pad thai and the garlic green beans. The food was excellent and the servers were very attentive . The place have a very friendly atmosphere. I recommend this restaurant for your thai food cravings.

We just had lunch here and all 4 of us loved it!! The food is high quality and tastes amazing. Everyone who works here is so nice. I can't wait to bring my family for either lunch or dinner soon.

Thippawan Thai Restaurant, is one of the "BEST" Thai restaurants I've ever been to - the food is beyond delicious, always fresh, always very tasty, and overall, never greasy, done to perfection - The servers are very courteous, friendly, and very, very, attentive - especially, Marissa, Celena, and Oliver - always very welcoming! Honestly, it is worth the drive to Rancho Cucamonga - 10/10

I want to start this review saying we loved this place. That's why it is so painful to write such a bad review but I just couldn't let this go. Abysmal customer service along with a giant long hair baked into our food. Once we let the server know there was an issue. She made no attempt to rectify the situation-- only offering to remake it. Fine. We decided to take that and asked for it to go. We made it home to realize they just repackaged OUR ORIGINAL dinner in a to go container. WTF. Seriously never going here again.

omg this place is sooo good!! service is excellent! the server was so kind and really attentive. i wish i took a picture of the food but everything was so good. the food was SO flavorful and seasoned so well. i will DEFINITELY be coming back :)

Best Thai hands down. Ive only dined in once, very pleasant. Otherwise, I always get takeout. Food is always on time and hot. Quality is consistently excellent. Prices have gone up a bit in the last years, to be expected, but I no longer order the rice and cook it myself because it comes out to $10-15 for rice for myself and family. There are other Thai restaurants much closer to me, but the 15-20 minute drive here has always been worth it.

Ordered pick up from here - my first time trying and it did not disappoint Staff was very friendly and communicated great on how long it would take- offered to call me when order was ready while I shopped at the cool market next door Tried their shrimp Tom yum, beef pad see ew, tofu panang curry and Thai iced tea- everything was delicious Even ordered a not spicy shrimp noodle soup for the kids - perfect level of flavor for them to enjoy even without the spice Definitely recommend and look forward to trying more dishes

Soooooo delicious! We had the tofu pad Thai and red curry with tofu. 10/10 would recommend.

Took the parents here to try something new. I hadn't been since it opened. the food was still great and the servers were very friendly. We started with pot stickers which were great, and then had a pad Thai, a curry and pops got a spicy cashew plate.

Mild Spice Tom Kha: first of all the price is really high for Tom Kha (even the non seafood one), they used portobello mushrooms instead of enoki mushrooms which was the first sign that this wasn't going to be anything special. The broth was too sour, likely because of too much lemongrass, and it wasn't creamy and lacked a hint of pine sugar like some of the best Tom Kha's I've had. I would not purchase this again. Medium Spice Red Curry: My initial taste of the curry was good. It was creamy, spicy, and had a good thickness. The critique is I wish it had more meat and I wish there was more broth. It was a pretty small portion size given the price. It's definitely the go to dish over the Tom Kha. Service was quick and everyone was very nice. The place is clean. Overall I would not come back just because I was not blown away by the Tom Kha which is such a staple Thai dish. In addition, the price points were a little high for a basic Thai restaurant.

We have dined at this restaurant for years, including picking to go during the pandemic but our experience tonight was extremely disappointing. The restaurant was not any busier than other night but the service was terrible. It took 15 minutes for the waiter to bring us the menu and then another 10 minutes before they attempted to take our order. Meanwhile the other waitress was catering to another table that took at least 10 minutes to order while we waited without any menus. She repeatedly went back to that table like they were special and totally ignore us. Treatment like that is how you lose long time customers. We could not wait any longer and walked up and left. Too bad, it used to be a great place.

First time visit for lunch. Very nice restaurant, not too crowded. The Hostess and waitress were were nice, very helpful. Ordered Pad Thai lunch special and the pork jerky. Both were very good, the special came with salad and eggroll. I will definitely be back to try other dishes, but the jerky will be a reorder, for sure.

Our go-to thai place in Rancho Cucamonga. My family loves thai food but this has been our go to ever since we stumbled upon this. i always have a hard time only ordering one entree because they're all so good. I have to choose between my favorite yellow curry or pad see ew and sometimes change it up with pad thai! The service is top of the line and attentive. I love coming here! It can get a lil packed weekends lunch and dinner.

I've been craving good Thai food and this may be the place. I've had a place in Upland and although it was satisfying, it was just ok and I need more than ok. I ordered some Thai iced tea, the egg rolls, the drunken noodles and the house fried rice. I was pleased with each of the items and I appreciated how quickly they got the food ready, how kind they were when I picked up my food and the pricing of the food. Next time, I might do a sit-in for a change of pace but it's definitely good enough where I'd like to come back.
