The 10 Best Thai Restaurants in Long Beach (2026)
This list ranks Long Beach’s top Thai restaurants using a Google-review-based method updated for 2026. We weight average ratings by review counts to balance score and popularity, so a high-rated place with many reviews ranks differently than a tiny sample. Thai food is popular across Long Beach and neighboring pockets, from downtown corridors to residential strips, offering both quick takeout and sit-down options. These picks reflect what diners have said on Google; use this as a starting point for where to explore next in the city and nearby neighborhoods.
This ranking is computed from Google reviews (our method). Listings marked Partner are paid advertising spots: they sit alongside the ranking without changing its order.

Frequently asked questions
How were these Thai restaurants chosen and ranked?
We ranked businesses using Google review data and a Bayesian-weighted score that balances average rating with number of reviews. That approach reduces the impact of very small sample sizes and favors consistently highly rated places with sufficient feedback. The list was updated for 2026.
What should I check before visiting a Thai restaurant in Long Beach?
Check recent Google reviews for current service, menu availability, and hours, since those can change. Look at the restaurant’s posted hours and whether they offer takeout, delivery, or reservations if those services matter to you.
How much should I expect to spend at a typical Thai restaurant?
Prices vary by style and portion size, but Thai restaurants commonly offer a range from casual counter-service options to fuller sit-down meals. Check the menu online or call ahead to get a sense of typical dish prices before you go.
When is the best time to call or visit a Thai restaurant for faster service?
Weekday midday hours or mid-afternoon tend to be less busy than typical dinner times; calling ahead during peak dining hours can save waiting time. If you need specific accommodations or a large order, call in advance to confirm timing and availability.
