Sanamluang Thai Cuisine

“ I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sanamluang, and I can confidently say that this particular location has exceeded my expectations! While I’m familiar with their other spots in the Valley and Thai Town, this visit was a delightful first. Sanamluang has always been known for their outstanding Thai cuisine, and this experience reaffirmed that reputation. The service was impeccable – attentive without being intrusive, which made for a truly enjoyable meal. I dined with friends and we decided to indulge by ordering a wide array of dishes. I’m pleased to report that every single one was a burst of flavor and satisfaction, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to culinary excellence. The only dish that fell slightly short for me was the papaya salad. To be fair, I have a bit of a shrimp allergy, and while I usually don't have issues with tiny dried shrimp, I played it safe this time and requested that they exclude it. As a result, the salad lacked the depth of flavor I expected. Here’s a rundown of what we ordered: Papaya Salad: Good but could have used a bit more spice and shrimp (this one’s on me). Green Chicken Curry: Creamy, perfectly balanced, and delicious without being overly spicy. Drunken Noodles: A satisfying and flavorful dish that hit all the right notes. Pork Larb: A fresh and zesty delight that I couldn't get enough of. Crispy Fried Pork Belly with bell peppers (Pad kra prao): Utterly irresistible, with a perfect crunch! Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Sanamluang. It has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the Inland Empire, and I can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu. Whether you're a long-time fan of Thai food or just looking for a great place to eat, this restaurant should be at the top of your list! ”

“ I came here last night with a big group, and by the end of the night, I can honestly say it was worth the wait. The restaurant is in a pretty small plaza just off the freeway, and parking is super limited, especially during busy hours. There were cars waiting around for quite a while, and most of us ended up parking on the side streets. We had to wait about 40 minutes before getting seated. Once it was our turn, we were seated right away. Our server brought out drinks quickly and gave us plenty of time to figure out what we wanted. Since we had a large group, we ordered a bunch of different dishes and shared everything. The portion sizes were big, which made it easy to try a little of everything. The Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and curries were all really good. But the dish that stood out the most was the Indian curry noodles with beef soup. If it’s your first time here and you’re not sure what to get, definitely go with that one. I had the red curry, which was solid, but those noodles were on another level. Service was quick and efficient. A lot of the staff might not speak English fluently, so don’t expect a ton of small talk, but they were friendly and got everything we needed. All in all, I was really happy with the experience and I’d absolutely come back next time I’m in the area. ”

“ Food is so good. Was craving Thai and this is the spot to go! ***FYI: parking is limited in the designated lot. Please don’t park in the other side near the dentist area, your car will get towed**** We got Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mow, and Red Curry. I got medium spicy for the PAD KEE MOW, I loved it!!! Flavor is so balanced with the heat of the spice. I think next time I’ll get a level spicier than medium. Pad Thai was also very good! The fresh bean spouts and the lime wedge really gives it flavor. The Red Curry was also good but not as spicy as I would have liked. The ambiance was very well lit during dinner time. The place feels very clean and modern. Service was good too. They would check up to see if you’re doing ok and refill water without asking. I would come here again! ”

“ Update: after dinning at other local Thai places, we kept coming back to this place. The ingredients are always fresh and the staff is always friendly and attentive. Today, I tried its fried rice with pork. It was one of the better Thai fried rices anywhere. It wasn’t overly greasy or heavily flavored. This is our favorite Thai restaurant. If you like traditional Thai food, then this is the place as you won’t find “fusion” dishes. Thus it is also one of the few Thai places in this area that serves both Northern and southern Thai cuisines. So it’s a rare find. The pork leg over rice is what I had today and it’s a Northern (very similar to Chinese food in that region). It was very well cooked and tasty. The Indian Curry Noodles were very good as well with coconut curry (not sure why it’s called Indian curry). The service was friendly and fast. The prices were more than reasonable as the owner has done a great job keeping the prices to the pre-inflation level. Highly recommended. ”

“ Stopped for lunch on our way from Palm Springs to LA. Food and service was great, and fast. Bustling atmosphere, obviously a popular place for lunch. Be sure to follow their parking instructions so you don’t get towed. Reasonable pricing. Easy on and off from the I10. ”

“ One of the best Thai Restaurants in CA. Food tastes consistent. Servers are always pleasant and attentive. Portions are adequate. Prices are not too high. ”

“ I’ve been coming to this restaurant (a different location then this one) for years and years and they’re are always good. Service was good even though it was busy during lunch. My family and I always get our own entree and share a soup or two so we always get lots of good food! Thim our server was very helpful and sweet! ”

“ It is my FAVORITE Thai restaurant!!! It has delicious and flavorful food!! I ALWAYS take my friends and family to this place! And everyone that I've recommended it to, has made it one of their preferred restaurants to go for Thai food. It has a great atmosphere, friendly service, they are ALWAYS busy! So plan ahead. They close at 10pm on the weekends. Great for first dates! Definitely nice!! it's much better than casual but not luxurious. Perfect place to impress because of the great food and comfortably enjoy a good time to get to know someone. Competitive prices and to me? Most of the plates (if not all) are meant to be shared. So try to start with only one plate/ soup, rice and maybe an appetizer. I have yet to try a plate that I don't like... Every time I've gone has been an awesome experience. ”
