Reviews for Manaow Thai in Long Beach, CA
Holy S***. I haven't written a review for a place this quickly after I've eaten there. First off, the ambiance is sleek, yet... cozy and the sitting arrangement (booths and benches) makes you feel like you're going to have an intimate experience not justwith your fellow diners, but with your food too. The service was quick, hospitable and informative. Can't ask for more. Butthen, there's the food. The ribs gave me a religious experience and for a brief second they made me forget that I can't moanlike a cow inside a restaurant. With my eyes rolling in the back of my head, I tried the the Pad Thai which was subtle, but yetplentiful and fresh. Lastly, after my soul had rested, I tried some of my girlfriend's Tom Kha soup which sent me back to theheavens with it's creaminess, slight spiciness and rich flavor. What made me even happier was that despite the additional two(unnecessary but superb) Thai teas, our total was under $65! Plus, we took part of the Pad Thai and Tom Kha to-go. So, if you'refrom the neighborhood, it's a must, and if you're not from the neighborhood, it's a should. Read more
I don't know where to start.... I came here with my GF on 08/24/22 and this place blew our taste buds! Everything was... surprisingly delicious and had so much flavor. The staff was very nice and accommodating. I had forgot to mention that I had apeanut allergy after they had taken our order and brought over the papaya salad with peanuts on top. I then notified thewaitress that I was allergic. She immediately removed the papaya salad and brought over a new one with a smile on her face. Ihad already felt bad and kept apologizing, but she kept smiling and insisted it wasn't a problem. This right there was already agreat experience and the best customer service I had received in a long time at a restaurant. The papaya salad tasted so goodonce we had taken a bite. Soon there after we received more and more food. The flight of drinks came and if you didn't know,they will give you a free drink in actual size for the one you like the most. This was a very hard decision to make as each onetasted so good, but we went with the classic Thai Tea. Next, we had the beef skewers and this had to be our favorite dish. Thesauce paired with the beef skewers was so so so good! Finally, we had the pad see ew and green curry with steamed rice. Overall,I'd definitely come back again with friends and family to share this amazing Thai food. Cause with good food, it's even betterwhen you share it with the people you love. Read more

Dinner was amazing at Manaow. We are pretty local to this area and decided to get dinner while getting some laundry done next... door. The wings were sticky and crispy. Really enjoyed their take on it. The mango sticky rice was expected to be good and itwas! For our mains the Pad Thai was classic and flavorful. I got the Northern noodles and those were different, but if you can'tdecide between curry or noodles, that's the way to go. Read more
I quite like this Thai restaurant; it is bright and cheerful inside, it seems like a common gathering spot for the local... community; the staff are friendly; prices are decent; and the food is great. One note: they're not kidding around with spicelevels! Medium spice was for me full on spicy (i.e. where the spice starts to compete with the flavor). I really enjoy thisplace and have been back several times. Read more
