Rocharin Thai Bistro - Seal Beach

The food was enjoyable, but there were some issues. We were a group of six, including five children and one adult, and we noticed an 18% tip was automatically added to our bill, which wasn't mentioned on the menu. This was quite disappointing. When I inquired about it, the staff couldn't find any information explaining the charge. I was informed that the tip applies to parties of six or more. Additionally, the server wasn't very friendly, which is understandable given the automatic tip policy, but it still detracted from the overall experience.

What a fantastic spot! We kicked off our meal with salad wraps, chicken salads, and spring rolls, all of which were excellent. I opted for the charming chicken served with spicy green beans, paired with a medium spicy Thai peanut sauce (you can choose your spice level). I also upgraded to the garlic rice, and it was absolutely delicious! My friends tried the green curry and Seal Beach noodles, and they were just as pleased with their choices. Plus, the service was exceptional. I will definitely return the next time I'm in the area!

My husband and I absolutely adore this place! They have a happy hour every day until 6:00 PM, where you can enjoy $4 glasses of wine and great beer prices. The appetizers are incredible, and the food is delicious! Plus, the atmosphere is cozy and intimate, and the service is outstanding!

One word: BALANCED So many Thai places can never balance their food. Usually too hard on salt or sugar or both. Not here. Everything was so delicate and tasteful. We have ordered from here a few times and it is consistently delicious. This time I have lunch special. I chose the Cashew chicken with garlic fried rice. You have the GARLIC FRIEDEN RICE!!!! The lunch special comes with a few wontons and salads. I also have the Thai coffee I love. And balanced again. Usually it's too sweet, but you're great. The wife has the Thai iced tea, which is usually too sweet in other places, but not at her. Very recommended.

Rocharin Thai Bistro provides really good customer service. The Green Curry with Vegan Duck is very good: the primary flavors derive from the curry sauce which mixes, and tastes very well with the entire meal. The rice is somewhat soft, and sweet. The meal is filling, rich, and appetite-satisfying. Rocharin Thai Bistro has a decent cool interior though I prefer the outdoor area. As of my most recent visit, all employees wear masks, hand sanitizer is available, and Samsung Pay is an acceptable payment option.
