In search of a new favorite Southeast Asian spot?
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best affordable Southeast Asian restaurants around Anaheim, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to meet your needs.
1. Thai Lingo Restaurant
Topping the list is Thai Lingo Restaurant. Located at 118 N. Tustin Ave., the Thai spot is the highest-rated low-priced Southeast Asian restaurant in Anaheim, boasting four stars out of 208 reviews on Yelp. On the menu, look for Thai barbecue pork spare ribs, seafood curry fried rice or pineapple curry.
Mike K. noted, "The chicken larb is as good as it gets and the owners are really nice folks."
Yelper Ann S. wrote, "Delicious Thai food... [The] prik khing crispy pork is good. It's the crispiest crispy pork ever. [The] green curry and red curry is great. The spicy level is quite mild. Atmosphere is so-so, but food is good."
2. Thuyen Vien
Next up is Southwest Anaheim's Thuyen Vien, situated at 1740 S. Euclid St. With 4.5 stars out of 1,202 reviews on Yelp, the vegan and Vietnamese spot has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for a low-priced option. The menu features jicama rice paper rolls, banana flower tacos, fried rice with soy shrimp and soy pork, or soy duck noodle soup.
Lucky N. noted, "...Everything is vegetarian here and... it almost looks and tastes like real meat... Because all the dishes are made from soy, they tasted very flavorful and/or saucy to compensate for the lack of real meat."
Yelper Rachel S. wrote, "The ingredients are so fresh, the flavors are so complex and it's absolutely like nothing I've ever had before."
3. AM Thai Fusion Cuisine
West Anaheim's AM Thai Fusion Cuisine, located at 2941 W. Ball Road, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the cheap Thai and Asian fusion spot 4.5 stars out of 403 reviews. The restaurant serves up pad see ew, panang curry, barbecue pork ribs and orange chicken.
Yelper Jun P. wrote, "... Lots of clean-cut Thai flavors. Had Tom yam goong, which was very good [and] had just the right amount of sour and spiciness. Papaya salad is quite big and, again, very fresh with lots of savory flavors."
4. Urban Banh Mi & Bowls
Urban Banh Mi & Bowls, a Vietnamese and Asian fusion spot that offers bubble tea and more in the Colony, is another much-loved, inexpensive go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 99 Yelp reviews. Head over to 874 W. Lincoln Ave. to see for yourself. The menu features pho, banh mi sandwiches, rice bowls and bubble tea.
"At Urban Banh Mi & Bowls cafe, we focus on providing our customers with quality food at great prices," according to the business' Yelp profile. "We don't use MSG in preparation of our pho broth. Our banh mi sandwiches and rice bowls are made fresh to order so our consumers know they're always getting the freshest quality food and not fast food."
