Chaba Thai

Love the shrimp pad Thai. It's become an obsession! Nice service too.

Absolutely loved it.

I was a huge fan of their "pumpkin custard" dessert until one rainy night last August when I was rooting around in their dumpster in the back alleyway looking for some leftovers of that fake duck they serve (scientists in Thailand have been "growing" mock-duck under semi-sterile conditions since after the Second World War and it's friggin' delicious) and I happened to glance inside their kitchen through the open back door. It was the grunting and shouting and loud squishing noises that led me to investigate further. It was at that moment, as I crouched beside some overflowing garbage cans in the hot August rain that I learned the awful truth. Two members of the kitchen staff, a terrified busboy, and the gal who runs the cash register were physically restraining a fifth individual--morbidly obese, profound skin discoloration from what must have been hazardous levels of beta-carotene overdosing, screaming and desperately trying to wriggle free as the staff kneaded, squeezed, and forced "it" out of the person's body. There were buckets and buckets filled with the stuff lining the wall near the walk-in refrigerator. It was then, in that terrible moment of realization, that I thrust my trash-smeared hand up into the dark and rainy sky and shouted "Pumpkin custard is a person and that person is pumpkin custard!" The two star rating is because I admire their ingenuity.

I highly recommend this restaurant for those who are looking for a cozy atmosphere with amazing food. It has become my favorite restaurant to stop by ever since I tried their delicious food. It is very close to the beach and there is always parking space available near by. The waitress is very sweet, excellent customer service!

This is a sad excuse for the Thai restaurant. No kindness, no services and staff being so rude.

Awesome food. This place has always been good to my family and me for the last 15 years. Plenty of municipal parking... not so much during the summer. The indoor seating is very limited. Bathroom is available and clean for customers. Good size portions, enough to share. Will be back.

This place is a hidden gem in the heart of Long Beach, definitely a must have. The service is outstanding & the atmosphere is very welcoming. Thank you for your service.
