Sanamluang Cuisine - Claremont, California

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.

We visited on a Saturday evening and experienced a 30-minute wait, which wasn’t too bad considering how many people were waiting in the lobby. The menu is pretty extensive, featuring a variety of classic Thai dishes. We ordered the Boat Noodles, Pad Thai, Red Curry with rice, Tom Yum, and Combination Fried Rice. The food was flavorful, and I appreciated the three different types of chili available at the table for customizing spice levels.

The service was decent, though nothing exceptional. A heads-up about parking: avoid the adjacent lot near the dentist’s office, as there’s a security guard on-site enforcing towing rules (even during dentist's off-hours).

Overall, it’s a solid spot for Thai food with a great selection of dishes.

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!

It's really the best restaurant where everything is perfect. Price, restaurant atmosphere, food taste, service, etc. But There's no place to park on weekends. Waiting for about 15 minutes is the norm. I think it's the best Thai food restaurant in the area within a 10 miles. This is final boss. One thing to be careful of is that you shouldn't park right next to the shopping mall. Fortunately, there's a man who manages the parking, so I was able to avoid towing. The recommended menu is garlic pork spare rib. It's pork, but it feels similar to korean chicken, and it's really delicious.

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!

This restaurant has a unique menu with Thai dishes you don’t see in most Thai restaurants. They offer vegan/vegetarian options. For the price you pay the dish is huge. I would not eat their pad thai because it is very sweet and made with ketchup. Other dishes were well done.
Service is fast and top notch. It can be quickly crowded during weekends but the wait is reasonable. Be careful with the parking.

It’s clean, prices are fair and service is average. Any dish with chicken will be a disappointment as their chicken is very dry. The spice and flavor is missing. The bbq fried rice again pork lacking flavor and too much oil on rice. In a pinch it’s ok but there are other places that service more authentic food.

This was one of the worst Thai restaurants, fast food restaurant whatever you wanna call it that I’ve ever visited. The food has lacking quality taste flavor. What makes it worse is they made us wait over an hour from the time we ordered and by the time we got our food this was absolutely one of the worst dining experiences.
