The food here is top notch. No issues with the food. 4/5 The service however is absolutely horrible. This restaurant closes at 10 pm. We called in at 9.15 pm informing them that we are on our way there and asked if we could dine in. The person who answered the call told us that we could come in as long as we place our order before 9.30 as the kitchen would close. He was courteous and we obliged. We informed him what we would like. We reached the restaurant at 9.31 pm. We were rudely seated by waitress who totally lost her mind when we merely walked past the table she was pointing at. While I was away at the restroom, she had the audacity to inform my wife "This time I am giving you the food. Next time come in before 9.30 if you want to dine in" despite us having called in. My wife who was shocked walked to the other waitress and informed her to pack our dinner to go. I think thats when the first waitress realized she screwed up and asked the others working there to do damage control. But it was too late. The other patrons who were seated next to us was applauded by the treatment and started munching down their food faster. If the owner of this establishment is reading this- how on earth can you employ such an obnoxious person ? This is just such a poor experience that it offsets the wonderful food you serve. Please fix this attitude. If she did not want us to dine in she couldve politely informed us to take out or dinner. There was no need to speak to us the way she did. Im utterly disappointed by the service. Its a real pity considering how good the food is.

We came here for dinner on a quite Sunday evening. The menu is definitely very accommodating for a vegetarian or vegan palate. I was pretty surprised to see mock chicken on the menu since most Thai places Ive been to have really just subbed meat with veggies or tofu. We ordered a glass of wine and beer. Drink prices were around $7-$12 per glass of wine, while beer was around $5 per bottle. Food wise, we ordered the summer rolls, pad thai with mock chicken + extra egg and peanuts, and the cashew nut with tofu. My favorite dish had to be the pad thai with the mock chicken. The flavors were rich and burst with flavor and crunch. The cashew nut was good, but I wasnt in love with the dish. The summer rolls were definitely fresh and filling. They come in a larger size with 4 rolls per order. Overall great food, friendly service and cozy ambiance. Would definitely come back in the future when Im craving thai food again!

The only thing good is the ambience. My raspberry tea came luke warm with a few chunks of ice floating on top. Tom yum soup was way too sweet..we wanted to pour a whole cup of water in it and it wasnt even hot, eventhough we ordered it in a hot pot. My friend was in the mood for beef so he got the tiger tear rib eye ..terrible ..too salty and cooked till the meat is as hard as leather with uncooked fat hanging to the edges. We didnt want that way! And "how can you mess up garlic fried rice? " It was wet grayish rice with none of the fragrant golden garlic chunks that should have been there ...? Gross! No way we will come back. The waitress was nice ..but the food was terrible ...and yes...we eat thai food at least twice a month so we know what real thai food should taste like. We came home and have home made juicy burgers since we couldnt stomach the food at Rocharin...never again.

I was meeting two co-workers for lunch at 11:00 am (when they open). I was there at 11:00 am sharp and took a peek inside, the staff greeted me and I told them I was waiting for two more, they invited me to sit inside and wait and immediately there were three waters on the table and friendly smiles from the staff. I sincerely felt welcomed, in fact, they kind of made me feel like they had been waiting for me and were happy I was there... It just got better from that point on... the food was excellent, the presentation marvelous and the staff above and beyond. I highly recommend Rocharin Thai Bistro, if you like Thai food you will love this place, if you like being treated like royalty; well, welcome home.

Awful waitress. I asked her about a ginger dish and if they had one on their dinner menu. My family was with me too. I go there for lunch eith co eorkers .......and she replied in a condosending manner, "what do u mean? I dont understand". I repeated... i said ill look for it....later, i said i found what i was looking for and what was it that she did not understand?.... she was still condesending and when walked away, my daughter said she rolled her eyes. I felt very unwelcomed!! Wont go back there although food is very good.

Needs a better service staff. Hostess was beyond rude. Will not recommend this place anymore after our last visit. The food is good but definitely not worth the bad service experience! You can keep your bad attitude I will be taking my business to a MORE FRIENDLY place.

Great food, and great atmosphere. Weve had dine-in and takeaway and the food has been consistently good. So far this is the best Thai food weve had in or near Long Beach. The owner is very attentive and is always happy to help with recommendations.

The food had my taste buds screaming for more. Glass noodle salad and a deep fried ice cream desert. My compliments to the chef. The owner is a nice guy. I recommend this place to anyone that wants great food at a great price

Best Thai food in Long Beach by a mile. Staff will always make things right regardless of how small something is, and the food is just totally top notch. Such a great place with friendly folks. Highly recommended.

I have never dined in here. Food is delicious and especially the Pad Thai, Yellow and Massamum curries. The curries are creamy with cocoanut milk - delicious. The Sate - especially beef is tender and tasty.

Yummy Steak Salad... Medium was very hot/spicy for my tastes, but mild was just right when I ate the same menu item a 2nd time a week later... Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food...

This is our fav Thai spot in the area. If you get here before six on a weekend, you usually dont have to wait. Awesome food selections for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free.

Being half Thai and living in Seal Beach, this is the most authentic Thai restaurant in the area. Low key atmosphere, but we usually order to go anyway.
