I order Masum Curry with Chicken.\u00a0 It was a much milder version of curry compared to the normal Red Curry that I would usually order.\u00a0 As explained in their menu Masum Curry is a mild curry served with potatoes, onions, and peanuts.\u00a0 It didn&#8217;t disappoint.\u00a0 Although it was mild, it had a lingering spiciness in the background that made me crave more.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not sure how most people eat their curry, but I usually scoop it out over my rice and<a class=\"thickbox\" href=\"http:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinoc\/files\/2008\/06\/105_0041.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"305\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/oc-food-reviews\/bangkok-taste-santa-ana\/attachment\/105_0041\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/files\/2008\/06\/105_0041.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.9&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Picasa 2.7&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;KODAK EASYSHARE M893 IS DIGITAL CAMERA&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1213445000&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.7&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"105_0041\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Bangkok Taste Masum Curry Chicken&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Masum Curry Chicken&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/files\/2008\/06\/105_0041.jpg\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-305\" style=\"margin: 3px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eatinoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/105_0041-160x120.jpg\" alt=\"Masum Curry Chicken\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a> eat it sort of like gravy over my rice.\u00a0 The problem I ran into is that they give you a full size bowl of curry, which is more than the rice could handle alone.\u00a0 My rice soon was gone and I was left with nearly a half a bowl of curry, so I just started to eat it like a soup; a nice spicy soup, in fact if reminded me a little of my Cajun soup from Madam Jo Jo&#8217;s in Long Beach.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t wait to try other dishes.\u00a0 Now that I finally made it over to Bangkok Taste after only living 1 minute away for the past two years, I might add it to my normal rotation of meals that I have on Saturdays while Mrs. DanGarion is off at work.<\/p>\n<p>Service was great; I was the only customer so it wasn&#8217;t difficult for the waiter to take care of me.\u00a0 Restaurant is very clean and nicely lit.\u00a0 They have about 9 tables that seat 4 each.\u00a0 And from what I&#8217;ve read from other reviewers they do a lot of take out service as well.<\/p>\n<p>Visit 06\/14\/2008 for Lunch<\/p>\n<p>[xrr rating=4\/5]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bangkok Taste Restaurant<\/strong><br \/>\n2737 N Grand Ave<br \/>\nSanta Ana, CA 92705<br \/>\n(714) 532-2216<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/20\/240549\/restaurant\/OC\/Bangkok-Taste-Santa-Ana\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Bangkok Taste on Urbanspoon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/link\/240549\/biglink.gif\" style=\"border:none;width:200px;height:146px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, so in my lifetime I can count the number of Thai restaurants I&#8217;ve gone to on only 2 hands.\u00a0 Up until about 6 years ago I had never experienced Thai Food.\u00a0 So far in that time I&#8217;ve become a big fan of Cha Thai on Chapman in Orange, but after my first visit to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[124,140],"class_list":{"0":"post-303","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-oc-food-reviews","7":"tag-santa-ana","8":"tag-thai","9":"czr-hentry"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pgNGWN-4T","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
