Thai food near Fountain Valley — eight minutes west.
We'll be honest before you drive: Narwhal Thai Table is in Huntington Beach, not Fountain Valley. But we sit at Beach Boulevard and Garfield Avenue — 3.6 miles from the center of Fountain Valley, about eight minutes door to door — close enough that Fountain Valley counts as the neighborhood to us.
Getting here from Fountain Valley
Two easy ways, both about eight minutes: take Brookhurst St to Garfield Ave and head west until you reach Beach Blvd — we're on the corner, at 19072 Beach Blvd Ste A & B. Or take Slater Ave to Newland St, then south to Garfield and one block west. Either way you'll find free parking in the plaza lot right in front of the door, with free street parking nearby if the lot is busy.
Lunch from Fountain Valley — back at your desk in an hour
Monday through Friday, 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM, our lunch specials start at $11.99: Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Pad Kee Mao, Krapow, Garlic & Pepper, Cashew, Mixed Vegetables, or a Yellow or Panang curry — each with a fresh salad and a crispy spring roll, plus a cup of soup when you dine in. Call (714) 378-6003 on your way and it's ready when you pull up.
What travels well for pickup
Eight minutes is nothing for a curry. Panang and yellow curry ride home beautifully, and fried rice — Super Crab Fried Rice, pineapple fried rice, spicy basil fried rice — is built for a lidded box. Narwhal Chicken Wings stay crisp for the drive. Noodles are best eaten soonest, so if you're bringing pad thai home, make it the first thing on the table. Everything on the menu can be ordered online for pickup, and delivery runs through DoorDash where it's available at your address — see the order page.
Worth the drive for dinner
Some things don't go in a box: a whole fried pompano for the table, crying tiger off the grill with jaew for dipping, a bowl of boat noodles. Bring the dog — the patio is dog-friendly — and stay for the last course: the mango sticky rice. Save a seat for a weekend night, or just walk in.
Fountain Valley gatherings
Office lunches, birthdays, a family-style table for a crowd — we cater across Fountain Valley and the rest of the neighborhood, and we can do a private buyout of our room. Tell us about the event and one of the three of us will write back.
