“Bro.. just moved to the area early this year, my partner and I decided to find a lunch spot close by. Looked at reviews and decided to give this spot a try. WHAT?! Hidden gem!! The service- server was super friendly, helpful, and super quick!, Thai tea slapped! (Must get), zap wings - I do think need a sauce so we are taking home to create our own, fried chicken (GET THIS! Moist, but crunchy and soooo yummy, papaya salad(my partner said in her 33 years on earth this is the #2 all time best papaya salad she’s ever had(#1 is her moms), mango sticky rice was perfect- will be coming back for JUST this sometimes 😂
Oh yea I got yellow chicken curry to go so I’ll report later how that is 😂

You must MUST try this place.
It’s very small only 4 tables inside, so it was perfect daytime lunch date spot. Shit my partner and I were talking about which coworkers we were bringing here next 😂

Super clean inside. Seems like a lot of afternoon parking in the lot it’s in, not sure about night.

Hope this review helped you decide to try this spot cause HOT DAMN that was fire 🔥

Our bill was a lot but we got a bunch of stuff to try lol if you only buy one or two things it’s easily cheap“

“Everything that I oder was tested good. And nice servers.“

“I have walked and driven past this place so many times. I always said to myself that I would come in and that I would take one of their cooking classes.
I was running errands as I get ready to move in January so I treated myself to dinner. Walking into this place the first thing you notice is that it’s cozy. The decorations are simple and the menu is scattered on the window above where you place your order.
The lady behind the counter was super friendly and helped me choose my drink which ironically is one of my favorites. Thai Iced T and she helped me decide on my second dish.
The tea was perfect!
My first dish was Moo Palo ( Braised Pork Belly with steamed Bach Choy and jasmine rice. ) The Pork Belly was perfectly cooked, tender and extremely flavorful. The rice was fluffy and the wasabi sauce was an amazing complement to the entire dish.
The second dish that hit my table was Kee Mow ( Flat rice noodles stir fried in our signature drunken sauce , white onion and bell peppers.) The overall flavor and chew of these noodles was absolutely mind blowing. I topped this dish with their hot sauce, then devoured it.
Now I will tell you one thing, do not and I repeat do not come here if you are in any way impatient or unaware that great food takes time. This place is a must visit and I mean that“

“Everything was Awesome! Great food and Atmosphere!“

“Well priced, authentic Thai food! Lams looks like a small hole in the wall, but the food is extraordinarily delicious. I ordered 9 meals for a group of friends and on pick up it was ready on time, packaged beautifully and still very warm. Every meal was perfectly cooked and so tasty. Just an incredible, friendly, quality Thai restaurant. I've been ordering from Lams since before Covid and it never seizes to impress. Do yourself a favor.“

“BEST Vegan Thai .... I order at least one a week - I have been going there for 20 years!! Cannot say enough good things - the food is always fresh, and consistent ... my favorite is the spicy orange tofu, hot wings and citrus soy pork .... well really almost all 💕“

It's my first time here in this simple looking hidden gem and I had a great experience. They barely opened when I came so the store was clean. Their menu had so many variations of Thai food and most of them looked delicious.

I ordered the Thai coffee, shrimp and pork spring rolls, steamed pot stickers and the seafood combination fried rice with added chicken.
The Thai iced cofee were very good, although I am not really a coffee person, I liked it.
Their pork and shrimp eggrolls were not bad and the steamed pot stickers were awesome.

The fried rice came with shrimp, squid, and 4 pieces if fried fish plus I asked them to add some chicken on it. It was fantastic!
I could finish it all because the portion was generous and i only cost $40 something dollar for everything.“

“Kim Thai Food is an excellent spot for authentic Thai cuisine. The flavors are rich and bold, with dishes like pad thai and green curry cooked perfectly every time. The portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere that makes dining here enjoyable whether it’s takeout or dine-in. Definitely a go-to for delicious Thai food.“

“My husband and I just had pineapple fried rice, pad thai, red curry salmon, and papaya salad. EVERYTHING was top notch and better than any other Thai restaurant we have ever been to, including Original Thai BBQ, which was our go to restaurant for almost 50 years!! Truly, a hidden gem!!“

“I am not vegan myself but the food here is really good. I always get the chicken Pho and the broth is savory and great. Tried mango sticky rice for the first time for desert and fell in love. It was really good. Definitely recommend to check this place out.“

“Night Market Weho was a culinary highlight of our trip! The Pad Thai was the best food we had during our visit to West Hollywood - truly delicious. The interior, however, could use some attention. While the market-style concept is clear, the execution feels a bit off, particularly with numerous crooked pictures on the walls. Service was interesting – ordering was very quick, but we weren't checked on frequently after that. Overall, come for the fantastic food, but don't expect a flawless ambiance“

“The food here is exquisite! I had pineapple shrimp curry, which came with a small salad drenched in a peanut sauce that's killer. Even though I was full when I finished, I was still craving more.“

““We have been coming to Thai Victory with our whole family — my husband and our children — for the past two years 😊 We absolutely love this place, especially the Tom Yum and Pad Thai 🍜🔥 We have been living in America for three years and have tried Thai food in many places, but this is the only place we truly enjoyed.
We would also like to highlight the service: very kind and pleasant people ❤️ We met a young family who work there and are the owners of the restaurant. They always treat us with warmth and care, and we are very happy to have met such wonderful people 🙏 We sincerely recommend this place from the bottom of our hearts 💛”“

“Food,service, and atmosphere was perfect!! Highly recommend this place 💜💜💜“

“We had such a great experience at Siam Cafe Thai Food! The food was absolutely delicious — super flavorful and fresh. The service was amazing too; everyone was very kind and attentive. They even surprised us with a complimentary dessert, which was such a sweet touch! Highly recommend this place if you love authentic Thai food and great hospitality.“

“My husband and I were so happy to find this local Thai treasure. I'm always searching for pad Thai with the really thin noodles and this is one of the few. It's now replaced our previous choice for regular takeout (and we used to live in Hollywood next to the Thai town). We had the hidden treasure, beef satay and loved those too.
Love the service here too, though that rarely influences my restaurant ratings.“

“Best Thai food in the West Valley in my Opinion“

“Authentic Thai gem on Oxnard Blvd! From the warm Sawadika welcome to the last bite, everything was perfect.
Creamy Tom Ka Kai soup, flavorful Spicy Basil Chicken, crunchy Cashew Chicken, and heavenly Mango Sticky Rice.
Family-owned, friendly hosts, fresh ingredients, and true Thai taste. Highly recommended!“

“Amazing food and service!! Omg this place is definitely one to visit and make part of your regular dining spots. Loved the Panang Curry with beef and the seafood pot of Tom Yum. The dimensions of flavor were honestly on another level. The service was also excellent …super super nice and helpful.“

“Very delicious. Recommend to go here! ;)“

“The vibe is awesome, cozy, chill, and full of good energy. The staff are friendly, and the food was amazing!
Only thing — the service was a bit on island time but honestly, it’s hard to complain when everything tastes this good. We’ll definitely be back… hopefully by then they’ve leveled up to “fast & fabulous“

“Great Thai food that is consistent, tasty and reasonably priced from a wonderful family run business. The Siam dim sum is delicious, as is the chicken teriyaki, chow main, soups, and most other dishes. We do not eat fish so I cannot make a comment regarding the fish.“

“Good food for a very reasonable price and staffs were nice, too 🥰“

“First time at this restaurant, recommended by a good friend, food was delicious, will definitely come back.“

“First time excellent fresh food ..Live the appetizers“

“Really love this place, been eating here for 5 years. Can say it is my favorite Thai restaurant in LA. Very authentic and delicious. The owner is a very nice guy, always provides the best food and beautiful prices. Hope more people know about this and visit. Also, the duck fried rice here is ssso amazing!“

“Absolutely loved this place. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into every dish. The Thai flavors were authentic and comforting, and the portions were generous.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere made it a great spot to sit back and enjoy a meal. Everything came out hot and beautifully presented. This is definitely a place I’ll be coming back to and recommending to anyone craving great Thai food.“

“This was our first time dining here, and we were genuinely impressed. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Everyone was very attentive throughout our visit and checked in multiple times to make sure we were enjoying our meal.

The food was outstanding — full of flavor, well-cooked, and served in generous portions. We ordered Pad See Ew, Khua Kai, Wonton Soup, Crispy Pork with Chinese Broccoli, and the Yellow Curry. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. It easily fed our family of four, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home.

If you’re craving truly authentic Thai food, this spot is definitely worth a visit. There was plenty of street parking available, and they also have additional parking behind the restaurant, which is super convenient.

We’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes. Highly recommend!“

“Best thai food love coming here“

“The best pad Thai I’ve ever had. I drive 30 miles just to have it“

“OMG! Soooooo flavorful and yummy! Crispy rice salad, larb, big ol portion of pad thai, tom yum soup, all really really good! This hidden gem is easily one of the BEST Thai restaurants in Los Angeles. Friendly service and perfectly cooked sticky rice puts this place over the top!“

“This Thai restaurant in the San Fernando Valley is the best one I've ever dined at (well, I usually get it to go). I order their food about 2 times a month, since I work nearby. The meals are always correct, and they are quick to prepare it. The staff is very pleasant, a nice change from the hustle and bustle of being in a big city. The food IS DELICIOUS!!! I usually order a lunch meal (very affordable) or the Panang Salmon. So good! If you like Thai food and have not tried Thai Tasty on Roscoe Blvd (I think it's across from where the old Van Nuys Drive-In used to be), I suggest you give them a try. Take out or dine-in. They have a really cute and clean small restaurant.
For the money, flavor and good service, you can't beat this authentic Thai restaurant!!!“

“Food was really good, great service🙂“

“A great new find close to home“

“I have been coming here for a few years now love this place food is always fresh“

“It is very small restaurant, the interior design is not very good, food takes minimum 20 minutes, so call ahead and pick it up would be better. The portion is just a little smaller than expected, but the flavors are same as authentic thai food.“

“Street-Style Thai Flavors & Generous Portions

Bua Siam Thai is a total gem in Panorama — every bite feels like you’re standing at a busy food stall somewhere in Thailand. The flavors are bold, vibrant, and incredibly satisfying.

I had the Pad See Ew and Tom Yum soup, and I highly recommend trying them together. The savory richness of the noodles combined with the spicy-sour heat of the soup creates an unforgettable mix of exotic flavors.

Portions are super generous, the menu is filled with authentic Thai options, and everything is made fresh and served hot. If you’re looking for a meal that hits the spot and takes your taste buds on a trip, Bua Siam absolutely delivers.“
