It’s a very attractive restaurant and it’s super well maintained. My only negative is I wanted a lunch special and it didn’t have any.

Judging by the dish I had this is one of the better Thai restaurants.“

“Some of the best Thai food we’ve had in America. The whole fried fish was definitely the highlight of the meal. The crunchy rice salad was really unique and flavorful. Only complaint is that the restaurant is really loud, and we got rushed out of our table“

“💯 % recommend go now and try“

“A must-stop whenever I'm in the Valley. LaVo specializes in Thai fusion pizzas. The Thai Curry Chicken and Pad Kapao Gai (Spicy Basil Chicken) are standouts, and the Tom Yum Pizza is worth trying too. Spice is adjustable, which is great for groups with varying tastes. They also have a full Thai menu with a solid range of noodle dishes if pizza isn't your thing. Consistently excellent.“

“Ordered catering for a 20+ person party and the experience was so seamless ordering and they were so happy to answer any questions I had for the phone. My friends with high food standards LOVED the food and kept asking where I got it from!! Thank you guys for making my special day so much more special!“

“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“

“I visited this place on 04/07/2026, and saying that I liked it would be an understatement.

The service was 100 out of 10. The waiter knew the menu very well and was able to make great recommendations. I ordered the coconut milk soup with seafood, and it was absolutely delicious. There was a lot of seafood in it, and the portion was very generous.

We also ordered chicken and drinks. Honestly, the amount of food they brought us could easily feed three people. For $49 total, it was definitely worth it.

I also want to mention the honesty and kindness of the staff. I accidentally left my AirPods at the table, and the waitress found my car in the parking lot and personally returned them to me. That really impressed me and says a lot about the level of service and care they provide.

The atmosphere was calm, pleasant, and very welcoming. I definitely recommend this place and would be happy to come back again.“

“Great local find. I ordered from the vegan menu, which was quite extensive. The tom yum soup and drunken noodles with tofu were well spiced with decent portion sizes.
The decor is a bit of an eclectic collection, which I found charming.
The service was great considering there is one older lady in front and (unseen) one person in the kitchen. They even gave a free little vegan ice cream with my check.

Support your community and shop small!“

“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.“

“Fresh and delicious. Best sushi in town.“

“Awesome place to experience Thai food. Lots of medu choices, the owner is super nice and made sure we had a private dinning area for our big group. We had a dedicated server and never felt like we were needing to constantly find her. Order was accurate, food was temperature hot as it did not sit there waiting to be picked up. Standard drink choices with the traditional Thai tea. Quiet place, good crowd, and its located in a nice part of town. Parking can be challenging, but we came when other stores were closed anyways.“

“Fantastic food, fair prices, friendly service. Thank you, Sam and the staff, we enjoyed the food and the company. The place feels warm. The food we took to our fellows in the office got many compliments. Thank you,“

“Best Thai food in town by far!!!
I’ve eaten there twice and have tried their green curry, Penang curry, pad Thai, and papaya salad and all are 10/10.
And their Thai tea is a MUST!!!
Two thumbs up 👍
Looking forward to going back and trying everything on their menu.“

“Loved it! Filet Mignon Satay was incredible, and I liked the Heavenly BBQ Chicken too! Bummed they ran out of the Thai tea-ramisu, but the Mango & Sweet Sticky Rice more than made up for it. The host and runner were super nice too, overall great experience!“

“High quality and authentic Thai food made with lots of love by one lady behind the scenes! Definitely a Hidden gem in the valley and we highly recommend!! We've been there twice now within the month so far and will definitely go again. Food is fresh and made to order, and even as leftovers the next day it tastes delicious!“

“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.“

“Just by chance I was talking about Vic's to a friend and I decided to look him up and I see the sign got changed from Poochy's hotdogs. That should tell you how long ago I was there and still talk about it 45 years later. Now that I know you're still open Vic, I'll be making a trip down south to visit. I was an instant fan since the summer of 81... keep slingin it!“

“This place is a hidden gem imo, Service is always fast and nice, the food is always fresh, and compared to other spots the price is reasonable for the portions. I’ve been ordering togo for a while now and my mom loves the garlic green beans w/ seafood so I can confidently say that I would recommend to anyone in the area craving thai.“

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

“11/26/2025

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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Food was amazing! We got papaya salad, Tom Yum seafood, Pad Kee mao, green curry, and mango sticky rice and they were all good. Be careful asking for the spicier levels because they make it actually spicy. It's ~10 min walk away from Beverly Center“

“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!“

“Highly recommend! Delicious food, first and foremost, that is CONSISTENTLY good. Plus, it's a reasonable wait for it. We place an order, take our time getting ready, then walk over. All told, 20-30 min on average, and typically enough to share or have leftovers for later.“

“Absolutely AMAZING 🤩 🤩🤩 Just WOW 🙌🙌🙌 Must Try 💯💯💯 Will be back 😋😋😋 5 STARS all the way ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Staff members are also so friendly and welcoming. The food is so delicious and made fresh as you order. Great job to the cooks. The Tai tea is delicious. The servers are always so friendly and we always see the older gentleman who might be the owner and is always so friendly. Great job everyone.“

“The best Thai food in LA!“

“Ordered Uber eats because I love the rustic spoon! I was a little disappointed with the amount of chicken in the dish that was delivered. Seem more like noodles and noodles with a sprinkling of carrots, cabbage and egg. The flavor was delicious! Maybe it was just the day. But I’m still looking for the cluck.😁“

“Best thai food love coming here“

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

“First time trying this place.
We got a couple of lunch specials, one Pad Thai and another Pad See Ew. We also tried the Pork Jerky.

Everything was good. Nothing outstanding but all was what I was looking for. I'd say the Pad See Ew was the most flavorful. My wife liked the Pork Jerky.

It was a comfortable environment and the staff were nice.“

“Absolutely loved this place! We had the spring rolls and Drunken Mushroom—both were delicious and full of flavor. They were able to make the noodles without onion and garlic, which we really appreciated. A great spot for flavorful vegetarian Thai food!“
