50 Best Thai Restaurants near Pacoima

“Best Curry Penang I’ve ever had!! Great amount of meat of your choice beef, chicken or tofu. They make it fresh and the amount is decent. The place is next to a tiny airport and railroad tracks which made the experience feel old western. I loved it. We tried the spicy noodles 🍜 curry and chicken wings. All were served hot and tasted authentic. Can’t wait to come back for more curry 🍛“

“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.“

“OMG this place is fire. Don't judge the restaurant by the exterior. It truly is a hole-in-the-wall, hidden gem. I was losing hope in LA restaurants (we're visiting from NorCal) but this was honestly the best Thai food I've ever had! We tried the Panang Curry with Tofu and the Drunken Noodles with Tofu. EXCELLENT VEGETARIAN OPTIONS!! Everything tasted homemade, authentic, and most of all, FRESH! I can't wait to return and try other dishes :)“

“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“

“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.“

“Absolutely fantastic place!
My first time and I was greeted by the sweetest cashier helping me choose what I want and what specials are available.

I chose a pad Thai with shrimp and a Thai tea to drink.

The Thai tea was rich, creamy, and not to sweet and perfect to cool down the spiciness from the hot sauce.

And that pad thai - WOW. It's one of the more unique pad thai I've had, it's a tad sweet so the hot sauce helps balance it out, and it's a very rich and noodle-focused dish. The shrimp were a tad overcooked but still tasty and juicy. I loved the juiciness of the noodles too without it being a swamp of sauce.

I will definitely need to come back!!“

“The food here is always amazing and the workers are very nice! We recommend the Hawaiian fried rice and the garlic shrimp! Also don’t worry it’s every clean and a very comforting environment :) I always recommend Siam rice to my friends and family!!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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,“

““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 💛”“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“The restaurant is very clean and the food is tasty. My favorite is fried tofu, I cannot find this menu from any restaurant. Food presentation is very simple but very tasty. I do recommend fried rice, it’s simple and difficult to cook. _/\_“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Well I had not eaten here since my late friend Omar was still around and they would always help us out them with anything extra they had and were just going to throw away anyways ...so when I recently came here for dinner , they remembered me and hooked me up proper ...the food is great and the service better than most and at a decent price too so I am giving a solid five star rating....

Vegetarian options: They have a decent vegetarian section on the menu...

Dietary restrictions: Decent selections if you are on a diet....

Parking: There is plenty of parking if not in the parking lot out front or on the street, then there is always extra parking in the back too...

Kid-friendliness: Sort of kid friendly..

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for those who are in wheelchairs...“

“Best pad thai I have ever had! Customer service is amazing considering that it's one older gentleman running the place all alone. The pad see ew was so flavorful as well. The prices are phenomenal. Please support this business before the man retires and you lose your opportunity to enjoy the delicious cuisine 😊“

“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.“

“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.😁“

“f=rr=l=))))l)lllll=)l=ll=ll=rrloee e“

“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.“

“Food was really good, great service🙂“

“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!“

“Hailing from the Northeast region of Thailand, Isan cuisine is the unapologetic, bold, and rustic soul of Thai street food. It’s less about the creamy coconut curries you find in the south and more about high-impact flavors: intense lime, fiery chilies, pungent fermented fish sauce, and plenty of crunch.
Forget the fork. In Isan culture, you use your fingers to roll the sticky rice into small balls, using them as a vessel to scoop up the juices and sauces.“

“A new food place!!! Really liked the pad se ew and ofc the mango sticky rice. The whole shop is ran by a sweet older lady and tastes just like a home cooked meal my mom would make me. Highly recommend. Parking can be a little annoying so I’m jealous of the people who live in the building because I would come here weekly if I was living upstairs.“

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

“So good. I love it!😋👌👌👌“

“Best thai food love coming here“

“Beautiful restaurant , delicious food and Very good service.“

“I can’t say enough good things about the service here. We arrived shortly before they closed, and they still seated us with a smile and didn't make us feel rushed at all. The food was delicious and fresh. Truly a 5-star experience every time we visit!“
