50 Best Thai Restaurants near Pacoima

“The sweet lady at the counter told me everything on the menu was good after I asked. And once I ate my food I understood completely. I ordered some wonton soup. It’s the best I’ve had in LA 😋 but i definitely believe everything else on the menu is equally as fire. It was so yummy“

“Not many Thai food in this area first try love it“

“I saw this place on instagram as being the oldest restaurant in SF. We dined in on the 4th of July at noon. Small parking area and street parking. No wait and plenty of seating.
The woman worked there was very helpful. We got half a fried chicken which takes 20-25 minutes and chicken Pad Thai. We then sat and waited. It is near a small airport and train tracks. This makes for interesting viweing if you like watching. A few minutes before the food came We were given 2 paper plates, 3 napkins each and plastic forks. She also gave us Sriracha and a bowl of Thai chili flakes. I did not try this, but it smelled delightfully smokey and spicy. The pad Thai arrived in a take out container and it was saucy and delicious. The chicken, also in a take out container, was a dipped batter style fried chicken,and looked glorious. The pieces are large and were too hot to eat immediately so we ate the thin style fries it comes with.
Chicken batter tasted great. Super crispy and although oily there was no oily aftertaste.
I am interested to try more menu items.“

“Great food, always something new and delicious!!“

“Clean area food are delicious. Specially I love the mango sticky rice“

“Pad thai and chicken fried rice with beef were perfectly cooked, delicious, and will make you want to eat more! Chicken Satay was delicious and tender. The service was friendly and warm. This place is very clean, calm, and spacious! I would definitely come back if I am in the area next time!“

“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 :)“

“They serve Northern Thai food (Nam Prik Ong and Sai Ua). They also have Larb Northern style. It’s not on the menu, however, you could request it.“

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

“Great food and The people there are so nice!!! Love to support places like this!“

“Everything was Awesome! Great food and Atmosphere!“

“Nice and cozy place with delicious Thai foods.“

“Food is delicious and amazing. Service is fantastic. The lady who took our order was so kind and nice. The restaurant always appears empty but I noticed that there are a lot of customers that came to pick up their orders, probably because the parking lot is very limited. Otherwise, the restaurant is fantastic.“

“The food was very fresh and tasty. I appreciated they let you choose how spicy you wanted it for the curry.

The prices are very reasonable and the service was friendly. All the seating is outside so you get to enjoy the weather.“

“Really good Lao food. First time at this Lao restaurant. My new favorite place 😍“

“Test its by yourself.clean foods and good service“

“I was visiting the area and craving some Thai food, figured I stop by and try it out. It was a Saturday afternoon around 1:30pm. Plenty of parking available. Not crowded and I was greeted and seated right away. First impression was it was clean, comfy and quiet. The lady who seated me was also my server. She was very nice and attentive. I ordered the chicken pad Thai. It was delicious and very authentic, reminded me of when I visited Thailand. The portion size was big enough to save some for later. Highly recommend giving this place a try. I will be back next time I’m in the area.“

“The Tom Yum Goong Pizza was absolutely delicious! The flavors were bold, fresh, and very well balanced. You can really taste the classic tom yum flavors in every bite.

The shrimp was tasty, and I loved the combination of spicy, tangy, creamy, and savory flavors. It’s such a creative idea to turn Tom Yum Goong into a pizza, and it worked so well.

Definitely a unique dish worth trying, especially if you love Thai food and want something different from a regular pizza. I would happily order it again. Highly recommend.“

“💯 % recommend go now and try“

“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 got the lunch special for 14.50, and a strawberry iced tea. Amazing and just right amount of spice on the red curry and the salad dressing was lovely. Even had some curry and rice to look forward to as leftovers. The person at the register was super kind and genuine, asking if I enjoyed the meal. Great lunch deal, parking in the neighborhoods off the main street.“

“They have both inside and outside seating areas. Service is great.“

“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!!“

“I would give this place 100 ⭐’s if I could. Her food is so amazing, fresh and so authentic! The PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE is a must have. Her curry is so delicious and all her other dishes

100% worth checking out, if you love Thai food you will not be disappointed ♥♥

Hope to see you here I come up to 2-3 times per week🥰“

“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. _/\_“

“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!“

“Food was really good, great service🙂“

“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.“

“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 food was delicious and the portions are generous and large enough to share. the staff is wonderful and so attentive. she gave wonderful suggestions and is very informed on the menu items. its also great for vegans or vegetarians. highly recommend this hidden gem. the tables are spacious and spaced out with a few booths, parking lot is available and a bit small but there is always enough parking space available.“

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

“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.“

“Casual, great food. It came to 49 bucks for 2 with tip, ricce n meat, curry dish, (fried street wings recommend), egrolls, fried won tons 👍, two tie ice tea 4 pick up. The dishes are huge. Enough for 3 meals each. I don't eat heavy so this worked out.“

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

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

“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...“

“This is a decent choice for Asian food in a mini-mall that has limited choices for a true restaurant. Although it bills itself as Thai there are many dishes that you'll enjoy if you like Chinese food. The dumplings were excellent, like homemade with a tasty sauce. The dinner specials are a great deal with your choice of a side of egg rolls or bbq chicken (I got a whole leg!). Although these sides were a bit bland there is an assortment of sauces to spice them up. The oyster sauce chicken and broccoli was very tasty, and the orange chicken better than you'll get at a lot of places. I liked the Thai iced tea too, not overly sweet. The main drawback is that this a hole in the wall with limited seating and no customer bathroom. We would return to this place because it's convenient for us“

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

“One of the best Thai food in the entire state. I haven’t found a spot with a selection this good in a 50 mile radius. I had five different dishes, including their Pad Thai and fried rice. They were all extremely delicious. There’s usually parking in the back and it’s totally safe. This place is a must.“

“Incredible spot for authentic boat noodle right here in van nuys. We have boat noodle and it’s perfect richness, deep flavor broth. To wash it down, Thai iced tea is very authentic southern Thai style Thai iced tea. It’s perfectly sweet, creamy, and refreshing. It’s great to have a Thai legit noodle house in the neighborhood. Highly recommend five this place a try.“

“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.😁“

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

“Best thai food love coming here“

“Delicious noodles and soup. Super flavorful. Tastes homemade. Had ‘em on a hot day too and it went down good. Affordable, deeeelicious and nutritious 😋 The service was outstanding. The people serving you feel like aunties. They’re so kind, welcoming and helpful. I asked for a noodle recommendation and I was glad I did. Highly recommend. If im ever in this area or visiting someone at Kaiser like I did I’m hitting this place up. It’s within walking distance of the hospital. Super convenient.“

“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.“

“The best noodle restaurant in The Valley, so taste, fresh, healthy and friendly service!����“

“GREAT COSTUMER SERVICE ON TOP OF THE ABSOLUTE DELI FOOD - VERY PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT <3“
