Thai Dishes Wilshire

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Amazing Food & Even Better Service!
I had an excellent experience at Thai Dishes Restaurant! Not only was the service warm, friendly, and attentive, but the food was absolutely perfect — especially the Tom Yum Thai spicy & sour soup.
I ordered it because I had a sore throat, and wow… it was exactly what I needed. The soup was flavorful, comforting, and had that perfect balance of spice and tang. It opened me right up and made me feel so much better. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and put a lot of care into every dish.
The staff checked on me multiple times, made sure everything was just right, and created such a welcoming atmosphere. It’s rare to find a place that nails both customer service and food this well.
I’ll definitely be coming back — highly recommended! 🙌🔥🍜

The BEST Thai Food in Santa Monica!!

Serving Authentic Thai Dishes for over 35 years! It’s the perfect spot for lunch or dinner!! Check out their lunch specials Monday - Friday 11 - 3pm.

Bold, vibrant and balanced flavors—a harmonious mix of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy, with a hint of bitterness and creamy notes. Intensely aromatic with a spicy kick. They all work together to make each dish come alive.

Some of our favorite dishes of the night were the TOM KHA THAI SPICY COCONUT SOUP, SQUID SALAD, PANANG ROASTED CURRY, PAD SEE EW and CHOCOLATE TEMPTATION CAKE!!

This is a fabulous restaurant. The meals are amazing and huge. Be careful not to order too much food. The staff are also super helpful and very sweet.

We have been going here for many years and always enjoy the excellent food, service, and atmosphere. One of my favorites is the chicken satay. Large skewers of chicken grilled to perfection and served with peanut sauce or spicy cucumbers.

The best Pad Thai I’ve had in the States. The price and portion are generous. It tastes really good. I also ordered the Pork massaman Curry — it was delicious and the portions here are all big. Everything was great, friendly service, and most importantly, the prices aren’t overpriced and the portions are large. I’ll definitely come back if I pass through this area again.

Thai Dishes Wilshire – Santa Monica
🌟 Serving Santa Monica since 1981
This local gem has been dishing out Thai comfort classics for over four decades and it shows. The Chicken Satay is smoky and tender, with a peanut sauce that deserves its own spotlight. Chicken Kapow packs a fiery punch with basil and chili, while the Chicken Curry is rich, aromatic, and soul-warming. Don’t skip dessert: the lemon tart is zesty and refreshing, and the chocolate cake adds a decadent finish.

🍽️ Vibe: No-frills, fast service, and flavors that speak louder than decor.
🐾 Felix the Cat’s Pick: Chicken Kapow—bold, spicy, and totally addictive.

Terrible service. I ordered a to-go and left. When I went back in to pick up the waiter believed to be Golf didn’t even bring the food to me. The food was left on the table somewhere toward the shop front. I had to read the receipt and found it was mine. Given that the they got a bell hanging at the door handle and there was no customer as it was a quiet lunch time this was intentional that they didn’t care about the service anymore.
Ps. Red curry was inedible chicken was old I didn’t even finish it.

Came from the vet across thr street and got some takeout. It was around 6 pm, and they weren't busy yet.
The food was awful. Had no flavor, the rice was so bland. The Pad Tai. Usually a Thai staple didn't have that peanut flavor and very dull color. Worst yet, The ribs were dry and stuck to the bone. Almost burnt!! The egg roll looked and tasted like an off the shelf store item. Too bad, the receptionist was nice and the place decent.

Food was too expensive and the worst I've ever had. I don't know if it was an off night but I will not be going back. $20 fried rice that had no flavor, I mean everything was phoned in, and stay away from the cashew chicken. Gross

I have never written a review or felt compelled to write a review before but I am beyond infuriated. The amount of sugar they used in my order is dangerous. I am insulin resistant. I ordered the green papaya salad, the chicken Panang and streamed broccoli. I did not order or eat any rice or carbs. Within minutes of eating the grew papaya salad my blood sugars spiked to over 200. This has never happened with any other Thai food restaurant I have eaten at, EVER!!! I will never order from them again and I urge them to use healthier ingredients to prevent more harm!
