“Excellent food and fantastic service😊“

“My whole family loved the food and we had great service!“

“Good food(easy pickup to go), nice service & a parking lot behind...Thanks. Plan to visit again soon/often“

“Poom is just straight up the goat. This restaurant is so fire. The curry is great, the noodles are amazing, the rice is incredible. The environment is beautiful there are fish tanks, plants, and beautiful art on the walls. Poom poom poom Poom poom“

“Very affordable and generous portions. I really enjoyed the dumplings and the Pad Thai. The rice felt a bit plain, and they don’t serve much tofu—it’s actually very little. I’d say one dish is enough for two people. Updated from previous review on 2025-08-12“

“I’ve dined here with family and friends for decades. Good food, good hospitality, reasonable prices, and a pleasant room. Never a disappointment. Friendly too.“

“All the food is taste very delicious, you must try them all.“

“3.5 on taste alone but bumped up to 4 because I appreciate the convenience and decent priced availability T's Thai offers.

As alluded to above, I didn't think the food was rave worthy (not to say that it was bad though). I ordered my usuals - pad Thai, pad see ew, and (red) curry. All tasted pretty good and better to have in the area than not in my opinion. I only did delivery, so cannot speak for the service or the ambiance.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really good and priceable food!“

“Farmhouse kitchen is the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever had. On top of the food being great and delicious, the presentation makes you want to order everything from the menu. Chef Bo was so nice to come out to our table and all I can say is she was a very nice, young & talented person. She even made me a special dessert for my birthday. Thanks Bo❤️ I highly recommend this place if you want an authentic, excellent and delicious food. In addition, the place is so full of life. The decor is amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the fancy drinks and dishes on the menu.“

“Hi-nan rice is the reason I stop by there almost every chance I have on my way home. The staff are friendly and can wa irk their magic in the grill.“

“Yes, this shop has very good service 🥰“

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

“We stopped for dinner and glad we did. The service was great only had a couple people at tables. We ordered massamun curry, yellow curry, green curry, pad see-ew, spring rolls, fried wontons, and tom-kha. It was all wonderful and seasoned perfectly. Would definitely come back again. When you spend $100 or more you get a free item (shirt, fanny pack, wallet).“

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

“We landed in LA and were starving! Searched for Thai food nearby and came across this gem. Amazing selection of dishes, very authentic, and friendly service! Portions were generous and we enjoyed all of the dishes we ordered! My kids loved the pad see ew noodles. 10/10 would recommend 👌🏽“

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

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

“Hadn't been here in years since we no longer pass this way. That's gonna change. Visited for dinner last night these guys deserve your business. They did a great job redecorating. The service is great. The food is awesome. Portions are generous. But most of all, the prices are extremely reasonable. In this age of skyrocketing costs, they've managed to keep themselves in my price range. Honestly just about everyone else has not. Reward these guys for their efforts. Get out there now!“

“Loved everything we tried at Nawa Thai! We got the Tom Kha Gai, drunken noodles, and red curry – all packed with flavor. The Tom Kha was honestly the best I’ve had in the US. Cozy ambience too, perfect for a relaxed meal. Plus, it’s just a short walk to Manhattan Beach afterward. Super convenient with a parking garage right across the street.“

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food“

“This is a local restaurant.They have been opened more than 12 years.This restaurant is tuck in a corner of the small strip mall. Give them a try.“

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

“This restaurant is great. The food is delicious, the menu has something for everyone, the service is excellent and the atmosphere is lovely. I will definitely be a return customer.

Parking: Very tiny parking lot with most spaces with 10 minutes limits for pickup for other businesses so we parked in neighborhood.“

“—Pacific Rim Thai Kitchen—
#Pacific Rim Thai Kitchen

I was traveling by car in Los Angeles. I remember that day after I left Santa Monica Beach, I headed to Manhattan Beach after noon. I found Pacific Rim Thai Kitchen near my hotel because I had already eaten In-N in the morning. -Out of the burger, I want to eat it with white rice! Because Thai food has fried pork rice, which is very on point.

@ Los Angeles, California“

“I have been eating at this restaurant for the last 5 years and I absolutely love the yellow chicken curry. It's actually the only thing I've ever gotten and I've gotten it over 60 times. I just tried the pad Thai chicken noodles last night for the first time and although it tasted really great, I noticed my heart was racing a little bit after I ate it which only happens when I consume MSG. I seem to be the only one in my family that is sensitive to MSG, but I definitely feel it. There's been many studies about how MSG is not very healthy for most people so I'm leaving this comment in hopes that pad Thai on Beverly follows what many other restaurants are doing and removes MSG as an ingredient in certain dishes. Luckily, they do not use MSG in the yellow chicken curry. Again, this is a really amazing restaurant.“

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

“muy buena comida y el servicio muy amable.“

“Eat often ! Love the service and food!!!“

“Tasty food and great atmosphere“

“If I could give Tuk Tuk Thai on Sawtelle in W. L.A. six stars, I would. They serve, hands down, the best Thai food I have tasted outside of Thailand. We were blown away by everything...the delicious, creative, authentic, clean food with the freshest ingredients , the cute, funky, casual and intimate space and exceptional hospitality. We ate incredible tasty, innovative and beautiful dishes such as mouthwatering fresh scallops and shrimp dumplings, duck, Wagyu beef and a killer pad Thai to name a few. The servers and kitchen were flexible to accommodate our parties' diverse dietary requirements and did so with pleasure and grace. I highly recommend you to run, not walk, to try this W.L.A gem..I cannot wait to go back!“

“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“

“We sat outside. The inside is beautiful but we are more comfortable outside. The staff, the owner/chef all waited on us and the service was amazing. The food was so delicious. Every dish was tasty. The favorite at our table was chicken satay and garlic noodles. We highly recommend this place.“

“Love love... me and my sons fave...“

“Talesai is a truly special place. The interior is simple, elegant, and incredibly welcoming, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. The staff is always courteous and attentive, adding to the overall wonderful experience. The cuisine is consistently fresh, packed with all the bold, delicious flavors that make Thai food so crave-worthy. Their menu is diverse, offering something for everyone, whether you're in the mood for a comforting classic or an adventurous new dish. Every visit keeps me coming back, and I always leave feeling nurtured, satisfied, and already looking forward to my next meal here. Highly recommended!“

“This is my go-to spot for Thai food. The Tom Kha soup is incredible, the chicken fried rice comes with a flavorful garlic sauce, and the yellow curry over brown rice is wonderfully rich. The service is consistently excellent too. Highly recommend!“

“My friend took is to Si Laa Thai Restaurant for dinner this evening. The food was delicious and service was good. I will go again definitely.“

“I have been here several times and each time it's different. The food is usually very good. I have wanted to try the Drunken noodles for a while now and I finally did. I don't know if they have different cooks but that day the noodles were overcooked, very, very soft like a half step from just mushy which made it hard to taste all the seasoning of the dish. We also had the chicken satay with a peanut butter sauce and onion and cucumber vinaigrette which was definitely delicious. The Thai tea was okay“

“The food is amazing and will have you ordering more items from the menu. 5 Stars!“

“Overall, a nice & chill Thai restaurant. Great food, nicely served.

I don’t go often to Thai spots, since this one was on my list, I was looking forward to try!

We came on a Sunday for a lunch and it was pretty quiet. We sat outside. They had a few good options, we got Thai dumplings (chicken & veggies), chicken satay, pad thai and pad see ew.

The starts were good. The chicken satay with that peanut sauce was delicious.
The pad thai and pad see ew had really nice portions for us - maybe having starters helped make us full faster. But, i still felt like portions were generous. The food was tasty, good in my opinion. Again, not an expert here but it was to my taste.

We left the place satisfied, so I would definitely recommend for anyone around to try. Easy and simple Thai restaurant.“

“The best Thai food in LA!“

“Best Thai food I’ve ever eaten.“

“I finally checked out Summer Buffalo after my sister kept raving about it had to see what the hype was about! I ordered the tofu pad Thai with extra sauce and the mango sticky rice.
The pad Thai was solid the extra sauce definitely helped. The mango sticky rice was good but I wish it was juicier? Maybe a bit more of the coconut sauce could’ve made it less dry. That said, the space itself is really cute dark, cozy, with a nice ambiance. And the staff is SO sweet and welcoming. Seriously, thank you for being so kind!
Not mind-blowing, but overall a really good experience. I’d come back!“

“David’s Special! So Delicious! Love the taste!“
