“🐅🐅🐅🐅 yum yummy.. crying tiger so good“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“feedback regarding my recent visit to your Gardena location on Father's Day. I traveled all the way from Orange County specifically to try your mango sticky rice.

While I found the mango sticky rice to be good, I felt the price was a bit higher than other places I have visited, and I likely wouldn't make the long drive solely for that dish again. On a positive note, I really enjoyed the coconut jellies; the flavor was great and the size was satisfying, though I believe the pricing for those could also be improved.

Thank you for the meal and for taking the time to read my feedback.“

“I shall Thai my best, to find something good for lunch

Occupying the former location of Hanako, we've dined at the second previous tenant of this address, prior to Hanako. I've been meaning to come by Pudtarn Thai Cuisine because I'm a huge fan of Thai food, and Lunch Specials are an affordable option. This day seemed just the moment to try another local Thai restaurant for takeout.

Lunch Special Pad Thai-
Choice of protein (beef + $1, shrimp + $2), with rice, salad & egg roll. Oh, how have I missed pad Thai. Pudtarn's version hit the spot for my Thai food fix. Had the perfect amount of sour to sweet. Portions were generous, too.

Chicken satay-
Five tender, succulent sticks of chicken, served with creamy peanut sauce. Great accompaniment to the noodles, the pieces of chicken were delicious, especially when smothered in the sauce.

Service was good. A good amount of seating inside, the wait for takeout wasn't too long, since I was the first customer of the day. Parking can be somewhat difficult to come by, as some spaces are designated for the business in front of them. Hard to find on it's own, Pudtarn Thai Cuisine is located west of the car wash on the corner of Bloomfield & Centralia.

Pudtarn Thai Cuisine is a solid Thai eatery, and I'm definitely looking forward to visiting, again, in the near future. Their lunch specials are affordable, and provide an ample amount of food. Pudtarn Thai Cuisine has earned their spot in my food rotation list.“

“I came here on a rainy afternoon with no expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted so warmly. And then the food came.

You know that scene in Ratatouille at the end of the movie when the big food critic takes a bite and gets that flashback to his childhood? That warm, comforted, happy feeling? That’s exactly how this food made me feel.

It was hands down the best Thai food I’ve ever had in my life. Every bite tasted like real family, home-cooked love not just restaurant food.

The service was incredible. The woman there packed up my leftovers for me (something even a lot of “nice” restaurants don’t do), opened the door when I left, and even offered to let me borrow an umbrella because it was still raining.

If you want authentic, family-style Thai food that makes you feel something, this is the spot.

100/10 experience.“

“The food was delicious! My friend recommended it and we decided to eat there for lunch. Our refreshments were served in a cute mason jar. We shared chicken egg rolls for an appetizer. My friend ordered tom yum soup with shrimp and I got Thai Boat Noodle. I am definitely going to eat there again and bring my family.“

“Have lunch with co-workers every week here. Great food and very friendly service. Best Thai food I've found in the South Bay area!“

“Highly recommended by another fellow Elite Yelper so we decided to check it out. We had a good experience, both food and service were very good.

We started with Chicken satay and the meat was very tender and tasty.

Pineapple fried rice was a very generous portion (not served on a pineapple) and very good. You can taste the fire power on the fried rice that you can’t make at home.

Green curry with beef is tasty, but probably better to pair with shrimp or chicken or tofu.

The seafood hotpot was slightly more sour than what I’d like (this is normal and expected as my stomach can’t tolerate acid very well, and mentioned ahead of time), they gladly took it in and mild it down for us. It came out a bit later and it was delicious.

Service was excellent, it was pretty busy with all the tables taken, everyone was courteous, caring, and helpful.“

“Best Thai food, Very good service, and clean dining place“

“We tried this Thai restaurant for the first time, and our experience was amazing! The taste and quality of the food were excellent. Our favorite, the Tom Yum Soup, was absolutely delicious. We also tried the Spicy Basil Clams for the first time, and they were incredibly flavorful and mouthwatering. Overall, it’s a great restaurant if you enjoy authentic Thai food. We would definitely visit again!“

“Tastes absolutely delicious and exactly the same as it did 30 years ago! Teriyaki chicken, order the #1 and you'll be happy!“

“Great food service and price Very clean atmosphere too!“

“Rice Street Food was really tasty - everything was excellent! We had the sausage, egg rolls, and wings for appetizers, and for mains we had the Ancient Lad Thai Seafood, pineapple fried rice, and my son had the teriyaki chicken bowl. We finished with mango sticky rice for dessert. Everything hit the spot perfectly.

Only small thing was the owner took my cup for a water refill and never came back - we joked with him about it after. Wasn't a big deal at all, we just walked to the cooler and grabbed a soda lol. Will definitely be back!“

“The atmosphere and Sid the owner so friendly and makes you feel so welcome ...awesome food and love the Thai ice tea“

“Did not expect to be this nice because google image show a very simple restaurant. I went there yesterday with my family we were looking for Thai restaurant near by my house. I just move here for school so not familiar with area but my family want to eat our culture food. I am on a budget and this place coming with high rating. I like it a lot. Service was good. Crab fried rice for $13.99 is to die for. I usually spend closer to $20 for crab fried rice else where and they even use the real crab. Chicken wing are amazing. Red curry is also taste like home. I will definitely coming back. We sit there for closer to 2 hours and my nephew was entertain. They have games for kid and coin machine too. What a good find!“

“Best Thai Restaurant in LA! The owner Jamie is so sweet and she even has her own drink on the menu! When you go you must get the Jamie Juice!!😍😍😍🍹“

“A nice Thai restaurant that offers musical entertainment over the weekends and karaoke.

Food is always good here but service sometimes can be lacking a bit if they get very busy. We got basil chicken and green curry here and both were very good. However , they missed the mark with their dessert serving - Mango with Sticky rice. The mangoes were sour and that completely derailed the dessert.

Overall - a good little Thai restaurant that does the job !“

“A really wonderful dining experience! The food is so creative while maintaining integrity to both Thai and Japanese cuisines. It was really fun to be all seated at the bar for the Autumn kaiseki menu. The sommelier was so fun and friendly and recommended not only incredible wines, but bonus sake tastings well. it's the kind of place that does a fixed menu, but you wanna keep going back because it rotates and everyone's so friendly a perfect blend of upscale and Neighbourhood vibe..“

“I stumbled upon this cozy spot tucked upstairs in Ktown—super cute decor, comfy seating, and just the right amount of lively music. The food was incredible, with generous portions that felt way more premium than the price. The shrimp pot was a standout, and the Pad Krapow hit all the right authentic notes. Service was warm and attentive, though it got a bit busy during peak hours. Parking was easy in the plaza’s underground lot. One tip? Arrive early to skip the wait and explore the menu beyond the usual favorites.“

“The Best Thai Food in Long Beach 🏖 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great Food and service very reasonable.“

“I ordered a steak salad which was so delicious and filling. The flavor profile is on point. This a meal and a half, lunch and dinner. The pat of rice as a addition is really nice. Beautifully presented, this my new go to place for Thai food 😋 9/2026 Pacific Square is a world of genuine flavor. This place hits it out the park every time! Be careful how to navigate the parking. The spot in the corner incognito are the best.“

“The best. We’ve been coming to Thai Express for over 25 year, from back when their place was at the foot of Mount Washington. Thai is the sweetest. When I was pregnant, she’d slip my husband an extra treat for me for good luck. She creates special vegan dishes for us. Their Tom yum veggie perfectly balances spicy and sour, with intense kaffir leaf flavor. The yellow curry is decadently rich. We count these wonderful folks as extended family — love them!“

“I went to Khun Dom for dinner and really liked how different the experience felt from other Thai spots. The restaurant had a vibrant but comfortable atmosphere, with a simple setup that focused more on authentic food than fancy décor. It created a genuine, relaxed dining vibe.

For the meal, we tried spicy basil beef, pad thai, tom yum soup, jasmine rice, and crispy spring rolls. Every dish arrived steaming hot and had strong, layered flavors. The soup had a bold kick, the noodles were perfectly cooked, and the herbs gave everything a fresh, authentic taste. The balance between spice and flavor was impressive.

What made the visit memorable was how hearty and flavorful the meal felt without being overwhelming. The portions were generous, and everything tasted freshly made. Staff were efficient, friendly, and kept things moving smoothly.

Khun Dom stands out as a great dinner spot if you want rich Thai flavors, generous portions, and a lively but comfortable atmosphere.“

“Was working nearby looking for dinner to go. Asked if they can accommodate for gluten free, certain menu items yes(confirmed with an older woman, she was super sweet).Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai, Pad Woon Sen, and one of the salads. AMAZING! Best Thai I've had in a decade, especially for my allergy. I will be back and will continue to order from here“

“Very delicious array of food. The staff were very friendly and courteous. Food were cooked as you order them. We enjoyed the food. It is a mom and pop restaurant that serves great food.“

“They really need to update their hours, the food is awesome, but I came here on Friday at 2:25pm and the gal at the front desk said they close in 5 minutes. Their hours on google is incorrect. Very disappointing! I drove 20 minutes to get here 😕“

“The food was very good! I will be visiting again“

“The food is fabulous every time I try to call in an order. Nobody wants to pick up when I go to pick up the order. They don't recognize females as much as they recognize. Men.
For example, I'm standing there 15 minutes. Waiting for the lady to ask me what I'm there for and she didn't, so I sat down to wait. A man came in and she instantly said, are you here for pick up or to eat?“

“I recently visited this small family-owned restaurant while craving Thai food. As soon as I walked in, the owner greeted me warmly and provided menus. Shortly after, the owner's son pointed out the daily lunch specials, which were conveniently listed at the back of the menu, featuring smaller portions at a lower price.

Our meals arrived in under ten minutes and were delicious. The only downside was the salad; it had a few wilted leaves mixed in with the fresher ones. Overall, it was a great spot for a quick and satisfying lunch.“

“One of the best Thai restaurants I’ve been to in the U.S. I’d even say the food here tastes just as authentic and delicious as what I’ve had in Thailand.

I’m especially obsessed with their Tom Kha soup — it’s absolutely amazing and easily one of my favorites. But honestly, everything else I’ve tried here has been delicious too.

Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to!“

“Fresh ingredients, a little heavy on the MSG but this is normal for all Asian food. Highly Recommend, authenticity is very close to Easter province Thai food.“

“Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Not too busy for lunch. Servings were sizeable perfect for sharing . Free Desert is served after the meal. No my cup of tea but my mates thoroughly enjoyed it. The restaurant is somewhat dated but it was clean throughout. Don't pass by this place of you enjoy Thai food 🫠😊“

“Had lunch here. After spending a month in thailand, I really missed the food.
The food was great, the people are nice, and it all came out pretty quickly! But that's how it is in thai restaurants in thailand.
Had the spring rolls, pad see ew, and tropical iced tea. All were great.
Nice place, will visit again. 👍“

“I really like their food 😋“

“I absolutely love this Place! It’s my favorite Tai food restaurant!.. it’s a tiny little place but the food is superlicious and very affordable! The people who work there are so kind and humble! I love this place because I have Not had tai food this good in a very long time ????????“
