50 Best Thai Restaurants near Valley Glen

“This was our first time dining here, and we were genuinely impressed. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Everyone was very attentive throughout our visit and checked in multiple times to make sure we were enjoying our meal.

The food was outstanding — full of flavor, well-cooked, and served in generous portions. We ordered Pad See Ew, Khua Kai, Wonton Soup, Crispy Pork with Chinese Broccoli, and the Yellow Curry. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. It easily fed our family of four, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home.

If you’re craving truly authentic Thai food, this spot is definitely worth a visit. There was plenty of street parking available, and they also have additional parking behind the restaurant, which is super convenient.

We’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“A hidden gem in the heart of noho.

A local hidden spot for sure!

I eat here regularly and I didn’t want to give up my secrets of great places to keep the tourists out. (Truthfully) but realizing I’m only hurting my local spots from going big!“

“The service here was very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. They were accommodating to make dishes vegan and careful to make sure the details were correct. This eggplant and vegetables is delicious! Comes out piping hot, super fresh, and has lots of flavor without being too salty. I tried another place down the street and was disappointed so I came here after and wish I’d come here first! Great space, plenty of parking, and nice natural lighting. Would definitely recommend.“

“Excellent service! The food is good especially the deep fried soft shell crabs!“

“Had a friend come back from Chiang Mai days ago still craving great Khao Soi. Was not disappointed! Owner helpfully directed to some great northern sausage and a pork and noodle dish that was delicious. Duck curry also delicious. Pick up some Singha at the liquor store around the corner and enjoy.“

“The taste is very strong“

“this little hole in the wall restaurant is such a gem! the food is so authentic and home-cooked for very good prices! staff is friendly and helpful. there is limited parking. overall, 5/5 stars!

pictured are khao soi gai (bottom) and rad nar pork (top)“

“Truly authentic Thai food! Like being in Thailand 😋🌶🌶🌶“

“The green noodles were very fresh and delicious, and the portion size was generous. The duck was incredibly tasty juicy, tender, and full of flavor. It also came in a large portion. The basil duck over rice was equally delicious and flavorful. The dishes felt very traditional Thai style, and they were served with fresh vegetables on the side. The sauce was excellent as well. The roasted duck is the best, everyone must come and try it!!“

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

“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.“

“One of the best Thai food I had in LA. We had a group of 9 and the servers were very accommodating to get us a table. The food was awesome- we ordered Pad Thai, Panang Curry, Box of Prawns, Rainbow rice, crusted Salmon and Hot Mermaid. The food came out quickly and the service was great.“

“I'll give this place a ten star if I could; it's not your average hole in the wall joint! I tried the Spicy BBQ with shrimp fried rice and it was amazing! Even their Thai Tea was one of the best I've had in recent memories. The Shrimp fried rice had the perfect amount of fire taste: not too overpowering and not too subtle which was perfect. The amount was perfect as well: the thing was heavy for just one order. The Spicy BBQ also came with a dipping sauce that was very unique; it was citrous-y and fishy and it wasn't like anything I've tasted before which was amazing! For what it's worth, you can't go wrong with this place!“

“อาหารอร่อย บริการดีมากๆครับ 😇🙏🏻“

“best Thai food I've ever had and I have lived in Thailand“

“I found this place on my way to another Thai spot but this was closer. The food was pretty good. But i wasn’t blown away. The pad Thai had a weird sour taste to it and the shrimp in my tom yum was a little undercooked. The flavor profile on the rice was really delicious though and one cream cheese wonton was yummy. I may give another try next time I’m back in LA.“

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

“I’ve been a fan of SAOHA since the days they were selling at the Thai street food market. It makes me really happy to see how SAOHA business has grown over time.

Most importantly, the food is absolutely delicious. I truly believe that anyone who visits this restaurant will be impressed by the atmosphere, the friendly service, and the amazing flavors.

Today I had the Khao Soi Tempura, and it was absolutely fantastic! 😋“

“Nice and cozy place with delicious Thai foods.“

“love is place especially the salads very nice the waitress is very nice delicious yummy food“

“My Favorite Thai Restaurant. They serve authentic, freshly made Thai Food. Some of the entrees are not in a lot Of Thai Retairant like the Shrimp Paste Rice or the Stewed Leg Rice. Service is friendly and felt sincere. They also have premade Thai food that’s very authentic. This place is such an underrated hidden gem.“

“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.“

“Great service, tasty food, and amazing views. Good brunch spot.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Authentic Thai Taste & Chef-Level Pad See Ew! 🇹🇭🥢

I ordered the Pad See Ew. I absolutely loved it and couldn't stop praising the dish! The flavor is so authentically Thai, it feels exactly like eating at one of those famous, top-tier restaurants back in Thailand.

What makes this dish truly special is that subtle, beautiful smoky flavor from the wok (Wok Hei). You can immediately tell that it takes a highly skilled, professional chef to master the heat and achieve this perfection. Another huge plus is that the noodles aren't overly greasy at all, unlike many other places we've tried. The balance is just right.

If you are looking for authentic Thai food crafted with the skill of a master chef, you absolutely have to try Lamoon. Highly recommended! 10/10!“

Owner name is Two and she is great she is also the Chef.

“my go to Thai place in LA“

“อาหารอร่อยมาก น่าทานทุกอย่าง บริการดี“

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

“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 :)“

“We really love the MR tuk tuk at huni square! We receive the most amazing service from sajon and Ripon. They looked after our kids so well even brought them ice cream! We will Cơme hếre mạny mạny more times/ thank you so much 😊“

“Stopped in for a late lunch, got quick service and great food! The spicy garlic dumplings were AMAZING! Generous portions of meat in the lunch specials. I had Pad See Ew with beef and my partner had the Chow Main with chicken. So glad we stopped in! Will be back!“

“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“

“Highlights: yellow curry (incredible but I didn't like the HUGE carrot chunks; and there wasn't much chicken); roti (incredible); crispy wontons; pad thai (very good).

Wouldn't get again: orange chicken (good but not standout); drunken noodles (BAD; way too spicy); Tom Yum Kai (worst I ever had; very bad; literally couldn't eat it); mango sticky rice (good but the mango was really mushy)“

“Our go-to neighborhood gem — and we keep coming back for more!
My boyfriend and I have become regulars here, and honestly, we have zero regrets about it. We go probably more than we should (our wallets might disagree, but our taste buds absolutely do not!). What keeps us coming back is the fact that we’ve never had a single bad dish — everything we’ve ordered has been absolutely delicious.
What I love most is that the menu always gives us something new to try. We make it a little game — every visit, we branch out and order something we haven’t had before, and every single time, it delivers. That’s honestly rare. It’s one thing to have a few standout dishes, but when everything is this good, you know the kitchen really cares about what they’re putting out.
This place has become a true staple in our lives, and I can’t recommend it enough. Whether you’re a first-timer or a fellow regular, you’re in for a treat. Do yourself a favor and check it out — just don’t be surprised when you find yourself going back way more often than you planned!“

“Everything was Awesome! Great food and Atmosphere!“

“Well priced, authentic Thai food! Lams looks like a small hole in the wall, but the food is extraordinarily delicious. I ordered 9 meals for a group of friends and on pick up it was ready on time, packaged beautifully and still very warm. Every meal was perfectly cooked and so tasty. Just an incredible, friendly, quality Thai restaurant. I've been ordering from Lams since before Covid and it never seizes to impress. Do yourself a favor.“

“Boat noodle & minced garlic 🐔 over rice were exceptionally tasty. If you are looking for authentic Thai food this is the place to come go. It’s a small parking lot with few parking but there are plenty of street parking. Come one come all and bring your empty tummy to be filled here.“
