“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.“

“Delicious Thai food restaurant open late night great prices I can't complain. They're pad Thai is absolutely delicious. I also love getting a Thai tea there with some tum yum soup . Definitely recommend they do take out too but you can also eat inside for a cozy date night“

“Authentic Thai gem on Oxnard Blvd! From the warm Sawadika welcome to the last bite, everything was perfect.
Creamy Tom Ka Kai soup, flavorful Spicy Basil Chicken, crunchy Cashew Chicken, and heavenly Mango Sticky Rice.
Family-owned, friendly hosts, fresh ingredients, and true Thai taste. Highly recommended!“

“This place is a hidden gem. Building looks fairly average from outside but I swear I had some of the best cashew nut chicken here I've ever had. Had tons of flavor, large serving and tasted fresh. Prices are fairly average, for LA. I have found a new favorite when I'm working out here“

“They have plenty of parking, we waited to be seated, they put our left overs into container for us while we waited for our to go order of tom yum soup & this one spicy chicken dish with bell peppers. I wish we also got another of spicy fried rice with chicken or shrimp as a the meat choice to go since our left overs had us craving for more rice. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend this spot when the weather is bad and can’t make it to LA. I really enjoyed the classical music they played. It’s a lovely spot to have a great meal with family.“

“Food is fair priced and comes out extremely fast. Great quality and wonderful flavor. The Hostess was super friendly.“

“I love the food.“

“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“

“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.“

“Just landed in LA from Seattle and found this place as we were searching for a spot to grab food. The atmosphere is great. They use tablets with great photos of all the food. On the tablets you’re able to order all your food and send it directly to the kitchen to be prepared. The food came out quickly and HOT! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area. Be ready for great service and even better food!“

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

“This is definitely my new favorite tai restaurant. I’ve been eating different places for a long time and thought my favorite was in the valley. Randomly decided to stop here and I am NEVER disappointed! Plus the lady pat is so nice and attentive , 6 “

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

“Recommend for breakfast..“

“Came here yesterday for the first time after visiting the Thai market across the street. We had a beef noodle soup and a Thai curry pizza, they were both really great! I think I'll like their marinara sauce pizza more because the onions were a looooot for me. But if you love onions, this is the place!!!The pizza dough and crust was just ? great. Soft, pillowy. Definitely recommended.The beef noodle soup was great too!!! The perfect touch of sweetness and spiciness. Super flavorful. And the folks here were super welcoming and nice! Would definitely recommend this joint!“

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

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

“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.“

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

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

“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 have walked and driven past this place so many times. I always said to myself that I would come in and that I would take one of their cooking classes.
I was running errands as I get ready to move in January so I treated myself to dinner. Walking into this place the first thing you notice is that it’s cozy. The decorations are simple and the menu is scattered on the window above where you place your order.
The lady behind the counter was super friendly and helped me choose my drink which ironically is one of my favorites. Thai Iced T and she helped me decide on my second dish.
The tea was perfect!
My first dish was Moo Palo ( Braised Pork Belly with steamed Bach Choy and jasmine rice. ) The Pork Belly was perfectly cooked, tender and extremely flavorful. The rice was fluffy and the wasabi sauce was an amazing complement to the entire dish.
The second dish that hit my table was Kee Mow ( Flat rice noodles stir fried in our signature drunken sauce , white onion and bell peppers.) The overall flavor and chew of these noodles was absolutely mind blowing. I topped this dish with their hot sauce, then devoured it.
Now I will tell you one thing, do not and I repeat do not come here if you are in any way impatient or unaware that great food takes time. This place is a must visit and I mean that“

“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.“

“Everything was Awesome! Great food and Atmosphere!“

“Today was my second time going to Her Thai and second time being served by Veronica.

Veronica was incredibly attentive and made sure we had an easy and pleasant experience. She was super sweet and worked fast at the cash register whilst taking our table requests.

My partner and I got the yellow vegan curry and rice, drunken noodles, and rangoons. Each item was so hot and delicious, we ate fast!

I live local so I will definitely be coming back often, thanks to the delicious food and Veronica’s incredible service.“

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

“Tina, the owner, is an amazing person and great Thai chef. I dined in her cozy restaurant and we had a great conversation. I absolutely loved my Penang chicken curry over rice! It’s next to a famous boxing gym - all her favorite champions come by to eat after their workout. BYOB from the market next door“

“Kim Thai Food is an excellent spot for authentic Thai cuisine. The flavors are rich and bold, with dishes like pad thai and green curry cooked perfectly every time. The portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere that makes dining here enjoyable whether it’s takeout or dine-in. Definitely a go-to for delicious Thai food.“

“The food here is exquisite! I had pineapple shrimp curry, which came with a small salad drenched in a peanut sauce that's killer. Even though I was full when I finished, I was still craving more.“

“I am not vegan myself but the food here is really good. I always get the chicken Pho and the broth is savory and great. Tried mango sticky rice for the first time for desert and fell in love. It was really good. Definitely recommend to check this place out.“

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

“Fantastic food, fair prices, friendly service. Thank you, Sam and the staff, we enjoyed the food and the company. The place feels warm. The food we took to our fellows in the office got many compliments. Thank you,“

“Big portions, excellent prices, and authentic fare“

“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. _/\_“

“My husband and I just had pineapple fried rice, pad thai, red curry salmon, and papaya salad. EVERYTHING was top notch and better than any other Thai restaurant we have ever been to, including Original Thai BBQ, which was our go to restaurant for almost 50 years!! Truly, a hidden gem!!“

“What a treasure! Randomly came across this fantastic restaurant while staying in Koreatown. Great view of the Hollywood sign from the terrace, incredible atmosphere, tasty and cheap HH. I ordered a Tom Yum soup that just about blew my hair back and my date ordered a Tom Kha that was even better! We got the Pad Sew Ew to go for later, which was also decent as a late night snack. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an excellent, interesting, delicious, relaxed but intimate date night restaurant.“

“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 family run restaurant. I've been to over 500 thai restaurants around the world, and I usually order the same 2 dishes no matter what. First is Tom Kha Gai, the coconut soup, and second is Nuea Nam Tok, a beef salad that requires grilled and ground rice to make properly. Many restaurants miss this critical ingredient. Thai Victory nailed both dishes to the point that they earn the title Authentic. I would recommend this restaurant without regret. They've earned their rating.“

“Absolutely delicious! The crab fried rice had a generous portion of real snow crab. I added shrimp to mine for an extra charge.

The Wings of Angel were exceptional. The batter nice and crispy and they came out HOT.

The pickled cucumbers are nice and slightly crunchy with a flavor similar to cole slaw (minus the mayo).“

“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.“

“The food here is pretty authentic for LA Thai food, and the waitresses are really nice. Also, everything came quickly from the kitchen. When you take into account that everything everywhere has gotten more expensive lately, I think the prices are pretty fair. They only take cash though so be prepared for that.“

“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!“

“Amazing food and service!! Omg this place is definitely one to visit and make part of your regular dining spots. Loved the Panang Curry with beef and the seafood pot of Tom Yum. The dimensions of flavor were honestly on another level. The service was also excellent …super super nice and helpful.“

“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!“

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

“This restaurant is incredible. The vibes are so authentic and I love that the name is based off of the restaurant’s Thai village origins. Lili who served us was so welcoming and gracious. The food was just an absolute 10/10. We ordered Thai tea and Thai coffee- wow. Then we got Chinese broccoli with beef and tofu over rice- so fresh and flavorful. Finally we ordered Khao Soi with chicken drumsticks- the curry-like, nutty, creamy broth was divine with the soft rice noodles and the crunchy noodles with the cabbage and onion mixed in- COME ON!! It was a fantastic well-rounded experience and I highly suggest anyone try.“
