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.“

“We had such a great experience at Siam Cafe Thai Food! The food was absolutely delicious — super flavorful and fresh. The service was amazing too; everyone was very kind and attentive. They even surprised us with a complimentary dessert, which was such a sweet touch! Highly recommend this place if you love authentic Thai food and great hospitality.“

“This meal is a representation of generational abundance.
The meal is beyond delicious, it’s a welcome mat into their home. The fried rice is so fluffy and delicious that I took every morsel as a delicate reminder of what the perfect blends of seasonings and tastes come together to make a memory. 👏👏👏Thank you for this experience“

“The place is great staff is friendly. Recommend the spicy seafood soup or chicken coconut soup. Have dined in for lunch usually call for takeout for dinner. Skip the appetizers as entrees are almost the same price. Would recommend to friends and family A+.“

“I love the food.“

“Everything was cooked to perfection. The food was flavorful, the service was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. I loved the cozy atmosphere too.
No parking lot, but there's plenty of metered parking available within a block or two.“

“Best Thai in LA - super authentic and everything I've tried has been phenomenal. So happy to have them nearby!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The Khao Soi was really good and very authentic. exactly how it should taste. Everything else we tried was just as excellent.

Service by Sebastian was outstanding: attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. Really grateful for such a great meal and service.

ขอบคุณครับ 🙏“

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

“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 😊“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

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

“A must-stop whenever I'm in the Valley. LaVo specializes in Thai fusion pizzas. The Thai Curry Chicken and Pad Kapao Gai (Spicy Basil Chicken) are standouts, and the Tom Yum Pizza is worth trying too. Spice is adjustable, which is great for groups with varying tastes. They also have a full Thai menu with a solid range of noodle dishes if pizza isn't your thing. Consistently excellent.“

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

“My daughter’s and I love love love Nong’s. The dishes are amazing. You can’t beat the price (especially in LA). The portions are very filling. And the service is sweet and swift. I swear there’s a mama (or grandmama) bear in that kitchen. If you love Thai, Nong’s hits the mark… EVERY TIME!!“

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

“💯 % recommend go now and try“

“Some of the best Thai food we’ve had in America. The whole fried fish was definitely the highlight of the meal. The crunchy rice salad was really unique and flavorful. Only complaint is that the restaurant is really loud, and we got rushed out of our table“

“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.“

“👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“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 “

“Absolutely fantastic place!
My first time and I was greeted by the sweetest cashier helping me choose what I want and what specials are available.

I chose a pad Thai with shrimp and a Thai tea to drink.

The Thai tea was rich, creamy, and not to sweet and perfect to cool down the spiciness from the hot sauce.

And that pad thai - WOW. It's one of the more unique pad thai I've had, it's a tad sweet so the hot sauce helps balance it out, and it's a very rich and noodle-focused dish. The shrimp were a tad overcooked but still tasty and juicy. I loved the juiciness of the noodles too without it being a swamp of sauce.

I will definitely need to come back!!“

“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)“

“Everything was Awesome! Great food and Atmosphere!“

“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!“

“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 was staying next door at the Hampton Inn and looking for authentic food. Ms. Nat was so sweet and amazing. The Thai Tea is the best I have ever had. The first meal was drunken noodles with beef - incredible. The 2nd meal was Pad Thai with chicken and thai spice; she added a special sweet & sour spice that made this the best Thai meal I have ever had.“

“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 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.“

“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!!😍😍😍🍹“

“10/10 restaurant, absolutely recommend. Had the Asian summer rolls, Inari rolls, Love rolls, and Pad Thai w/tofu. The Thai coffee was so good. All was delicious and cooked perfectly. Service was fantastic, big shoutout to Dear, server! Lovely atmosphere.“

“Superb Thai food. I loveeeeeee coming here. 🙂 The host (Nick) always greets me with a huge smile and I thoroughly vouch for the customer service. I’ve been coming here for 8 years. I enjoy the Pad Thai and the green curry. I got a special treat for my birthday. They are like family. This restaurant is awesome. The flavors remind me of my travels to Bangkok in 2019. Authentic flavors and even better hospitality. This is why Hae Ha Heng deserves a 10 starts out of 5 stars. Outstanding!!!!!!“

“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.“

““We have been coming to Thai Victory with our whole family — my husband and our children — for the past two years 😊 We absolutely love this place, especially the Tom Yum and Pad Thai 🍜🔥 We have been living in America for three years and have tried Thai food in many places, but this is the only place we truly enjoyed.
We would also like to highlight the service: very kind and pleasant people ❤️ We met a young family who work there and are the owners of the restaurant. They always treat us with warmth and care, and we are very happy to have met such wonderful people 🙏 We sincerely recommend this place from the bottom of our hearts 💛”“

“Went here last week for the first time ..I ordered the pad see ew beef (was bomb), egg rolls (didn't even need the sauce freaking good) and Thai ice tea (huge and delicious).. Customer service was excellent, very friendly.. good prices.. gonna go back and try the rice bowl curry and a soup.. worth the drive from Boyle Heights.“

“My husband and I were so happy to find this local Thai treasure. I'm always searching for pad Thai with the really thin noodles and this is one of the few. It's now replaced our previous choice for regular takeout (and we used to live in Hollywood next to the Thai town). We had the hidden treasure, beef satay and loved those too.
Love the service here too, though that rarely influences my restaurant ratings.“

“This place is a hidden gem imo, Service is always fast and nice, the food is always fresh, and compared to other spots the price is reasonable for the portions. I’ve been ordering togo for a while now and my mom loves the garlic green beans w/ seafood so I can confidently say that I would recommend to anyone in the area craving thai.“
