Diner Review №1

I love a good lunch special, and after living here for so many years, this was my first trip to Thai Anantra.

I tried the sesame shrimp, which is #12 on their specials menu. It comes with rice and a salad, and at $12.95, it's definitely a steal.

I also ordered their Thai tea, which looked absolutely beautiful, and I couldn't wait to mix it up.

The staff was incredibly kind, and our food arrived quickly. If you're in a hurry during your lunch break, this place is definitely worth a visit.

New favorite. Authentic Thai.

Diner Review №4

The ambience was great. The quality of the dishes is above par for West Valley Thai food scene, which has been improving over the last ten years. The panang curry was excellent . The availability of spice jars needs improvement.

Diner Review №5

Best tom kha soup ever.

Diner Review №6

Incredibly delicious food! Great quality and great portion for price. The staff was genuinely sweet and the restaurant was honestly beautiful despite its small size. It was comfortable too! Hope to eat here again the next time I visit California! ^-^

Diner Review №7

It's the best Thai food I've ever had and the customer service is out of this world.

Diner Review №8

Good food, excellent service and love the atmosphere.

Diner Review №9

I have had pad Thai so many time in my life, all over the country. This was the worst most lame pad Thai that I have ever had, noodles were dry and flavor less..How
do you screw up a pad Thai lol it’s one of the most popular thing to order. Wasn’t even worth saving. Don’t waste your money like I did :(

Diner Review №12

Love the comfy ambience. And absolutely love the dumplings! Not too bright lights, it’s perfect! The severs are really courteous and attentive!

Diner Review №13

Awesome food

Diner Review №14

My first time eating here and my overall experience was great! Beautiful place on the inside, very clean and well maintained. I ordered the Devil Noodle w/Chicken with medium spicy level. The level of spice was prefect. I was able to enjoy the essence and flavor of all the ingredients unlike when a dish is too spicy. I also ordered the Crunchy Veggie Rolls. They were a little plain tasting, however the sauce that came with them gave them a boost. I ordered my meal to go and it was still super hot when I got home. That’s a plus!!

Diner Review №15

The food was SO delicious.
I felt at home, as if I were being served a home cooked meal, so delicious again, thank you 😊.
Quiet and quaint, I was very comfortable there. Enough food to take some home to eat later or for a neighbor.

Great Tom Yum soup.

Diner Review №18

Diner Review №19

The waiter (man) gave bad service, took long to give us our food when we were there first.

Diner Review №20

The host doesn't seem pleasant whatsoever and doesn't even greet you properly. Brought out my lunch, and the person with me had to wait for theirs for over 10 mins. My lunch got cold from me waiting for the other person's meal since it would be rude for me to start to eat mine while my co-worker waited on theirs. Apetizer was brought out way after both meals were served. Please do better.

Diner Review №21

This restaurant deserves more than five stars! Get the Alaskan Salmon—it's really, really good. This place is less than a block from my office, and the Thai tea did not let me down. I'm not sure why I hadn't visited before. It's quite affordable because of the fair costs.

Diner Review №22

Now that I've been here twice I could definitely say the food here is quite good. I haven't dined in yet, but usually I like to pick up to go and although I can say they're usually busier than you would think the service is usually quite good everyone's pretty nice, although sometimes it feels like they don't want to give you extra soy sauce or chili sauce. If you ask for it they will do it. The ambiance is quite cozy so I would say it's a cool place. If you want to pop in for lunch or something. Do be aware they do have a parking lot but it can get a little packed at times so keep that in mind but I would definitely say it's a good place to check out.

Diner Review №23

Im glad I got a chance to come here and try their food. It was a pleasant experience and the food was good

Diner Review №24

Diner Review №25

My favorite Thai place. Very nice atmosphere, very friendly service, very flavorful food. Prices are reasonable, but, more importantly, food is great!

Diner Review №26

Parking is hard. Was packed during weekdays lunch. Looks to be a bit understaffed that day we went. Food is really good and decently priced.
Update: great food. Not too busy. Easy parking. Food was a little slow to come out for each dish.

Diner Review №27

Super good food! Service was a little slow, but I appreciated that since we didn't feel rushed and didn't have anywhere to be in a hurry.

Diner Review №28

I order through GrubHub and the food is ALWAYS great! i love the buddha salad and Panang Curry. but i've also had pad thai and pad see ew and its always amazing.

Diner Review №29

Diner Review №33

Ordered the satay chicken. Loved it, very clean and modern decor. Clean restroom. Nice server. Food came relatively quick. Enjoyed and will be back.

Diner Review №34

Small Thai restaurant with a really nice atmosphere and some amazing food. Would definitely recommend the Bangkok BBQ Pork.

Diner Review №35

I cannot express how upset I am with the service I experienced today at this restaurant. The older man with tattoos took our order and rushed us. He was walking away as I ordered and wasn't even finished. Then he kept rushing me In a disrespectful manner. At first I believed it was because it was busy but then I saw how he treated other customers. He handed the check and thanked other guest but he slammed our check and just walked away. I would never recommend this location until you reeducated your servers.

I ordered the yellow curry and the chicken was dry. The curry itself was watered down as well. No flavor.

Diner Review №36

I was craving for Tom Yum soup, and we decided to find a Thai place to have dinner. Its even our first time here. And the expecatation was on point. Food was amazing, i love the drunken noodles. The ambiance,we have a baby they were able to accomodate us plus the service is great. Pricing are reasonable. We would come back for sure!!!

Diner Review №37

Very nice staff. The parking lot gets full during lunch.

Diner Review №38

Diner Review №39

This is a solid Thai restaurant - they specialize in take out but the decor inside is beautiful!
Def come here again

Diner Review №40

Great tasting food & papaya salad. Attitude & friendliness factor needs a little improvement.

Diner Review №41

Diner Review №42

Excellent. This is the BEST THAI restaurant. We went twice in two weeks

Diner Review №43

5 stars is not enough for this restaurant! Order the Alaskan Salmon, and wow, simply delicious. The Thai tea did not disappoint, I'm not sure why I didn't come here before, is less than a block from my office. The prices are reasonable, so it's very affordable.

Diner Review №44

My first time to order here and the ground chicken flavor was not good. The raw onions on top didn't do any good to add flavor. It tasted bitter.

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

Diner Review №47

Just found my new favorite Thai restaurant!
From the minute I set foot at this place I think the owner was so nice and alway checking on me asking how was the food and if I needed anything. The food was amazing very well explained menu with variety of food and explained if was vegetarian, gluten-free, tofu, and I like it it was so easy for me to pick (I’m a very picky eater). The place wad super clean and nice and the background music was excellent. Definitely will come often. FIVE STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Diner Review №48

It’s hard to not love this place. This lunch specials are hard to beat, the food is ridiculously delicious, and the employees are always so kind.

The good part about this specific location compared to the one on topanga is they have weekday appetizer specials. Truly a bargain.

Overall , I highly recommend Anantra.

Here’s what I suggest ordering

Veggie rolls
Hainan chicken plate - Fried
Thai tea
And side of peanut sauce for chicken and rice dipping.

Diner Review №49

Very good Thai food and fast, friendly service.

Diner Review №50

Not really a permanent rating haven't taste enough food yet

Diner Review №51

Unexpectedly yum yum yummy! Large portions and super delish

Diner Review №52

They serve the best Thai fried rice and pad see ew I've ever ate. The price is amazing. The restarunt looks new and has a awesome vibe. The service is excellent. Overall 10/10. Ate here probably 20+ times and the food and service has always been 10/10.

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

The 2 stars are for the ample parking and the spotless dining area. I had takeout and didn’t stay, but it looked lovely, and the staff was kind. The dishes that I ordered had all of the usual ingredients but zero flavor. I asked for “medium” but still no spice. I order from Thai restaurants for the cultural spices that aren’t sold at Ralph’s. The kafir leaves and galangal were missing. So imagine ordering Thai food at the Ralph’s deli counter. This is how it would taste.

Diner Review №55

The best Thai restaurant I’ve been to. Beautiful decor. Very clean. Great food and great service. I would highly recommend.

Diner Review №56

Must try mango sticky rice! All food beautifully served. Atmosphere a great plus.

Diner Review №57

Best food ever had!!

Diner Review №58

First time trying Thai food and wasn't disappointed.

Diner Review №59

Diner Review №60

Very good food, although not as spicy as some Thai food might be. Of course, this can always be because (y)our server makes an estimation of "spicy ability" when we say "medium" or "hot" etc.

It's very small inside, and clean. However, if there is a large party, or a party with children that are poorly behaved (actually an issue with poorly behaved parents), then there will be no place to hide from it. It is very cozy.

The folks are very friendly, and very attentive. The menu is broad, and the food is very fresh.

Parking is tight, but there are a number of spaces available.

Diner Review №61

Sadly, I am giving this place 1 star not because of the food (where I give it 5 stars hands down), but omg they went up on their prices A LOT. Good way to lose customers, and sadly I'm one of them. Too bad

Diner Review №86

If you are Vegan do not eat here! The only vegan entree was horrible. Vegan red curry with vegetables. I had them add tofu and they used silken tofu. It was just awful. Beware eat at home

Diner Review №87

You’ll need proof of vaccination to dine-in. Prik King Spicy Chicken with string beans & chili sauce. The rice size is about a small fist. I had to order another side rice which is about the same size. Other than that this one meal made me full (string beans). Usually I can eat more...nope.

Diner Review №88

Outstanding Thai restaurant. Truly impressive flavors. Loved the papaya salad, Tom Kha soup and eggplant plate. Great service by lovely people.

Diner Review №91

Not really worth it. 😕

Diner Review №92

Muy bueno 👌

Diner Review №93

Food is good, ordering has room for improvement.

Diner Review №94

Used to love this place, but honestly I feel like the service has gone down. They sent us an offer since I’m on the phone mailing list for a free special entree with purchase of $40- so of course I wanted to get it. We followed the link they provided and when the site prompted us “Redeem coupon?” we chose yes. However, we get our food, and no free entree. We called, and they just continued to tell us we needed a “coupon code.” The people over the phone were quite rude, especially given that this was a coupon especially provided for returning customers. The text did not provide any code, nor did the site they linked ask for a code. So basically, we spent $50 on food and never received the promotion we were promised. I love this place- I went here for my birthday, and my mom’s birthday. But clearly they don’t respect their customers, so I’m going to avoid eating here in the future. If you order here, be aware that you probably have to read the fine print before doing so.

Diner Review №95

I had some food to go this time. All very good, hot & tasty.

Staff is okay. Could be friendlier.

TIP: Go at lunch for the specials. BBQ chicken is not offered at all. Parking lot for the restaurant

Great food. Still eating dinner and wanted to write my review right now. Pineapple Fried rice is excellent. The appetizer sampler is great for 2 people. FYI, small white rice order will need to be added, if desired. Not a biggie. Now we know. 10/10 will order again.

Diner Review №127

Ordered the lemongrass chicken and shrimp soup and orange chicken. Seemed like a cute place in a not so great location. The soup lacked flavor and the shrimp was very fishy. The orange chicken didn't taste fresh and was tough not tender. Left me rather disappointed.

Solid 4 stars...
Food was decent
Service was good.
The mango sticky rice dessert was good.

Nothing amazing stood out...

100% better than most of the Thai food in the area.

I got the chicken it was a little dry and too sweet for my taste.

I will come back to taste the other desserts.

Diner Review №136

The spicy fried rice and filet mignon were really good. I will definitely revisit this restaurant again

Diner Review №153

Glad we decide to come eat. What we ordered was really good. It was clean, calm and a relaxed environment. The only thing is their was only two servers, as soon as we sat down and placed our order a large crown came in and several small groups. it did take a long time for us to get someone attention. They were more attentive to the larger groups. Overall it was good food would come back just not too hungry.

There good is exceptional. The service is caring and humble. The atmosphere is refined. We could have done without the television though.

Diner Review №178

The restaurant is nice, new, and clean. The staff is friendly. But that's the only nice things I can say. The crunchy veggie rolls were like taquitos that are 2/3 filled. The Pad See You although not bad wasn't good either. The noodles fall apart and were bland. I couldnt taste any garlic. For almost $20 its definitely not worth it when I can get the same flavors at Panda Express.

So wemt back and basically the lunch specials have a little more flavors but still weak when I think of what I expect from Vietnamese food. The only thing that had flavor was the lemon mayo on the lemon chicken.

Diner Review №179

Their food is amazing! It did take a bit of a wait for the food to come out, but that may have been because there was a large party that got sat around the same time as us. The staff were very friendly and apologetic for the wait and made sure we were happy and taken care of while we waited.

Every dish was delicious. We got the Crying Tiger, Pad Thai, Crab Fried Rice, Yellow Curry, Fresh n' Gingerly, and a Prik King with chicken. It's important to note that they use real crab meat in their fried rice was very pleasant. Sometimes I know some places use imitation crab.

The parking lot is TINY. There are around maybe 7-10 parking spots? But if you can find a spot, it's worth eating here! The restaurant is also on the smaller size as well.

Diner Review №180

decor is inviting and relaxing. service is great! food is absolutely amazing!!! portions are a tad on the smaller side, but the taste..... omg!

Diner Review №189

Anantra Thai Restaurant in Canoga Park was alot better then I expected. It's a brand new looking restaurant. Very conservative and clean feel to the place. With awesome service to add. The food didn't exactly "blow me out of the water" but it wasn't bad or anything like that. My entire party of 5 all left full, so no complaints there. I did notice they have pretty good lunch specials Monday-Friday. I'm definitely going to come back and give a few more dishes a try.

Diner Review №190

This restaurant is next to our office, and we sometimes go to Anantra for lunch. The food is great, the service is efficient, the prices are fair, and the atmosphere is pleasant. I am glad they opened. My employees and I like it.

2nd time here. Just opened a month ago. I ordered the gingerly chicken with white rice. The food was amazingly delicious! The tender chicken and carrots and celery and ginger sauce was all sorts of nom noms. The service was attentive and very friendly. The price point of my meal is just slightly above average cost but the quality of what I ordered was delicious! I would recommend to give this new cozy little place a try.
