My favorite drunken noodles are from here - probably have reordered them close to 50 times now. Only complaint is I wish the portion was a bit bigger. Employees are always so kind, and the environment is peaceful and cute. Easy parking nearby as well!

Diner Review №2

The food here is very good. The lunch specials are reasonable. I recommend

Diner Review №4

I look at the reviews and they were really good that’s the reason I went. The food is not good!!! I had the spicy rice and it was dry no seasoning and very dry slice chicken. The RIBS were really really BAD! It was small pieces that was fried and very tuff!! The Angle wings were DRY!! No seasoning!!
I can’t believe that they got 4 or 5 stars!!
I will never go there again!!!

Fast service. Clean. Street parking. Thought portions were very good (not sure why other reviews complained about that); felt very full. Food is tasty and fresh, but at times tasted underseasoned or very mild even when mild was not requested.

Diner Review №11

Horrible food etiquette.

Diner Review №12

My favorite Thai restaurant 😋

Diner Review №13

Diner Review №14

Great neighborhood Thai food. Food was great tasting

Diner Review №15

Scrumptious and perfectly portioned lunch specials.

Spring roll veg left something to be desired, carrots and cucumber were too tough (needed thinner fresher carrots and cucumber needed to be peeled imo) but still a great meal and the service makes this 5 stars.

Diner Review №16

Visiting from out of town and so glad we stopped here!! Got the yellow and red curry with white and brown rice. I wanted to luck my plate clean.
Lovely service, atmosphere, and food.

The servers were amazing: always checking up on us. We went pretty early, but it was already bustling with energy. We got the green curry, but we weren’t a big fan of it. However, their chowmein is really good. I loved that their foods had a lot of vegetables, and it was this perfectly seasoned. There are spices on the tables, and those are a nice addition to the meals as well.

Good service and good food.

Diner Review №26

Swanya is the best thai restaurant in Culver City. The food is amazing and flavorful. The service is always great too. Their lunch special is the best deal in town. If you like spicy food, order the Pad Kee Mau - it's fantastic.

Diner Review №27

Pictured is the Green Curry with brown rice from the lunch special. It was very filling and tasted great. The brown rice was not your normal brown rice, I felt it tasted better and was more filling and it tasted more nutritious. The vegetables were fresh and crisp and the curry sauce was delicious.

Diner Review №28

It’s better than average but nothing wowed me. I agree with other reviews about the underwhelming portion sizes. We ordered medium spice level which was too mild for our taste.

Diner Review №29

I don't normally review food but this place is overly priced and gives so little food for the price that I had to come here and share this info. Not cool to pay more than you would at other places but get far less food. The containers were tiny and food wasn't even filled up all the way. If you value, "value", skip this place. Food was good but not worth the price in my opinion.

Diner Review №30

Place average. Not enough food. Server waitress host. Miserable attitude or something. It's like they want you to spend a lot of money buying alcohol or something.

Diner Review №31

Amazingly good food & service. My new favorite Thai restaurant.

Diner Review №32

I ordered pad se ew it was much smaller than i was expecting for $16 and unfortunately it did not taste good tasted really oily and low on flavor

Diner Review №33

Best Thai food in Culver City hands down, All the Thai protein choices cooked to perfection Spice Level your choice but the winning factor here is the Flavor Plaet your Mouth an all it's senses will be Awakened, So if Hollywood is a bit of a drive for you and live within 5-10 miles this is your Thai Spot

Diner Review №34

Love love love the restaurant. It's a hidden gem. Beautiful food, reminded me of my holiday in Thailand. Highly recommended!

Diner Review №35

Authentic, flavorful, traditional style Thai food (like OG authentic). SO GOOD!

Stand outs are the red curry, pad krow, tom kha soup and chow mien

Located right next to a massage parlor, being able to get a massage and then pop in for dinner afterwards is the IDEAL situation

Food comes out quickly, great service and feel good friendly vibes all around

Excited to go back!

Diner Review №40

This restaurant has tasty food. But unfortunately, our service was very poor. I had reserved a table for five, and we arrived a few minutes early and sat down. There were two waters already at the table, but no one came to our table, let alone bring us three more waters or ask if we wanted them! Menus were already there at each place setting, but no server appeared to take our order. I had to call someone over! I had to ask for service! This is not right. As soon as people sit down at a table, a server should appear to greet them. It was not that crowded, and the restaurant is very small. I was really shocked at this poor service. We finally got appetizer orders placed, and those were brought out without too much delay. When the main course meals came, they brought three, then one more, and then one more. I don’t think that’s right, either. All the meals should come at the same time. This is a small restaurant, as I said, and it was not that crowded, so there is no reason we should’ve had any problem. Perhaps they were shortstaffed, but someone should’ve come to our table right away, even if just to tell us that we might have to wait a little bit for more service. The customer always comes first! I hope their service improves.

Diner Review №41

Very delicious dish: Eggplant with pumpkin and shrimp. Yum yum!!!

Diner Review №42

Coming in from Hawaii, I visited my mom for the day in Los Angeles. She took us to this quaint little Thai restaurant off Sepulveda. My mom is extremely picky about Thai food (us being Thai) so I knew this would be a good choice. It is also "kid friendly "so it won't be too spicy for those that don't want spicy.
I ordered pad kee mao medium and ate maybe half of it because I didn't want to fall asleep driving back to San Diego (conference). It was delicious and I added extra peppers. I ordered a Thai coffee which was also good. My nieces all had different items and seem to enjoy it especially the noodle soup. My friend had the pad Thai and loved it said it doesn't taste like the one in Hawaii (where we live).
We came on a Friday evening and it was not busy. Parking is in the back and although it was limited we did not have a problem with two cars.

Diner Review №43

The best Thai food in the Westside hands down.
Food is authentic, and service is unmatched.
I recommend it like no other. Try it and it won't disappoint.

Diner Review №44

Delightful dining experience. Food was very good and the service was excellent (we were the only ones in there, lucky us!)

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

Their noodles and curry are on point. If you like your curry spicy, make sure to ask for spice level, default spice is mild. Delicious food here!!

Diner Review №47

Can’t believe they cant make real Tom yum soup, tastes like Chinese herbal tea, I didn’t see any lemongrass, lime leaves, galangal, and cilantro. Other food… just so so.

Diner Review №48

Food was great it was fresh. I have the luncheon special and I had eggplant. It was spectacular..

Swanya Thai is an outstanding Thai restaurant. The flavors of their dishes are truly authentic, transporting you to the streets of Thailand. Everything we ordered was tasty. The service is attentive and the ambiance is inviting. A must-visit for Thai food enthusiasts.

Diner Review №52

Great tasting well prepared menu items! Great service !

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

The lunch was a very pleasant experience. The service and accomodations were very nice. Can't wait to go back for a tune up at the spa and grab some lunch with the hubby!

Diner Review №55

It's one of my favorite Thai places in Culver city. My bf and I both agree. We love Thai food, and we've been to many restaurants in LA. Service is great, very friendly, kind people. Their desserts are delicious! And the atmosphere is nice and cozy.

Diner Review №56

Spending a lot of time is Asia, I must say that their food is pretty close to the real thing. Had the Chicken Fried Rice with a egg and it was delicious! Side of peanut sauce was also really good and authentic. Service is also very good. The young lady (Gale was the name she n the bill) welcomes you with a smile, super friendly and yet very professional. Big thumbs up 👍🏻.
I’m from Europe but try to pass by every time I’m around. Will definitely recommend to friends.

Diner Review №58

Favorite Thai spot!

Diner Review №59

I feel bad leaving this review, maybe the restaurant is just having an off night? I was really looking forward to my meal. I ordered delivery and don’t feel like the quality of cooking was great. The veggie fresh rolls were mostly clumps of noodles with a few hard unchopped sticks of cucumber & carrot mixed in. the pad see ew had flavor but also black burnt chunks of egg all mixed in (looks like unclean blackened frying pan bits to be honest) 😕 I hope maybe this restaurant can do better!

Diner Review №60

Cute and quaint local Thai spot. I stop here after work before commuting back to OC. Good food, availability of beer and wine and easy service make these folk a no brainer.

Pineapple curry: 4/5

Wontons: 2/5

Diner Review №63

Good reviews are from the old owners as I used to enjoy the food from here too. They use different recipes now. The food is bland and flooded with vegetables using very little meat in the dishes. Also had a very unpleasant smell.

Second time here. Today i ordered the Pad Sew ew. Ready super quick. The lunch option came with small side salad. Food was good. The staff is very friendly everytime i come in. I recommend this place. Curbside meter parking available.

Diner Review №69

Diner Review №70

Good it’s ok. Not original

Diner Review №71

Diner Review №72

We decided to give this place a try base on the 4+ rating. It’s a 1 at best.
We ordered pad thai noodles, yellow curry, and snow crab fried rice. The pad thai was a weird yellow color with very little flavor and like no pad thai I’ve ever had. The yellow curry is bland, bland, bland. A very pale yellow tasting mostly like coconut milk. Even the rice is bland.
I’ll stick with Bangkok Thai or Celadon for my next Thai order.

Diner Review №73

Super legit and delicious Thai food. We walked over from our Airbnb hoping for one of the outside tables but both were taken so we ordered takeout. Service was friendly and superfast. Tom kah was fantastic - creamy and tart and perfectly balanced with tender chicken, my husband and I both drank the last of the bowls. Pad see ew was tasty and not super oily with a good amount of broccoli. I really wished we lived here so this could be our neighborhood spot.

Diner Review №74

Ordered extra spicy chicken noodles and fried rice, it was really good and actually spicy as well.

Diner Review №75

Es war einfach gut. Preiswert und mal was anderes Burger.
Checkt das aus 👌🏽

Diner Review №81

Great food made with fresh ingredients. Very friendly and attentive staff. Try the homemade coconut ice cream, it’s amazing!

Diner Review №82

Service was great and menu is exhaustive but the green curry was much too sweet and tasted more like dessert. The pad kee mao had a good flavor but had too much onion for me.

Diner Review №83

Pad thai was excellent! Pad see ew was ok, chicken satay was good.

Diner Review №84

Swanya Thai Cuisine is a very nice and cosy little Thai restaurant.
The food is good.
The staff is friendly.
There are some seats outside.
And there is a small parking lot.
I would recommend this Thai restaurant.

Stopped in because I love this little town, needed to use the restroom but didn’t want to be rude so I stayed for a nibble. It was DELICIOUS! And the service was impeccable! The place was crazy clean and they sanitize everything g the food was very authentic and it’s a local spot. I loved everything about it they also have a very cute aquarium will be back.

Diner Review №95

Diner Review №96

Great food. Minimal interaction with serving staff.

Diner Review №97

The Pad Thai was too sweet & almost cloying. It also took a long time to come though I don’t count that against Swamy’s because they had a lot of to go orders to deal with.Everybody else who ate with me loved their food, but I’m not a fan the dish that I ordered. I will say the waiter was great and the atmosphere is nice.

Diner Review №98

Loved the food here! I had the yellow curry with fish and it was amazing!

Diner Review №99

Great atmosphere 👌 great food service was great. The have a beautiful fish tank 😍

Diner Review №100

The best Thai food in town. I’ve ordered from this restaurant several times now and there hasn’t been a single dish we didn’t like. The Tom Kha with fish is a must try. Also, discovered Kai Kua and it’s delicious!

Diner Review №101

Diner Review №102

Diner Review №103

Food is very good! Do not order the boba though, the tapioca pearls are severely undercooked. And they do not give you utensils with your takeout order unless you ask.

Diner Review №104

Have to say I was very disappointed!
This restaurant is pretty small and right now they seem very focused on take out so a good portion of the restaurant is dedicated to take out and there delivery partners. We ordered a few things. We started with egg rolls which came out hot and were pretty standard but tasty! We then moved onto spicy fried rice, beef Crying Tiger, and yellow curry. The -“spicy” fried rice, although good, was very bland so we actually had to ask for additional seasoning and ended up reordering which ended up being better than the 1st batch. The crying Tiger was a crying shame! Very sad and not at all up to normal Thai standards. The curry was very watery and lacked enough ingredience to give it any substance.
My biggest scare here was the cleanliness of the back area near the bathrooms. A little scary with food and dirty dishes just hanging out there in the open! If I would have seen prior to ordering probably would have walked.
Although not a total bust would not recommend or revisit!

Diner Review №105

Foods good but it's always so busy.

Diner Review №106

Diner Review №108

I used to love this place. Tonight they sent basically garbage. Look at these burnt over cooked wings. Pad Thai had 6 tiny bites of chicken. What happened?!?

Diner Review №109

Diner Review №110

Absolutely amazing food & great service. I have many severe food allergies, and they accommodated me to the best of their abilities. I was well taken care of. I will be coming back!

ps: Order the Crispy Fried Banana. It tasted exactly like how my grandmother made it, and that was one of the happiest times of my life. Thank you for bringing that memory back.

Diner Review №111

Delicious and fresh!

Diner Review №112

Diner Review №118

Diner Review №119

Sooo, I am a travel nurse here in California and was told to try this place. Let’s just say the soup was Delicious until I noticed a BLACK BUG floating in it.!! Called and reported it and was told to send a picture. I sent 3 pictures, then I was told to bring the food back up there, which I trashed immediately after seeing the BUG.! I am a food business owner myself, why would I make my customer who is already upset after eating BUG JUICE, waist his or her gas to bring contaminated food back.? I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN.!

Diner Review №120

Found accidentally and now order regularly. Love this place!

Diner Review №121

Diner Review №122

I figured I'd try this place cause my go to spots were closed. never again

My pad thai tasted BURNT and dry☹ threw the WHOLE thing away!
Wasted 13$ on uber eats..

2 stars cause portions are good.

Diner Review №123

The service was friendly and prompt. The yellow curry never disappoints. I do recommend Swanya Thai and will be back.

Diner Review №124

Diner Review №125

We alway go here after a massage next door. The cream cheese wontons are a guilty pleasure. The duck dishes are what the hubs loves. Duck noodle soup, duck curry.... i like the thai sausage or crying tiger with sticky rice. Legit thai iced coffee.

Diner Review №126

Delicious Thai food! The shrimp fried rice was a little bland for me but the shrimp tempura was perfectly crisp and so were the spring rolls. The chicken wings were crispy and seasoned well and the coconut soup was hot and delicious! The portion sizes are good and the food arrived quickly. Would definitely return when I’m in the area!

Diner Review №127

The best Thai restaurant in all of LOS ANGELES!!!! The quality of food and taste is extremely high!!!

Diner Review №128

Diner Review №129

I have eaten here almost every day for at least 4 years. It is that good! The staff is incredibly kind and diligent with orders. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №130

Amazing flavors! Amazing prices and service is fast, professional, polite and accommodating.

Diner Review №131

Thai restaurants are very easy to judge. You pick a few staple dishes, sample, and judge based on that. Mine are chicken panang, tom kha kai, and pad thai. When I feel like it (which I always do), I get a thai iced tea or thai coffee. Their tom Swanya Thai Cuisine was arguably one of the best I've had. Panang was off and I didnt sample the pad thai this time around. I would definitely come back though parking is really annoying. But then again, it is in Los Angeles, CA.

Terrible service

Diner Review №135

Easily some of the best Thai takeout I've ever gotten in the LA area. I was really impressed with their presentation of the delivery and the flavor of everything. I barely finished my food before deciding to write this.

The cream cheese wontons were perfectly crispy and tasty. The Pad Thai didn't arrive dried outwout is common at other places I've ordered delivery from.

They made their Tom Kha Kai really mild at my request which was fantastic because my acid reflux can't handle a lot of spicey. Overall the soup was amaaaazing.

Easily found a new favorite place to order from!!

Stopped here for dinner while in town and had Pad Kee Moa with Shrimp,Shrimp Rolls and Tom Yum with shrimp...it was a shrimp night! Everything was delicious!! Really cute place. Love the fish tank. Limited seating but we didn't have to wait even though it was packed. They move people through pretty quickly but it didn't feel rushed.

Swanya is a lovely Thai restaurant (and massage next door but haven't been). My wife and I love their Pad See Ew with Tofu - comes with broccoli and fried egg all cooked together with just the right amount of soy sauce. We come here almost on a weekly basis. The staff is lovely and the ambiance is very nice. I definitely recommend this place. Their veggie egg rolls are great for appetizers as well.
