Parking lot is always full. I gave up trying to eat lunch here, after 4 weeks of trying. Never an open spot to park. Must be incredibly busy, which is great. But I miss eating here.

Diner Review №2

Where is the beef ,where is anything at all actually....? Just a plate of noodles. To be fair, after complaining I did get what I expected. Happy now.

Diner Review №3

My partner and I wanted to try some Thai food as we are new to the area and it’s one of our favorites. The reviews seemed okay so we went to check it out. We ordered multiple veggie appetizers all of them lacked flavor. They Also charged us each $3 each for a side of rice…was not mentioned when we ordered our curries, she just said “what kind of rice do you want?”. The only food item I enjoyed was my curry. Make sure to double check when you review your bill, the prices were a bit higher on our bill than on the menu. The servers were friendly but we Probably won’t be back sadly.

Diner Review №14

Delicious food items. Always a great experience.

Diner Review №15

Wonderful, polite, and friendly people, excellent food, cute dining room. The yellow curry is deliciously sweet and rich. Satay pork was crispy and juicy and went so well with the freshly-made peanut sauce. Love it! ❤️

Great food!!

Diner Review №28

We have struggled to find Thai food in Los Angeles that has been solid, we came here on a friend's recommendation and it was by far our worst experience to date. Came for dinner, restaurant was nearly empty, had a completely space cadet and inattentive waitress who could not multitask to save her life. We ordered multiple dishes, all lacked flavor, and when I say flavor I don't just mean heat. Basically bland. We needed heaps of chili sauce to even make it palatable. I could go into further detail but I was so bothered by the whole experience I really don't want to relive it in my head. I would absolutely never go back here. Food and service were both VERY bad. I almost spoke out but my husband just said to leave, that we would never come back. Go anywhere else, this place isn't worth it.

Min’s kitchen is a wonderful spot for dinner or takeaway. Conveniently located and friendly owners make this place a must-visit in the area. While portions are on the smaller size and it’s not cheap, the food is high quality and is worth it!
The miniature spring rolls were nice.

Diner Review №31

Diner Review №32

Simple amazing. I would recommend to anyone.

Diner Review №33

Top of the line Thai food in a small but tasteful room. Perhaps the best restaurant in La Canada

Diner Review №34

The first authentic Thai food I have found in CA, except it is sweeter than what I had in Thailand, probably in a bid to cater to local stomach.

Diner Review №35

Diner Review №36

The food was delicious and people who work are wonderful. My gf and I are not locals to the area, but we noticed the staff knew their regulars on a first-name basis which was a beautiful connection with the community.

BEST THAI FOOD EVER!!!! Staff is incredibly kind. Please go here if you want to have the best dining experience in your whole life

Diner Review №43

Highly recommended Thai restaurant if you are in LA. The server was very kind and friendly with a great introduction to the food, only an issue is lack of server. On the dish side, the coconut flavor was rich, great season, it gave me the atmosphere that I'm in Thailand. so the curry was just a tiny bit of watery , the utensil can be a little organized . But overall it's such a great Thai restaurant with friendly staff, I would highly go back to this restaurant again!

Decent food but expensive! Rice is pricey and an extra charge. Smallish portions. Not many veggies. Good service. Good flavor. Overall so-so.

Diner Review №50

Flavor of the Vegan tofu options not that good, maybe it was the oil used. Service was super S L O W.... .more servers needed. Would not go back or recommend.

Very welcoming staff.

Diner Review №57

Great tasting food!

Diner Review №58

Diner Review №59

The food was not bad. The Pad See-Ew was pretty good and so was the BBQ pork. The seasoning wasn’t overpowering, which I liked. The workers were friendly, too. We plan to return to try their other dishes.

We went back and tried their Green Curry, which was too watery. Their BBQ Chicken was too dry for my liking. So, I guess the food can be a bit hit-and-miss.

The best Thai food restaurant in LA in my opinion. I love their noodles and fried rice! Owners are such lovely and sweet people, they remember everybody's name by heart. They were very prompt and thorough in reacting to COVID, I fully trust their food and service to this day. Go support these amazing people!

Diner Review №96

AMAZING A+++++ I have friends in S.F. that make homemade Tai Food and MIN'S KITCHEN is the same. There's a real difference between "standard good restaurant Tai" and Good Homemade Tai. We ordered the sweet and sour beef, Pad Tai, chicken and Pineapple Fried Rice. Super-Perfect !!!!!!!
I LOVE Min's Kitchen
---and also JITLADA Hollywood, for my Dear friend JAZZ.
I'm posting pictures of her menu here because it was hard for me to find a full menu online.

The food was okay and the service was horrible. There is an older lady and a younger lady as waitresses. They are super rude.

Diner Review №107

Diner Review №108

Diner Review №109

The lady in charge was very rude. We go up front to pay and since the service was average and our bill was $45, my wife tipped $5 (which is a little over 10%). My wife signs the check and heads back to the table to grab something she forgot. The lady in charge looks at the receipt and sees that my wife only tipped a little over 10% and proceeds to follow my wife to the back of the saying "So cheap, so cheap!" over and over. Don't eat here unless you want to be harassed for giving anything less than a 40% tip.

Food was decent, but the lady in charge was very rude. My wife and I ordered curry, pad see ew, and Thai tea boba. The curry and pad were good but the Thai tea was too small for the price (4 sips and gone) and the boba was mushy instead of chewy.

I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to get to Min's Kitchen but I can tell you honestly that I'll be back over and over again! The food was outstanding and the staff were very nice. We took a family sized order to go and ate at home but the restaurant was full and everyone seemed very happy. The food was AMAZING! We'll be back!

Hidden gem. Pad Thai is amazing here, and have been impressed with everything else I've tried. Family run place, dedicated to serving great food. Interior is a bit old, but they've been around a long time, for good reason. Its also rarely overcrowded so a nice spot. Very authentic. Oh, driveway just below it for their parking lot. Had sign up for half off to all uniformed firefighters!! Respect!

If you order the curry dishes then you'll get something great. My friends ordered another dish and was disappointed. I have it 4 starts because I ordered the red curry which was really good.

Diner Review №156

My favorite Thai restaurant I have ever been to! Fairly inexpensive with fabulous food and real Thai dishes makes this place amazing. And to add the cherry on top, Min is among one of the sweetest people you will ever meet, and she personally will greet and serve you. Love you guys so much, and I will definitely be coming back soon!!!

I've driven by this place probably a thousand times and never thought to go in. Last Friday evening, my wife, daughter and I went there for dinner and LOVED IT! The food was great, service was friendly and attentive...and did I say that the Thai food was great? My whole family likes Thai food and we have our favorites, like Hollywood Thai and President's, but this place is right up there with any of them. Definite five stars!

Diner Review №193

Having traveled to Thailand three times, I have acquired a taste for Thai cuisine. I looked forward to experiencing the delicious flavors of Thai food on US soil, but was disappointed to find that Min's Kitchen has modified it's menu to suit the local clientele (average age 60) rather than reflect the cuisine of Siam. At best, the menu can be described as generic "Asian" food from flyover country. Unless you are in a real hurry, I would suggest venturing a little further to find authentic Thai food.

Diner Review №194

The food is mediocre and more expensive than normal. You can do much better driving an additional 10 minutes.

Diner Review №195

We tried this place on a whim and it turns out its some of the best Thai food we've ever had. Try to Sticky Rice and mango
