I was living in Vandenberg for a couple of months and when I found Suvan’s Kitchen it became one of my most favorite restaurants. I have traveled around the world and I was literally blown away at how freakin great the food and service is here. The Orange Chicken and Chicken Egg Rolls are my go-to. Food of the Gods!!! Thank you so much Suvans! I will miss you guys!!!

Best shrimp appetizer in Lompoc. Everything is fabulous and very hot when it hits the table...plus the food is sooooo fresh.

My Grandson and I absolutely love their food. Nathan took his girlfriend Ariana there for the 1st time & she loved everything we ordered.

Diner Review №4

Ever since all the Thai places in SM gone bad. This is my go to now.

Diner Review №5

We were on our last night visiting friends in California. I suggested Thai. I ordered a yellow curry with shrimp, very spicy. This is one of the few places that actually got the heat right. All our party enjoyed their meals. Prices were very reasonable.

Diner Review №6

My chicken panang curry had a wicked purgative kick. Not good.

Great food nice staff

Diner Review №9

Did a phone order at 7pm. After dinner rush. Waited 40 min. Drive from the Village to pick up, order was not put in, according to the cashiers. Wanted me to wait another 20-30 min. Had their food before and no thanks, not worth it! Thumbs down!!!

Diner Review №19

Very good, fresh, tasty, and satisfying. Quick, helpful, nice, and friendly. We will be back.

Diner Review №20

Been here twice, first time had the stir fry with chicken. So delicious! But yesterday I went and tried their chicken pho, and oh my! Soooooo delicious! The flavor of the broth was amazing! Will be going back for more soon!

Diner Review №21

Some of the best Thai food I've ever had!!!!!

Diner Review №22

We got the beef and broccoli & cashew nut chicken and had to throw it out. It wasn’t good at all.

We’ve never had an issue with the other food we’ve ordered, which is usually pad Thai & pho which is delicious.

Diner Review №23

We always enjoy coming here anytime we visit Lompoc. Best orange chicken I’ve ever had. Seems very homemade.

Diner Review №24

Delicious. Ordered Mongolian beef. Portions are huge. Enjoyed one dish for about three days. Kept getting better.

Diner Review №25

I had the pineapple fried rice with chicken and the spice level was Thai spicy. The food was excellent and the spice was right on point...had a good kick but not over powering. Would recommend and would go back.

Diner Review №26

Delicious food and nice staff, however the pad Thai simply had too much sauce. The flavor of the sauce overpowered the flavor of the noodles and vegetables to where you could only taste the sauce. With pad Thai the sauce should be lightly imbued through the dish so that the noodles retain a slight stickiness.

If too much sauce is added it prevents that stickiness. Additionally the sauce itself was too sweet but other than that it had great flavor.

As far as the ingredient profile, the dish did not contain egg, tofu, or somehow even bean sprouts which are all typical things to add to the dish. This is the first time I've ever been served pad Thai without bean sprouts, so that was fascinating.

And lastly, I emphasized to please make it as spicy as possible yet I would rate the spiciness at like 3.7 out of 10. Weak

Overall I rate it a 5.3 out of 10. Thank you for reading.

Stopped in for dinner and had a great experience. The food was delicious (crab ragoon and chicken pad thai) and the service was even better!

Diner Review №30

Food does not tast the same and jacked the price.

Diner Review №31

Diner Review №32

Diner Review №33

I stopped by to get some sticky rice it was fairly decent. Only downfall was I couldn’t get some pork belly or some chicken to go with the sticky rice only option was mango .

Diner Review №34

Diner Review №35

No vegetarian curries!
Food was very oily and very bland! No spices such as basil, lemongrass or galangal in any of the dishes.
I called ahead to ask if they can make curries with no fish sauce and they said yes, so we went there. Apparently everything was premade with fish paste so they couldn’t make any curries or soups or pad Thai vegetarian.

Diner Review №41

Such a great find in Lompoc! We are vegetarians, so beyond excited to discover such a wonderful place to eat is amazing.
Pho soup so yummy, tofu stir fry with cashews was so delicious! The Spring tools were so fresh and yummy too. We will be back again and again!
The service was exceptionally friendly and efficient too.

A cute warm restaurant.

We loved everything about our experience. Thank you.

Delicious Thai and Lao food in Lompoc! Customizable spice levels. Lower seating for some of the busier nights. Gluten free and vegan menus. No reservations seem to be possible although I didn’t try hard.

The larb brought me back to my experiences in Laos and was delicious and definitely a hit with my group. I do wish that they had a tofu or mushroom larb like I tried at some restaurants in Luang Prabang.

Other especially delicious items were the green curry and pineapple fried rice.

Diner Review №50

After days of eating bland food, this was a godsend. Notwithstanding the somewhat weird experience of walking into an Asian restaurant and being the only Asian customer, the food definitely hit the spot. I really enjoyed the papaya salad (tasted more Lao style than Thai), and their house special shrimp dish. In terms of spiciness level, their "medium" is barely spicy and "spicy" is just right. The service is no-frills - order at the counter and then grab a seat, but the staff were friendly.

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

I have been coming here for years and a few months ago things seemed off, but we tried again last night, sorry to say the food was not at all as it expected from my past! Two items are things that we always order shrimp fried rice, only three pieces of shrimp no vegetables or egg and way too spicy. The other was the pad Thai noodles with pork again not how it always has been in the past not sure if there’s a new owner?

As always fantastic. We come here to grab lunch for the whole office from time to time. Our orders have always been right or easily made right and are usually done before the estimated time they give us. The food is also pretty good. I got the chicken pad tai and have always enjoyed it. The staff while usually pretty busy still make it a point to give good service.

Susan's is the go to place in Lompoc for thai/ Chinese cuisine. Very consistant,great flavors and reasonably priced. Inside is clean, nothing spectacular, but the food is great.

Diner Review №66

Love this place. The family that runs it and the Pineapple Curry with Chicken. When my SB peeps come to town? This is where we go for Thai. They are impressed with the quality, quantity, and price. Through them I’ve sampled most everything. YUMMMM.

Diner Review №67

Amazing food!!!

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №69

The staff is always accommodating to adjust the items on the menu.

Diner Review №70

The food is always delicious. One meal is enough for two people to split. Its reasonably priced. I typical order for pick up and its always ready within 30 min of ordering. Sometimes the phone line is busy in during peak meal times, but I can get through after 15 min. Always worth the wait.

Diner Review №71

Great food. I wish they still had egg foo young, but still good food. Worth the effort.

Diner Review №72

I was placed on hold and listened to the person who put me on hold take orders from other people for 18 minutes. I finally hung up, tried calling back and the call would not go through. I understand being busy, but if your not going to accept phone orders just say that! Don't put people on hold for an indefinite amount of time.

I finally got someone on the phone, ordered, and the food was 100% so I have updated to 4 stars.

Diner Review №73

Great service. Everything was quick and easy. The food is so tasty. I was in Lompoc for work and I went here twice =D.

Diner Review №74

I got the beef tenderloin pho. Broth and meat were good quality. Fast service, reasonable price, and good portions. Great overall

Diner Review №75

I've been to this restaurant a few times as it has been recommended a lot. And I am thrilled that I went! I ordered a glass noodle/chicken dish (no spice) & it was amazing! It has peanuts & cashews in it & even though I don't like cashews, I ate every one. I crave this dish constantly. The flavors were amazing! My husband got a flat noodle dish with shrimp, pork & chicken & next time I'm getting that! This is definitely a restaurant where you want to try lots of different things because it's all good. Big portions too. Good for late night snacking! This is now my favorite restaurant in Lompoc!

Diner Review №76

Diner Review №77

I usually love coming here for orange chicken and never had any complaints. Now its been 3 times i order for pick up and they never give me a freakin fork, spoon, bamboo sticks or anything to eat it with! I had to rip cardboard edges from the rice box they give you in order to eat it today at the park which was my next destination after picking up my food before I realized i had no fork!! Put forks on every order!!! Its obvious you need something to eat with. Ask for utensils, if you guys do read this!

Diner Review №80

If your friend told you to try it...just come here already.

Even after a year, the food still clears my senses, and I only got spicy. This place also has good pho but come hungry for it. It a small place so no more than 30 people if I guess.

Diner Review №81

Don't recommend.

Diner Review №82

My family and I love this place. Food taste delicious and always fresh. Friendly and helpful staff. Recommend!

Diner Review №83

Okay, dont get those crab ragoons… more for me 😈

Diner Review №84

Food was amazing! The service was quick and I was able to get my food pretty quick. I came to this resturant on the recommendation of a friend and they did not steer me wrong. If you are looking for some good Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese food this the place for you. Would definitely recommend this place. I will definitely be making a trip back to this place before I head back to Colorado.

Diner Review №85

Food is always delicious 😋

Diner Review №86

Pleasantly surprised! After a few disappointments, we stop visiting. I'm glad to say our recent visit reignite our enjoying dining here. The food was on point and service was good to go! Prices have increased, but typical of everything nowadays. Will be adding Susan's back into our dining rotation 👍.

Diner Review №87

I really wanted to like this place.
But as a lover of Thai food, nothing was recognizable. The best description I can come up with is pre-made frozen cafeteria food.

I had the Yellow Curry Shrimp Thai Spicy! Superb, delicious, amazing food. The service was impeccable. The cashier was pleasant. The establishment was clean and well kept. My friend had the Kung Pao chicken. We finished it all. If I return to Lompoc, I will definitely come back.

Diner Review №92

King pao tofu. My favorite. So happy that they can make many dishes vegan. I eat here very frequently, always good!

Diner Review №93

Fantastic "hole in the wall" Thai Laotian restaurant. Superb curry!

Diner Review №94

Really good Pho, I eat here often, I spent a month in Thailand and the Thai dishes are comparable to the local cuisine I had there. can't say much about the chinese dishes because I haven't tried them, but I would be they are pretty good.

Diner Review №95

Always good

Diner Review №96

Food quality was great, as one of my favorite places I was disappointed tonight, I ordered to go 2 pho with extra bean sprouts which i did not get and crab ragoon which I waited over an hour while I watched people who ordered way after me for dine in get their orders first. They were busy but why should to go orders be treated any different. Will be a while before I return.

Diner Review №97

Diner Review №98

Staff were friendly, but at first glance the restaurant does look clean but once you actually look at things you can tell it's messy! Especially underneath the tables they used paper towel to help make tables level, the windows are tinted very dark so people don't realize that they're dirty. the mango sticky rice was made fresh, the pho noodles were pre-cooked and they added the broth mix secondary
I said hello and thank you in both Thai & Vietnamese no response, only English,
The portions are medium to small they look big but accurately there's small especially the mango sticky rice
Beef pho A & fresh mango sticky rice & water ,( never received) Cost me about $20
Overall food presentation 8/10
Food quantity 5/10
Food quality 6/10
Staff friendliness /10
Restaurant cleanliness 3/10

Diner Review №99

Avoid what they call Pho here at all cost. Almost ruined me and my girlfriends love for our favorite food.

Diner Review №106

Food was great but for some reason they gave my order to someone else and I had to wait quite a while for my food.

Diner Review №107

I really love Suvans Pad Thai. The Pad Thai is flavorful and always fresh and hot. It is always loaded with vegetables and chicken. They give you plenty and they don't skimp on anything. They make my Thai Tea the way I like it with light ice and it always tastes wonderful. The wait time can be 15 to 30 minutes but it definitely is worth it!!!!Herb Home used to be my favorite Thai place but not anymore!!!!

Diner Review №115

Awesome food, great service

Diner Review №116

We eat here at least once a week, as much as 4 times a week. They have great Thai, Lao and Chinese. Yellow curry is excellent, orange chicken or tofu is great and the pad thai is great! Everything else has been great but those are our gotos!

Diner Review №117

Delicious!

Diner Review №118

Diner Review №119

They don’t answer their phone, or don’t know how to operate a phone either way pretty poor response for the only Thai restaurant open on mondays in Lompoc

Diner Review №120

Diner Review №121

Excellent menu and good prices. The food was tasty and portions were ample. The staff was friendly and the order was filled promptly. I recommend this food emporium even though they didn't have much of Laotian selection to choose from. The Thai selections were very flavorful.

Our experience could not have been better. The girl at the counter knew everything about the food and helped guide us vegans to the best choices. The food was absolutely outstanding and the service was impeccable. I wish I lived near Lompoc so I could come here everyday. What a gem in a sleepy little town. Thank y'all so much!

Diner Review №132

Good pad thai and good egg rolls

We loved their orange chicken, but the last time we got it, about a week ago, it was horrible. The chicken pieces were small and mushy and tasted so awful. So sad because it was one of our favorites. Won't be getting that again. Sad about that.

Bomb food. Probably what you're looking for. Would give 5 stars but they don't have the option to tip with card. If they change that I will change to 5 stars; because it's 2020 and I just don't carry cash anymore, and their workers are friendly, work fast, and deserve their tip.

Diner Review №162

Diner Review №163

Great flavor. Excellent price! Staff always pleasant

Diner Review №164

I love Suvans there food is authentic and the best! We love the orange chicken and the chow mein! It’s one of our go to spots for Chinese or any other Asian food in our area! It’s seriously like so good try it you won’t regret it!!

Diner Review №165

We get their Orange Chicken with Lo Mein noodles and it is to die for! A million times better than any take-out chain restaurant you'll visit. The chicken is crispy and full of flavor.

Diner Review №166

Diner Review №167

I was a little disappointed that my Pho wasn't quite right. There was a significant less amount of the meats and Pho broth on the bowl comparing to my previous visits. The fried rice was great! But I'm willing to go back and give them another try to confirm my experience.

Visited this establishment many times in the six years I was assigned to Vandenberg AFB and was NEVER once disappointed. Excellent food, reasonable price, and friendly staff compelled me to return often.

Diner Review №193

Great food but very slow service. Prices are also extremely high but considering they are the only decent asian restaurant in lompoc. If you plan on eating in then be patient.

Diner Review №194

Such amazing food and friendly service!! We come here everytime we visit Lompoc now. I highly recommend the pad thai and the yellow curry.

Diner Review №195

Diner Review №196

Great food and the only place I can get my favorite pho. Reasonable prices, though the drinks are expensive. Food, 5 stars, ambience, 2 stars, but I've never had to wait, even when the restaurant was busy. I'll definitely be back!
