Diner Review №1

First time trying Thai food, and it was one of the best experiences I've had with suggestions from the staff!

Diner Review №2

We had a great experience at A La Carte Thai Bistro! The food was delicious overall, but a couple of dishes could have been improved—the crispy pork came in small pieces, and the crispy wonton was a bit flat.

That said, the spicy fried rice and green curry were absolutely amazing, full of authentic flavors. The Thai iced tea was the best we’ve had, and the Singha beer was a perfect complement to the meal.

The service was excellent, attentive, and friendly, which added to the overall positive experience. Giving it 4 stars—definitely worth a visit!

Diner Review №3

This is probably the best Thai food I have tried in LA county area!! My mom fell in love with the food as well

Ordered a green curry on DoorDash & I was totally disappointed. $15 for this big bowl of rice, some tofus & bell peppers. What’s this? Why didnt you guys keep the curry separately? It’s not green curry I usually have. It looks so nice on the picture & what they really gave me. Please run your business with your morality.

Diner Review №7

Very delicious cuisines and friendly service! The atmosphere is calm and cozy, deserve a 5 star rating!

Diner Review №9

The PET and coconut chicken soup were fresh with great flavor. The chicken satay was fairly standard.

Diner Review №10

Curry did not come with rice.

Diner Review №11

Love this little Thai place. Service is always great! Everything I have there is great. I do have to mention they do a twist with their orange chicken. They use ground white meat chicken and make them into balls. Orange chicken balls. Different yet so yummy. Definitely recommend this place.

Diner Review №12

there was a bug in food. I wonder what is the hygiene level

Best on the block! And they serve Khao Soi!

Great spot with tasty food. We've tried much of the menu and it's all been fantastic and consistently good

The Khao Soi is really good and their noodle to broth to chicken ratio or perfect. It's got a slightly richer broth that's great on cooler winter nights

Great traditional Thai dishes....Satays, Tom Yum Soups, Pad See Ew, Curries, etc.....

Service is impeccable....everyone is very nice and super attentive

Best drunken noodles with fried tofu! So so good!

Diner Review №21

Eve-waitress- knows her menu well. Good attentiveness...super clean/orderly small restaurant. Fabulous delicately prepared Panang dishes!

Diner Review №22

Great casual thai place. We ordered for pick up. Fried rice and pad thai were both really delicious. The chicken wings were dry and lacking flavor. All over would recommend this spot!

Diner Review №23

This is one of our go to places for Thai food on the West side of town. We usually order the papaya salad, crab fried rice, pad se ew or the pad thai for sure and of course a Thai tea. The papaya salad is pretty good with lots of flavor with green beans cherry tomatoes and peanuts. A very refreshing dish. The Pad see ew is also very flavorful with lots of wok hei. My finance's favorite is the crab fried rice with lots of crab meat. The thai tea is a little bit on the sweet side. I always forget to tell them less sweet. We tried the chicken wings one sitting and didn't like it much so I will stay away from that. The coconut soup is good too with lots of flavor and lots of seafood. Other entrees we've tried is the spicy basil beef, it was just ok. The mango sticky rice is yummy as well which we if we have the room will order.

Service is always good which them checking up on us, refilling water and taking away dishes. They don't have a parking lot but they have metered parking or you can park for free on the residential streets nearby. We will be back.

Diner Review №24

Delicious both times we’ve come!

Diner Review №30

Visiting LA and staying near-by in a Airbnb and Thai Bistro was within walking distance. What a gem. Delicious food with just enough spice. We were the only eat in patrons at 7-8pm I a Wednesday night, although 6 door dash pick ups came in. So come on down and eat in.

Diner Review №31

Diner Review №32

Thoroughly underwhelming. Ordered a wrap with “salmon,” in it. By salmon they mean ‘a piece of salmon.’ Literally. A teaspoon. No kidding.

We paid $13 for lettuce.

Perhaps the name of the restaurant should be “lettuce surprise you,” as they certainly accomplished that?

The gentleman who answered the phone when I called to politely complain, informed me that “everything is more expensive now because of Covid.” I agree.. yet if I wanted lettuce by itself I’d have gone to Ralph’s.

Avoid this place.

What’s funny is an apology would have avoided this review.

Honestly bad karma here for them.

Diner Review №33

Diner Review №34

Very consistent for great salads and crab fried rice. Been going for years.

Diner Review №35

My boyfriend and I ate here on a whim, and it turned out to be some of the best Thai food we’ve ever had in LA! Highly recommend!!

Diner Review №36

The food was fine but not good or great. Spicy fried rice was the tastiest thing we ordered. The orange chicken is a ground chicken meatball in a very gelatinous sauce (a must skip). Tom Kha soup was thin/weak. Spring rolls were nothing to write home about.
This is a one and done for me.

Diner Review №37

This was the first time my wife and I ordered from this restaurant and we don't usually write reviews.
I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. The food is delicious and we asked for very spicy and that's what we received. Not in a bad way. The food was spicy with flavor and everything looked and tasted fresh.
Thank you A La Carte Thai Bistro!
We will be ordering again.

Diner Review №38

Very very good food. I really enjoyed it!

Super authentic and the man helping us with the orders is super polite and very friendly.

I will come back, and I recommend you try this place!

Best Thai food in LA I’ve had :)

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №44

Fantastic. We order from them OFTEN and they never disappoint. We came in late in the evening and they stayed open long enough for us to order to-go. Very easily could have turned us away. And I have worked in the food industry... it SUCKS when people come in close to closing time. They were so unbelievably kind. THANK YOU A La Carte,, Kate, and all staff working on 8-5-21!!

This is a favorite casual days spot for my girlfriend and me. There's a wonderful "everything is OK" vibe to the place. The portions are not too big and not too small. Service is fast and friendly.

The food here is so good!

Diner Review №82

I have tried this place a few times because we had a friend rave about it saying its the best they every tasted.

After some bad experiences we came in with our family and ate there. Its gotten a bit better but lacked some flavor and punch. Felt pretty mild in the flavor department.

Im still on the hunt for a good thai food place on the westside. Real thai food is very flavorful and some times a bit spicy.

The ambiance in this place is nice. I think they need to kick it up a notch in the food department.

Diner Review №83

yummy, pricy, excellent service

Diner Review №84

Food is fresh and spiced well, but extremely greasy/oily.

Diner Review №85

Diner Review №86

Very nice place and their specials are so cheap

Diner Review №87

Thai Food is great BUT this is the worst! Last lunch takeout -cashew chicken was swimming in soy sauce, meat was old/hard, nuts were soggy. I called, lady with heavy accent hung up. Spend money elsewhere, this is the worst experince!!

Diner Review №88

Food was really good, service wasn’t. The lady who served me just stared at me eat the whole time. And her attitude was dry. Luckily they serve beer, so after my third one I didn’t care.

Diner Review №89

Wow!

Atmosphere, location decoration, music and above all, food, excelent. We ordered pad see ew and pad thai. Awesomely incredible. The two best ever. If there were more stars, they'd get them. Definitely a spot to return.

Diner Review №90

Diner Review №91

Yellow curry with chicken lunch special is a go to. Very tasty and reasonably priced. Super quick too. If you’re in the area and craving Thai, it will hit the spot. Dining in or to-go are both good options.

Good price and very delicious.

Diner Review №97

The food is great and the service is amazing! They make you feel right at home! They're typically full so I recommend getting there before 8:30. The coconut chicken soup is my favorite. The mango rice was so delicious and I'm going to be back!

Diner Review №98

Great Thai Fried Rice. Staff is always extremely friendly. My boy and I always come here when it's dad/son day out.

Diner Review №103

Loved this Thai place. We had reached just in time before closing for lunch time. But the staff was warm and welcoming. The food was delicious as well. The spice level was just as I like it. I had also tried the green curry fried rice. I had seen this recipe online but had not seen in many restaurants. Liked the way it was prepared here.

Diner Review №109

The food was delicious and the service was friendly. However when I got the check I had a few surprises. If you order brown rice they should tell you it's $2 extra. Most restaurants include that choice for free so one does not think to ask. Also I asked for half shrimp half tofu and they charged $2 to add tofu.

So a lunch originally $12...upcharged to $17 without telling me of the additional costs ahead of time. Not cool. Totally did not appreciate that.

Diner Review №110

It's hard to find a place that has kow soi and it's phenomenal here! Haven't had it as good since being in Thailand!

Diner Review №111

Poor service by arrogant server. Taste was average.

Diner Review №112

Loved their A la carte menu!!

Diner Review №115

Good food, good prices and cute waitress 😍😍😍 my new go-to lunch spot.

Diner Review №116

Diner Review №117

Comfort food, a somewhat cold interior (both literally and in terms of atmosphere), along side the handful of other diners comes together to give a fairly private experience.

Recommend the Beef Pad Thai and Crab Fried Rice.

Diner Review №118

Diner Review №119

I like this place. The food is good and the service is quick and always positive. The one drawback I have is the lights when dining in the evening. It could just be me but I’d like a bit more light around. Other than that it’s an overall good establishment.

Tried different things. All with tofu. was amazing and up to the mark. I liked their tofu quality. You should try. I wish they serve halal meat.

Diner Review №123

Diner Review №125

Diner Review №126

A nice quiet place to enjoy very good Thai food. Chicken fried rice, orange chicken, shrimp salad, wonton soup, chow mein, coconut ice cream, and mango sticky rice were ALL amazing!!

Diner Review №127

Fantastic service by professional waitress! Check this place out :)

Diner Review №128

I live a few blocks away and eat here all the time (and have since they opened). The food is consistently delicious, the prices are reasonable and they are always friendly. I usually take out, but I enjoy eating in also. The decor is nice the the food looks beautiful when it comes out. Pro tip: when they are busy, give them an extra 10 minutes on the pick up time for take out =)

Diner Review №129

I LOVED the Khao Soi, so tasty! The combination of flavors and heat are just right, creating a truly satisfying meal.

Diner Review №130

Diner Review №131

It's surprisingly difficult to find good Thai Food in Los Angeles, but this place is my new favorite. The ingredients seem fresh, the flavors are great, the atmosphere is pleasant, and I feel physically good after eating the food. With respect to feeling good, there's an absence of lethargy and general malaise that can sometimes happen after eating out. The green papaya salad and the pumpkin curry are great. The pumpkin curry even makes Tofu taste good. My only negative might be that I wish they would make the old school Thai Iced coffee with strong dark coffee and sweetened condensed milk. I think a lot of Thai restaurants are now buying some kind of mix because this is not the first place I've had this new version.

Diner Review №135

Good value and food.

Diner Review №136

I really like their panang curry with soft tofu. One of my favorite soups is their tofu and veggie soup. In all honesty though, I like many more items. There's just too many to list.

Diner Review №137

This place is awesome. The ingredients are high quality and the food is well-prepared.

It's our first visit to this local Thai restaurant. We will surely go back again...Often! The food was excellent and the service was a very pleasant young lady. The Establishment was very clean and quiet. We are very pleased to have enjoyed the experience.

Diner Review №141

Ordered food ahead here once and it was ready by the time I get there. Pretty fast! Price is okay.

Diner Review №142

The food and service is great.

Diner Review №143

Pretty good standard thai food. I think its probably the best on in this neighborhood.

Diner Review №144

Green Curry and Pad Thai were good.

Diner Review №145

Great Thai food and very friendly service! Panang curry with rice is delicious!!

Diner Review №146

Great Thai food at a very good price. Service is fast and friendly.

Diner Review №147

Diner Review №148

Food is ok, service is good, small portions, prices are high.

Came here for dinner one night because I was craving some serious Thai food. The restaurant was not busy on a friday night so we got a table right away. We ordered the Chicken Lard salad, the green curry and the Tom Yum soup. The soup came out right away and it was very watery, chicken was very hard and bland - 1 star, do NOT order. The lard salad was good with minced ground chicken served with 3 pieces of romaine lettuce - 3 stars. The green curry $10, does not include rice, so you have to order and pay for that extra. The curry was good but had a bit too much sugar in it, so it was rather sweet. Service was nice.

Bathrooms are clean and street parking was very easy to find.

Diner Review №149

We tried their spicy seafood soup and special garlic wings.

Everything tasted delicious

Diner Review №150

A great place for Thai Food !!

I tried Pad Thai and Yellow Curry it was very Yummy . Best Thai food .

Diner Review №152

Diner Review №153

Great Thai food and reasonable prices. The food is very tasty. This fried rice is the best. This place has a great low-key atmosphere and surprisingly nice decor. The parking is a little bit limited - but it always is in LA. Try parking around back of the building first

Diner Review №154

Love A-La-Carte Thai. Always good quantity, serene atmosphere, great customer service and tasty vittles!

Diner Review №155

Good place for good thai! Love the red chicken curry and Thai iced tea. Friendly service too!

Diner Review №156

Very nice lunch we have we passed by many times cross section Washington & central st that's why we never see it restaurant is very cleaned

Diner Review №157

Fast service, and good food. I usually order the Pad Thai and Yellow Curry. I can order it when I leave work and pick it up on my way home. The staff is very nice and the pricing is pretty good too.

Diner Review №161

Not a fan of Thai food or Asian cuisine, so this place doesn't work well with me. What I will say is this place has some great garlic wings! If you like Thai, you may want to check it out because they have a ton of options with decent prices. Overall, I only get their garlic wings and they are pretty good every time.

Diner Review №162

This is a new Thai restaurant in the area. The concept is pretty great since you order things ala cart. However I felt the portions were not as large as the normal Thai offerings around the neighborhood. Flavor and quality was spot on. If only they made a portions a little larger I would then come again.
