We had 10 people over and everyone kept asking me where I got the food, they loved it!

Diner Review №2

Neighborhood gem!

Diner Review №3

This little spot serves some of the best authentic Thai food in LA. Their Isaan sausage is without comparison. The naam tok, the Green and Yellow curries are some of the best I've ever had.

Diner Review №4

A very cute place with delicious and affordable thai food! 😋 a great place for a date since it feels very intimate.

Diner Review №5

Very delicious Thai food and I loved the service

Diner Review №6

Diner Review №7

My favorite Thai restaurant in all of LA. The staff here are so friendly and welcoming.

Diner Review №8

Local Thai place. Very affordable and stands out among all the other ones on Westwood. Really easy for pick up & nice to dine in, as well.

Diner Review №9

Best Thai in LA!! This is a beautiful, petite, family owned restaurant. The food and drinks are authentically delicious. I’ve had a little bit of everything more than once. I enjoy taking a trip across town to pick up the food and say thank you to the family in person. If you live in town or are just visiting, this is the perfect dinner date spot, that also serves a great take-home meal.

duck fried rice still good since 20 years ago

Diner Review №12

Terrible food terrible service Very dirty restaurant dirty floor, dirty table disgusting food, disgusting people working there I do not recommend this place to no one

Diner Review №13

A good Thai restaurant with a few vegetarian/vegan options.

Google recommended this place as a Vegan restaurant, but it only has a few Vegan options on the menu.

Enjoyed the Tom-Kha soup bowl for the family. Soup is well made and very tasty though it felt like it was watered down a little.

The Red Curry with white rice is pretty good tasting. Enjoyed both the dishes asking with the authentic Thai Milk Tea. It's really rare to see real authentic and non-Americanized Thai milk tea nowadays. Glad to have a good tasting Thai milk tea.

The service is very genuine, courteous and friendly.

The place is small with only four tables inside and a couple of makeshift tables outside. The furniture and memorabilia reminds me of older and bygone times. It's even decorated with a real Vespa scooter itself. Pretty cool!!!

Diner Review №14

Very good Thai food. This restaurant enjoys an excellent price-quality ratio.

Diner Review №15

One of my favorite Thai restaurants in LA. I highly recommend ordering the kapaow with ground chicken and the massaman curry. The curry has braised beef which is really tender and very favorable. The place is really small with only a few tables but has an amazing, cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend checking this place out.

Diner Review №17

I forgot to take pictures of our soup, but it was very delicious. We loved the food. They just need to improve the service a bit. Overall it is a nice place. I will be back

Diner Review №18

Diner Review №19

This place was great! I got the yellow curry and my mom got the pad Thai. Spices were perfect, food was fresh, place was clean, and the staff was very nice. We would go back!

Diner Review №20

Cute and quaint. Definitely a vibe. Owner is super sweet and very attentive. Authentic experience.

Diner Review №21

Diner Review №22

Diner Review №23

Toooooo good. Pad see ew, pad thai, yellow curry, and mango sticky rice were amazing!

Diner Review №24

I had the Pad-See-Ew (flat rice noodles stir-fried with egg in sweet soy sauce and Chinese broccoli), which was delicious. Their Thai iced tea is also refreshing. The service is friendly, and it appears family-owned. Prices are super reasonable. Although the restaurant is small, with only about 4-5 tables inside and a couple of tables outside, and the parking lot is tiny with limited spaces, it's worth the visit. The name "Fresh" is well represented by the food quality. Despite not living near Westwood, I'll be coming back again whenever I'm in the area.

Diner Review №25

Diner Review №26

I hardly ate any. It was too awful. I've never eaten anything this bad before.

Diner Review №27

Holy smokes my wife and I loved this place. It is literally a whole in the wall, but they have done so much with their tiny space. So friendly, and experienced the best slow roast beef panang curry we have ever had. Spicy noodle were on point, and fresh rolls were delicious too. Just go, don't think anymore!

Diner Review №28

Quaint cafe. Super cozy and perfect for small parties. We got the last inside table and were served quickly (there are only 6 small tables inside and 2 outside). Ordered the satay chicken and coconut shrimp for appetizers. Came out quick and hot. The massaman curry and yellow curry dishes were the best I've had. Dishes imcluded rice. Service was fast and friendly. There were only 2 people working, but that didn't stop the quality or speed with which we got our food. Would definitely recommend.

Diner Review №29

Great food, a pleasant and cozy atmosphere, good service, and a good cost. Definitely worth checking out.

Diner Review №30

Foods ok but the lady up front has the nastiest attitude! I changed my mind and wanted to eat my food there instead of take out and she rolled her eyes and didn’t say a word to me. I then asked for silverware and she acted like it was such an inconvenience. I told her she had a bad attitude and she smirked. Such a shame because I liked this place but will no longer eat here

Diner Review №31

Delicious. Highly knowledgeable about gluten-free options.

Diner Review №32

This is excellent Thai restaurant. I will be back.

Diner Review №33

Delicious food, cute vibe, and attentive service. Four of us had the coconut shrimp, pineapple curry with pork, guay teow tom yum, the pad kee mao with chicken, and the guay teow ped. We will definitely be back.

Diner Review №34

A very quaint place with authentic food! I had the pad see ew and the portion was a little small, though it was still a good deal for the price.

Diner Review №35

Ordered to go over the phone was great, but the pickup wasn't that smooth. It looked like there's only me who came for to-go at that moment, so the lady at the counter greeted me with my name right away, and handed me the receipts to sign and pay. However, I had to spot my order myself, I then asked if I can have chopstick, she said "well, there's already fork!" and unwillingly gave me chopstick.
The Pad See Ew is a little bit too salty to my taste.

Diner Review №36

Palm juice to get your taste buds flowing. Tom Yum soup with a side of rice to add/dunk inside it. Padwoon sen, pad see ew as the main dish with choice of protein. Thank me later.

Diner Review №37

Incredibly nice staff, let us order late very late into the night and were very understanding.

Diner Review №38

The people here are so nice! We showed up very late and they were gracious about taking our order. Then, we ordered a Thai Iced Tea when they had already shut down the card machine and we didn’t have cash, so she just gave it to us for free. Amazing place, would come again for sure!!

Diner Review №39

Diner Review №40

Phenomenal food! Fantastic service. The curries were amazing.

Diner Review №41

Cozy and cute little spot in west LA. The owners are really nice and the food is delicious. I had rice noodles and they tasted great! I strongly recommend trying them for a quick and yummy lunch or dinner.

Diner Review №42

We needed some fast takeout and they certainly delivered that. We got the drunken noodles and some fried rice. It was good, but it lacked a bit of the complexity of flavor that I've had at other thai places. But overall good spot for good service and reasonable prices if you are in the area

Diner Review №43

Easy quick flavorful Thai, perfect for a Sunday afternoon late lunch. Excellent really nice service. Spicy medium so let them know if you want less heat.

Diner Review №44

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

Fantastic service and great food!

Diner Review №47

Really good food

Diner Review №48

A tiny restaurant. Owners are very sweet. Green chicken curry, shrimp vegetable medley were good however i would not recommend the barbecue chicken. Rubbery and dry and comes with only a tiny bit of hot and sour sauce. Definitely not good. Hope they do something about that or take it off the menu as it really doesn’t fit. I would recommend this restaurant but not this chicken plate.

Diner Review №49

Very cramped and bad service. Dishes didn't look that clean. Water had stuff in them. Food was decent. Don't recommend if you don't like bad service or cramped spaces and tables.

Diner Review №50

Super cute spot with insanely good Thai food. I highly recommend the Panang curry with beef

Diner Review №51

Amazing food. Go for the Tiger. Go for the Tom Yum w/ shrimp. Spicy noodles da bomb. Will be back.

Diner Review №52

This place is such a hidden gem! The food is delicious, full of variety, and is reasonably priced. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food and the staff are extremely friendly. The decore is the cherry on top! Definitely recommend.

Diner Review №53

Amazing food. Feels home cooked and we feel always very welcome every time we go (been going there for a few years now)

Diner Review №54

One of my favorite restaurants for take out in the area. The coconut shrimp and Tom kha are some great of my all time favorites. Their curries and noodle dishes also never disappoint!

Diner Review №55

Delicious thai food in an eclectically decorated restaurant served with love. The owner is so nice that I feel like I'm visiting an aunt who cooks really well. Only downside is that parking can be a challenge and seating is limited but the food is well worth any hassle - especially the green papaya salad and curry.

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

Went for a dinner with family. The food and service was amazing. It was probably one of the most delicious rice noodles I had. I also had Thai iced tea which was ok not so great. Will definitely try other things on the menu.

Diner Review №58

3.5 *** is more appropriate. Decent food. Friendly service. Good neighborhood Thai restaurant. Will order take out again.

Diner Review №59

Nice cozy small restaurant, most likely family owned, amazing food and the Thai iced tea was the best. Excellent service. Wish we lived close by to this place, would go every chance we got.

Diner Review №62

We loved the Pad Thai of various spiciness, papaya salad, and delicious Thai iced coffee

Diner Review №63

Amazing food fresh and tasty ingredients very reasonable prices

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

Eh... not great. Got the yellow curry. Curry was watery. Potato was undercooked. Sauce not that tasty. Price was expensive for what it was

Diner Review №66

Service is very bad , sitting area not clean

Diner Review №67

pad kee mao 처음 먹어봤는데 적당히 매콤하고 맛있었어요!

Diner Review №68

Devine food! A whole in the wall but very sumptuous! Fried crab rice and green curry coconut chicken with brown rice! Yummy 😋

Diner Review №69

Really nice little place, friendly and very quick service, and great food! We found it accidentally and did not regret

Diner Review №70

I’ve ordered the pad kee mao multiple times and specifically confirmed that it didn’t have fish or oyster sauce - I was impressed that they did this because this is a big issue at Thai restaurants. Today I found out that they have been adding oyster sauce to the noodles the whole time despite telling me that they weren’t. Try at your own risk as a vegetarian.

Diner Review №71

Very good food

Diner Review №72

My absolute favorite Thai place . Tom Yum soup and Larb salad are my faves but everything I’ve had here is excellent. The service is impeccable and the parking is easy . If I could give them more stars I would . Highly recommend

Diner Review №73

Simply very very unfriendly. I understand why some reviews were bad. The woman appeared to be the owner, not very pleasant. I will definitely not going back.

Diner Review №74

The food here is always great! My favorite is the yellow curry and my partner loves the padse eew. We also always get the crab Rangoon which is delicious.

I call in for take out. The place is tiny but they are always fast and nice when I go in to pick up my order. Parking is kinda crazy, it's a super tiny lot with metered parking on Westwood.

Definitely recommend and will continue to come back for more, the Thai iced tea and mango sticky rice are also must haves!

Diner Review №75

This place is quite the hidden gem.

The atmosphere is quaint, limited seating, as well as parking, so plan accordingly because the place does get busy.

Service was first class, our server was very knowledgeable and kind. Provided great recommendations and super attentive.

The food is amazing . Was told that their dishes are all made from scratch and you can definitely tell they were. The chicken dumplings were amazing and the main dishes were very good. The spice levels were just right not too much not too little. I had the panang curry with beef and the beef was very tender and the curry sauce was delicious.

Overall I highly recommend checking this place out if you are looking for good Thai food.

Diner Review №76

We had Tom Yum and Pad See Ew. Food was delicious. Great service. Cute place. Will definitely return to try other dishes.

Diner Review №77

Great Thai food! It is harder and harder to find great Thai food but this place has it! The Curries and noodles are fantastic.

Diner Review №78

Best massaman curry I’ve ever eaten.

Diner Review №79

I have ordered from here for delivery many times over the past few years and the food has always been excellent! Yesterday, I finally had the privilege of visiting in person. Thai Fresh Cafe has such a welcoming and cozy vibe. There are only a few tables but the service is quick and friendly. The parking isnt ideal but what can you expect in the Westwood area. I love this place and it is the best Thai food I've found since being in LA!

Diner Review №80

Everything seemed really fresh and good quality. The chicken was fresh, you can tell by the texture and it wasn't buried in sauce to hide it.

Diner Review №81

Restaurant is so cute! Thai tea with almond milk was so good!!! Food is amazing!! Authentic Thai food

Diner Review №82

These reviews have to be fake. Says it's a place for curry. I ordered a classic chicken curry and it was the most bland and watery curry I've ever had, had to be the worst Thai curry imaginable. No way this is the highest ranked Thai in the area...

Diner Review №83

Welcoming little place with friendly service. The food was good. Khao Soy was generously portioned. Recommend if you're in the area

Diner Review №84

I had Penang curry. The beef was cooked to perfection and the juice was very flavorful.

Diner Review №85

They make you sit at the table that they want together with other diners, that you don't even know, without the slightest privacy, and if you tell them I want this table they don't give it to you for that detail and their way of responding gets 1 star

Te hacen sentarte en la mesa que ellos quieren junto a otros comensales, que ni conoces, sin la menor privacidad, y si les dice quiero esta mesa no te la dan por ese detalle y su manera de responder obtienen 1 estrella

Diner Review №86

I have never left a google review before because I am lazy, but I had to for Thai Fresh Cafe!!
My partner and I went to dinner here on Mothers Day. The server was such a kind woman and the food was delicious. We ordered fresh spring rolls which they made with tofu for us the basil in them was so refreshing. We ordered the thai ice tea and they had an almond milk option which was really tasty! I had the crab noodles which I had never tried before and really enjoyed it. We also liked the decorations and the cozy peaceful space.
On our way out I left my purse on the back of the chair and we live in San Luis Obispo, so after calling the restaurant, the owner was so kind and mailed it to me!
Over all such a wonderful experience I had to leave a review!!

Diner Review №87

Diner Review №88

Came here on a Saturday night. They were busy but the service is just way out of line bad. And having a busy day is not enough to justify it. WORST experience EVER. Will not come again.

Ordered a pork toro and the lady said it’ll take a long time and recommend me to switch to another dish. Instead of giving me time to rethink my dish, she was just pushing me to decide anything random and better be fast. She stood beside me and impolitely ask me to decide every 5 second with strong attitudes and flipped eyes.

Recommend to come If you seek sufferings. Otherwise I suggest you don’t!

Diner Review №89

Diner Review №90

You guys have to be joking in these reviews when you say this is the best Thai in west LA… the name is so ironically funny because this was far from fresh; quite dry and flavorless in fact. I was so excited because of all the Yelp praise, but what a disappointment. Order was also wrong and we didn’t receive the one item we were most excited about. I understand going for a quick bite, but for $60 for three items, the quality should be significantly better than what we received.

Diner Review №91

I’m first time dinning in this restaurant because it’s 4.6 in Google. I noticed there’s some bad review about worse service for this Thai restaurant. I assume food can make up everything. However, it’s way worse than I can imaging. We were group of 8 people. First of all, she didn’t give us water after we sat down for awhile. When we asked for water, she asked me back with impatient tone: for everyone?! Excuse me? Should we share a cup of water in your restaurant? Secondary, we want to share food so we can try everything. When we ask her how big of the portion, she looked at me inexplicably and said just for one person. I understand it’s for one persons. But I’m wondering how big of the noodle so we should order 2 or 3 for sharing. I asked her nicely again with hand sign. Is good for one person like this size or bigger, smaller? She still said same thing: it’s good for one person. I was really speechless. Third, every time when she drop off food, she was just standing there and holding food. She’s waiting us to clean the table FOR HER. God, shouldn’t you clean the table before you delivery food out? We had 8 people to share soup. She just gave us 5 bowls. I guess this restaurant really want their customers to share setting. During the whole time, the service was talking to the kitchen, never ask us How’s everything. I hear she mention our order. I’m wondering was she talking us with kitchen. Seriously, I really want to leave if I was not with kids. They were too hungry. Food was actually just ok. It was not bad. But I’ll never come back again bc service was terrible. At the end our bill comes out $165 and everyone were still hungry. The lady also mandatory charged us 18%.

Diner Review №92

Diner Review №93

The Khao Soy Jai was amazing! Never has something like that before. The waitress recommended it and she was incredibly nice the whole time too.

Diner Review №94

This is the best Thai food I've ever had! The owner is so friendly, the food is always hot and delicious, and service is quick. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu: pad Thai, pad kee mao, panang curry, and the crab rangoons are all amazing! Leaving LA, this is the place I will miss the most!

Diner Review №95

Can’t beat the price especially in La and the flavor is on point. I don’t give five stars often but when I do…. Well you should eat there I’m picky main

Diner Review №96

Really bad service and small portion. Flavor is decent but will never go again

Diner Review №97

Love this place! Amazing food, friendly service, and if you eat at the restaurant, it's a lovely vibe for a date night or something. Reasonably priced and wonderful tasting.

Diner Review №98

This is some of the best Thai food I have ever had. Seriously. The red curry is my favorite. Can’t go wrong.

Diner Review №99

Amazing curry, and rice dishes in general. Service is consistently good, and the place itself is a quiet, comfy, homey vibe.

Diner Review №100

Delicious food! Excellent service! 5*

Diner Review №101

Fresh and delicious every time!

Diner Review №102

Diner Review №103

This place has a horrible service. The south Asian waitress was very nice in the beginning. Then she just shushed me when I and my friend were chatting which I believe I was not that loud. She also kept checking on us to see if we finished our meal and if we were ready to pay. She came to collect the check by using an excuse of serving us some water. Ironically, she didn’t even have my friend’s glass filled. It felt so terrible when she could have done this in a totally different way. It felt like we were so unwelcome in this restaurant.

Diner Review №104

I could give this place 0 star if I could. Don’t get me wrong, the food was delicious, but the service, especially the south asian lady with blond hair, was out-of-the-world rude.
She was friendly in the beginning, but her attitude flipped a total 180 degrees after she got her generous tips from us. Not only did her shush us from talking, she snatched the tip while we were still on the table. Then basically kicked us out by saying, “you’ve been here long enough! Can you guys leave now?”

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

Loved the Pumpkin curry with chicken. Side salad was a generous portion.

Diner Review №107

Great Thai food in a cozy shop.

Diner Review №116

Diner Review №117

I had a tofu Red Curry for dinner, which comes with rice on the side, and it was delicious, a very rich flavour! Friendly staff and nice location

Diner Review №118

No me gusto el servicio ni la atención que nos dieron a mi amiga y a mi. Era la primera vez que entrábamos al lugar y no había disposición para resolver mis dudas sobre el menú. La persona que nos atendió no tiene idea de customer services. Por ende, no quise dar tip ni propina (nada) y cuando llegue a casa me di cuenta que me habían cobrado el 20% sobre mi cuenta total! Una falta de respeto!

Diner Review №119

Diner Review №120

Adorable little Thai place with really good Thai food. Great ambiance and even better food.

Diner Review №121

Diner Review №122

If you don’t mind a bad attitude and dry personality then try this place. Portions are small but decent tasting. Bathroom not working and when you ask, where to go, they suggest gas station. I’m not going back.

Diner Review №123

I’ve been going to Thai Fresh for over a year now, and I have to say I’ve never been disappointed. I usually take it to go and eat it at work. It’s quickly become a favorite lunch option at my office!

My recommendations:

Pad Thai - You can’t go wrong with this. If you want to mix it up, then give the crab noodles a try. All their noodle dishes are large portions and very filling.

Panang Curry - This is by far my favorite curry at this location. The brisket is tender and the curry is creamy and packed with flavor. I like pairing this with roti or sticky rice.

Guay Teow Ped - I tried this one today and it was delicious. It’s a duck noodle soup with a sweet and savory broth.

The restaurant itself is small and intimate. Would not recommend going in a large group, but it’s great for a party of two.

If want a new Thai restaurant in your rotation, then Thai Fresh is worth a try!

Diner Review №124

Such good food and great service at a very reasonable price!

Diner Review №125

Great place, nice atmosphere and super friendly staff!

Diner Review №126

Diner Review №127

Excellent food! Our host was so kind and attentive. We sat outside at the cute little patio because the indoors was full, but we were served very quickly.

Diner Review №128

Very bad . 15$ for a fried rice .. hardly any tofu in there .. these places take advantage of your money .. never order here again !

Diner Review №129

Diner Review №130

What an amazing place.
Its reaaaaallly good. Fried rice pineapple and pad thai are the best.
100 % recommended 👍👍👍

Diner Review №131

האוכל טוב (מנות קטנות) שיפודי חזה עוף היו לנו יבשים..
אווירה ביתית נחמדה .

Diner Review №132

Very friendly owner and delicious authentic Thai food served here :) price is pretty low compared to other expensive restaurant. When you order sth here, ask server or owner what's the best/popular menus from customers. The restaurant is petite but interior is pretty 😍

Diner Review №133

Amazing food! Stellar service. The pad Thai is to die for!

Diner Review №134

Got food to go from here and it was sooo good. The pad Thai and khao soy were great and the crab Rangoon was good as well. Everyone there was really friendly and helpful as well. Will deff be my go-to from now on.

Diner Review №135

Diner Review №136

Thai bistro with tasteful food.

Diner Review №137

Diner Review №138

Diner Review №139

I give 5 stars for amazing service, but food I tried (I ordered 3 dishes) would only get 3-4 stars (on my taste).
The main dish, Kra Tiem with beef, was very over salted, I was not able to finish it. Tom Yum was good. Crab Rangoon was ok.
The waiter who worked that night was soo good, I really felt welcome. I appreciate his attentive service and he totally deserves 5 stars.
This cafe is really busy though, they are receiving to-go and delivery orders non stop. Parking is right in front, plenty of meter parking available on Westwood blvd.

Diner Review №140

Hands down the best Thai food I've ever had. The place is very cosy and small with outdoor seating. I highly recommend this place 5 stars.

Diner Review №141

Excellent

Diner Review №142

You will love the drunken noodles and the parang curry here. It’s so full of flavor and the staff here are very sweet.

Diner Review №143

Thai tea was authentic and tasted freshly brewed. Chicken Pad Thai was tasty, not the best I’ve ever had, but still delicious. Will try the yellow curry next

Diner Review №144

Not fancy but very good food!! Parking is pretty easy in the front or on Westwood Blvd. Great hours, delivery and friendly service. Thom kha soup saved our lives during covid and was the only thing we could taste. I also love the mango and sticky rice. 🥭 🍚

Diner Review №145

BEST PAD THAI EVER

Diner Review №146

The pad see ew is delicious and the inside atmosphere is so cozy, perfect for a night with friends or a date. Sweet spot!

Diner Review №147

Amazing wood, wonderful service i just love this place !!! I think the soup is the best tom Khi i ever had ! Thank you 😊

Diner Review №148

The owner came to me and asked me my vaccination card. After I showed her my card, she stood for a moment and asked me my id. Just to make sure it’s my card actually. Felt really humiliating. I stayed for lunch, but wish I haven’t.

Diner Review №149

Very friendly and immediate service.
Was asked to show my vaccination card if I wanted to dine inside. I appreciate that. I didn't have mine with me at the time so I dined outside.
Attentive service and the Pad Thai was very tasty.

Diner Review №150

Diner Review №151

Very good prices for the area and great food--I loved the drunken noodles, fried rice, and curry. Pad thai wasn't the best thing on the table, but still not terrible. Staff are friendly and it's not impossible to find parking in the vicinity. If you live in the area, definitely consider coming here if you want Thai food. Also take note: it looks like it gets really busy for dine-in, so call ahead or expect to wait a bit for a table (the restaurant is small).

Diner Review №152

One of the best Thai places I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating at. The food is PHENOMENAL. I have not tried a Thai place as fresh as this one!

Diner Review №153

Went to the Thai Fresh Cafe yesterday October 19th, 2021 with one of my friends. Small location tucked away off Westwood Boulevard. Indoor and outdoor dining available in a casual setting. Food was very delicious with good portions and a good selection of rice, noodle and soup dishes among other items on the menu. Because of small parking lot parking can be a very limited but definitely worth a visit.

Diner Review №154

Very nice place, small and cozy. Good food and prices

Diner Review №155

Someone in the kitchen really knows sauces!
This is a cozy mom and pop place that really delivers on flavors and freshness. We were in the neighborhood and needed a quick place to eat. We googled best restaurants near me and found this place.
We ordered the papaya salad which was fresh and just the right amount of spice. We had the fresh rolls with rice paper and veggies inside. The accompanying house dipping sauce was terrific. Similar to a peanut sauce but better.
For the main course I had chicken and veggies in a light garlic sauce, which was super delicious. But the best dish was the Pad See Ew. Velvety noodles and such a rich and earthy savory sauce. Not drowning in it. Just well coated. Definitely felt like craveable food that warms your soul.
All of that for $50 total for the two of us. A great find!

Diner Review №156

One of the best pad thais I’ve ever eaten!

Diner Review №157

Diner Review №158

Small restaurant tucked in a small strip near UCLA. Parking is challenging but love their simple food, friendly service & cute venue. Green papaya salad and tom yum soup are especially good.

Diner Review №159

Great food, great service, and great ambiance! My family and I would come back to eat here again

Diner Review №160

Hungover and needing some grub, I ordered Thai fresh for delivery. The order came exactly when they said it would—everything was hot and well packaged. I had the pad thai, which was very good and a nice large portion. The bbq ribs were a little over sauced and on the sweet side. The duck on rice was simple but delicious. The coconut chicken soup was a little watery and the chicken was a little dry and chewy.
I would definitely order from here again—I’d just leave off the coconut chicken soup.

Diner Review №161

Great service. Great atmosphere. Great prices.

Diner Review №162

BY FAR the best Thai we’ve had in LA. We have frequented this location for 3+ years and honestly never had one bad thing to say. The food is prepared fresh and clean, even the takeout meals are well packaged and presented.

Favorites: Tom Yum Soup, Yellow Curry, Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mow, and of course Thai iced tea!

Diner Review №163

Good food by good people, try it.

Diner Review №164

Wow! This is exactly the type of restaurant that I love - a tucked away hole-in-the-wall place with amazing food.

We ordered the Chicken Satay, Beef Pad Thai and Panang Curry. When it was all done, I wanted to do it again. 11/10 would recommend!

Diner Review №165

Diner Review №166

Not many places to sit at the moment but it was late so they were able to accommodate.
Well charred and marinated steak. Sauce was a little too salty.
Nice bits of crab in the noodles.

Diner Review №167

great value . the green curry is very tasty

Diner Review №168

Ate lunch here.
Chicken satay was good but not exceptional—3⭐️s. A little oily and no grill flavor. Peanut sauce was different than the norm; am sure some people would love it.
Pad woonsen was better than good, but again not exceptional. Vegetables seemed slightly undercooked. Maybe 4 ⭐️ s
Pad Thai was maybe 3⭐️s. We left a bunch of it uneaten—not worth taking leftovers home.
Service was very friendly, but we did have to ask for some items twice.
The interior is very stylish and well done—5⭐️s

Great food. Pleasant staff. Try the crying tiger beef with sticky rice.

Was really excited to come here as the reviews are so high and consistent. Huge let down. Spicy noodles and pad see ew were indistinguishable. Easily some of the worst/laziest Thai food I’ve eaten in my life

The beef massaman curry was one of the best I’ve had in America. Surprising how good it was. About to order again. Rock on Thai Fresh.

Diner Review №172

Good flavor, but portions got small. I think they may have been running out of things that night but they should of said so. When I called to let them know after years of ordering, it was way too small , but they replied well that is how it is and we cant help you. Also charged alot more than menu said.

I had the Panang Curry and can say it was done very well. The curry was sweet and savory and had a great consistency -- not too thick. Its peanut aroma was pleasant and upfront without being overpowering. The beef was superb, both tender and infused with flavors. I had it served "Spicy," although I recommend having it "Thai Spicy" if you want more punch. Will certainly be going back to try more.

Very nice place, thanks so much 🙏🏼

Diner Review №181

Great food but super cheap owners. I paid for extra mushrooms, and they literally took the mushrooms and cut them in half making it seem like there were more mushrooms. Nice try. And then all the noodle dishes have a ton of noodles and very little protein and veggies.

Amazing atmosphere and sweet attention plus excellent food! Everything is consistently delicious! (Only dish I don't order is the pad thai - it's not bad, just not how I like mine)

A cozy friendly restaurant with great staff. The food came pretty quickly and was very delicious! I ate here with my grandma and we both enjoyed our food. The portion amount of food was generous and it was so delightful to come here at night. The person who served us was super friendly and helpful for my grandma who had never had Thai food before. I usually don’t eat Thai food but this restaurant has changed my mind. I highly recommend.

Great service, warm reception and amazing food! Try the Penang Beef Massaman Curry - it's like the best pot roast ever and the best sweet coconut curry ever had a baby - I've never had anything like it before and it rocked!
