Diner Review №7

We ordered steam rice, but it was cold.

Diner Review №8

The place is lively and busy until closing time.

Food was delivered quickly, and the portions were generous.

We asked for the coconut mushroom shrimp soup, and for the Chinese sausage and pork fried rice.

🍚 The meat in the rice was flavourful, and the rice itself had some hints of the lard used to cook it, giving it depth.

🍲 The soup was citric (thanks to the lemongrass) and thin. The shrimp had been cooked outside of the soup, and had its own distinctive flavor.

This restaurant is not worth it. I ordered a seafood soup and they just gave me three shrimp & the rest was just water! The beef chow mean was all salty!

Diner Review №14

This is not the VIM Thai restaurant, it may have the name of Vim but it is not it. Go to Vim in Hollywood. This Ocha the food doesn't come close to the real Vim. Updated the name and stop fooling people. This is Ocha not Vim.

This restaurant is always busy and we finally decided to give it a try. Everything from start to finish was great, however when it came to one item on the menu we were a bit disappointed. The pineapple in the pineapple fried rice was not fresh and after they mentioned it came from a can you can still tell that even that one was not fresh at all. Manager was nice enough to ask if we wanted a new one w/o pineapple to go which we kindly declined. Poor taste on that but besides that everything else was good.

My family and husband's family have had dinner in this restaurant since the 80's. Our favorite plates are hot chicken coconut soup, spicy beef bamboo #34, chicken chow main, and veggie egg rolls. Everything is made once you order fresh and hot.

Pricey - $14 for a basic bowl of soup. Parking on the street. Stereotypical Asian “hospitality”. No frills interior/ambiance.

This Restaurant recently is being fined/lawsuit due to not playing there employees over $800,000 in wages, if i were you i wouldn’t support this place.

Diner Review №36

Poor flavor, very little meat, over priced, and over crowded.

Diner Review №37

Been coming here in the early 80’s. No air conditioning back then in the summer
The lines of people waiting to get into order
Unbelievable
Such good food in a comfortable low key restaurant
Now
I live near Hollywood Blvd for a lunch
Even this place is always busy for lunch
It will never be fancy
But
They give you
Good portions and flavorTown

Diner Review №38

Food was great but I'm not sure if it was the owner of the restaurant or an employee that treated us very badly. She tried to rush us to order and we didn't even have menus yet. We tried to order some of the sea food soups and she said we needed to put all the orders together and started cursing us because I told her we didn't even have a menu.

De.k.hablan.?????????

Diner Review №40

If you want real Thai food, go to Chuan Chim Thai Cafe instead. This place had no idea what prik nam pla was when I requested it and the food was very sugary. The sauces and curries are nauseatingly sweet. If you want sugar-drenched, Americanized, non-spicy Thai, you’ll definitely like this place.

Servicio moderado, los bus-boys o bussers (personal latino por lo general) son los que realmente hacen el trabajo pesado, son eficientes en todo el sentido de la palabra...los y las meseras solo toman las órdenes y luego se quedan estáticos como muñequitos de adorno.
A CUALQUIERA QUE LEA ESTE MENSAJE, LE SUGIERO QUE PARTE DE LA PROPINA SE LA DEN AL BUSSER O BUS-BOY, PORQUE SE LO TIENEN BIEN MERECIDO.

Diner Review №70

desde hace años he asistido a este restaurant y habia estado generalmente bien , la ultima vez ya no me gusto debido a que llegas y tienes que pagar por adelantado y siento como , que quieren que comas rapido y desalojes el lugar , por eso la calificacion.

For years I have attended this restaurant and it had been generally good, the last time I no longer liked it because you arrive and you have to pay in advance and I feel like, they want you to eat quickly and leave the place, that's why the rating.

我去过这家餐厅很多年了,总体来说还不错,最后一次我不喜欢它了,因为你来了,你必须提前付款,我觉得他们希望你快点吃完然后离开这个地方,这就是评分的原因

I've been coming to this place for over 20 years, and literally order the same ting, from when I was a child and a family tradition for my parents and us, now it is my tradition with my wife and kids. I am just glad my wife likes it as much as I do, makes for the 2 hour drive worth it. Lol

Second time I buy on this location during the pandemic hoping to get somewhat of a great service since one can't eat here. But for the second time that I buy the seafood soup it is so salty but so salty I'm just wondering why? Do they not taste before its done? Also why is the kung pao, and teriyaki so watery? I really hope this changes, I but I will not come back to this location.

I used to come here with my family and I recently came back and Omg what a change and not a good one. My dad ordered rice with shrimp and they gave us 3 shrimps, he had to find the shrimp in the rice because they literally just put 3 little shrimps. I ordered a shrimp with garlic and behold only 5 shrimps and the garlic was burnt and the most bitter thing I have ever tasted. The only good thing from that experience was the coconut chicken soup that was bomb, but even it came with limited Chicken. Wouldn't come back at all, so expensive and no quality or quantity.

Excellent soups, seafoods, noodle dishes and oh, well, pretty much everything is done perfectly tasty. Generous portions. Reasonable prices. Parking in back off alley. Take out. Open all day. Nice staff. Busy!

I usually get the Orange Chicken or Chicken curry, but I recently stopped eating land animals because of health reasons. So...sadly I couldn't get my beloved Orange chicken. Instead I got the curry shrimp with green beans and crab fried rice. It was sooooo delicious. Loved loved loved the green beans. To be honest I don't really care for the appetizer options, but everything else on the menu is WONDERFUL!!! If you have never tried this place you MUST dine here, you will be glad you did.
