Don’t come with large parties here. Our bill was $531.06 before paying I counted the money 5x and it was $550 when my husband went to go pay he was told him he was missing $11 dollars. My husband handed him $11 dollars. How? The cashier ran to my husband and told him “oh sorry. I was wrong. Here’s your $10” so now I am missing $20 because he kept the extra dollar. This isn’t the first time this happens. Stay clear from this place. It’s ridiculous how they steal money from people. We aren’t made of money.

Diner Review №5

Food/Service was 10/10. Only downside is it’s CASH ONLY. Also place outdated with no parking.

Diner Review №6

Amazing food and really good service. The waiters are very attentive and caring. The fried rice is the best!!

Diner Review №7

Muy buena la comida , la sopa de mariscos si te gusta el limón te encantara, en mi opinión el arroz y el chaw mean son otro nivel y las raciones de carnes 10/10 , el Thai Tea está un poco dulce

Diner Review №8

I’ve been going here since I was a child and the recipes/taste quality has stayed consistently delicious the entire time! It’s crazy how this place has been here since the 80s which makes sense because everything has been great from the seafood soup to the pork jerky💗 wish they took credit card so make sure to bring enough cash to tip the staff😇 Thank you Vims love uu

Pretty good place here. The food was good. The waitress was helpful in choosing a dish that works with my restricted allergies diet. Portions were big and the price was reasonable. I'll return to try more selections.

Diner Review №21

We have been eating at this place for years, the food still maintains its good flavor, it is delicious but the wait for a table is long, there is a parking problem but what they have had for years and continues to get worse is the cleanliness, under the table the floor has leftovers and everything is sticky from floors that have been dirty and poorly cleaned for a long time, but the bathroom is the complaint that I can't let go. I'm leaving you a picture here so you can help me clean them.

This place is better then ocha. I've beengoing here ever since they were located off Vermont. 30+ years of great thai food. Best in California

There were 6 parking spots in the parking lot blocked off with signs. I pulled up next to the one labeled Vim Thai. I went inside said “I would like to eat lunch. How do I park in the parking spots with signs blocking them?” The restaurant worker told me that “It is for the market.” I think that is some sort of delivery. I asked when that would be and they said an hour or so. They claimed that I could not park in any of the 6 parking spots blocked off with signs, so I left. They did not make any effort to accommodate me, so they do not deserve my business. It seems like they are in a turf war with the other businesses that share a parking lot. I’m not interested in supporting businesses like this.

Diner Review №31

Buena comida y servicio rápido .

Diner Review №32

The delicious food is the best Tom Yum soup I have ever tried: the orange shrimp fry and the chow mein noodles are to die for.
I immensely recommend it.

I have been going since I was little no matter the commute we do. But I am excited about the Pico Rivera location hopefully they open soon.

Es un lugar sucio los bańos no sirven huelen feo el lugar es sucio los trastes donde te sirven la comida ya estan muy viejos ahora en estos dias de calor el aire acindicionado no sirve la dueńa no le invierte en el restaurante para nada.. el bańo de hombres tapada la coladera con limones no quiero imajinar como tienen la cocina donde preparan la comida no volvere a ese lugar no lo recomiendo

Diner Review №36

Vim’s is a Los Angeles iconic restaurant that has been around for years. Don’t miss this place, it’s delicious and you’ll be back time and time again. Weather you live in the area are visiting thus is a must try!

Diner Review №37

Deliciosa comida exisitos caldos solo que caro los precios ☹️

Diner Review №38

I visted the restaurant Saturday June 13 for dinner, I ordered a soup and a few other dishes. My problem was with the soup quality. I received a few broken shells on my soup, I choked on it and accidentally bit into one of the broken shells. I came to my dentist office and was told that I have a broken/cracked tooth because of the shells. I tired to speak to not one but 2 different employees the night of the incident and none were helpful. I paid for bad service and bad quality of food. I tired to call once I was at my dentist office and spoke to a " Manager " name NATHALIE which was rude and disrespectful. Speaking over me and not letting me fully explain myself. Even if the restaurant will not be responsible for anything I would still like to speak with someone's regarding the quality to avoid this from happening to anyone or any ones children. I was eating a soup why would there be broken shells?? My family and I have been loyal customers for the past 20 years+ and after receiving bad customer service from supervisor is not acceptable. Like I said before even If I do not receive any help with my dentists cost I still firmly believe I should be giving the chance to fully express and explain myself without being disrespected.
NATHALIE got my name and information if anyone from the restaurant would like to make this right and hear me out. Thank you

My parents use to bring me here as a child, beautiful view of the observatory with delicious food and nice fast service

Diner Review №43

Exelente muy buena comida

Diner Review №44

For a Thai restaurant in my opinion the food isn’t tasty and their soup is no flavorful as other please rate it.. fried rice was very mushy, not to be mean but my friend rice comes out better.. combination chow mein was very rare and difficult to eat
Please have to try better places to eat Thai food

Diner Review №45

Look, this place has high reviews because it’s cheap and has large portions, not because of good food. I have never left food at a restaurant like that (usually take it home), but the pad Thai was just not that good. My wife and I barely even touched it.

Beef salad was ok, but it tasted like Mexican barbecue - good but not why we went here.

Still hungry… going home to eat now.

Service was good though! I don’t want to knock them on that - they were responsive and had a good attitude.

Diner Review №46

The food and services excellent. Ka punka

One of the best seafood soups in the city. I have been coming here for years, mainly for the seafood soup, spicy or not, it is always good. My family and nicknamed the soup "Nemo-Soup" when I was a child. Iconic place

Diner Review №49

It's a must for my seafood soup craving. My mom loves the food and we come almost every Monday

Siamo stati a pranzo da Vim Hollywood. Le porzioni sono giganti ma buonissime.
Abbiamo mangiato del riso mooooooooolto buono, due tipi: con gamberi (più buono); normale con carne.
Abbiamo mangiato anche della carne in della salsa buonissima, maiale saltato con l'aglio. Abbiamo pagato 50$  per 3 piatti.
Unica pecca, i bagni sono sporchi!

Diner Review №55

Muy sabrosa la comida yo vengo especialmente por la sopa 7 mares, arroz frito combinación y alitas bbq. Delicioso todo. El precio por estos 3 platillos y 1 bebida ustedes juzguen fueron $59.00
Pero para mi bien valen la pena.

Tasty food, take out orders prepared in adequate time, not long of a wait. Parking is extremely scarce or non existent. Avoid the headache and park on the street and walk to pick up your order.

A nice 40+ yrs establishment in Hollywood. The food is good and place could use a renovation especially since it is 40+yrs in Hollywood. NOTE- this place is very close to the Thai community in Hollywood. I would come to the place if in the neighborhood again.

Don’t get me wrong the food is way better than Ocha they have good prices but everytime you go in with a large group check your bill before paying they where gonna charge me 309 and when I was looking at the bill it didn’t made sense so I told him to double check at the cashier and from 309 to 174 I said wow imagine how many people pay extra without knowing what they charging you be careful

Diner Review №108

Natalie is the worse manager she attacked me for no reason thanks to Natalie I’m reporting the owner from the irs for fraud. That’s why they only do cash because they don’t report everything that they make of money. All 3 restaurants make a lot of money. Thanks to Natalie I’m reporting the owner to the irs.

Diner Review №109

Food portions are big enough. God cost performance. but not my favorite Pad Thai and Tom yum.

Diner Review №110

Always fresh and delicious! The drinks and the food have gone up in price. $3.00 for a canned soda is a little rough. Nevertheless, this place is great!

Diner Review №139

Más de 10 años disfrutando de esta deliciosa comida por lo menos dos veces por mes la sopa deliciosa

Diner Review №140

Overrated. Most dishes are larger-than-average sizes with average pricing but subpar ingredients, e.g., they use cheap "filler" vegetables such as cabbage and tomato. My pad thai appeared to contain zero tamarind sauce and an excess of orange food dye (WHY?! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THE NECESSITY OF THIS?). Didn't even taste like pad thai. Wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. Would not recommend.

Diner Review №156

The food was good, not great. Went the other night, a Thursday, got 3 soups, 2 were the same, and egg rolls, and 2 sodas. She didn't write anything down and couldn't remember our order. She kept repeating the soups, but only 2, and added fried wonton AND egg rolls. Whatever, took the egg rolls and the wonton. Got our bill, which should have only been around $65, it was $100!!!! Didn't realize until after we left. Too late to do anything about it now.... won't be returning. And just a bit of warning to anyone going.... double check the prices because what is on the menu is NOT what they charge you.
******menu price******
#2 Fried Wonton -9.50
#3 Egg Roll -10.50
#13 x2 - 27.90
#17 12.95
Coke and Sprite -4.00
Comes to $64.85

Paid 100..... SMH..... Never again...

The service is wonderful💯 If your family member is allergic to seafood, order the chow mein chicken & beef, best food imo, place is a 10/10 But the place is full and the parking is packed, but you should try Vim, I grew up in this restaurant, i first went here when i was 5 and I was bothering my family to go again.

By far the best "7 mares " soup anywhere around! Good service, good gets to your table quick. 9/10

Diner Review №188

Este lugar llevo mucho tiempo consumiendo la comida delicia. Pero hoy quizá me lleve una mala experiencia estábamos a mitad de la comida y me llevaron la cuenta. Los latinos somos los que le damos vida a este restaurante... tienen que darnos el tiempo para comer.

Diner Review №190

Boxed up food & gave it to homeless. Not real Thai Food in Thai Town. It was cheap and tasteless Chinese fried rice and a lot of it. I prefer smaller portion of quality food. $4 for a small Thai ice tea that was half filled with ice and watered down. As someone wrote, if you don't see Asians as workers or as customers, keep it moving down the street. Also only Thai restaurant I've been to without vegetarian options. Hope the homeless person enjoyed a hot meal, free meal.

Diner Review №191

The best thai food i have ever had. It's on our favorites when we're in town.

Diner Review №192

Still a pretty good place to eat. But i feel it lost some of it's luster. The increase in it's prices put itself in comparison with other restaurants in the area, that for my dollar, are a better option.

Diner Review №193

Diner Review №194

Amazing experience. The staff was very nice and got our food out quick. The prices were good, and the food was excellent. Apart from the great service, we even got a free drink from the house. Very happy with my experience, and I strongly recommend this place.
