Thai classics pack a punch at this compact, no-frills eatery, part of a small local chain.
Food was delicious but not as good as my original spot down the street with the V. But it was close to it. Be careful on the chili because it is hot going in and worst going out. Had the soup. Which was great and big portion. The Chowmein was good as well and not to greasy. The fried rice was really really good and the Thai Tea did not disappoint. If your in the area or if your usual spot has a long line. Try this place out. You will not be disappointed.
My friends kept complaining about the food, but honestly, I felt it was OK. I don't know what Authentic Thai food tastes like, but I felt the dishes I ordered were definitely more influenced by neighboring regions. The Fried Rice and Paht Kee Mao were stir-fried right. Not super oily, so that seasoned Wok flavor was there. On point! I mean, I couldn't complain.
Customer service was unprofessional. Servers picked and choose who they wanted to serve first in our group. My family ordered our food first but ended up getting our food last in all of our party. I wouldn’t go here again! As for food, larb was made of ground beef and was watery. Beef and noodles was literally just meat dumped on some noodles. Servers also didn’t want to get our drinks when we asked multiple times. I only gave 2 stars because Thai tea ice coffee was good.
Tried this place based on my girlfriend's recommendation.
+ Vast assortment of food items that can be ordered.
+ Food was delicious, loved my meal from beginning to end. By far one of the tastiest meals I have had in Los Angeles.
+ Large sharable portions.
+ Atmosphere is good, quiet, especially for a Saturday night.
+Family friendly but I recommend not taking any kids under 8.
+ Service was good and the waitress was friendly.
- Restroom was ok, not nothing to rave about.
Will definitely be checking out this place sooner, rather than later.
If I could give 0 stars I would. I’ve been coming to this location for a while till just recently when customer service started becoming extremely rude and very shady. Every time I come to this restaurant there’s this lady with a bowl haircut that is rude whenever you ask her for assistance. It started when me when my mother in law came to this location and they charged her a service fee of $20 and when she paid for it she saw in the receipt and when she told them about it they just said “sorry for the charge it was a mistake in the system but we won’t be able to refund you” and there were many times this happened when that short lady with a bowl haircut would happen. The last straw was when we had placed an order for our food and they maid the mistake of not putting an order for my BBQ beef. When I asked politely if they knew how long the order for the beef was gonna take they said they didn’t put it in but they’ll bring out. We finished eating and waited for about 20min after we finished but nothing came out so when I went to ask the short lady with the bowl hair cut she said “you have to wait since you just ordered.” In a very rude tone. I was shocked but kept it cool and politely asked do you know an estimated time. She said no “I don’t know it’s gonna take a long time go sit down”basically screaming at me. I just said okay I just want to cancel it thank you and just sat down waiting for the recipe to pay and leave. When they bring the food and I said no I canceled it because she said it was gonna take a long time. Then she came back and told me to confront me about the food I told her she was being rude the way she was talking to us and she said “well if you don’t like it leave and don’t come back just pay and leave” she even put her hands together and told us to never come back and to leave humiliating us and herself the way she was acting. If you guys to come here be careful with the short lady with the bowl hair cut because she puts fees in your recipe or she’ll blow up on you if you ask for help.
EDIT as of 12/04/24:
So even though we left the $14 dollars of cash that this lady with a bowl cut still charged my card for an extra $14, are you serious? We left cash for a reason. And you still continue to put an extra tip charge without the consent of the customer
The foods pretty good, so is the service and the atmosphere, but you know it would've made more sense if they would at least tell us or explain how the gratuity works, because if we leave cash on the table you shouldn't be charging my card for extra of that gratuity. Was reading some of the reviews, wishing I could've seen them more sooner knowing I was going to get charged $14 more dollars. Next time won't get near that lady with the bowl cut. Beware of how they decide to charge your cards. NXT time I'll use cash...
ORDERED CHICKEN PAD THAI NOODLES; MOST PLACES MAKE THEM SPICY ALREADY BUT THIS PLACE DOESNT
TASTED LIKE NASTY FAUCET WATER; ESPECIALLY THE VEGGIES AND HERBS. NOT EVEN MY CURRENTLY 10 YEAR OLD BROTHER USES THAY WATER FOR CUP OF NOODLES. WOW IS ALL I GOTTA SAY AND NOT COMING BACK.
THAI IN WHITTIER OFF GREENLEAF AND THAI 365 ARE MY GO TO; WHITTIER MORE PRICEY BUT THE BEST OF BEST AND 365 DAILY SPECIALS BEATS THIS SPOT BY MILES FOR LESS
FRIENDLY SERVENTS AT LEAST AND NICE RESTAURANT BUT THAT PAD THAI ISNT IT LOL3000

Delicious meals at very reasonable prices.

Food is great here but they cut on portion size a lot
Cuidado roban aquí. Vine a comer y me cobraron extra fee de 18% por ninguna razón y cuando pregunté me dijieron que lla no podía acer refund y lo pusieron como tip cuando yo no di mi consentimiento.
Good place and clean

I was seated in a booth that stunk, smelled like a bum had been sleeping there. After I asked to move, I watched as the hostess seated a family of four in the same booth, despite at least ten open booths/tables. The complete lack of caring was unbelievable. I'll never go back.
I been eating this food for many years but unfortunately it is has been a couple times now that their food is not as good. Their portions are lessening each time I go. On top of that, one of their workers Gabriel is the worst. He does not know how to provide customer service and has the worst attitude. Extremely unprofessional and it is often unfortunately. This place deserves better than him.
Been dining and ordering take out in this establishment for years now since i live in the area. Every category has been declining as time passes.. customer service was non existent today. 3 orders of chow mein being $70.00.. food was bland. Will not return again. I'll take my business some place else.
Be careful in that place the food is recycled and you get cockroaches and you get a bad experience in the dishes because the people in charge of the place are not responsible. I do not recommend this place 👎
I do not recommend that very dirty place. The last time I went, a cockroach appeared inside the glass of water.🤢🤮
One of the employees, said a bad word to my sister, bad, bad, customer service.. 🤮👎👎
I have been coming to this place for awhile and I don't know if new staff don't like black or multi racial but I was treated bad.
They sat me under an a/c took 15 minutes to ask what my order was then since my food was at risk of being cold fast I ate and waited to get anyone's attention for a check and box for the remainder of my food. I had to walk to the counter . When I returned my food was gone as the bus person threw my food away. Worst experience ever and I been a regular customer for over 10 years ! They replaced the food that was trashed but it doesn't take away the way I was treated. It shouldn't matter if it's a holiday or not . I was the only person getting waited on slowly or not at all. If you black or look black stay away . You'll do better at the Chinese restaurant not far away on the other side of jons
Fue la primavera vez q prove esa comida y me encanto el servicio muy rapido.
I had chicken pad thai. It was good. Service was great.
Finally!! I found an Authentic Thai Restaurant.. OMG their food is sooooo gooood, crazy good... if you're into spicy Pan Fried Noodle, try the Pad Kee Mow..
Food was good and portions were filling.
Amazing food
The food is good the people are nice. I just wish that they would be on top of the burner that keeps the soup on your table hot cause it always goes out fast then the soup gets cold and we don't get to finish the soup, who wants to eat cold soup.
Comida esta buena buen precio
Unprofessional waitress. The waitress who sat us was ok. But the one who took the order and served us just does not know how to do customer services, offensive and especially very defensive. The owner should offer training to waiters and waitresses before letting them serve the customers.
In American culture, it is important to answer the question before ellaborating your answer and especially do not take the customer's questions as you are being offended. They ask you so that they can clarify the menu and get exactly the foods they want.
I had been living in Thailand for years and found out that typical Thais are very defensive. That is the way the kids were raised. Most of the things become punitive. That makes them a very defensive person.
The problem is that they bring this into their work without even being aware of it.
This is the very reason that they don't normally answer your question directly but try to go around the bush. So they can get away with it if they answer it wrong.
My experience with that particular waitress, she just could not answer a simple question if the vegetable on their menu equivalent to another name. She replied, "no one has asked that question before", instead of getting help from other servers if she does not know the answer.
Training how to do customer service right might resolve this problem.
The food is somewhat appealed to us.
Food was very tasty, but service was very slow. One dish came out, then half an hour passed, then the rest over the course of 15 minutes or so. Staff was friendly and prices are good, but don't go if you're in a hurry.
Service was BAD and everyone here is very rude and the place is really run down.
Does not not allow service animal and they are breaking the law
Sooooo goooood!
Literally the worst service I’ve ever had… I saw the staff treating someone horrible my and without compassion - I hope no one ever goes here - worst Thai food on Vermont
Great Thailand food.
The food is very good. Unfortunately I won't be coming back. The people that work there are extremely RUDE!!! They argue back with the customers. My boyfriend ordered his mom a COFFEE never did we ask for an ICED COFFEE so I told that to the rude waitress and she kept pointing at my boyfriend saying how he had asked for coffee in which I replied we never asked for iced coffee. Another problem that they have is when we ask them for plastic utensils, never had we had a problem at another restaurant but in this restaurant they take it so offensive, the rude unwelcoming waitress picked the utensils that we didn't want to use took it to the back and slammed them. This is when we decided enough is enough, we had bad service before but since the food is very good that is why we kept going back.
delicious soups
Más o menos
ORDERED THE SHRIMP AND CRAB WITH TOFU AND GOT FOOD POISONED, DO NOT GO!!!!!!
The way they cooked the century egg is fantastic. Well done.
This place has seen better days, now it’s not worth eating there.
The place was almost empty of customers and they took their time to give us a table for 5, we ordered the food and they forgot to get us one plate, we told the waitress and it took so long everybody had finished their plate of food and they still hadn’t made it so we canceled that plate order, the food is barely ok,
The service is the worst, the server just dropped the plates and left us without coming back, she just went behind the counter to sip on a beer, didn’t care people where watching, they add an extra 15% charge to the bill and they still expect a tip for he lousy service,
Don’t waste your time and money in this dump.
Friendly service, great portion size. The red curry is some of the best I’ve had!
The place gives an excellent service and the food is is tasty
DO NOT EAT HERE ! The service is so terrible, they treated me so rudely ! So unbelievably, I’ve been coming here for over 20 years and they have not once treated me this way ever before ! I felt so discriminated in the position they put me in, it made the environment feel so hostile. Last week I had asked the waiter what type of sauce did they have because I had forgotten my favorite sauce. He replied and said I don’t know you so I don’t know what sauce do you want and he said it so rudely. When he could’ve given me a run down of what kind of sauces did they have. The waiter continued to gossip around with his other co-workers and made me feel uncomfortable! Then today on March 1st I wanted to order again from this place because I like eating from here and they suddenly recognized my face, when last week they said they have a lot of people coming in and out of this place and that they won’t remember anyone so I was surprised that they recognized me. They proceeded to make me feel uncomfortable and discriminated when all their staff members came out of their way to stop what they’re doing just to come out and see who I was. This was the worst thing that has ever happened to me because us as customers should never be treated this way when we are the ones who help their business more than anything. Without us there is no business ! The waiters are careless and very impolite!
Great food decently priced. Service was wonderful. Ordered a pad Thai and it was very filling and although not as flavorful as some others I have had, the hot sauces provided brought the flavor up perfectly. In addition, the dish was served with raw bean sprouts and cilantro which I was very happy about. Was happy with my decision to come here
Pad See Ew was just ok because it was rather dry. Could have used a little more sauce and seasoning. The fried rice and BBQ chicken special was pretty good with the BBQ chicken being the standout. Service was friendly. Overall it's closer to 4 stars but the Pad See Ew was the bummer.
This place used to be soooo good.
Kept on giving them a chance but between old steak in my rain fall salad and disgusting dirty shrimp that falls apart like a paste , it all proves that whoever is in charge of the kitchen is no longer good at their job and should let someone else take over. Food gets worst by the day and servers act like their are heart surgeons who are so busy resolving a world crisis. Always running around with 0 customer skills , dropping the food and turning around, without ever checking on the table to see if we needed anything.
Quality dropped horribly and prices get higher. The other location also served me raw food and the tables are sticky and dirty .
This places was great, so it’s definitely sad to see it go down the drain.
My co workers and I would go there at least twice a week, but after tonight, it’s official over.
We are frequent customers here for the past years...food and service is ok
Best thai food around.
Best food ever.
didnt like it at all. :/ not what i am use to.
server was nice. sorry i wouldnt return. prices are fair.
the thai tea was great.
Customer service was unprofessional. Servers picked and choose who they wanted to serve first in our group. My family ordered our food first but ended up getting our food last in all of our party. I wouldn’t go here again! As for food, larb was made of ground beef and was watery. Beef and noodles was literally just meat dumped on some noodles. Servers also didn’t want to get our drinks when we asked multiple times. I only gave 2 stars because Thai tea ice coffee was good.
Authentic Thai food, open till late. Delicious Thai food with lots of variety of choices. Highly recommended.
I've been going here since I was a kid! The food here is really great and it's good for a family-gathering. Service is fast too!
Delomejor en LA
Whenever I feel like having Thai food, Yai's on Vermont is my go-to place. Their dishes are very flavorful, seasonings are on point and reasonably priced. A plus factor is they have a very large parking lot. Went there during dinner rush and as happy as I was that business is thriving, my selfish self was not as it took a long time for my orders to arrive and they were more than 10 minutes apart. They were still delicious though. I highly recommend this place.
One of the best Thai food in LA, bbq pork sausage fried rice is a must.
My favorite Thai place in Hollywood/Silver Lake. Food is excellent! We've been coming for years and it's consistently good. I don't think I'd drive across town but it's way better food than many in Thai town.
Larb, curries, and pepper garlic are always a must
along with pad thai or pad see ew noodles. Additionally we'll try something else to spice it up from their extensive menu. Mostly get take out but will eat there every once in a while for the funky no nonsense atmosphere It's quite a mix! Latino families, hospital workers, and everything in between.
We even hosted my daughters HS graduation dinner there.

The waiter service is very good, the problem is that the food does not have that Thai flavor, which is so rich, this time I think I owe the flavor. El servicio de meseros es muy bueno el problema es que la comida no tiene esa sabor thailandes qué es tan rico en esta ocasión creo que me quedan a deber el sabor creo que esta algo insípido
Not the same anymore ! Very dissapointed order orange chichen its was horrible . no meat at all and prices went up for that . Never again.
Good Thai food at reasonable price.
Their food is excellent. I live in San Diego and we come here to eat Thai food.
My all time favorite Thai spot hands down! The Tom Yum is my comfort food!
Hidden gem of LA. So delicious, with fresh veggies and flavorful dishes.
Whole family has been coming here for years and the food is delicious. Helpful , happy staff to make sure that your visit go smooth. Good for the family, affordable and authentic!
Tasty food.
Best overall thai cuisine. Thai town winner. Been frequently eating here since 2007 . Nothing comes close !!!
My favorite Thai food place.
The best Thai food this side of Bangkok.
As always all is good & wonderful service 😊
The best Thai in LA. Everything delicious 😋
Good Thai food
I have been eatin' there for so many year's love the food so much i can't get enough
I'm not a fan of Thai food but this place is great. Guess you just need to find quality restaurants.
I tried the combination fried rice, I thought the dish lacked flavor, rice was cooked properly , beef was a bit burnt, I usually ask for Thai chili where I eat thai rice, theirs lacked salt , overall I would give this place a 3.5 stars
Amazing food.. I recommend the Yum Nua, deep fried trout with apple salad and steam curry seafood. Best Thai food for your buck!!!
The best Thai food .
Deliciosa comida, buen ambiente gran sevicio.
My new favorite place.
The Tom yok I think that’s how it’s spelled soup is delicious a lot better than previous Thai restaurants I’ve been too and the spicy beef with chili garlic sauce WOW ! Idk what it is but the garlic sauce and the beef go together ! Highly recommend this place
The most delicious thai restaurant in L.a and I love thier staffs they're so nice specially the one that we know but dunno her name 🤣
MY FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT THAI!!! EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD , YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!
All time favorite thai place. Can't go wrong
Always great Thai Food!
Food taste old like its been reheated to many times
The Orange Chicken at this place was really nasty. No chicken only fried nothing. Very disappointed.
Shrimp curry only had 3 shrimp in it with rice! Unbelievable!!!!! Never again!
Awesome food, professional and great service.
Order took twice as long as I was told to be ready. When I asked ET cashier just asked if I wanted to cancel the order. Horrible service!
Best sea food soup!!!!
I usually love the food here. I am a big fan of the Panang curry. But I just walked in and saw a group of people sitting around in a booth (clearly friends of one of the staff), joking around, not-wear-masks, touching each other, and complaining because "the NBA was cancelled." How about some sense of responsibility toward people who are immunocompromised? How selfish! I won't be going there again.
Sweet staff delicious menu.
Delicious food, best Thai dishes. Only one problem they don't serve sticky rice with mango. Otherwise its *****
Always great food and good service. We have been coming here for years and there has always been consistency.
Muy buena comida, precios accesibles y excelente atención al cliente.
Great food - watch out, it can be hot!
Great pad thai.. going on my favorite food place
Our new spot for Thai. Located right behind Kaiser Hospital makes it super convenient.
The food is great! The service, awesome! The price is fair.
We have to get the Pad Thai and Chop Suey every time. We've had the Tom Yum soup... YUM! Bbq Beef, savory! Combination Fried Rice, bomb!
Good food but they need to work on there customer service.
Best Thai food in Los Angeles.
The roasted pork belly with chinese broccoli, green papaya salad, shrimp pad sew are my favorites at Yai. The servings are ample and the prices are reasonable.
Yummy yummy get in my tummy...
We've been going here for years and it's great value and service!
Mal servicio.
Yai resturant is the same owner of the original one in Hollywood, so, the taste and quality of food is the same but bigger place and more comfortable than the old one. Specially , the cost of food if compare to most Thai restaurant around Hollywood -I can say 'cheaper '
Don't get it to go, just bought a combination fried rice and it only had two shrimp and the rest was rice, soup comes with no rice, made a $50 purchase to go and they don't even give you napkins...never again!
Great food! This is a diner styled spot with great prices in Thai town area.
The food was good, but the cashier was awful
awful service and over priced
Very good rice, really everything was very tasty, only bummer was they didn't offer any desert no sweet mangos and coconut milk rice. None
The food was great and the service was superb! Long story short, I was stuck after we were done with lunch for an extra three hours. I ordered an appetizer and tea to help pass the time and the waitstaff said only if you want to, you're welcome to just wait, please don't feel obligated to buy anything. I really appreciated that. Anyway, it was a lovely afternoon.
very good crispy pork with Chinese Broccoli
Delicious like always
Great food. Never disappoints.
