Sitting here as I type this. Typical hole in the wall restaurant, which is fine, but the flavors are just awful. Ordered the spicy seafood soup with coconut milk and it just tastes so bland. The coconut milk is overpowering and artificial tasting. It tastes so strong for how thin the texture is. We sent it back and got the regular spicy seafood and realized it’s the broth that’s the problem. It has no flavor except for the kaffir lime leaves. The fish in the soup does not taste good either. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for a spicy seafood soup. We didn’t order any other plates except for steam rice so can’t comment on those. Our first and last time here.
Always feels like eating home-cooked food! There's ala carte, and there's ready to eat food on display.My fave is their fried rice with shrimp paste and stir-fried pork and Chinese broccoli. And, don't miss to try their sweetened cassava. Reasonably priced meal. Very clean, enough parking spaces. Accept cash only.
HOoRAY!!!!
CASH ONLY, just like Bangkok. .
Flavorful and well worth the wait and patience. All time favorite ever! Top notch in comparison to other restaurants. Cook fresh when order to your spicy level: mild, medium, and very/ hot but can modify to fit your diet or allergies or preferential desire needs.
Enjoy chicken or beef curry over rice, fried chicken rice without ketchup sauce, or sauce on rice from cashew chicken, pad see ew with beef, tom yum soup with SHRIMP, kra pao ta lay, basil mint GROuND pork to name a few ...or any of the dishes in the hot trays are excellent but preferably with white rice. Don't mix or combine the dishes when you spoon so you can taste. I like Thai Tea or Thai coffee but it disappears too quickly. Parking limited on site or street but available.
Know what you want then order in advance before going. Sometime sold out...
Enjoy¡!!
Cashew Chicken, Chicken Fried Rice, and Pork Ribs are all straight fire. Thursday for a limited time they have Spicy Chicken that is well worth it. Bring cash and you're golden. The hole in the wall might not have the best service but the cheap price and great price has had me coming back over and over again. They are legitimately the best Thai I've had and I drive a hour just to have it.
Combination chow mein, seafood soup, chicken broccoli with chili, and white rice 🌶️ are our favorite items! My toddler loves this food, and he’s a picky eater!
One of my faves a places I definitely trust w my Thai food! Such good smelling amazing tasting food! It’s all cash though is mostly street parking but it’s worth the wait!
I used to come here for about 20 years with my family. But throughout the years so much has changed. The food portions got very smaller as well as the Thai iced teas! They used to use longer cups now it’s small cups. The decline in taste and quality has also dropped. My family and I try to give this restaurant more chances but this will be the last time we go. The soups taste like water before it would have that coconut thick milk. The meat also tastes very old/expired. No more. I would recommend Rincome. They have good Thai food there:)

Excellent
They have good food and are nice people, but They are too cheap to hire help, so the service is lousy
Saturday night and it was closed. 🙃
One of my faves a places I definitely trust w my Thai food! Such good smelling amazing tasting food! It’s all cash though is mostly street parking but it’s worth the wait!
I came here in 2002 for the first time, my children were 2/3 years old,, and still we always eat here at least twice a month, and tried other Thai restaurants but,, always. Come back here,, even my children now on their 20s still come here,
Surprising hole in the wall. Small portions, good food. Reminder Cash Only.
This was the worst Thai food I have ever bought. They gave me what seemed to be boiled chicken. I didn't know they only accept cash so I went all the way to my bank to come back and be served garbage.
Just. Love to eat here.
I love Thai food and usually am not able to find amazing Pad Thai like I was able to find here. Eating Thai food at different places in the valley has made my taste very picky, and this is one of the spots that I really like.
My family has brought us here since I can remember we absolutely love khun kao, my children love it now to, our favorite is always and will always be #77 mint garlic chicken it's absolutely delicious the staff is friendly and familiar and it's a great place
Great food as always.
Yummy food, small portions.
Excellent food, exceeding hospitality, and the Tom Yum is my absolute favorite! How do they do it?!
Delicious, just hate that they only take cash.
I love the food here. They have food that’s already cooked and ready to serve and also on the have the menu if you want to order different dishes. Authentic thai food. They also serve many Thai desserts. So good. If you come to LA you should visit this place. คนไทยที่อยากทานอาหารไทยอร่อยๆต้องมาร้านนี้นะคะ มีข้าวราดแกงด้วยและสั่งจากเมนูก็ได้ด้วยค่ะ
i’ve travelled all over the world and i have never tired thai food this good 100% highly recommendable. Although i wish they didn’t take as much breaks
La vida cuando se ha formado en una forma de vida como ellos .. dedicacion . Al final se hacen un interior.. Gracias a Dios q los existen aqui en la tierra lo han demostrado q la lucha no son de una si no de mas .. el camion es largo juntos con las guellas q quedan en el precente para q lleguen asta el futuro..
delicious Thai food here
Absolutely recommend it!
Best thai fd in the valley
Good food. Cash only
I have been coming here for years the food is always excellent their eggrolls are to die for there’s never a miss here their food is wonderful♥️♥️♥️♥️
I went there tonight for take-out. A bit of a wait as they were extremely busy. I enjoyed their chicken satay with the peanut sauce and am hooked on Thai tea. Very friendly staff.
I always make sure we eat here.
Great Pad Tai and friendly service
I would totally rate this place a 5 Star Restaurant because of the food, meals here Taste Great & Price is Fair.They have been in Business for Years.... But the staff here is very Lousy & Rude. This Restaurant has potential to become A Lot Better but the Staff Downgrades the Restaurant. Ive been here Several times but seems like The Staff won't bother to Change that up.
I absolutely love their shrimp Pad Thai. I've been coming to eat here for more than 22 years and the quality of food is still fantastic!! Thank you Kenny
Update: they have not been open for months and I would not be surprised if they decided to once again postpone when they will open back up again from being on vacation.
Have called multiple times during the past few days during their open business hours and not one time have they answered. How am I supposed to be able to place an order ahead of time if they never seem to answer the phone, they just let it continue to ring.
Love love ❤️ 😍this is my favorite Thai restaurant in the valley . I know the owner very friendly, and had been going to this place for about 30 years or so. Food is excellent you will not be disappointed.
muy sabroso el caldito very good 👍
Best food
This place I would highly recommend because the food is excellent but the waiting time for your order is kind of poor meaning of slow but if you don't mind the wait then you you have a in store that is a treat they will feel your desire for the food you are craving for we just said may you all have a pleasant day respectfully Rudy Tapia Jr smile
Horrible costumer service! I called and placed my order for pick up they said would be about 30 min so i got there 30 min later and my food wasn't ready they still had me wait for an additional 20 min before I walked out without any food! Never going back if i order for pick up is should be ready by the time they tell you not have you keep waiting around
Good food. Good prices. Great service.
Heaven on earth
Rated one of the best Thai food restaurants in the valley so trust that
I have been going to this restaurant on and off for over 25 years. It's my favorite Thai restaurant. The soup with chicken and coconut milk is the bomb. I believe it's called Tom Kha Gai, though I have to get it mild. I usually order rice on the side and mix it in. The owner told me the restaurant has been there 37 years, which would be 1984.
Great Thai food and wonderful customer service. Need to go and try their food. Good servings as well.
Sad place
Love the food ..great place
Best thai food
Loved the service, food (beef panang) was amazing, tea was on point. Thank you for a great Thai dining experience during this Covid pandemic. Face masks required.
They told me it would take 25 mins to make my food. I coordinated with someone so that they would get there and simply pay, pick up the food, and carry on with our day. 50 mins later the food is still not ready. When I called to see it would be long they responded with “do you want it or not?” I would not recommend ordering over the phone with them. I’m glad others had a good experience but I’m disappointed in the customer service. Next time say something like, “it’ll take anywhere from 40-60 mins” instead of lying to the customer.
Excellent taste. Suggest, American fried rice, fresh or deep fried catfish, Tom yum, pork leg stew, fried pork ribs, krapow talay etc... The price is still below $10 per dish, while others jump to $13. Went there on Saturday lunch, so busy. Take some dessert home. You will enjoy it.
By far, best Thai place in a about a 150 mile radius .
Hmmm I guess I haven't posted a review here for Khun Khao, so I'll have to remedy that. I've been a customer for more than 30 years. I don't live in LA anymore, but when we find ourselves in LA we always stop by there. The owner still remembers us and treats us like friends. But the food. Best Thai I have had anywhere. OK so I haven't been to Thailand but I've been all over US and Europe, and Khun Khao is #1 in my book. There are two dishes in particular that I get every time. One is Cashew Nut Chicken. I guess plenty of places make this dish good- but still Khun Khao stand out. The other dish is Kua Gai, also known as Guay Tiew Kua Gai. It's a noodle dish that is similar to pad see ew. This stuff is AMAZING. I am told it is a common Thai street food dish that you can find everywhere. But not many Thai restaurants in the US make it. I've found 2 in the Bay Area that make it- but neither of them are very good. The Kua Gai at Khun Khao is PHENOMENAL. Trust me- go try it. Everything else we've had is good (my wife likes their deserts) but I never get anything else there. On top of this, their prices are very reasonable, portions good, and the staff friendly. It's a small restaurant on Roscoe Blvd in Panorama City. Not the best neighborhood and it's just a small spot in a nondescript strip mall. So don't go for the ambience. But do go for the food. You will thank me.
Amazing food
It is very Delicious
My favorite is the Spicy Chicken Mint (warning: the mild is very spicy)
Food was Great , good taste but I feel portions are too small..
1 of my favorite Thai restaurants to go to! If you're in the valley and you like Thai food, Khun Kao is the place to visit! And the old man and old lady treat all their customers the way customers should be treated. If I could give 7 stars I would.
Excellent food and the owner is very nice and polite. I had never met an owner that treats customers so well.👍👍👍👍👍
Best MINT CHICKEN MEAL EVER !! #77
(make sure u say MILD/VERY MILD if ur not a fan of spicy foods) MINT CHICKEN OVER WHITE RICE IS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, OUR FAMILY HAS BEEN GOIN TO KHUN KHAO FOR OVER A DECADE N WE ALL KNOW WHAT WE WANT !!!
By far the BEST Thai food ever!! We have gone here almost 30 years and we still come back. No one has come close to their taste.
Oh, and we drove an hour with no traffic to come😋, SO worth it!!
I use to work down the street from this place. Tried the food from a coworker. It is the best. My favorite is the spicy catfish. I am now retired and live over 30 miles away. This food is worth the drive. Every one there is always very kind, patient and friendly. I love this place ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very lovely restaurant! My husband and I found this place by chance and now it's one of our favorite spots to go! The owner is super friendly as well!
Their desserts are absolutely amazing. Try everything there! You won't regret it
Been coming here for 10+ years food is always 👍
Great restaurant. Haven't gotten anything from here I wouldn't eat again, amazing food, and I like their Thia Tea.
I have been coming to this place for 30 years and I have always loved their food. Prices aren't too bad. Friendly owner.
Good food good costumer service
Very nice service, I have been going there since 1989
Delicious food !!
GREAT FOOD , I LOVE THE PAD SEE EW AND THEIR SHRIMP FRIED RICE. PLUS THEIR COCONUT MILK LEMONGRASS SOUP IS AMAZING.. WILL COME BACK FOR MORE , THANK YOU ... BRING CASH ONLY .. NO CARDS .. THEY DON'T HAVE AN ATM.
It is so good best staff ever very friendly very helpful and always asking if you want refills and if everything is ok ! 👌 good place to eat good Thai food
Fresh, authentic Thai food in a clean environment.
Loved the food!!!
Great place. $50 fed four adults with leftovers to spare! Delicious coconut based Tom Kha Gai soup and green curry.
Great place, reasonably priced, and filled with locals from the neighborhood. Highly recommend.
Very filling. Great quality Thai
Best Tom yum in all san Fernando valley.
The owner is very nice and friendly. The food is delicious!
I would have given it a 5, but food takes too long
I've seen thai people eat here, that should tell you something
Food is great...They need better service
Great food and great service!
Great authentic Thai restaurant. Kenny, the owner, is a great guy. Many items here on the menu you can't find at your normal local Thai restaurant unless you're in North Hollywood which has a plethora of authentic Thai restaurants. At most Thai restaurants everything is made to order. There are some dishes at Khun Kao that they prepare ahead of time and give the food more time for the flavors to mix. For that reason I love the yellow curry chicken here better than any place else. They also have these incredibly good spicy chicken wings called prik king pi gai that will knock your socks off if you try them. Unfortunately they're only available one day a week (Wednesday) and tend to sell out fast. Get them if you can!
Great food
Great food and excellent service...try the seafood soup..
My family has been dining here ever since I could remember so ~20 years. The food is some of the best Thai food in the LA area. The staff is very friendly and some have also been with the restaurant since I was a kid. The only downsides I can think of are the shrinking Thai tea portions and sometimes slow service.
The food was really good and authentic tasting. Service not the best but still really good.
Nice sized portions!
Great food reasonable prices
their food is really good but service can be pretty slow at times. our party waited for about 30 minutes before getting seated even though there were empty tables (just dirty/needed to be cleaned.)
Delicious food but the staff that serves not very good
I used to come here for about 20 years with my family. But throughout the years so much has changed. The food portions got very smaller as well as the Thai iced teas!

Best Thai Food ever. Same owner same staff. Owner always greets guests when they come in thanks them on their way out. Service is good food is delicious.
Came here with my boyfriend and his family. I really enjoyed eating here and the staff was super friendly. They are cash only.
Is the best tai food
I’m visiting for many years
Thank you guys , I’m recommend this Restaurant .👍
My all time favorite thai food restaurant no other place make food like this place no one
My family's spot we go for lunch. Friends love it also
foods are affordable.
Food is really good the only problem is their customer service They take long time to take orders and prepared meals, but I guess is worth the wait wish they were a little more friendly.
But honestly Food is really good
Great food at low price. Clean place with consistent quality.
Good services, good food and excellent customer service.
The beef salad needs fish oil and more lettuce
Best sea food soup ..shrimp rolls my favorite I been eating here since 1993 still the best Thai food ever
Unique, delicious and good customer service. I'll be going back
Great food. Serving staff is a bit slow and not to courteous.
Best Thia food in around
The best thai food I ever tried.
Don't think you can get any fresher!
😍😍😍
Great Tai food!!
อาหารอร่อยราคาถูกสะอาดขนมไทยก็อร่อยดีครับ.
I've been going to Khun Khao for well over 20 years. It's worth the drive across the valley! They have secret specials! This is a family owned restaurant that's been there for decades tried-and-true... Say hi to Ken.
Great food always at great price, the best Thai food in LA for the past twenty five years.
Very bad costumer service!!!!
Good food, ordered the cashew nuts chicken it came with out any cashews. A small disappointment, but the dish was still really good. Tender and tasty.
Favorite restuarant in the valley, just for thai food period. No one else make it like they do!
My favorite dish is the #67- the spicy seafood combination ( stir fry) I suggest order it mild if its your first time trying. I order mine medium. (Spicy is way too hot! Hotter than habanero pepper!) They also make a soup version of this. I haven't tried it though.
I've been here at least 25 times and I get the
#67 every time. Why do i get this every time some might wonder. Its because Ive been to at least 5 other thai restaurants for this dish,(Santa monica ,Pico-Robertson area, El segundo, West Hollywood, also a thai place directly across the street from here, and that was only because I came here on a Monday. They are closed on Mondays!
They all pale in comparison to this place ! The only other item I've ever tried was the beef broccoli.
This is my local family owned Thai food restaurant and food feels home made type of deal and service is just as good especially cuz owner is at the front and center , watching, directing and guiding his crew or maybe they all family but he makes sure you get what you came for .
El lugar esta en una ubicación muy mala ya que no cuentan con parqueadero y para preparar la comida tardan mucho asi que no recomiendo para nada este lugar
The food is made to order, the price is very affordable, the portion are large, and most of all the food is excellent.
