I just picked up a yellow tofu curry to go. It was over $18 with no rice. Only had potato and tofu in it… Definitely OVER PRICED

When I feel like curry for dinner, I go to Exotic Thai. Preferably the location off Kanan Road/Lindero Canyon though. This location, while much closer to home, has much lower quality standards.

At my most recent visit, I was served Tom Ka Gai with a chunk of ginger as big as my thumb, and the potatoes in my Karee Gai were undercooked and could have done with being sliced in half. The curry itself was unusually thin as well. My Pad Thai was a bit soggy (still reasonable though). My Pineapple Fried Rice had only a single shrimp. When I placed my order, the employee taking it kept trying to predict what I was saying (out loud) and thus I had to correct her three times.

Hopefully they correct course in the future, but they should definitely take notes from the excellent quality and service of the Kanan/Lindero location.

EDIT: I've come back twice since my initial review, and they have gotten worse. Ordered the pineapple fried rice, received it BURNT. Their prices are absurd enough on their own, but compound that with 0% QA and you've got nothing but a recipe for disaster. Sorry, y'all lost my business, and referrals, for good now.

Mixed feelings about this visit; Service was lacking and my understanding is it was intentional, and for that there is simply no excuse. So despite the quality food and atmosphere, service and overall rating will stand at 1 out of 5.

The food is good but the service is absolutely terrible they are never at the front desk and even when they are open, they refused service for who knows what reason she just shook her hand and waved me away. Don’t know why but just rude

Wow the very best in the thousand oaks area. Yummy. They even offered bowls for our pickup. Lovely people. And Freshness is outstanding

We went for lunch….food was delicious, service was awesome! The yellow curry was so tasty! Great authentic atmosphere….Highly recommend!

This particular Exotic Thai Cafe has 2 different lunch special menus, but this one is my favorite of the two. You get 2 entree-type choices as well as rice. Delicious. Highly recommend for lunch eat-in.

Pad Thai and yellow curry chicken.

Love this place! Pineapple curry is my favorite!

Excellent food, nice little restaurant.

Exquisite! :)

The garlic noodles and pumpkin curry was delicious.

This place is extremely disgusting. Don’t let them fool you with an updated interior.
The service is awful as well.
There are far too many excellent Thai places to waste your time and money here. Please do yourself a favor and go elsewhere

Did not enjoy the food. Most of the items on the menu were not available at 7 pm. on a Friday evening. Don't fall for the appearance of the restaurant or the beautiful server. It's not worth the money.

Great cozy family owned restaurants, and I have not had anything I don't like or enjoy. The plants are beautiful and the service is first class and quick.

My go-to for Thai. They can be hit or miss, but the miss is still better than most places around. Small, cute, and clean, and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

We have tried Chicken Dumpling, Tom Yum Soup ( shrimp and chicken), Fried noodles with chicken - all items are well prepared and value for money. Ambience is ordinary and nothing fancy. Service is prompt. Highly recommended. Specially for above food items, you will never go wrong.

Great little nook for yummy Thai food! We tried the glass noodle soup (large) and it is full of delicious chicken and vegetables. Just enough white pepper to bite, but mild enough for a sensitive stomach. We also ordered the lunch special pad thai and sweet and sour chicken, and the portion is huge! Taking plenty home for another time, which makes this a great value.

Everything at Exotic Thai Cafe was excellent and the service was great!

Always fresh and cooked perfectly to order.

Yummy food. Superb service. We really enjoyed this place and the dishes were great, especially the curried!

Never fails to satisfy. Good food, quick pick up. It's a small shop. The yellow curry is terrific 👍

el servicio es perfecto para mi Faltan vasos fríos

Food is always tasty and pleasantly plated.

Excellent food and service.

Exotic Thai is my favorite Thai food place around. I enjoy everything I get - sizzling plate with chicken is like having chicken satay with tons of vegetables and rice... Soooo yummy! Their pad Thai is great... Shrimp pad Thai doesn't have much shrimp though. I have also had their rad na, sweet and sour chicken, crab rangoons/wantons, spring rolls, soups, and mango sticky rice. All so good!!! Their Thai iced tea is bomb. And the little restaurant is also nice atmosphere with good service. I've had dine-in, and take out. I've had their lunch menu and dinner menu. Everything is so delicious.

Yummy fresh food!

I have been coming here for the last 10 years or so and have never had a bad experience. I come with my elderly grandfather who is often rude and impatient. The server at exotic Thai is always so kind and patient. She is one of the best servers I have ever had in my life. She is the tall, skinny one. One of my all time favorite restaurants just because of the consistency over the years. Garden spring rolls and pad thai so good.

This particular Exotic Thai Cafe has 2 different lunch special menus, but this one is my favorite of the two. You get 2 entree-type choices as well as rice. Delicious. Highly recommend for lunch eat-in.

Love this place

Found this whole in the wall with my fiancée and we really enjoyed it for lunch. We had pad thai and yellow curry , spicy eggplant and chicken , very delicious and the prices were great with the lunch special. Server was friendly and gave good service. 👍

Pricey for what you get.

I usually order take out so I can't comment on atmosphere. But the food is outstanding!!! I recommend the sizzling hot plate!!! So delicious!!!

Got delivery thru Grubhub. Food tastes okay, but there’re a few things I’m really not happy about…
1. I noted for Medium spiciness for both dishes. They both turn out to be not spicy except for the jalapeños in there, which are way TOO spicy when you eat it, but everything else not spicy. I was not expecting that.
2. Both dishes have vegetables, but they’re so hard and raw. I think they are barely cooked.
3. Like I said both dishes are supposed to have vegetables and no meats. But in one of them, I ate a piece of shrimp shell. Would not be good for someone who has seafood allergy. :(

Small but delicious food.

We had the Spicy Eggplant with Chicken and the Pad Kee Moa with Shrimp (spicy level requested). They were excellent. Very friendly hostess . We will be back.

Their version of Tom Ka soup is one of the best I've had. The pad Thai is excellent also.

Served day old rice and more! Nasty service and food. Restaurant isn’t the cleanest either. Never again.

I’m giving one star because of the poor service and quality of the food. Neither were pleasant. Perhaps it’s this location but I wouldn’t suggest eating here.

Food is so good here! I especially enjoy their lunch special. I get the chicken curry lunch combo for $12. It comes with a half order of their chicken curry, your choice of steamed, brown, or purple rice, a garden salad with ginger or peanut dressing, and one egg roll. It's a really good deal and filling too! My order was ready in less than 10 minutes. I usually come here for take out, and I've only dined here once. The staff is friendly and I've never had an issue with the service or the food. Highly recommend if you're craving some good Thai food!

Curries are good but not consistent

Food is very good but but the ambience is not so great. It is very clean and the service is very friendly.

A little pricey, but food was plentiful and very tasty 😋

My favorite dishes include the Roasted Duck Curry, Exotic Catfish, and the Pork Ribs.

The spicy Thai basil with shrimp was fire and the exotic stuffed chicken was excellent!

I ordered online. When I came to pick it up there was one person in front of me. 25 minutes later I got my item that was sitting on the front desk nice and cold. Guy at the register saw me, made eye contact, and then turned around and went into the kitchen/back for a solid 5 minutes. I'll go the one in Thousand Oaks on T.O. Blvd instead.

When I feel like curry for dinner, I go to Exotic Thai. Preferably the location off Kanan Road/Lindero Canyon though. This location, while much closer to home, has much lower quality standards.

At my most recent visit, I was served Tom Ka Gai with a chunk of ginger as big as my thumb, and the potatoes in my Karee Gai were undercooked and could have done with being sliced in half.

Great taste

Food was good. A good option when you're looking for Thai food. A tad more expensive than other food types.

Super good food. Go with the Hot its super tasty and it will get you sweating. They have Singa beer and the staff is super quick and responsive.

Very delicious 😋

My favorite Thai hole in the wall. Food is excellent and prices are great too!

The restaurant delivered last nights leftover food. Everything except one item tasted weird. The restaurant did not follow instructions. Instead of adding egg into the noodle, they fried it and placed it on the side. None of the items had salt in it except appetizers. Also, this is not authentic Thai food. The reviews on Doordash are not real.

We ordered enough takeout for two days of meals and our experience was excellent. Mongolian beef, pad Thai, vegetables with shrimp, spicy green beans. Everything was fresh an delicious! Packed up beautifully and with care taken. Even the coconut ice cream was packed on ice. We’ll definitely be ordering more.

Fabolous Ty food the best I've found in Ventura County it's cell rice by mama and Ventura Grace election really tasty you can pick up the food outside they deliver curbside gray choice

$$ But tasty. Do have leftovers, and it still tastes very good. So I can appreciate that.

My go to Thai place. Always amazing.

The flavor was not upto the mark of some of the other Thai places in and around town

Good Thai food made fresh, and Good prompt Customer service (ask for Ms. Apple or Ms. Bee). To-go order made on time accurately. Menu has Good variety too. Reasonably priced.

They have the best chicken Satay.

Food is amazing! I recommend the Glass Noodle soup.

Ordered food this afternoon thru Grubhub because of the virus. I have to say the food was delicious and I will tell all my friends and family about you. Thank you.

Good food. Nice small place

Absolutely Amazing. Best Yellow curry i've had in a long time

lunch special was nice. i really liked the thai curry flavor! the potion is perfect and price is fair to a bit pricy. nice staff

Wow the very best in the thousand oaks area. Yummy. They even offered bowls for our pickup. Lovely people. And Freshness is outstanding

great food. hot pot soups are tasty. service is good. all dishes are tasty really. small place though. can get crowded. a lot of take out orders.

Ordered vegetarian item if rice noodles and did mention to server who first served us vegetarian and no egg meat etc. The noodles were served with some eggs. Did mention to second server the lady behind the desk and a cold sorry. No offer to take it off the bill.
Not going there again a

I offer to replace it

Food is very tasty
Sometimes service can be rough.
Prices for lunch are very competitive.

Mediocre food that's expensive.

Have been here for lunch three different times. Each time the food was so fresh and tasty. The egg rolls are crispy and not greasy.

Yellow curry w/ chicken. Mm mmm good!

Personally enjoy the all smiles service, and the plates are served well with tons of flavor. Prices are a little high to go there every week for a peasant such as I, but well worth the dish's flavors.

Ridiculously small quantity for lunch special. You spend 12 dollars on the name of lunch special and get literally not even appetiser size portion. It felt like a joke.

great food.

Crazy good - flavorful, good portions, friendly.

The service was bad. Ordered seafood and tasted awful and smelled rotten. Told the waitress about it and she brushed off and charged for it. Four of us got food poisoning from the Seafood fried rice. Will not recommend any of their seafood plates.

I've been coming to this place for 6 years and never had an issue with them until yesterday. My family ordered three plates of fried rice seafood. The squid was rotten and smelled awful. We asked the waitress to take off one of the plates off our check, because the food smelled disgusting. They did not want to and both waitresses were extremely rude to my mother.

My mother did not eat her plate and did not touch it at at all. The waitress kept arguing with my mother, accusing that there was no rice on the plate when there was a full plate of food there. It was the worst customer service I've ever received there.

I'm not ever coming back. I don't reccomend anyone eating here. My whole family got sick after eating here and we currently are still sick...

I would give this place a 0 rating if I could!

The best Thai food in Ventura county.

🐌 to slow for the high cost

Food and service both are great.

Great food and pricing is very reasonable.

Maybe the only place fro Thai food in Newburry Park. But that's OK. They do it right and you don't have to find another. We just get the basics and have never looked back. Pad thia spring rolls and soup.

Service was good. No free refill on soda they give cans but free refill on Arnold Palmer. Food was ok got
1- steamed dumplings for appetizer they were ok I prefer pan fried
2- wonton soup with bbq pork was good but not much pork.
3- satay chicken so good loved it
4- bbq pork and chicken pineapple fried rice best part of the meal
Only reason not 5 star was the soda not having refills

I wish there was a zero star option for this scamming restaurant. I went to this Newbury Park location Exotic Thai Cafe for lunch, by myself and they tried to scam and upcharge me. Rude server seats me at a table of 4 but 2 other people were already seated. When I was trying to place my order she tells me higher prices for items listed on the menu at a lower price. Ridiculous service. Worst experience ever.

Since almost everything I have had here was sweet, I am not a big fan of this place. However, the place is really clean and they have pretty cool lunch options with purple rice with an added $1 maybe, which is pretty good. You have good tea options too like ginger, Jasmine etc which they serve in a kettle. Overall very cool if you have a party of 5 or so, since you can collectively order and not have to deal with the 'sweet' pad Thai alone. 😉

Great food great service good prices

delicious!!!

Great local Thai!

One of the best restaurant in the conejo valley

I passed this restaurant by many times and thought I would give it a try.
Had their Larb and Pad woon sen. It was really good. Restaurant had a nice ambience and servers were attentive and helpful. You wouldn’t know it, just looking from the outside. I think the local community knows about this place as it was quite packed for lunch.

Large menu and large portions. My dishes were made perfectly.

Awful experience. I have never had to sit and wait an HOUR for my food before. NEVER will we return.

The pad Thai is delish

Yum 😋

I really loved this place! Atmosphere and staff are very friendly and helpful! Food is great!

LOVE. . LOVE this place, the fusion of flavors in each dish is amazing !!!

Love the food here and the service is great. Try the sizzling plate with beef, YUMMY!

I love the food here. It is authentic and reminds me of Thailand

Love this place. Wonderful food, good service.

good food

Favorite Thai food in Thousand Oaks.

Great quality ,happy smiles , nice atmosphere. Love it !!

Food is delicious.

Cozy. Pretty good food.

Excellent pineapple shrimp Curry! The brown rice was prepared well. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meals. ... Wow did this place change. Ordered curry takeout and they gave me no rice. I called and they said "new owner, we don't provide rice with curry". Come on! Also, they had no option in the app I used to order to purchase rice with curry. To top it off, the curry was nearly tasteless. New ownership is not good for this place. 😕

The food is constantly good. Service is a little slower than most Thai food. A nice meal anyway.

their tum yum soup is delicious.

Great food!

Great atmosphere considering the location. Food was pretty good, although a little on the bland side.

Spicy fried rice was really good

Very good place to eat authentic Thai food

Best Thai food in Newbury Park

Good Thai food. Good veg options

The family loves it. Best Pad Thai in town. My son loves the chicken satay skewers. The Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) is my favorite. Very friendly staff.

Excellent food & friendly service! A must for takeout during those rainy days.

Best Thai food around. I love their pad Thai and egg rolls. I'm a vegetarian, and love that you can get any dish with tofu or vegetables. I've always had really great service

양이 많아요 맛도 그런대로...
