The food isn't good. Portions are fairly small. The prices are highly inflated. Would not recommend at all.

Diner Review №3

Wow delicious!

Diner Review №4

They take forever

Diner Review №5

My go to Thai joint for 22 years!!!!

Diner Review №6

No service at all. Me and several other parties waited at the door for more than 5 minutes, but no one ever served us. The only staff lady in the dining hall were glued to her chair, and fixed her attention on the computer screen, acting complete nonchalant to customers. Several people left with disappointment.

Diner Review №7

I've no idea why they put only one napkin for a person. Disgusting.

Tom yum was good. But pineapple curry was really bad if you compare to other restaurants. The color and consistence are not good. It seems it was used not real coconut milk, but powder.

Diner Review №8

The food, service and warm atmosphere is something we've enjoyed for years. Always charming and delicious. I suggest the Prik King dish if you like it spicy (green beans with chicken) and my favorite is their Tum Yum Gai soup, they allow me to sub broccoli for the mushrooms and with a little chicken the broth is to die for! Love these fine people, great food and very customer oriented. Cheers!

Diner Review №9

Great food. Great service. We really enjoyed our dinner.

Diner Review №12

Absolutely phenomenal! The panang curry was the best I've ever had. Didn't realize there was Thai this good this close. We were driving to Malibu for Thai food that was sometimes as good as this visit. Happy to have found this and will be back again. The sticky mango rice was also a delightful treat to top it off. I loved the atmosphere as well. They also brought out a kids plate for my 3 year old, which was quite pleasant.

Diner Review №19

Really good spot. We went there in a Friday night and a pair was running the restaurant it seemed.

Super traditional and they take their time.

Very tasty and recommended.

Diner Review №20

Best Thai in Ventura Country hands down.. And I have tried every restaurant in this area.

Diner Review №21

Love it!

Diner Review №22

Diner Review №23

Slow horrendous service. Wouldn’t come here again

Diner Review №24

Food is not great, but okay for the occasional indulgence.
Service is good, atmosphere okay.

Diner Review №25

Food is delicious. Authentic. Can tell the chefs to make the food actually spicy. Waiters handle to go orders and dine-in customers so they get busy. Relaxing when no one else is dining in. Other conversations can get loud and distracting.

Diner Review №26

Diner Review №27

Avorage Thai, the floor was sticky under the table.
The table was clean, but the menus were dirty.
Pad Thai was good but to sweet for my taste.
Exotic Wonton was Avorage
Chicken satay was really good
But really, that's good everywhere, right ✅️

Diner Review №29

I've lived in many different cities through the US and internationally, and honestly, this is some of the best
Thai food I've ever had. Incredible blend of spices, great variety of dishes, and everything tastes so fresh.

Additionally, the ambiance is fantastic. Beautifully designed. Great volume of music (and great selection).

Finally, the team that works here is lovely. Such a lovely experience.

Diner Review №30

Over Thirty years my family has been coming to this amazing place the food is always perfect the owner is always so sweet and kind I highly recommend this place ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

Diner Review №31

Delicious food! The dining room seems to be set up more for takeout than for dine in and it’s a little dated. But I really enjoyed my meal, and the waitstaff was very attentive.

Diner Review №32

I loved it! The food was good, they gave it to me pretty fast and the bathroom was super clean. I’ll definitely come back

Diner Review №33

Food is always consistent. Lots of flavor

Diner Review №34

Horrible place to be picking up any delivery orders. They completely don't care about outgoing orders and only care about the people dining in.

Diner Review №35

Very authentic Thai food. We ordered Tom Yum Goong soup, Spicy Eggplant, and Beef & Broccoli. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Highly recommend this place.

Diner Review №36

This was my first time trying Thai food....and it was delicous!! If you love spicy food do medium heat for you food! The Yellow curry with the potatoes were a good cool down form the spick drunken noodles and soup! The hot wings were sooo delicious and crispy!
I'm going to come back here more often!
The only down side was that I would like to have more napkins! I felt like when I asked they only gave me one more napkin lol .
But other than that food was delicious! First time Thai eaters need to try this place!

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

Great food for a good price!

Diner Review №39

Have been to this restaurant numerous times and usually it is very good, but last night fell short. My combination fried rice literally had only two shrimp in it and hardly any chicken or beef. It was also pretty bland, so much so that I had to add salt to it. It wasn't horrible, it just wasn't great like it usually is. One of my fellow diners also said his food was very bland and he gets the same meal every time and it is supposed to have a little spice in it. He actually sent it back and requested they redo it with some kind of flavor and spice but even when they brought it back the second time it was still pretty bland. It almost seemed like there was a different chef than there was in the past. I honestly probably won't go back again after last night's meal. There are just too many good Thai restaurants around to bother taking another chance on this one.

Diner Review №40

Near the top of the list for Thai food in the area.

Diner Review №41

Diner Review №42

Just now ordered meekrob crispy noodles and they are not edible. Called the restaurant and they were no help. Soggy, crushed and broken noodles. Will never order again.
Do not waste your money. Better to go to Bangkok Avenue. Excellent food and service every time.

Diner Review №43

The best thai food option in the Thousand Oaks area! Its always fast and professional service, and always delicious! Give it a shot, you will not regret it!

Diner Review №44

For whatever reason, the yellow curry has ZERO flavor. I’ve ordered it twice, 3-4 weeks apart and it has no taste other than spicy water. The first time it happened, it had the consistency of literal water with a THICK layer of oil floating on top. When I reheated that order the next day, the oil had congealed and it was really gross, especially since it should not be served with a full layer of oil on top. This is all really strange because the other location in Newbury Park KILLS it every single time and actually puts salt in their curry. I don’t know what it is about this location but it is definitely a huge waste of money to order a saltless, flavorless yellow curry. There isn’t even a curry flavor! So weird… and not good.

Diner Review №45

Overpriced. Prices are much more than it shows here. They forgot my pad thai and did nothing to make up for it other than tell me to come back and get it.

Diner Review №46

Diner Review №47

I remember coming here for with my buddy for a Door Dash delivery order and the lady in the restaurant (presume it was the owner) rudely told us it would take 5-10 minutes for the food to be finished. She was sitting down on her iPad counting money whilst we waited for the food. After 20 minutes we asked her where the food was and she kept telling us to just wait. Finally after an entire 35 minutes we cancelled the Dash delivery and left. What a disrespectful owner she was.

Diner Review №48

First time here and I'm truly impressed! Great lunch special for 12 dollars. Had a appetizer along with a soup we all shared. Excellent meal can't wait to come back.

Diner Review №49

This restaurant is a great place to eat Thai food. I had the roasted duck curry, and it was very delicious. There was some variation to the curry since I had last eaten here, so don't be surprised if some ingredients are added or removed from dishes. Beware that "medium" spicy curry may actually still be quite spicy, so go for mild if you are not prepared for super spiciness. I'm no stranger to spicy food, but even I had struggled to maintain my composure at times. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my visit. I'll be coming again soon.

Diner Review №50

After coming here regularly for many years, it occurred to me that I hadn't yet written a review. Everything has been consistently excellent. We occasionally try other Thai restaurants in the area but haven't yet found anything that is quite as good as Exotic Thai.

Diner Review №51

Excellent Food and friendly staff.

Ordered Penang curry and it was very bland, could taste a lot of coconut milk but no other flavor. Also ordered exotic spring roll, the chicken was dry and didn’t taste fresh. Disappointed!

Is good

Diner Review №68

my favorite of all the thai restaurants in the conejo and simi valley. very honest, hardworking people who know how to cook spectacular food. example: just try their salmon gang ped just once.

Diner Review №69

Masaman curry has a nice pineapple flavor with the twist of peanuts to balance it out. Pad thai was on point, and the pad kee mao was amazing. They were very generous with the meat, and I couldn't of been more happy.

My boyfriend and I LOVE this restaurant. We order at least 3 times a month and it’s something we always look forward to. The food is fantastic and super flavorful. It’s definitely the best Thai food in the area!

Best Thai food in the Thousand Oaks. Fast service and great soups.

Diner Review №86

This is our favorite Thai restaurant in the Westlake Village / Thousand Oaks area.
So, why not five stars?
1) It's a little pricey
2) It is sometimes hard to get the food as spicy as we like it. Well, that's better than having it too spicy, but still....
3) How good the dishes are depends, in part, on who is cooking.
All that said, we have never had a bad mean at this Exotic Thai location. And when they are on their game they are REALLY good.

Great service and nice staff.

Diner Review №106

Consistently delicious. Then again, I prefer food to be more sweet than spicy. The Tom kah is extra sour.

Diner Review №111

Food was delicious, ingredients were very fresh. My daughter loved their egg rolls and wontons. I loved the ambiance and great decor! Reasonably priced. We are definitely going back!

Diner Review №112

Good Thai place! The service was very good, the waiteresses were very respectful and professional.

I had the pad see ew tofu, and it was very good. The noodles had a little firmer texture and did not break apart easily.

Would like to come back again sometime!

Diner Review №115

The best Thai food and Ventura county. The service is fair. They're popular and have expanded to more locations.

Diner Review №116

I don't come here very often but the servers still recognize me when I come in and remember my order. They are always very attentive, friendly, and helpful. The food is incredible authentic Thai cuisine and even though I know this I am always blown away by the quality of the food served and the equisite flavors. The tom yum or tom ka gai hotpots are a must-try.

Diner Review №117

Always good food and good service!

Diner Review №118

Phenomenal food. Food alone gets this place 5 stars. Drinks and service were a distant second but the food was so good it barely registered with me that the other areas were lacking a little. Authentic. Spicy. Seasoned and cooked to perfection.

Diner Review №119

Delicious, in one word that's it. Was overjoyed with the food. Had not been there in some time, the menus change the quality of the food is excellent.

Was great food, the price was hi. I paid 40 dollars for sake, chicken skewers, small Tom ka gai, and a tea. Other than that service was nice. I was the only one there so they were attentive.

Diner Review №132

Authentic thai cooking with great menu selections and excellent service. Easy to find with free parking. Try the rad na noodles, Mongolian beef and delicious, light dumplings.

Looks like they are on Door Dash however.

Diner Review №138

Excellent food and service. Great price

Diner Review №140

Loved the duck. So tasty

Diner Review №141

There are quite a few decent Thai restaurants in the Conejo Valley & several of them are very popular beyond what I would consider expected for the quality of their food. This Exotic Thai, though, is always a reliable go-to for my Thai food cravings. The quality of the food is always consistent & delicious. The staff is courteous & efficient. And I can usually get seated here without waiting half an hour like some other Thai restaurants in the area.

I haven't had everything on the menu but a few things stand out, like the pad see u, & the tom yum noodle soup with shrimp. Just good quality, fresh & tasty Thai food with a menu of most of the usual Thai food entrees.

It's located in the Palm Plaza shopping center & parking can be a little tight but I usually don't have much trouble finding a spot. The restaurant itself is large & airy & can accommodate larger groups easily.

Diner Review №142

Food was cold and service was slow. Food tasted good though. When we asked they were more than happy to reheat it for us.

Went there for the first time on Saturday evening with my friends. The place was clean and nicely designed. The food was AMAZING!! totally took me back to Thailand :) Everything we ordered was fresh, full of flavors and satisfying!!! I gave only 4 starts because of the service. The waiter wasn't patient, did not check on us at all (not even for refill on drinks) and that was a shame, because we loved everything else about that place!!

Diner Review №147

Always enjoy the food here. Fried wontons and chow main.

Diner Review №148

we went there with there 4 people (two sick adults and one sick 5 year old).
Oedered sea food hot pot. adults seasoned theirs with hot sauce. we also had steamed dumplings and egg rolls ( not big fan but they were OK) and panang curry.
at the end of the meal all of us were feeling revived. i think soup had the biggest contribution. the sick 5 year old was running after the meal :)

Diner Review №149

Ordered over the internet for delivery waited an hour as email said it would take. 10 min after we call. The women said they did not start making it yet because she forgot to grab the paper. They already charged my card! So now we had to wait another hour!

Diner Review №150

Diner Review №151

Friendly atmosphere. Good food. Ample parking . This restaurant has been around for years serving both Westlake and Thousand Oaks communities. Definitely worth a visit.

Diner Review №152

Good Thai food and very reasonable price...two thumbs up!👍🏻👍🏻

Diner Review №153

This is one of my favorite Exotic Thai restaurants. Good food; nice ambiance. Not crazy about the music.

Diner Review №154

Fabulous food. We had the ground chicken (spicy).

Diner Review №155

Great seafood soup and curries with choice of brown or white rice.

Diner Review №156

Great Thai food with very nice servers.

Diner Review №157

Best Thai tea ever

Diner Review №158

Veggie pad kee mao

Diner Review №159

Great steak and surprisingly good a la carte side dishes. My unexpected favorite was creamed corn, but scalloped potatoes, creamed spinach, sauteed m/ushrooms and side salads were all excellent. It's a bit like a maze between the different rooms: don't get lost.

Diner Review №160

Diner Review №161

Very good. Will come back here.

Diner Review №162

Diner Review №163

Great service. Fresh, flavorful, well-prepared dishes and excellent portions! Highly recommend!

Diner Review №164

Lunch is reasonably priced (Aug 2016 $8 for the food in this picture plus approx /2.90 for thai tea) so definitely well priced for what you get and IT IS DELICIOUS!

Diner Review №165

Very delicious thai food

Diner Review №166

Good Thai food. Love the Masman curry and the 3 flavor calamari. Rice doesn't come with the curry which is kind of lame, you have to order it separately. And when you get it to go, the portion of rice is never enough. It's white rice! How expensive can it be to include a decent portion with an order of the curry!?

Diner Review №167

Love this restaurant. A must anytime we are in TO. Masman curry is oustanding along with everything else we ordered (sizzling entree, pad see ew, pad thai, and spring rolls).

Diner Review №168

Diner Review №169

Diner Review №170

This is the worst Thai restaurant I have ever been. i ordered a green curry, and it didn't come with rice. You have to order rice separately, who eat curry just curry alone without rice or naan. My friends in Thousand Oaks, DO NOT go this restaurant.

Diner Review №171

My family favorite restaurant in Newbury Park. The food is fresh and true Thai flavors from Chef Bo.
There ambiance is beautiful. I love the Kombuca squash with duck, War Won Ton Soup and the Thai Duck Salad. There is such a variety on the menu and it is all so tasty! I love to cook and this is where I come when I want a fresh and delicious meal!

Diner Review №172

Good food, with a great lunch special price (very cheap)! I had their lunch special, and everyone was very nice and attentive.
