Diner Review №1

! Wow! I have never been so disappointed and offended by an establishment in my life. This was my favorite Thai place and I would order online for pick up and I have some dietary request and unfortunately they would mess it up. It happened to handful of times and I would call and complain because it’s dangerous for me. I recently called in and they told me they would no longer take my order because I had too many complaints about them messing up my orders with my dietary request which could’ve caused a major health situation for me. I have severe food allergies and cannot eat certain things, and they would end up putting it in there anyhow. It’s unbelievable that they turned it around and then told me they will no longer serve me or allow me to order from the restaurant because I had too many complaints. I have never seen a bigger lack of empathy and ownership in anyone. The food is good when they get it right, but the customer service is absolutely the worst I have ever experienced in my whole entire life and I work in customer service. This should literally be illegal to treats customers like this!

Food was great. I personally enjoyed the crab fried rice with medium spice. Pad see ew was a hit with the kids

Diner Review №3

Most dishes here are reasonably priced and taste good, although some can be a bit on the oily side. I like them, and keep coming back.

Diner Review №4

Yummm!

My friend and I went here before a movie and were so pleasantly surprised.

Extremely friendly service, great portions, decent prices.

Tom Kha soup + shrimp: This soup is so creamy and delicious. Reminds me of one I had in Phuket. And they serve in a dish that keeps the soup hot. I will be going back for more it’s very comforting

Fresh rolls: Honestly they were just great portions inside the roll and very fresh ingredients

Egg rolls: my friend ordered these and she said they were fine but that’s typical with fried rolls

Fried rice + chicken: My friend also ordered this and absolutely loved this dish

Definitely a safe and tasty spot to go back to!

Diner Review №5

Pretty good food but not great. Nice and casual but I found the prices higher than I expected, especially since it’s good to average. Nice people, seems family run and it’s always busy.

Diner Review №6

Not good. But the people were so nice. The eg rolls were hot on the outside but it was so cold in the inside. The pad Thai did not have any flavor.

Diner Review №7

The staff were nice and attentive however, the food left a lot to be desired. We ordered the papaya salad, crying tiger, shrimp pad Thai, crunchy lemongrass chicken, and two boba teas. The only thing that was prepared properly were the boba teas. The crying tiger didn't come with the usual dipping sauce, was very thin, and very well done (over cooked). The pad Thai was too sweet for pad Thai, and the "crunchy" lemongrass chicken coating was very very oily.

Diner Review №8

It was insanely delicious - the service was quick and employees were nice!

Diner Review №9

Fantastic food, lots of fresh veggies, nice spices and yummy food …

Diner Review №18

The food is always very good and they serve large portions. Tom Yum soup is amazing as well as the pad thai!!

Diner Review №19

The Spicy Chowmein (Thai spicy) was really spicy, liked it. Panang curry medium was not spicy at all but was tasty.

Diner Review №20

I love all the food here. But last I got the spicy catfish. Fire!

Diner Review №23

There were only four table in the tiny restaurant. Food was okay but I hope they don’t wrap the sticky rice with plastic to heat up. I concerned about Endocrine Disruptors(ED) which can cause cancer.

Diner Review №24

The shrimp and porkegg rolls are the only reason you nees to come. Savory and salty. The cucumber and onion dipping sauce balance perfectly and will leave you wanting more.

Very nice place to grab a bite. A lot of customers takes out. I tried Khao Soi and Thai coffee with bubbles. I do like Khao Soi they use the noodles and pickles of traditional beef noodles and add Thai coconut soup base with chicken. Drumsticks are so tender it taste awesome! I’ll pass on Thai coffee next time.

Diner Review №30

Delicious but DO NOT ORDER SPICY! I have Indian roots and generally have high spice tolerance. But I could not handle their ‘spicy’ yellow curry, with chili flakes sprinkled over it. Panang curry is already a little on hotter side and requesting it spicy made it much more harder to tolerate. Medium or mild is your safe bet.

Having said that, they are delicious and rich. Quick and great service. Parking is not an issue as it’s inside a complex and plenty of parking available. The restaurant is pretty small like 4-5 tables so May have a waiting time if you are going at a peak time. No public restrooms but The Home Depot is right by it 😉

Diner Review №31

Best Thai I've had. Before eating at this restaurant, I did not like Thai food. I'm hooked. I've eaten at Ubon Thai 3 days in one week.

Diner Review №37

great thai food for a great price served by super nice people.

Diner Review №38

This is the best Thai place I've eaten at. It has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat in the South Bay over the last couple years. The food is great. The service is wonderful. The employees are very nice, welcoming and polite. Highly recommend coming here to eat.

Diner Review №39

Wow!! I was going to give this place 4 stars because they have no restroom and I think that is not right! But………this place made up for it with it’s amazing food! I am absolutely blown away by this place. The food is amazing, the service and staff where awesome! One of the best Thai places I have ever eaten at! Great job!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙

Diner Review №48

The khao soi is great the seasoning spice the use etc
Makes it grand to eat
Lunch time gets real crowded
Good fantastic an service is too

Diner Review №49

Try it out!! It’s sooo good! The food is amazing and the service is really great. The location is small but that doesn’t really matter to me because the food is totally worth it. It was our first time there and I can’t wait to go back!

Tom Yum Seafood Soup - we ordered in large size which was big enough to share with two, maybe even three people. The broth had the perfect amount of spicy. They had a mix of seafood that included fish, shrimp, scallops, muscles, calamari (I think), and probably other types of seafood that I don’t quite remember. Served super hot just the way I like it.

Pad Thai - Delicious!!! Pad Thai Combination which includes all meats is always my go to and this one exceeds most that I’ve had. Their plate had a generous amount of noodles, bean sprouts in the side so you can mix them in to avoid them getting soggy. Yumm!

Crispy Pork with Chinese Broccoli - I’ve never had anything like it. It was so so good. The pork was definitely crispy. It had that crunch you expect and it doesn’t disappoint.

They serve a whole coconuts!! That alone deserves 5 stars!!

If you want something very spicy, ask for Thai spicy.

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

Delicious! I’ve been here many times and have never been disappointed, it’s delicious every time! I love the curries especially!

Diner Review №65

This is the best Thai restaurant in the South Bay. I've been living in Torrance for the last 20 years and can't say I had anything better when it comes to Thai cuisine.

Their food is authentic, fresh, and delicious. Unless you can truly handle spiciness, I would be cautious when ordering spicy since they are truly Thai spicy; to a point that you'll be willing to drink sriracha to kill the heat.

Fast and friendly service. Great good. Cute atmosphere for a casual meal. Highly recommend especially during Fall/ Winter season. Expect to pay around $25-35 per person when ordering appetizers and drinks.

Diner Review №66

Everything we ordered was so delicious!

Excellent food great service very generous portions of food

Diner Review №82

Been going to this place for eight years. It’s my favorite Thai place in Southbay. Food has been consistently good, and I’ve always received good service. The only reason I didn’t give a five is because they don’t have brown rice. They do have black rice but I prefer the brown for fiber.

Their lunch specials are also a good value, coming complete with entree, small salad, spring rolls and rice.

Diner Review №83

Diner Review №128

Stumbled upon this place while looking for lunch. Have a very affordable lunch special including curry/rice, salad and egg roll which was surprisingly filling. Coming here was so refreshing from the normal American cuisine. Flavor profile is authentic, not the absolute best curry ever had but I would gladly come here again. Also got a free Tai tea for checking in and it was one of the best Tai team's I've had in a while. Awesome lunch!

Diner Review №179

This restaurant is my current favorite restaurant. I've been to many Thia restaurants but the food here tastes the best. I mostly order yellow or green curry but the pineapple fried rice is good too. My girlfriend orders the salads and other dishes and she's told me their delicious as well so there you go. We've been coming here for about 3 years now and not one time has it dissappointed us. By the way, the service is excellent, staff are very friendly and costs are very reasonable. So if you're looking for excellent tasting food then wait no longer and give UBON Thia Kitchen a chance because you won't regret it.

Tasty Thai food. Great little restaurant. Recommended the Crispy pork and Chinese brocolli.

Diner Review №184

This place is wonderful. Their food is good and I always order from here because they come quickly. They take care of their customers and I like the atmosphere of the restaurant too.

Diner Review №185

I was down with the flu but in the mood for Thai food so we found this place that delivered via Yelp. So we ordered from them - I got spring rolls, duck noodle soup while my husband got green curry chicken. Ooooohhhh we were not disappointed.

Food arrived in time. So I was happy about that.

Servings were big (for normal eaters) so we were able to save the leftovers for breakfast the next day.

Taste-wise, it's not super authentic Thai (we visit Thailand annually) but it's close enough and GOOD ENOUGH!

Krap Kuhn ka!
