Set in a strip mall, this casual eatery serves traditional Thai curries, stir-fries & noodle dishes.
I would put Atmosphere a 6 if I could because it is just so nice inside this place. I got the Yellow Curry. Ive eaten Thai food all around the world! This is definitely good food and I enjoyed it. This is one of the few times the Curry didnt have onions in it. I dont mind it either way, just be aware that it will only have potatoes and carrots in the curry. I also got the gyoza, pretty standard there. Came with eel sauce instead of the typical gyoza sauce which i actually perferred. I enjoy the thickness and sweetness of eel sauce. Pad Thai came with plenty of noodles but the flavor of the pad thai sauce just wasnt there. No crushed peanuts on the dish. I think its okay, could just use some "fine tuning."
Really clean. Great decor and vibe. The food was delicious..I got massamun curry and it was so good. Best choice in the neighborhood.
2019.01-17/1145: This restaurant is excellent. The staff here is great, too. Even the drivers are really nice. Their food is delicious. I can't get enough of the Papaya Salad, Pad See Ew, Pad Kee Mao and their Gyoza and the Gyoza dipping sauce. Do yourself a favor and order extra dipping sauce. You'll want to put that stuff on everything! I have yet to try anything else because I can't get over how delicious each entree I've ever had is. I've ordered delivery from work and from home, no matter - our food always arrives STEAMING hot and earlier thank expected. For a while I've had to ween myself off of them but I'm back again! Definitely a must try! Just thinking about this is making me want to order them again! If not, it's okay, I'll be ordering Tuesday, for sure!
I ordered the papaya salad (medium spice), beef pad see ew, and 2 teas to go. The salad was quite tasty, but absurdly spicy even at medium level (be warned!) and the serving size was good. The pad see ew was very tasty, but the portion was SO small! (You can see in the photo the takeout container was filled half way) It was easily half the size of any other Thai restaurant out there. I was expecting a lot more food for a nearly $40 check.

I did not use a third party company delivery service. My bill came to $32.63 + tip, which amounts to over $35 (aka: nearly $40)
It’s great to know that everything is organic, but no one uses MSG anymore, so I feel like that’s just a basic standard. I would more than gladly have paid $15 instead of $11.95 for the Pad See Ew if that had meant a normal sized portion.
I don’t appreciate whoever replied to me saying how I should or should not have written my review. It was accurate and truthful.
This food nasty no taste at all rice not cook enough I ordered seafoods spicy rice but I barely see Seafood on my order I make this order from north hills via uber eat I wait 45 minutes and got this nasty food not even close to thai food taste panda express better than this 😑I just order first time today this place and it's going to be last time too 🙄
I don't advise normal people, this restaurant has no right not to work like this, they can't communicate with customers, they can't provide normal service
Chose to dine at Swan Exotic on a whim because the Thai Temple (my girlfriend wanted to visit and dine at) was closed due to ongoing renovations.
Turned out to be one of the best decisions made for food! Haha. The atmosphere was cozy. The restaurant and restroom was neat and clean.
The hostess and her hospitality was excellent! We were a traveling party of 11 and she graciously accommodated us all without issues.
The food was delicious! Portions are generous compared to other Thai restaurants at home. Pricing is reasonable as well.
All I can say is after spending an entire day bearing the humid air and scorching sun, ending the evening here to enjoy delicious food, ice cold drinks, wrapped up in the warm welcoming atmosphere, was one of the best moments of our trip.
I definitely will be back if I'm ever in the area, and will be referring friends and family here too!

The best food in North Hollywood
Really clean. Great decor and vibe. The food was delicious..I got massamun curry and it was so good. Best choice in the neighborhood.
Absolutely horrible!!! Got DoorDash of orange chicken it didn’t loook like advertised it was black and burnt. Small portions no rice and over priced! HORRIBLE
Food has made me sick.
I think it was the chicken gyoza. The red curry didn’t taste right either and I ended up throwing most of it away. Good thing because I’m sick enough from the gyoza

Food is terrible and the service horrible, the restaurant is empty all time, I went to ask for a popular plate on Thai restaurants, and one of the service person, told me that they don't have that plate, and with a very bad attitude was sending me to panda express.
Food is great and tasty, affordable, atmosphere is good just a little dark inside the restaurant.
The food was delicious, the service was amazing and the ambience was exquisite.
My favorite Thai place!!!! Great people and the food is amazing!

Love the food here. My wife and I used to enjoy stopping in for Lunch on weekends b4 the pandemic. Look forward to going back. Only knock would be the beef quality and some apps are not up to par. If they could improve that, this would be a top notch place. But that said, everything else is delicious and always friendly service.
Came today for the first time with my kids and husband. We ordered the seafood soup, pineapple rice, some noodles called something like "old thai shrimp noodles" or some like that, and Mongolian beef, and for drinks thai tea and hot tea. We're all more than pleased with the food, everything tasted fresh and delicious, the beef was a bit salty for my taste but I guess white rice will pair perfectly with it. Also, they brought our food really fast, maybe because we were the only ones in the restaurant or they're just that fast, but they're outstanding. Even the drinks were great, we fell in love with the hot tea, wasn't bitter as most of hot tea I've tried. I totally remember this place. Plenty of parking as well.
Customer service - personable, funny, attentive and great attitude. The best thing is that you’re able to eat great food with customer service that makes you smile.
Food - 6/5 stars. It looks very professional, it tastes exquisite, and it’s fresh and mouth watering! Honestly, the food here makes me dream of the next time I’m gonna be there..
To the public, if you’re considering eating here - do it. It’s not like writing a movie review and telling you it was good. Take a bite and you’ll agree that this place is great.
Good food. Prices are fair. My family and I agreed the portions were on the lesser side.
CORDIAL BUT, TOO EXPENSIVE COMPARED TO OTHER THAI RESTAURANTS ,& SMALLER PORTIONS THAN OTHER THAI RESTAURANTS ,SO THEY ARE GETTING THE CUSTOMER ON BOTH ENDS.
The food was flavorful and fresh. The server was sweet and attentive. We will most certainly go back.
Mmmmm yum yum love it

This is probably the best Thai food I have tasted in my life. It is great!
Great place to have dinner prices not cheap but good food
Petit restaurant, ambiance très agréable, jolie décoration, prix très abordables, et excellent repas ! Je recommande.
Best Thai food ever! Service is also the best !
We live in Orange County and we always go there because they have best food and best service !
*THIS RESTAURANT HAS A B RATING THAT THEY HIDE INSIDE * went into this restaurant on Friday looking to have dinner but first has to use the rest room. I politely ask the waItress what the code is to which she says "heh paying customers only", to which I reply, "we're looking at the menu", she than say "kitchen closed!!" EXTREMELY RUDE WAITRESS AND WILL NOT BE GOING HERE, THERE'S A MUCH BETTER THAI PLACE A BLOCK UP ON SHERMAN WAY AND ETHEL WITH AN A RATING
Good Thai food. Some servings are a bit small... Or I just wanted more!
Great food.very friendly

This place is amazing! Best Thai food I have had in a while. The crying tiger was so tasty!
I like that place. The food is really good.
Good food
Food was good and price was reasonable. Nice staff.
Curry is good!
Great
Food was good and the price is reasonable
Absolute worst Thai Place too eat I'm LA period seriously, you are better off. The portions aren't what they look like, and for sure the workers don't like people of color, absolutely no service, server was sitting at another table watching Netflix. Told the server the experience wasn't great and she just said okay and walked away, then had the audacity to start talking too her coworker in another language and they give us dirty looks. You're seriously better off. Please don't waste your time.
Muy buena experiencia ambiente 10
Great food!!
This is a must to visit place for Thai restaurant in North Hollywood. They serve famous Thai dishes and owner is so nice. Recommend everyone to check this out then you will know what taste of Thai.
Very good.
This food nasty no taste at all rice not cook enough I ordered seafoods spicy rice but I barely see Seafood on my order I make this order from north hills via uber eat I wait 45 minutes and got this nasty food not even close to thai food taste panda express better than this 😑I just order first time today this place and it's going to be last time too 🙄
So good! Clean, fresh, prompt and polite! I will be back!!!
It's not a strip club but good food
Perfect everything. Commonly used for delivery or take-out but the inside is amazing and clean! The inside looks really good. The food is always great and even tastes good delivered. I recommend going inside if you haven't been. Also a great value as the prices are just right.
Tom Kha Gai soup is Pure I get the Soup No Chicken instead I add Mushrooms and Bamboo shoots. Thai Tea is Smooth, combination of Exotic Flavors as The Name Will Indicate Swan Excotic Thai. Perfect for Rainy Days beautiful establishment and Supereb Staff I will be a Reapeat for years to come!
Their pad see ew is pretty darn good. Arguably the best out of the other Thai joints nearby!
Best thia food in the valley highly recommend.
Delicious!!!
Best pad see ew. The pork here is also very flavorful. So cute and relaxing inside. Staff is very polite.
It is one of the best thai food that I have tasted.. and they are really friendly.!!
The food was amazing and they brought it quick, only downfall was it's limited menu of vegetable Thai dishes but it was cool of them to vegetableize the dishes I got that were supposed to have meat. I wish they had an eggplant dish.
Been coming to this place since i was a little kid and we havent found a place like it ever since. They often recognize me and my mother especialy this one man who brings her her favorite candies from the little candy jar. This place will always be my favorite. The food is always great and the staff is nice and friendly. The decor is very homey and beautiful especially compared to the area. Keep at it Swan!!!
I disagree with Andrew. This place has the best quality . The staff is not very attentive, I agree. They are a small family run business trying their best to make the end meet. There is a long wait but believe me it's worth it. I have never tried Thai food this tasty anywhere else.
Highly recommended.
Really good Thai food. I suggest the crying tiger.
Love this place takes me back to Thailand ..
I would give it zero stars if I had the option. Panang curry came with nothing but tofu and broth...when I called to discuss there was never of a consideration of including rice or veggies....terrible...BOO Swan
The food is decent, but the staff is typically inattentive. There are multiple thai places around and while this one is "pretty" the food isn't on par with the competition. Make food requests and maybe 1 in 4 the do it. If you're on a date it looks the part, just make sure your date has limited thai food experience and you'll be fine.
Taste ok not bad .
Place great !
Service ok so so .
Have to service mind ..more
Price ok abit experience compare with quality& quantity.
Try it
U might like
Just my opinion 😀
Best Thai Food Ever!
Awsome Thai food. I recommend the Swan Roll!
Awesome food and nice clean restaurant!
Excellent family restaurant
The owner is sweet and lovely
The atmosphere is great, food is authentic and great tasting.
I purchase (2) orders of shrimp pad thai and it was disappointing. The shrimps are small and the noodle portion were as well. Not worth $23 and some change. So very SAD. Back to my favorite thai place in Northridge
Good authentic thai food!
I love the food and the services great
Great food. Once inside, the warm wood decor and contemporary styling makes you forget you're in a strip mall! Staff is gracious, friendly and courteous.
The best Thai Restaurant in Town. You haven't Had Thai Food Yet. This Place has the tastiest Dishes in town. The flavor is so rich. The restaurant in the inside is wonderful. Best Restaurant for a Date or to go with the family or Friends. Try the Thai ice tea! Happy Eating.
Great food, fun environment, friendly wait staff, good prices!
Great I like the food very original
Best Thai food in town! Consistently good. Super fast, reliable delivery!
I order out a couple times a month. The arey thoughtful enough to ask "how spicy"? I have never had a Thai restaurant do this.
It's been a while since I've been to Swan. Since the cook change was the last time, which was over a year ago. Food was good, but not the best as it used to be. I recommend the papaya salad, if Bon (the owner) makes it. Bon makes every visit worth every penny.
It's been a while since I have had a chance to eat here due to budgeting strains, but when I did go, the food always hits the spot! Bon is a great owner, very friendly to everyone that goes in! I recommend the pad thai or pad see ew if you like noodles. Papaya salad is a must have with any meal!
By far my favorite place to enjoy a well prepared and inexpensive Thai meal.
The staff is always very welcoming and make you feel at home. They also deliver in the local area very fast and easy.
Although the place is small the food has big taste. Anything from the menu will not disappoint you.
It feels like you are at home and welcoming atmosphere.
I go there quiet often
Amazing food , really fast delivery best Chinesse food in the area .
