Diner Review №1

This unassuming spot might be the best-kept secret for Thai food.
The decor is minimalist to the extreme—practically nonexistent.
But forget the ambiance, the food is where the magic happens.
Each dish bursts with authentic, vibrant Thai flavors.
Seriously, the taste is worth overlooking the lack of decor.
Generous portions and reasonable prices make it a great value.
The only slight downside? A mandatory 10% minimum tip. While tipping is customary, making it mandatory felt a bit off, I prefer to decide the tip amount based on the service.
Still, the food is so good, I'd happily return.

For the most part, overall the food was great and service the same but it's LOUD in there and the hollow ceiling makes for a very noisy place when you want to enjoy food and company.

Diner Review №5

Good Thai food but not exceptional either.

Diner Review №6

Really tasty Thai food. The happy pork (I think that's what it was called) appetizer was very good. Same for the crab Rangoons, so good. I enjoyed my beef fried rice with medium spice. Definitely recommend!

Diner Review №8

We’re obsessed. Cutest Thai place around and great service and food. Moo pung, Tom yhum, the herbal tea, the desserts, and the red curry are all great

Diner Review №9

One of the most customer focused restaurant i have been to. Genuine service. We had ordered garlic beans and we got garlic beans sprinkled with little anchovies. Once we clarified we wanted full vege option they immediately replaced that dish with full vege option with no extra charges. Highly recommend very genuine. Great ambience and great food.

Incredible. Best Thai I’ve had in months. The service is phenomenal- they are uncommonly kind, friendly, and accommodating. The food is outstanding and affordable for the area. I am vegetarian so I ordered the fried tofu and the pad thai with tofu- both were sooooo good. The drinks are top-notch, especially the matcha and Thai iced tea. I can’t wait to go back!

GF items clearly marked on menu. Good selection of curry, pad Thai and soups available GF. Spouse (no food sensitivities) had a couple a Singha beers and old fashioned fried rice, as well as the roti that was served with my meal. He said everything was delicious. I had green curry with a side of rice. It was wonderful- fresh, flavorful and very bright. Service was terrific. Small neighborhood ambience. In two weeks of traveling through CA, this is the best meal I’ve had, and at half the price or less of other restaurants we’ve visited. If we lived in LA we’d come here often. I cannot recommend Otis highly enough

Diner Review №16

Food here is overall very salty and the volume is too small. I’m a tiny person weighing less than 100lb and one meal or even two meals leave me still hungry. It’s half portion of other restaurants’ which means it’s very very expensive. Please consider increasing the portion. I’m writing this because if it’s less salty and with a little more volume I would come back/order more from this place. It’s not bad, but those two things make me turn to other restaurant.

Diner Review №17

Diner Review №18

Hard yes. Best pad thai and khao soi I've had in the US. Delicious. A lot of love in the food. Plus, with all the hipster things like skin contact wine and cold brew, it equals a no compromise experience.

I love it here! Great food, super clean spot, friendly staff! Feel happy and recharged everytime we come for food. Neighbourhood gem 💎

Diner Review №24

I love the food, service and atmosphere. It wasn't noisy and the food was not too strong flavor, so everyone was comfortable to eat. Pad thai was a little bit salty.

Diner Review №25

A friend of mine had been here a few times and always spoke about how delectable the meals were, so I had to try it for myself! This place makes for a very nice brunch spot with friends and with the quality service, you can really enjoy the atmosphere and music and vibe out! I began with the 'happy belly' their crispy prok belly with chili lime dipping sauce and let me tell you, that dish had the 'WOW' factor. The chili lime sauce was packed with flavor and the pork belly was crispy, yet so juicy; paired nicely with the sauce to make for an explosive experience! Additionally, I got the kai-kata which comes with coffee or orange juice, and similarly, it knocked my socks off. The bread was dense and soft, and the thai style egg really accompanied the dish and elevated all the flavors. The kai jiew bowl was the last item I got and it is a staple meal too have. It is perfectly cooked eggs over rice with a nice sauce on the side. The dish is simple yet great as it exists as a comfortable elevated meal.

Authentic Thai eats including fresh pad Thai that was cooked over a wok with delicious flavors! We loved the matcha latte and bear coffee latte! We also had the best mango sticky rice today at Otus!

I’m super bummed about this place because the service is great…If you like to get your food allergies ignored, this is the place for you. My partner got violently ill from the eggs we asked them to leave out in the pad thai…

Diner Review №39

Delishhhhh Thai food and natural wine! Lots of veg and pescatarian options. We found street parking out front on the weekend.

Diner Review №40

food was so horrible 😭 i ordered the pad kee mao and it had zero flavor. i sent it back and then i get the pad see ew. a bit more flavorful but it was BURNT😭 such a bad experience. the place is very aesthetic and cute but the food was just awful, idk if it was just a bad night but oh my god please go literally anywhere else this was the worst thai food experience i’ve ever had

This is not my first time here, and I’ve noticed this disrespectful behavior of the staff. But today they went completely out of line yelling at me something like “again no tip” like seriously. You sure you’ve found the right person to yell at? Good luck

An unlikely spot for the perfect brunch. Incredible Thai food, large drink selection. Love the staff and environment

Diner Review №53

第四次来这里了,主要是因为环境干净整洁,菜色也比较新派好吃,价格也算实惠,停车也不太难找,很适合约朋友来吃。
khao kao jiew就是炸蛋盖饭,还原度还挺高,味道很不错,就是配白饭有点没意思。
kai-kata招牌菜,必点。
street noodle还是好吃,但感觉面的分量小了很多啊。
roti就点基本款就好,配咖喱鸡不是很搭。

建议小费从22%开始建议,然后倒序排列,这个挺不友好的。给了午餐16%小费之后,感觉店员都冷漠了,不知道是不是错觉

Diner Review №54

Great Thai Food. Everything we eat it was delicious and tasty. Prepare to wait for your food. But it was totally worth it. Best Mango Sticky Rice I ever had.

The memory of this place lives rent free in my head.. I treasure the memory of a beautiful breakfast that hit the spot after a night out.. get the Happy Ribs!!

Diner Review №60

I only came here once as I don't live in LA. However, the food was great and the people were very kind. It's a plus that it was also kind of rainy that day as it made the ambiance very pretty. I would love to come back again one day.

Diner Review №61

That’s the best Thai food in LA. I tried a lot, but here is the best pad tai and Tom yum you can ever find

Diner Review №62

Food was amazing, but service is so so, we paid in cash, server started to complaining about the tips and stated to show that we supposed to leave tips according to the percentage mentioned in the bill 20,22,25 %. He ruined the whole experience. It was our second time there in 10’days, and I don’t believe we will be there soon.

Diner Review №63

I'm a huge fan Thai tea, and this was some of the BEST I've ever had..
Also the pork belly with the chille lime sauce was AMAZING

Diner Review №74

met up for dinner with a friend here on a friday night and got the tom yum soup with chicken and it was delightful! the flavors were really strong but balanced - the perfect ratio of sour and spicy. one of the best tom yum soups i’ve ever had in la! the inside of the restaurant is also super cute and ambient. the service was exceptional and the servers were so kind and checked in with us multiple times. would highly recommend this place!

Diner Review №75

We ordered Tom Yum mixed veggies, Som Tum crispy pork belly, Crispy pork belly, and It’s a joke. Which were so amazing, tasted very good and the place so perfectly I really recommend this place !!! 10/10

If you are looking for great Thai Food Otus is the place. My Wife and I love their food. It is consistently good. I highly recommend Otus Thai Kitchen.

Diner Review №79

Diner Review №80

It's a pretty small place but the food and beverages are very good. I love their Thai teas and Vietnamese coffee.

My favorite dish here, so far, is the street noodle. My husband is vegan and also loves this spot.

Everything is delicious and has a good amount of spice.

Diner Review №81

Second time here. The food is delicious. However, the portions are very small for the price. Spicy Basil Chicken w/side of rice is $19, $24 w/ tax and tip, for a super small portion. I was able to finish the entire meal myself and still have room. This never happens at Thai restaurants for me. I’m usually contently full, leaving with an additional portion for later.

The atmosphere is nice, it’s a cute spot for a date. However, not sure it’s a staple that I’d order from when craving Thai again. It’s too expensive for the portion size.

Decided to try something different for Sunday brunch and checked out Otus Thai based on pictures and other reviews. Wow, so glad we came here. The food quality and taste were amazing. I forgot to take pictures of the other items because I couldn’t help myself from just eating. I like to get pad thai at each Thai restaurant to do a comparison. I know each restaurant does it differently but Otus’s pad thai was one of the best I’ve had. Beyond the food, service was exceptional and very accommodating.

Diner Review №88

Stooped by for dinner, tried the safe choice of basil chili chicken and Chinese broccoli with chicken. As typical with Thai restaurants, had to pay for the steamed rice separately as it is not included (at Chinese, Indian etc restaurants it’s always included).
The food was below average, even for the safe chili basil dish.
The Chinese broccoli dish was outrageous: they were feeding their customers with the stalks, barely any broccoli florets check out attached photos. Don’t they know the stalks go in the garbage?! Stalks are considered waste especially at a restaurant at $20 a dish.
Service was average borderline inattentive.

Diner Review №89

Old fashioned Fried Rice my new favourite dish <3 ❤️ loved every bite of it !!! The place is a Must!!

Diner Review №90

Delicious food and great service. I’ll be back to try more menu items.

Diner Review №91

Exceptionally nice Thai restaurant. The menu was full of delicious options . The calamari for entree was cooked perfectly and the accompanying sauce was very tasty . The whole experience was wonderful.

Diner Review №92

Otus is a wonderful local spot. The dining room is well arranged using white/neutral colors making the space feel open and clean.
The service is unpretentious, friendly, and fast.
Another notable plus to Otus is their thoughtful wine list filled with natural and organic wines.
The food has good flavor, mild and balanced spice/heat, and quite simply tasty. Their is only one reason why it gets 4 stars instead of 5. All the meats were tough. The happy ribs were bite size with plenty of surface area making each piece vulnerable to overcooking, leaving the soft center sparse. The chicken in the Tom Kha soup was all white meat, thinly sliced and to no fault of its own, over-boiled by the broth. Finally we had the pad thai with crispy pork belly; while this was the most tender and crispy, there were still parts that were too chewy to my liking.
As I deliver this review I recognize that it may be unfair as the meats were possibly prepared as they should be, and my preference is influenced by a culture that glorifies medium/rare meat.

Diner Review №93

This is absolutely one one my favorite places in my neighborhood. Started coming here after things started to re-open. From my first visit, the own was very welcoming and explained the menu to us. Also made suggestions. Every time I visit, I literally leave with a happy belly. Hehe. I try to change things up and I always leave satisfied. I love the vibe inside but also the back patio area. Staff is always so friendly and other customers always seem like they are having a great experience also. They also have adult beverages. Hehe. Please have a meal here. You will not regret it. -@angelepatino

Diner Review №94

My wife really love this!

Diner Review №95

Not sure why there are all these reviews raving about the food here. I ordered the Chinese Broccoli with Beef, Spicy Basil Fried Rice, and Pad Kee Mao with tofu. The broccoli and beef was dry over a HUGE bed of white rice with a limited amount of what the dish was actually supposed to consist of, and only had broccoli stems in it. The Spicy Basil Fried Rice tasted burnt. The Pad Kee Mao was bland and flavorless. Overall there was a serious lack of flavor in all three dishes other than the burnt taste of the fried rice and I’m super disappointed. Somebody else said it was like a flight meal and that was exactly my experience!

This place is my go to when I feel like eating out. Everything on the menu is delicious and the service is excellent. I especially like the Brioche French Toast if I’m dining in the morning, it is out of this world. Pair it with their gourmet
Coffee, it’s a great way to start the morning. As for as lunch and dinner I tend to lean toward the Kai-Kata, Khao Man Gai and or the Happy Ribs. Can’t get enough of this restaurant. 5 stars

Our group was vegans and non-vegans and a dog: we liked every dish. Doggo loved the steamed chicken side which was a generous portion. Most of the menu items can be made vegan — just ask. I got the green curry and ate it ALL. Service was top notch. We sat in the back patio, which is on the smaller side: two picnic style tables that fit about 6 each and two couples’ tables. Overall not mind blowingly good but definitely good experience. Dishes were flavorful and filling.

Wonderful! If I can I will give 10 from 5.
Our dishes were prepared pretty fast, so we didn’t wait a long. The portion is so big, but it was so delicious that I didn’t want to leave any leftovers at my dish.
Waiter is so welcoming and friendly 🥰 Feels that you came not as guest but as friend.

Thank you very much! See you next time ❤️

They have a nice outdoor patio in the back.

They also only have two parking spots in the back of the restaurant.

So good—my favorite Thai restaurant in LA!!! And I have been to a LOT of them. It’s much more current and modern than most other Thai restaurants here, and more similar to younger restaurants in Thailand!

Delicious thai food with great, warm and attentive service. I had the khao soi with sliced chicken and loved it. Perfect flavour and great marinated chicken. Would definitely come back here. Also had a thai tea and enjoyed it. My friend got Tom Kha coconut soup and loved it.

Ok so this place is AMAZING. The best customer service and the food is to die for. We came at 8:20pm (they close at 9) and they were so welcoming. We ordered the Vietnamese coffee, crab pad Thai, pork pad Thai and garlic chicken street noodles and the mango sticky rice. All of the food was amazing but omg the mango sticky rice…. I’ll be dreaming about it for months until I come back 🥹🤍

This place is one of the top restaurants in LA. A must. Food is incredible every single time! Has been outstanding for years. 10/10.

Diner Review №136

Some of the best thai food in Hollywood and really nice drinks. Breakfast menu is great, especially eggs and chicken bowl. Service is friendly and same folks have been working here for years so feels like a family business that they are taking good care of. I love the ambiance and meeting up with people here especially when we discussing Creative Society projects. It’s a lovely place, their french toast is probably the most famous thing on the menu and if you never tried it here, it’s worth it. Great place overall.

Diner Review №137

We had a lovely dinner after a long hike here! The food was lovely, The restaurant was a little loud but still nice. (Yet, I could barely hear the person across from me!)
Thai fried rice was AMAZING - although I had it without egg - I really recommend it!
Need a nice dinner and are close? Go for it!
Unfortunately we didn't stay for dessert and instead went to the Ralph's next door for it. We just didn't have time to wait!

Diner Review №138

Our server was incredible, and the food was delicious. Our group got like 5 entrees and everything everyone had was so good. The Ga-Prao Basil and Chili Chicken was 🔥

The freshest Pad Thai. I adored the flavor of the dish, perfectly cooked noodles, and wonderful toppings. Friendliest waitstaff. Can’t wait to return when in West Hollywood. Had a Chai Latte post meal, was sweet and creamy.

Price: reasonably priced by LA standards but a bit pricey relative to other Thai restaurants.

Food: delicious food that was adjusted according to our requests (vegan and soft tofu instead of fried tofu) flavor was great, I only wish the pad kee mao had been a bit spicier.

Service: attentive and fast service, really welcoming and friendly.

Vibes: quite different from the interiors of other Thai restaurants, it’s more on the minimalistic side, but still a warm atmosphere.

Would definitely recommend!

Ordered this at the restaurant. It was delicious and a large amount of chicken. Ordered it to go, and got a box of rice... with a smattering of chicken & mushroom. The dish is not even supposed to come with rice. $16 for this? Are you serious? 2 stars because it is still delicious..

Just like a hidden gem. We ordered Kai-Kata, Steamed Basil Mussels, happy belly and Crab Fried rice. I forgot to take a picture of the crab fried rice but it smells so good. Everything is yummy. Love their attention to detail on food plating. Will come back to try other items on their menu.

Diner Review №170

Came to Otus on a friend's recommendation and really enjoyed it! We had a huge party (11) and Otus was able to accommodate us without any issues though we may have been a little overwhelming to start the morning...

I began with a pink latte which is a latte made with Thai sala syrup. The flavor profile is similar to strawberry milk but a little more floral. A couple friends went with bottomless mimosas but remarked that it wasn't too special.

For appetizers we shared the roti and Ms Dang's crispy fried rice. Both were honestly delicious! The roti was prepared like a banana fosters french toast with roti substituting the toast. It was crispy, buttery, and similar to fried bananas! As for the crispy rice, it was done very well! I've had versions that were way too dry and crispy or too tangy from vinegar and fermented pork but this hit all the right notes and the crunchy bites from the leaves of romaine paired perfectly!

For my main, I went with the Moo Ping and OMG the pork skewers were TO DIE FOR! They were marinated and grilled to perfection! The accompanying vinegar dip was a little bit too acidic for me though. I really liked the accompaniments of papaya salad and sticky rice. Both paired perfectly with the super savory pork! I also liked using the remaining dressing off the papaya salad to dip and accompany the rice as it wasn't nearly as strong as the vinegar.

I tried bites from my friends' dishes and some really hit! The happy chicken was a must order but the happy ribs is a miss. The chicken was so crispy yet so juicy but the ribs were clearly over fried and so dry. The kai kata is unique! Getting a bite with the baguette, ground pork, Chinese sausage and creamy egg is really something to experience at least once!

Among the rest of my friends (aka the other side of the table), reviews were mixed. Both friends that ordered the shitake chicken rice bowl mentioned that it was a little bland but the one that ordered khao kai jiew gave it a thumbs up. There were also two thumbs up for the the "it's a joke" jook. By far the worst menu blunder though was the tofu street noodles. My friend said that there was zero flavor. He tried to fix it with a lot of sambal and then soy sauce but it wasn't until we ordered some peanut sauce ($3) that he finally enjoyed his meal.

Our entire meal with gratuity came to about $370. I'd say it's safe to plan that your meal will average about $25 with drinks.

Diner Review №171

Very rude I politely them to take drinks out bag so I can securely deliver the drinks because it will spill in the bag when I deliver in my motorcycle been doing for 2 years and I know what will happen and was very rude and refused to remove the drinks saying it won't spill then precedes to flip a drink in front of me and it started slipping

Our go to Thai spot. Everything I’ve had has been amazing. Love the crispy rice on fire. A must have if you like spice!

Diner Review №191

Great food here no matter what time of day. They've got all day breakfast and fantastic options including meat free ones. The omelette (khao kai jiew) is my new favorite way to enjoy an egg!

Diner Review №192

Authentic and delicious Thai food with attentive service and relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

Diner Review №193

This is our favorite Thai restaurant. My wife and I have taken everyone who has visited us, and they all ask to go back upon their next visit. Good service, tasty food, great prices, and we always leave full without huge American portions. Staples include curry, Thai fried rice, moo ga tiem pork, street noodles, pad Thai, and pad see ew (although the last one hasn't been as good the past few visits). They have a small part in the back if you'd like to eat in the fresh air but we always eat inside. The corkage fee is also reasonable.

Surprisingly disappointed! Super dry chicken. Last time eating here.

Way better than another Thai place I tried nearby. Lovely atmosphere, the server was fantastic, and the food was yummy. They even accommodated to my extremely white and wimpy self when I asked for no spice in my noodles. Top notch experience.

It was an awesome time we had there. Friendly and fast service with tasty food on top. And they had sticky rice with Mango. My favorite

Diner Review №200

Always amazing food!! They have tons of options for the Gluten free and vegan folks out there and if you wonder if it can be either of those, just ask. The prices are slightly higher than other Thai places in the area, slightly smaller portions but always portions that are filling…plus the flavour of the food plus the freshness always makes up for it. Highly recommended!!
