Food was amazing and very very very very, very good the service was good to and I enjoyed the ambiance of the place

gina is a legend! 10 stars. I loved her. The food is phenomenal and her attitude and energy totally make the dining experience.

Had such a great experience at Civilized Thai! The Tom Yum soup was absolutely delicious--the seafood tasted so fresh, and the soup had the perfect balance of spicy, sour, and savory flavors. The restaurant has a cozy and welcoming vibe, which made the experience even better. A special shoutout to Gina for being so friendly, accommodating, and attentive. She made us feel very welcome! Definitely a place we'd come back to. Great food, cozy atmosphere, and wonderful service! read more

I ordered a lunch special (spicy drunken noodle) They gave me the regular menu, which had itself repeated in the folder. I had to ask for the lunch special menu, instead of them giving it to me with the regular menu. I ordered at 2:45p Saturday afternoon and dined in. They forgot the broccoli and I asked to add egg / tofu. They served the salad, spring roll separately. Weird. Food (tasty and fresh), service (friendly, and communication is not excellent, i.e. no apologies for missing an ingredient listed on the menu or why a one-course meal is served in three separate parts) and decor (intentional) get stars, hours are short on Saturday afternoon, early September, and prices are on the higher side for Thai, but I guess that's for inflation and location. Looks like they had lower lunch prices posted in another Yelp review three months ago. Neighborhood parking only; check signs, no dedicated parking. Layout: very small indoor seating - 20 seats max, not wheelchair accessible and not great for emergencies. Only one restroom, which is nicely decorated, gets loud music. read more

Tiny, friendly and quick to greet. 5): food is tasty and can be very spicy if you jump the heat to the second to top level. I have not eaten inside because it's too small but feels very traditional and I appreciate that. read more

I'm very particular with Thai food and most places, I already expect won't be as good. However, this place surprised me in all positive ways! I was first introduced this place from my friend. I've been here 3 times within the last month! It's that good! Every time I've come, I've ordered something different, and been in love with it each time! My favorite dishes include the chicken wings, pumpkin curry, and Khao soi! However, you really can't go wrong with anything! Additionally, their mango mousse cake is delicious! Service is good and fast too! The only con is parking as it can get tough on certain days but overall, it's great!! Love this place! read more

Kids were craving Thai food after a day at the museum. Somehow we found this little place and arrived right when they opened for dinner. Service was great and we were seated right away. Started off with the coconut shrimp. Was crunchy and flavorful. Kids liked it so much we had to order a second serving. Son wanted pad see ew as that's his default order at any Thai restaurant we go to. It was just okay. Would probably try something else if I return. The ribeye panang curry was delicious, enjoyed it. Wife got the papaya salad, she enjoyed it but said it wasn't spicy enough. Daughter ordered the tom kha soup with chicken as that is her favorite. It was really good and would definitely get that again. For dessert we had the mango mousse cake. That was also delicious. Highly recommend as we were very hangry when we arrived. read more

I came here after the good reviews but I'd say it's mid. I would rank it 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up. I had the pad see eww beef and the beef was super dry. Also had the panang curry chicken. Coming from the Bay Area there are better places where I live but this place is decent. I was surprised at the 5 star reviews. It's a cute little restaurant and was flavorful but the meats in the dishes weren't tender at all and just too dry for my liking. The lunch specials seem to be a hit with the locals here. Service was prompt. This isn't a must try but it was close to my hotel. read more

Civilize Thai Bistro - My sis and I just enjoying everything! - Thai Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

great service and everything was so fresh! It's a small little restaurant. We came at 4pm after their break time and there was no wait.

Okay yum!!! I'm always skeptical of Thai take out from new spots, but my friend said she got take out here and really enjoyed it! I ordered the pork jowl and panang curry with tofu (it comes with rice). The price is a lil expensive imo for Thai take out (approximately $18-20 each(. The restaurant kinda took forever to make it but it's fine. The panang curry was very well seasoned, mild spice was actually quite mild, lots of soft tofu, and a really nice thick curry texture! Lots of other spots will have a super thin and watery curry, so I was veryyyy pleasantly surprised when I ate it. Also im happy it comes with rice!! The pork jowl... probably a must order for me going forward. I wasn't even going to order it but I saw people posting pics here of it and it looked appetizing so I got it also. So GOOD. There's a yummy char on it, it's sooo tender and juicy and lil fatty. The jeow som sauce it comes with is also SO GOOD, great balance of sweet and sour. Definitely going to be my go-to place to order Thai when im feeling like splurging a bit! read more

This Thai restaurant has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that feels more like dining in a family home than a commercial restaurant. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience comfortable from start to finish. The food was good overall, though not particularly memorable. The curry was flavorful and easily the highlight of the meal, while the beef was a bit tougher than expected and could have been more tender. Everything was prepared well, but I felt there was still room for improvement in both flavor and execution. Overall, it's a pleasant neighborhood spot with warm service and a comfortable setting. I enjoyed my visit and would consider returning, but with a few refinements to the food, it could be much better. read more

Such a cute restaurant with pretty decor. The staff were so nice and friendly. The food was wonderful too. Street parking is also easy. We got the crispy chicken green curry which was so yummy. The medium spice has a nice kick to it and the chicken was moist and soft. We also got the chicken panang curry and got it spicy. It was nice and creamy, plus a little bit of sweetness and a good spicy flavour. The mango sticky rice portion was a little smaller than expected but I really liked that the sticky rice wasn't overly sweet and the mango was refreshing. Overall, the flavours for me are a little milder than what I would find in Thai town. But I liked this restaurant because the spices aren't too intense and still light yet full of flavours. Plus, the ambiance is romantic and chill. I would definitely go back to try other items on the menu. read more

There were lots of phone orders and people coming in the pick up food, and people waiting to get seated. Their service and food are top notch! read more

This is the perfect triangle of excellent food, service, and ambiance. You feel like you're somewhere else packed into this space with international music playing and cool Thai designs and neon lights. I had a pineapple duck curry and chicken skewers. The wife had the original pad Thai which looked phenomenal as well. The service was so kind and met our every desire. This is the best Thai in LA hands down. Another good one is in Redondo beach but nothing compares to this. Excellence is operative word here. Anything else Thai is uncivilized. Civilize Thai Bistro is also one of the very best places I've ever been and not just for Thai. Thanks and thank you to Gina and Noy. read more

Civilize Thai Bistro - Coconut Shrimp - Thai Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I've seen this place by walking past numerous of time but never been in. Until seeing loads of post on social media that actually gave me the pushed. We happened to be in the area for a couple of hours and with lunch approaching, might as well give it a shot. They also had a good lunch menu which was also a plus for the visit. There's street metered parking along little Santa Monica. I'm not sure if there's a parking lot that's affiliated with the restaurant. It's not that big with 2 tables with umbrellas outside. Inside, there's a good amount of tables but still not overly big. We opted for outside as it was quite nice. Menu wise, we just went with the lunch specials. 14.99 for the lunch option of whatever choices you like. A few curries dish, noddle dish, orange chicken and a few other items. Each comes with a side salad, rice (noddle dishes doesn't come with rice) and an egg roll. Potion wise was quite nice. Started off with the salad which the sauce was really tasty. Basic mixed green with like a Thai dressing. We had the chicken panang which was really good. The curry was very flavorful and with the right spicy count. And also the spicy drunken noodle with beef. Most place will include a chicken/ beef to the noodles. Here, chicken is included in the price but beef was 1.00 extra. Still pretty good and the right amount of spicy. You could tastes it. And the egg roll with the sweet dipping sauce to finish off the meal. The service was nice and the food was really good. Lunch menu wise. I'm sure if lunch was good, everything on the menu would be as well. I always love a noodle soup but I don't think they have any on the menu. Would I be back, that's a yes. We enjoyed our meal, the place was quite nice and people outside were great. read more

This restaurant totally surprised me! The staff was very polite, courteous, and attentive. The dining area was tight but arranged well. Outside sidewalk dining available. I happen to be working 3 doors down for the day and decided to give this place a try. I'm glad I did. I was told that they had only been open 8 months. But they're rocking it! I was surprised to see crying tiger on the menu and jumped on it. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare , as requested, served with fresh vegetables and the sauce was absolutely amazing. It may be one of the best crying tiger sauces I've ever had, and that includes Phuket! I was reminded of why I fell in love with crying tiger to begin with. This will be my go to Thai when in the area. read more

My wife and were in the area. We live in SCV. We love Thai Food and always love hitting up a new one. Although rarely we ever say anything bad about a place but what we do is tag a place for a revisit and Civilize is 100% that place. The service was great and friendly. The nice gal running the joint felt like mom checking on us to make sure we are happy. We had the wings, curry, fried rice, Pad Thai and Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. We wanted a few more items but that's next time for certain ! Thank you ! read more

Civilize Thai Bistro - Desert was also great ! - Thai Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

My Son was craving for Thai food and luckily we passed by this CIVILIZE THAI BISTRO . I searched it up right away on Yelp if they were good and so far their current rating is 4.8 stars in Yelp . We made a couple of rounds to find a parking 'coz mostly we saw side street parking and there's plenty of small eateries around as well, so we kinda had a hard time looking for a parking, but luckily we found one after just right in front of their restaurant. Theres a line when we came, the place is very small, probably 25 people for the indoor capacity and a few seating outdoors. Their Menu has a lot to choose from, but I ordered the following that I knew my Son will like, I ordered: *CRISPY TOFY DELIGHT *FRESH SUMMER ROLL (Shrimps) *PAD WOON SEN with CRISPY PORK BELLY *SNOW CRAB FRIED RICE *EGGPLANT & BASIL with CHICKEN *THAI BASIL SEAFOOD (KRA PAO) *DUCK PINEAPPLE CURRY *MANGO STICKY RICE We started with our Appetizer, the CRISPY TOFU, and the FRESH SUMMER ROLL. The CRISPY TOFU has a nice crisp to it, but without the sauce to dip it into it's too plain to eat, like no seasoning at all, I have had Crispy Tofu in other restaurants and it was very well seasoned. THE FRESH SUMMER ROLL was packed and tasty, I don't need the sauce that came with it 'coz it's already good as it is. SNOW CRAB FRIED RICE, this is very good and very flavorful, I recommend getting this! PAD WOON SEN with crispy pork belly, I think this one is the only one we didn't like much, the crispy pork belly on it was very tasty, but the noodles were bland. THAI BASIL with SEAFOOD (KRA PAO) oh this has big seafoods on it and the sauce on this one is so yummy. DUCK PINEAPPLE CURRY, I've eaten a lot of Curry, but this is my first time eating DUCK CURRY. This is actually pretty good, the duck is tender and the sauce was delicious, you're gonna need a lot of rice on this one 'coz the sauce itself is good already. EGGPLANT & BASIL with chicken, I stopped ordering this in Thai restaurants 'coz it's either it's too Oily or the eggplant is too soggy, but here the Eggplant is not overcooked, it's just done right and not soaked in Oil. For DESSERT we had the MANGO STICKY RICE, it's good, the same as other Mango sticky rices at any Thai restaurant. The SERVICE is on point, we had GINA as our server, she's a sweetheart, my Son said she reminded him of his AUNT 'coz she kept assisting my Son on getting the bowl of food, when my son will get a Curry she will come fast and move the rice closer to my son's side, as I said she's a sweetheart. The place is small, but we can taste on the food that they put their best into making it good, one thing we noticed the most was that all of their MEATS were well seasoned, as in every single Meat on our food was very tasty. If you are in BEVERLY HILLS and suddenly crave for THAI FOOD, then try this place, but as I mentioned at the beggining of my review this place is small, so have patience if there's a line. read more

The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. I had Padt Thai with tender chicken and plenty of egg. It was the perfect amount of sweet with a lime(optional)squeezed on top. The peanuts and bean sprouts gave it the perfect crunch. My son had the orange chicken. He wasn't interested in sharing it but he said he enjoyed it. They also give you an egg roll with the lunch portion. It also was hot and fresh. It only had vegetables in it but it was really good. They serve a salad first with a tasty Thai dressing. The server was very nice and attentive. It didn't take long to get our food so it's a great place to go for lunch. It is very small and quaint, but there is seating outside which will be nice in the summer. I live in the South Bay , but I will definitely make a trip back to Beverly Hills to eat here. It's not expensive either. read more
