    pad thai, green curry

    They have such good lunch specials and daily specials its soooo worth it. The thai tea is legit tooo. The vegetables are also soo fresh. Only street parking is available tho

    Man, I'm not sure what happened. Jaopaya used to be my go to! This last time they really dropped the ball. My order was wrong and the pad Thai had absolutely no flavor. I even had my husband try it because it was so weird that it didn't taste like anything at all, only oil. Also, no shrimp like I ordered (and paid extra for). Tom yum was good, but had like four pieces of chicken in it which was disappointing. Maybe it's because I ordered takeout later in the evening? Regardless, this was a complete miss for me. Maybe dine in is better? Not sure I would order takeout here again. Pretty disappointed :(

    My son always orders from here for delivery. So I decided to try it out with my mom. Place is clean, lady is nice & friendly and food is very good! Cant wait to come back and try more dishes.

    Pad Thai with Shrimp
    Helen C.

    When you're in the mood for a delicious, quick meal, the pad thai with shrimp from this restaurant is a sure bet. The bits of egg included were delicious and I ordered the dish medium spicy. There was a perfect blend of sweet and savory, with a substantial portion that was enough for two meals. I also enjoyed a thai tea along with my dinner. It was a nice addition and was delivered without ice, which meant it did not get watered down before I was able to enjoy it. The amount of sweetness in the drink was perfect. This will be one of my regular restaurants to order from, due to the convenience and the large portions.

    Got a take out. It was so bad I'm not sure if it was intentional or by mistake, because literally everything we got tasted like someone dropped the salt shaker by accident and spilled half of it inside. I have never tasted something more salty. Every dish was literally nothing, but salt.

    Got the spicy noodles, egg rolls & fried wontons with Jasmine tea. The place is cozy & small with over a dozen tables inside, parking in the back & on the street. The lady was nice & food was hot , with yummy flavors. The spicy noodles were actually spicy & really good. Wontons were crunchy & fun to eat & so were the egg rolls. The cream cheese wontons were bomb. Hot , crunchy & flavorful.

    The blandest, most tasteless Pad Thai I have ever had.

    I have ordered through DD several times, and this last time was a disaster. The pad Thai was literally tasteless. Not kidding--it was like they forgot the sauce! I have attached a photo to demonstrate that the dish looks great, but look at the color--there is no flavoring at ALL in the dish. Zoom in on the noodles - lots of oil, but that's it. Have you ever seen Pad Thai that lightly colored/sauced? I haven't. Completely tasteless. I have had a *lot* of Thai food, and obviously Pad Thai and Pad See Ew are the litmus tests. This was the worst Pad Thai i have ever had. I will not be ordering from here again.

    D2. Pad Thai Chicken and Shrimp Dinner Special

    We can here craving some Thai food for dinner. My girl friend and I had experienced their food before but through another friend of ours who recommended we order to go and we would just eat at their place. So after remembering where they were located, we decided to go. We came in hungry and ready to eat. We looked at their menu and decided to order the Dinner combination of pad Thai chicken and shrimp, pad see ew, red curry and combination fried rice. The food was so good!!!! All three of us were silent eating our food because of how good and tasty it was. The food came out really warm and ready to eat. Once we got all our food we just dove right in. We kept eating and even forgot that we ordered their Thai tea. The lady who was serving everyone was so nice!!! We were patient of course do to her being the only waitress/waiter. When she finished taking our order, she even have us looked over our order on the pad she was writing on to make sure it was right. And we definitely appreciated that. She also walked around a lot to make sure the customers and us were doing well. She even refilled our waters and Thai teas!!! She was amazing!!! At the very end, I was so full that I finally had time to look around and appreciate the decorations they had. Right above our table there were cute elephants. And I love elephants!!! The place was amazingly decorated. They do their best to keep it clean for sure!!! You can tell with the atmosphere of the place. This place is definitely a great secret place to eat at when you are wanting to eat Thai food at any given time. Looking forward to come back again to eat here and try other dishes!!!

    Chicken fried rice
    Camille R.

    Mom, Auntie, and I were at a community event in Reseda on St. Patrick's day, and while walking the boulevard, we passed by a few restaurants. I was feeling Thai so I picked this place. It's was a cozy place with Thai art and decorations. The lady greeted us so gently and sweetly, I was sure it was gonna be a great meal. We ordered chicken satay, pad thai and chicken fried rice. Most pad thai's I've had get dry fast, then it's not so good. Their pad thai sauce was a little runny, but I liked it that way. It coated the noodles better. The fried rice was the blue ribbon of all the dishes. So much flavor! No soy sauce needed! I'm from the San Gabriel Valley, but if I'm ever in Reseda again, I'm making a beeline here!

    Sergio G.

    I came here for lunch and tried the pad see ew--absolutely delicious! The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the flavor was rich and savory. You can really taste how fresh everything is. The restaurant itself is super clean and well-kept, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back!

    Steamed vegg dumplings
    Angel G.

    They say intuition is a thing. I drove by many times, but something always made pass by, I guess that was my Angel... So, I ordered delivery . Let's begin: 1. No utensils 2. No napkins 3.No soy or spicy sauce Moving on to food. I have no complaints about steamed dumplings. Although, they were a big overdone. Pad Thai, as good as it looks disappointed me. The noodles itself were good. Good combination of traditional sweet/sour . Mets were bad. Chicken was -1 ( minus ) of taste. Like eating a rubber. Beef was with a bit of flavor but it was extremely chewy , like the worst cuts of meet, the worst ... Shrimp is shrimp , nothing to say there. On the good note, not greasy and no taste of old oil, felt pretty light. It's not bad, it's ok. 2 dishes $28 before tax. Would I do it again, I don't think so. But the meal didn't ruin my day. It's ok...

    Spicy noodles with chicken. Would recommend, good flavor and spicy.

One thing to note: they open late--12:30 PM. Parking was easy, and there's a decent amount of seating inside. I happened to be the first customer of the day. Don't expect the warm, smiley Filipino hospitality right away--just head straight to the counter and place your order on the iPad. As for the halo-halo, it's definitely not your traditional version. It wasn't bad by any means, but it's quite different from the halo-halo I grew up with and the ones I enjoy whenever I visit Manila. If you're looking for a modern take on the classic dessert, you may appreciate it more than I did. Prices are pretty standard for Los Angeles, and they accept Apple Pay, which is always a plus.

I haven't tried them, but I know for sure they're really good like my mouth is drooling for these right now. the place. 5 STARS!!!!!

    What a cute Vietnamese restaurant!!!…read more I love the beautiful outdoor seating amongst the greenery and lanterns with the Vietnamese clubbing music. Takes me back to Vietnam for a little bit. They have a simple menu but make everything well. I enjoyed the chicken wings with steamed rice. The wings were so good. A bit crunchy, very juicy, the sauce was sweet and savory. There was a ton of garlic and jalepeno. It was so delicious. And the steamed rice paired beautifully. The texture of the rice was so good. My partner had the chicken pho and shaking beef with garlic noodles. He enjoyed them both. He said the chicken was very tender and juicy. The noodles with the beef was his favorite. We both got pandan mung bean drink and fried bananas of course. The fried banana takes time to make, but worth the wait. It's so crunchy! Can't wait to come back to try the rice cakes next time.

Bingsu/Korean shaved ice is a regular fave of mine but they tend to be very dairy-based and it can be difficult to find a place w/ something similar in texture and that has dairy-free options. And this place has just that. This is the perfect spot for those looking for more fruit-centric refreshing flavors or even the sweet pastry-inspired dessert selections! A small portion of water ice is approximately 3-4 sizable scoops! And a small portion of the gelati (water ice + soft serve) specialty is approximately the size of a McDonald's parfait. My partner got the summertime (strawberry, cherry, watermelon(?) flavor and I got the peach cobbler inspired cup with gelati. I was hoping they'd have the apple pie one but it wasn't listed on the menu when we were there. Regardless, still a very tasty and amazing treat to cool down with! Service was helpful and you're welcome to try samples of anything. Was very shocked to see that employees manually swirl/mix flavors while scooping rather than have tub with pre-swirled flavors. I'm sure that takes some skill! Ambiance is very fun with lively and colorful decor. The music on the speakers can be pretty loud esp the further back into the store you're sitting at. 5000000% would go here again, would love to try the other flavors and maybe have a bigger portion when I have more stomach room bc it was that good I almost wish we had dinner elsewhere right after instead or before LOL!
