    Pad Thai and Crying Tiger
    Dewi A.

    Unassuming from the outside but cozy and intimate on the inside. The wait staff are all Thai and friendly and efficient. The food here is delicious -- there isn't one thing on the menu that doesn't tantalize the tastebuds. My personal faves are the Pad Thai (so moist with plenty of shrimp and tofu), the beef panang curry (super flavorful), and any of the soups is spot on. Plenty of free parking in the lot or in the garage. Don't delay, visit Jetta today!

    Vegan Glass Noodle

    The restaurant offers a cozy and elegant atmosphere, with comfortable seating arrangements and warm lighting that adds to the overall dining experience. I also appreciate the vegetarian and gluten-free options available for anyone with dietary restrictions. ..... VEGAN GLASS NOODLE WITH TOFU: 4/5 decent dish, liked that they had a lot of veggie toppings - but I do think the flavor is a little on the milder side

    Went to this Thai restaurant on a saturday afternoon, we actually went 30a minutes after opening time of the restaurant, but still it felt like it was not completely open for dining. There were no one at the reception, after few minutes a lady came out and asked us to sit wherever we want. She didnt greet us or anythi g. We ordered the food and it did come out relativelyfast.the taste was ok but i have definitely had much better ones. The quantity is also compared to many other thai places. The plates given were pretty small to eat comfortably. The seating and space is cramped. Overall we are not satisfied and we might not come again.

    This place is a cute, friendly lil spot that's perfect to come for dinner and catch up with some friends. I found this place on Yelp wanting to try more restaurants in this area and was pleasantly surprised! It's in a lively, vibrant plaza with lots of other restaurants. There is a parking lot in the plaza but it was full when I got there (luckily someone left as I was about to exit the plaza). The restaurant itself was a cute, quiet spot. Plenty of seating inside and out, great/ fast service, and good food. I got the yellow curry not spicy, since I don't feel confident in my spice tolerance, but it was still great and had a lot of flavor! My friend got pad see ew which was good as well. Another thing I wanted to note was the beer was so cheap! We got the Singha which is a Thai lager and it was so light, crisp and refreshing (and only $5 for draft!)

    Fried Crab Fried Rice with fried egg
    Rachel C.

    Came with coworkers for a team dinner and they were able to easily accommodate a party of 10. The restaurant has a nice interior and is tucked in a plaza. Parking out front or in small underground lot. Service was fast. I got the crab fried rice with fried egg instead of scrambled egg and the runny yolk complemented the slightly sweet and very fragrant rice nicely. Though it's on the pricier end at $18, it is so delicious that I'll be coming back for it. Papaya salad was also really good because of the refreshing sauce that they use.

    Refreshing Friday evening beer.
    Sharon P.

    We beat the Friday night crowd by about 10 minutes which meant we found a parking spot only steps away and we were seated immediately. We noticed the beer tower right away - a good idea if you have more than 2 beer drinkers or heck, maybe 2 can tackle the tower, who am I to judge? Except for a forgotten chili/hot sauce refill, service was pretty terrific. Swift, friendly and helpful. In my opinion the portions are smaller than a number of the Thai spots we frequent - this didn't pose a problem though, I kind of enjoyed not having loads of leftovers. The menu isn't as extensive as other spots, but the options are decent and we didn't have any issues filling our bellies. We enjoyed the chicken satay which was tender and delicious with some of the best peanut sauce I've tasted in a while. The veggie egg rolls were served nuclear hot and eaten with the sweet sauce, a dollop of hot sauce and a sprinkling of the cilantro were super tasty. The coconut shrimp were tasty dipped into the sweet sauce though next time we'd likely order the Thai wings - they looked delectable as the table next to us devoured them. We ordered a couple of bowls of Tom Kha with chicken, he ordered level 5, I ordered 2 but I should of ordered 5. Soup was quite tasty, but I sort of missed the hot pot service - I rather like ladles of piping hot soup over and over again. I had the the garlic pepper chicken with steamed broccoli and with a few shakes of soy sauce and some chili sauce, was a yummy choice for me. Our friend had the Pad See Ew which was at first a little different, the texture of the noodles takes some getting used to (we're an al dente crowd), but again with some soy and chili the dish grew on her. The Glass Noodles with shrimp, mushrooms, cilantro was the most underwhelming entree. This one simply wasn't bold enough for my spice loving guy...no amount of ginger or chili redeemed this dish for him. He packed most if his entree for home and is looking forward to making a brothy soup abundant with veggies and spice to make a 2nd meal for himself. I'm not a fan of either flat egg or glass noodles and I prefer much more veggies so these dishes were a miss for me - they didn't taste bad, they were just underwhelming. Overall the food was good, but we'd likely only visit again if we were in the area.

    Chicken satay
    Elaine T.

    I went to Jetta when they first opened in El Segundo, and I am very happy to find that they are still one of the better Thai restaurants in the South Bay. Chicken Satay for $10 is a classic Thai appetizer and they do it well here, with nicely marinated skewers and an earthy peanut sauce. I love rice noodles and their pad see ew for $14 was a good rendition without the greasiness that many places serve up on their plates. I enjoyed the glass noodles with shrimp for $21 as a light dish that is still fulfilling enough to satisfy.

    What I like about this place is that they offer different types of spice levels and thai being the spiciest. I got the Panang beef at their spiciest and I really enjoyed it. I didn't think it was too spicy but that was a personal opinion other people thought it was too spicy they don't give you the option to ask for extra chili on the side. I thought the beef is very flavorful and well seasoned the spice and the flavors of the broth/soup brought everything together. For me this is my favorite dish. I thought the Pad kew mow noodles we're also extremely flavorful and having it along side the panang beef was great. The Shrimp had great flavor and the noodles werent to oily compared to other places overall the plate itself has so much flavor. I would definitely recommend this dish. I thought the Thai tea was pretty good standard Thai tea flavor. I just wish they glasses were bigger haha Now my least favorite things were the appetizers I just felt like the underperformed. The fried shrimp wonton had no flavor so it was a bit disappointing. But my least favorite were the wings I thought they were way too salty and unfortunately one of the wings was still undercooked/raw. So if I wouldn't have had the appetizers I felt like I wouldn't have missed out on anything.

    I never write a 1-star review on a Thai restaurant. But, this place deserves it. I am a self-proclaimed "Pad Thai" expert in that it's the only dish I ever order in a Thai restaurant. I began by asking the server for a large portion because I had not eaten all day. (I offered to pay extra, as well.) In any respectable restaurant, a server would say "SURE, no problem". But, not at Jetta Thai. She told me "NO, it comes in one size only!" So, I hoped for the best. When it arrived, it was served in a soup bowl. It looked like the portion you would expect on a "Child's Menu". But, I was hungry, so I dug in. I have never been disappointed in a Pad Thai recipe before today. These were not Thai Noodles, which are flat like Fettuccine. These were like Spaghetti noodles AND there was TOFU in it. Who puts Tofu in Pad Thai? Still being hungry, I was going to order another item to-go, but she just approached me and set the final bill on my table! This woman is the worst server I ever experienced! So in summary, we have a server who tells her customers "NO", we have child's portions, we have the wrong noodles and Tofu added, and she didn't care to offer me anything else from the menu, before bringing the bill. There is another place called "Siam Bay Cuisine" right around the corner. They are amazing! I would have dined there, but they don't open until 4pm. I highly recommend dining there instead.

    Pad Thai
    Franklin M.

    We were hungry for dinner and in the mood for spicy food. I ordered my favorite Pad Thai spicy hot, vegetable rice, Thai tea, and Thai soup extra spicy. The portions were not big but the flavor was just right. The Pad Thai had a different style of noodles but was full on flavor. I started with the soup which was a bit too watery for me but those big shrimp and the spicy heat level had my mouth on fire.

    Yellow Curry (vegan) w/veggies and brown rice for (+ $2)
    Holly S.

    Main street's best restaurant. Mina provides excellent service and she, along with the rest of the staff make you feel like you are family. Yellow curry (vegan) with veggies and brown rice is excellent. Love the detail that is put into chopping/slicing the veggies. Portions are the perfect size and not over-abundant. The curry had the perfect texture and creaminess compared to some places where the curry is water-like. I was so impressed with the first visit that I returned the very next night. I stuck with the yellow curry, but opted for a side of broccoli (extra charge) instead of rice. The portion was as big as the serving of curry and was steamed perfectly! I also ordered the tofu appetizer. It was very lightly battered and crispy when served. Can't wait to return.

    Mango sticky rice, fried banana wraps and coconut ice cream.
    Ha L.

    I was wandering in El Segundo downtown after eating dinner and looking for a dessert place. I saw this Thai restaurant and gave it a try. I ordered three desserts: mango sticky rice, fried banana wraps and coconut ice cream. They came out beautifully garnished and decorated. The taste is mouth watering as well. I have to say their coconut ice cream is a bomb, it's one of the best coconut ice cream I've ever tried. It has some nuts, coconut meat and jelly mixed in the ice cream which created a very deliciously unique taste. The price is cheap, like $9 each dessert plate. I will take my friends and family to this place. Highly recommended.

    Crispy Shrimp Wonton
    Amber T.

    I came here to have dinner with a friend and really enjoyed my stay. I ordered the glass noodles and we both shared the Thai wings. We didn't have to wait too long for our hot food which was good. During each bite I absolutely loved my glass noodles! The Thai wings were listed as a staff recommendation so I was under the impression that they were going to be one of their best items. To me they were just okay though. It was a bit of a let down but at least I had my glass noodles. The ambiance was very nice, it was cold in there but the server was nice enough to turn the AC off. The service was also pretty good. They did not over do it with checking in nor did they do minimal checking- it was just right. My love for those glass noodles was so great that I went back 4 days later to get them again! This time instead of the Thai wings, I ordered the crispy shrimp wonton to go with them. Again, I was let down. The crispy shrimp were pretty flavorless. They were literally just shrimp wrapped in a wonton. I was not impressed at all. Luckily I had my glass noodles though because they saved the day and this review. I failed to mention that when I went back I called in my order and picked it up. The service was very fast! I walked in paid and walked right on out!

But the real star is the food. Every dish was incredibly flavorful, perfectly prepared, and not the least bit greasy. Honestly, just delicious. The portions are generous too. We ordered three dishes and still came home with leftovers. The highlight of the evening was meeting Ben, whose parents opened the restaurant many years ago. His dad still comes in every morning to make the curry bases from scratch. That kind of family pride and dedication really shows in the food. What a delightful place. Five stars for the food, the atmosphere, and the service. We'll definitely be back. 5 stars!

Perfectly cooked shrimp with Pad See Ew, fried tofu in the green curry, the fan fave when tigers cry Tri-tip, plus much more. We were blown away. Everyone was super friendly, it felt like we were in a friend's house with family. And for what was a very busy night, service was spot on, and really fast. Added bonus: for the celebration, there was a "Photo Booth" where we got a caricature drawn of us, and then, we got to spin a prize wheel. We won a small box of house made Mango Sticky Rice Macrons. Ooooh, boy were they delicious!! ATTENTION AYARA, put these on the menu for regular ordering. It will make the whole world a better place. If you've made it this far, go to Ayara, the hospitality, service, and delicious food are absolutely worth it.

That said, the food was average at best, and there were a few things that really stood out. My biggest gripe is the $3 charge for rice. Even when ordering a curry, rice does not come with the meal, you have to pay extra for it. I honestly don't understand that. How are you supposed to eat curry without rice? The Thai shumai with chicken and shrimp was disappointing. The dumplings were dry, the wrappers felt dried out, and the vinegar dipping sauce lacked much flavor. The spring rolls were actually good and tasted fresh. Just keep in mind that shrimp is an extra $1 and doesn't automatically come with them. The peanut sauce was also different from the traditional Thai-style peanut sauce I was expecting. The green curry was okay. It came with a generous amount of chicken and vegetables, but unfortunately the chicken was pretty chewy. For me, the Penang curry was the best dish of the meal. It was flavorful overall, although I think it could have used a little more salt. Overall, if you're looking for mid-tier Thai food, you found it at Garden Thai. But personally, I'd save my money and go up the street to Kin D. I found the food to be better there, and rice actually comes with the curry--which, in my opinion, just makes sense.
