Dine in review: They have a nice outdoor patio with 4 large tables and a couple smaller ones. Does get cold at night without heaters. Our server who seemed to be managing the place, was absolutely wonderful and very hospitable. The service and cleanliness is the main reason I give this place 4 stars. I do not eat curry, but my friend got yellow curry and said it was really good. The pad see ew and pad Thai were both very authentically prepared. The pad see ew was a little too sweet for me, but still ok. It's exactly what you expect Thai food that is consistently good. read more

excellent Thai food.....friendly staff.....can get a bit loud but always worth it. Can get busy....fair prices....no beer or wine offered. read more

Except for the service which was effected hybhavingbone server, the food was delish! No ambiance so to speak but that did not affect our visit read more

Food and service were very good. Seems to be family run. I would definitely go back here.

Beyond exceptional food. Have been going at least once a week for the past month. Best Thai food in the valley. High quality and fresh ingredients. Favorite dishes are the Khao Soi with Shrimp 10/10!! Broth is rich, creamy and packed with flavor. And Tom Yum soup with Shrimp. Perfect balance of spicy and sour. The bold flavors of lemongrass, makruit lime, Galangal and fresh chilis come through with a punch!! Both dishes come with 7 very large plump shrimps that are tender and cooked to perfection. I always order my noodles on the side because portions are so big I need to take leftovers home. Couldn't say anything better!! Lovely staff, quick service, food always hot and fresh!! read more

Pad Thai ,Fried chicken yummm!!! And definitely the best Khao Soi in town. Check it out the papaya Salad as well.

I was excited to try a different Thai spot nearby. I had a friend over who I hadn't seen in a long time. We ordered takeout. She ordered crab fried rice, I ordered medium spice glass noodles with beef, and wonton soup. Sadly, it was all wrong. The crab fried rice had a very pungent smell beyond normal. We had to throw it away. The glass noodles were bland with no spice and there wasn't any beef. And, a piece of chicken in the wonton soup had strange grey spots. It was all a mess. I wish I had nicer things to say. Hopefully, this was just an off night for the restaurant. :( read more

Khao Soi Thai - Wonton soup with a strange grey spot on the chicken. - Thai Near Me - Studio City, California

We ordered the Khao Soi and the the Pla Rad Prik. The broth for the Khao Soi was delicious but it was served only warm so I wish it was hotter (temperature). The noodles in it were okay. I've had plenty of Thai food before but I never had this dish so I can't compare it to others but it was decent. The Pla Rad Prik had good flavor. It almost tasted like orange chicken from Panda Express but it was fish instead. Overall, the food was good but the service was very slow. We waited a long time for our food. It took maybe 20+ minutes for the second dish to come after the first. No apologies or anything. Guess that's just the way it is! Be prepared to wait! read more

Food was amazing! Very authentic! I would recommend their thai iced tea. My son being asian he says overall good place but the thai green curry is a little to spicy for medium so that's one thing they need to work on. but would definitely recommend !!!! read more

Absolutely amazing yellow curry and mango sticky rice. Tastes fresh and flavorful. I am definitely going back. Very nice people that work in there. read more

Probably one of the worst experiences I've had in a restaurant in terms of food and service. We ordered so much food, but sadly not a single item impressed me. We ordered the Veggie Egg Roll, Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp, Fried Chicken, Pad C-Ew, Combination Fried Rice, Crab Fried Rice, and Pad Thai. The veggie egg rolls no doubt in my mind have to be frozen store bought egg rolls. Incredibly basic in flavor. It tastes like any other egg rolls you buy in the frozen section of a store. The veggies inside were not seasoned well. Though, cooked perfectly with a crispy texture, the flavor was a miss. The sweet and sour sauce did not help. The Tom Yum soup was not the best, but the better item of everything we got. The lemongrass adds a nice sour flavor. The fish sauce adds to the saltiness of the soup. It was an ok soup, you can find better elsewhere. The Fried Chicken was a downer. The skin was incredibly crispy and honestly flavorful. Though, they need to marinade their chicken longer. After biting the outer layer, the inside is completely lacking in flavor. Although, juicy, the flavor is what is important. The meat literally had no flavor. The Pad C-Ew was the biggest upset of the night. My favorite Thai dish, was ruined by this restaurant. The Pad C-Ew was overly greasy. It was dripping in grease. The noodles were cooked well. The texture was nice. The veggies were also cooked very well. They were cooked to the point where they weren't raw, but has a nice little bitter taste to it. Though, the whole dish was incredibly overly salty. Probably, one of the salties dishes I've ever had in a restaurant in my life. Two bites, and you feel the salt penetrate the back of your throat. The salt will not leave your throat. Moving on, the combination fried rice is average. The meats were cooked to dryness with no seasoning. The shrimp was bland. The veggies were cut to big. The seasoning on the rice itself was very average. You can find better. I bet a novice chef could even make better. Crab fried rice was surprisingly better. It had a better flavor. It was honestly seasoned well. The egg was surprisingly cooked perfectly. The egg also had a nice flavor. The Pad Thai was also an issue. Noodles were cooked perfectly with a nice bite. Though, the whole dish is ruined by the sauce. It is overly sweet. From what I know, pad thai is not supposed to be sweet enough to put you at risk for diabetes. Don't order it. The quality of the dishes are a disappointment. Again store bought egg rolls. I am also pretty sure the shrimp they used in the dishes were frozen. The flavor was not right. I also believe in most Tom Yum with shrimp they keep the head on to add flavor. Though, ours was headless which makes me even more suspicious of the quality. The crab in the fried rice I believe was also canned crab. Honestly no issue with that, it was the better dishes. The presentations are standard. I would say the fried chicken stood out when coming out from the kitchen. The Tom Yum Soup presentation is incredibly boring. Everything else is just standard plating. The prices are average and portions are definitely shareable. Though, in terms of the flavor of the food, I would never spend money on this restaurant again. The staff sucks. There are two main issues with the staff. They're not friendly, and they are also understaffed. I would assume they are stressed and unfriendly, due to them being understaffed. Off the bat it took a while for our server to take our order. I can't count how many times pickup orders came in and their order was not ready. Throughout our whole dinner endless pickup customers would come in ask for their order, and wait an additional 20 minutes or so. There was constant arguing between staff and customers throughout our whole dinner service. Tables that came after us were given their food first for some reason. I observed the table next to us and their faces looked dreaded, waiting for their food. In terms of our table. It took 25 minutes for our appetizer to come out. We then waited for a minimum of 40 minutes for the rest of our food to come out. I understand we ordered a lot, but 40 minutes, my god. The front is understaffed, and I'm sure the back of house is understaffed. If management is to blame, they need to fix that. The ambiance is terrible for one reason. The decor is fairly nice and the restaurant inside is very homey. Though, it was the hottest restaurant I stepped foot in. The only cooling system is this big ceiling fan. Therefore, we waited 1 hour+ for our food in the heat. We were just sitting and all of us were sweating. Other customers looked dreaded in the restaurants heat. The place was overall pretty clean. The parking is alright, they have a small lot. Don't come here. read more

I came upon Khao Soi after seeing pictures of their Thai fried chicken and having only tried this at one other place I had to check it out.. This fried chicken had a tempura style coating, most likely batter but unique in its texture. It comes with a sweet chili sauce and fried shallots that is crack. Borderline uncontrolled substance. Also one order can feed two people easily. Definitely worth a try.. read more

I had dinner with friends at around 6:30pm on a weekday. The Khao Soi is definitely a must-try. The wet/dry noodle dish had perfect heat and temperature upon serving. I had the seafood option and the protein was generous. Service, despite the staff being busy with phone and external orders, was surprisingly good. It felt like he wasn't juggling a hundred things at once. Drink was topped and table was cleaned periodically. Thank you! read more

We had a delicious meal! The fried fish was so good and crispy! Appreciate all the options for allergies/dietary restrictions. read more

Food is good here I been coming here for sometime now but this is the second time Ive had hair in my food which just annoys me on how little they care for their customers. This place needs an overhaul of employees or at least wear hair nets. read more

Wow this place deserves more hype. Good is delicious and servers are very great. I will continue coming here forever until I get tired of Thai food but I don't think that's possible. Fried rice (chicken) and Tom yum soup and my go to's read more

Khao Soi Thai - Amazing spot for Thai food - Thai Near Me - Studio City, California

We used to love this place - our last time was not as great. Usually, their Khao Soi is rich, flavorful, and holds well to the noodles. The last one we ordered was quite the opposite. You could tell they were busy with takeout orders, and the food was still good, but not stellar compared to past experiences. This time, the duck skin was not crispy. Definitely one of the better, if not, best Fried Chickens served at a Thai restaurant. We've also ordered their Thai Omelet (not on the menu). Give that one a shot too, you won't be disappointed in that. read more

The service was good, the food on the other hand.. wow. Bring a chainsaw if you order anything with beef. My two friends and i all just left, plates half eaten, because we were tired of chewing the flavorless, hard as a rock "beef." We each got a different dish with beef, and it was so tough and had no flavor. And then the roti dessert tasted like it had been sitting in grease for 2 days. I don't know how in the hell this place has 4.5 stars... i had way higher hopes for this but wow... should have just went to Panda Express. read more

This place is insane! Such good quality Thai food and very quick in the kitchen when it comes to dining in the restaurant. My friend and I went after LA opened back up for outdoor dining. The outdoor seating is nice but there's only a few tables available, so plan ahead. Dress warm if it's cooler out and order the jasmine tea to warm you up if needed. We got 2 Currys, their traditional Khao Soi w/ Crispy Pork AND Crab meat in it- this dish was f*ckng EPIC! So flavorful and amazing with the combo of pork and crab. We also got a pineapple curry, also bomb.com Tried the Pad Thai w/ pork....literally ate it so fast! I can't wait to go back again. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. read more

Khao Soi Thai - Khao Soi with Crispy Pork AND Crab - Thai Near Me - Studio City, California

Wow! What a horrible place! I placed my first order through Uber eats at 6:17 pm. It is 7:50 and they just told my driver that it will be another 20 minutes. When I called the restaurant I was first told my food is about 10-15 minutes away and I asked to speak to a manager-- that was met with no manager was there. Then another woman got on the phone and told me that the driver hadn't showed up! I was messaging with him live... she told me it was between me and Uber and basically hung up on me. Don't waste you time! Can't wait until Now on Nine re-opens!! read more

BE AWARE:::: I would highly encourage you guys to make sure prices are what they say in the menu. If you order items that normally at any other restaurant (like chicken in your curry) usually it would include the protein, this place doesn't. They sneak in extra charge for even the chicken. read more

Khao Soi Thai - Extra hidden from menu charges - Thai Near Me - Studio City, California

I ordered the Khao Soi. As one of my favorite Thai food dishes, I unfortunately wasn't too impressed. I typically order khao soi from 4 restaurants throughout LA and this would be #4 on my list. It wasn't bad though! Portion size was the smallest I've ever seen/gotten - comparable to a small/lunch portion. I got thai hot for spice level and I would say it was more like medium. Customer service was wonderful. All-in-all, their food is not bad and I doubt you'll be disappointed. If I were to come back, I'd try something different. Minimum purchase of $15 to use your card. read more

We did Uber eats. So can't comment on service or ambiance. The food was disappointing. The panang curry was so soupy, totally unlike the description. The pad se ew, was also not very good. The only thing I would order again is the larb. read more

Given the reviews, I was excited to try this place. However, I was really disappointed with both the food and the service. The fried chicken was mushy, and the Pad Thai was too sweet. We only took one bite of the fried chicken and left it on the table. The waitress asked us how the food was, and when we told her that it wasn't very good, she just walked away without saying anything. I wasn't trying to get comped, but at least a verbal acknowledgement would have been nice. In addition, the tables are sticky, and there are flies everywhere. I don't understand how this place has such a high rating. read more

UPDATE: after the owner Nicky saw my review she reached out to me to explain the reasons why the chicken was undercooked...because it is deep fried and it was probably blood. The duck is expensive and therefore very small servings will be given and so I basically paid $13.50 for a container of white rice. She invited me to give their restaurant another try and gave me some suggestions. I placed my order with her and once I arrived to pick up the order Amy her mother asked for my credit card... I ordered Penang curry which was meh and pad e noodles w about 5 pieces of vegetables. I think because they are expensive too. I understand businesses are struggling, however if you want to win over customers you must 1. Serve normal portions, not huge just normal 2. Have better customer service . The food overall is below average. I will not be back. ..... I have been craving for Thai food for months. I checked on yelp and found Khao Soi Thai with pretty high ratings. I ordered yellow curry, hot chicken wings and roast duck over rice w Chinese broccoli. The yellow curry flavor was good, potatoes under cooked. Chicken wings medium were very hot but undercooked... still pink... the duck portion for $13.50 was shocking. The container was mainly filled with rice. Very little duck and broccoli. I'm so disappointed, I was really craving for good Thai food. read more

Great food! Khao Soi and Tom Kha Soup with Chicken, great flavor! Very friendly. Highly recommended the Thai iced tea.

Was craving some thai food in the valley and wow there are a lot of options. I chose the one nearest by just to give it a shot and it did not disappoint. Their spice levels are on the spicier side, but all tastes very good. I did the typical order, the chicken pad thai and curry noodle soup. And the flavors were on point. They also have an outdoor area. read more

I came here because of the Try Guys try Thai food video. I left really really full and super happy. The food here is delicious!! The khao soi was so flavorful, and the fried chicken was SO GOOD. Might be in my top fried chickens ever! The batter is super fluffy and delicious. We also had this pork dish that was delicious too, though I don't remember the name. The staff here is super nice. I feel lucky that we got to visit on a rainy day because it wasn't crowded at all. There is underground parking and they require vaccinations for dine in. The place is spacious and the food tastes amazing and made me feel homey and comforting. Location is off the street and it feels like a hidden secret. We'll be back when we're visiting socal for SURE! read more

We were recommended to try it, and we were not disappointed. At some very different and unusual things on the menu and everything was very tasty. The portions were very nice and we had very good service. We will be back. read more

You can't see the restaurant from Ventura Blvd. It's in a strip mall. The entrance/driveway to parking is hard to find, but there's plenty of it. We just parked at the big lot nearby for Athleta/Banana Republic. Patio seating is quite charming, & more importantly pet friendly. We started out with the Spicy Fried Chicken Wings. You can adjust the spice level. Good flavor, but slightly on the salty side. The wings were tiny. I came here for the main attraction - Kao Soi - with soft tofu. Fried tofu is available too. Other protein options are available at an extra cost. This is my favorite Thai dish, and their version has a stronger curry flavor than other places, but still very delicious. Generous portion. I just wish the crisp noodles were still crispy. Hubby's Beef Thai Salad was tasty. We asked for medium level, and it was hot to me. I always get Thai iced tea, and it measured up. Service is actually quite good for a Thai restaurant. Our water was diligently refilled. Although it's not exactly close to home, we'll be back. read more

Best Thai restaurant in the valley imo! The food is absolutely delicious and it's consistent every time! I actually haven't sat down in the restaurant to eat, but I've ordered food frequently from here and it's always amazing. My favorites are the house mango fish (get this), the Khao soi, mango sticky rice, and Thai tea (always). read more

Great place!!! Very clean and easy pickup. Parking just out front too. Which is so key in this area of studio city. Will definitely be back soon! Full Disclosure: we only had the tom yum soup. PS- it was really good. read more

I like Khao Soi Thai and think it's a good place for take out. I'm not a big fan of dining in though. I do like Nicky who I think is the owner. She is s pleasure to chat with while waiting for my chicken sate and coconut . I would come in just to see her since she's so welcoming and accommodating! The Tom Yun soup is also one of my old standby items and has a lot of flavor!! Overall, 3.5 stars but I will raise it to a 4 star review. read more

Husband really liked the food. He got drunken noodle...spicy. And it nearly killed his stomach. But he really enjoyed it. I got the Pad Thai and I finished it as well! All in all the food was pretty good. Service was standard and it was pretty fast. The price was pretty decent for what things are going these days too! read more

Very good local spot. Its authentic. Food is great and tastes clean. Staff is also very friendly. The pickup/togo travels well to eat at home read more

Khao Soi Thai has a LOT going for it! Look at all the plusses: - free parking - close enough to the footbridge off Ventura and Laurelgrove that you can park on Valleyheart and just walk over the bridge - Extremely reasonable prices - Vast menu - Gorgeous shaded patio - Dog friendly - Superb staff! Everyone is very solicitous and friendly. Eric makes great suggestions about dishes. - Yummy food! - Delicious Thai iced tea! My favorite dishes so far are the Tom Yum soup and Pad Se Yew with chicken. The egg rolls are also nice, hot, crisp, and stuffed with veggies. The fried chicken was overly breaded to my taste, and all white meat, but win some/lose some. Their signature dish is their Khao Soi, the curry dishes. I'll update after I've tried that next! Nice to have such a reasonable Thai place so locally. Give it a shot! read more

Love love loveeee this place. Got the Khao Soi with chicken and it was so rich and satisfying. Also ordered the fried chicken which was amazing perfectly crispy and not too oily. The crab fried rice was very good as well lots of crab meat. The workers are very kind and the service was fast and good. I will be coming back here again to support this great local business. read more

Love this version of Khao Soi! It's less creamy and sweet than most but still retains the flavor very well and there's the right noodle to broth ratio! The owner Amy is so sweet and from Chiang Mai so this is her recipe! If I lived closer to Studio City I'd def eat here more. Green curry was also very good. The only thing w takeout if our containers broke so there was some spillage in the bag. I've seen some Thai places cover the contained with plastic before putting the lid on if that helps? It's hot soup so I get that it's not easy to transport! I'm looking forward to eating here dining in in the future and until then they are still open for takeout! read more

Khao Soi Thai - Our dinner :) - Thai Near Me - Studio City, California

GREAT Thai food!!!! Get the fried chicken. Drunken' monkey noodles are f'ing the best! Get it with the crispy pork!!!

Simply wonderful! Hadn't had good Thai food since our trip to Thailand and this place aces it! Service is great and food yummy and traditional. We both had the Kao Soi, which has been hard to find in LA, and it's delicious. There are 4 spiciness levels to choose from: mild, medium, spicy, super. We got medium and it's a good level of spicy but not overpowering the flavors. We had one with soft tofu and one with chicken, both really good. Everything smelled good and we're definitely going back to try more food from this gem! There's both an outdoors and indoors area and parking is easy (there's a few spots out front in the little plaza the restaurant is at) as well as a public parking structure 2 minutes away that's very convenient. Absolutely recommend! read more
