I've been trying a bunch of local Thai spots around the Valley and honestly haven't been disappointed, but let me tell you about this place. Ordered delivery because my partner and I were craving a solid Thai meal and went with the spicy basil and chicken, as well as the pork jerky. Both were exceptional. So good that it actually made us want to go check out the restaurant in person, which we did. Dining in was just as great. The service was awesome, warm, and genuinely welcoming. The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. Fast forward to another night when we ordered delivery again. I tried the Thai fried chicken for the first time and wow. Perfectly crispy, insanely juicy, and packed with flavor. I honestly can't even put my finger on what makes it so good, but I'm dead serious when I say it is the best fried chicken I've ever had, anywhere, ever. This is a gem if you're looking for real, delicious Thai food. 10/10. read more

So I ordered takeout. I specified mild. It is burning my mouth it's so spicy. I also ordered a side of rice that wasn't fully cooked. Mush. Bizarre. The drunken noodles are flavorful and have lots of veggies, but the container certainly wasn't full. The green curry is good but needs more than 3 pieces of eggplant. Good, but not great. Might get 4 stars if it wasn't so darn spicy when I said mild. read more

After my trip to Thailand, I am on the hunt for the best khao soi in LA. So far I have tried 3 places and Khao Soi Thai is on top! It tastes the most similar to the one I had at Chiang Mai. It wasn't overly spicy yet had powerful flavor. Price was a bit steep but it was almost enough to feed 2 people! This place isn't that big with about 10 tables. However it wasnt crowded on Saturday evening. Lots of people ordering takeout! Btw this place was featured on buzzfeed! read more

All I have to say is wow!! This location is amazing!!! I found this place to when I went to have dinner with my coworker. She picked the place and she was on point!!! We ordered the chicken satay, they were tender and had a great flavor. My friend ordered the tom Kai soup, she said it was tasty but its very lemongrass flavor. So be prepared. I got the Khao speciality soup woth coconut milk and fresh crab meat. It was heavenly, ita legit the best ive ever had . This is a similar dish served at luv to eat thai and thats like a 40 dollar curry. This was yummy, favorable and just divine. This restaurant is such a vibe!!!! Its intimate yet casual and the food is really good. 10 out of 10 absolutely reccomend. read more

This review is for takeout, I'll do a separate review or edit this one once I've had the chance to dine in. My friend picked up our take out order the other night. Had the drunken noodles and Pad Thai. Both were delicious and great portions for the (reasonable) price. Got both "medium spicy" just because it was my first time trying this place, but will try actually spicy next time. Both noodle dishes were very flavorful and tasted authentic. Will be back for more takeout, and one of these days to try dining in the restaurant. read more

This is our go to place for great Pad Thai! It's tart, the noodles are al dente, and the sauce feels more homemade than other Thai restaurants. Their crispy pork is really good too. They close pretty early, 9pm I believe. Ive tried to call at 8pm to place in a pick up order, but no one ever answered! I got to the restaurant at 8:45 hoping to place in a to go order, and the woman working the front counter seemed annoyed, but a man came in and said that would be okay. He was very nice! I felt bad cause I tired to avoid ordering food so close to closing, but they didn't answer the phone! read more

I'm shocked I haven't left a review for this place because I go there alllll the time and I always get the same thing and it's consistently good and I can't wait to go back lol I'm also surprised I don't have any pictures to post *sigh* As the name suggests, their specialty is the Khao Soi dish, which is what I get every time (with fried tofu). Now I'm no Thai cuisine expert or anything so I don't know if their khao soi tastes exactly how it's supposed to taste like but for me personally, it is heaven lol They also used to have a yelp check-in and you'd get a free Thai tea (which is delicious btw) but I think that's gone now. Service is great too, this place never gets too busy or too loud, it's truly perfect. As for parking, they have a dedicated lot. It's tiny but I never had any issues finding a spot. Next time I go I'll try to remember to post pictures! :D read more

I've been looking at this restaurant from the Von's and Bev Mo parking lot for a while. Last night I finally decided to try it. It's in the same complex as Chin Chin, so I knew to drive carefully down Ventura to make sure I didn't miss the driveway! The place is really clean and the staff is very friendly! I can tell they do a lot of takeout/delivery as there were only three tables occupied during my meal. After finding many things on the menu I wanted to try, I opted for the Khao Soi. I mean, it's their namesake and the menu does pimp it pretty hard. It was so delicious and comforting and filling! The pic is of my finished soup. You can check other reviews to see what the soup actually looks like when it arrives at your table, but I'm sure your bowl will look like mine before you leave! I'm looking forward to going back and trying other dishes from this, my new favorite Thai restaurant in Studio City! read more

Parking: there is a handful of parking at the level, and also they have a underground parking if needed The restaurant itself has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The food comes out quick as well and service is great. It's also not too loud and a comfy warm environment. My friend and I ordered Thai tea and the Khao Soi with chicken. It was delicious!! Definitely a favorite that I will come back to. The medium was a good flavorful kick as well read more

Another excellent meal at Khao Soi Thai. This place is really fantastic, and while there are so many Thai restaurants in town which I haven't tried, I always seem to go back to Khao Soi. I've been here several times now and I can't stop ordering the Khao Soi Curry Noodle Soup with Chicken, It's so delicious. We also had the Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp. I could drink that broth all day and every day. Steamed Chicken Gyoza, Ka Pow Over Rice, Yellow Curry and Garlic Pepper Over Rice with Chicken and broccoli - We ordered a lot and everything was fantastic. If you've not yet been to Khao Soi Thai, you are missing out! read more

First time ordering from here. Read the reviews and were optimistic. We ordered chicken pad thai, fried chicken, and the karee roti. Everything was so oily and greasy it was inedible. Of course, we expect some oil in the cooking process, but it was really bad, for all the dishes. So much so that after a few bites of each, we couldn't finish any of it. The service was nice and the dining area looked clean when we picked up our order. The pad thai was so oily it overpowered any flavor. Not much to it, just noodles, chicken, some bean sprouts and nuts. The karee roti was the best dish of the three, but again, the oil just overpowered any of the rich flavor. The fried chicken, bland. Too oily, not seasoning to the coating unless there is but I could taste it through the oil. Overall, pretty disappointing. read more

Looking for Khao Soi? Well you came on the right place (the name gives it away). After our trip to Chiang Mai we were looking for that comforting curry soup closer to home. A classic northern Thai dish, it's a sweet, curry noodle soup that is definitely worth trying. I loved the broth, it was rich and flavorful. There are both the fried noodles on top and cooked noodles inside which gives it incredible texture. The toppings are spot on- I wish there was more of it. The pickled mustard greens and raw onions are a nice contrast and cuts the richness of the curry soup very well. Chicken is what is usually served with in Thailand, the chicken here is pieces of chicken breast (like what you would use for any other stir fried Thai dish). Thigh or drumsticks would be my preference but I'm being picky. Service was quick, waters were refilled, no complaints. No frills sort of place. Located off Ventura in a building with free parking, both outside and underground. Check it out! read more

I ordered food from this restaurant and told them I have peanut allergy. There was a cross contamination with my food, called them to report to be more careful with serving food to people with allergies. They said should bring the food back to get refund. No sympathy nor compassionate response from their manager. How can you bring back the food when I had already ate it. It's such a joke. I will not go back to this place again read more

Khao Soi has been one of my wife and I's favorite dishes over the past few years. So finding one of Yelp that called Khao Soi Thai made sense. The parking is pretty limited but they have an underground lot. The restaurant has that home vibe which is nice. We ordered the Seafood Khao Soi and the Pineapple duck curry. Both dishes I'd highly recommend. Huge bowl big portions and good for sharing. I just love the flavors of Thai cuisine. Khao Soi is place to try for some legit authentic Thai Food. read more

I had some family in town and they were determined to go on a food journey with khao soi thai on their list! they had seen it from the try guys and told me it was delicious and they were right!!! when we came, it was early in the evening so there weren't too many tables. we sat outside with our dog. ordering family style for the table, we got the pad thai, spicy fried fish, spicy fried rice, khao soi, and chicken satay. it's hard to pick a favorite because they were all delicious! the spicy fried rice had so much seasoning and flavor and at medium spicy it wasn't too bad for me, but I love spice. the khao soi was my first time having it. the broth was so rich and flavorful, i began putting it on my fried rice!! i would recommend this restaurant to anyone and will be sure to stop by if i'm in the area read more

Got the - Khao Soi mild, with crab meat my favorite of everything we got 4/5 so flavorful and a great amount of crab meat. i enjoyed the noodles in there too - pad c-ew with fried tofu 4/5 tasted good but portioned seemed served in the smaller end - tom kha soup mild 4/5 tasted very similar to the khao soi base - papaya salad 2/5 disappointing, not tangy enough got it with no spice because of my friends i ate with PARKING: plenty free space underground, just don't forget to turn into their little driveway i always missed it and pass by it customer service: 4/5 it's ok , able to track employees down in their small facility I recommend and have already come back read more

Wow! Doesn't look like much from the outside but had a great experience here. They have a little outdoor seating area with string lights perfect to sit out on a warm night for dinner. Service was prompt and kind. We had to get the fried chicken since it was the top thing on their Yelp page and it didn't disappoint. You get five huge pieces of chicken that's lightly crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Also got the Khao soi because obviously. I've never had it before but wow it was so good! We got it with pork and it was so flavorful and comforting. We also had the papaya salad and pineapple fried rice which were both decent but didn't stand out as much as the first two. Highly recommend and will be back! There's also free parking in the open lot behind CVS and sleep number area! read more

Khao Soi Thai - Thai Near Me - Studio City, California

Khao Soi is a northern Thai dish that isn't quite as easy to find in LA as I had hoped. The dish consists of egg noodles, your choice of protein, and a soup base that melds together coconut cream and curry spices, giving it a taste similar to that of Thai yellow curry. Khao Soi is one of my favorite Thai dishes, but most Thai restaurants don't actually serve it since it seems to be a specialty dish developed from a mixture of influences in one particular region. Luckily my friend found this restaurant and we stopped by for dinner on a rainy evening. The timing was fortuitous, as the dish was just what we needed to survive the cold weather. The broth was packed with flavor, the egg noodles were cooked perfectly, and the spice levels were on point and had my nose running towards the end of the meal (not enough to deter me from finishing every last bite though!) Overall, the meal was delicious, filling, and reasonably priced, even for Studio City. Suffice to say, I absolutely recommend Khao Soi Thai! read more

Food was ok. Flavors a bit on the bland side. Not terrible but not amazing to want to come back again. It was just ok. A bit disappointed since I read the reviews prior and wanted something authentic. I was hoping it would be better. Portions small considering all this was $50 for lunch more or less for 2 people sharing. I guess I will have to try other places for these dishes. The restaurant seems to only have one person serving so there is a waiting issue if you're in a rush. We weren't in a rush so that wasn't an issue for us. The place is cute. Cute outside patio seating. I wished the food was better to want to come back. read more

Don't come here if you want to get in and get out. You'll probably walk out after waiting 10-15 min for the sole person that is the server? Crazy. read more

One of the best Thai places in the area. Had the pad Thai which was on point. Basil with ground chicken was flavorful and wholesome. Chicken satay was quality as was their fried rice. Tom Yum soup was yum. With so many Thai places around it's hard to find a place where 5 of the 5 dishes we had were A+. Usually there's one or two that are just kinda meh. But this place impressed all around. If I lived in the area this would be my go-to, but unfortunately I live an hour away read more

My husband and I saw this place on so many videos so we really wanted to try it. We went before the lunch rush and didn't have to wait. We ordered the crab fried rice, khao soi, and drunken noodle. Everything was DELICIOUS. We were worried that the crab fried rice would have too strong of a crab taste but it was perfect. The drunken noodles were pretty spicy but it was perfect and hit the spot. The khao soi was perfect as well. We will definitely be going back! read more

Always great good and service! Staff is friendly and the place is always busy with take out and tables

I'm disappointed by the food. The vegetable fried rice was greasy and had no flavor. Same for the spring rolls. They both tasted like grease and it was expensive. I paid $90 for 3 meals just to have food regret. I gave one extra star because the meat was better/as expected. We got steamed ginger fish, fried chicken and shrimp drunken noodle. The people were nice, ambiance is nice and they have parking. It's just tough because certain dishes seem better than others so I wouldn't feel confident to try again. read more

Awesome khao soi!! Need I say more? They included a good portion of crab! The tom yum was loaded! Yep, every bite was good; the noodles were nice and chewy. Oh, and there were plenty of noodles. In Socal where the competition is tough, this is what we expect - good quality And quantity. There were tons of ingredients included. Pro tip: don't forget to check in for a free drink! read more

I've ordered from here before and it's been great. Solid taste, good amount of food, etc. this last time was not on point... order a pad Thai with no peanuts and it came with peanuts... got a pad see ew with tofu and it came with chicken. I called the restaurant and they were apologetic and refunded me for the take out order since I couldn't go back to pick up correct order. Have to give them kudos on that decision. I'll come back again and update the review after ha I g a few more pleasant experiences here. read more

This review is for a postmates order over the weekend. I ordered the Pad See Ew, Khao Soi, and Coconut based Soup. Let me tell you, this food made my stomach super bubbly for two days straight. Pad See Ew - menu says this includes chinese broccoli, this dish had 1% broccoli. It was all noodles and not exaggeration, 1 circle of green onion and 1 leaf of the chinese broccoli Khao Soi - I've never had a khao soi this watery, it wasn't the best. Standard coconut based soup: very salty and it started curdling on the same day while in the fridge read more

Beyond disappointed in this place. Service is terrible. The workers wouldn't even acknowledge us waiting. When they finally acknowledged us and told us to sit down they kept ignoring us....Two couples who walked in after us got menus and waters while we sat still waiting. We decided to leave because obviously they don't treat everyone there equally, and of course the other couples were white. read more

This is by far one of the top favorite Thai restaurant I've ever been to. The food was so delicious, full of flavor in every bite! The service was amazing! The food came out very quickly.

I saw that this place was highly rated so I thought I'd give it a try. First, I got a chicken satay appetizer, which came with peanut sauce and a cucumber salad which was pretty good. I also got a Thai Ice Tea which was decent but small. For the main dish I got pork drunken noodles and green curry with beef. The drunken noodles were tasty. Good dish. The Green curry was runny. The flavor was good but the consistency was not. The restaurant itself looked very nice for the space they had and a cute little dining area in the front by the parking lot. It was a warm day and there was no AC inside so it was stuff and we decided to sit outside cuz there was a slight breeze. That turned out ok except for the occasional car fumes. Our server was fine, didn't engage much but kept an earbud in the whole time and since there was no one he was communicating with, I assumed he was listening to something on his phone which would have been ok but after he dropped off the food, even though they were not busy, we didn't see him again until the end of the meal. Not a bad place but not memorable either. read more

Pad See Ew and chicken satay was excellent. I would clarify if you order the fried rice what exactly you want in it. I will definitely go back. read more

Tbh not tryna cop out of writing this caption, but everything here was so mid (in a good way though). Food and service were both good, restaurant was clean, easy parking - I really have nothing more to say would I go out of my way for this? No but would I swing by if I was in the area and craving some Thai food? Yes! So I guess conclusion is: food is authentic, but not good enough to recommend, although if you've never tried this place - it definitely won't disappoint IG: Spillingthe.beans read more

During our recent stay in Los Angeles, the weather has steadily remained cool, mostly cloudy because of "May Gray," with daytime temperatures not exceeding 70° F. Being from Honolulu, HI, where we're more used to warm sunny weather we felt chilled staying in LA, we craved hot noodle soups or spicy foods. Our taste buds and appetites welcomed the sight of Khao Soi Thai restaurant that we saw from a distance while stopping near Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Ventura Boulevard. We saw Khao Soi Thai's signage several years ago, and when I looked up their Yelp rating (average 4.5), I quickly suggested to my family to try this restaurant. There was no hesitation from my brother-in-law, who promptly turned onto Ventura Boulevard and into the Times Square strip mall. The Times Square Mall has multiple businesses that share lots of parking stalls facing the companies and an additional parking lot at the opposite end of the mall's entrance. Walking into this clean, quaint, and family-run restaurant, we noticed the chalkboard menus with English and Thai script. The male worker was friendly and welcoming and gave us a choice of indoor or outdoor seating. We chose indoor seating, listened to the male server recite the day's menu specials, took our time leafing through the colorful menu pages, and ordered our beverages. Thanks to Yelp and Khao Soi Thai, I redeemed my check-in offer for a FREE Beverage (Iced Thai Tea). Meanwhile, several more groups streamed in and began filling the restaurant. So, we called the server to order before they did. The service was attentive, friendly, and efficient. Within a few minutes after the server brought our beverages, he delivered our appetizers and attended to the other groups of diners. As American-born Asians, the first question that we ask the server at a Thai restaurant is about the chili spice level. We'll ask if the spice level is based on Thai or American tastes, as we'd rather err on the medium American chili pepper tolerance but we were told they serve Thai spice level so we asked for mild. FOOD: -Papaya Salad with Shrimp (som tam): The huge portion of this refreshing, fresh, and colorful salad embodies the flavors of Northeastern Thailand. Its crunchy raw green papaya shreds, chopped peanuts, cut long beans, carrots, bean sprouts, and bruised tomatoes were spiked by its sour-salty-sweet mortar-pounded dressing of lime juice, palm sugar, garlic, fish sauce, and tamarind juice (?). $12.95 -Thai Issan Sausage (saikrok Isaan or sai oui): Grilled savory and slightly sour-sweet Thai pork & rice sausages are trendy street foods. Eating these sausages wrapped in a small white cabbage leaf, a thin slice of ginger root, and chili pepper would send your tastebuds to Bangkok. We would've enjoyed eating these sausages accompanied with a beer, but we're not complaining as we slurped on our iced Thai coffee and tea.$11.95 -Khao Soi with Pork: Since the restaurant's namesake is this dish, we had high expectations for its flavors since we've eaten this northern Thailand's signature curry noodle soup in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. This restaurant delivered on our expectations. Soft, flat egg noodles with pork (other options were chicken, beef, or seafood) were served in a tasty Chinese-Muslim-origin curry broth and topped with a ball of crispy fried noodles. There appeared to be a hint of coconut milk in the curry broth to balance the savoriness. $14.95 + $1.00 (pork) -Drunken Noodles with Chicken (pad kee mao): Khao Soi executed this wok stir-fried noodle dish very well. We noted that the thin, delicate flat rice noodles had a nice chew, and the whole strands separated instead of clumping together, which indicated perfect control of "wok hei." Also, we anticipated the spicy and savory flavors of this dish. $13.95 + $1.00 During our first eating experience here, we met a couple of native Thai residents who were visiting Los Angeles. They agreed with the authentic flavors and genuine polite and friendly etiquette the server showed. However, unlike the inexpensive living and food costs in Thailand, the prices here were a sticker shock for the visiting Thai families who stopped in. To us, the prices were a good value for the flavors, quality and quantity of food. read more

Khao Soi Thaï is by far our favorite Thai food restaurant in the area. The food is consistently delicious with perfect flavors on Thai staples with a particular mention of the soup that inspired the restaurant's name. A definite must try. Service is always polite and friendly even if it's sometimes difficult to communicate by phone (English is my second language so thick accents can be tricky for me). Even if better than most comparable places, the ambiance is mid. We often take-out but it's definitely inviting enough to eat there if we feel like it. Overall, Khao Soi Thai is a winning choice for Thai food. read more

This used to be my go to spot for years. Something changed because our hot food came out cold and the noodles were bloated and clumped together. The seasoning was flat and was sour all around. Disappointed at the quality drop. Moving on to find a new spot. Seriously bummed read more

Their main specialty item Khao soi is OUTSTANDING! I've had my fair share of Khao soi in LA and beyond and this one is my top 3!! They really make it so well the broth is perfect and hearty with all the spices and flavors they use! I HOPE they continue to be consistent with their quality and continue to deliver great food!
