    Crab Rangoon
    Matt P.

    When we used to live in Sherman Oaks, this was our go to Thai spot. This was the first time we ended up eating inside. Our server was great and kept on checking up on us. The food was good as I remembered. The Chiang Mai pork belly reminds me of lechon kawali. It's cut in to smaller pieces and comes with this Thai sauce that's really good. Overall, it was a great experience and definitely better eating it there vs. taking it home.

    Soft Shell Crab & Shrimp Garlic Rice
    Angela G.

    Haven't been here in years and boy have I missed it!! The parking lot is unfortunately awful and super small. Even if you park within the lines, it's impossible to get out of your car if someone parked next to you. The huge glass windows make this place really pop with natural light. Service is excellent. I think the young lady who served us was the owner? Super sweet and works FAST. I love how quick they are here!! There was an annoying fly that landed on our rice and she immediately took it back to give us a new one. She also made sure to check on us and give us what we needed. The soft shell crab with shrimp and garlic fried rice is an absolute must. Comes with a citrus semi-spicy sauce which I could eat with literally everything!! I need a bottle of this stuff lol! Super good. Also tried their tamarind Seabass for the first time and oh my god. Absolutely amazing. Super crispy and tasty! Unique with the tamarind sauce and also a must try. The only thing is that they put too much cream in their Thai iced tea but maybe you can ask for less. Love this place and can't wait to come back! IG: @ammysalamii

    Sea bass with Lime Chili Sauce
    Alice k.

    This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants. High quality ingredients, tasty food and great services. Everything is amazing. The whole sea bass is prepared perfectly with various sauce options. Tamarind shrimp is very fresh and fried perfectly. The basil chicken is tasty with a nice portion. The most beautiful presentation for mango sticky rice. I highly recommend this place !

    This photo shows some of the fat and gristle in the $35 Crying Tiger entree we received via Door Dash. When I called the next day to complain a rude employee said I should have called right away. I explained that we had company for dinner and I didn't think it was polite to complain at that time. He said, "Well, that's your excuse." We are longtime, frequent customers but will never order from them again. His rude and hostile attitude was worse than the fatty steak. I didn't even get an apology. He told me to complain to Door Dash.

    very different than pictures. On uber says buy one get one free. Order size is half the amount and quality

    Celebrated my mom's birthday here with my family earlier today. We had an amazing dinner, the food was delicious. We loved the fried sea bass and the crispy shrimp ....So flavorful and mouthwatering. Everything we ordered was good. Our waiter was friendly, patient and attentive. He made our dinner experience even more amazing. Great food Great customer service Great ambience

    Topaz Shrimp
    Irene L.

    Service here is great, mind you the few times I've been here there were only two other people. The restaurant itself is clean. The food I think is great, by far one of my favorite Thai food spots. Try the topaz shrimp, the curry sauce is really good. Slight kitchen error with the lobster tail, but they were quick to provide us with the same meal replacement. Definitely check this place out

    Chicken skewer on curry rice lunch.
    Rich O.

    A gem of a restaurant in the valley serving up delicious Thai food! Kinnara is definitely a hidden gem. Although they're tucked one of the many shopping malls that line Sherman Way in the Van Nuys area, they are a departure from the hole in the wall restaurants you'd come to expect in that area. Don't get me wrong, there are many hole in the wall restaurants that serve us delicious food but Kinnara has a nice ambiance to it and has the feel of a place you could take a date for a dinner. I came by here for lunch while waiting for my car's oil to be changed at a mechanic's around the corner. It was the first time and I was very pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and how good the food was. I ordered the lunch plate of chicken skewers on curry rice. I always enjoy Thai chicken satay which they do well here, but their curry rice was unexpectedly delicious! Although I don't make it to that area often, I know where I'm going to come to get a meal when I do!

    Food was creative and very tasty... Bathroom very dirty and blonde hosted bartender dressed like a hooker big time...no refills on drinks... I do recommend the food though...

    Papaya Salad

    Delicious Thai food with very attentive service. the restaurant Is very clean and nice decor. The papaya salad and garlic shrimp were tasty.

    Shrimp Pad See You
    Desiree P.

    Nestled in a busy retail center is delicious Thai food. I wasn't feeling adventurous, so I went with one of my usual options when dining Thai cuisine. The shrimp were plentiful and delish. My friend got the chicken skewers and curry rice. The curry rice was BOMB. Instantly wished I had gotten her meal. Needless to say the food is good. So why 4 stars?? The service is slow with a little bit of attitude when questioned where food is. And not refilling water glasses. So if you have the time to hang out, you will be fine.

    I rarely give a mark this low to any restaurant, but Thai On Ventura worked very hard to earn this…read morescore. We ordered food to be delivered and each item was a major disappointment. Shrimp Spring Rolls consisted of a large handful of lettuce, an erstwhile shred of carrot or two, and perhaps one solitary shrimp, sliced into pieces and buried deep within the greens -- all wrapped in the usual rice paper and served with peanut sauce that was serviceable but far from anything truly tasty. The rolls themselves were pretty much flavorless and unpleasant. Dumplings (offered on a BOGO deal) were clearly of the packaged variety, served 1/2 steamed, the others fried. Again, very little flavor; served with a thicker, sweeter teriyaki style sauce rather than the vinegary dumpling sauce one expects. Chicken Pad Thai was the worst of the lot. Just dry chicken and the rice noodles, bland and pretty terrible. None of the other usual ingredients, and zero flavor. I don't know if the holiday weekend led to the D-Team working the kitchen, or if this is actually the best they can do. Whichever the case, we have no plans to give this another try.
