Our experience here was a bit different from the rest. Our friend Koi, opened up her restaurant to our hiking group for our Christmas dinner on 12/14/24. We had a blast! The restaurant is small but she and her crew accommodated us well enough to make it our own private dance floor after dinner. Speaking of dinner, the food was delicious! The orange chicken was flavorful, the fried rice was soft, etc. Around 50 people from our group attended and after removing tables and chairs it was spacious enough for dancing. Such a memorable night! Thank you so much Koi! TAKE A HIKE! read more

Grabbed takeout from this local Thai spot. It's located in a Walmart plaza--plenty of parking and seriously good food. The crab fried rice, Tom Yum soup with fish, and fish with broccoli were fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly light. The owner was so sweet and even brought over a small iced coffee to try--strong, but good! Definitely coming back for more. read more

Koi Thai Cuisine is one of La Puente's gem of restaurants! I've been coming here for years , and the Thai food is absolutely delicious! Chef Koi is extremely friendly, and will make your food fresh! The restaurant itself offers both to go, as well as dine in seating should you choose to eat in. My favorite dishes to order here are the Pad See Ew, Panang Curry, and Mixed Vegetables. The restaurant offers both meat and vegetarian options, so there is something for everyone! There is plenty of parking in the plaza, and it is located next to the Wal-Mart neighborhood market. Please come and support your local restaurants! read more

This place is genuine and the owner is amazing. I've pretty much had everything but my go to is the green curry. You can choose your heat. The portions are huge. You can share with at least one person. I also love the rolls and the garlic chicken. You will not be disappointed. read more

The food was delicious. We ordered a lot of food for Mother's Day and there was plenty to go around. The service was exceptionally friendly when I ordered my food and when I picked it up. I ordered to go but when I picked up my food, the restaurant was clean. Our favorite was the pad Thai and Mango with sticky rice! So yummy! Great job Koi! read more

Amazing food and service! This was my first time here and I immediately felt welcomed. The owner, Koi, is sweet and friendly. She made sure to answer any questions I had about the menu to ensure I made the right decision about my meal. I googled this place because I had a craving for pad Thai, and I was very satisfied at the end of the meal. The sauce had a great nutty flavor which is essential for pad Thai. I recommend checking this restaurant out if you're in La Puente ! Support local business! read more

Koi is the best Thai place in town! Strongly recommend!! Try the Pad See Ew if you like noodles! read more

We got here Friday evening and there was no one here. Shame cause the food was pretty delicious! This was right by a medium sized plaza with a large store so parking is somewhat limited close h but not terrible to get a spot. It's located closer to an inner right hand corner of this plaza so it can be easily missed if you aren't looking for it . The food was yummy and there was enough noodles leftover to take to go. Still delicious even reheating. They have specials each day of the week and it's a pretty good deal. The service was really quick and they were very sweet. It seems like there might be more to-go orders than dine-in so it might get busy for lunch or dinner. Hope this helps :) read more

Wow!!! This place is a must have if you're craving Thai food. I called in our order and the exceptionally sweet and polite lady took my order and she offered above and beyond great service. I was pleasantly impressed with the layout for in dining, the menu was displayed with huge high definition screens which made it very easy to see. Each dish offered had images on the screen case your extremely bad with remembering what is what by name. What was most impressive was the flavor!!! Btw, the pineapple fried rice was the best I've ever had . read more

Wow. I haven't had good Thai in a long time. So glad I discovered this place. Of course, through yelp. I came with my son. I tried the beef pad se ew $14 and my son got the orange chicken with a side of rice $16. Plus a Thai tea and free egg rolls with yelp check in! Everything was fresh! Coming in hot! Service was A1. Shout out to that sweet lady working that day. I'm going to guess she was the owner. Super friendly and helpful. This is a sit in type of place. They bring the food to you so I guess that's why it's not really fast food and a bit over what I expect to pay for a quick lunch. Totally worth it. But I won't come often. But I definitely will keep coming back. My pad se ew was soft and filling. Beef slices were ok. Decent quality meat. Portions for beef were ok. Could be better. The orange chicken was really good. Not enough chicken, plenty of batter. Leg meat. So again, for the price, why? But it's cool. Anyway, no complaints, big fan! Check them out for yourself! Keep up the good work. See you soon. read more

My favorite go-to (5) Star Thai restaurant!! I've been dining here for over ten years, and they remain king supreme! They have maintained that title with their incredible consistency in food quality, taste, and experience, which has been a joy for me. The owner, Koi, is a lovely and friendly person who has always appreciated her customers. She is a fantastic culinarian artist! I highly recommend everyone try this place at least once and let their taste buds get dazzled by her incredible food! Prices are reasonable for the amount and quality of food one receives. 5 Star Michelin in my book! read more

The yellow curry is so delicious and one of the things I like getting at Thai restaurants. The spice level is mild, maybe I can ask for a bit more spice next time. The portions are generous and the employees are really kind. I'm surprised that it's empty, specially when the food is really good. Good place in la puente for Thai. read more

First time here to order take-out. Ordered Pad Thai with chicken. $15.39 total. Hostess is Koi and she's very nice. I was curious about their Thai Iced Tea. It cost $5.99 in a huge cup but she gave me a small one on the house since she wants me back to try their combo deal next time. When the Pad Thai was done, I end up buying the large drink to take back with me. It was really good and it was made from Royal Tea Leaves. Thank you, Koi! I'll be back! read more

I'm so so so sad to see this place is permanently closed. It was my favorite Thai spot. I would come here so often that Koi knew my order by memory and it always was cooked just like I liked it. And their Thai tea was delicious!! Thank you Koi for your delicious food! read more

The food here was absolutely delicious! I enjoy the cucumber salad the most as the sesame seeds added a nice toasted flavor. A lovely cold side to have during the upcoming summer heat! Alongside our dishes, we ordered the pad see ew with a side of rice! The noodles were packed with flavor but not until we added their hot sauce. I highly recommend getting the hot sauce for your noodles if you love a kick of heat! The owner was amazing and we were greeted with a friendly smile the moment we entered! Thank you so much for your hospitality. We will definitely be coming back with our family! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in the world. I was more loyal to Koi Thai Cuisine than I was to my ex - though I never cheated on her. I ate here every single day for a year and a half until the pandemic ripped the ritual away. And not once - not once - did the food disappoint. That should tell you everything. The flavors hit like home and heat. Balanced. Bold. Made with the kind of care most kitchens have forgotten. From the first bite to the last grain of rice, you taste intention. Koi isn't just a restaurant - it's devotion served hot. If you're reading this and haven't eaten here yet, go. Go now. You don't crave food like this - you remember it. read more

Small local joint, unassuming looks, the food is killer. Taste, amazing, hard to find some thing to complain about. The owner is extremely nice and genuinely wants to leave a good impression. read more
