Enjoyed dinner at Samata last night and can say it is now one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Hollywood. Small dinning space that feels homey but service and food that is extraordinary. We ordered the crispy tofu, chicken wings, yellow curry, and eggplant. I'm still thinking about the yellow curry read more

Just far away enough from Hollywood Blvd., a little gem to be found where you can truly enjoy a delicious meal. The menu is amazing. Try the spring rolls and the "chicken" garlic pepper. They don't disappoint. They also offer a dirty Thai tea with coconut milk. Delicious. The young lady that works here is really sweet. This will be my new go to when we come to see a show at the Pantages Theater. Loved this place!! read more

I've walk past this block of stores in Hollywood very often and didn't realize that Samata Vegan House was here. A vegan friend and I had time to grab lunch before going to the movies. I was trying to find a vegan restaurant that she hadn't been to before. So after googling we both hadn't been to Samata Vegan House. I was shock that we found street parking immediately and there wasn't a wait to sit down and eat. The restaurant is very intimate and is open for lunch and dinner. Five or six 2 seater tables. The hostess was amazing and friendly. There were international customers and local neighborhood diners as well. There was a board with meal options of the day. This place is 100% vegan. Even the Thai iced tea is made with nut milk options. I ordered the red curry...very spicy and with brown rice. Great food, amazing service. YES, I will go back again and again! read more

Came here for lunch with a friend and had a lovely time! The restaurant is located on a busy street and despite being really small, it was easy to find! The staff were so friendly and helpful in deciding what to order. I also love how they have a sign that says their most ordered/most loved items. My friend opted for a curry while I went with the Hell Fire Chicken, which sounded unique and delicious! The food came out pretty quickly, but not worryingly so, where it tasted freshly made but allowed us to not spend too long there, as we were attending a screening down the street! My friend loved his curry and said it was perfectly spiced while I similarly found mine to be very flavorful and I really loved the garlic and homemade brown sauce. It was a great combination of slight sweetness with a long of tang! The chicken had an excellent texture and was chewy on the outside and soft on the inside. The veggies were sautéed to perfection to have their own crispiness. I had a Thai ice tea with oat milk, which was decadent and rich while being nice and refreshing. It balanced the flavors and spice of the dish so well! The ambiance was quaint and the seating was comfy. They really make great use of the space and manage to fit a few tables without it feeling too crowded! Parking was really easy on the side streets in the surrounding neighborhood and there are also meters available on Highland. Coming here was such a treat, especially since I had no idea they existed! I will definitely be back to try more of their delectable menu items and will for sure get the Thai iced tea again! read more

This location is very small but quaint. There are roughly 5 tables in the entire place. Luckily we didn't have to wait for a table nor did anyone else over the time we spent there--but we did arrive early around 4:30pm. The bathroom was quite small but I was glad they at least had one. The waitress that helped us was super nice and knowledgeable. I tried both the Tom Yum Wings, Drunken Noodles and my friend's Curry Noodles with medium spice. I'd say next time I'd rather get the curry noodles over drunken but the drunken weren't bad--just a little sweet for my taste. I'd be open to coming here again to try other dishes. read more

Ordered through Postmates. Fully vegan Thai restaurant. I opted to get the Thai Green Curry and Spicy Eggplant. Thai green curry - delicious and has the green curry flavor, but it was a little saltier than the thai green curry I normally have. They don't skimp on the veggies and I ended up not being able to finish them. Spicy eggplant - delicious if you like eggplant! It's just a mix of eggplant pieces, assorted vegetables, and your choice of protein. Overall, I'd say it's pretty on-par with the other (many) vegan thai places in the area. It's nothing to write home about, but you can't go wrong here. read more

Tried this small little vegan restaurant after seeing a play at the Pantages. What great food and service! EVERYTHING on the menu is vegan and they will adjust the spicy to suit your taste. Please support this family run business ...you won't be sorry read more

Loved the Thai food here. Everything here is vegan and tasty. The decor is beautiful and the host was especially attentive. Checked in on us to see how everything tastes and if the penang curry was too spicy. My daughter would not have said anything of she hasn't checked and yes it was a tad too spicy. They remade it for her without question and I'm 10 minutes she had a new milder version that was perfect. The pad keeps mao was exactly what I wanted today. I compare it to a slightly spicy version of pad see ew with more vegetables. Again, very tasty and would get again without hesitation. Vegetarians and vegans should definitely add Samata as one of their stops in L.A. read more

Delicious! The dumplings and sticky mango rice were my favorite. My husband had the drunken udon noodles which had the perfect heat

We stopped in late last night and the owner was so welcoming. It's a cozy place with music and pretty decor. We ordered the dirty Thai tea with coconut milk and Thai tea with coconut milk. Both are very delicious and refreshing while not being too sweet. For apps, we ordered egg rolls (5/5), "chicken" wings (5/5), and fried dumplings (4.5/5). Very delicious for the price point and being totally vegan! My drunken noodles were okay, but the pad Thai was the stand out for noodles. The eggplant with tofu was delicious, as was the fried rice. We will be coming back!! read more

It's a small family owned restaurant. Food was fresh and tase was great. We ordered several items and everything was perfect. Being vegetarian, it's tough to find a vegan Thai restaurant. It was a gem. Definitely I would recommend for Vega and vegetarian folks. Service was fast and great as well read more

The pineapple fried rice was good and they didnt skip out on the pineapple or cashew and the portion size was good. The glass noodles were good and had more noodles than most places, even my husband who usually doesn't go for glass noodles as his first choice found it scrumptious lol. The dessert banana rolls were bigger than most thai places which was nice but i suggest eating it immediately, even thogh thry put the ice cream in a big of ice which was really cute but the contrast of the warm rolls and the cold ice cream was nice. Dining might be hard since thetes only two tables. The parking situation is easy as well. read more

Really good food and clean! I love their Thai tea ! The best one ! Love the woman who served me - really nice place read more

Samata Vegan House - Tom Yum - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been here a few times and only had an issue once. And the issue was just a misunderstanding on their end--poor communication / clarification on both sides contributed. Even with that, the customer service was great and they made sure to get my order right. Everything I've tried here has been really good. Literally no misses. Recommend it to anyone who loves good food, not limited to vegans! 10/10 quality and service. read more

Samata Vegan House has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat, and every visit leaves me happy and satiated. Ambiance / Service The space is welcoming, and the owner's warmth makes the experience feel personal and genuine. It feels like so much care goes into the food and the atmosphere. Food Each dish I've tried has struck a balance of comfort and freshness. Nothing feels heavy, just thoughtful food that leaves me smiling. Favorites So Far * Garlic Tofu - perfectly seasoned with a great texture * Fresh Rolls - crisp, light, refreshing... and fresh * Cucumber Salad & Papaya Salad - bright and full of flavor * Tofu Larb Salad or Crispy Chicken Larb Salad - a melding of delightful flavors that stays with you Standouts * Magic Lemonade - refreshing and a little enchanting * Khao Mun Gai - a dish you don't see often on Los Angeles menus, vegan or otherwise. This thoughtful version has become my favorite Thai dish in the city, and it feels especially unique Overall I haven't worked my way through the whole menu yet, which is something I'm excited to do, but everything I've tried so far has been a delight. read more

Food 3/5: pad thai with tofu did not have much flavor in my opinion, and the dish looked exactly like Salaya's for my husband's dish Khao Mun Gai. I think this place wanted to be like Salaya but didn't quite match the food quality. Service 5/5 Ambiance 3/5: It's a cozy looking place, fairly small, but cute. read more

Have I found the perfect replacement for my #1 go to vegan Thai spot?? My review is solely based on the food itself as I've never dined in, having only ordered through Uber eats about 3 times now. I've tried a variety of dishes, always being left desiring I had ordered more. Their Kow Soi is a well spiced curry with perfectly cooked veggies, noodles, your choice of meat, and delicate garnishes to top of the dish. Definitely a must try item. 9/10 Classified as a warm salad, their tofu larb hits almost all the tastes of sweet, salty, and a little spicy, with a bit of grainy rice powder and lemongrass that gives the dish a nice minty Fragrance . A top second must try! 8.5/10 Now for the dish that sits on a pedestal, the winner-winner-chicken-dinner- is their mango sticky rice. Do you know how difficult it is to find a restaurant that can actually nail this sweet delicate dessert on a perfect 10/10 rating??? Well they do it. Sweet mango, perfectly sticky and well cooked rice, with more than enough yummy coconut sauce, ugh I die for this dessert. And they are never skimpy on the sauce, they always pay attention to my notes asking for extra sauce. 10/10 My only unfortunate experience is with their fresh rolls, which is why I bring it down to 4 stars. Again, I am HUGE on sauce. Whatever dish I get, I need to know that the sauce it is paired with completes the dish, and doesn't overpower or under compensate. The fresh rolls themselves are good! But their peanut sauce is a disappointment. Too spicy, too little, and not enough peanut flavor. I think the chili's they add into it numb your tongue and make it inedible. 4/10. One day I'll have to dine in to really get the Samata experience. read more

Went back here for chicken pad Thai. Noodles too sweet. Scant small and subpar pieces of chicken. Real disappointment.

Yummiest food ever! And awesome cozy setting. Hidden gem. We love this place! .

Truly one of my favorite restaurants in LA. Samata is a weekly lunch tradition for me that brings me such joy. The Chef makes a delicious variety of dishes that use fresh ingredients with bold and delicate flavors. My favorites include the Drunken Udon Noodles, Broccoli and Mushroom with Fried Tofu & Brown Rice, and the Hell Fire "Chicken." Medium spicy is always perfect for me. Sarah is not only a brilliant business woman and co-owner of the restaurant, but simply one of the kindest individuals you'll ever meet. She greets all her customers with care and hospitality. She also truly believes in the biological and social impact of healthy vegan food. It's beautiful to see these two partners celebrate their Thai culture and offer Hollywood a genuinely special piece of their lives and passion. read more

What a sweet spot! With only a few tables for seating, an interior adorned in faux flowers and an extremely relaxing vibe, this vegan joint is delightful. We arrived at about 9:20 pm and there was a steady stream of both pick up and dine in customers, that's because the food is so damn good that people needed it before closing. My group tried the garlic chix wings and I'm already craving another batch; they were crispy, savory, slightly sweet, and the very bite was delicious. The chix teriyaki (also fried) plate was a bounty of flavor and veg including edamame, cabbage, and broccoli, so yummy I can't stand it. Owned and operated by a lovely husband (chef) and wife (floor) team, I am already counting the seconds until my next meal there. Please go get your feedbag on and chow down! read more

This is my second time ordering from this restaurant (via Grubhub) and I am sold! Ordered the tempura, the spicy chicken legs and the fries and I'm absolutely stuffed and couldn't even finish all of the food! The portions are really ample.

I stumbled upon this place while walking on Highland and I can't go to another Thai place anymore. The lady attending customers is lovely, and the food is amazing. The star of the show are the drinks, though. 10/10 read more

Cozy spot and well put-together. Great to have a Thai place that's veggie friendly without having to worry about fish sauce etc, and reasonably priced (with good sized portions). Very kind and accommodating service. The Hellfire Chicken was a highlight. Stir around some garlic chili oil in that. Prepare to sweat a little (good sweat, honest sweat). read more

Great food!!! We found it by chance and will come back! Sara, the owner, is very kind! Healthy and fresh food!
