I went here for the first time yesterday and all day today all I kept thinking about was when I'd be going back! This is the best Thai food I have had. Hands down. We all got something different but the true constants were two things: the curry is blow-your-mind tasty and whatever the meat you ordered, it was cooked PERFECTLY with very little fat. I got the chicken and it was purely chicken breast sans fat (a joy! Since for most places that's my biggest complaint) and was perfectly crispy on the outside but juicy on the inside. The same happened for my husband and the pork he got. That curry though? Adored! So flavorful it could be eaten on its own. I'll be dreaming about it for days to come. We all shared the sticky rice sundae at the end and that was just as wonderful as the rest of the meal. Tremendously pleased all around. 15/10 and very excited for when I will return! Saw a lot of people take the food to go but there are 7 or so tables in there with plenty of places to sit. It's a cute place. The service was fantastic! Everyone who helped us was tremendously kind and eager to help in any way they could to make our experience enjoyable. Parking - there's a lot it's attached to. The immediate spots in front are 30 minutes but there are also spots along the side and street parking that don't have time limits so I found parking to be easy. read more

1. Food took a while to get. 2. It is indv servings vs family style 3. Spring rolls were ok 4. Calamari karage very good 5. Crispy pork soup was ok I added boiled egg but only half (make note) 6. Chicken pad see ew ok. Not enough noodles to chicken ratio. (Chicken tasted too "chicken-ie" Plus is they are nice here. Overall, they are ok. But for cost of each plate.....a little much. read more

After looking around for a new Thai place, we found this spot and considering they had really good reviews, we had to try it. I made a reservation through Yelp but honestly you don't have to. When we got there it was empty except for another couple. The inside is small, maybe 10 tables. Staff was very friendly and nice. Originally we sat at a table but when they saw we had ordered a lot, they moved us to a bigger table, which was very nice of them. The lady explained that there are known and specialize in northern Thai business so we opted to try their Khao Soi dishes. I got the crispy chicken which was amazing!! The broth was flavorful, the chicken was tender, juicy and only had white meat which is sometimes hard to find. We also ordered the chicken satay which was good. We ordered the papaya salad with salted crab but we didn't really like it, not because it was bad but because we weren't used to the saltiness of the salad. And the waitress warned us but we wanted to try it anyway. The mango sticky rice was also a hit, we wanted more! Thai iced tea was perfect and not too sweet. read more

WOW! This was a fantastic Yelp find!! After a trip to Universal Studios my group was tired and hungry, this place was the PERFECT spot and only about 5 minutes away. We went on a Saturday night around 7pm (prine time?!) and though the place is pretty small, we got seated right away. There was additional parking in the back that was FREE which was a plus. AMBIENCE/ SERVICE The interior is pretty small but beautiful and casual - I felt like I was in Asia. The man who took our order (an owner I believe) was very kind and told us about how the khao soi recipe came from his wife's family who are from a city in Thailand. Service was fairly quick and there was even a little "instruction sheet" on the wall showing the best way to eat the dish. Menus were clean and large. FOOD I'd never had Khao Soi before, but now I feel like a new person lol. I ordered the shrimp one and it was absolutely delicious. The broth was the perfect amount of spice, warmth, and the flavor was deep. I enjoyed how I could add however much of the "sides" and chili oil I wanted. 10/10 all around read more

My son and I walked into this hole in the wall Thai restaurant today around 6:15pm and had high expectations. We were greeted by Jena and she sat us in the corner where we wanted to sit and gave us 2 menus. Good selection of menu choices from their extensive menu options. She was somewhat pleasant and checked on us like 3 times. We ordered their Chicken Pad Thai ($16.95), add 3 small pieces of shrimp for $4.00. My son got their Chicken Stir-fried vegetables with a side of white steamed rice ($16.95), and also got Chicken Satay ($12.95), for 5 small skewers. Satay was also salty. For dessert we got their Mango Sticky Rice (14.95). Didn't get anything to drink besides 2 waters. He liked his food and I really didn't care much about the Pad Thai. It was salty, gooey, and hard to chew. Mango Sticky Rice was our absolute favorite. Before I forget, I wanted something with beef on the menu. They had nothing that had beef, except some of their soups. (Too hot for a soup). The A/C was on blast, I told her to turn it down a little, but nothing changed. I also asked for a small side salad that most Thai restaurants have, and she said they didn't have any salad. Place was cute, quaint, clean along with a gender neutral restroom. Also clean. They don't do catering, have pick up orders, delivery, and 3rd party orders. Established 2021. Most likely we will not go back. Plenty of other great Thai restaurants around us. Total came out to $72.21 including tax. EXPENSIVE!!! read more

Came here after a Universal Studios and was so happy we stumbled upon this restaurant. We had a big party of 8 and our server was attentive! We ordered everything from the fried rice, pad thai, pad se ew, and I opted for the Crispy Chicken Khao Soi The flavor on each dish was delicious and we had to order for to go as well! Our server informed us they have been open for about ~5 months and I hope to see more people discover this restaurant. The space is cozy, with just a handful of tables, and an open kitchen, providing a comforting feeling and aroma of spices of garlic, basil, etc. read more

Saoha Khao Soi Thai Cuisine - Khao Soi Crispy Chicken - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I'm a huge fan of Thai Curries and was in the area after visiting Universal City Walk. The staff was extremely friendly and asked if it was our first time. After ordering the Prime Beef Harmlny Khao Soi, I was thoroughly impressed! This soup-like curry usually comes served over egg noodles (kind of like ramen) but I subbed the egg noddles for steamed rice. This dish was savory, spicy, and sweet making it a complex mix of flavors. The braised beef shank & tenderloin was incredibly juicy and tender, while the A5 wagyu was torched to perfection. I will definitely be coming back whenever I visit the area. read more

Saoha Khao Soi Thai Cuisine - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Reading that they were originally from Wat Thai meant that it had to be legit. Came for dinner last night and they have such a wide variety of khao soi with different meats. I actually don't even know if they have a regular chicken option but it comes on a tray with condiments. The tray actually was kind of annoying but cool presentation I guess. Not a khao soi connoisseur but I love a curry coconut flavor. The noodles were chewy and it still had the crispy bits. For around $20 to $25, it is a decent portion. I would like a stronger curry flavor but I just love over-spiced foods. We also got the sausage appetizer and it felt a bit dry and it needed more fat in it. Service was decent but felt she was a bit slow and overwhelmed with just a few tables but still ok overall. Good overall but I feel there could be stiff competition around the Hollywood area. read more

How is SAOHA Khao Soi Thai Cuisine not talked about more or on the Michelin Bib Gourmand radar? This is not your average Thai restaurant. Bill has an incredible talent for elevating Thai cuisine while staying true to its authenticity. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted with perfectly balanced flavors and textures! We simply let Bill and Jana surprise us because we've never had a bad meal here. Bill's passion for his craft is undeniable, and Jana's warmth makes every visit even more special. read more

I've been a fan of this place since they were selling at events, so when I heard they opened a physical storefront, I came to try it right away, and I wasn't disappointed at all. The Khao Soi tastes just as good as before, and the crispy pork belly was perfectly fried and super crispy. I also love that they now have a wider variety of menu options. The papaya salad was delicious as well. There's limited free parking in front of the shop, and we were lucky enough to get a spot. read more

Hole in the wall my boyfriend found close to universal studios. My mom and I had no expectations going in, because it was a "surprise" from my boyfriend. Vibes were there. Super cute, cozy, homey feels. I liked their open concept kitchen, where you can see them cook your food while you wait. It was a little cold but I mean not a big deal, it would've helped if maybe I wasn't wearing a tank top at 10pm Like I said we were pleasantly surprised about the food. It's like Japanese-Thai fusion. Not many options of food. Pretty much the same curry noodle dish with different protein options. I can now see way because it was good. I just wished someone had given an intro or something on how to eat it, because it wasn't until I was 3/4 done with the dish to where I was being adventurous and added the stuff on the side and wow did it make a difference. Another thing was I personally wasn't a fan of the fired noodles. When it got mixed in the broth with the non-fried noodles it got confusing when I would eat because the fried noodles started tasting just like hard uncooked noodles. Also, the katsu chicken was just ok. Not to bring it up again but I don't know if it was because the restaurant was cold but the food was just lukewarm. When I associate "soup noodle" dishes, I feel like it is meant to be piping hot. But I mean... you know how the saying goes... like a fatty I devoured it all. The dessert was delicious, it was the mango sticky rice. So if I could I would give it a 3.5 because it's average but a little more than average due to its unique fusion menu. However, when I really think about it overall it was just ok. I'd be willing to try again, it could just be that day it was off? read more

This is the best Thai food I've ever had. If you are reading this review and are trying to decide where to eat, do yourself a favor and choose Saoha! We went to Universal and this wonderful restaurant was on our walk back to our hotel. It's a nice, clean restaurant with excellent service and food. Our waitress explained that the recipes are her Grandmothers and they travel back to Northern Thailand for the special ingredients and spices to ensure the authenticity and special, unique flavor that all their dishes possess. I had the crispy chicken Sao Ha Khao and my Mom had the soft shell crab Sao Ha khao. I'm at a loss for words to express the flavor profile in my meal, it was out of this world and so delicious. I am a stickler for meat quality and it was excellent, not fatty or anything. I love this restaurant and wish it was where I lived, I'd eat here weekly if I could. I highly recommend eating here if you are ever so lucky! read more

We tried Saoha Khao Soi for the first time and had a nice meal. We ordered the chicken satay, papaya salad, shrimp pad thai, and the crispy chicken khao soi. The standout dishes were definitely the satay -- really juicy and flavorful -- and their khao soi, which had depth without feeling too heavy. Service was friendly, though they seemed a bit understaffed and were out of a few proteins (they substituted shrimp tempura for the shrimp). Our baby was able to sit in a high chair and dine comfortably, which we appreciated. Parking is tough since the lot is really small. Wishing them well -- welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Incredible food-- I initially got this from Uber Eats and took the risk of ordering soft shell crab for delivery. It was the best soft shell crab I've ever had, as well as a new type of Thai food!!!!! The dry curry noodles are amazing. I went back the next day with my friend and today I'm going with my mom! NOT your typical Thai, it is a different regional cuisine they offer, so do not expect the standards necessarily but they have essentially everything you want anyhow! read more

I can't stop ordering from Saoha. I've never tasted Thai food this good. What an absolute gem this place is.

Some of the best Khao Soi I've had in LA. The moment I took a bite it took be back to Thailand . The flavor so creamy and the chicken so crispy . Definitely one of the best places for some delicious Thai food. It's a shame more restaurants don't carry this dish because this dish contains so much of Thailand in it and Saoha does an amazing job of capturing that essence . read more

Soup was super creamy and curry. Beef was tender and noodle balance was very good. My favorite was their pork khao soi. Definitely going back! read more

Came here after a day at Universal Studios. We were definitely tired of overpriced and greasy American food and wanted some noodles/rice. This was the closest Asian restaurant (that is not at CityWalk) that we could find. This place hit the spot. We were surprised how empty it was considering we left the theme park at closing. The restaurant is super small, but the staff was friendly and accomadating. They setup a table for 6 and we got straight to ordering. We tried their Kaho Soi Braised Beef, Stir Fried Khao Soi Crispy Pork, A5 Wagyu Beef Khao Soi Soup, Gyoza, Crying Tiger and Pad See Ew w/ Chicken. The family inhaled the food. Everything was beautifully presented and was a fair price. The noodle dishes were just variations of each other, but I really enjoyed my stir fried noodles. Since everyone ate well, we decided to splurge and ended the night with two orders of mango sticky rice. Everything was outstanding. Will be back. read more

What. A. Find!!!!! We ordered two Khao Sois and both were so spectacular. The fried soft shell crab is so perfectly crabby and so perfectly battered and fried. And the Braised Beef was melt-in-your-actual-mouth tender. We planned to get the mango sticky rice sundae but we were absolutely stuffed. Pro tip: put in all the extras that come with the soup. The red onions give it a great spicy crunch, and the mustard greens are nice and tangy which pair well with the lime they give you the option to drench the soup in (do it). They even have extra fried chili flakes to make it more spicy, but I didn't need to add that. We will def be back next time to try more Khao Soi proteins and more items on the menu. The place is small, very mom and pop. Probably 7 tables of 4? We went at lunch and there was no line. The waitress was sweet and everything came out pretty fast! Compliments to the chef!! We love that we don't have to go all the way to Irvine to get good Khao Soi now! IYKYK... read more

My partner and I tried Saoha Khao Soi. We ordered the fried chicken stir fry khao soi, crab fried rice, and mango sticky rice. I thought the stir fry was a creative take on the khao soi. The execution can use a little improvement, we thought the noodle was a little too soft so if you get a protein that wasn't crispy the soft texture will be too much. The flavor curry flavor wasn't as strong as we would like. My partner felt that the dish was a little sweet-I thought the sweetness level was fine. The crab rice was good, very strong crab flavor :) The mango sticky rice was great-it was just the right level of sweetness. They recently opened so they are still getting into their grove. I plan to come back and try the traditional Khao Soi. The parking lot isn't that big so just a heads up. The staff was great and very friendly. read more

This might be the first time I tried khao soi. It's delicious. Basically Thai yellow curry soup with noodles, and a little heat. I got the braised beef but maybe I should have tried the wagyu. The crispy chicken looked good as well. The chicken satay was fine. I liked the butterfly pea lemonade! The only thing is, I didn't realize that this place was about ten- fifteen minutes away from the actual Thai town in Hollywood. This was definitely more Lankershim/North Hollywood area by Universal Studios. So a little kind of out of the way. read more

Just moved into the area and decided to give them a shot, and it was absolutely incredible.

Everything else was excellent, and the servers are so nice here! We also got Thai Iced Tea and Green Thai Iced Tea, it was our first time trying the green one, and it was really good!

Found this place via some people on Instagram posting about it, and it very well exceeded my expectations. My girlfriend and I ordered many items, including the cream cheese wontons which were awesome to start with and came out quickly. Next we had the Papaya Salad. Our server asked us how spicy we wanted it and we went with no spice (my girlfriend is very sensitive to spicy foods due to some health things). I ordered the crispy pork Krapow. It was extremely flavorful and very well spiced. We each ordered a Khao Soi. She got the fried tofu, and I got the crispy pork. Both were super flavorful and reminded us of an old restaurant we used to frequent in the Bay Area. It gave us a lot of nostalgia to the early days of when we met. Overall fantastic restaurant. It's quiet, with a very cozy atmosphere, perfect for some warming food in the winter. Thanks again! read more
