Hidden Burbank Gem! Creative Dishes & Great Vibes Not from Burbank, but so glad I found Summe Buffalo! If you're looking for authentic Thai with a creative twist, this is it. It's a total gem with a cozy ambiance, plenty of street parking, and a 5-7 PM happy hour that is a total steal. The Standouts: * Larb with Chips: Such a cool, crunchy twist on a classic. The extra texture was a game-changer! * Special Pad Thai: Perfectly balanced sweetness. They actually listened when I asked for a milder spice level, which I really appreciated. * Green Beans: Hands down amazing--definitely don't skip these! * The Vibe: Super friendly and attentive staff. It's clear they are a local favorite for delivery too, but the dine-in experience was great. I'm already planning on trying the pork tacos next time I'm in town. Adding this to my permanent list of Thai recommendations! read more

We went for our lunch break during the week and had a delicious lunch. They had a table available for three and service was fast and the food came quickly as well. There was also a larger group there at the same time. They can accommodate all group sizes. There is inside and outside seating (a small area). We sat inside. We ordered three dishes and shared among the three of us, so we could try new things. The chicken satay was excellent. I was with people who were a little basic so one of our dishes was fried rice. And then noodles. I was impressed with the food so I would definitely come back. read more

Been here a few times and finally adding a review. The food tastes good but I wouldn't say it's the best thai spot in the LA area but definitely a good option if you're in the Burbank area. The server got a little confused with our order and accidentally gave the egg rolls so he said it would be on the house. The space is very cozy and small. Feels like you are a guest in someone's home. ^-^ read more

Delicious food! There's street parking but watch the signs. We went at 5pm on a Monday and easily found spots. The setting has a rustic feel including the tables and chairs which are comfortable but not overly cushy if that's your thing. It was a hot 90 degree day and they had no a/c but fans were blowing which helped. The dining room is small with some outdoor seating too. Some of the younger diners who arrived after us were loud but no fault of the restaurant. The food was terrific! We had several dishes equally beautiful and tasted great and were served quickly. My guest loves Thai and said the spice level is mild but we didn't order any of their more spicy dishes. I thought the prices were fair. Even though there are a limited number of tables, we were not rushed to leave after eating. Check their hours before planning a visit. read more

Great authentic Thai place in Burbank. Very small and nothing fancy but good for a casual meal. Owner is very nice. We got street parking and that made it easy. My bar for Thai is usually Grawpow Gai and it was good here. They do the deep fried egg here if that is your preference. Offered spice levels and I did Medium. They also provided me a small tin of hotter fresh chili sauce and that elevated it further! I could have used more basil (it didn't taste like Thai basil to me) but they did a proper chicken mince. Pork for this dish is my preference but it was not listed as an option and I didn't ask. My co-diners enjoyed their meals except for my wife and her Pad Thai which she thought was missing flavor. I'd go again to support this business and will try a curry next. read more

I have to say, it's rare to find something so blissfully delicious and cozy with a view to boot. Thai food really isn't something I eat often, but wow is it flavorful and had textures that compliment eachother so very well. Our server was super friendly and chatted us up a little, and in all honesty the menu feels focused and intentional with everything it offer. My orange chicken with white rice had splendidly crispy chicken with a lightly sweetened sauce that paired oh so nicely with my iced thai tea. It's an absolute pleasure to eat somewhere with such a nice vibe. I'll be back, for sure :) Cheers! read more

Tonight was my first time eating here and I loved everything! We sat inside, the food was delicious and the service was excellent. My companion is a chef and she loved the food, too. Will be coming back for sure! read more

A small gem located in Burbank this Thai place was full of flavor. Parking is a bit tricky and the inside itself is quite small its flavors are bold and delicious making it worth a try. Our service was okay. Everything was great until we finished eating but we're still chatting. it almost seemed like the waitress didn't want us there. The tom kha soup was my personal favorite but everything else was also really good. read more

My husband and I love Summer Buffalo! They have some of the best Thai food in L.A. Our favorite dishes are the Signature Pad Thai, the Vegetable Fried Rice, and the Grapow Chicken Wings. My husband also really loves their Orange Chicken. We always get take-out, but the restaurant is so clean and adorable inside. They also have an outdoor patio with about four tables. Every single worker is so kind as well. Thanks for the great food and service, Summer Buffalo! We'll be back again soon! read more

Delicious Thai food in downtown Burbank! The service was very attentive, despite how busy they get (sometimes it may not seem like it but they do have a lot of carry outs). The place is relatively small but they have indoor and outdoor sitting. The menu is impressive, with diverse options that ensure everyone will find something they love. My curry noodles with salmon were absolutely perfect. The flavors were so incredible. Truly worth a return visit! read more

I've come here twice to try the lunch special. Although it is a good deal, I have found the food to be underwhelming and lacking in flavor. I am a huge fan of peanut butter and peanut sauce, but found both their peanut salad dressing and peanut sauce served with the satay to be odd and flavorless. The pad Thai was pale and lacking in flavor as well. I have just tried the pad Thai and chicken satay, and was pretty disappointed with both. read more

After walking around the mall on a pleasant summer evening, our group decided on Thai food for dinner. Street parking was starting to fill up around 7pm, though there were still plenty of spots. We were also fortunate to find seating since it's such a small restaurant, but it seems most people come by for takeout anyways. Interior decor can be described as cozy. I went with the Pad Kee Mau, while the others ordered the Pad Thai and the Green Curry of Greens and Tofu. Wait was around 20 minutes likely due to their number of orders to go, so our server gladly refilled our metal cups with iced cold water with lemon. The Pad Kee Mau was served on a simple white plate and had a generous portion of flat rice noodles with a good mix of chicken, onion, basil, green and red bell peppers. The others were happy with their orders as well and each dish smelled delicious. Next time I would probably give their curries a go. read more

My mom discovered this place perusing Instagram and wanted to try them. We went for lunch and were immediately greeted. The staff were very kind and attentive. It was a very chill environment with great music but another party arrived, and were very loud which messed up the vibe. My mom ordered the lunch special Pad Thai with chicken while I had the entree size. We also have the crispy spring rolls. I enjoyed both the Pad Thai and crispy fried egg rolls but unfortunately my mom did not like her Pad Thai. They were gracious enough to remove the item from our bill with no issue. I would give them another try, they had some interesting menu items I was curious about. Once I go again, I hope to update my review but they are worth giving a try! read more

I had a very nice time in what was unanimously deemed by my friends a quaint and cozy establishment. The food was well-priced and the lunch specials were just the right amount of food.

Wonderful Thai flavors can be found at this location! I really loved the warmth of the dining area inside. I felt very comfortable and at home as I ate a couple Thai comfort food favorites: Roti which are Asian flatbread slices served with a delicious green curry sauce and Grapow Gai with the classic fried egg, minced chicken, Thai chili, basil leaves, onions and steamed rice. I asked for some prik nam pla sauce and poured it and the chilis on top of the dish. Prik nam pla is a Thai condiment made from fish sauce mixed with chopped chilies, often enhanced with lime juice and garlic. It is used as a flavor booster for various dishes, similar to how salt and pepper are used in Western cuisine. Graprow / Kaprow (lots of different spellings...!) is definitely boosted by this sauce! The portions were perfect and I was able to consume the whole meal there. I will definitely be coming back and would recommend it to others! Lots of local folks stopped in for takeout. Seems like that was the most popular option in the Burbank on the night I came. The one server was a super sweet young Thai lady and was kept very busy putting together the to go orders but not too busy to check on me and make sure I was good to go. read more

We ordered gyoza, fried dumplings, edamame, drunken noodles, Thai fried rice, orange chicken, khoa soi, grapow gai, and a few drinks for 6 people. It was the perfect amount of food, shared. I think it's very standard Thai food, nothing particularly stand out but reliably good. The drunken noodles were ordered mild but maybe it's just the seasoning that gives it a little kick. If you're super sensitive to spice I might avoid that one but it was very good. We got two mango sticky rice for dessert and it was delicious. Their Thai tea and lemon soda were very good. The service was great. Inside was decorated well and had a good amount of seating. They have indoor and outdoor seating with heat lamps outside if it gets cold read more

It's our go-to. Always great. Nice to eat either inside or outside. Consistently good. read more

Hands-down, the best Thai food in the valley. They're drunken noodles are amazing as are there buffalo wings. read more

Summer Buffalo - Drunken Noodles - chicken - Thai Near Me - Burbank, California

I haven't dined in at Summer Buffalo (yet!), but I've ordered from them many times--and they never disappoint. My go-to is the Pad See Ew and the Mango with Coconut Sticky Rice, and both are absolutely delicious every single time. The noodles are perfectly cooked with just the right amount of smoky flavor, and the mango sticky rice is pure comfort food--sweet, creamy, and always fresh. What keeps me coming back is the consistency. The quality doesn't waver from order to order, which is rare and super appreciated. Whether you're craving a savory, satisfying meal or a sweet treat to top it off, Summer Buffalo delivers--literally and figuratively. Can't wait to visit in person someday! read more

Absolutely 10 out of 10! You will not be disappointed!! Staff have stellar service and the food is so great ! The atmosphere is chill mode ... .. wooden table and chairs just creates such a great vibe read more

What a gem of a place. Service was awesome, and the food was sooooo good. We started with the crispy fried egg rolls. They were smaller than a normal egg roll, more like a Spring roll, but really good. For our main dishes we got the Pad See You with chicken, and the yellow curry with chicken. Both entrees were excellent. Can't wait to come back the next time we are in town . read more

My bestie brought me to Summer Buffalo, one of her favorite neighborhood restaurants. The restaurant is cozy and cute with a rustic chill interior. Our server greeted us upon arrival was extremely friendly. The food here is simply delicious and made fresh. Started off with their signature wings and curry dumpling. Wings are fried to a great crisp and is covered with flavorful sauce. The curry dumpling is something I have never had before. The curry sauce is so good that we asked for him to leave the dish even when we finished all the dumplings. We ordered the red curry beef lunch special and the pad see ew. Our dishes came out in a timely manner and was served fresh and hot. What I love about Summer Buffalo, whether I am at the Melrose location or this location, is that the food is just simply GOOD. So much flavor and seasoned where nothing is needed, not even chili sauce. That's a lot to say because i love chili sauce. The food here is served great just as it is. I would definitely come back to this location. read more

Pretty solid spot for takeout. I've ordered a few times now and my go-to is definitely pad see ew and gradow gai. So freaking good. Wasn't a fan of their tom kha; had an overwhelming lime taste but maybe it was just that batch of soup that day. read more

Good food. Good service. Attentive without being overbearing. Always get extra food so I can have a bite of everything as well as leftovers!

Our local Thai go to place. Small family oriented food joint with the best Thai food in all of LA. I usually get the Pad See You and it's consistently delicious every single time. Services is top notch, the place is always clean and the prices are unbelievable ( especially lunch specials) read more

I've been coming to Summer Buffalo for years and always order the pad Thai, however I ordered for pick up today. The flavors were mild and the noodles were a little softer than I like also the color was a little off I don't think I've ever had pale pad Thai. Portion size was decent and service was friendly, but the shrimp wasn't deveined, which was a bit off-putting. The vibe of the place was nice, but I probably wouldn't come back just for this dish. read more

I'm so glad we stopped in for lunch! This place was amazing. The outside patio is very cute. Inside is small and quaint. The service was spot on! We started with a curry dumpling appetizer that was so good. I can see ordering a couple of these with some rice or noodles and calling it a day. Yum! My sister had the drunken noodles. AMAZING! And I had the Tom Ka soup which was delicious! We also both had a Thai tea, which was perfect as well. Good food. Excellent service. Great prices! A must for any Thai lover. read more

I always pass by this place and finally made the time to try it and it was amazing! The food was very good and the service was very fast. The space is small and you can either do takeout or sit outside and enjoy your meal. The price was also not bad, i would say it's affordable.
