Thai Iced Tea
Athena K.

Another review here said it best...I cannot believe this place is just casually serving FIRE Vietnamese and Thai food under one roof at Janss. This place is one of my favorite places to eat in the Conejo Valley. I've loved their menu even before the rebrand! Now Sweet Rice Kitchen is back with even more flavorful dishes and bigger portions. My go-tos are their pho (still need to try the post-rebrand version) and pad see ew. I love how light their pad see ew is - not too salty or sauced. If you're down for something more rich and sweet/savory, get the Khao Soi. There was so much meat and noodles that I couldn't finish my bowl! Tips: I recommend ordering all their dishes "spicy." I did not get any spice even with a "mild" level. And always order a Thai iced tea to go with your meal!

Veggie Egg rolls
Terry P.

As we entered, we were immediately greeted and the waitress seemed busy and asked us to grab menus as we went ahead and sat ourselves. We looked over the menu for a few minutes and then she came by and asked if we were ready to order. We were still looking at the menu, so she came back a few minutes later. We were now ready and placed our order. We went with pad see ew with shrimp, veggie egg rolls, house fried rice with chicken, and papaya salad. It is so nice and inviting inside, with the sounds of the wok being worked. Everything came out pretty quickly, and the food and service are amazing as usual! Everything was well made. The flavors are great, the ratios are perfect, the amounts were right. It was all good!!! Definitely give this place a try!

Curry Pineapple
I.A R.

Coming here for lunch occasionally, and so far every visit has been a good experience. They have very affordable lunch prices, and the staff is really nice and fast. Of course, I go with my favorite dish, the Pad Thai, and I love it. My boss usually orders the Pineapple Curry, and she loves it as well. The portions are huge, and we always have leftovers to take home. Highly recommend it, especially for lunch.

Pho
Ari G.

Delicious pho and honestly such a great experience. Being pregnant makes me extra picky about cleanliness and meat quality, and this place totally passed the test -- super clean, fresh ingredients, and the meat was high quality with zero gristly bits (which I really appreciated). Everything was flavorful, service was quick and friendly, and I'll definitely be back.

Outside
Karen L.

It would have been a five star review except for some missteps in service. A group of us went on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. The place wasn't crowded so we were seated right away. Everyone ordered various dishes. I had the spicy eggplant and the Lomo Saltado with tofu. They were both delicious. The problem was with one of the dishes. Someone in our group also ordered the Lomo Saltado with beef but for some reason it was taking forever to come. Everyone else got their dishes except that one. We had to ask the server a few times. When it did come out it had the wrong protein, they brought it out with tofu instead of the beef. I felt bad for my friend. Not only did she have to wait a long time for her food but it came out incorrectly. She told the server but she went ahead and accepted it. I think she didn't want to wait again. The server at that point should have been more apologetic and even possibly offered a complimentary drink to compensate for their mistake. I was a bit disappointed in the lack of service recovery. Good thing the dishes were tasty and most likely we will be back again. Hopefully the service will be better next time.

Kha soi
Ping P.

So delicious! We got the combo pho and kha soi (curry noodles). Both had lots of flavor and are generous with their portions. Service was super nice and efficient. Clean, new feeling vibe. We will definitely come back to try more menu items.

Orange chicken

Everything was fresh. The owners were very kind and service was quick. 10/0 I have no complaints. We had the orange chicken and it was perfectly crispy and the combo pho. Both were so delicious. Can't wait to try more of the menu

Bomb chicken wings!!
Ron W.

Came to have lunch, after the gym, and recall there was a ownership change. I was super hungry and wanted try 2 dishes however wanted it in " to go" boxes , so I can pack them up. The server was very friendly and understood wanting to nibble on two meals. The drunken noodles with beef was awesome! I had it medium spice level, however it felt kinda hotter than that however it was tolerable to devour. Great portions and good amount of vegetables & meat. Their other speciality ( per their menu) is orange chicken however they use thigh meat. I typically don't order this dish but the impulse was there and must go forward. It was also very good. I also had a Vietnamese coffee to enjoy. There is plenty of seating inside and outside patio. Would return.

Garlic noodles with shrimp
Ashley K.

I've come here for pho many times, but forgot to leave a review. Today, I had Garlic noodle dish with Parmesan, and it came with horseradish dressing on side for the lil shrimp. The papaya salad was fresh and flavorful. Staff are friendly. Place is clean..all good!

Pho brisket and Basil Leaves with a Singha
Byron D.

Pho brisket and Basil Leaves with a Singha and watching the NBA highlights oh yeah! What else do you need. The male cashier and the owner are wonderful and go over the top to make sure your at home and all your hunger pains go away. Perfect meal and great people.

Lychee lemonade
Carla R.

ambiance is casual. Service is done by young bloods lol I mean younger generations- our server was nice and accommodating, very sweet and knowledgeable, but it's like we have to ask for everything. We ordered chicken curry that has soup or juice in it, and we had to ask for spoon on several times... we had to ask for water and straws and napkins. Food tastes great though and good portions for the price.

Ribeye pho

Had the ribeye pho and it was ready very quickly and delicious! The staff are friendly and attentive. I've also had the khao soi which is incredible and nice to find as not all Thai restaurant serve it.

Sandra R.

After witnessing the cook sneeze repeatedly and then handle my food, the microwave, and the rice bag without proper hygiene, I requested cancellation of my order. The cashier informed me that the refund process would take several days or potentially just 10 minutes. Not only was I disturbed by the cook's actions, but I was also told to expect a delay in receiving my refund of $71.52. (while I waited to get a VOIDED receipt, two ladies overheard my conversation with Miguel, the cashier, and promptly exited.) The cook handling food without proper hygiene warrants consideration for him to receive the "Worst Employee Of The Year Award. Due to this incident, my experience at Ot Bistro is a negative star review (also I do not have any comments about the ambiance because in this situation the ambiance is irrelevant.)

The Japanese Sukiyaki base was perfectly mild and flavorful -- exactly what I needed. Paired with tender chicken and fresh veggies, it hit the spot without being heavy. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. The restaurant itself is adorable -- bright, floral decor that feels welcoming and clean. Service was super friendly and attentive (shoutout to Alina for the great service! ). Portions are generous for the price, and the quality is top-tier. I also grabbed a simple hot tea that was perfect. This place is a true fusion win: authentic Thai flavors + customizable hot pots + excellent boba. Family-owned vibes shine through in every bite. If you're in the Westlake Village / Thousand Oaks area, do yourself a favor and go. I'll definitely be back soon -- highly recommend! Pro tip: Try the mini hot pot with Sukiyaki or Miso and chicken. You won't regret it.

She really knows how to welcome her customers without being overbearing. We had the thai tea, shrimp roll, watercourt duck and the ocean noodle combo (i forgot the name lol) and everything was the right amount of flavor and amazing presentation to it.

That said, the service can be a bit slow and confusing--especially for takeout. There doesn't seem to be a clear system in place for pickups. On my most recent visit, we checked in with a staff member who told us our order was still being prepared. After waiting around for 10-15 min, another staff member grabbed our order from the counter right in front of us...it had apparently been ready the whole time. I really like the food and want to keep coming back, but the takeout experience could definitely use some improvement.
