We used to eat here years ago when we (sort of) worked nearby. Recently, we started trying here again. I like their pumpkin curry a lot. The pumpkin is kabocha, which is a Japanese pumpkin that is firm and usually a bit sweet. YUM. My sister had the Rad Na yesterday. I tasted the sauce and I liked it, but it was a bit on the sweet side. We also tried the mango sticky rice. YUM. We always do takeout, so I can't speak to service, but the man who is always there when we happen to order is very nice. We have only been like 3 times since we started going here again, and I have the tendency to eat the same things over and over, so that's all I can write about today. I gave it 4 stars just because sometimes the taste is inconsistent. That usually happens when the cook is different, and usually happens at most restaurants, even very expensive ones, so, I don't let it stop me from going back. : ) read more

It was very good! As evident by our aftermath photo (wish we had a before sorry!) lol. We ordered pad see ew, tom yum seafood, and fried catfish and they were all delicious! They were very shareable dishes. The place was very clean and owners were very friendly. Very reasonable prices especially for LA. They had metered parking on a busy street but we found parking in the neighborhood behind the street. Would definitely recommend! read more

Good food at a reasonable price. I liked the spicy fried rice and the pad thai. Hope more people visit!

Love this place & family owned. Def recommend. Curry is solid and fried tofu is really good

Hit the spot! Ordered online and was able to pick up shortly after. Large portion, reasonable price. Will definitely add to my rotating list of take out places for thai food. Thank you! read more

First time eating here for us service was fast because we were the only table in an empty restaurant on the sun day afternoon was just surprising because this is a very nice little Thai restaurant. Y'all enjoyed our food, the green curry, the red curry, and the pad Thai noodles we're all Very tasty. I would come back again. read more

The food here at Talay Thai is the best Thai in the area! The prices are reasonable and portions great. We have lived in the neighborhood for a while and this place never disappoints. They have a lot of vegetarian options too as well as super fresh ingredients. Service is always quick and the ambiance is relaxing. read more

Food was good and plentiful for the lunch special. Waiter was quick and responsive to our requests. Place was well lit from natural light and not too crowded so a great place to wind down after ciclavia. read more

Very clean with Minimalist, yet tasteful, decorating. Plenty of room so you don't have to listen to neighboring conversations. The food is always very good--I always order any dishes with shrimp with the shrimp on the side so it's not overcooked. My very favorite appetizer dish is the Summer Rolls and I could drink the dipping sauce, it's that good! The do make noodle-type substitutions if you wish. I've done take-out on quite a few occasions, my go-to dish is the lamb with the gently spicy, and very tasty, panang sauce. I order it medium rare so when I get it home and reheat it, it's done to perfection and the sauce is AMAZING. Servers are helpful and professional. Can't say enough good about this place. I've been coming here for 10+ years and have never been disappointed. read more

Great food good prices and friendly service. This place is the first Thai food restaurant I've found that can decrease the spice on the curry dishes. My new go to place. read more

Good Thai food! We got the sweet and sour soup and pad see ew with beef--both were good! The plates are definitely large enough to share. Service was very nice too. When we visited on a Monday night there was nobody else at the restaurant so we had no issue with seating. This was my first time trying Thai food so I don't really know what its quality tastes like compared to other places but I certainly enjoyed it! read more

The service is really kind, I felt like the (presumably) owner really wanted us to enjoy the food. The ambiance was a little run down and lonely, but it was late and foggy so maybe that was the part of the reason LOL. Anywho, the food was good! Papaya salad: this was quite good. Loved the green beans and shrimp they had in the salad. Tasted fresh and refreshing. Prik Khing: it's not too spicy as I had feared. There is a lot of veggies in here, and we got it with tofu. Comes with a rice. Tastes like the red sauce they douse it in, which tastes red pepper based. Beef pad see ew: the texture of the beef was a bit weird - it was crumbly and didn't taste fresh. The sauce was a bit sweeter than I'm used to, but I liked the Chinese broccoli in there. I'd recommend avoiding this dish. read more

Hi everyone Talay Thai is now open on Mondays from 3:00 pm to 9:00 Pad Thai Drunken Noodle is very good I love the Thai Sausage salad

Great food, clean location, great service. I think the prices are affordable - lunch special was good.

We ordered 3 dishes, and the pad see ew was the best of them. I would come order from here again for this dish. The chicken larb salad was mediocre and could've been more flavor - we've had better ones at other Thai restaurants in the Westside. The lettuce was all chopped up, which was a little weird as I'm used to getting whole pieces of lettuce so you can wrap the chicken in. The drunken noodles was the worst of the dishes. I ordered this because it had a good review on Uber eats, but the noodles were way overcook, lacked flavor, and was not spicy at all. read more

flavors are similar to ocha restaurants but this is more authentic. the service is good and fast. very nice people.

Date: February 11, 2022 We've ordered delivery from this restaurant once before but this time we actually went to dine in. Located in Santa Monica Blvd and Sawtelle so it's super close to our apt. The hubs and I walked over around 1230 for a quick lunch date and we were the only ones there. It took a minute to get ahold of someone as they were all in the back kitchen but we were seated and our order was taken. We ordered: 1. Pineapple fried rice- a little oily but taste was average. Wished there were more pineapples and cashews though. I think I only had like 3 in the whole plate. 2. Cha-po- first time having this dish. Wasn't a big fan personally. Hubs enjoyed it though. The bbq pork and chicken were super soggy and that's just not how I like my meats. Sauce was good though. 3. Chicken paid Thai- this one was yummy! I love pad Thai and this one wasn't too bad! Love that the noodles are really chewy and the sauce is plentiful. Wish it came with a lemon/lime though. Overall, average price for West LA. Not the best Thai food but definitely wonderful for it's convenient location to us and satisfies my Thai cravings. Server is pretty quiet but was attentive so thank you. read more

**PICTURES TAKEN AFTER WE STARTED EATING*** Food was excellent. Friendly service, good menu selection. Everything came out from the kitchen quickly, and was super fresh. There are some negative reviews on here about this restaurant, but I believe this place is as good as the rest! We ate late into the evening on a Friday, and it wasn't busy. If you want good results, I would recommend the same. I will be coming back to try more dishes from their menu. read more

Very good authentic Thai food. Don't be deceived by the location and small size. Duck noodle soup was perfecto!

Pay heed to the one star reviews - they're accurate! Service was ok. Food was abysmal. Won't be back.

Talay Thai is a good place to stop at if you're already in the area craving Thai and don't want to break the bank. The food is very average, and the prices and customer service are good. The reason I'm giving this place 4 stars is because I've gone here so many times since it fits my needs: 1. Close By: it's a walkable distance from my place. 2. Cheap: large portions for the price! I easily split my pad Thai into two meals. 3. Effective Service: I've never had to wait long for my order. Even when I use their free delivery (I live within 3 miles of the restaurant)! I've tried many items on their menu, including: pad Thai, drunken noodles, beef and broccoli, lemon chicken, Thai tea, and regular tea. I wasn't impressed with their beef and broccoli or the lemon chicken at all. It tasted like microwaved meals. The pad Thai and drunken noodles were decent but much of it is noodles. The top layer of each dish has the non-noodle items (veggies, bean sprouts, egg, meat, etc) and that's all you get: you dig in deeper and it's all noodles. I say this confidently as I've ordered multiple times here. Their Thai Tea is great though - very flavorful. Come here if you want quick Thai food on a budget but certainly don't come here expecting super quality, top notch food. read more

This is my favorite Thai delivery when I'm in Santa Monica:) I've tried Thai food from many different places around Santa Monica and West LA, but in my opinion this place is the best. Delivery is fast, everything I've ordered is good but I usually order Pad See Ew (this is my favorite Thai dish), pork sparerib, dumplings or fresh rolls. And they give you lots of food too! Please do not change anything, because I'm gonna keep ordering from them! read more

Excellent service and food! Will definitely come back! Mott a fancy place. Clean and nicely decorated.

Stumbled across this location on a work trip...clearly has become more of a takeout business at least during the week although set up for a crowd if they came. I ordered to go Kang Ka-Li curry with shrimp and the vegetable egg rolls. The curry had great flavor, tons of carrots, onions and potatoes and a good portion of shrimp. Definitely hit the spot. Now for the egg rolls...as someone that gets take out quite a bit, the "to go" boxes for freshly fried egg rolls were PERFECTLY done. They for sure understand how to ensure that your egg rolls stay crispy and hot at the same time. If your takeout doesn't have the vent holes cut in their containers, shame on them (see picture below". These were a perfect accompaniment to my meal. Well done Talay Thai...thank you for a great meal. read more

I ordered Drunken Noodle, I requested medium spice. My dish had no spice at all! Totally disappointed. I asked the server to bring the dry spices so that I could add myself. She brought the liquid spices, which are not the same. So I requested once again but with a different server. The original server got upset. It's a hit or miss. read more

Great portion. Taste Fresh Fast delivery Will defiantly order again. Been ordering from this place for a long time read more

Talay Thai Restaurant - Pad See Ew and Pad Woon Sen - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We ordered ahead of time and picked it up at the store. The staff were friendly and the food was ready for pickup the time they had indicated the food would be ready. The food itself was OK. It definitely takes care of any cravings for Thai cuisine, however, I found the dishes rather bland. The tom yum soup, especially was flavorless. I do think I may have to give this restaurant another chance and try it out again, especially considering the other reviews praising this place. read more

The portion sizes are good and everything is well priced.The pad thai was really good and service was excellent.

i got the kung pao chicken which i'll admit is kinda sus to get at a thai restaurant but it was just okay and kinda old. the restaurant wasn't busy but it was a good deal for the lunch special all this food for like $26ish?? read more

This place was great!! The food and service was wonderful. I mostly in love with the delicious food. We asked for two warm waters and a Thai tea. Thai tea was yummy and tasted sweet. They brought two cute pots of hot water! At our table we ordered green vegetable curry, parang curry, soup, and drunken noodles. Both Curry's came with rice. They were soupy consistency and has a touch of sweetness. The noodles were thick and wide! We also got vegetable rolls as an appetizer and they were very fresh. They were given with peanut sauce. They gave a generous amount of sauce which I can appreciate! read more

UberEats review: Talay Thai is a nice Thai option in the vicinity of Westwood area. The menu was nice and had variety. We ordered dumplings and tofu satey. The service was uber fast. Our order was ready for pick up in less than 5 minutes after ordering. Kudos! The packaging was average but nothing leaked. The satay was super hot and had great amount of seasoning. The peanut sauce was marvelous. Overall full value for money. Will try dine in too. read more

Ordered to deliver I was staying at the Holiday inn right next to it arrived fast and gave extra tip for bringing it up to my room. I had Pad Thai like 3 times over all but the first time I didn't know better but thought it was good 2nd time ok, but this 3rd time was the worst, now I know the first time in fact was the best in a little restaurant in Culver City. 1. Shrimp fried rice-was ok 2. Small wonton soup-bland 3. Pad Thai-sweet and tasteless 4. Something like wontons but shape like a ball it-was under cook didn't like them at all. Never again. read more

I just discovered a maggot in my green curry. It had evidently been cooked with it, because it's greenish and dead. It has stubby legs, tiny black eyes, and minuscule hairs. While I'm open to eating insects, I'm not keen on surprise ones. Photo included. read more

We got takeout from here and I thought it was decent. I always get the Pad Thai everywhere I go. This place wasn't my favorite Pad Thai, but my husband loved his drunken noodles from here. We also both enjoyed the spring rolls. I wasn't a fan of the takeout packaging (all styrofoam) but it was still pretty good food overall. read more

Excellent , and fresh and healthy Thai food in a very attractive place, lovely ambiance, and free parking in the back. Danny the owner is very nice, we particularly like the Pad Thai, some of the soups, salads, and Sate Chicken. Now that we come here we don't go to Gardena any longer for Thai food, we highly reccomend this lovely restaurant, with excellent food. read more

Ordered the pepper beef and I found 4 pieces of beef, all peppers..... can't believe I paid for that

I have always passed by Talay Thai, but I'd never given it a thought to come in to check it out. I came here a few months ago, and I truly regret not trying it sooner. I always order my staple - pad kee mao (drunken noodles) and veggie fresh rolls. I always get the noodles mild and with tofu. They make it so delicious, and they even include fried egg in the dish, which really adds a lot to the dish for me. My boyfriend's staple for Thai food is the duck curry, but when he tried my pad kee mao, he was hooked! The prices are reasonable. The servings are generous. The service is efficient and very friendly! I am so happy we tried Talay Thai, and I've made it my go-to for Thai food on the Westside. There is plenty of street/metered parking available in the surrounding area. They accept credit card, and offer take-out. read more
