    No more seafood or brunch after your Santa Monica beach day? Why not authentic Thai food instead? Most entrees start at around $18 ! great price in the area. Must-try: 1 Young coconut red curry : red curry served in a real young coconut, so unique and sooo good 2 Green curry : legit authentic flavor 3 Chicken satay : my fave Thai street food 4 Pineapple fried rice : huge portion, kids love the sweet taste And don't skip the Thai tea - a must-order! Save this spot for your next Santa Monica trip IG: socalhkfoodies

    The BEST Thai Food in Santa Monica!! Serving Authentic Thai Dishes for over 35 years! It's the perfect spot for lunch or dinner!! Check out their lunch specials Monday - Friday 11 - 3pm. Bold, vibrant and balanced flavors--a harmonious mix of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy, with a hint of bitterness and creamy notes. Intensely aromatic with a spicy kick. They all work together to make each dish come alive. Some of our favorite dishes of the night were the TOM KHA THAI SPICY COCONUT SOUP, SQUID SALAD, PANANG ROASTED CURRY, PAD SEE EW and CHOCOLATE TEMPTATION CAKE!! Thai Dishes Wilshire is at their new location in Santa Monica, with private rooms perfect for any celebration, work lunch or dinner! They also have a full bar with beer and wine. Great customer service from Rodrigo, Mayt and Aaor.

    Was craving fried rice, got the yellow curry fried rice with shrimp and it was some of the most delicious fried rice I've had in my life. Big serving for sharing or leftovers. They really get into the holiday decor it seems like. Employees are so kind and polite, super attentive and I noticed they were really careful to not interrupt conversations.

    Lunch specials and beer!

    The lunch specials are an excellent value: generous portion sizes and very tasty. The flat noodle dishes have a wonderful smoky taste from stir frying and the curry dishes have a healthy kick of spice at "Medium". The servers were both attentive and checked in with us at regular intervals to make sure everything was good. The interior is cozy on a rainy LA day and offers enough privacy between tables to comfortably converse while the overall vibe is fairly lively. Will definitely be back!

    A cozy Thai place in Santa Monica with good lunch deal. For the same price from the menu, if you order the lunch items in their lunch hours, they give you extra rice and a snack for free. As a Thai person, I think the dishes were delicious, but way too sweet. If the sweetness can be reduced 50-70%, it would be perfect for me. We tried a lot of dishes and had a Thai food feast here. What I think was good: crying tiger, fried rice, cashew. Somtum and curry were too sweet for me. They also have Thai beers: Singha and Chang, which you probably want to order to pair with the dishes. There was a small free parking lot at the back, which was very needed for the area. Service was very nice. Servers were happy to help.

    Thai Dishes definitely satisfied my Thai food craving. The Pad See Ew here was heavenly (the best I've had), flavorful, tender beef, and perfectly cooked noodles. Unfortunately, the Pad Thai noodles lacked flavor and were overcooked. I think the food here can be a hit or miss but the portions are great and it's good food overall. I wouldn't go out of my way for it but if you're in the area, I'd check it out!

    We went earlier this week for lunch. Hadn't been since they'd relocated. There is lots of meter parking in front and on the sides od the establishment. Behind the restaurant there is 2 handicap spots and limited regulat parking. The establishment was clean, offered plenty of seating and our server was really nice. We didn't have to wait long for food but it tasted fresh and delicious. We got a couple Thai teas that were also great just a bit too sweet for my preference so the waiter was kind enough to add a bit more tea to balance it.

    I love tom kha gai, and it's one of my go-to dishes at Thai restaurants. My friend got takeout from here, and it was THE best one I've had so far. I got medium spicy to be on the safe side, and I can definitely go a level higher next time.

    Thai Dishes Wilshire - Santa Monica Serving Santa Monica since 1981 This local gem has been dishing out Thai comfort classics for over four decades and it shows. The Chicken Satay is smoky and tender, with a peanut sauce that deserves its own spotlight. Chicken Kapow packs a fiery punch with basil and chili, while the Chicken Curry is rich, aromatic, and soul-warming. Don't skip dessert: the lemon tart is zesty and refreshing, and the chocolate cake adds a decadent finish. Vibe: No-frills, fast service, and flavors that speak louder than decor. Felix the Cat's Pick: Chicken Kapow--bold, spicy, and totally addictive.

    Good food and menu full of Thai staples. Had all the classics: pad see ew, pad Thai, crying tiger, papaya salads tom kha. Very big shareable portions. So delicious. You can use the in store discount code "VIP" to get a Thai tea for free while dining in.

    Welcome to @thaidisheswilshire the most amazing authentic Thai food filled with incredible people and even better dishes! Had to start off with my favorite Thai tea, I went during the day to enjoy all the super affordable lunch options yay! The pad thai and the pineapple fried rice was my favorite, don't forget mango sticky rice for dessert! Cheers to finding the best ambiance

    Absolutely the worst 3 dishes from any restaurant! Over cooked , drenched in sauce on salad almost half a bowl, meat dry to the bone . Our pad Thai chicken was over done and noodles with no taste ! The service was good this place nothing worth it .,$77.00 throwing in the disposal. A shame since we live in the neighborhood. Never to waste money again on garbage food.

    Crimson - KALE CHICKEN CAESAR WRAP(WHITE MEAT)

    I always go to the crimson on ocean park but I needed a sit down place with outlets so I could get…read moresome journaling in so I ran into this location. sooo yummy as always, their sweet potato fries are eliteeee, a must try side. I also got an iced coffee which was delicious. the server was really nice and the food cake out quick. love it here

    Where do I begin?…read more This was my last day in the beautiful land of California, and before heading out to catch my flight back to the South, I was craving Mediterranean food. I've been on a bit of a Mediterranean kick lately, thank you Cava for that. First impressions? The environment was beautiful. Seriously photo worthy. As a photographer, I couldn't help but admire the architecture inside and around the area. It had that visual vibe that made me excited to be there. There was no line when we walked in, so I quickly landed on my order: the Crimson Chicken Wrap (white meat) with a side of babaganoush, and the Chicken Shawarma (dark meat) with a side of fries. Everything sounded solid. But then... we waited. And waited. Over 30 minutes passed. In that time, about 3 to 4 other customers came in, placed their orders, got their food, and left. Meanwhile, we were still waiting on two of their more popular items. I tried to be patient, gave them the benefit of the doubt, until I saw someone who arrived 25 minutes after us get their Chicken Shawarma within 10 minutes of walking in. Given that we were on a time crunch with other places to be, the delay was beyond frustrating. We ended up speaking with the manager and shared our concerns, but by that point, the experience was already soured. Now for the food. I wanted to like it. The first bite had promise, but after that, it just felt like I was eating out of obligation. For the price point, the service delays, and the lackluster flavor, I honestly can't recommend the entrées I tried. The coffee? It seemed to be good, but not enough to bring me back just for that. I wish I could give Crimson a stronger review, especially because the space itself is stunning. But in the end, it was a case of style over substance. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5, though I did walk away with some great photos, at least.
