Thai restaurant located in downtown El Segundo…read more I first want to start off by giving five stars to our waitress Patty. She was so funny and engaging. She is a one woman comedy show. She was so nice but also joked with our table the entire time. There were a lot of fun options to choose from. For appetizers, we got the jerky, salad, wings, and wonton soup. The soup is big enough for the entire table to share. For my meal, I got the cashew chicken, which was delicious. My spouse got the spicy basil beef, which she loved. The portions are big enough for the entire table to share which we did. Overall, we had a great experience and it was a lovely meal.

*** Michelin Plate ***…read more Located in Westchester by LAX, Ayara Thai is widely considered one of the best Thai restaurants in Los Angeles outside of Thai Town. This past weekend was my first time here and it did not disappoint. We arrived around 12:30pm and were surprised to find out it was takeout only for lunch. They did have outdoor tables, however, which was nice. We ended up sharing the Khao Soi and Shrimp Pad Pong Kari. While both were delicious, I'd give the edge to the Shrimp Pad Pong Kari. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out.

We were looking for a place close to LAX and decided to give Thai Bistro a try. Overall, a solid…read morechoice for a quick and satisfying Thai meal. We ordered the fresh rolls, Pad See Ew with beef, and green curry with chicken. The fresh rolls were just okay--I've definitely had better--but the Pad See Ew and green curry made up for it. The noodles were flavorful with a nice char, and the curry had a good balance of spice and creaminess. If you're in the area and craving Thai food, it's worth a stop! Great service and good atmosphere.

I loved the pad thai. It was really tasty, and the exact taste I've searching for. The coconut chicken soup was very meh. I didn't enjoy it and wound up throwing it out; however, I would definitely return for the pas thai.

The good: It was easy to make reservations by phone. I had…read morethe tofu pad see ew, satay chicken skewers, and chicken panang curry. It's walking distance to the beach so it's a really picturesque area during dinner when the sun is setting. The staff were nice and patient. The panang curry was delicious and balanced. The consistency wasn't too thick. The skewers came with a nice pickled cucumber side and a peanut sauce. The kids enjoyed it. There were a lot of dessert and vegetarian options. The interior is quaint and good for smaller groups. The bad: The greens in the pad see ew were very bitter and the flavor was salty. I felt like it didn't have great wok flavor. There's no outdoor seating. The interesting: I paid for metered parking right in front of the restaurant but there's also a parking garage across the street. There are toy cars in the cabinet. I'm not sure if they're meant for display or for kid guests to play with.

Jetta Thai has reopened as Jetta Thai Express. It shares a location with Cafe Toast and opens after…read moreToast closes. You order from the tablet (or up front) much like Cafswiftly. The dishes are kind of like a small plates setting. A bowl is just a small amount of food to accompany your base (rice or veggies). The bowls are said to rotate by the day which I take to mean as preprepared (hence express). The staff were polite and brought the food out swiftly. I ordered a fried rice base and a green curry chicken bowl. The fried rice was a bit too wet (like freshly cooked rice turned into fried rice) and lacking a strong soy sauce presence; however, it does mean that it pairs well with the curry without being overwhelming. The curry has a bright fresh flavor with a creamy coconut milk taste and was definitely the highlight of the meal. I also managed to sample their soft serve. The flavors were Thai tea and blue butterfly. They tasted pretty standard and the Thai tea and blue butterfly definitely shone through, but not much else. All in all, one of the better places to eat at in El Segundo and the small plates style is definitely an interesting concept.

The concept is interesting and needs a lot of tinkering. In the morning this place is a cafe called…read moreToast, and after they transition it to a pickup only location. As you walk towards the building there's a small sign that says the restaurant name. Aside from that you wouldn't know where to go and would be confused. The restaurant itself is nice but it's only for the breakfast cafe. You walk towards a kiosk and place your food order. Unfortunately I learned the hard way that it's better to just order online. It was chaos and confusing as the person onsite couldn't give me a timeline of when my food would be ready, but you're watching orders flying out the doors. In total I waited 45 minutes only to be reminded that I couldn't dine in, but wasn't told how long my order would be. Food was subpar, portion was small and bland. The fried rice was very dry and inedible, it taste like it's a couple of days old. The Tom Kha was decent, not the best I've had but it was good enough to enjoy. The Penang curry was very flavorful and had a good kick, this would be my favorite. Order ahead of time, there's nothing personable about this place.

We hosted a family gathering for Mother's Day and decided to get takeout from here. I usually avoid…read moreAmericanized Thai food, but this place stood out because it looked genuinely authentic. We spent about $200 for 9 dishes, and it was worth every penny. Everything we ordered was delicious and packed with authentic flavors. The dishes with beef deserve a special shoutout because the meat was exceptionally tender. Everyone in the family thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The restaurant itself was modern, clean, and the service was friendly. The only issue is the parking lot, which is extremely tight. Finding a spot even for a quick takeout pickup can be a challenge. Also, be careful with the spice levels because the spicy dishes definitely pack a serious punch. Highly recommended!

Hidden Garden Thai is so great. You will just love it. We go there a lot because it is near us, but…read morewe also do pick up. The place is just beautiful. It is newer and it is so well maintained. You can tell they care about this place. The seating is very comfortable and there usually is not a wait, but call them before you go. I think you can sign up on line. I never have done that. The service is wonderful. They know the menu well and will help you and make suggestions. My favorite is their spring rolls, their fried rice and their Pad Thai. They also have the best shrimp rolls that are huge and fried to perfection. Their crab noodles are a must try and you will love any of their pork dishes. There is just not a bad dish there. It is all great. We also enjoy their vegan menu.

Service was quick and all of our dishes came out surprisingly fast, which made the experience smooth for a larger party. We ordered the tom yum soup, tom kha soup, pineapple fried rice, yellow curry, pad see ew, crying tiger, and pad thai. Most of the food was flavorful and satisfying -- the pineapple fried rice, pad see ew, mango sticky rice, and crying tiger were standouts for our table. Portions were also good. The only dish I personally didn't enjoy was the tom kha soup since the coconut flavor was extremely strong and the texture/consistency felt a little off to me. Ambiance-wise, the restaurant was casual, but it did feel a bit odd seeing huge piles of boxes inside and a broken light fixture during our visit. Overall, the food and friendly service made up for it, and we still had a good group dining experience here.

Two other groups that were there also voiced their disappointment. They should make it a point to tell people as you walk in "by the way we have a surcharge for dining in". It's a shame because of this will not return despite their food being good. I sure didn't leave a tip!! That was their tip. It seems they specialize in DoorDash. I'm sure they charge there also. Very disappointed. Something should be done about this!!

I got the pad see ew with tofu and would definitely recommend this to others Mango sticky rice: 4/5 presentation was super cute and the mango itself was super good.

I heard some good things from a coworker about Thailandia, a new Thai spot in El Segundo near my…read morework, so I decided to check it out. It definitely didn't disappoint. We ordered the Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and Drunken Noodles to go. The flavor was good across the board--all three dishes were on point, and I was especially glad the Pad Thai wasn't overly sweet. One really helpful thing to know before ordering is how they handle their heat. They give you four options: no spice, little spice, American spice, and Thai spice. We got a mix of the first three. The American spice had the perfect amount of kick for me, and the kids were really happy with the no spice and little spice versions. The food held up great as takeout, but I honestly think it would be even better eating it fresh right there in the restaurant. Overall, it's a solid new addition to the area with authentic flavors and customizable heat. I'll definitely be going back, probably to dine in next time.

Super attentive, maybe even to a fault but I'd rather a server be invested than not. Quite possibly the best Thai Iced tea I've ever had. I don't like them too sweet, watery or tasting artificial. There's something different about the flavor profile here that just hits. I got a salad. Forgot which one, but it had lots of colorful tasty veggies. The dressing was beautifully balanced with a light, sweet vinegar. Nice large portion! A cup of Tom Kha paired nicely, and value for money is exceptional with this dish as well. I definitely felt like I was getting my money's worth with those nice big juicy shrimp. Love that every single ingredient they use is FRESH. Can't wait to try more dishes here!

The wings were just ok, the sauce made it a little better. The server was really nice and the service was quick. I don't like that the suggested tip section was circled on the receipt. I find that to be rude and an insult as if I don't know to tip, it actually makes me tip less because I assume you think I'm not going to tip or won't tip enough. They have plenty of tables for dining in and there's a large parking lot.

Pez was our server and she was so helpful with our menu choices. We had the handmade dumplings, spring rolls, and imperial rolls. Plenty of food for 2. Everything was flavorful and fresh.

The overall service was only fair at best. I think they were short on staff. The restaurant was busy but not jammed. Our servers were friendly and did help with suggestions but getting the food out in a timely and orderly fashion was really lacking. We ordered 2 starters. We got one order and then 15-20 minutes later we got the 2nd order. When it came to our main course, my friend's dinner arrived and mine showed up 5-10 minutes later. The quality and taste of our meal was just ok. Spring rolls good, dumplings were only ok. They were salty and were not very flavorful. The sea bass was nice but overall nothing special.
