    Pad Thai
    Rachel L.

    Pretty bad, sorry (not really). I got a PostMates deal that's why I figured I'd try this place again after 5 years. The Thai tea is ok(nothing special), but the Pad Thai is bad. It tastes super sour like extra vinegar was put in the noodles. Also there's no green onions, only rice noodle + pad thai sauce + some bean sprouts and chicken... It tastes like a mixture of instant pad Thai sauce you could get in the store + rice noodle that's it. No lime no green onions, it's lacking flavour and very plain yet super sour. Not coming back again, and I felt sorry for whoever paid full price to eat here because it ain't it.

    Literally the worst Thai food I've ever had. I felt bad but the food was not good. I got a Thai tea which was only decent and the Mongolian beef as pictured was bland, tasted old and also the noodles were so soggy. It was inedible. The meat smelled weird. We literally got a side of rice and crab rangoons only to eat which wasn't even good either. Will not be coming back. That was such a scary experience.

    Red Curry, Pad See-Ew, Pad Thai
    Eric F.

    3.5 on taste alone but bumped up to 4 because I appreciate the convenience and decent priced availability T's Thai offers. As alluded to above, I didn't think the food was rave worthy (not to say that it was bad though). I ordered my usuals - pad Thai, pad see ew, and (red) curry. All tasted pretty good and better to have in the area than not in my opinion. I only did takeout, so cannot speak for the service or the ambiance.

    Food is very delicious! I loved my pad Thai !! We'll definitely be back !! Thank you to my door dash driver Abel for being so fast !! Food was very hot

    Yellow curry, very watery and flavorless.
    Raina W.

    Curry is very watered down. Spoke to restaurant about the poor quality and if they'd remake it. They said they'll just make it the same way, then hung up. This is our second time ordering from here and the first time was better, this second order is nothing close to curry. DoorDash refunded order but we really just wanted some better curry. Pictures are of red and yellow curry....Chicken satay and pad Thai were good.

    The food was decent, but the service could have been friendlier. The woman who served us was very serious. The place is small but clean.

    TS Thai is a small little eatery in Santa Monica. Parking is on the street or in the huge lot right across the street. It is easy to miss so look for the red curtain. Inside is nothing special, but it is very clean and the service is so great, you are happy you walked in. This is a family run business that really got hit by Covid, so they can use more walk ins. It looks like they have a ton of delivery, but we were seated right away at a very nice clean table and waited on like Kings since there was not that many people actually inside. The owner is just wonderful and the food is outstanding. Try their garlic noodles and Pad Thai. Both are great. We also had a wonderful fried rice with chicken and beef and it was so good. They give you a lot of food, and we were able to take some home. The bathrooms are spotless. The prices are really fair. We love it. Give them a try.

    They have varieties of lunch special. We ordered cashew nut pork and pad see wee lunch specials. They come with a side of salad and soup. They are so reasonable, filling and very tasty. Friendly service. We would definitely go back there to try other dishes for sure.

    Tomyum soup, Spicy Beef Salad, Spicy Thai Noodles
    Emily N.

    Got to go food, the tomyum soup was sour and reminded me of mama noodles! Would be good with rice or noodles added. The spicy Thai noodles were soft and a good consistency and the spicy beef salad had tender cuts of beef , both were a good level of spice for a person who likes spice

    Beef salad
    Thomas K.

    Unfortunately, I have to report this isn't the place for Thai food. It's run by a sweet elderly couple. I do think they are Thai, but I can confidently say they do not cook Thai food. I feel Annie Chun's would be more satisfying. The spicy red curry was watery (and not spicy). The beef in the spicy beef salad, was better. I did think their beef portion was the right amount, could have had a better sear. Would have liked a few more pieces of lettuce. My main issue was the dressing was just fish sauce, lacked palm sugar. It was also not spicy. I agreed with their white rice. My most agreeable friend who usually doesn't complain about any restaurant said the food was 'ok.' We parked in structure 9, which is close to this restaurant. 90 minutes free. Santa Monica is a wonderful place to visit while in LA.

    Very good seafood but not amazing on every dish. The ones that really shined were the fried fish,…read morechowder, and fresh oysters. The New England clam chowder was phenomenal. Very rich and indulgent broth. Fatty and creamy. That's what you want. Descent amount of clams too. The fried fish was best I have had in LA. Thick batter, juicy fish inside, and audible CRUNCH when you bit in. Superbly done. The lobster roll and crab salad lacked flavor and felt previously frozen. I would not repeat those. If that was fresh lobster and crab they need to talk to their fish supplier. Both had no taste. Not "bad" or "fishy," but that much lobster claw and knuckle meat should taste sweet. Even rich. The crab was the same way. Deff claw and not lump. Nice environment and kind waitress. Lots of old people. Nothing wrong with that. Went for lunch. Made me miss my grandparents lol lots of shouting without anger AKA bad hearing aids. Oyster sampler was half really good - and half "meh." I would go for oysters and fried fish again if in area, but I would take the time to talk to the oyster shucker and describe my preferences. All in all a good place!

We ordered the oysters, clam chowder, mussels and the miso cod. Everything was cooked perfectly (minus the raw oysters, ofc) and so delicious. You could really tell that everything was very fresh. My only complaints are that I felt like the oyster garnishing (if that's what they're called) could've been slightly better. Nothing stood out to me and that's what I personally look forward to when I have oysters. The meal also took a very long time. I think it may have been due to the fact that it was a Sunday and we came between the lunch and dinner rush? Service was very friendly and kept apologizing about the delay. I will definitely come back because the food was really good, maybe during an actual lunch/dinner hour.

Parking: They have an adjacent paid parking lot though metered street parking is cheaper since they unfortunately don't validate. Ambiance: Really gorgeous inside, with high arced wooden beam ceilings, natural light through skylights, romantic dim lighting, candles, lots of potted trees for greenery, and velvet seating to add elegance. Even the plates are worth admiring. They have a nice patio with heat lamps for cooler evenings as well. I absolutely love the vibes for date night. I have eaten here four times now and have a reservation ready for my fifth. The menu changes EVERY WEEK and the fact that the ingredients are so seasonal, and the chef really seems to takes pride and passion in creating different dishes so often, keeps me coming back each time. They have done specials from Sunday Night $35 7-course omakase to 50% off Neighborhood Patio nights to $65 for two 4-course date nights and the quality is so worth it. I even came by for an art class hosted on the patio since they hold multiple community events, including sports watch parties. The best yellowtail I've had (including eating in Japan and various sushi spots in LA, OC, SF, and NY) was surprisingly here, at a place I was honestly hesitant to even order sushi from. It's the first time I actually really could taste the flavor as it's more subtle than tuna, salmon, or albacore but they somehow made it incredibly memorable from the freshness. Definitely order the hamachi with pomegranate. I loved the flavor with the ponzu and that it wasn't just the basic jalapeño combo. There was a Singaporean crab garlic butter noodle dish they made once that was incredible though sadly seemed to be on the menu that time only. This was my absolute favorite entree they've offered so far. The gem lettuces Caesar salad is amazing although unfortunately, both times I've ordered it without cheese, they forgot. The boquerones (anchovies) are a gem (ha) that really adds to the salad and I love the texture from the herb crust. Their signature shrimp toast has a good crunch from the sesame seeds and distinct pieces of shrimp rather than mush inside and the ikura on top adds another good layer of flavor. The vegetable curry was rich, flavorful, and savory witbout being too heavy with perfectly cooked potatoes that didn't just hide in the sauce in a way that actually didn't make me miss the meat. The short rib curry had such tender meat and the roti made in house was actually a major highlight for me as it was so flaky, hot, crispy and had an amazing garlic flavor. The chocolate pot de creme had a good orange zest flavor to add to the chocolate and wasn't too rich or heavy though the texture was thicker. The calamari had super crispy batter so didn't associate it as much with a lighter tempura one but the lemons in it and the roasted garlic marinara sauce it came with were so good and added a lot of depth. The butter curry prawns has SUCH well cooked shrimp - flavor was amazing. Miso salmon was good though crispy skin side up would have been better personally. I liked the olive oil flavor in the vinaigrette and the lemon with veggies on the side as well. The tres leches was surprisingly light for a cake and very moist so I enjoyed a lot and the caramel ice cream wasn't overly sweet. The lychee vodka drink is my favorite (came with a drink pairing they offered with Sunday omakase) and the imperial gold yuzu cocktail is better for those who like a stronger drink. The grilled asparagus was cooked to a tenderness with great flavor from the crispy onions on top that have somehow made it among my top favorite dishes here, despite it just being a small side vegetable dish but I didn't like asparagus until this! I would definitely recommend coming here for dinner over brunch personally, as those have been my most memorable bites. Definitely order the yellowtail sashimi, shrimp toast, gem lettuces Caesar salad! Hoping the garlic butter crab noodles, grilled asparagus with crispy onions, and housemade roti reappear on the dinner menu!
