    Spicy eggplant with chicken. Colorful staple dish that stimulates the tastebuds.
    Karl F.

    There aren't many Thai restaurants in Torrance, California but Ubon Thai Kitchen is a great choice when you've got that craving for Thai food. The restaurant is quite small and you may have a tiny wait. The service is impeccable! All the staff are very friendly and they are hustling to serve you quickly. I'm panang obsessed, so that's always gonna be ordered. Panang curry is creamy and perfectly spiced. I couldn't stop scooping rice so I could ladle more of the delicious curry onto it. The pad Thai (with pork or other protein) was silky smooth. The portion is generous and the noodles are slightly moister than most restaurants. Very tasty. Lastly spicy eggplant with chicken (or other protein) is made with black bean sauce complemented with basil, peppers, and onions. This would make a delicious and nutritious weekday meal. The atmosphere is pleasant and the service is amazing.

    I've tried many Thai spots, and Ubon Thai in Torrance is the one I remember least. The food is okay, but nothing really stood out.

    Surprising hidden gem with distinctive Thai food! I haven't had Thai food similar to this spot. Nice location, super convenient to eat here whenever we go to costco. I haven't had the best luck with Thai food in Torrance so this is my favorite spot in the city now! It is pretty poppin for a hole in the wall. But that's a testament to the good food, and they're always quick, kind and helpful. I would say the standout menu item at this store are the noodle soups. They are so homey - hard to describe, but I feel so good after eating them. 1. Boat noodle soup: 5/5 2. Pad Thai: 5/5 super fresh and flavorful. 3. Ubon noodle soup: 5/5 4. Panang curry: 3/5 the first few bites were good but I got sick of the flavor soon after. To be fair, I don't think I like curry in general as much as I used to.

    I've easily become addicted to this little gem! It's the best flavored Thai food I've had so far. The front staff is always incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everything is just right. The lively sounds coming from the kitchen adds to the charm and energy of the place. I can't recommend it enough! P.S. get the blended Thai tea

    Food was great and came out quickly. A great hole in the wall that offers free pad thai if you check in on yelp.

    Hello, i'm allergic to shrimp/shellfish I was wondering if i would be ok to get a pad thai here (if not its ok)?

    Yes you can order. Our’s Padthai doesn’t contain any shrimp/shellfish, unless you order gluten free Padthai, so we will use fish sauce instead. Please tell us if you have any allergic to any kind of food. Thank you

When you dine in they bring metal cups with an icy cold carafe of cold water to your table. Customer service is efficient. The person behind the counter is very soft spoken and gives you a slight smile but gets your order correct every time. Hands down so don't argue with me they have the absolute BEST orange chicken. It has a slight crunch on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside. The orange sauce is perfection. It has a great balance of salty and sweet without being overly sweet like an orange candy. It's not tart and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. They put the right amount of sauce so it is not drenched. Pair it with the garlic rice and the salad that crops and fresh no dressing is even needed. Order this and you will be happy. The regular white rice is good too! The Zapp chicken is crunchy, juicy and spicy. I normally cannot eat spicy but this one is perfect. Since my 24 year old son told me about this restaurant I've been here four times in the past month. Simply delicious!!!

The sesame soy sauce was better. Neither was the ginger green onion that I would expect at other Hainan places. Garlic rice had nice flavor. 2. Fried gyoza: Fried well. Liked the filling. Good with or without the sweet dipping sauce. Overall, both items were good and would get again but I prefer the ginger scallion sauce.

I always order it when I go to Thai restaurants or places that have it. So I HAD to try theirs. My husband and I went last Wednesday night to order the mango sticky rice but they had sold out already. (The worker recommended I call them prior to going there to see if they still have some available) The worker was nice and friendly. The next day, I went with my kids because now I HAD to try it. This time, I called prior to see if they still had some on hand. When we arrived to the restaurant, the mango sticky rice was already stacked in containers ready to go - which is new to me. I've never seen that before. I ordered 2, we didn't order anything else. Idk if I had a bad batch or what but my kids & I thought it was ehh. It was .. okay I guess? But it wasn't the best we've had. Probably an unpopular opinion because all the reviews I see state it's the best they've had and i just didn't taste that. We didn't even finish it. The worker the second time I went wasn't the friendliest either. Parking is great since it's part of a big shopping center. There's tables & chairs outside as well where you can eat, which is where my kids & I ate. Tables are shaded so that's good.

When we arrived it was apparent the "chef@ was also the hostess. As a result we waited quite a while to be greeted and seated. I should note that the chef did arrive about thirty minutes later. I ordered the Waan Om Khom Kluean yellow chicken curry and my guest had the deeb Sao Thai Pad Thai with shrimp. I also ordered a Thai ice tea and the server forgot to bring it. I had to remind her after my meal was almost finished. To me the chicken curry had a terrible unappetizing presentation. It looked like shredded chicken and big lumps of potatoes. In fast that's what it was. While the taste was pretty good, the over abundance of potatoes felt like a filler for less chicken. It was a decent dish but far from one of my favorites. The Pad Thai looked a lot better. My guest said it was good, not great, and that he'd order it again. Now to the price. Nearly $70 including the two dishes, one Thai ice tea and rice. This was not fine dining. I realize they have bills to pay but it was much more than I've paid at other Thai restaurants for similar meals. All parking is on the street. One need a bit of courage to park on PCH as passing cars make it scary to open the driver's door. Cars were flying by in the 40's and 50's and it's a very unsafe parking location.
