Very Thai - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great Thai food! We loved the Pad Thai and a perfect pork dish. The service was very good too:)

I highly recommend this place, if you are down for some tasty Thai food. Their ambience is great for date night. Service was superb. Located right in Century City Mall. Perfect place to go after shopping. I will definitely go back soon. read more

Awesome elevated thai! Beautiful restaurant with amazing service and great food! Kirby took great care of us and made sure our experience was amazing! The stir fried wagyu and the eggplant are must orders! Can't wait to come back and try the banana leaf fish! read more

My new favorite restaurant at the Century City mall! My boyfriend and I came on a whim without a reservation after catching a moving on a Sunday night. They were able to seat us right away. The vibe inside is very cool, not too loud or bright. Everything about the experience was great! Our waitress, Grace, was super friendly and offered excellent recommendations of her favorite dishes. We ended up trying the green curry, the pork jowl and the papaya salad. Truly hard to pick a favorite. We left and were already planning out what we wanted to try on our next visit. Can't wait to come back! read more

The family and I came for lunch carefully optimistic that a Taiwanese establishment would do Thai cuisine justice...and it so did! Very Thai shrimp mooncake Super seeds shrimp toast Green curry chicken Grilled pork jowl with lime sauce Coffee ribs Grilled cod in banana leaf Thai-style soft shell crab Basil eggplant Master chef pad thai Pineapple fried rice with shrimp Every single dish ranged from 'great' to 'outstanding' and highlights for me included the green curry's deep spice-loaded flavors, tender pork jowl, and toothsome ribs with its fantastic coffee glaze. We also thoroughly enjoyed the eggplant's soft texture and lack of greasiness often encountered in Chinese preparations. Lastly, the pad thai's delightful chew and robust flavors elevated it above nearly every other iteration we've tried in years. Among drinks, the mezcal-based Birdsong was potently refreshing while my wife's Very Thai milk tea was solid and less sweet than most Thai teas. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal and we appreciated the staff's promptness in clearing plates and keeping things today especially with all of our children with us. Together with the modern and spacious dining room, Very Thai absolutely exceeded expectations and we'll definitely be back! read more

I kept hearing rumblings about this restaurant and so I definitely had to make it a point to stop by and try it out. When you into the restaurant, you're automatically greeted by a friendly host. They took our name and number down, and we were automatically seated at our table. The ambience of the restaurant is beautiful. It's a deep red color with gold accent throughout. Greenery from the trees that are scattered about the restaurant and they have a beautifully featured bar. I got the mango tango tequila cocktail and it was very sweet and very delicious. My husband got the Thai iced tea and it was sweet, but it could've been a little sweeter. We ordered the yellow curry and the MasterChef pad Thai, which includes shrimp, pork and tofu. The dishes came out immediately. You do not have to wait at this restaurant for your food to come out because they are on it immediately in the kitchen where you can see the cooks and chef cooking rigorously in their woks. The grilled chicken curry, which is a yellow curry, tasted like a traditional yellow curry. The chicken thigh meat that was in the curry was super tender, super flavorful, and the curry had a nice kick to it. The pad Thai was delightful, fragrant, and kept you wanting to eat more and more. I highly recommend coming here whether you're at the mall doing some shopping, brunch with the girls or if you wanna do a date night. read more

Had to support Taiwan and pay a visit to Very Thai. The flavors are there and the Shrimp Toast was an interesting take on Fried Shrimp Paste. I thought the toast added an interesting texture. The Plum Sauce complemented the dish. The Pad Thai was solid but I did not care for the Tofu at all. It definitely needed condiments to jazz it up. I thought the quality was there and there is a premium ambiance and price for this Thai Establishment. Service was impeccable and really enjoyed the recommendations. The Lemon Grass Sauce is a must! read more

I've heard about this supposedly highly popular Thai restaurant from Taiwan (this will further confuse some people regarding Taiwan vs Thailand. LOL). I decided to check it out since I was at Westfield Century City. The ambiance here is modern with moderate level of music playing in the background. The menu prices are slightly higher than a typical Thai restaurant; but, that's to be expected given the location. The portions were also on the smaller side. We tried one of the signature dishes, Coffee Ribs. The pork ribs were falling off the bone tender. The flavor was also interesting. Sweet and sour with a noticeable among of coffee flavor. The shrimp moon cake sounded more interesting than it actually was. It was basically shrimp toast; but sandwiched between 2 sheets of crispy egg roll wrappers instead of toast. The shrimps in the shrimp clay pot with vermicelli were fresh and cooked just right; but, the vermicelli was so salty I cringed with my first bite. The shrimps also felt completely separate from the vermicelli. The shrimps were not cooked in the sauce at all and vermicelli had no hint of the shrimp flavor. The green curry with chicken was flavorful albeit not what I was expecting. The coconut and basil flavors is usually what differentiate green curry from yellow or red curry; in this dish they were a bit lacking. The mala numbness was also a part of the spiciness; a little unusual for this dish. This may be an option if you are tired of Ding Tai Fung. read more

Very Thai is a new Thai chain restaurant from Taiwan (yes you heard that right - Taiwan not Thailand). The restaurant recently opened in March 2026 and is located on the 2nd floor (across from Zinqué and diagonally across from Chagee) of Westfield Century City. This is the first U.S. location for Very Thai and it is also one of the few Thai restaurants in Southern California that offers a full bar experience. [Parking]: The Westfield Century City parking garage is the only option. The first hour is free. From 1 hour to 1.25 hour = $4, from 1.25 hour to 5 hours = $1 for each additional 15 minutes. [Atmosphere]: Excellent ambiance and a great place for date night. This is one of those places that asks diners what type of water they want. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Papaya Salad, Master Chef Pad Thai, and Shrimp Mooncake. Items marked with a star on the menu = chef-recommended dishes. Extra $3 per bowl for Jasmine Rice and $4 for a piece of roti. Most items on the menu are meant to be shared. They also offer 100% plant-based ice cream from AWAN for $8 or $9 and sparkling oolong tea (regular or sugar-free) for $13. *** Master Chef Pad Thai (Pad Thai stir-fried with shrimp, pork, tofu in house sauce - $25): The Pad Thai actually arrived before our appetizer. It was slightly spicy but still within a tolerable level. Good flavor profile, but you can find Pad Thai taste just as good as this version but much less expensive Green Curry Wings (chicken wings, fried with eggplant, green curry and basil. 5 pieces. $18): An interesting dish. This appetizer had a high eggplant-to-wing ratio. I thought it tasted alright as it had too many flakes. *** 3.5-star on food quality, but knock down to 3-star due to the hefty price tag. P.S. - At the end of the meal, the check came with a free postcard with a picture of a giant pineapple for customers to take home. read more

Ambiance and service first, both were great. You never know what to expect with restaurants (albeit highly rated) located in shopping malls, and Very Thai did not disappoint. Excellent vibes, efficient and friendly service. Now, what we ordered and in NO particular order: 1. Shrimp mooncake with plum sauce 2. Eggplant with herbs 3. Grilled pork jowl (WOW, clear winner) 4. Master Chef Pad Thai. Now, let's start with the winner, the grilled pork jowl. I mean, I wasn't quite clear what a jowl was but I now know I LOVE it! Paired with a grilled pineapple that went untouched simply because it wasn't even missed - the onions and the pork jowl are a bite in a heaven. The bold but familiar flavor of the pork jowl truly left my jaw dropped. The eggplant was probably our number 2. Pro tip: Definitely pair this richly flavored dish with a bowl of rice to get the perfect balance. I NEED to talk about the Master Chef Pad Thai. First, I was hesitant because I've seen some low reviews hating on this particular dish. On this day we went, we loved it. 4, juice shrimp accompany the perfectly cooked noodles. There's a bit of a smoky flavor that comes from the Taiwanese sausage and this was such a welcoming surprise in my mouth. Overall, is it pricier than some local alternatives - yes, but it's also conveniently located steps away from premier shops so it's a win win! read more

The decor is nice and my waiter was pleasant but the food was average and overpriced. Really no veggie options so basically just meat and carbs over a bed of onions. Good portions for two people but not three. read more

Very Thai - pork something - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Really solid Thai food on the Westside albeit pricey but you'd expect that at the Century City Mall. Went when it had just opened for about a week so it was pretty packed and we waited quite a bit for a table (over an hour). Some confusion as we didn't actually get called back for it, we checked back with the hostess and almost left but they were able to seat us. The servers and staff are super nice and friendly. The waiter recommended that we order 4 dishes for 2 people but honestly with the portion sizes we could have even done 2-3. We ordered the master pad thai, papaya salad, eggplant and coffee ribs. The pad thai and papaya salad were the big winners, super flavorful and really tasty. I always know Thai cuisine is solid by their pad thai and this one is really great. Papaya salad also can pack a kick so make sure you go for a low spice level if you can't handle the heat. The coffee ribs are definitely the odd menu item which I wouldn't order again. I'd expect these to taste more like a mole but it was oddly sweet like a dessert. And the coconut shavings on it made it also a bit sweeter as well. Also, a bit pricey for Thai food - at $75 a person for 4 dishes shared is quite a lot. read more

We just came when it out. The food was pretty good and not too spicy. Even though it's a Thai restaurant it's a Thai restaurant chain from Taiwan so there was even more Chinese influence. The ribs were delicious and the green curry we got was good. There wasn't a slight wait when we went and this was during its initial opening. Service was alright we had to flag our waiter a few times for either water or if we wanted to add a few items. But worth checking out a time. The decor is nice and could make for a good date night, it was mostly group of friends or families when I went though read more

My husband and I were monitoring this restaurant and was able to get reservations when they finally opened their doors. First, the space is beautiful. They did a great job with decor. They have a really nice bar area too for those that want to snack and grab a drink. Staff was pleasant and tried their best to give us what we asked for. But would we return? Probably not. We understand it is "family style" but the portions are absolutely not family style portions. It's very small and very pricey. It's more accurate to say it's like tapas. You order a bunch of dishes and share it and maybe you will be full. The flavors were fine, the only outstanding dish was the shrimp mooncake. Everything else was just okay. I've definitely had better at more traditional Thai restaurants. I ordered Thai spicy, but it was very mild. The pacing was also just bizarre. They come out as it's ready, but the gaps were too large at times. I figure it was freshly opened so I can't fault them for that. But the veggies we ordered, we had no idea if they were forgotten or on their way out, but since we finished our entrees, there was no point in keeping that order so we canceled it. The part that was strange to me was when we asked for prik nam som or prik nam pla or chili sauce, they were confused as to what I was asking for. I got a squeeze bottle that had a lime sauce in it with a Thai chili pepper inside. These sauce carousels are a staple in Thai restaurants. How do you not have them? So when I later read that they are a Taiwan based restaurant, I realized it's not authentic Thai, hence the confusion I guess. So if you're looking more for ambiance, this is probably for you. read more

3.8 stars. While the dishes are flavorful the portion sizes are small. Think Bacari Tapas but even some dishes are smaller. My favorite was the pork jowl and Fried Rice. Vermicelli clay pot was flavorful too but on the more savory side. read more

Very Thai - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here for dinner here at Very Thai in the Century City Mall. From what the team is telling me they've been open for about 2 weeks now. The place is really packed and popular. I was a walk-in and I sat at the bar. There's so many different things that looked amazing and couldn't really decided what to get. I ended up deciding on getting the pork jowl and the pad Thai. Everyone was really friendly and nice. The food tasted amazing. The dishes come out when they're ready so and it's great to be able to order a couple of dishes and eat along the way. The kind of came across a snafu where one of my dishes came out kind of slow but the team was very helpful and accommodating. The restaurant is fairly big. Lots of tables everywhere and it's a cool chill vibe here in the mall. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in town. There's still so many different things I want to try next time. read more

Waited a long time for this place to finally open, and was not disappointed! This restaurant has such great vibes! We ordered the papaya mango salad, green curry wings, Wagyu rice bowl, and the most expensive Thai tea I've ever had ($10). The papaya salad was flavorful- level 1 was pretty spicy, and the mangos were a little crunchy for my liking. The curry wings had good flavor and a nice texture to them, and came with crispy eggplant! The Wagyu bowl was so tasty and also had a lot of flavor, but pretty small for the price- $35. The Thai tea was good, but $10 is pretty expensive! Overall, loved all the dishes and can't wait to come back to try more. Good place for a group dinner! read more

Very Thai, originally from Taiwan, has finally arrived in LA and I was so excited to try it! We made a reservation during their second week, and it was already pretty packed. Luckily, we went slightly outside peak lunch hours, so it wasn't too crowded and the experience felt more relaxed. We ordered several of our go-to favorites from Taiwan, and they did an excellent job. The flavors were spot on and very consistent with what we remember. The service was also great, attentive and friendly throughout. The restaurant itself is spacious with a nice, modern interior perfect for groups or casual dining. Must-orders: Moon shrimp cake (a classic, don't skip!) Massaman beef curry super tender and full of flavor The only downside is that the portions felt a bit small for the price. Other than that, overall a really solid experience and definitely worth trying. I can see myself coming back often! read more

Since this is the first time we went to Very Thai, we were excited. The reservation filled up fast even though we booked the week before. I had 2pm for reservation now. I would say the service is very slow and came out one at a time. Two of our dishes were forgotten and we had to remind them several times. However, the staff comped one dish so that's why I gave 4 stars. Otherwise, 3 stars. Food was good but small portion though for that price, they were way too expensive. Very Thai Shrimp Mooncake $24 Crispy crepe with fresh shrimp, served with house plum satce. 8 pieces. I enjoy this crunchy shrimp. I think I could make this at home myself with shrimp paste and rice paper. 3/5 Grilled Pork Jowl with Lime Sauce $36 Pork jowl, tender and crisp, served with lime sauce. For one tiny piece, this is so expensive. But it was delicious, juicy and tender. 2/5 No Wagyu with Basil ( Chopped ) $36 Snake River Farms Wagyu served with organic egg over rice. Again, another overpricedly small portion. The wagyu was little too. It was spicy and flavorful but I'm speechless about the portion. 4/5 Green Papaya Mango Salad $22. You can't go wrong with papaya salad. It was the same as other places. 5/5 Crispy Pad Thai $24 Crispy Pad Thai stir-fried with chicken, shrimp, tofu, and special sauce. It comes with 3 tiny shrimps. But also, the crispy noodles look like those tortilla chips. I do not recommend. 0/5 Overall this will be the only time I visit this place. read more

Let's start this review with the fact that I'm thai and I'm very picky with thai food. That being said, I'm so happy that I finally found my favorite thai spot on the westside!! I'd say this place is a bit fushiony because it's a Taiwanese and thai place but overall delicious! Loved everything from the ambience, the food, the service!!! Everything was top notched for a busy Friday night! For starters we loved the shrimp moon cake which was pan fried and served with plum sauce. The papaya salad was very authentic and spicyyyyyy. For main the Wagyu basil on rice and the pork jowl were sooooo delicious! The dipping sauce for the pork was perfect. The staffs were super attentive and kept checking to see if everything was good. Loved the hospitality and the service here. They also provide a postcard that you can mail out or write a note to the table after us which I thought was such a cute concept to promote the menu here!!! 10/10 read more

WOW! Amazing food, ambiance and service at the newly opened Very Thai, easily the best elevated modern Thai cuisine we've ever had in LA. When the famed Thai restaurant from Taiwan (瓦城) debuted its first US location in LA, we braved the traffic from OC to LA to check out the new restaurant. Ambiance: 10/10 Nestled in Century City Westfield, the restaurant is spacious yet welcoming and beautifully decorated with a trendy vibe - bold red walls, tall ceiling with warmly-lit woven lanterns, open windows, and full bar. Food: 10/10 The menu offered innovative dishes both traditional and reinvented. Our favorites were: SRF waygu with basil served with runny egg and rice - so good and packed with flavor Grilled waygu short ribs was seasoned to perfection and just melted in your mouth, even better paired with those magical sauces Chicken green curry with eggplant and basil poured over rice hit the spot Broccolini with garlic wok-fried just right Thai herb shrimp fried rice was so yummy that we had to order an extra to take home Grilled cod in banana leaf was full of flavor and tender Shrimp clay pot with glass noodles was scrumptious and savory Papaya salad had quite the kick at spicy level 2, so we needed Thai iced milk tea, Thai Jasmine green tea, and Healthy Potion mocktail to put out the fire Shrimp mooncakes was a signature appetizer that reminded us of the restaurant in Taiwan and it was as good as we remembered Tom Yum soup was yummy, sweet and spicy In lieu of dessert, we had Coffee ribs glazed with coffee sauce with meat that just fell off the bone Okay, we ordered a feast. We loved everything and will be back to try the rest of the menu eg pork jowl and pad thai. Service: 10/10 Service was attentive and friendly. Our server Ryan was cheerful and thoughtful, changing our plates for clean ones even without us asking. Kate, the restaurant manager, checked up on us to make sure that everything was up to her gold standard. This restaurant opening was a labor of love for at least 3 years, and the effort and care are evident in every detail. Congratulations, Very Thai! Welcome to the US, please open another restaurant in the OC! read more

As a very Taiwanese person, I was so excited that this famed Thai spot from Taiwan was opening up in Westfield Century City! I was able to get a reservation on Open Table a few days before their grand opening and stop by the second night they were open. Service was so nice and accommodating the entire evening, and we really appreciated how we were able to interact with the entire team during our dinner! This spot is 100% worth the hype- serving up much more authentic Thai food than a lot of spots in West LA, with a subtle touch of Taiwanese cooking styles and flavors. My favorites were the insanely tender pork jowl (insane considering I don't usually like pork), papaya salad (which my friend from Thailand found very authentic), shrimp mooncakes, and wagyu with basil pad kra pow. Their menu also features quite a few cocktails and Thai tea-based drinks, and ice cream dessert from local vegan creamery Awan. Overall, a beautiful and very welcomed addition of authentic Thai food to West LA, and I can't wait to be back to try more of the menu! read more

The Food: Familiar Flavors, American Twist The kitchen manages to maintain the "gold standard" consistency that 瓦城 is known for in Asia. The flavors are bold, balanced, and remarkably clean. The Standout: The Fried Eggplant is, by far, the star of the show. It's perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining buttery and soft inside, tossed in a savory glaze that justifies the trip alone. The "Twist": You'll notice a bit more play with textures and perhaps slightly more generous portions of premium proteins compared to the original chain, catering well to the LA palate. Don't Forget: Their signature shrimp cakes (mooncakes) remain a mandatory order--they are just as "Q" (bouncy) as you remember. Ambiance & Service The 5,000-square-foot space is stunning. It's sleek, modern, and light-years away from your average strip-mall Thai spot. With a full bar and a vibe that feels "Century City chic," it's perfect for a date night or a business lunch. The service is equally polished--attentive without being intrusive, ensuring the "extended version" feel extends to the hospitality. The Catch: The Value This is where you need to be careful. While the food is 5/5, the Value (3/5) is the sticking point. Between the premium mall location and the "flagship" branding, the bill adds up fast. You are paying for the atmosphere and the brand name as much as the curry. Pro Tip: Go with a group. Since the dishes are designed for sharing, you can try more of the menu (especially that eggplant!) without the per-person cost feeling quite as steep. Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Service 5/5 Value 3.5/5 Overall 4.5/5 read more

I came here on a weekday for lunch so this is more from a lunch perspective. It was only the second day of their soft opening but the service was impeccable. The staff were all very attentive and helpful. The restaurant was fairly empty but I like how it was decorated and they had large windows that let in natural light which I appreciated. For food, we ordered the Very Thai Shrimp Mooncake, the Spicy Basil Pork, the Green Papaya Mango Salad and the Master Chef Pad Thai. The portions were an okay size. I highly recommend the Very Thai Shrimp Mooncake. Friends who had eaten at this restaurant in Taiwan had mentioned this was a favorite and I can see why. You get all the shrimp flavor with a nice crispy texture. The Green Papaya Mango Salad was refreshing and I'm not a papaya lover so I was surprised I liked it. Two chili peppers was just enough heat. The Spicy Basil Pork was also good but I think the flavors were all starting to blend together. We may have ordered too many dishes in the same flavor profile. The Master Chef Pad Thai was okay. They kind of put chili flakes to the side and we hadn't mixed it in so when I had my first bite I got to much chili and it kind of overwhelmed the flavor of the dish. If I were to go back, I would need to reconsider what dishes to order because the papaya salad, the spicy basil pork and the pad thai all kind of tasted the same towards the end with similar flavors. Also, I would definitely consider this more of a dinner place or weekend lunch/dinner choice. For a lunch break on the weekday, this is priced higher than I would normally consider especially since a lot of Thai restaurants in the area have lunch specials on weekdays. read more

10/10 the overall experience was spectacular. We made a reservation for a girls dinner and we came in hungry. We ordered a lot of items on the menu and every bite was really good! My favorite was papaya salad, soft shell crab and the pad thai. Our server, Dom was great! He made sure we got all our orders. There was an instance where I ordered more Roti and it took a while with miscommunication with the kitchen. But Dom made sure to fix it. I would come back for the food and good service. read more

Also, if you're looking for a light refreshing drink, I recommend you get the oolong sparkling tea. It is $13 for a massive bottle, and super worth the price! read more

Very Thai - Pad Thai, green curry - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Very Thai occupies a beautiful space and serves elevated, not-quite-traditional Thai food that transcends its mall setting. We ordered four dishes. The mooncake was delicious, with a thin crispy wrapper over minced shrimp and a sweet dipping sauce. The Grilled Chicken Curry featured a complex yellow curry stewed with big, tender pieces of potato and chicken thighs. The cod dish was a showstopper, with a thick layer of chopped herbs and greens over flaky white fish, steamed in a banana leaf. The flavor was a bit bitter; the kitchen did not go for a boring, easy interpretation, but used a plethora of herbs and spices to layer flavors, with a "fine dining" feel. The green beans with garlic were very good; a mild, standard version but well done. All in all, the food exceeded expectations, prepared with care and thoughtfulness. Service was very attentive; Ansley, our waitress, patiently answered multiple questions about the menu with a sweet, kind demeanor and refilled our water glasses at every turn, contributing to a very pleasant experience. We plan to return. read more

The newest restaurant in Century City Mall and we have been waiting for it to open, but after the first visit, it is just a OK. We had the muse have Moon Pancake- it was yummy but not impressive. classic papaya salad mild- refreshing and it came with two additional sauces on the side ( one is sour and one is hot) although we ordered mild, it did get spicier as the salad soaked in the dressing. Softshell crab $29- two tiny dry softshells lying on top of purple onions. Master Chef Pad Thai- It was not as sweet as the other Thai restaurant's pad thai, and we liked this entree a lot. Neon Thai cocktail- thai tea with rum. a ok- Although the server explained they offer family-style dining, the entree sizes are fairly small and not meant for sharing. Service was very minimal. Overall, it is just a OK! I would rather support local mom and pop Thai for the price tag. read more

Table for two ( 1Adult, 1 Child) on April 8th If you visit, the Shrimp Mooncake is an absolute must-order. It's a unique Taiwanese-style take on Thai cuisine, and it was a massive hit--even with my daughter, who usually isn't a fan of Thai food. It's rare to find a dish that wins her over so easily, but this was genuinely delicious. The Food Green Papaya Salad: We ordered the non-spicy version for the child. While mild on its own, the extra sauce provided by the waiter was the "finishing touch" that brought the whole dish to life. Wagyu with Basil: I requested a lower sodium version, though the waiter explained that since the kitchen follows a strict SOP (Standard Operating Procedure), it's difficult to alter the pre-prepared sauces. Despite his kind efforts to leave a note for the chef, the dish still tasted a bit too salty for my palate. Hahah! Thai Hub Shrimp Fried Rice: A solid, dependable dish. While it didn't stand out as "special" to me personally, my daughter loved it--it was definitely her favorite. Thai Tea: Very sweet! Since I don't have much of a sweet tooth, I had to wait for the ice to melt a bit to balance out the sugar. Atmosphere & Vibe The restaurant's aesthetic is energetic and fashionable, dominated by a bold red color palette. Even the restroom lighting has a cool, "nightclub-like" feel that makes for a great photo op. Final Verdict The only real drawback is the price point, which feels a little high. However, would I return? Yes. Beyond the food, eating here feels like a form of nostalgia, and that experience is worth coming back for. read more

Nice to try this new eatery at the Westfield mall in century city. The food is good but I feel I've had better Thai food at other places. But this place is convenient and will hit the spot if you're craving Thai food after a movie at the mall or while shopping. The service is friendly. I did like the Pad Thai here though and I usually don't care for pad Thai but this was delicious. We got sat in the corner so didn't really feel the vibe of the restaurant read more

If you love spicy food, this is the place to be! You'll find all the great Thai flavors and heat here, but there's a twist: the dishes are all prepared and presented in amazingly different and creative ways. First of all, love the bright, airy layout with bold red walls, tempered with natural wood furniture. Even the restrooms have strong red lighting (maybe a bit too strong for me). The greeting at the host podium was warm and genuine, and we were seated immediately. Since we came during their soft opening, I gathered there would be large crowds, so I made a reservation for lunch on Open Table. Always good to make a rez as a general rule these days. Our server, Rhea, was great and knowledgeable when recommending dishes. We got the Green Curry Wings, great curry flavor and fun to dig around the basket of breadcrumbs(?). Then we got the Master Chef Pad Thai, Snake River Farms Wagyu with Basil (came with a fried egg on top with a deliciously runny yolk), and the Coffee Ribs (wow, melty with chocolatey notes!). I also ordered the Jasmine Green Milk Tea and it was like an iced matcha, wonderful! Almost everything on their menu is spicy. And it's not just the tingle you feel in your mouth. This heat stays with you a while. So, if you have a sensitive gut, go across the way to Cinnabon and get a tiny pack of Horizon milk and drink it all before eating. Saved my partner (who's not used to South East Asian-level spice) a whole lot of discomfort. In all, we loved our first visit! Looking forward to returning for dinner. Esp. after we learned that they have even more amazing dishes that are available for dinner only. Grilled banana-leaf-wrapped cod! I'm drooling just thinking about it! Happy opening, Very Thai! read more

I was finally excited that they opened and decided to try it. It's located on the second floor in front of Chagee and the Container Store. We came on a Monday around 5 PM, and they were fully booked for the day, but there was seating available at the bar, so we went with that. First impression, the interior is beautiful, and the space feels really nice and modern. We ordered the Thai tea, Master Pad Thai, green beans, and pork jowl. The Thai tea was very sweet in our opinion, but not bad. The green beans were on the saltier, garlicky side, which I personally liked, but my partner thought it was a bit too salty. However, they were cooked really well. Still crunchy and not overcooked. The pork jowl was my favorite dish of everything we ordered. It had a really good flavor and paired well with the lime sauce it came with. The Pad Thai also had a really nice flavor and was enjoyable. I do think the restaurant is a bit pricey, and while the portion sizes are fine, you can probably get more food for the same price elsewhere. Overall, it's still a nice place to try, especially for the atmosphere and to try their dishes! read more

Beautiful and inviting decor, and our server was friendly and attentive, but unfortunately the food was a letdown overall. The shrimp moon cake was very good, and the wagyu beef with basil was great. The tom yum was decent, and the yellow curry with chicken was just ok. However, several dishes were overly sweet,the papaya salad and the Master Chef pad Thai were both much sweeter than expected. The biggest disappointment was the grilled pork jowl, which was essentially inedible due to how extremely fatty it was. One confusing moment during service: we were initially told the tom yum was sold out for the day, but later informed that only the large size was available. If the ingredients were available, it's unclear why a small portion couldn't be made, especially since the small option is listed on the menu. Overall, most dishes leaned overly sweet and felt far from authentic Thai flavors, which made the meal quite disappointing. The decor is beautiful and welcoming, but unfortunately the food didn't live up to it. read more

I ordered the Master Chef pad thai, Thai herb shrimp fried rice, and the thai milk tea. I wasn't a big fan of the pork in the pad thai but the fried rice was good and had a lot of shrimp in it. The thai milk tea was $10 I don't think the portion of everything was worth the prices. The service was good. The hostess and waistress was very accommodating to requests for seating changes. There were lots of flies which was kind of annoying. The bathrooms were really clean though. read more
