Our server Sue was the best server in the world.She was really nice and the food was great

Excellent food and even better service! Kerby was our waitress, and she made the whole experience outstanding. She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and we never felt rushed. We'll definitely be back, and we'll be asking for Kerby again. Highly recommend! read more

Very Thai in many ways. Come for the cocktails, including Zero-Proof Stay for the stellar happy hour from 3PM - 5PM at the bar during the week, think Monday through Thursday - which features wine, beer, signature and well drinks. Don't forget to ask your bartender about their complimentary rotating snacks. It's chic, fun, modern and inviting. Very Thai has a Plant-forward menu available upon request fan of their Green Beans with Garlic, Veggie Pad Thai, and I'm sure more for my next trip in. Most of their dishes contain fish sauce, though the plant-based menu is basically a scaled down vegan and vegetarian inclusive menu without any of their classic house or signature sauces. They currently don't have any of these options listed on their website or available through third party delivery/pickup as well which is a bit odd considering how they super highlight the Sweet Finish/desserts which feature a mini plethora of plant-based ice cream and I've had all those delicious flavors now. How cool is it to have nothing but non-dairy goodness for all? It's coconut based in collaboration with AWAN. The Vanilla Coconut is 10/10 but don't sleep on the flavor of the week or their Gaviota Strawberry. Restrooms for guests. Reservations available but rarely required for lunch time, definitely recommended for weekends, holidays and evenings. Parking validation is available. read more

I been to many Thai Restaurants and this place is above standard. Although, I was little disappointed they don't have PAD SEE EW one of my fave, their PAD THAI fully made up for it. Highly recommend you get the PAD THAI AND the pineapple fried rice, but I actually really liked the COFFEE RIBS , Yes coffee ! The meat was fall off the bone, not a Thai dish classic I know, but so worth trying !!! Maybe I'm biased because I love COFFEE and drink it everyday, but it was saucey and really unique and delicious. Papaya salad and the green curry chicken was great too but I will say those have much smaller portions lol. Great service. Beautiful vibe, I think this place is like the levelled up Thai version of DING TAI FUNG imo. I like being able to see the kitchen working on the food.

Very Thai is an aesthetic restaurant with an eye catching red interior and beautiful lampshades adorning the space. For starters, I ordered the papaya salad with mango. The papaya salad was very refreshing. It was one of the best I've had. Next, I enjoyed the yellow curry grilled chicken. The chicken thigh was cooked to perfection and simmered in the curry. The roti was buttery, flaky, and a delicious accompaniment. Sam was a wonderful server. He made sure we had everything we needed and more. He was great with attention to detail and recommendations. read more

Had a great dinner here. Started with their signature shrimp mooncake, which is similar to shrimp toast except with a thinner crispy outer crepe - the accompanying plum sauce was the perfect sweetness. The Master Chef Pad Thai was delicious, with an interesting sweet flavor to the sauce. And we enjoyed the green beans as well - great garlic flavor, fresh and crunchy beans. Service was a standout feature - exceptionally friendly and attentive. The environment is spacious and welcoming. read more

Very Thai - Shrimp mooncake, Master Chef Pad Thai, Green beans - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

FOOD ABSOLUTELY DIVINE! my friend and i visited on a friday night and requested for seats at the full service bar so that we didn't need to wait an hour long for a table. between the 2 of us, we split 3 items family style. 01. COFFEE RIBS: marinated ribs glazed in a rich coffee sauce & caramelized ($28) 10/10!!! you smell it before you see it! the scent of coffee is strong enough for the diner sitting two seats away to smell it. the meat easily falls off the bone and the rich flavor of coffee is present in every, single bite. this is definitely best enjoyed right away, while it's hot! i would return for this dish alone again and again. 02. GREEN CURRY WINGS: 5 pc chicken wings, fried with eggplant, green curry, & basil ($18) 7.5/10! flavorful with the slightest kick~ crispy on the outside, tender & steaming hot on the inside! 03. CRISPY PAD THAI: stir-fried with shrimp, tofu, & special sauce ($24) 8.5/10! this dish was such a fun deconstruction and reinterpretation of pad thai! i enjoyed the added crispy texture and appreciated how the overall dish was not too greasy. AMBIANCE perfect for a girls' night or a date night! with an interior painted all red and furniture with soft curves, the space feels moody and elevated yet inviting. read more

This place is on the 2nd floor of Westfield Century City. For the most part, everything we ordered was delicious! I only have 2 negative comments... The Grilled Cod in Banana Leave was far too salty. That was the only complaint about the food. In regards to the menu, apparently they only have a few flavors of ice cream for dessert. We would have been all over a mango sticky rice! HIGHLY recommend the Massaman Beef Curry and the Crispy Pad Thai! read more

We had lunch across from Very Thai 2 weeks ago and vowed to give this a try (After reading their website re the Very Thai background.). First off, amazing service! The Hostess was great and our Server knocked it out of the park! He is extremely knowledgable and knew everything about the company, the dishes and which may cause allergies for those who needed. The desert--almost a coconut sorbet with a clear pineapple liquid turned into something similar to limoncello--great call by our server. The ambiance is quiet and the booths are quiet and private even though they were busy. Great "pure" Thai flavors came through in every course. Only potential improvement--"hold the garlic". Your cuisine doesn't need this and it's certainly not traditional. read more

With a reservation for two on a weekday, we were seated right away and the service was prompt throughout our meal. My friend and I shared three dishes: the green papaya corn salad, the grilled pork jowl with lime sauce, and the crispy pad thai. The standout was definitely the grilled pork jowl. It was incredibly tender, and the lime sauce was so good I could've honestly drank it lol. This is such a great addition to the mall. I'll definitely be stopping by again whenever I'm in the area for lunch or dinner. read more

Finally got to try this place in the Century City Mall where the old CPK was. It's a modern upscale casual ambiance. The server was top notch. She recommended dishes and checked back several times. The front desk wasn't very friendly though. Neither of them smiled or were warm. The food is very good. I'd say it's more of a Thai fusion. The standout was the Spicy Eggplant. It had fresh basil and garlic and the sauce was almost like a Chinese flavor. It was very good. I hope they make a homemade Mango Sticky Rice dessert or something soon. At this time, their only desserts were AMAN brand coconut milk ice cream, which is good but not "very Thai". read more

Very Thai is a Thai restaurant chain from Taiwan and heard good things about it so it's been on my list to try. The place is in the Century City Mall, closest to Santa Monica Blvd, on the second floor. Across from Container Store. If you're an Aperol spritz girly like me, get the Siam Spritz! It has guava and lime which really cut down the bitterness of the aperol. Apps: We got the Roti. 1 piece, it came out quick. It was decent. Get the Shrimp Toast! It's so good. I love shrimp toast and it was perfectly prepared with a Seasme seed crust. The papaya salad was great, too. It was fresh and for mild it had a little kick. So going to put it on the authentic asian scale that they didn't spice it down. Mild means mild spice but still there, like some other places. Mains: green curry was good, the portion was ok, it could have been a little bigger but the flavors was good and with a hint of spice for mild. I would have loved to try medium, but I was with a friend who didn't do a lot of spicy food but she enjoyed the kick she got with mild. Pad Thai was also good as well, we just got it with tofu but originally came with shrimp and pork as well. Side: we got the green beans with garlic. It was decent. No ding thai fung but was really good. Service was good, I think my friend trying to modify some dishes didn't go over well. The decor of this place was cute with high ceilings and view of the kitchen. I'll have to go again and try the other seafood dishes. Over all for 2 drinks, 1 app, 1 salad, 1 noodle, 1 side, 1 curry, 1 piece of Roti and extra side of rice came out to $160 and had some green beans and pad thai for left overs! Also no place besides the grocery store and the theater validated for parking so $13 for 2 hours. read more

Very Thai was very good! I took my Taiwanese parents here for dinner, having heard this is a chain in Taiwan and of course they had been before in Taiwan, but also verified consistency in elements at this US location. Family-style dishes so portions are 'just right.' For 4 adults and 2 children, 2 apps + 6 entrees were spot on. It IS quite pricey compared to a standard Thai joint, but expected given the location and aesthetic they're trying to achieve. Highlights: -Our server Devyn! (He was the sweetest.) And the staff in general was pleasant. -Appetizers (Yum: "shrimp mooncake" and shrimp toast") -Green beans with garlic (Rivaled if not BETTER than Din Tai Fun; perfection) -Wagyu with basil (Spicy) -Pineapple fried rice (Aww the bit of pork floss at the top was a nice li'l Taiwanese touch!) Lowlights: -$17 for an Oolong tea + sparking water mini carafe was more than my $15 cocktail? -HEAT: there is no AC - I guess they're trying to lean in on the open-air vibes, but combined with the booth and spicy dishes we were DYING, especially me- to the point Devyn noticed and got me ice cubes, and cocktail napkins (to mop my sweat) -Massaman Beef Curry: maybe the heat made it worse but wasn't our favorite. Very fragrant/aromatic. Overall great experience though and the place was busy, which is a good sign people love it. I can see why. read more

Located in a convenient location at the mall, just up the escalators from the parking and next to Bloomingdale's. I love the easiness of reservations offered via OpenTable as well. The restaurant honored the grace period, which made us seated immediately upon arrival. The menu was simple and not complicated. It is a bit pricey for its portion, but the flavors are great for most items. There was an issue with the Jasmine Green Milk Tea, as it was served in a cracked glass, but the server fixed it immediately and comped the drink. For the food, I loved the crispy pad thai and green curry wings. I wish there were more places that made crispy pad thai, but not sure if this is what pad thai should be because seems more like a crispy pad see ew because they used the wide flat noodles and the flavor profile matched that more. The green curry wings came with an abundance of crispy flakes and fried slice eggplants. The hint of lemongrass really made me enjoy the wings. The Wagyu with basil rice was okay. I've had better papaya salad and pineapple fried rice at other Thai spots. They also had a chili sauce and lemongrass sauce to ask on the side. The chili sauce tasted straight up like fish sauce and the lemongrass sauce adds a nice touch to any of the dishes. Overall, I would come again and to try their other dishes as well if I'm around the mall again. read more

Another mediocre, overpriced Century City restaurant. It's Thai food, so it's going to be decent, but there's no burst of flavor like Thai food usually has. Tasted like any run of the mill place, but blander and double the price. It was weird, too, bc the place had barely any people in it, but they were going to seat us squished between two tables filled with other diners, so we asked to be seated at a different table with some breathing room. In a city that has a Thai Town with the most spectacular, flavor filled, authentic food, this didn't even come close. Wouldn't return, wouldn't recommend. read more

Pro tip: 2nd floor by the container store! The restaurant itself has a great ambiance with chill decor with ample indoor seating and bar seating. It wasn't hard to get a reservation and the hosts and bar tenders were great, friendly and easy to talk to! Shout out to bartender Jessie who was friendly and even made small talk about the flickering light in the front. I personally appreciate people who can just ease into conversation, especially on days I just want to relax for dinner. Yelp swag was provided early (not all places I've visited provide this upfront or I have to remind them about it). The food appeared on the pricier side but from the looks and smell of the dishes that were coming out, I do believe I'd come back with an appetite to try their items. The green curry wings, crispy pad Thai and coffee ribs caught my attention. Dessert also is a must so I plan to be back for the awan classic vanilla coconut or strawberry flavors. As for the yelp goodies, the tamarind spritz was a cute, refreshing, and sweet drink. I appreciate bottle opener yelp swag because it's durable and useful. Lastly, ice cream was smooth, sweet and delicious. I wouldn't have guessed it was sesame given how it kinda tasted more like vanilla with dark chocolate pieces Haha. Of note, the cocktail is limited to three options, not everything on the menu but a great choice I may have not picked myself otherwise. Very Thai is definitely on my list of places to Come back to! 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 LOVE Thai food because I'm allergic to dairy and Thai food is usually safe for me. Met up with the little brother from the Big Brother Big Sister program and he was starving. Decided on Very Thai because there wasn't a wait and it was close by. Service was top notch and had lots of people checking in on us throughout the meal. Was worried because I was on a budget, but the portions were big enough for both us to share. Ordered the yellow curry and the master chef pad thai. The spice felt good and the flavors were popping. Needed to order another bowl of jasmine rice to soak up all the flavors of the yellow curry. Bathrooms had red lights which was cool. I imagined I was in Thailand's red light district or a vampire den. Very Thai is very upscale/hip which was a unique experience that I would highly recommend. read more

New spot at Century City that originated in Taiwan. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu, but my favorites were the GREEN PAPAYA MANGO SALAD, MASTER CHEF PAD THAI, and the GRILLED PORK JOWL with lime sauce. ENJOY! PS: Restaurant is on the 2nd floor across from Zinque Cafe! read more

Ambiance: Chic! Service: 2/5 - kept forgetting things. gave a bowl of rice 20 minutes before the main dish ? rice was cold by the time it came. brought the second bowl of rice after. ordered 2 diet cokes, gave us 1 then 1 another 15 minutes...forgot some other things as well. was not that busy when we came. very interesting technique. Papaya Salad: 3/5: it was ok Green Jasmine Milk Tea: 3/5 nothing special Yellow Chicken Curry: 3/5 it was average, the chicken was cooked well! 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

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

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

A little conflicted because the food is genuinely good, but so expensive for what it is. Our bill for two was almost $200. It's good, but it's just normal thai food. The wings are $18, after tax and tip they're $24. The wings are tiny, and you only get six, which means you're paying $4 per tiny little wing. The shrimp pancake is good, but comes out to $32 after tax and tip, and it probably costs them $2 in food costs... The wagyu bowl is a thin layer of beef over a lot of rice. The chicken curry has a lot of protein though. Again, it's all very good, but not worth the price. I would rather drop an extra $150 and go to a fancy restaurant than pay for this again. read more

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

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

The pad Thai and mango papaya salad were standouts as well. Service was fast and friendly and would be back! read more

Very Thai - Pork jowl - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We stumbled upon this place at the Century City Mall when we were looking for a place to dine before our movie. This place is relatively new and I believe replaces the CPK. The atmosphere is spacious and has an industrial modern feel, I loved the lemon tree near where we were seated and the stylish little gold lamps. We ordered cocktails to start The Siam Spritz (Aperol, guava, kaffir lime, prosecco, sparkling water) which Very Thai's take on the Aperol Spritz but better in my opinion with the enhancement of guava and prosecco. My husband ordered the Mango Tango (Tequila, lemon, mango, turmeric, Szechuan pepper) which I didn't think was very mango forward despite the name and beautiful hue, but it was good and had a nice little kick. We ordered the shrimp mooncake appetizer--crispy crepe fried in pork tallow with fresh shrimp, served with house plum sauce, the crispy pad Thai and the wok-fried Snake River Farms wagyu served with organic egg over rice with Thai basil. What a delight to cut into the crispy egg and have the yolk cascade over the rice and beef, bringing the whole dish together in a delicious way. There was enough to share among two people but the portions could be just a tad bigger, said the American haha. The pad Thai only came with 3 pieces of shrimp and my husband and I were sharing the dish so he had to sacrifice for me, poor guy. I've never had crispy pad Thai before and it was quite tasty but I did miss the regular noodles. I did wish there were a few more pieces of tofu too since it was lacking in shrimp. We'll definitely be back! read more

We were so excited to finally try this spot! We frequent Century City quite a bit and had seen Very Thai under construction for so long, so this review has been a long time coming I should preface that this isn't supposed to be authentic Thai food - it's a chain from Taiwan I think, but the food is still amazing. Food in general has a bit of a sweeter flavor profile than I'm used to for Thai food, but again understanding it's not meant to be super authentic. Service is amazing, one time we went I think they duplicated our drink order so we ended up getting an extra drink for free which was a fun surprise;) Love the ambiance of the place too. They also have a vegetarian forward menu which is really nice. Will be back to try more stuff on the menu! 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

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
