Very nice place. Especially enjoyed their Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodle) Eggplant and basil was very nice too. You have the choices of protein and spicy level for every dish read more

One of, if not the best Thai food in LA. There is not enough stars to give this place. The food is delightful. Light, filling, and absolutely beautiful. The staff is friendly, sweet, attentive, and honestly fun to be around. This place is a must. read more

Okay yum!!! I'm always skeptical of Thai take out from new spots, but my friend said she got take out here and really enjoyed it! I ordered the pork jowl and panang curry with tofu (it comes with rice). The price is a lil expensive imo for Thai take out (approximately $18-20 each(. The restaurant kinda took forever to make it but it's fine. The panang curry was very well seasoned, mild spice was actually quite mild, lots of soft tofu, and a really nice thick curry texture! Lots of other spots will have a super thin and watery curry, so I was veryyyy pleasantly surprised when I ate it. Also im happy it comes with rice!! The pork jowl... probably a must order for me going forward. I wasn't even going to order it but I saw people posting pics here of it and it looked appetizing so I got it also. So GOOD. There's a yummy char on it, it's sooo tender and juicy and lil fatty. The jeow som sauce it comes with is also SO GOOD, great balance of sweet and sour. Definitely going to be my go-to place to order Thai when im feeling like splurging a bit! read more

Such a cute restaurant with pretty decor. The staff were so nice and friendly. The food was wonderful too. Street parking is also easy. We got the crispy chicken green curry which was so yummy. The medium spice has a nice kick to it and the chicken was moist and soft. We also got the chicken panang curry and got it spicy. It was nice and creamy, plus a little bit of sweetness and a good spicy flavour. The mango sticky rice portion was a little smaller than expected but I really liked that the sticky rice wasn't overly sweet and the mango was refreshing. Overall, the flavours for me are a little milder than what I would find in Thai town. But I liked this restaurant because the spices aren't too intense and still light yet full of flavours. Plus, the ambiance is romantic and chill. I would definitely go back to try other items on the menu. read more

This is the perfect triangle of excellent food, service, and ambiance. You feel like you're somewhere else packed into this space with international music playing and cool Thai designs and neon lights. I had a pineapple duck curry and chicken skewers. The wife had the original pad Thai which looked phenomenal as well. The service was so kind and met our every desire. This is the best Thai in LA hands down. Another good one is in Redondo beach but nothing compares to this. Excellence is operative word here. Anything else Thai is uncivilized. Civilize Thai Bistro is also one of the very best places I've ever been and not just for Thai. Thanks and thank you to Gina and Noy. read more

My wife and were in the area. We live in SCV. We love Thai Food and always love hitting up a new one. Although rarely we ever say anything bad about a place but what we do is tag a place for a revisit and Civilize is 100% that place. The service was great and friendly. The nice gal running the joint felt like mom checking on us to make sure we are happy. We had the wings, curry, fried rice, Pad Thai and Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. We wanted a few more items but that's next time for certain ! Thank you ! read more

I've seen this place by walking past numerous of time but never been in. Until seeing loads of post on social media that actually gave me the pushed. We happened to be in the area for a couple of hours and with lunch approaching, might as well give it a shot. They also had a good lunch menu which was also a plus for the visit. There's street metered parking along little Santa Monica. I'm not sure if there's a parking lot that's affiliated with the restaurant. It's not that big with 2 tables with umbrellas outside. Inside, there's a good amount of tables but still not overly big. We opted for outside as it was quite nice. Menu wise, we just went with the lunch specials. 14.99 for the lunch option of whatever choices you like. A few curries dish, noddle dish, orange chicken and a few other items. Each comes with a side salad, rice (noddle dishes doesn't come with rice) and an egg roll. Potion wise was quite nice. Started off with the salad which the sauce was really tasty. Basic mixed green with like a Thai dressing. We had the chicken panang which was really good. The curry was very flavorful and with the right spicy count. And also the spicy drunken noodle with beef. Most place will include a chicken/ beef to the noodles. Here, chicken is included in the price but beef was 1.00 extra. Still pretty good and the right amount of spicy. You could tastes it. And the egg roll with the sweet dipping sauce to finish off the meal. The service was nice and the food was really good. Lunch menu wise. I'm sure if lunch was good, everything on the menu would be as well. I always love a noodle soup but I don't think they have any on the menu. Would I be back, that's a yes. We enjoyed our meal, the place was quite nice and people outside were great. read more

This restaurant totally surprised me! The staff was very polite, courteous, and attentive. The dining area was tight but arranged well. Outside sidewalk dining available. I happen to be working 3 doors down for the day and decided to give this place a try. I'm glad I did. I was told that they had only been open 8 months. But they're rocking it! I was surprised to see crying tiger on the menu and jumped on it. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare , as requested, served with fresh vegetables and the sauce was absolutely amazing. It may be one of the best crying tiger sauces I've ever had, and that includes Phuket! I was reminded of why I fell in love with crying tiger to begin with. This will be my go to Thai when in the area. read more

My Son was craving for Thai food and luckily we passed by this CIVILIZE THAI BISTRO . I searched it up right away on Yelp if they were good and so far their current rating is 4.8 stars in Yelp . We made a couple of rounds to find a parking 'coz mostly we saw side street parking and there's plenty of small eateries around as well, so we kinda had a hard time looking for a parking, but luckily we found one after just right in front of their restaurant. Theres a line when we came, the place is very small, probably 25 people for the indoor capacity and a few seating outdoors. Their Menu has a lot to choose from, but I ordered the following that I knew my Son will like, I ordered: *CRISPY TOFY DELIGHT *FRESH SUMMER ROLL (Shrimps) *PAD WOON SEN with CRISPY PORK BELLY *SNOW CRAB FRIED RICE *EGGPLANT & BASIL with CHICKEN *THAI BASIL SEAFOOD (KRA PAO) *DUCK PINEAPPLE CURRY *MANGO STICKY RICE We started with our Appetizer, the CRISPY TOFU, and the FRESH SUMMER ROLL. The CRISPY TOFU has a nice crisp to it, but without the sauce to dip it into it's too plain to eat, like no seasoning at all, I have had Crispy Tofu in other restaurants and it was very well seasoned. THE FRESH SUMMER ROLL was packed and tasty, I don't need the sauce that came with it 'coz it's already good as it is. SNOW CRAB FRIED RICE, this is very good and very flavorful, I recommend getting this! PAD WOON SEN with crispy pork belly, I think this one is the only one we didn't like much, the crispy pork belly on it was very tasty, but the noodles were bland. THAI BASIL with SEAFOOD (KRA PAO) oh this has big seafoods on it and the sauce on this one is so yummy. DUCK PINEAPPLE CURRY, I've eaten a lot of Curry, but this is my first time eating DUCK CURRY. This is actually pretty good, the duck is tender and the sauce was delicious, you're gonna need a lot of rice on this one 'coz the sauce itself is good already. EGGPLANT & BASIL with chicken, I stopped ordering this in Thai restaurants 'coz it's either it's too Oily or the eggplant is too soggy, but here the Eggplant is not overcooked, it's just done right and not soaked in Oil. For DESSERT we had the MANGO STICKY RICE, it's good, the same as other Mango sticky rices at any Thai restaurant. The SERVICE is on point, we had GINA as our server, she's a sweetheart, my Son said she reminded him of his AUNT 'coz she kept assisting my Son on getting the bowl of food, when my son will get a Curry she will come fast and move the rice closer to my son's side, as I said she's a sweetheart. The place is small, but we can taste on the food that they put their best into making it good, one thing we noticed the most was that all of their MEATS were well seasoned, as in every single Meat on our food was very tasty. If you are in BEVERLY HILLS and suddenly crave for THAI FOOD, then try this place, but as I mentioned at the beggining of my review this place is small, so have patience if there's a line. read more

this is a super tiny restaurant with a very powerful pineapple duck curry dish! it's very rich and creamy, and very sweet and nutty. i do wish it was spicier (i ordered medium spice) so it could've balanced out the sweet pineapple. the duck tasted great, could've been a little more tender. the staff is very quick and attentive, and the food comes out almost immediately. i would def come back and try their other popular dishes! read more

The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. I had Padt Thai with tender chicken and plenty of egg. It was the perfect amount of sweet with a lime(optional)squeezed on top. The peanuts and bean sprouts gave it the perfect crunch. My son had the orange chicken. He wasn't interested in sharing it but he said he enjoyed it. They also give you an egg roll with the lunch portion. It also was hot and fresh. It only had vegetables in it but it was really good. They serve a salad first with a tasty Thai dressing. The server was very nice and attentive. It didn't take long to get our food so it's a great place to go for lunch. It is very small and quaint, but there is seating outside which will be nice in the summer. I live in the South Bay , but I will definitely make a trip back to Beverly Hills to eat here. It's not expensive either. read more

Why aren't there more affordable lunch specials or lunch specials in general in Beverly Hills? Well, you know why. Been working a month in this neighborhood and finally I have found the place. And it was worth the 12 minute jaunt in the midday heat. The staff are so sweet and personable. The space is cozy and filled with character. My side salad, egg roll, and sizable entry revived me to tackle the rest of the work day. read more

Happened upon this place on a tip from a friend. Wow! Civilize Thai Bistro is truly a hidden gem. And the best part? It's in Beverly Hills! The food was not only bursting with flavor but also surprisingly affordable, which is rare for this area. Each dish was made fresh and plated like a work of art, showing real care and creativity behind the menu. Our waiter was incredibly attentive, making sure we understood everything and felt welcome. The ambiance? Effortlessly cool and cozy. Somehow, four different tables sparked up a spontaneous group conversation, and the whole vibe felt like an intimate dinner party with friends. My friend and I ended up chatting with newlyweds in tech, a professional woman doctor, a guy who's both a corporate pro and a skilled driver, and a family running their own business. It was the kind of night that restores your faith in humanity. We stayed right until closing, and the kitchen never missed a beat. The only tiny hiccup was some clunky noise from clearing the unique serving dishes--understandable, but maybe something they could streamline for an even smoother experience. Still, this place gets a solid from me. I almost don't want to share it... but it deserves the love. #HiddenGem #ThaiFoodLovers #BeverlyHillsEats #FoodieFinds #CivilizeThaiBistro #YelpElite #GirlsNightOut #AffordableLuxury #FlavorExplosion #DiningVibes #ViralEats #FreshPlates #SupportLocalRestaurants #YelpReview #UnpretentiousDining read more

We celebrated my husband's birthday here and had such a great experience. The food was absolutely incredible! They accommodated our group so smoothly and the service was warm, friendly, and attentive throughout. What really stood out was the effort they made to make my husband feel special, adding candles to a cake we brought, singing for him, and taking pictures for our group. Highly recommend--we'll definitely be back! read more

Civilize Thai is a casual Thai restaurant on the edge of the Beverly Hills triangle. It feels like a true hidden gem amongst all the glitzy expensive restaurants in the area, and is great for low key, low cost night out. The service was warm and friendly, and when asked we were told about all the fan favorites on the menu. We opted for the crab fried rice which was loaded with real crab, wasn't oily, and was super delicious. We also had one of the many fish dishes which was very good. The restaurant doesn't have their liquor or wine license yet, and we were allowed to bring our own bottle with no corkage fee. They expect to get it soon. Parking is on S Santa Monica Blvd or in one of the many nearby parking garages in Beverly Hills. Highly recommend! read more

Small location, but food is delicious and service is wonderful! They have lunch specials that come with salad, egg roll and rice. Can definitely taste a lot of ginger in their salad. Tried their green curry with tofu. Loved it. Had a mix of eggplant, green beans, bell peppers and bamboo shoots. Flavor was a tad spicy and had a good kick but not to the point where I couldn't eat my food or where my stomach hurt. :) (this is coming from a person that always order no spicy) read more

I got the pad kee mao, and the noodles were really good. I loved the spice level--it was just perfect for me. Bold, fragrant flavors with a great balance of ingredients and a solid amount of chicken. The mango sticky rice was delicious, though it got a little too sweet by the end. The coconut milk syrup was quite sweet but had a really nice flavor. The rice itself was perfectly sticky and paired well with the mango. read more

Stopped in for lunch as I'm trying to try more "local" restaurants in the city. We ordered family style, which works with the lunch portions. Garlic green beans were delicious. The green curry lunch came with rice, an egg roll, and side salad. All was delicious, but the salad was the highlight for me with the ginger dressing! The Tom Ka with chicken was good too. Both soup and curry had plenty flavor and protein. Will be back to try something else in the future. read more

Amazing Thai restaurant! Came here for lunch with a friend. I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now and was super excited to finally go. Civilize Thai Bistro is located in Beverly Hills not far from Rodeo Drive. When you walk in, you're greeted by the friendly staff. The restaurant has a cozy feel to it and has numerous seats. Due to the size of the establishment, if you are coming here for a large dinner, I would suggest making reservations or calling the restaurant to ensure seating. My friend and I ordered from the lunch special which seems to be on the menu everyday, even on the weekend. I ordered the orange chicken while my friend ordered the basil Thai dish. Both dishes were delicious and were a great size. I even had enough for leftovers! Before our entrees, we were given delicious salad and the dishes both came with egg rolls. The food and service were excellent and I will definitely be back! I highly recommend! read more
