    Finally made it to Giti Thai after having it bookmarked for quite some time. We came on a Wednesday evening and it was pretty empty, so we didn't have any issues with a wait. Service was great! Since it was our first time, our server gave us a few recommendations, which was helpful. My husband ordered the Giti Thai's Spicy Swai ($18), which is battered and fried swai fillets with mushrooms and fresh bell peppers. This dish was FULL of flavor! Everything paired really well together and it was definitely a good recommendation. I ordered the Orange Chicken with Broccoli ($17), made with chicken glazed in a sweet and spicy orange sauce with broccoli and carrots. It was also very flavorful and delicious. We shared the fried Gyoza ($14) for an appetizer. You get eight filled with chicken, cabbage, onion, edamame, mushrooms, garlic and ginger, served with their house-made gyoza sauce. Those were delicious too! Overall, everything we ordered was flavorful, service was great, and we really enjoyed our first visit.

    I've heard about Giti Thai and the fusion of black and Asian ingredients and food. They play really good music. My server was busy but she was super kind. There was a 20 minutes wait. It's a small-ish restaurant with about a good 15 tables and a mini outdoor patio. My friend and I stopped by for the oxtail curry which they serve only on the weekend. There was about 3 pieces of oxtail and it was tasty. The food did not disappoint. The curry was nice and thick. However, the food did not come out hot. Our food came out quickly. So quickly that we received our food prior to our water, soda and wine. When we received our oxtail curry, they NEVER brought out the rice. So, we had to wait for the server, 10 mins after receiving the food, to come back with the drinks to then bring up that the rice never came out. When I used the bathroom, the drains were backed up so there was a bit of water on the floor and there was a stench. Food is good but the service needs to be better. I found street parking because the parking lot is small and wasn't available.

    Went to Giti Thai on June 19 to support a black owned business, unfortunately it did not go well. Service was very slow, they were not prepared to seat us for our 7pm reservation until almost an hr later, and took almost as long for the food to come out. I ordered the yellow curry with chicken (it costs extra to have chicken) and when I received the food there were only a few tiny bits of chicken (which I paid extra for). I took out every piece of chicken to show visually just how little it was. The bowl of curry was 80% curry and 20% everything else (vegetables + chicken). It was very disappointing. It was also a bit spicy when I asked for mild. I told the waiter and he took the food back, they brought back another bowl of curry with slightly more chicken. It was very disappointing especially after a 2 hr seating/waiting experience... The Thai tea was also very bad tasting. Overall a bad experience, I would not come back.

    Thai tea time!

    We've been excited to try this spot for a minute. Seated right away and when served with our drinks, my Thai tea was not sweet!!!! That was my start. I'll not go into detail much ... I concur with the slow service, waitress never greeting us on arrival but was ready to take our order and missed my green bean order completely. I was actually relieved to not receive it. My drunken noodles were bland. All three of us were served separately. My entree was last at 12 minutes from the first entree delivered....and bland. Explanations were given on the food shuffle but it was not making sense. The host was holding it down but his one act was getting tired. We were there to celebrate my husband's birthday and the onlyyyy blessed part was his oxtail rice dish was the bomb diggity! That made the evening, he was satisfied with the food but definitely not the in between. This was a one and done for us.

    I'm back at Gita Thai. My daughter loves this place. She wanted the Gita rice and the pad thai. I usually get the drunken noodles, but instead I picked the yellow curry and the chicken fried rice. It was absolutely excellent. We did a phone order she was really good on the phoneThe wait staff was also fantastic. They were kind, and they kept checking on us. They remembered me from the last time. It was a great time. I ate half my food one day and the other half the next and it was tasty.

    Okay let's start with the good the place was definitely a vibe and beautifulky decorated loved the wall mural and the swinging chair! We were excited to try the Black owned Thai restaurant. The food was soo yummy! The veggie egg rolls and crab Rangoons are soo yummy! My sister loved her oxtails and fried rice. We ended up needed leave because in there was an accident near the airport and I would miss my flight if we didn't hurry. So I got my food to go! My crab fried rice was sooo good made with real crab not imitation! It wasn't spicy tho I asked for very spice. The issue our waitress was slow! We got our appetizers very fast and those were hot and fresh. Our main dishes took forever. It wasn't until Tre I think he was the manager or owner not sure came over and inquired what food we were waiting on and went to check! He made us some wings to apologize which were yummy and hot. My sister's oxtails and rice wasn't hot and she let him know but the rest of our dishes were still being made. We told the waitress we needed to go and to make the rest of the food to go and asked for our check and receipt. Seems she had no sense to urgency and went to another table. So thankfully Tre and another waitress assisted us even realizing we was missing another dish! I made my flight thanks goodness for pre check and I ate my rice when I got home and it was good! We will go back because of Tre and the food but that waitress needs more training. So that's why I gave it 3 stars!

    Combo Fried Rice
    Tosha L.

    Had been wanting to try something else here since my first visit weeks ago. Today I ordered the combination fried rice as well as the oxtail fried rice plate to share. The cashier again asked, "if I wanted it spicy". My response was YES. Let me just say that there was NOT one ounce of spice in either of my dishes. And I'm a little disappointed because I was ready to taste what I paid for. Not sure why they keep asking, but never provide the actual spice. It was also a little annoying that they list opening at noon, but when I got there at 12:10...they were CLOSED! I was told "today we open at 12:30". Kinda unprofessional, but I digress. Food was still good today, but I am curious how it would taste with the spice level that they advertise. Again...this place is not cheap, so getting what I ask for should not be an issue.

    Decided to stop by Giti Thai since I was in town visiting and I have seen a lot of hype on social media. There's lots of parking in the back of the shopping center so I had no problem finding a spot. I was in a bit of a hurry so I wanted to order for take out. It was busy when I walked in on a Saturday afternoon. I ordered the crab friend rice, Giti wings and the cucumber lemonade. I sat at the bar and waited for my food, there was another lady also waiting. They saw we were waiting a while so they gave us a few veggie spring rolls to snack on....that was very nice of them! The wait was pretty long...I could see that they had a lot of orders to get through. The food was still hot when I got back to my hotel room and it was so so good! The crab fried rice was so flavorful and had a good amount of crab...the wings were sweet, salty and sticky and a perfect compliment to the fried rice. I will definitely be back to eat inside of the restaurant!

    Giti Thai is a black owned Halal Thai restaurant serving authentic Thai dishes with a soulful twist. I came for the oxtail dishes but was sad to learn it was already sold out by the time we got there around 6:30pm on a Saturday. The place isn't big, but they have a decent amount of tables inside and a small patio with a few tables outside. They also don't take reservations so we put our names down and waited about an hour for the next available table. We just went over to Somerville and had drinks at the bar while we waited. When we returned, our table was just about ready and they seated us promptly and took our drink orders. They offer Thai iced tea, soft beverages, beer and wine. We got a good variety of dishes: Giti Wings $14 worth a try! These were so flavorful, crispy, spicy and juicy. Yellow Thai Curry $18 with potatoes, carrots, onions and a bowl of rice. The curry was rich, creamy with coconut milk and spices, very comparable to other Thai places around. Drunken Noodles $18 the flat rice noodles with crisp onions, bell peppers, garlic, fresh Thai basil and cherry tomatoes had a nice kick and was also similar to what I've had at great Thai restaurants in Long Beach. Giti Thai's Spicy Swai $18 the Swai fillets were lightly battered and fried, paired with mushrooms, fresh bell peppers, garlic, Thai basilI and a bowl of rice. I thought this was a unique and flavorful dish. Giti's Garlic Lamb Chops $26 three perfectly cooked lamb chops were served with a spring mix salad, jasmine rice and drizzled with mustard ginger dressing. The owner came around and greeted patrons, which was a personable touch. I commended him on the flavors of the dishes and he said he got one of the best chefs who specializes in Thai cuisine. I also asked what led him to open a Thai restaurant and he said he surveyed folks in the community and this is what was requested. Brilliant strategy as the restaurant is clearly popular, packed and people are willing to wait to get their Thai fix!

    Had a great experience at Gigi Thai and really loved the food here. The restaurant is located down the block from Somerville and the entrance is in the strip mall. There's a good amount of parking in the back or even on the streets. Came here for lunch on a Saturday with a friend. We had to wait a bit for a table but was sat but our server. Service was great and our server was attentive to our needs. The restaurant is great for any occasion. We ordered the oxtail fried rice and the lamb chops. Each dish was delicious and flavorful. The portions are huge and we were able to share each dish. Highly recommend and would definitely come back!

    Came here for a midweek dinner and it did not disappoint. I loved the overall design and vibe--from the artwork to the lampshades, everything felt thoughtfully put together. The wings were on point: crispy, slightly sweet, with just the right amount of heat. I also enjoyed the fried rice and the curry lamb. The curry was a bit thicker than I'm used to, but the flavor was excellent. Don't skip the Thai tea--it's a must. I'll definitely be back to try more items.

    I've only been to Giti Thai once, when it first opened some years ago and unfortunately I was not impressed.... but I decided to try it again and let me say I was impressed. I made a reservation and although this particular day they were short staffed; they exceeded my expectations. The staff was warm and attentive. One of the owners Brandon was there and he catered to the entire restaurant, he was gracious and humbling. Our waitress Rachel was a pleasure, she was being pulled in every direction but kept a sweet smile on her face and was always available when we needed her. The food was delicious, everything we ordered was great, but that crab fried rice was unexpectedly good; I had to order one to go. This place will remain in my rotation.

I was surprised to be charged separately for fried rice and then again for vegetables without any protein included something I haven't encountered at other Thai restaurants. My most recent experience was especially disappointing when my order was incorrect, and I wasn't able to get a response from the restaurant until the following day. There's a lot of potential here because the food can be excellent when it's on point. I hope the restaurant focuses on consistency in both the kitchen and customer service, as I'd love to see it return to being one of my go-to Thai spots.

But after that initial hiccup, Service was friendly and attentive. Would definitely come here again if we are in the area!

But let me tell you... the outside patio is where the party's at! It's nicely decorated, warm, inviting, and has a whole different energy. Unfortunately, it was dark during our visit, so getting good pictures was a struggle. But enough about the scenery... Let's Get To The Food! We ordered: * Crab Fried Rice * Oxtail Curry * Pad Kee Mow with Pork Belly For cocktails, my wife went with a Phony, while I had the Sunrise Sprits and a Farm House IPA. Everything came out hot, fresh, and FAST which is always a win in my book. And the flavors? They were doing what they were supposed to do! We got spicy, savory, flavorful bites across the board. Nothing felt flat or lacking in flavor. The combination of seasonings and spice kept things interesting, and we definitely enjoyed working our way through the dishes. My only real complaint was the Oxtail Curry. Don't get me wrong, the oxtail was cooked beautifully and the curry flavor was ON POINT! But for $45.95, I was expecting a little more love on the plate. We got two oxtails, and for that price point, I feel the portion should be a bit more generous. Give me a couple more pieces and we're having a completely different conversation! Overall, Farm House Kitchen is definitely worth checking out. Good food, good atmosphere, friendly vibes spot. I recommend giving them a visit.

There's no outdoor seating. The interesting: I paid for metered parking right in front of the restaurant but there's also a parking garage across the street. There are toy cars in the cabinet. I'm not sure if they're meant for display or for kid guests to play with.

    I came here for a quick dinner a few nights ago. This restaurant is located near El Porto and…read morethere's plenty of paid parking across the street from the restaurant. Since it's close to Christmas, metered parking was free courtesy of the city of Manhattan Beach. It was a cold night so I was looking forward to having some Tom yum soup and added a side of rice. My boyfriend got pepper and garlic chicken that came with a side of rice. Our server is we a very polite and nice. Our food came out fairly quickly but my soup was a little sweet for my taste. My boyfriend didn't love the sauce used. The food was not bad but I guess just not what we were expecting. There's a 10% discount for cash payment and a 4% transaction fee for using a credit card thus there is a 14% higher cost for using card vs using cash. The food prices are on the higher side here.

    DELICIOUS!!!! I love this place! Highly recommend!…read more Food came out pretty quick! Would definitely bring clients back for lunches.

    I usually go to the Redondo Beach location but decided to try the El Segundo restaurant. I am…read morewriting this review after 2 visits. As far as decoration and space, I like the El Segundo location better. Also, the cocktails were well balanced and refreshing. Additionally, the staff from hostess to our server and busser were all amiable and professional. The downside was the food, which is the most important thing for the restaurant and determines if I will come back. I used to be so delighted at the flavors and creative little twists at Little Sister. However, the food these past two visits to Little Sister was basic at best. For example, we ordered the papaya salad and there was no flavors as in no dressing. We ordered the short ribs and the flavor was uneven and bland in 2/3rd of the meat and the noodles were also dry. Even their famous garlic noodle and crepe was too soggy and even bitter (overcooked ingredients). I was with good friends and with the cocktails, we still had a fun night but was very disappointed at the food has really gone down in the past few years. The sad thing is the quality of the ingredients was not the issue. Seems like the prep and execution has gotten lax and lazy and it really felt like the kitchen was phoning it in. I am still giving it a 3 stars instead of less stars to wish them improvement. The fried rice with prawns and imperial rolls still holds up. And due to their service staff, I cannot give them less. These days, it is hard for restaurants to get professional and decent staff so please appreciate them.
