    My son always orders from here for delivery. So I decided to try it out with my mom. Place is clean, lady is nice & friendly and food is very good! Cant wait to come back and try more dishes.

    Man, I'm not sure what happened. Jaopaya used to be my go to! This last time they really dropped the ball. My order was wrong and the pad Thai had absolutely no flavor. I even had my husband try it because it was so weird that it didn't taste like anything at all, only oil. Also, no shrimp like I ordered (and paid extra for). Tom yum was good, but had like four pieces of chicken in it which was disappointing. Maybe it's because I ordered takeout later in the evening? Regardless, this was a complete miss for me. Maybe dine in is better? Not sure I would order takeout here again. Pretty disappointed :(

    Got a take out. It was so bad I'm not sure if it was intentional or by mistake, because literally everything we got tasted like someone dropped the salt shaker by accident and spilled half of it inside. I have never tasted something more salty. Every dish was literally nothing, but salt.

    Got the spicy noodles, egg rolls & fried wontons with Jasmine tea. The place is cozy & small with over a dozen tables inside, parking in the back & on the street. The lady was nice & food was hot , with yummy flavors. The spicy noodles were actually spicy & really good. Wontons were crunchy & fun to eat & so were the egg rolls. The cream cheese wontons were bomb. Hot , crunchy & flavorful.

    The blandest, most tasteless Pad Thai I have ever had.

    I have ordered through DD several times, and this last time was a disaster. The pad Thai was literally tasteless. Not kidding--it was like they forgot the sauce! I have attached a photo to demonstrate that the dish looks great, but look at the color--there is no flavoring at ALL in the dish. Zoom in on the noodles - lots of oil, but that's it. Have you ever seen Pad Thai that lightly colored/sauced? I haven't. Completely tasteless. I have had a *lot* of Thai food, and obviously Pad Thai and Pad See Ew are the litmus tests. This was the worst Pad Thai i have ever had. I will not be ordering from here again.

    Pad Thai with Shrimp
    Helen C.

    When you're in the mood for a delicious, quick meal, the pad thai with shrimp from this restaurant is a sure bet. The bits of egg included were delicious and I ordered the dish medium spicy. There was a perfect blend of sweet and savory, with a substantial portion that was enough for two meals. I also enjoyed a thai tea along with my dinner. It was a nice addition and was delivered without ice, which meant it did not get watered down before I was able to enjoy it. The amount of sweetness in the drink was perfect. This will be one of my regular restaurants to order from, due to the convenience and the large portions.

    D2. Pad Thai Chicken and Shrimp Dinner Special
    Eliseo R.

    We can here craving some Thai food for dinner. My girl friend and I had experienced their food before but through another friend of ours who recommended we order to go and we would just eat at their place. So after remembering where they were located, we decided to go. We came in hungry and ready to eat. We looked at their menu and decided to order the Dinner combination of pad Thai chicken and shrimp, pad see ew, red curry and combination fried rice. The food was so good!!!! All three of us were silent eating our food because of how good and tasty it was. The food came out really warm and ready to eat. Once we got all our food we just dove right in. We kept eating and even forgot that we ordered their Thai tea. The lady who was serving everyone was so nice!!! We were patient of course do to her being the only waitress/waiter. When she finished taking our order, she even have us looked over our order on the pad she was writing on to make sure it was right. And we definitely appreciated that. She also walked around a lot to make sure the customers and us were doing well. She even refilled our waters and Thai teas!!! She was amazing!!! At the very end, I was so full that I finally had time to look around and appreciate the decorations they had. Right above our table there were cute elephants. And I love elephants!!! The place was amazingly decorated. They do their best to keep it clean for sure!!! You can tell with the atmosphere of the place. This place is definitely a great secret place to eat at when you are wanting to eat Thai food at any given time. Looking forward to come back again to eat here and try other dishes!!!

    I came here for lunch and tried the pad see ew--absolutely delicious! The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the flavor was rich and savory. You can really taste how fresh everything is. The restaurant itself is super clean and well-kept, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back!

    Chicken fried rice
    Camille R.

    Mom, Auntie, and I were at a community event in Reseda on St. Patrick's day, and while walking the boulevard, we passed by a few restaurants. I was feeling Thai so I picked this place. It's was a cozy place with Thai art and decorations. The lady greeted us so gently and sweetly, I was sure it was gonna be a great meal. We ordered chicken satay, pad thai and chicken fried rice. Most pad thai's I've had get dry fast, then it's not so good. Their pad thai sauce was a little runny, but I liked it that way. It coated the noodles better. The fried rice was the blue ribbon of all the dishes. So much flavor! No soy sauce needed! I'm from the San Gabriel Valley, but if I'm ever in Reseda again, I'm making a beeline here!

    Mane What Can i say About this Spot Its a Hidden Gem Amongst my eyes where they always provide an exquisite calming service where you are provided amazing food and vibes overall i love the atmosphere and quality of the food amazing simply that way.

    Steamed vegg dumplings
    Angel G.

    They say intuition is a thing. I drove by many times, but something always made pass by, I guess that was my Angel... So, I ordered delivery . Let's begin: 1. No utensils 2. No napkins 3.No soy or spicy sauce Moving on to food. I have no complaints about steamed dumplings. Although, they were a big overdone. Pad Thai, as good as it looks disappointed me. The noodles itself were good. Good combination of traditional sweet/sour . Mets were bad. Chicken was -1 ( minus ) of taste. Like eating a rubber. Beef was with a bit of flavor but it was extremely chewy , like the worst cuts of meet, the worst ... Shrimp is shrimp , nothing to say there. On the good note, not greasy and no taste of old oil, felt pretty light. It's not bad, it's ok. 2 dishes $28 before tax. Would I do it again, I don't think so. But the meal didn't ruin my day. It's ok...

    Spicy noodles with chicken. Would recommend, good flavor and spicy.

    Got the spicy noodles with chicken. Had good flavor and were spicy. Would love to try their pad Thai next time.

We got there minutes past their lunch time so ended up ordering from the dinner menu. It wasn't very crowded two other tables were occupied. We're not huge eaters, but unanimously agreed that the portions weren't generous especially compared to the price point. One person in our group ordered a yellow curry (vegetarian with no tofu) for $19.95. They literally got a small bowl and for some reason had to order the rice separately as an add on, it was ridiculous. I'm not sure if that was a one off or the waiter randomly decided it would be extra, but every other Thai restaurant I've been to includes the rice. So essentially all my friend ordered was a small bowl of vegetarian yellow curry for $20... I ordered the Khao soy which was good, and the third person was satisfied with their Kung Pao shrimp. I'm giving it the 3 stars for the service which was fast and he was on it.

I have been working with Uber deliveries for more than ten years and have delivered thousands of food orders across Los Angeles. When I arrived at the restaurant to pick up the customer's order, I noticed that it included many items and several drinks. As soon as I lifted the paper bag, I realized it was too heavy and could easily tear or get damaged before reaching the customer. I politely asked the employee in charge to please check the package and, if possible, either place it into another bag for extra support or divide the food into two bags to make it safer for transport. The employee kindly agreed and started helping. However, a young man who introduced himself as the manager interrupted and said, "We don't have time for this." He then rudely told me to cancel the delivery and leave the restaurant immediately. In all my years of work, I have never experienced such disrespect and lack of professionalism toward someone who was simply trying to make sure the customer received their food safely and properly. He clearly stated that neither I nor the customer mattered to him, and that I should either take the order as it was or leave immediately. By acting this way, he made three major mistakes: 1. Disrespecting me 2. Disrespecting the customer 3. Disrespecting his own employee who had already understood the problem and was trying to solve it professionally In the end, the same employee kindly solved the issue by dividing the order into two bags. I am writing this report so that customers and the restaurant owner can be aware of the quality of packaging and customer service at this restaurant. My goal is only to encourage improvement. I sincerely hope this manager realizes his mistake and rude behavior, apologizes, and that the restaurant pays more attention to proper food packaging in the future. I also informed the customer at the time of delivery and explained the situation, asking them to report the matter to the restaurant owner as well. In addition, the restaurant's relatively low review rating (3.5 out of 5) clearly suggests that management should pay closer attention to these kinds of issues. In today's highly competitive market, restaurants that ignore customer service, professionalism, and proper food packaging will have very little chance of long-term success. With more than ten years of delivery experience, I would also be willing to share my professional experience and suggestions, if needed, to help improve the quality of their food packaging and delivery process. Thank you for your attention.

This time the soup was served luke warm and was diluted. The main dish, Pad Prik Khing with Beef was a knockout. The beans were well cooked and soaked, like the tender beef slices, in a thick and spicy (I asked for that) gravy. The aroma, the Thai spices, the taste was exotic.
