    It's always appreciated when establishment has its own parking area. You can easily park in the adjacent lot or there is a neighboring much larger lot next-door. Staff was quick to greet me as soon as I walked in. Had the cashew nut chicken and Thai coffee. Both were very fresh and the cashew nut was made to order. Good variety of vegetables in the cashew nut chicken and sauce was tasty. There is a patio area to dine outside. That looks nice but a bit too hot today for that.

    My husband loved the food as much as I did. Many vegetarian pescatarian choices for us. We ordered a lot so we could bring home leftovers. I highly recommend this place. For Thai lovers, mom pop quality.

    Wonton Soup (8.6/10) -- my favorite dish of the night. the wontons are juicy and crispy. The broth is light but so flavorful. Khao Soi Soup (8.2/10) -- spicy, salty, balanced well with the coconut milk. a great crunch and lovely add ons to adjust the soup to your taste. Crab Fried Rice (7.5/10) -- nothing outstanding but a good way to get full.

    Tasty Thai! While parked in the big parking lot for Vons we saw a big sign for Khao Soi. We loved the dish so we just had to try the place! The crab Khao Soi is one of their specials and was quite fragrant and delicious! The combo of flat rice and crispy egg noodles was great with the veggies and bits of crab. We also enjoyed the drunken noodle with fried tofu. The dish looked not as saucy as other places but it was not bland and had a good kick from the chili. Of course you can always adjust the heat level to your liking. We came on a Monday night and there was quite a few folks having dinner plus a good stream of take out and delivery orders come through. Parking is available in front but can get crowded with all the businesses in the complex.

    Location 4 stars: In Studio City, California, off of Ventura Blvd between Laurel Canyon and Whitsett. The restaurant is not physically on Ventura Blvd though. You will have to enter a long driveway into the shopping plaza and the restaurant will be to your left. There are a few parking spots in front of the restaurant and there is a parking structure on the premises. There is also limited metered parking on Ventura Blvd. Venue 4 stars: Smaller restaurant with indoor tables and booths and covered outdoor seating. Service 3 stars: Basic and sufficient. One disappointing thing that I noticed is that they recommend the tip amount based on the total after tax, which is not correct. Tipping is customarily calculated based on the total before tax. Some restaurants have been trying to do this recently which I find misleading and I will call them out on it. I have posted a picture of the check. Food 4 stars: Extensive and diverse menu of Thai cuisine, with all the usual staples and a few signature dishes. Prices were on par with similar restaurants. We started with the Tom Kha Chicken Soup and the Shrimp Cake Balls. For our main dishes, we had their signature Khao Soi with Crispy Pork, the Ka Prow Over Rice with Crispy Pork, and the Penang Curry with Chicken. Be aware that you have to order rice for the curry separately. I found the Shrimp Cake Balls to be rather bland and chewy. The sweet sauce that was provided with it did not help much either. I also felt that the Crispy Pork was too greasy and gamey but that might just be me. Everything else was great and recommended. Unfortunately we did not have room to try any of their desserts this time. Drinks 3 stars: No alcohol! Typical Thai restaurant menu of soft drinks, Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Coffee. I had the Thai Iced Coffee and it was good. The Last Word 4 stars: A solid option for Thai food when you are in the area. Recommended!

    2nd time ordering from here and all good once again ! Food was tasty and arrived in a timely manner . Just couldve used utensils but otherwise everything ok :)

    7/10 I tried Khao So Thai through a delivery app because they had a special deal, and I'll say this they give you a ton of food for your money. The value is definitely there. That said, the flavors just didn't do it for me. It wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't great. I've had plenty of Thai spots that leave you craving more with that mouthwatering taste, and this just didn't come close. Overall, I wouldn't order from here again, but if you're looking for large portions at a fair price, it could still work for you. I ordered khao soi and pad Thai

    They say this place is the best Thai in studio city. Well then studio city must not have that great of a Thai scene. Because this was so mid

    A super small unassuming restaurant that we just happened to come across. Now I've eaten a LOT of Thai food in my life including in Thailand and I will say the food here is AMAZING. We had the Khoi Soi Soup spicy with Tofu, the mango fish and Crab Fried Rice. All were amazing especially the Soup. Will definitely be back

    Khao Soi + Roasted Duck Noodle Soup
    Lucy L.

    If the restaurant is named after a dish, that dish better be on point and the khao soi here did not disappoint. It's usually not my go to order but after having it here, I've been converted. The duck noodles were also very flavorful and the noodles were cooked perfectly.

    The interior is a bit small and not that much seating so expect to wait if they're busy. The wait is so worth it though. Everything we ate was so good and well seasoned. The Thai tea tasted a bit watered down

    Chicken Satay (5 pcs)
    Susie L.

    Came here for dinner. Their website says they close at 9:00 pm on Saturday, but in fact, they close at 10:00 pm. Kelsey provided wonderful service. We ordered the larb salad, green curry, and chicken satay. The chicken satay was extremely juicy. The peanut sauce and cucumber salad were the perfect compliments. Although the larb salad had a really good flavor, it was definitely more spicy than expected because of the red pepper flakes they put inside. Nevertheless, the dressing had such a good flavor and the amount of chicken it had was so plentiful. My absolute favorite dish was the green curry. It was so extremely flavorful. It had the perfect balance of spicy and sweet. I got it mild because it definitely is far too spicy otherwise. I would highly recommend. Also, loved the Moo ping with sticky rice (pork skewers) and blanket shrimp. The pork is juicy and flavorful. Cooked to perfection. The blanket shrimp were lightly fried with a thin layer of soy paper. The shrimp were huge and delicious. I will definitely be back because they have so many items in their menu that look absolutely delicious. The only downfall is they are closed on Sundays.

    Tom Yum Soup
    Linh B.

    Overall the food is pretty good. The Tom Yum has really good flavor I just wish there were more veggies and meat in it. The Pad Thai and Moo Ping were excellent. The service was a bit slow. The restaurant was full of patrons and they were slammed with takeout orders. There were only 2 people working the front and you could feel the stress of being understaffed from them. Definitely recommend just be prepared to a wait a little bit during their dinner rush!

    I'm thinking of trying the restaurant out and I wanted to ask what are the popular dishes there?

    Khan Soi for sure! It's a noodle soup from northern Thailand and theirs is really good - I almost always get it when I go cause it's so good!

    Does anyone have a menu with what items are gluten free? their menus from what I can see dont seem to mention any allergen information on any of the dishes making it impossible for me to tell if any of the dishes would be safe for me to eat.

    Hello Alana. We can make many of our dishes gluten free. Please let the servers know that you’re allergic to gluten. For example, we can omit soy sauce and use rice noodles instead of egg noodle for gluten free option on our noodles dishes. And we…

We arrived hungry and left with very happy tummies and enough food in our bellies to question all of our life choices on the drive home. Had enough leftovers for plenty of meals to miss it just a bit more~ Inside/Outside - 5/5 Rustic Spoon is on the smaller side, but in a good way. It has that cozy neighborhood restaurant feel where you can tell people are coming back again and again. Today was insanely hot so we opted to eat inside. But I'm sure the outside patio is quite nice in more temperate weather. Parking was easier than expected. There is metered parking nearby and additional parking right behind the restaurant, which took away the usual Toluca Lake parking stress. Customer Service - 5/5 Customer service was gr20. Our server was not only attentive but also pretty hilarious. The entire staff seemed genuinely happy to be there and regularly checked in on us throughout the meal. Drinks stayed filled, food arrived quickly, and everyone had a great sense of humor. Good folks all around. Food & Dranks - 5/5 Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly filling. We started with the Papaya Salad, which had a great balance of freshness, crunch, and flavor. It was a perfect way to kick off the meal. To drink, I ordered the Pomegranate Iced Tea which was incredibly refreshing. Not overly sweet and exactly what I wanted on a HOT evening. For the mains, we shared the Pad Thai, Crispy Fried Chicken, and Khow Soi. The Pad Thai was packed with flavor and had plenty of ingredients throughout. The Crispy Fried Chicken lived up to its name with a great crunch while still staying juicy inside. The standout for me was the Khow Soi. Rich, comforting, and loaded with flavor. One of those dishes where you keep saying "just one more bite" until the bowl mysteriously disappears. What really stood out was the portion sizes. Prices initially looked a little higher than some nearby spots, but once the food arrived it all made sense. Plenty of food, fresh ingredients, and enough leftovers to make the value feel well worth it. TL;DR - Overall: 5/5 - Cozy neighborhood spot with a welcoming vibe - Covered patio is probably great to sit when not so hot - Metered parking nearby plus parking behind the restaurant - Funny, attentive, and personable staff - Papaya Salad was fresh and flavorful - Pomegranate Iced Tea was super refreshing - Pad Thai, Crispy Fried Chicken, and Khow Soi were all fantastic -Large portions that justify the price - Good peoples, delicious food, happy tummies - Will definitely be back to explore more of the menu

Followed by the Pad Thai with tofu. All of the Asian dishes were so good. My husband went a different route and ordered the Burrito from their "Little Mexico" section. It comes with minced soy chicken, brown rice, black beans and cashew cheese. He thought it was just okay compared to other items we ordered. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. We noticed their take out was busier than dine in because i counted no less than 8 drivers plus another 3-4 pickup orders came in while we were there. And we were there pretty late.

    Heads up! This is neither bad nor good- but you should know- the Pad Thai recipe has changed…read more Now granted, Pad Thai is known as the dish that will guarantee vary from place to place cause it's street food, right? But there is a key variable- it can either be the browner version or the redder version (Pad Thai fans know what I mean). Anajak (if you're an LA local) is the 'browner' version for context. Authentic Central Thai Pad Thai is actually light golden brown, not red. The natural brown color comes from the caramelization of palm sugar combined with tamarind pulp and fish sauce. Many restaurants- especially in Western countries- use ketchup and paprika and a chili paste as a shortcut to add both sweetness, tang, and bright red color. I can't say that's specifically what happened here- but the grainy grit of the sauce plus the color and sweetness was not the best. Rustic Spoon used to serve the browner version- you'll see it in the photos listed above from as recently as a year ago. I visited recently and discovered they've switched to the redder version. I'm not a fan personally- flavor, texture, etc. But if you love it- that's good news for you- but if you a fan of RS, they changed the recipe about 3 months ago. I switched my order to a Pad See Ew after noticing - and they were gracious and kind about it (which is why I didn't go hard in my stars review)- however the Pad See Ew wasn't flavorful, and lacked Wok Hei, it gave bland rice noodle, steam broccoli and a separately fried (unseasoned egg) thrown together quickly in a wok- no curation of flavors at all. Sigh. I'm not inclined to be a complainer at all, and don't fancy myself a tough customer at all- and compliment as highly and loudly as I critique... But in the age of inflation and local businesses struggling- I am happy to financially support- and just hope they're happy to meet me in the middle with a good meal, made with care and attention. That wasn't the case here. There are a lot of options for Thai in the Valley- I'll have to go elsewhere.
