Brought out all our food and everything we needed to enjoy our meal. The atmosphere is very laid back and cozy. It had a mom and pop feeling to it. read more

A bit disappointed with our delivery order. Thursday evenings are always busy due to after school activities so we tend to go out or order delivery. It was our first time trying this restaurant and unfortunately, I will not return. We ordered a good amount of food. Yellow curry, pad see ew, pad Thai, dumplings and gyoza. I took the first bite of pad see ew and was immediately turned off. It did not look freshly made. The broccoli color was dull and all were mushy. The dish had a very sour taste. Unsure if reheated or just sitting for awhile. The noodles were mushy as well. The pad Thai had a similar taste so both were thrown out. Money wasted. I did enjoy the gyoza and dumplings. Both became my dinner and kids had Mac and cheese. My husband enjoyed the curry. I haven't seen the restaurant before outside of driving by otw to the gym. It's why we chose to order. Although some of the food was edible, I will not go back. read more

Food was ok and the service was good only thing that was bad for me is it was very hot in the restaurant

My rating is strictly for the dumplings, although I've had a few other items. With the dipping sauce I find them very enjoyable. the guy at the front is always nice and friendly with his broken English lol. read more

Yum! . The young man at the front was busy, but he was still polite and pleasant. He allowed me to sit down with the in-restaurant menu in my car (with my 83-year-old mom. I really appreciated that. I like how they made the green curry with mild heat. The spice level was perfect,and it was perfect. I appreciated that they offer "no spice," for those who can't handle it at all. I asked to steam (vs. typically fried) tofu, and it was silky and delicious!, I get a lot of heat for requesting to omit the MSG because I know without a doubt that it's a migraine-trigger for me (I avoid lots of American food with it too). The guy taking my order didn't miss a beat nor did he give me a judgemental look. The end result was delicious, flavorful, and so satisfying. This is a definite must-stop the next time I'm in the area. read more

This spot was highly recommended and came to check it out. Cozy ambiance casual restaurant. The service was great we were asked to sit wherever we'd like and given menus right away. Appetizer ordered was chicken satay & chicken spring rolls with veggies. The chicken option without pork was good since we have someone that doesn't eat pork in our group. We ordered massaman curry & yellow curry and pad Thai noodles and a small tom yum seafood soup. Everything was very good with an authentic fresh taste. read more

The food was decent but the Thai green tea will be why I go back. It was similar to their tea but not nearly as sweet. I could've just ordered that and been happy. The location was more of a place people would pick up from rather than eat there but it was clean inside and the staff was attentive to us. read more

Came here cause it was the closest thai spot with good reviews. It's literally the only eatery in the middle of residential homes& 2 businesses. We were seated pretty quickly. Tell me when you guys find the cat I don't know if they forgot about us for a second or they got a big togo order but we sat there for a little. But not too long. After that, the food came out pretty fast. We tried the chicken "fried spring roll", beef pad see ew, &the signature spaghetti pad kee mow (they only had a seafood protein option). The entrees came hotter than the eggrolls, but they pretty much came out at the same time. The eggrolls were nice&crunchy but had a bit too much cabbage for my liking. The spaghetti did taste like drunken noodles but more on the sweeter side. They were generous with the protein especially with the fish. I forgot we got mango sticky rice too! It was as expected, drenched in the milk, but the mango&rice portion was pretty much spot on. I really ate that all up by myself. read more

Their food is so good!!! The pad Thai is packed with flavor. Cashier was spot on with service and got my food within 10 minutes. The cook said bye to me and said enjoy my food (aaaawwww!!) the sticky mango rice is so good, the mango was ripe and the rice was warm. The winter shrimp was hot and crispy and the sauce was also flavorful. They have plenty of parking and plenty of chairs available but I usually get my food to go. read more

What a delightful find in Spring Valley! My husband and I tried Little Thai Kitchen this evening and were happy we did. We ordered a few different things. We especially enjoyed the chicken gyozas which came with a savory soy sauce. We also liked the Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, and stir-fried vegetables. The mild heat was very mild - we may try medium next time. We came home with lots of food to be able to make lunches for the rest of the week, which made this meal very cost efficient. We will definitely be returning! read more

I ordered through Grub Hub so this is just my review based on food and how it was packaged. I ordered only 2 items; spicy chicken Thai fried rice and seafood salad. First off they need a few lessons on how to properly package! My fried rice came in those secure reusable container. My seafood salad that HAS SAUCE came in a plastic biodegradable container that was bigger that also had aluminum foil underneath the food. This is my rant. Why would you put the bigger container on top of the smaller container?! Not only that but why would you put a container that cannot properly close that HAS LIQUID ON TOP of a smaller container so it could spill?! Which it did and the whole bag was a mess. The fried rice was okay and nothing special. It was soggy in some parts. The seafood salad was good. It had a lot of good seafood and I really like the fried fish included. It also included more sauce which I don't understand why they didn't just package the whole sauce up like that. I ordered the spiciest level for both and I like how they added extra dried pepper flakes for me. read more

Took two of my young adult kiddos here for lunch. I didn't realize this was the place some of my family members frequent when they are craving Thai food. We started off with Thai tea and I chose the Green Thai tea. It was really good compared to the regular Thai tea. We started off with the Spring Rolls Vegetable -ground chicken, glass noodle, cabbage, taro and carrot served with plum sauce. These were nice, hot and crispy! Som Tum (Papaya salad) Shredded green papaya mixed with Thai chili, carrot, tomato, green bean, garlic, lime juice and peanut It was unique as I've never ordered that before. I actually liked it. Pad Thai with tofu Stir fried thin rice noodle, bean sprout, scallion, egg and ground peanut. My favorite go to on the menu Panang Curry Red & green bell pepper, onion, and lime leaf with coconut milk. Very flavorful and tasty. Mango Sticky Rice The best dessert to enjoy. My experience here was nice. The food is good here and price is reasonable. read more

I'm a sucker for quaint establishments that have a kid doing homework in the corner. They make you feel like you've been invited into a home. This place gives that vibe. The lunch prices are affordable and the quantity is plentiful. I've had their Pad See Ewe and their Drunken Noodles. They add on the side and you feel like taking a nap soon after. So good! read more

Sister-in-law visiting from Colorado wanted to go back to this place after having dinner with a friend the day before. So we checked it out & took a few family members with us. It's a small place with a good signage from the street so you can't miss it. Upon walking in there's a few tables, not very big. Thankfully, they were able to accommodate our party of 6. The servers were very friendly, a young lady (I didn't get her name) initially took our order then Xavier helped us the rest of the time. He was very personable and funny. We ordered Drunken Noodles, Pad Thai, Panang & Green Curries and had Calamari & Fried Tofu for appetizers. For dessert, we had Sweet Rice w/ Coconut ice cream & Mango sticky rice. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed the dishes, even though the spice level could be more accurate. My 1/10 spice level preference tasted more like a 3. But we know that levels depend on the subjective taste of the cook. So next time I'll have none. Otherwise, we all agreed that every dish was full flavored, vegetables were crisp, proteins were cooked well, & noodles had a good bite. Calamari was indeed crispy with a good dipping sauce and the tofu was lightly fried that gave it a good texture. As far as the desserts, the sweet rice was cooked well, mango was sweet & coconut ice cream was delicious. Overall, it's a good place for Thai food. The food is really good as well as the price and portions. However, what's lacking is the efficiency of service. The dishes were served at different times which made it awkward to eat so waiting for everyone's dishes to come while other's food was sitting getting cold. And mind you, this was more than a few minutes of waiting between dishes to come out. And no utensils were given before or with the dishes, we had to ask for them. We asked for napkins and he gave us small plates with a napkin wedged between each one. Then we ordered the desserts to share. Again, awkward as only one dessert came out at a time. Waiting more than a few minutes in between. So 6 people taking a spoonful of one dessert before the ice cream melted was not cool. In summary, this place is better for smaller parties and for take-out. read more

Went for dinner on a Friday night, was not too busy and the waiter was attentive. Got tofu for the protein and it was tasty, not dry. Didn't have a chance to say a spice level, but the pad see ew had a good flavor. read more

Does delivery count? After a very long day, I decided I needed something quick and simple, but tasty and filling. I resorted to my days in the cold Boston ice and snow and decided I would order in, but keep it local. I found Little Thai Kitchen just around the corner so I made the call. The order arrived on time, hot and ready to consume - but the Drunken Noodles with Chicken and Pork simply lacked flavor. It was there...but you had to go searching for it. A side of Cream Cheese Wonton had light and fluffy shells, but the expedition for the cream cheese began after the first bite. Paired with the included sauce, the wontons came to life. Concerning that as I write this, to the right of my screen are no less than four Elite Squad Members rating a perfect 5...but then as I dive in I notice some of these date back to 2021 which would explain why my experience was vastly different. To be fair, at some point I will retry my experience with a drop in visit - but will definitely not be ordering from Little Thai Kitchen again. read more

This placed used to be better. I will never come back to this place after finding a bug/insect on my food! I was so grossed out! I saw the legs and wings of that insect! I was barely starting to eat my food and left almost everything! I told the waitress about the situation and she offered to remake the plate or get something else but I lost my appetite plus I had questions about their food handling. To make things worse they still charged us for it and didn't take it off the bill! The audacity! I really question their food handling and I just saw they had a number of health violations. Maybe the Health Dept should check this place out because it's not trustworthy imo. read more

Very disappointed, lucky to even rate this 1 out of 5 stars. Worse Tom Kha I ever had. Very watery, no coconut milk flavor (it says coconut milk on the menu for this item), you can tell the shrimp is not fresh (frozen shrimp), very bland. Don't waste your time ordering this. $13.95 + $3.00 (small white rice) Total price $18.26 read more

I really wanted to like this place. First, let me start by saying that Thai food is my favorite cuisine. I was so excited when I discovered this little restaurant very close to my home. I was hoping that this was going to be my to go spot for yummy and close Thai food. I imagined being able to eat there on a weekly basis. Let me start with the pros : - Easy to find location - Easy parking - Good and attentive service - Wide menu options. - Good appetizers - Generous portions The cons : - immediately upon the first bite of the pad Thai the strong fishy taste was apparent. Now I understand that this classic recipe contains fish sauce, which I have never had a problem with it in the past, but the fishy taste was so strong on my vegetable pad Thai that it was surprising and not in a good way. - the Pad Thai was so watery and soupy that it felt like they just poured the sauce out of a jar. We ate about a third of the portion and that is very unusual that we did not finish the plate. - the panang curry was also so watery that my boyfriend splattered his shirt with it because it was like a bowl of tinted water. The flavor was faint and not at all what I would expect from a Thai curry. In the end, I am glad I tried it, but unfortunately, I don't think I'll return . read more

I will keep it simple so you understand it, very nice people that work there. But as far as food quality NO means F*** NO.. I ordered the curry chicken and the meat cuts were similar to floss strings very thin, the flavor was bland... i want to try other dishes so i can be fair but no thanx if one dish disappointed me im sure the others will as well. I was fair with my rating as i did not immediately gave 1 like other people do. Be nice and fair they still have to make a living.. good day read more

We stumbled upon this spot while browsing Yelp for Thai food and craving Pad Thai. With over 4 stars, we decided to give it a try -- and we're so glad we did! The location is a bit unexpected -- tucked away in a lot that looks more like a storage complex than a restaurant hub -- but don't let that fool you. It's the only food place there, and it's a true hidden gem. We were warmly greeted by a friendly young woman who made us feel welcome right away. I ordered the Pad Thai (spice level 5), and my husband got the Pad See Ew and egg rolls. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced with just the right kick and a nice tang from the tamarind. The Pad See Ew was rich with umami flavor, and everything was still piping hot when we got home. Portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. We'll definitely be coming back soon -- the Chicken Larb is next on our list! read more

Today we tried the Som Tum (papaya salad), Drunken Noodles with Beef, Panang Curry with Chicken, and Tom Kha with Tofu. Spice ranges were from 6-7 and it was a perfect level for us. Everything was really good; the Tom Kha had a very tasty broth and had the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Surprisingly the meats in the noodles and curry were not dry at all. I find that to be the case with other Thai restaurants. The service was very good and attentive. We will definitely be back! read more
