    Pad sew
    Vee P.

    I just realized that I never made a review for Ras Noodle, I love this restaurant and had been coming here forever. My top two favorite dishes here are the Doo Dee noodles and the shrimp pad sew. I've tried the majority of their dishes over the years and everything is great! The dishes with wok char, like the fried rice and noodles, always have the perfect amount of flavor and aroma. I can only get mild spicy here because their spice level is true Thai spice and medium is not obtainable for me lol The service is always friendly and efficient, no frills but always clean. I love their green chili in vinegar condiment. Parking lot is shared, small, and the spots are tight but doable.

    What an amazing hidden gem. Happy that I found it. Soups are amazing, topping and noodle choice is great. Friendly service as well.

    Boat noodle (thin rice noodle)
    Katherine P.

    Everything we ordered was packed with sooo much flavor. We ordered the boat noodle soup, duck noodle soup, tom yum noodle soup, and broccoli and deep fried pork over rice. We ordered some items medium and some mild. I can take some heat but not much. The medium spice was definitely too hot for me. Even though my mouth was on fire, my taste buds were still loving the flavors of everything. The broth for all the soups had so much flavor. You have a choice of 4 different kinds of noodles : egg noodle, flat thick noodle, pho rice noodle and thin rice noodle. Boat noodle and duck noodle were my favs out of the soups that we ordered. The pork in the broccoli and deep fried pork was so crispy and the sauce added such a nice touch of flavor. I would definitely order that again. The restaurant is pretty small but we ordered to go and our food was ready when we got there.

    Do dee noodle (#5), dry version
    Lana T.

    I've been coming here about 2x monthly when I work in the area. I LOVE their yen ta fo. It's the best I've had in the LA area compared to the top Thai restaurants in Thai Town. Their broth is so garlicky, sweet, sour, spicy, and delicious. Service is good. Ambiance is casual. I love how their soups are consistently made and delicious.

    Thai tea

    The best ! All the food is great & staff is so nice. Never disappoints. I usually get the pad Thai & shrimp fried rice or chicken fried rice. As well the duck noodle soup. Fire! My kids favorite is their tai tea tried so many but nothing beats this one

    Ambiance was amazing per usual . Been coming here since I was little . And it has not changed one bit , food comes out quick , hot and flavorful , the service was good , they're always on top of it . Hole in the wall Thai restaurant, but it is probably one of the best in the valley by far ! We ordered the basil over rice with a fried egg ! And that had so much flavor , definitely recommend , the doo Dee noodles were also very delicious , the meats on there are impeccable. Fried rice and chow mein always smack too .. as well as the garlic pepper chicken . Everything was delicious and I definitely recommend , whether it's a quick bite , or even bringing your family , only downfall is its a little small , but that's not too big of an issue . Keep up the good work and this place is definitely worth everything

    Roast duck over rice :)

    Amazing hole in the wall in the valley:) it's located in a tiny plaza but dw plenty of seating inside so u can order to go or dine in We got Thai sausage , roast duck over rice w gravy, and the boat noodle medium spice (beware med spice is pretty spicy esp if ur white!) everything was amazing. Love the extensive and authentic menu selection. Only thing is I wish they gave me some more duck but ik economy is tough rn.. Plus the total for everything was only $42!!!!! Service was quick & efficient ! Nothing crazy but they are extremely attentive and refilled our waters twice as well as delivering food freakishly fast. 10/10 will def be back and u should too :)

    Thai boat noodles with egg noodles.

    Much like on previous visits, everything was excellent t. In fact it the Boat Noodles were even better than ever. The papaya salad was the perfect amount of spice

    Tom yum noodle soup  Duck noodle soup
    Sharon K.

    We initially came in to get the mango sticky rice but ended up coming back for dinner because we were so charmed by this small business. The mango sticky rice is famous for being so good and the portion and taste was great. For dinner we got the tom yum noodle soup and the duck noodle soup. We ordered mild but as expected from a Thai restaurant the mild was full of flavor and more spice than mild but it was so good I couldn't stop eating even though my sinuses were sweating. The ladies that run this shop were full of smiles and although they don't talk much it was such a comforting environment. We will be back! This is a solid mom and pop that deserves your support.

    I think this was the number three clear broth. I took had it with chicken
    Sara H.

    Tried this spot on Thursday and it was really bad weather which was perfect for soup and this is a clear broth. It comes with other choices, but I did the chicken it just hit the spot they ask you what kind of temperature you want when it comes to the heat, I said mild typically sometimes in most cases where you have a soup or Roman or some pho, you are adding stuff to it and let me tell you this little place is a dime of Deliciousness

    Tom Yum Noodle soup
    Lloyd B.

    The food is okay. Something different but definitely not as good as I remember. I've been here many times and I'll usually get the Tom Yum noodle soup with ground pork and slices of bbq pork. Another good dish is the pad kra pow or Thai basil chicken. Get that with a fried egg on top. After quarantining for so long I decided to try this place again and order a not so usual dish for me - the roasted duck over rice. Served over a bed of rice and gai lan (Chinese broccoli), the roasted duck looked good. It was served with a cup of broth and a sweeter dipping sauce for the duck. The sauce is what makes or breaks this dish and it was just too gooey sweet for my taste. Meh. Should've stuck to a noodle dish. The noodles are their bread and butter so if you do come, definitely order any bowl of noodles rather than a rice dish. At least you can dine inside now...maskless!

    Bland watery pad Thai.  Not good English ugh to eat.  I had to send it back.  Small portion broken noodles.

The regular menu is quite expensive with the cheapest at $17 for appetizer and salad options and most expensive at a whooping $80. The lunch menu was more affordable but still on the pricey side $21-$32 with add on options. The waitress was taking our orders and what surprised me was with my co-worker ordered the pad see ew and the waitress asked her how spicy she wants it. I was aw shocked. I'm not a Thai food expert but I do know pad see ew is a noodles dish that's offers a sweet soy sauce flavor. Never served spicy. I didn't get to try the dish but when I asked my co worker how it taste she said it was spicy and not sweet at all. I'm not sure that was an authentic pad see ew. I ordered from the lunch menu and got the tumeric chicken, with steamed vegetables and paid extra $7 to substitute for a papaya salad. I asked for #2 spice level but it was not spicy at all. Other co workers said they asked for medium but it was way too spicy. So it looks like their spicy levels are inconsistent. I'm not sure how this restaurant can justify the prices with the quality they are serving. Probably won't be back. Service was mediocre. Didn't offer to refill our waters. Parking is metered parking or paid lot.

I felt like I came to eat and my mom's house. They take Debit Card and Apple Pay WITH a pin only. I forgot my wallet and paid with Apple Pay. It did not have a place for tip which made me feel awful. At the end I apologized and she was like "it's ok, next time." And she was genuinely fine with it. She reassured me not to worry about it. So I'm determined to come back to tip her because if anybody deserved a tip it was her. I ordered Pad Thai with tofu- I like to order peanut sauce on the side and the woman found it interesting and struck a non judgmental conversion about it. I could really tell she was genuinely curious. This was my favorite dish. It was good. I also ordered spicy fried rice with tofu and spicy panang curry with vegetables. I chose 4 out of a 6 for spicy and it was not spicy at all for me. The rice was fine, nothing extraordinary and nothing bad. The panang curry was yummy. I don't know if it's regional but it was very light in taste and light in thickness. BUT I enjoyed it for what it was. Felt like I had gotten home made chicken soup or something like that comforting and not overly processed. Maybe it's because I ordered it with no protein and just vegetables. I ordered a lot of food so I explained to her that I was going to eat some and take the rest to go. When she brought the food she brought it nicely packed without a bag. She also brought me a real plate and utensils to eat here. She let me know that when I was ready she'd bring a bag which I thought was thoughtful. She also made sure to say "take your time, no need to rush. We close at 8" and it was 5pm. Again, it felt genuinely nurturing, she wanted to make sure I felt taken care of and welcomed. It meant a lot because I was frazzled from forgetting my wallet and from having a hard day at work. This was my first time here and it won't be my last. There is a small lot on site. Prices were very reasonable.

I have written at least 2 glowing reviews of the restaurant in the past and wish this could be one of them, but it's not. Over the last 4-5 days I have tried no less than 2 dozen times to call the restaurant during proper business hours to order food for pick-up as I often do. The phone rang and rang to no avail. I live too far from the restaurant to just pop up and place an order so I rely on calling ahead. I have been a customer of this restaurant for at least the last 9 years and have almost never had the aforementioned experience. Though I do recall not being able to get a call through several times on one or two occasions in the relatively distant past. Today I was finally able to get a call through and began placing my order which includes shrimp. I ALWAYS request the tail (with shells) to be removed from the shrimp as I find it quite difficult to enjoy my meal if I'm constantly having to pick off shells with my hands. It's unsanitary and messy. Removing the tails from 15-20 shrimp prior to adding to an entree or soup should take no more than 60 seconds and that's if one is moving at a glacial pace. However, today I was told that the kitchen was too busy to honor my request. I assured the lady taking my order than I was a loyal customer and make this request will every order I place and it is always honored. She repeated her claim that the kitchen was too busy and refused to do it. I cancelled my order and ended the call. Now I usually order food from the restaurant 4-5 times a month and usually spend about $65 each time not including tip. That is approximately $325 per month of my hard earned money that I give to this restaurant in exchange for great food and service. I am appalled and quite upset that having been a loyal customer for almost a decade and spending as much money there as I do per month that they could at least honor my patronage by simply taking an additional 60 seconds in the kitchen to make my meal more enjoyable. Her refusal to do such a minuscule task has deeply soured my experience with Hoy-Ka not to mention the fact that I could not reach the restaurant for almost a week by phone for no apparent reason. I will not be going back to this restaurant until they rectify this situation.

Each time I've come the waitstaff has been super friendly, and the food amazing. So, when planning a little birthday lunch for my mom's 81st birthday, this was one of the first places I thought of. My mom lives in south LA and we live in the valley, so after picking her up, we wouldn't have to travel far to eat. Although we planned to arrive to the restaurant at 2, traffic was horrible and we arrived at 230pm. After looking for parking, I dropped the fam off at 2:40 so they could sit and look at the menu while I found parking. I get a text from my husband saying they closed at 3 so hurry. This was news to me, as I thought they closed at 5. I found parking and rushed in at 2:48, to see my family outside the restaurant. Perplexed, I went in to ask if we could still eat, as it wasn't yet 3pm. No wait staff came to the front to greet me, so I walked in a bit and asked the waiter if it was okay to eat. The waiter said we close in ten. I said I thought the website said you closed at 5. I must have read it wrong. I understand, but it's not 3 and we came a bit of a distance and it's my mom's 81st birthday. The waiter, whose name is Jack, offered to ask the kitchen if they would still make food. I said yes please would you ask? While Jack was asking, another waiter asked me if I had been helped. I told him yes, that Jack was asking the kitchen if we could still have lunch. This waiter says, we're closing in 10. I'd like to have lunch too. And walks away. Yes, with shade. Jack returns and says it's fine as long as we can order within a few minutes of getting the menu. I say great and we all come in. The 2nd waiter takes our order with the least amount of personality he possibly can, and the whole lunch is slightly awkward and we're not able to truly enjoy ourselves with the feeling of "we better hurry up and eat" lingering. By the time we ordered and received our food (which was delicious as usual) , there were still 4 other groups of customers there, and we actually left the restaurant within a minute or two after the last customers before us. Also, no one came around to ask how our food was and if we needed anything. I'm giving 3 stars because this experience didn't quite sit right with me. Yes, it was near closing, but your doors weren't closed and there was no sign saying last call/order at 2:45 or anything like that. I feel like once the kitchen approved making our lunch, customer service should have been at its peak for paying customers, who gave no attitude and tried to be as polite with the ask as possible. It was not. I still tipped 25%, because Jack (waiter 1) was polite and my 81 old mama who I was celebrating raised me that way, but I'm not sure I'll patronize them again.

The Pad Thai was the best I've had outside of Thailand. Extremely well balanced, not too sweet, not too tangy, not drowning in sauce, just perfectly done with great noodle texture and loaded with shrimp. The Pad Kee Mao was so flavorful. Smoky, spicy, full of flavor, and had that proper "wok hei" char that makes noodles addictive. The Pad See Ew was equally rich and savory, and deeply satisfying. We also got the turnip omelette (Kai Jeow with preserved radish) and it blew my mind, honestly. It is so simple, but packed with flavor. Somehow one of the best egg dishes I've ever had. The morning glory with pork was another standout, super fresh, garlicky, and cooked perfectly. Everything came out hot, portions were generous, and the whole table went silent because the food is too good to talk through lol. On top of that, the servers were super nice, friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better despite how busy it was :) Packed restaurant, amazing energy, AMAZING food.

We got the raw shrimp salad, spicy catfish and bbq pork over rice. The raw shrimp "salad" is probably the best thing we've ate, but the chili sauce was over powering and couldn't really taste the freshness of the shrimp. And I feel like there could've been saw garlic to go along with it, but nope, just decorative cabbages that is not edible. As for the bbq pork over rice, the sausage was good and the crispy pork too. But the BBQ pork itself was HORRIBLE I literally spit it out. It tasted like old refrigerated dry meat, barely edible. And then the spicy catfish, the portion was so small, it looked like someone ate half of it. The pieces very tiny and it was so dry it tasted like it was refried. The spicy sauce didn't help much. And I overheard the table next to us waited around 30 mins for their dishes. Overall, I'll not be coming back here. There are much better Thai spots than this. Not to mention the parking is horrible as it was valet only on a Saturday.
