Food was amazing and the service was even better! The waiter and cooks are extremely patient and sweet even during a rush. The food was comforting and so was the environment. Would totally visit again sometime! read more

What. A. Find!!!!! We ordered two Khao Sois and both were so spectacular. The fried soft shell crab is so perfectly crabby and so perfectly battered and fried. And the Braised Beef was melt-in-your-actual-mouth tender. We planned to get the mango sticky rice sundae but we were absolutely stuffed. Pro tip: put in all the extras that come with the soup. The red onions give it a great spicy crunch, and the mustard greens are nice and tangy which pair well with the lime they give you the option to drench the soup in (do it). They even have extra fried chili flakes to make it more spicy, but I didn't need to add that. We will def be back next time to try more Khao Soi proteins and more items on the menu. The place is small, very mom and pop. Probably 7 tables of 4? We went at lunch and there was no line. The waitress was sweet and everything came out pretty fast! Compliments to the chef!! We love that we don't have to go all the way to Irvine to get good Khao Soi now! IYKYK... read more

Just moved into the area and decided to give them a shot, and it was absolutely incredible. My partner and I got the Larb (which is northern style here), Pad See Ew, and the Khao Soi with Crispy Pork. Without a doubt, this is the best Khoa Soi I've had outside of Chiang Mai and Thailand in general. Absolutely incredible flavor, just like I remember it. Everything else was excellent, and the servers are so nice here! We also got Thai Iced Tea and Green Thai Iced Tea, it was our first time trying the green one, and it was really good! Hard to beat original Thai iced tea, but it was a great alternative. The inside of the restaurant was spotless and super clean. All the food and drinks were truly amazing, and I'm so happy to have an amazing Thai restaurant so close to where I live! read more

Hole in the wall my boyfriend found close to universal studios. My mom and I had no expectations going in, because it was a "surprise" from my boyfriend. Vibes were there. Super cute, cozy, homey feels. I liked their open concept kitchen, where you can see them cook your food while you wait. It was a little cold but I mean not a big deal, it would've helped if maybe I wasn't wearing a tank top at 10pm Like I said we were pleasantly surprised about the food. It's like Japanese-Thai fusion. Not many options of food. Pretty much the same curry noodle dish with different protein options. I can now see way because it was good. I just wished someone had given an intro or something on how to eat it, because it wasn't until I was 3/4 done with the dish to where I was being adventurous and added the stuff on the side and wow did it make a difference. Another thing was I personally wasn't a fan of the fired noodles. When it got mixed in the broth with the non-fried noodles it got confusing when I would eat because the fried noodles started tasting just like hard uncooked noodles. Also, the katsu chicken was just ok. Not to bring it up again but I don't know if it was because the restaurant was cold but the food was just lukewarm. When I associate "soup noodle" dishes, I feel like it is meant to be piping hot. But I mean... you know how the saying goes... like a fatty I devoured it all. The dessert was delicious, it was the mango sticky rice. So if I could I would give it a 3.5 because it's average but a little more than average due to its unique fusion menu. However, when I really think about it overall it was just ok. I'd be willing to try again, it could just be that day it was off? read more

Reading that they were originally from Wat Thai meant that it had to be legit. Came for dinner last night and they have such a wide variety of khao soi with different meats. I actually don't even know if they have a regular chicken option but it comes on a tray with condiments. The tray actually was kind of annoying but cool presentation I guess. Not a khao soi connoisseur but I love a curry coconut flavor. The noodles were chewy and it still had the crispy bits. For around $20 to $25, it is a decent portion. I would like a stronger curry flavor but I just love over-spiced foods. We also got the sausage appetizer and it felt a bit dry and it needed more fat in it. Service was decent but felt she was a bit slow and overwhelmed with just a few tables but still ok overall. Good overall but I feel there could be stiff competition around the Hollywood area. read more

Came here after a Universal Studios and was so happy we stumbled upon this restaurant. We had a big party of 8 and our server was attentive! We ordered everything from the fried rice, pad thai, pad se ew, and I opted for the Crispy Chicken Khao Soi The flavor on each dish was delicious and we had to order for to go as well! Our server informed us they have been open for about ~5 months and I hope to see more people discover this restaurant. The space is cozy, with just a handful of tables, and an open kitchen, providing a comforting feeling and aroma of spices of garlic, basil, etc. read more

We were looking for Thai and randomly found this place on yelp, late night after a show. BEST spot to wander into! Great family owned restaurant with warm and friendly vibes, and fantastic food! I got the khao soi with crispy chicken, which I was told by Sebastian is their specialty. Incredibly rich "soup" curry and noodles with great chewy texture. I've never had a dish quite like this. I ordered it with fresh coconut water which came inside a real coconut, and nibbled on the coconut meat as a dessert, which was so refreshing and delicious. The sweetness really went great with the khao soi. Can't wait to go back! read more

I've been a fan of this place since they were selling at events, so when I heard they opened a physical storefront, I came to try it right away, and I wasn't disappointed at all. The Khao Soi tastes just as good as before, and the crispy pork belly was perfectly fried and super crispy. I also love that they now have a wider variety of menu options. The papaya salad was delicious as well. There's limited free parking in front of the shop, and we were lucky enough to get a spot. read more

Only a first visit, but everything was quite delicious! The specialty is the Khao Soi, which we all got with the crispy chicken. A bit like a Katsu chicken cutlet in a curry bowl with ramen noodles. Then on the side, red onions, pickled greens and chili crisp. Fantastic comfort food which you can customize to your heat level of spice. Also tried the pork meatballs and the papaya salad. All very good. They are not just churning out the standard American/Thai fare here. This feels very based in regional Thai food. Will definitely be back. read more

firstly i'd like to say, that i'm very picky with food especially thai food, but holy smokes this place is so damn good it has become a go to spot not only for me but my mom as well, she says "it makes her feel like she back in thailand. not only is the food good but service is absolutely on point, food came very fast and the workers were twice as fast, honestly for a small restaurant it is very cozy, I also love the open kitchen layout, it gives you a look into how thai food is made, and honestly it's pretty cool read more

We tried Saoha Khao Soi for the first time and had a nice meal. We ordered the chicken satay, papaya salad, shrimp pad thai, and the crispy chicken khao soi. The standout dishes were definitely the satay -- really juicy and flavorful -- and their khao soi, which had depth without feeling too heavy. Service was friendly, though they seemed a bit understaffed and were out of a few proteins (they substituted shrimp tempura for the shrimp). Our baby was able to sit in a high chair and dine comfortably, which we appreciated. Parking is tough since the lot is really small. Wishing them well -- welcome to the neighborhood! read more

The food was so excellent. I have quite a bit of Thai food but never this dish, Khao Soi which is their specialty. I ordered the crispy chicken Khao Soi and wow was that chicken perfectly crispy. Also, the broth was over the top rich and flavorful. What a wonderful dish of food. Also price wise so reasonable. Will definitely be back. A new favorite spot. read more

Amazing / BEST khao soi in Los Angeles. It is a family owned khao soi place that the owner was super friendly and welcoming. I visited multiple thai places for good khao soi (curry noodle) and I would say this is the BEST one in LA. Open kitchen so you know they are making food fresh and clean. I got braised bedf khao soi. Soup was super creamy and curry. Beef was tender and noodle balance was very good. My favorite was their pork khao soi. Definitely going back! read more

This might be the first time I tried khao soi. It's delicious. Basically Thai yellow curry soup with noodles, and a little heat. I got the braised beef but maybe I should have tried the wagyu. The crispy chicken looked good as well. The chicken satay was fine. I liked the butterfly pea lemonade! The only thing is, I didn't realize that this place was about ten- fifteen minutes away from the actual Thai town in Hollywood. This was definitely more Lankershim/North Hollywood area by Universal Studios. So a little kind of out of the way. read more

Came here after a day at Universal Studios. We were definitely tired of overpriced and greasy American food and wanted some noodles/rice. This was the closest Asian restaurant (that is not at CityWalk) that we could find. This place hit the spot. We were surprised how empty it was considering we left the theme park at closing. The restaurant is super small, but the staff was friendly and accomadating. They setup a table for 6 and we got straight to ordering. We tried their Kaho Soi Braised Beef, Stir Fried Khao Soi Crispy Pork, A5 Wagyu Beef Khao Soi Soup, Gyoza, Crying Tiger and Pad See Ew w/ Chicken. The family inhaled the food. Everything was beautifully presented and was a fair price. The noodle dishes were just variations of each other, but I really enjoyed my stir fried noodles. Since everyone ate well, we decided to splurge and ended the night with two orders of mango sticky rice. Everything was outstanding. Will be back. read more

My partner and I tried Saoha Khao Soi. We ordered the fried chicken stir fry khao soi, crab fried rice, and mango sticky rice. I thought the stir fry was a creative take on the khao soi. The execution can use a little improvement, we thought the noodle was a little too soft so if you get a protein that wasn't crispy the soft texture will be too much. The flavor curry flavor wasn't as strong as we would like. My partner felt that the dish was a little sweet-I thought the sweetness level was fine. The crab rice was good, very strong crab flavor :) The mango sticky rice was great-it was just the right level of sweetness. They recently opened so they are still getting into their grove. I plan to come back and try the traditional Khao Soi. The parking lot isn't that big so just a heads up. The staff was great and very friendly. read more

What a great find! After a few drinks at the bar in this strip, we asked for a nearby dinner recommendation. I am so glad we did. This was such a wonderful meal... a family business. the owner shared that they opened the restaurant to share their recipes from their home in Northern Thailand. The employees were all very welcoming and every dish we had was delicious! We ate family style (nobody wanted to miss out on any of it!) and there were no complaints from anyone. I absolutely will be back next time I am in the area. read more

We went to Universal Studios for the day and wanted to grab dinner after. We found this place on Yelp and decided to try this. We got there right on time before they closed the kitchen. The food was AMAZING! I've had a lot of Khao Soi in my life and a lot of them are very heavy but this one was flavorful and light! We loved it! We had the crispy chicken and braised beef Khao Soi. The ambience inside was really nice and warm and cozy! We met the owner Bill and he was very nice and friendly. We told him how much we loved the food! He also gave us some sweet watermelon after for dessert on the house! Thank you so much! We will definitely be coming back! read more

Good friends of ours were feeling Thai that night and recommended this place. Appetizers were satay and squid karage while our friends got a butterfly lemonade and Thai tea. I ordered the Pad See Ew with fried pork, while the rest of my party ordered a a soup, pad Thai, and rice and broccoli dish. I definitely liked adding chili flakes and oil to my pad see ew. All of us loved everything! The service was friendly and fast. Their cook was very friendly too. Ambiance was very cozy and had a very mom and pop feel to it (it is family owned). Felt pretty cool to see them prepare the food right next to our table since the kitchen/serving window was right next to our table. Seeing them dress the plates and prepare the fried pork definitely made our mouths water. We will definitely come back. Our friends mentioned how packed it can get with the seating so book a seat when you can! read more

Delicious khao soi! It takes me back to Chang Mai and you can't go wrong with any dish. Don't wait. Run and enjoy!

The food was good, but this is definitely a place we would never ever come back to. The restaurant is not very big but this table next to us was sooooo loud and the whole back end of the restaurant echoed that we ate with ear buds in and got out of there as fast as we possibly could. I wanted to try mango sticky rice but didn't even make It that far. Ate out food but definitely did not enjoy it. I think it's definitely something the staff could have done especially since we did tell the staff. read more

Some of the most authentic Thai food you'll find! These guys have been cooking Thai food all over LA, and now they finally have their own spot here close to home!

The servers here are wonderful; it's a family-run business, and they really care! It's all smiles and love for what they do! Let's not forget their fried rice! Perfectly cooked chicken, served on a flavorful bed of rice. Not too oily but just right. The ambiance here is so warm and welcoming in highly recommend Khao Soi for amazing Thai food that is a authentic. read more

Saoha Khao Soi Thai Cuisine: Studio City's Must-Try Thai Spot Studio City locals, get ready to add a new favorite to your list: Saoha Khao Soi Thai Cuisine. You can find this new, family-owned spot in a small, convenient strip mall right off Cahuenga Blvd W. They specialize in the rich, delicious flavors of Northern Thai cuisine, and honestly, they are already nailing it. I visited them just to pick up a to-go order on only their second night open, right before their official soft opening this weekend. I ended up chatting with the family behind the counter for about ten minutes, and they were so genuinely kind and welcoming. They explained their goal is to bring more attention to Northern Thai cuisine in our neighborhood. The combination of their super good food and their heartfelt service makes this place an instant win. The Northern Thai Must-Order: Crispy Pork Khao Soi The main reason to come here is the Khao Soi, and specifically, the Crispy Pork Khao Soi. This dish is a serious flavor bomb. The rich, creamy coconut curry broth was perfectly balanced--savory, a little sweet, and with a great level of spice. The noodles were soft and delicious, topped with a generous piece of crispy pork. The crispy pork skin was super crunchy and tasted amazing with the creamy curry broth. It's absolutely a must-try dish. A Perfect Classic: Chicken Pad See Ew They also do the classic dishes really well, like the Chicken Pad See Ew. The wide, chewy rice noodles were cooked perfectly--dark and savory with that great smoky flavor you want from the wok. The chicken was tender and the vegetables still had a nice bite. It was just delicious and satisfying--a perfect comfort meal right at my kitchen table. A Local Essential: Find Them at Wat Thai Market I simply can't recommend this place enough. They are truly good people making fantastic food, and I wish them all the success in the world! For those of us in the Studio City/Universal City neighborhood, having this level of food and dedication so close is a gift. Pro Tip for Fans: If you're looking for more ways to sample their incredible food, the Saoha team also serves at the popular Wat Thai Temple Market (8225 Coldwater Canyon Ave) every Saturday and Sunday. Go visit them and support this wonderful new local business! read more
