    55. Spicy Basil
    Steve S.

    I'm always in search of incredible Thai food and I stumbled upon this place and wasn't disappointed . It's a spot with a simple design, around 8 tables and with incredible aura. Something about the vibe made me feel so relaxed, so at home. A kind waiter brought the menu and told me about some of the favorites. I ended up going with Spicy Basil entree with chicken. The chicken was perfectly sautéed, had great savory flavor and was very tender. It was cooked together with basil, carrots slices, onions, green peppers and mushrooms. The brown sauce wasn't overpowering the ingredients. The flavors were well balanced and worked together in harmony for me to get that perfect bite. Honestly, it's one of the best Spicy Basil chicken dishes that I've had in LA. Will definitely come back to try more food!

    Lunch specials: mixed vegetables, kung pao chicken, and panang curry. Also, fried calamari!
    Stephanie U.

    I came here for lunch with my family after visiting our loved ones at the nearby cemetery. My late father's last dish was pad thai, so we wanted to honor his memory, and previous reviews for Spice Up Thai were promising. The ambiance was simple and clean, and we felt very comfortable during our stay. We had fried calamari and the lunch special, which comes with soup, rice, a salad, and fried dumplings. The fried calamari was freshly made and had a great crunch, and the dipping sauce had a nice little kick to it. I chose panang curry with tofu, my brother chose kung pao chicken, and my mother chose the mixed vegetables with chicken. My dish was delicious, and my mom and brother were also very pleased with their meals. The young man who served us was very nice, and service was prompt. Prices are more than reasonable, and the lunch special is, in my opinion, a great deal.

    Steven W.

    Was skeptical at first but the prices for the portions are very reasonable. Flavors were there and service was attentive and had your classic Thai Offerings like Tom Yum, Tom Kha, Pad Thai, and so much more. The combination fried rice was packed with flavor and had chicken, beef, and shrimp. Really good.

    Had a hard time finding this gem but it was worth driving around for a bit until I found them. They have a free lot next door so keep your eyes peeled. We were welcomed and told to sit anywhere upon arrival. Tables were clean and well arranged. We had our order taken quickly and got our food pretty fast. The restroom key is needed for access which is a good sign. Our food was warm and well prepared. I thought it was delicious and almost felt homemade. Service was friendly and efficient. I would go back in a heartbeat. Thanks for a delicious and friendly experience. Portions are big. We had to take leftovers home.

    39. Pad Thai
    Doris R.

    I recently dined at Spice Up Thai and was thoroughly impressed by both the exquisite cuisine and the impeccable service. The menu showcased a variety of thai dishes, blending bold flavors and beautiful presentations. The attentive and knowledgeable server ensured that our meal was a memorable one, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring our satisfaction. Pad thai: 10/10 more than enough was served. Amazing flavors over all. Spicy Basil: 10/10 so many flavor in the thick both love the thai leaves as well. The dumplings for the appetizer and thai Thea to wash it all down. Everything was great I'd definitely recommend this spot!

    Veggie chow mein
    Rashmi V.

    Ahhhhhh jumping up and down with joy!!!! I am so happy this restaurant reopened. This is our go to spot for many years. The owner and cooks are so nice and very accomodating. We would come here weekly when they were located on Chatsworth and Balboa, they had closed down and they have now moved to Mission Hills. The food here is so good, I really enjoy the Tom Kha soup, the chow mein, roti curry, veggie fried rice, I mean they have so much to choose from. The restaurant is clean and we love coming here.

    14. House Salad Tom Yum Noodle Soup

    Some of the best Thai food I've tried in the U.S. - especially the Tom Yum noodle soup was incredibly flavorful with the right amount of acidity. Would come back again

    I'm really happy that I found Spice Up Thai bc there food is pretty delicious Service is great, they're friendly & the music is pretty eclectic which is fun bc I was presently surprised at what was going to play next. My boyfriend & I have gone twice so far & we absolutely love their: - Orange chicken 5/5 - Pad see ew 5/5 - Tom yum soup 5/5 - Tom Kha 5/5 Yellow chicken curry w veggies 3/5 a little watery for me I thought we had gotten their fried wonton's before & my bf reminded me that we ordered them a diff time from a diff place after I had already ordered them 1/5 not enough stuffing for the amount of fried wonton there is

    Walk in & no one is sitting down eating the music is blasting Notorious B.I.G. Walk up to the counter and out comes a man over worked and asked me what I want. Politely tell him I need another two minutes to view the menu. By the way he's also the only one answering phone and running back and forth to the kitchen. I ordered Pad See Ew and Steamed Chicken Dumplings. I have a seat and start noticing that this places is out dated and definitely needs some work. A woman appears from the back and shouts at the man to answer the phone. At first I thought maybe she doesn't speak English since I said hello to her and smiled while she put two drinks at my table I didn't order. She doesn't make eye contact and doesn't say anything back: extremely rude and made me feel awkward. Phone rings again and shouts out to him the phone is ringing and to call the customer back. dumplings 3/5 pad see ew: 3/5 I have been here 3 times and I've had the pad see ew 2 times and I still think they are below average on flavor. I once had the orange chicken and that's incredibly delicious and worth it. The dumplings didn't taste out of this world and I'd never recommend anyone to get them. You lost me as a customer. 06/21/24

    Cute little restaurant, neat and clean. Service is fast and courteous but the food itself is mid-range. Authentic, but flavors are ok. I would recommend as a solid pick for a first time Thai experience. White Rice was a bit dry, costs extra We had Pad Thai, Pineapple Fried Rice, Nam ploy? Beef Salad(served with uncooked cabbage leaf quarter chunk) not really recommended), Chkn satay, Yellow Curry.

    Never get deceived by external appearance, how true this is and especially for this place. We were driving from LA to SFO and it was about time for lunch, we looked up for a thai food place nearby and we saw this place was not too far from freeway, so we added a stop. When we came near the restaurant, the place outside didnt look great but as usual I trusted yelp and went inside this place. The service is quick and we ordered grilled veggies and kung pao chicken. I ordered the iced coffee too. Except for the iced coffee which was way too sweet, everything else tasted so good. The veggies were cooked so well with their sauces and tasted delicious. The side of brown rice was also unique and tasted great. We were glad that we decided to stop here and try this place.

I'm so glad it came up in the search because I've driven past this location so many times and never noticed it! Sylmar's fix is located on a corner where there is a large sign for the Mercado Neighborhood Market on the building. Parking can be really busy in this area and you may have to have a short walk, but I got lucky the sidewalk was empty right next to the store. I would only have to say that the street and sidewalk are pretty dirty with litter so just watch your step. I ordered the Color Me Green Juice and the Chicken Pesto Panini for myself, and the Penne Alfredo Pasta for a friend and took them to go. My Chicken Pesto Panini tasted amazing! The chicken is chopped up into smaller pieces which allows the sauce to be all over inside the sandwich so you get an equal amount of sauce and chicken with every bite. I love the bread it's crunchy but easy to bite into and this sandwich was VERY fulfilling! The Color Me Green Juice is very delicious, freshly made and all I did when I got home was add some ice to make it colder. I was lucky my friend let me have some of the Penne Alfredo Pasta because WOW, that is the creamiest Alfredo pasta I've ever had! That was so warm and tasty! The only problem with this place is that it's on my driving route many days of the week so they might be seeing a whole lot more of me there in the future!!!!!

The produce looked like really great quality and that is actually what convinced me to feel confident enough to try this place! First you walk in and go towards the right corner after the produce. There is a small booth where you order and then they tell you to pay at the cashier in front. After you pay, you trade your receipt copy for your food. Super easy but confusing for first time. They also have korean fried chicken! I def want to come back to try that.

It might help to look at the menu online ahead of time. The place has the industrial aesthetic which we really liked. Before ordering at the counter, the staff let us know there will be about a 50-minute wait. We were fine with it since we weren't in a rush or super hungry yet. So we were pleasantly surprised that our food actually came out much sooner than expected. It felt like a normal wait time you would expect at a sit down restaurant. My son had chicken nuggets and fries, my husband had chicken and waffles with a vanilla frappe, and I had the chorizo con huevo and a michelada. The food was warm and delicious, and it's like they were all made fresh. Portions were also big, so we had leftovers to take home. I thought the prices were a good value for how much food you get. The only thing we thought was overpriced was the $10 large frappe but we will just get something else next time lol. Service was great and the two ladies that helped us were lovely and friendly. They do mention on their website that food can take longer during busy times since it's made fresh, so come with patience. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

We arrived around 10 PM, an entire hour before closing, only to be told that everything would have to be served in to-go boxes. We even spoke with the manager, who explained that the employees need to leave exactly at 11 PM, so they stop serving everything in-house before closing time. If the café is technically open until 11 PM but customers can't actually dine in during the last hour, that should be clearly communicated on Yelp and to customers before they come in. We came specifically to sit down and enjoy crepes with our friends, so being told everything had to go in a to-go box was extremely disappointing. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back.
