This is my favorite Thai place in Burbank. I went last week for lunch with a friend, and it was amazing! We had their Northern Thai sausage as an appetizer, and we shared our entrees - the Pad Kee Mau and the orange chicken lunch special which comes with a small salad with peanut dressing and rice and a spring roll. The flavors married perfectly together, and I'm now craving more as I write this. I'm excited to go back and try other items on their menu. Their passion fruit iced tea was also very good, and they have beer to order as well. The staff was super friendly and VERY attentive. Overall, it was just a really good lunch experience all around. As a tip, this place is pretty small so don't come with a large group. It's good for groups of 4 or fewer. There is street parking around. Watch the signs. read more

Great Place! Essan Sausage and the Thin crispy egg rolls are amazing.. Just to start.. Small Dishes but worth it!

One of my go to Thai places. There's a yellow curry dish with noodles that's my go to every time.

Without a doubt the best Thai food you can get outside of Thailand. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and handmade. I recommend starting with the steamed dumplings in green curry sauce. So flavorful! All their curry dishes are a real standout, and don't be afraid to order them spicy, their high heat isn't overwhelming at all. So far my favorite dish I've tried is Grapow Gai with fried egg...so unique, mined chicken with rice and a sunny side up egg on top. Simply delicious! Really can't recommend this place enough. read more

Great Thai restaurant in Burbank. It's very small - maybe 7 tables inside? It's extremely small and cozy. The decor inside is very cute and hipster-ish. I liked it! Parking is easy with street parking free in Burbank. It wasn't an issue with us as we got a spot right in front of the restaurant. Service was good since it was a small restaurant. I can't really complain. Be aware that the food is not family style. The menu has entrees that are catered towards one person. I was really interested in getting the curry but it came with rice. We were already planning on ordering the fried rice too. That would've been way too much. I think that the pad see ew and fried rice we ordered was good but nothing out of the ordinary. I thought that the serving size was nice but I've definitely had bigger portions at other restaurants. Overall, it's mediocre Thai food. Great for Burbank if you live nearby. Otherwise, I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Summer Buffalo - Pad see ew and Summer Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - Burbank, California

this is a nice, friendly, tasty place. a fun way to absorb some of burbank which i know very little about. met a friend for a simple easy dinner. she chose since she works nearby. first time here for both of us. she got a green curry and white rice, i got 'pad see you' (not ew) with shrimp. both basic, but both very good. service was easy going, relaxed, and friendly. the crowd around us i could tell was also enjoying stuff. total tab including steamed broccoli on the side, one cup of tea and one cold beer, about $60. tbh, a bit pricey for a basic thai dinner for two, but going out costs i guess. even in burbank. this def seems like a homey family operation, and i like supporting local small biz. and when they taste good and are a nice place for a bite... well that's easy to do. i would def come back. my eating-out budget is not huge so... i can't come back too often. but if i could, i would come back. read more

Small and intimate, it was great for a quick, delicious and fairly priced dinner with my boyfriend. We're lucky it's in walking distance and are making it part of our local rotation of places to eat at! read more

We were looking for a nice place to eat while somewhat in a hurry and came across this spot . I was under the impression it's some hot wings cafe type of place and was not happy about that . Wanted more of a healthy choice but my friend dragged me there to save some time and not to lie we liked the way it looked from outside. Cozy , warm atmosphere , cute and intimate. To my delight It was a Thai place and I was in for a surprise with the great quality and wonderful taste , healthy and amazing portions. Hit the spot million times better than I expected . Specially after dropping big money the week prior to that in some fancier places for some overpriced , below average quality foods . What a wonderful place . feels as cozy as it looks even more, great food , nice and friendly and respectful staff , great portion for a healthy meal lover for such and I repeat for such great price. After 2020i. and the whole pandemic seems most places just went crazy with the price on the menu . T Summer BUffalo is still serving with some humility in that regard. Definitely going back and can't wait to try their other options on the menu . - This cozy spot is a delight after Covid : ) - Great Garlic Edamame - Amazing Steamed Dumplings with the most delicious Curry Sauce - Delicious Pad Thai - and of Course Not The Not So Ordinary Orange Chicken read more

Really love their thai food. The pad Thai is so great. It's delicious yet feels light. Not too greasy. I love the tofu in it. I love pairing their pad Thai with a nice class of Cabernet. They have a small selection but their Rutherford Cabernet was good. The egg rolls are nice as appetizers. Especially if you don't eat meat. Their tofu fries are to die for if you love tofu! read more

This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants. My wife and i drove 45 minutes from Glendora just to eat here. Everything is amazing but my favs are the not so orange chicken, pad see you and tom kah. Dont sleep on the mango sticky rice. Mmmmm sticky rice read more

As a spicy food fanatic and someone who enjoys a nice hot bowl of soup.. their tom yum soup was amazing! Don't ask for spicy unless you are able to handle it Nice vibe too. read more

AMAZING THAI FOOD! From the service to the food, this place is a 11/10! I will be making my way back here! Everything that we ordered was phenomenal, and the portions were more than enough on every plate! I couldn't even get a picture of all the appetizers that we got because we ate them too fast! They even brought out a little water bowl for my dog! They atmosphere that they have created is great! Definitely try the Crispy Fried Egg Rolls they are out of this world! read more

I had Crispy Fried Egg Rolls, Tom Kha Soup, White Rice, and Thai Iced Tea. It was all very good and I appreciate no tomatoes in Tom Kha soup. The egg rolls were different and delicious, especially the sweet sauce that came with it. I'm pretty critical of Tom Kha soup and I wouldn't change a thing. It was spot on and they made it a perfect medium spicy. Food was delivered on time by a very courteous delivery person. Thanks! I'll order again next time I'm close. read more

First time in this restaurant and my family had an outstanding meal. The decor is really charming, service was excellent and we ordered multiple dishes and shared them family style. Everything was incredibly delicious and we had a great time. The noodle dishes we ordered were off the charts yummy. Definitely plan to return soon. read more

Got a dinner order to go yesterday from Summer Buffalo and it was great... food tasted fresh and just plain good... was ready on time and hot when i got home. Got the fried rice, pad see you, orange chicken and a few other things. The perfect thing if you don't want to cook dinner. read more

I visit this restaurant often with friends and family. The food is consistently delicious! My fave dish is the grapow gai and pad Thai washed down with Thai iced tea. Delicious! read more

Ordered delivery takeout right before they closed and so happy I was able to get my order in. Here is what we ordered: - Chicken Satay: chicken was delicious and the peanut sauce was perfect. - Dumplings in green curry sauce: the adults liked it! It's a little sweet. (suggestion: add a side of rice) - Beef Panang Curry w/ rice (mild): the curry had good flavor and I can tell this place could definitely turn up the spice if you like your curry spicy. This definitely hit the spot after exclusively eating theme park food for the last three days. I would highly recommend you get food from here. read more

Excellent! Ordered chicken satay for appetizer; super tender, peanut sauce was thick and flavorful. Visit was 2/10/23, and it was $12 for 4 sized good pieces. Thai iced tea, in most places, is usually "off" for me, but this place knows what they're doing! Delicious! Husband had the chicken pad Thai, and although it didn't have nearly any kick to it, he absolutely loved it. I had the Pad Kee Mau, spicy, and I was blown away at how incredible it was! Very flavorful, chicken was really tender! You won't leave here hungry, the portions are generous, the service was great, prices reasonable. Looking forward to eating here again! read more

One of my favorite go to thai food restaurants. The ambiance is cozy with small seating space, but the food and service are great. We go here regularly and enjoy it very much. The noodles, pad see you, summer fried rice, and orange chicken are delicious. read more

The food is good, except it can be extremely Spicy even when you mark online and ask for Not Spicy, and its always super spicy. I like spicy food to a limit, one time It was too spicy i couldn't even finish the food halfway and it was too late to call them for an exchange. The customer service has room for improvement as well, otherwise they have competitive prices and good menu. read more

Really enjoyed the flavors and portions! Got take out: pad Thai, pad see ew, and a couple other of the specials. Very tasty! The pick up for takeout was on time. No problems. Exceptional service and tasty food! 10/10 read more

Always a very good option when I'm craving Thai food. Their Tom Yum soup made me fall in love, I get it every time. The curry has a good spicy kick, as well. Also some great drink options, both non-alcoholic and alcohol! The option for outdoor seating is also nice when the weather is good. And of course the customer service is good and food is made fast. Recommend over the multitude of restaurants in the glendale/burbank area. read more

I love Summer Buffalo! The wings are like crack. I order them every time. Adore the dumplings in green curry too. Mixing that curry with some rice is awesomeness for your mouth. Then you add in some Pad Thai, Pad See You, or the chicken curry noodle and you are in HEAVEN. Easily my favorite Thai spot in Burbank. Sometimes if I'm on Melrose will go to their other location. Just huge fan of their take on Thai food. Enjoy! Super easy to pick up during quarantine too! read more

This little restaurant is top quality! I've been in a few times now with my boyfriend and each time we were greeted and welcomed in. The servers are nice and the place is small, but stylishly decorated and clean. I've only eaten their summer salad and summer fried rice, but both plates have been fresh, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection! I did think the peanut dressing on the salad was a bit on the spicy side, so if I order that again I'll be sure to ask for less spice, if that's possible. The greens in the salad were crisp and the ingredients looked like they were good quality. The summer fried rice has a lot of flavors and it is not spicy at all so it was a nice balance with the salad. The shrimp and chicken that were cooked with it were cooked to perfection! Our food has always been good from here. I definitely look forward to coming back and trying other things on the menu soon. Thanks for the great food and service! read more

Summer Buffalo - The Salmon Salad to go. - Thai Near Me - Burbank, California

One of the best Thai food I've had! Unfortunately the service was TERRIBLE and the experience indoors was TERRIBLE. I went to lunch with 2 friends and we each ordered something different. Unfortunately, each item came out at different times which caused some of our food to get cold. It was also HOT inside. There was no a/c, just a fan. I would recommend ordering to go to ensure all your food is ready at one time and you don't need to eat indoors. Other than that, the food was great and there was even an great lunch special! read more

Absolutely ridiculous! They held a promotion for lunch special "any order $20 or more will come with a free ice tea". I order my food takeout total came out to $35 with tip. I came back to pick up my order they told me they stopped the promotion and they forgot to take down to sign. Now I know there are bigger problems than this. However it irritated me so much that they will not just give a $.75 ice tea as a way to say we're sorry for the miss understanding instead of telling me they were incompetent. I will never go back to this "restaurant" again. My money and food has gone to waste do to their dissatisfactory customer service. Food is okay. read more

Overall excellent service; me and three of my friends showed up right at noon and were seated outdoors right away. Panang curry was very rich and savory, the pad thai was pretty standard BUT they included a variety of protiens (shrimp, chicken, and fried tofu) which is a pleasant surprise. The summer fried rice was very filling and I would highly recommend if you're trying to deviate from traditional thai dishes (pad see ew, curries, etc). The salmon curry noodle was the favorite for all of us - pleasant mix if spicy and a little bit of that classic thai sweetness. Very reasonably priced, and I would highly recommend as a lunch spot to go to if you're ever in the area! read more

This is my go to spot for Thai food in Burbank. While it doesn't beat the Thai restaurants in Thai town, it's a pretty good local option. Growing up on Thai food, I'm pretty picky about it. I wish they would increase their menu item selection. It is pretty limited. read more

Consistently delivering excellent Thai food! Very quick service! I always get it to go but there are usually folks dining inside and outside! read more

As I sit at my desk, eating my leftovers from last night, I decided it's a perfect time to review my new local Thai eatery. First of all, I was relieved to find a place open after 9pm on a Sundays (they close at 10pm). Second, I trusted the great Yelp reviews and was not let down. The ambiance is great (cute for a casual date, or for a friend dinner), staff is friendly, helpful and cool, food is fresh, creative and delicious. My friend had and enjoyed the "not-so-orange chicken" and I had the spicy salmon curry (which was not spicy at all). Both were yummy and we agreed we would be back for more! My only gripe was that the "spicy salmon" really needed some heat - it really was not spicy at all. In fact, I found it to be sweet. I probably would not order that again for that reason. We also shared the Summer Salad which was awesome - lots of veggies - fresh, just the right amount of dressing and a generous serving. Our server was a lovely and attentive young woman who was patient with our slew of questions. I definitely recommend this spot and I'm looking forward to going back and trying some other dishes! read more

This was my first time trying this restaurant and I think it is my new favorite Thai place! We ordered a variety of appetizers and dishes and loved every single one! I loved how the food wasn't too heavy or greasy and the sauces were just perfect! The customer service was also exceptional. It's a cozy little place with the cutest lighting and decor. Will for sure be coming here again very soon! read more

Walked in with my boys to get some Thai because I'd heard about this place from several people. I was kinda surprised at how small the place was and luckily there wasn't much of a wait so we got seated within a reasonable time. Honestly there wasn't a lot of selection and some misspelling on the dishes so I almost said Pad See You later but decided to give it a shot. I wasn't that hungry so I got the Tom Kah and it was actually really good. Almost went to this other place called Sri Siam Cafe but this place was pretty similar. Between them, I'd say it's a Thai. read more

This place is definitely a hole in the wall! It's a cute small place that serves bomb Thai food. They also serve beer, wine and delicious Thai iced tea. Must tries are their steamed dumplings with green curry, pineapple fried rice, drunken noodles and the Tom Yum soup. Consumer service is great, parking is easy to find, and the atmosphere is perfect for a casual night out. It has become my favorite Thai spot. read more

Summer Buffalo - Thai Near Me - Burbank, California

Came here last week to meet some friends for dinner. It's a cute spot, but small, so you might have to wait a bit for a table. We waited about 10 minutes as a group was just finishing as we checked it, so that worked out well. We ordered the egg rolls, the curry dumplings, the garlic pepper wings, the khao soi (coconut chicken curry noodles), and the grapow gai (a minced chicken with rice and veggies). All were good, but I really enjoyed the curry dumplings and the curry noodles - YUM! The wings were good too and had meat on them instead of just skin, which I always appreciate. The egg rolls are different; thin and crispy. I enjoyed them, but liked the dumplings better. Prices were reasonable. I would definitely come back. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Everything is consistently delicious, fresh, perfectly cooked. I tried the brown unmilled rice tonight and now will always order it! So toothsome and healthy. It was SO good with the grapow gai, which is my new go-to dish. I also love the Tom yum soup and order it every time. Enjoyed pad see ew and pad thai, green curry too! It's all fantastic! Friendly people work here. I'm so glad it's in our neighborhood. read more
