4.58 score - We spent the last 5 days in Burbank to go to universal studios and we ate at Summer Buffalo twice! Yes 2 out of the 5 days. First time we ordered for pick up and the food was prepared fast and the food was very good. We first ordered the not so ordinary orange chicken, fried dumplings, red curry, and the fried rice. All so good. The second time we ate in and our experience was even better. I wasn't feeling so good bc I I had a headache so I decided to order the tom yum, pad Thai, orange chicken, fried dumplings, gyoza, Thai tea, and my wife ordered the dish with the sunny side egg on top with ground beef green peppers etc. the whole family was happy. Our waitress was so nice and understanding when my son tipped over my wife's Thai tea. Customer service was great they really made us feel at home. Only two iffy things was I didn't really like the seasame seed on the rice during our to go order and the pad Thai did seemed like it was missing something. All in all though great experience and we are definitely coming back. Thank you! read more

This is been a neighborhood staple for us for years now. It's still so dang consistent and flavorful, portions are great, price is right. Take out alone is delicious, and dine in adds a cozy atmosphere. The beef panang curry is chef's kiss. Just the right kick of spice and the sweetness of the coconut milk... YUM. Shout out to the owner and the staff here. Super friendly, super kind, and it's clear they put in the effort for your business. If you're here often enough, they'll treat you like friends and family. read more

Summer Buffalo - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Burbank, California

I always pass by this place and finally made the time to try it and it was amazing! The food was very good and the service was very fast. The space is small and you can either do takeout or sit outside and enjoy your meal. The price was also not bad, i would say it's affordable. The Thai Tea I would recommend to try as a drink and honestly, everything I ordered was good. So go ahead and just pick something and you won't be disappointed. Will come back again! read more

I have mixed feelings about our dinner here. The wings and sausage apps were liked by everyone at our table. The water came with a wedge of lime in tiny adorable little cups we loved and kept the water super cold the entire time. The service was good and the waitress was kind and answered every question. However.... I'm gluten free and asked about the pad see ew. She said they could make it gluten free. Music to my ears. The Pad See Ew came to the table without the black bean sauce and while the noodles were cooked to perfection, the taste was not the same. I asked if they forgot the sauce and she said the black bean sauce is made with soy sauce which has gluten so they left it out! I feel like this was a lost in translation situation. I would've ordered something else if she would've said they were going to give me plain noodles with no sauce. Apparently they cannot make the sauce with gluten free soy sauce. It was a big faux pas in my book. I heard their orange chicken was great. It sure looked great. Everyone else loved their meal. I wish I would've had the same experience. At least the mango with sticky rice was good. But really, how can you go wrong with mango? Scratch that, I don't want to jinx it. read more

Surprisingly good ambiance for it's location, great menu with lots of vegetarian options and super friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.

Cute little place with some delicious Thai cuisine. It's not the most inviting or comfortable spot to dine-in. Outdoor might be a little better, but we did sit inside. Service was charming and excellent and portions were ample and delicious. We started with Curry Dumplings that were SO good! I had Pad Thai which I Liked although it could have had a little more peanut sauce. My wife got their Special Pork Tacos (although, I don't think they're really a special as their Special Board is the same as it was a couple years back and never seems to change). They were just great! 100% recommend. A great choice in Burbank for dine-in or take-away. read more

Love this place, several options to choose from. Food is amazing, service was great. A must try if your in the area.

Very fresh and great customer service. Very friendly staff . The taste for the satay chicken was underwhelming and the peanut butter sauce was VERY peanut-y. I've had better Thai tea but I liked the ice to drink ratio. read more

Covid review - There is not dine-in option so it's all order to-go. Pad thai was just ok in my opinion and gets mushy in the container from the steam. If you're ordering pickup, I would suggest somehow pop open the lid of the container but you'd have to carefully transport your food. The summer fried rice is pretty good. Can't go wrong with the meat, egg, rice combo. It's not at all spicy until you add some of the sauce from the little container. That's where all the pepper heat is. read more

Summer Buffalo is great spot for Thai food in Burbank. The food is decently priced with most dishes at about $10. They don't compromise on the quality of the food nor on the portion size. We tried the chicken satay,green dumpling with curry sauce and the Pad Kee Mau. The satay was cooked to perfection! The green curry sauce was creamy and delicious. The Pad Kee Mau (drunken noodles) was good too. Definitely a great spot for a quick lunch or dinner. They currently have outdoor seating and pick up. The service was prompt and friendly. Parking is available on the streets. read more

Back at my favorite spot for another Beef Panang Curry! Their thai iced tea is also one of my favorites out there and the combination of the two are a match made in heaven! The staff here is truly so friendly and makes the best Thai food in LA! Definitely make this your go to spot read more

This place is great. I eat there frequently and take home at least every other week. The service is great, and the quality of the food if top. Order brown rice and get black rice which is perfectly chewy and great. Not a better Thai restaurant anywhere. I heard there were some people complaining about the restaurant. Giving it one star. It started about the take out. They came in, grabbed a bag with out looking at the name and then came back and claimed the restaurant was at fault and they are giving it bad reviews. IGNORE them. When I get take out they always verify that its my order. But then I don't just grab a bag and go with out checking its the right order! read more

The one star review by Mapnha A. is simply an unwarranted attack on this great restaurant. First, this guy was not a customer. He is a delivery person who picked up the wrong delivery bag (he came in a picked up a bag when the restaurant people were not present). He did not confirm that it was the correct bag, which is required by the agreement between the restaurant and the delivery company. He wanted to blame the restaurant when it was entirely his fault. I witnessed the confrontation that ensued when this guy came in and tried to blame the restaurant. He is a very large man who was invading the space of a small woman (two feet taller and 3 times heavier). Very obnoxious. I eat at Summer Buffalo almost every week (sometimes more!!). It is probably the best Thai place in the county. The people there are very nice and try very hard to make their food great. David in Burbank read more

Yall. just hear me out. We walked in and there was no one in sight. The ingredients (canned goods) were all lined up on the wall... At that moment I knew this food was finna be BWUSSIN. Put (I think that's how you spell it) kept it real with the menu and what we might prefer... And everything SLAPPED. Flavorful, spicy, aromatic. And they didn't rush us to leave after closing.. 10/10 AND I WILL BE BACK Im at work right now dreaming about the roti I miss it already. read more

This place HITS every single time! Thank you for being a kind, consistent, blessing of a restaurant! It's rare to find a place like this. Everything is always delicious.

I really like this place, you can dine in or take out. The dining room is small but we've never had an issue with getting a table. Service is always good. I love pretty much all of their dishes to be honest. read more

Average expensive food. Some dishes are tweaked to suit the American palate. We ordered basil chicken, Thai fried rice (vegan) and chicken satay. Chicken satay was undercooked. Won't go again. Better drive to Thai town to enjoy good Thai food. read more

We have ordered for delivery from Summer Buffalo whenever we get a hankering for Thai cuisine because it's one of the few we just don't want to bother cooking ourselves. Everything we have ordered from them has been delicious, with generous portions, and timely delivered with a smile. We have not dined in the restaurant itself, but we have enjoyed all the selections we have had delivered. We definitely will be ordering again. read more

We visited Burbank from the Bay Area last month and were craving Thai food. After checking Yelp, we found a few restaurants in the area, but most were about to close as it was close to 9 pm. We called Summer Buffalo and were greeted by a super nice person who said they could still take us. When we arrived, they remembered our call and seated us at a cozy corner table. I absolutely loved the ambiance of this place--super casual yet romantic with a jazzy, chill vibe. The decor wasn't overly elaborate, but the dim lighting and thoughtful service created a great atmosphere. They even reused glass bottles with original labeling, which added a touch of sustainability and personality. We ordered the green curry chicken, pad kee mau with chicken, and chicken Thai fried rice. Everything was incredibly delicious. We also had coconut water which was so sweet and refreshing. The service was excellent, always with a smile. The host/server was extremely friendly and even offered to cut the coconut in half and pack it for us so we could enjoy the coconut meat later. We will definitely be back when we visit Burbank again! read more

What a hidden gem! We were looking around for a place that was open after 8:30pm for takeout, and Summer Buffalo popped up on Yelp. My housemates and I hadn't had Thai food in a while so we were really looking forward to it. Ordering over the phone was easy, and they estimated 20 minutes to put it all together. I ordered the salmon curry noodle, my housemate ordered the wings, and the other ordered the drunken noodles. Once we got there, they needed a bit longer to finish the order. My housemate additionally ordered the Thai tea and I ordered a Thai beer because they were offering 50% off. I really liked the flavors of the salmon curry noodle, and the salmon was tender enough to cut with a fork. Somehow the outside of the salmon was still dryer than I'd like, and I wasn't a fan of the dry noodles that topped it off, but overall I did enjoy the item. The beer was good too--not heavy at all. My housemate enjoyed her wings and Thai tea. No complaints there. My other housemate said she could tell the drunken noodles would be good, but they were too spicy for her (she doesn't like spicy food). My other housemate and I tried them and liked them, so we saved them for later. They heated up well late the next day, and made for a great dinner! I recommend trying Summer Buffalo and hope to return myself. I want to try their other curries and noodles! read more

Summer Buffalo - Drunken noodles, Salmon Curry Noodle, Thai tea - Thai Near Me - Burbank, California

If you are walking by the restaurant and smell the delicious food (hence lured in like a Siren's call), then it's fantastic! Except when ordering to-go upon arrival, the environment and restaurant connoisseurs appear anxious and rushed, especially given the tiny space and the fact that other Uber delivery driver's appear to have precedence of the customer gently indicating he is ready to order. The staff forced the purchase as a debit card (and I wanted to pay with cash, plus leaves tips easier and more tangible - who doesn't like that!?), and ushered me to pay quickly because the Uber delivery people had arrived post-haste. Talk about being judged!! Wearing flip-flops, a comfy T-shirt and some shorts, the guests were noticeably confused as to why I was standing waiting for "food." I felt uncomfortable. A couple entered while I was waiting, and the table that was available for them was "off skewer," wobbling back and forth and as they sat down to order, he came underneath the table to fix it for about 10 uncomfortable seconds. Because I was waiting (and standing wasn't a forte at this restaurant), having taken a seat in a neighboring 2-seated table left their availability limited for another dining spot. So I smiled and moved as soon as I realized this and they passed me just commenting on how this other table was available, refusing eye contact and non-verbally shunting me out of their comfy space. Ugh. Then just getting the food the woman who placed my food in the to-go bag was like "here you go" didn't look at me and seemed to be just like everyone else there - displeased with their environment lol I don't know. Food was good, atmosphere was y to the crap (crapy). Just be careful entering on a whim and expecting kindly tidings waiting for a 20 minute meal in a restaurant about the size of half a master bedroom:( read more

Fabulous food absolutely delicious great service... lots of choices... very personal service

Don't waste your time attempting to order breakfast from them, even though their menus have a breakfast section, and their storefront says they serve breakfast. Put in an online order that was paid for and confirmed by the restaurant, with a pick-up time given. When we arrived, it was closed with no one manning the store. Wouldn't be a big problem if there was a way to get my money back, but here we are. read more

Ordered Pad Thai and garlic string beans. The green beans tasted off--definitely not fresh--and the Pad Thai.. was solid, albeit spicier than expected for a 'mild' order. I've had solid meals from here before, but today just wasn't it. $40 with an iced tea via Postmate. Better luck next time. read more
