    Another hidden gem. The food was tasty, portions large, prices reasonable. We got papaya salad which had a unique smell but tasted good. Spicy beef salad had extra tender meat and was flavorful. Green curry was rich in coconut which was an acquired taste but we liked it. And the pad thai was normal and delicious. Service was fast, and the water checked up often making sure everything was good. There's indoor and outdoor seating but no heat lamps outside. It's a bit tricky to get since it's on the 2nd floor but don't be confused by the restaurants you have to walk through to get to it.

    I really enjoyed this place! All the dishes we tried were delicious! We got medium spice for all the dishes and it was just the right amount of kick. The Papaya Salad was fresh and tangy. The Beef Salad had soft and tender pieces of beef in tangy dressing. The green curry and pad Thai were also on point. The service was fast and friendly. It's on the second story of a strip mall on Washington Blvd on the border between Marina del Rey and Venice. It's nothing fancy, yet it's clean and comfortable. I'd come back for sure!

    Food is so good and the vibe is awesome! Lovely view from the outdoor area. The Yellow Curry and Pad Z Ew was so delicious. Pra Ram also!

    Leaving me Tahnta-wanting for more! Always delicious food and friendly service right in the marina. A hot bowl of soup always bodes well for a sailor back from sea. Fair prices and fast service.

    We decided to have dinner pretty late and this was one of the only places that was open. We walked upstairs and grabbed a seat on the patio since it was a bit stuffy inside. The waiter grabbed us some menus and we quickly ordered food which was way more than we needed for only two people. 3/5 Spicy larb Kai - swimming in fish sauce but was still good 3/5 Green chicken curry - decent 4/5 Pad kra pow - very good 4/5 Crab Rangoon - very good with the dipping sauce 0/5 Sticky rice - too wet and I tried to complain but the waiter pretty much said 'too bad' The food was pretty good but giving this a low score because of the service. I told the waiter the sticky rice didn't taste good and was wayyy too wet and he pretty much ignored me and said too bad. He also reminded me that they close at 10, in which we had plenty of time. It seems like he was rushing us and trying to kick us out after we ordered all this food. I'd order takeaway but the service was bad.

    This place was wonderful. The service was exceptional, thoughtful, and attentive. I have a hard time believing that the negative reviews on yelp are nothing more than the competition trying to degrade the business. Folks -- this place has incredible food. Don't be fooled by the negative reviews. The Tom Kah was so delicious!! The sticky mango rice was a wonderful too!! If you get the opportunity to come here rest assured -- you won't regret it!

    What I ordered vs what I got

    I ordered their sticky rice through DoorDash and it arrived looking like this..? It smells disgusting like spoiled food and tastes just as bad. Not sure what happened here? Gross

    Papaya Salad: small portion, not tasty, and worse, it had an odor.

    This is the worst Thai restaurant I have ever been. At first, I wasn't sure if I should made this negative review. But then considering the quality and experience comparing with the over average reviews there's quite a discrepancy towards reality. It all started with a Papaya salad as an appetizer. Besides the small part ion for the price the salad had a suspicious unusual odor (!!) which I never experienced in any other salad or Thai dish before. It was disgusting and looking back it makes me very made. This is unacceptable and very negligent. Luckily we did not end up with food poisoning. Our big mistake was, that we did not canceled our remaining order and left. We were super hungry and thought the remaining dishes are better, but not really.. I got the Tom Kla which was a small size with almost no meat inside and not tasty at all. My wife had a green curry with veggies which came only 3 pieces of eggplant - ridicules. Also not tasty. My friend had a pad Thai, he said it was "ok", but not great. For the Salad and three dishes plus tap water (not well filtered, too) we spend $70 (plus tip - they deserved no tip, but I added $10 and mentioned "Salad was not good" on the receipt, no response) The first thing we did at house was cleaning our mouths with clean water. It was really this bad. Pointless to say that I would never recommend this place, except people who I don't like.. It's very, very rare that I gave 1 star, not sure I ever did. But this one needs a lesson that this food quality and value is not acceptable..

    Nice spot. Parking area was a little tight. Small and not a lot of people when I went in. Was able to order quickly. I got Thai fried rice with thai tea. The meat was good and flavorful. Since it was a new spot, I didn't get my usual. Maybe if I visit the area again I will try it. Would recommend checking out for sure.

    Never had a bad experience here. Everybody is so nice, the food is reasonably priced, and most importantly, it's super consistent. Love this place and supporting local businesses!

    Lunch Today: Tahntawan Thai is one of my favorite neighborhood Thai restaurants! I'm here quite often, as they make some of my favorite dishes. Thai Eggplant & Pumpkin: Blows my mind every time, alongside a side of rice! The sautéed combo of veggies with garlic chili sauce has my tastebuds dancing nonstop! Haha! One of my absolute favorites!! Vegan Burrito: My order today! So good, it's flavorful, delicious & just packed with goodness; veggies, brown rice & an avocado all wrapped up like a warm embrace! Though it includes delicious homemade green sauce, I also absolutely love the peanut sauce. (extra $1.25 & absolutely worth it! They make it in-house!) Veggie Pad Thai: Delicious, glossy, flavorful & always hits the spot, packed with colorful veggies! Delicious: Other favorites are the Thai iced tea, papaya salad and Tom Kha soup...so good! Decor: So cute & colorful! I've dined both inside & outside! Outdoors is my favorite, because I can always appreciate fresh air, the colorful scenery, sitting under one of the striped umbrellas & seeing the tall palm trees sway! Customer Service: CK is a whole vibe, so friendly & puts her heart & soul into the restaurant. She's so sweet, attentive & we always have fun conversations, including talking about Thailand, where she's originally from. Imagine my surprise when one day I ordered delivery & her car pulls up at my place, so fun to see each other. We both screamed OMG in surprise & happiness! Haha! Overall: Love this place & that explains why I visit often! Great customer service, flavorful dishes & the cute location up high on the second floor keeps me coming back for more!

It's a tiny place in a random plaza, parking is fairly easy, they have both street parking and a lot if you walk a bit further down. We used to always order them lunch special, I personally loved their khao soi and crispy pork belly with Chinese broccoli. Their spicy beef salad, tom kha chicken soup and when tigers cry were also really good and highly recommended. Their pad Thai and pad see ew were good but they felt just standard for a Thai restaurant. The only downside it the food takes forever if you order ahead. Like I'm talking 40-60 mins for a to go order and when they give you that estimate, they're not lying. It really does take that long for the food.

This is the best Thai food west of Jitlada! Had a splendid meal at Ayara tonight. A friend from rural Oregon is staying with us and she was starved for good Thai food. Started with the fried calamari- love it when it includes the tentacles. Duck salad, Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Yellow Curry, and Bok Choi followed. Highly recommend eating family-style so that everyone has a taste of all the dishes. The Pad See Ew and Yellow Curry are some of the best examples of these classic dishes we have had in L.A. Finished with an excellent Mango Sticky Rice plus a Mango Sorbet. These desserts were so fresh. Love it when mangoes are in-season. Our house-guest gave the experience a 10/10. Ample, free parking; friendly staff; indoor and outdoor seating; and very good value for a foodie-satisfying meal. Reservations available through OpenTable. And, they just added a full liquor license. Bon Appétit!
