It's to Thai for! My absolute FAVORITE lunch spot. I'm picky with my hainan chicken - but, howdy doodie does this place do it right! Best peanut sauce. Boyfriend loves the cashew chicken - without cashew - and yes, that's an order! Haha emoji. Always ask for their chillies tray. The pickled jalapeños are to die for! Thank you to Bank, who not only is friendly, but remembers your order and makes you feel as special as this place is. Die hard fan forever. See y'all soon! read more

Great lunch deal! Food is very flavorful. Beef spicy basil not as good as chicken basil it's the best. My favorite dish was red curry with salmon. Wish it came with more fish because the sauce is great! Silver noodles were good too. Best Thai spot in la. Great ambiance and service read more

I have a slight addiction to Yellow Curry and this place is my absolute favorite in West LA for this dish. The Pad Thai and the Eggrolls are great too. I really like this place - the staff are friendly and the environment is always welcoming. This place is great for a dinner pickup but also if you're going out for a date night or a casual dinner - not too fancy but good for a nice dinner and good cocktails. I usually park out front but I believe they have a lot in the back as well, and there are typically a few tables available. Definitely a neighborhood gem! read more

I have been craving Thai basil fried rice so today I decided to try Thai Talay but they didn't have basil fried rice so I decided crab fried rice and asked for medium spicy. I just have 1 question, how do you make rice into quinoa and use it in a fried rice dish? It was so grainy that I ate two bites and was completely turned off from the texture of instant rice and there was zero spice. Just based on this experience I will not be trying anything else. For $18 I expected a totally different experience. read more

You really can't go wrong with the thai food here. I've tried their pad thai, fried calamari, spring rolls, yellow curry, red curry, combo fried rice-- it's all good. FYI the spicy pad thai is not spicy (although the color is more red than the actual pad thai). The pad thai here is also on the sweeter end! My personal favorite was the red curry! I'm actually not sure if the curries come with rice but I just cooked rice at home and had it with that. Pretty fire! There is street parking but I usually just get to go here. read more

I went to this restaurant during lunch to celebrate a coworker's recent engagement! This place has a bar and table seating available. The space is clear and modern. I got the Heavenly Garlic Shrimp Plate Lunch and shared a dumpling tray with my coroners. They got the PadThai, Panang curry, and some other beef dish that I can't remember. The flavors of the shrimp dish were good, but I wish there was more shrimp. The brown rice was on the drier side, so it wasn't pleasant to eat. I tried my other coworkers dishes and they were all tasty. The staff were very attentive and very friendly/nice. I appreciated their customer service very much! They even provided us a cake knife to cut the cake we brought for my coworker. I would recommend giving this place a try! (But maybe only get the white rice lol.) read more

Thai Talay is one of those rare, quality places located in a somewhat rundown commercial business strip along busy, busy Lincoln Blvd., a heavily used route to the airport. The restaurant itself has a very nice facade, however. We were there Wednesday evening, between rush hours (the hostess said lunch is busy during the week), and almost had the place to ourselves (it has a bar, too). I had a rice-bed dish, with shrimps, crabs, shallots (I think) and a number of other ingredients which, combined, resulted in a really good meal. My partner had a noodle soup of some sort which she enjoyed. The service was outstanding, and our very gracious and attentive server was all smiles all the time. Convenient parking is in the rear (no parking usually on Lincoln). All around, an excellent experience in a really nice atmosphere. read more

They proceeded to lecture us and try to charge us even more money after they got our order wrong. They withheld the correct order until we gave them more money. This will be the very last time we order from Thai Talay. If there are better Thai restaurants nearby we ask that you leave them in your reviews so people know where to go next time.

Never ordered from here before but, through DoorDash, their delivery time was in line with what we wanted. We ordered the pad thai, yellow curry, calamari, green beans and the orange chicken. Over all it wasn't great. We're used to great Thai food and this just wasn't it. The orange chicken literally had 10 pieces. When you can count the pieces in your order of orange chicken, that's a problem. And it was ground chicken with a coating, not pieces. There's a reason all the pieces were shaped the same. The texture alone will put you off this dish forever unless you immediately order it from your very own tried-and-true place, and apologize to it for going elsewhere. Then promise never to do it again. The green beans were excellent. Crispy-tender and nicely garlicked, I could have had just that and been happy. The chicken curry was good too and you get a generous portion. I ordered that with the sticky rice. Careful when you spoon into it: it's covered in a barely there thin plastic that you'll end up eating if you're not paying attention. The pad thai was very good too (my hubs didn't agree--thought it tasted funny). It was nice and saucy and the taste was fine for me. The calamari was chewy--not very good. With so many excellent Thai places on the west side, this will never be a go-to. Sorry. read more

They ignore the tables to kiss, hug, and hang all over these wealthy old white guys and the customer service suffers for it. It's not a very dignified look for the women that work here and implies a shady vibe to the rest of us. Again the food is pretty good just NOT a fan of the inappropriate behavior Managers response is pathetic. I didn't say they were happy to see people. No one would have an issue with that.

"Would you like something else Sir??" ... hello?? Am I invisible?? She probably thought he was paying the check and wanted to get tipped.. It doesn't work like that, it's not my fault that you had a bad day. I have so many friends who are waiters as well and I ALWAYS tip... but for a bad service why would I pay extra??

I ordered a fried rice base and a green curry chicken bowl. The fried rice was a bit too wet (like freshly cooked rice turned into fried rice) and lacking a strong soy sauce presence; however, it does mean that it pairs well with the curry without being overwhelming. The curry has a bright fresh flavor with a creamy coconut milk taste and was definitely the highlight of the meal. I also managed to sample their soft serve. The flavors were Thai tea and blue butterfly. They tasted pretty standard and the Thai tea and blue butterfly definitely shone through, but not much else.

Hidden Garden Thai is so great. You will just love it. We go there a lot because it is near us, but…read morewe also do pick up. The place is just beautiful. It is newer and it is so well maintained. You can tell they care about this place. The seating is very comfortable and there usually is not a wait, but call them before you go. I think you can sign up on line. I never have done that. The service is wonderful. They know the menu well and will help you and make suggestions. My favorite is their spring rolls, their fried rice and their Pad Thai. They also have the best shrimp rolls that are huge and fried to perfection. Their crab noodles are a must try and you will love any of their pork dishes. There is just not a bad dish there. It is all great. We also enjoy their vegan menu.

What a great restaurant!…read more My friends and I were holding an event and decided to order numerous dishes from this restaurant for us to try. We ordered via Uber Eats. Our food was cooked quickly and delivered on time. We ordered numerous dishes such as the shrimp fried rice, curry chicken, white rice, egg rolls, etc. each dish was delicious and super flavorful. We were all happy with our order and I'll definitely be back to try additional dishes.

Thai Dishes Restaurant - Manchester Ave…read more There's a certain kind of place that promises "authentic," then spends the rest of the meal apologizing for itself. This isn't that place. Even doing takeout as first-timers, the welcome was warm and effortless -- no awkward upsell, no rushed indifference. Just a genuine "we've got you," which sets the tone before you even get the food home. Everything tasted like it was made by people who know the dishes by muscle memory, not by notes taped to the wall. The pad thai was balanced, focused, and quietly confident -- nothing extra, nothing missing. Service was smooth and unforced. No performance, no small talk, just competence and care. The kind that makes you trust what's in the bag. Bottom line: If you like food that knows what it is and doesn't feel the need to explain itself, this place delivers -- literally and otherwise. I'll be back. And next time, I might stay.

The delicious lunch specials are all you really need as they offer a multitude of reasonably priced choices. I had the tasty salmon in Panang curry at a mild spice level. The complimentary butterfly tea was a nice surprise and word on the street is the mango sticky rice is grandmother's famous recipe! This restaurant boasts all ingredients are made in house

Very popular place. Very busy lunch crowd and it's for a reason. They have very good food …read more Great selection of lunch specials generous portions and lots of choices. If you are lucky, you'll be seated with your back along the wall so you can admire the extravagant decor. Only negative for me is they only have canned soda, so no refills. But, I guess that is better for my health. Note that they close from 3 to 4 (employeebreakandgettingsetupfordinne), so don't plan on a late lunch or a very early dinner. Full hours are 10am to 8:30pm, Monday to Friday, 11am to 8:30pm on Saturday and closed on Sunday. Absolutely somewhere worth trying if you like Thai food or even if you have never tried it. This would be the place to find out as the food is excellent. Enjoy!

Cozy little restaurant with cultural bits strewn about. Small, but I think most order takeout so…read moreit's not busy and no lines. The lady running the place was very welcoming and smiling. Super attentive, maybe even to a fault but I'd rather a server be invested than not. Quite possibly the best Thai Iced tea I've ever had. I don't like them too sweet, watery or tasting artificial. There's something different about the flavor profile here that just hits. I got a salad. Forgot which one, but it had lots of colorful tasty veggies. The dressing was beautifully balanced with a light, sweet vinegar. Nice large portion! A cup of Tom Kha paired nicely, and value for money is exceptional with this dish as well. I definitely felt like I was getting my money's worth with those nice big juicy shrimp. Love that every single ingredient they use is FRESH. Can't wait to try more dishes here!

We ordered wings, coconut soup and basil fried rice. The rice and soup were good, except I didn't…read morecare for the chicken that was inside the soup because it was dry. The wings were just ok, the sauce made it a little better. The server was really nice and the service was quick. I don't like that the suggested tip section was circled on the receipt. I find that to be rude and an insult as if I don't know to tip, it actually makes me tip less because I assume you think I'm not going to tip or won't tip enough. They have plenty of tables for dining in and there's a large parking lot.

Great Thai food & close to Hotels near by which makes it a great choice for tourists. I've been…read morecoming here for years and they had couple changes. Prices changed but quantity looks the same. They do have a Service charge of 15% for Dine In which is the equivalent to the servers tip. It works well with people like me who doesn't like to figure it out All the tip. 15% is the bare minimum to me. I see some reviews of people complaining about it? I personally didn't mind it at all. Servers were friendly, food was great, good background music & I will definitely keep coming back for take out or Dine In.

A reliable spot for me to hit anytime I'm coming home the airport or staying at the Westin nearby…read more It's a cute, family-run spot with a fun interior and a no-frills, comfortable feel. The owner is kind and a bit of a fun character! The food itself is solid and satisfying. The curries are the standouts for me, especially the pineapple curry and the panang curry. Both are flavorful, come with rice, and feel reasonably priced for the portions you get. Those are my go-to orders and the ones I'd recommend. Some of the entrée-style dishes are a bit pricier and don't include rice, so I usually skip those and stick with the curries. This place has been a lifesaver after getting back from the airport when my wife and I are starving and don't want fast food. A couple of things to note. Parking can be tricky if you're not already in a nearby garage, though there is some street parking on nearby side streets. Also, there is a dine-in charge that's roughly equivalent to a standard tip, so just be aware of that going in. That seems to be to account for the fact that you may not have the same server visit your table throughout the meal. Panang Cafe is a solid Thai option in an area that could really use more spots like it, and I'm very glad it's there.

An illusion of supposedly good pad Thai.

Update: Little Sister reached out and made things right, so I want to reflect that here…read more We planned a family event and had our order cancelled two hours before with no warning, which left us scrambling. It was frustrating, especially as long-time loyal customers. But to their credit, Megan and the team followed up, addressed our concerns sincerely, and handled it with real care. They never asked us to update our review so they genuinely accepted their mistake and now I feel bad lol. That kind of accountability goes a long way. We've always loved the food and service here, and honestly this experience reminded us why we kept coming back in the first place.

Nice ambiance, but that's about it…read more Food was mediocre and bland. Service was worse. As a Latino party of 4, we were treated noticeably differently than the two Caucasian women seated next to us. Our server was friendly, attentive, and checked on them often, while we were ignored, given attitude, and had to flag her down just to order. We ended up getting drinks and appetizers only and left to go somewhere we actually felt welcomed. Didn't catch the server's name she never introduced herself, and I was too upset to check the receipt. The host, however, was much nicer. We even told her wish you were our server on the way out! She said of no was there a problem.... We didn't want to make a big deal and walked away while my father in law did tell her that server had a stick up her you know what... she quickly said yes I know, I'm so Sorry! So we know for a fact it wasn't the first time! Really disappointing experience. Do better, Little Sister.
