    Shrimp pad thai

    A small joint that delivers big flavor! I came here during the week for lunch. There was only one person manning the register and serving guests, but she promptly showed us to a table and gave us menus. I ordered the shrimp pad thai, which came with four tail-on shrimps and shredded carrot, red cabbage, and bean sprouts. The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the overall flavor was delicious. Portion size was good, price was very affordable, especially for the area, and service was great to boot. I will definitely be back to try other dishes.

    Came here for a quick lunch today between appointments at the medical center next door, and was very impressed with the food and service! Thai iced coffee was delicious. Ordered spring rolls to start. Way too often at Thai or other southeast asian restaurants, the spring rolls are fried from frozen and the insides are way too wet and burning hot. Here, it was more like wrapper around fresh, dry veggies and deep fried to crispy perfection. Absolutely loved it! My partner ordered the Tom Kha, which was delightfully sour and a large portion. I had the shrimp pad thai, with perfectly cooked fresh shrimp, sticky noodles and great flavor. When we got some boxes for leftovers, our server included some extra dipping sauce for the spring rolls. We also saw him provide great service to other tables. The food also came out super fast and piping hot. Highly recommend and will definitely come back!

    I ordered the shrimp Pad Thai. The food was good and fresh, but if you're looking for that classic sweet, salty, sour balance, this might not be your spot. The flavors lean on the lighter, healthier side (if that makes sense). The restaurant itself is small but the ambiance is nice. Mostly locals. Customer service was great, the server was really kind and attentive. Parking is conveniently located in the back, which is a big plus. They're open until 9PM, so it's a solid option for an early dinner. Overall, clean flavors, great service, but not your traditional Pad Thai taste.

    The real deal. Authentic Thai food. We finally found a place (on the westside) with the authentic wok-driven crisp and white pepper sprinkled on top that takes pad see ew to another level. My husband had the pad krapow lunch combo (includes rice and spring roll) and agreed that this restaurant is comparable to what you can find in Thailand. A true hidden gem. Far better than most if not all the other thai places we've been to in LA, including those in Thai town. Don't sleep on this place. **it's 1am... days after I visited and I'm still thinking about it**

    Very tasty and reasonable price. Pickup was easy and I didn't even have to ask for the chili sauce. Will come back to try more menu items!

    No more pad seee ewes

    A+ pad see ewes. Real nice things they got going on in here. Definitely recommend. Good Diet Coke too.

    It's hard to find authentic Thai cuisine, but Thongg Ake is it! They have great food, great service and friendly staff, I will definitely be back.

    After 3 bites (with the fork they provided), I'm close to finishing it. 23. Pad See-Ew

I had high hopes give all the rave reviews and the long line to get in at 8am when they opened, but was a bit disappointed. I ordered a cappuccino and the omelette with soft herbs and sharp cheddar. Perhaps I should have ordered a bakery/bread item given that's what they're known for. The omelette had no flavor and the cheese definitely didn't taste sharp. Something in the herbs also didn't go with the eggs (perhaps tarragon?). The included salad was overdressed and too vinegary for my taste. The cappuccino came out cold and I asked to have it heated up, and they gladly made a new one for me. Also, the loud music blaring at 8am when trying to have a conversation was annoying. This was a miss for me. That said, my friend enjoyed her bakery items very much

Yes…read moreyou can think of this place as a variation of Panda Express, but I think the food here is much better and healthier. Chef and owner Bryant Ng was formerly the opening chef at Nancy Silverton's Mozza and has been nominated for the James Beard Award multiple times including Best Chef: California in 2022 and Best Chef: West in 2017 for his formerly acclaimed restaurant Cassia in Santa Monica (now closed). [Parking]: Free 1-hour customer parking behind the restaurant. [Atmosphere]: Cute decor and the restaurant was playing funky music in the background. [Menu]: Customers build their own bowls with 2 bases (6 options), 2 vegetables (4 options), and 1 main (8 protein options or 1 vegetable instead) for $12.99. The back side of the laminated menu also lists all allergens for each item. Top Yelp highlighted items include Orange Mango Chicken (main), Chow Mein (base), Cold Noodles (base), Almond Roca Chocolate Chip, and Scallion Garlic Cheese Toast. The best-selling dish at Cassia, chickpea curry, is also available on the menu as main. *** Bowl (bases - chow mien + cold noodles, vegetables - cucumber salad + chopped kale salad, and main - charred honey chicken - $12.99): Generous portion with enough to split between lunch and dinner. I really liked the kale salad as it tasted creamy. The cold noodles were not too spicy with just a tiny hint of numbing spice. Honey chicken and chow mein were good. The order also came with green sauce and sweet & sour sauce. The green sauce was absolutely amazing (creamy and spicy) and the sweet-and-sour sauce was not as good as the green sauce but still good. *** There is no question in my mind that Jade Rabbit is one of the best Chinese American restaurants in LA and Orange County.
