    Very interesting Thai restaurant. Been to many Thai restaurants but not one where they serve breakfast items and burgers. Glad we discover this spot. Ambiance: 5/5 - Very simple, unique, and clean. Service: 5/5 - Very friendly and service was quick. Food: 5/5 - Food was delicious. Really enjoyed my Thai Omelet over Rice. We ordered the followings: - Thai Omelet over Rice - Thai Chicken Satay Sandwich - Holy Basil Ground Chicken (Instead of Pork) Would definitely come back and try other items.

    Breakfast croissant. Yummy! Croissant was excellent

    $15 breakfast sandwich (egg, cheese, lettuce, tomato, spicy mayo) Thai omelette - good! Eggs were soft and fluffy with white rice underneath. Simple and satisfying Thai coffee - not great, very watered down and tasted like milk more than anything else $15 mango sticky rice shaved ice- good as well. It was coconut ice cream with a little bit of mango on top and a side of sticky rice. There wasn't so much mango, hoped there would've been more, but overall was good. It was the shaved snow type so nice and soft. Sticky rice was perfect

    This cute little spot has potential, but the service during our visit was really disappointing. We had to ask for water refills, and our server actually brought us the check before we were even done ordering everything. We had to ask if we were being rushed to leave because it felt so inappropriate. When we ordered dessert, the dirty dishes were just left sitting on the table. To make matters worse, only one of our two appetizers arrived. When I asked about the second one, the server initially said it was on its way, but then admitted she forgot to put the order in, so I just canceled it. I also asked for no peppers and to substitute onions on my main dish, but that modification was completely ignored. I didn't even want to ask again when it was at the table. On the positive side, the food was okay overall, and my son really enjoyed his chicken fried rice. It's a cute place, but they desperately need to clean up their service and attention to detail.

    Was driving by and wifey was craving for matcha and thought she'd like this place as it's a cute Thai cafe. There's ample of parking outside and parking garage. We were here on a Sunday afternoon and was able to park outside (last spot). We ordered matcha latte, Thai ice coffee, 3 shots of this Thai egg thing and spicy Thai basil. My wife didn't see that matcha shaved ice and regretted ordering the drink and wished she order the shaved ice instead. The Thai ice coffee was pretty strong. The egg shots were interesting. I ordered two +$1 soy and 1 regular. I thought the eggs were a bit over cook They offer cute kid plate and cup lol it made my daughter happy :) service was good and they play cute Thai music in the background. They offer a lot of breakfast and dessert options. If we're in town again would def want to come back for the dessert.

    Finally ate here after walking past and perusing the menu for months. Stopped in on a Friday right around 1pm. I ordered the best avocado toast and added fruit, with a supreme Thai iced coffee. My husband ordered a burger and iced tea. My Thai coffee was good, albeit a little sweet for my liking. It's not super sweet but I am not a fan of sweet coffee. The waitress did warn me but I still ordered it so that was on me. My avocado toast was beautiful and yummy but I would get a weird fish scent when I would bite into it. I don't know if it's from the chimichurri sauce but it was somewhat off putting even though it didn't affect the taste. My husband enjoyed his burger and fries. Our waitress was very friendly and efficient and the vibe of the place is chill and casual. They have a pretty extensive menu that can be a bit overwhelming. Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience but I did find it a bit pricey. I do want to come back to try some other dishes.

    Very cute place that serve American breakfast style food and some Thai cuisine. I got the Thai omelette and it was very good and the wife got the croissant egg and bacon sandwich. I had a bite of that and was impress. The croissant was flaky and buttery. Thai coffee wasn't great but it's fine. Overall great vibes and a fun place to eat and people watch.

    Some breakfast time

    Wow such a great find!! Can't believe how close this is to the beach and next to LAX and my hotel. Cute and quaint all day Thai cafe really love what they did here. Super laid back great spot to grab breakfast with friends and family or even impress that one foodie friend you haven't seen in a while! Now to the food! I ordered the Best Avocado toast, house made chimichurri, honey, nori goma, radish, and power green, sourdough! Fantastic so good prob the best avocado I've ever had ngl I've had some good ones but yeah wasn't overly sweet either had a great balance truly enjoyed this one! I also ordered a Breakfast croissant, well because I'm a foodie, which was absolutely delicious! Super flakey croissant with egg, cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon, spicy mayo. Egg and bacon cooked just right all the flavors came together like a perfect bite every time. Even the tomato was red and brought a nice touch to the whole sandwich. The waitress was super busy as she was the only one running the front. She crushes it I've seen bigger restaurants struggle with more staff and less people. Thank you so much for letting change tables mid dinning to sit outside is the sun!!! I was truly impressed because this was the type of restaurant I was looking for this morning near my hotel and had healthy breakfast options and was local! Absolutely coming back to this gem anytime I'm in the area.. Thank you so Toast & Thai love your little cafe! Can't wait to try the other menu items, like the Biscotti's lovers waffles!!!

    Pad See Eew....noodle was too broken apart.
    Annie S.

    The food was pretty decent. There's a decent amount of choices and the food tasted authentic. The only thing I didn't enjoy was they only have chicken as choice of protein. And the Pad See Ew noodle was too broken apart, I didn't care for it. The service was good, the waitress was pretty attentive and the ambiance is decent. It's a decent size restaurant with outdoor seating as well. If I'm in the neighborhood I don't mind coming again.

    Cookie Monster Shaved Ice
    Eugene O.

    Came here on Saturday with little more than a subtle craving for dessert after a hefty meal at the restaurant next door. I left shocked at how much I enjoyed my experience. This place has chill vibes, super friendly staff, and two of my favorite treats: mango sticky rice and bing su. The mango sticky rice and bing su (the one I had was called the Cookie Monster Shaved Ice) were fantastic. The bing su, in particular, was off the charts. It was incredibly creamy, fluffy, and loaded with cookie crunch. Judging by the photos left by other patrons, people don't even come here for the dessert. I'm going to have to return this weekend to try out other stuff off the menu. Can't wait.

    Chicken Meat Ball Banh Mi with side salad
    Ellie Z.

    This place was DEAD when my friend and I went here at around 5PM on a Sunday. It wasn't a big place at all and it looked like you could order at a kiosk and have your food ready to-go, so maybe eating in isn't their specialty? I don't know, but this place had a big menu and decent reviews so we chose to hit up this spot. The vibes in here were super laid back. There was only one woman who we saw working which was also the hostess and everyone else's server, which was just us and another woman to tables away from us. We had a difficult time choosing something to order since the menu was so diverse. Everything from croffle ice cream, to clam chowder, to a full Thai menu. I saw banh mi on the menu and instantly knew I had to order it since I've never tried it before. So, I ordered the chicken meatball banh mi sandwich with a side salad (removing the jalapeño and spicy mayo). My friend ordered a Thai iced coffee and the pineapple curry. The food came out relatively quickly. My friend enjoyed her Thai iced coffee, but she said she wished she'd ordered the Thai tea instead. She also really liked her pineapple curry, and it came out piping hot. I tried it and it was super spicy, so not for me, but she really enjoyed it. My banh mi sandwich was interesting. Right off the bat, it was 75% bread. The bread wasn't bad. In fact, it was chewy and not tough to tear into, but the sandwich itself was mostly bread. There were only like three meatballs in the sandwich, which were cut in half, and I feel like there wasn't anything special about the meatballs. If I was blindfolded, I would think they were the Great Value frozen meatballs in a bag from Walmart. The pickled cabbage was nice though, even if the mixture made the entire bottom of the sandwich soggy af (but I like soggy bread so it was fine with me). I tore most of the bread off and left it on the plate. The side salad dressing also spilled onto the sandwich and contributed to the soggy bread. Now that I'm looking at the photo I took of the sandwich, there wasn't much cilantro on there at all. The pickled cabbage was at the very bottom buried in between all the bread.

    After seeing the great reviews, I decided to give Toast & Thai a try. Unfortunately, my experience was just okay. I didn't leave disappointed, but I also didn't leave feeling like I'd want to come back. The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and has a nice atmosphere. It feels like one of those places where you'd meet up with friends, relax, and chat for a while. Visually, it makes a great first impression. The food, however, was average. I ordered the Best Avocado Toast, and while it wasn't bad, it's hard to justify the price. At the end of the day, it's avocado on toast, and I've honestly had more flavorful versions elsewhere for less money. The smoked salmon toast was also underwhelming. The salmon surprisingly lacked much of that smoky flavor, and the bread felt thicker than the toppings themselves, making the balance a little off. The shrimp Tom Yum soup was probably my biggest disappointment. At $14, I expected something with bold, authentic flavors. Instead, it tasted fairly basic. It had the citrusy notes you'd expect, but it was sweeter than I prefer, likely because of the amount of cherry tomatoes used. The service is where things became frustrating. We waited around 20 minutes before our order was taken, then roughly another 30 minutes before food started coming out. What made it more frustrating was that everything arrived at completely different times. The matcha latte came first, then the Tom Yum soup, and it was another 20 minutes before the rest of the entrées arrived. We ended up waiting so everyone could eat together instead of one person eating while everyone else watched. Normally I don't mind waiting if a restaurant is busy, but based on many of the Yelp reviews, this doesn't seem like a one-time occurrence. A common theme is that there's only one server running the dining room. Our waitress was friendly and polite, but she was clearly overwhelmed, juggling six or more tables by herself. I don't blame her--I blame the staffing. At one point I even watched someone wait over 30 minutes for two specialty drinks because the server was busy with other tables. That really summed up the experience. If the food had completely blown me away, I could overlook the long wait. Unfortunately, the flavors were simply average, so the overall experience didn't justify the prices or the time spent waiting. Would I come back? Probably not. I'm glad I gave it a try because it's a nice-looking café, but with average food, premium prices, and consistently slow service, there just wasn't enough to make me want to return.

    Pretty cute cafe that offers a large variety of Asian dishes! I only tried Thai dishes this time. I ordered Pad See Ew, Panang curry, and Khao Soi Chicken. Everything was good but a little pricey. However, I'm glad a place like this exists for the community. I would love to try the shaved ice (bingsoo) next time. Parking: available in a parking lot and additional parking in an underground garage.

    My friend and I came here for lunch and were pleasantly surprised! The whole menu looks pretty good and feels very fusion. We got the Crispy Shrimp Wontons and I got the Panang Curry. The wontons were super crispy and I loved the flavor of the curry. I finished the whole thing in one sitting! Service was pretty quick and the interior is cute. Definitely want to try some of their other more brunch like dishes.

As far as decoration and space, I like the El Segundo location better. Also, the cocktails were well balanced and refreshing. Additionally, the staff from hostess to our server and busser were all amiable and professional. The downside was the food, which is the most important thing for the restaurant and determines if I will come back. I used to be so delighted at the flavors and creative little twists at Little Sister. However, the food these past two visits to Little Sister was basic at best. For example, we ordered the papaya salad and there was no flavors as in no dressing. We ordered the short ribs and the flavor was uneven and bland in 2/3rd of the meat and the noodles were also dry. Even their famous garlic noodle and crepe was too soggy and even bitter (overcooked ingredients). I was with good friends and with the cocktails, we still had a fun night but was very disappointed at the food has really gone down in the past few years. The sad thing is the quality of the ingredients was not the issue. Seems like the prep and execution has gotten lax and lazy and it really felt like the kitchen was phoning it in. I am still giving it a 3 stars instead of less stars to wish them improvement. The fried rice with prawns and imperial rolls still holds up. And due to their service staff, I cannot give them less. These days, it is hard for restaurants to get professional and decent staff so please appreciate them.

That said, the food was average at best, and there were a few things that really stood out. My biggest gripe is the $3 charge for rice. Even when ordering a curry, rice does not come with the meal, you have to pay extra for it. I honestly don't understand that. How are you supposed to eat curry without rice? The Thai shumai with chicken and shrimp was disappointing. The dumplings were dry, the wrappers felt dried out, and the vinegar dipping sauce lacked much flavor. The spring rolls were actually good and tasted fresh. Just keep in mind that shrimp is an extra $1 and doesn't automatically come with them. The peanut sauce was also different from the traditional Thai-style peanut sauce I was expecting. The green curry was okay. It came with a generous amount of chicken and vegetables, but unfortunately the chicken was pretty chewy. For me, the Penang curry was the best dish of the meal. It was flavorful overall, although I think it could have used a little more salt. Overall, if you're looking for mid-tier Thai food, you found it at Garden Thai. But personally, I'd save my money and go up the street to Kin D. I found the food to be better there, and rice actually comes with the curry--which, in my opinion, just makes sense.
