    TK - Master Chef Pad Thai
    Colin Y.

    Very Thai is easily my favorite restaurant in Century City. The shrimp toast was crispy, savory, and incredibly addictive, while the red curry was rich, fragrant, and full of flavor. The Shrimp Pad Thai was also excellent, with a great balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. And the strawberry ice cream was refreshing and a nice way to finish the meal. A lot of the dishes are perfect for sharing, so I highly recommend coming with a big group so you can order a variety and try as much of the menu as possible.

    TK - Green Curry Chicken
    Meghan T.

    Very Thai is a newer addition to Century City, so we had to give it a try. The smell when you enter the restaurant is simply intoxicating. It's a pricier spot for Thai food and the portions aren't huge, but the flavors were solid. We got the green curry chicken at the lower spice level. It was still super flavorful and had the perfect hint of spice. Honestly one of the best green curries I've had. We also got the master chef pad Thai with shrimp only. The shrimp had a beautiful flavor, and I really enjoyed the balance of sweet and savory. The pad Thai was a good portion size compared to the curry, but the curry was definitely the star. Would definitely come again!

    I been to many Thai Restaurants and this place is above standard. Although, I was little disappointed they don't have PAD SEE EW one of my fave, their PAD THAI fully made up for it. Highly recommend you get the PAD THAI AND the pineapple fried rice, but I actually really liked the COFFEE RIBS , Yes coffee ! The meat was fall off the bone, not a Thai dish classic I know, but so worth trying !!! Maybe I'm biased because I love COFFEE and drink it everyday, but it was saucey and really unique and delicious. Papaya salad and the green curry chicken was great too but I will say those have much smaller portions lol. Great service. Beautiful vibe, I think this place is like the levelled up Thai version of DING TAI FUNG imo. I like being able to see the kitchen working on the food.

    Yellow Curry Grilled Chicken
    Julissa R.

    Very Thai is an aesthetic restaurant with an eye catching red interior and beautiful lampshades adorning the space. For starters, I ordered the papaya salad with mango. The papaya salad was very refreshing. It was one of the best I've had. Next, I enjoyed the yellow curry grilled chicken. The chicken thigh was cooked to perfection and simmered in the curry. The roti was buttery, flaky, and a delicious accompaniment. Sam was a wonderful server. He made sure we had everything we needed and more. He was great with attention to detail and recommendations.

    Pad Thai, green curry and Grilled Pork Jowl with Lime Sauce
    May P.

    Pretty good Thai food at Westfield Century! I tried the green curry, pad Thai, and grilled pork neck with dipping sauce. Overall, everything was pretty good, and I'd give it 4/5. Since I'm Thai, I'm very familiar with authentic Thai flavors, so I felt the dishes were a little more toned down and not quite like the original Thai taste. That said, everything was still enjoyable and definitely worth trying! The atmosphere was nice and comfortable, and the prices were reasonable for the location. The service was also good. One thing that would make the experience even better would be parking validation for customers. Since it's inside Westfield Century City, having parking validation would be a nice perk and much more convenient for customers. Overall, a solid spot when you're craving Thai food while shopping at the mall.

    A little conflicted because the food is genuinely good, but so expensive for what it is. Our bill for two was almost $200. It's good, but it's just normal thai food. The wings are $18, after tax and tip they're $24. The wings are tiny, and you only get six, which means you're paying $4 per tiny little wing. The shrimp pancake is good, but comes out to $32 after tax and tip, and it probably costs them $2 in food costs... The wagyu bowl is a thin layer of beef over a lot of rice. The chicken curry has a lot of protein though. Again, it's all very good, but not worth the price. I would rather drop an extra $150 and go to a fancy restaurant than pay for this again.

    Shrimp mooncake, Master Chef Pad Thai, Green beans
    Vivian Q.

    Had a great dinner here. Started with their signature shrimp mooncake, which is similar to shrimp toast except with a thinner crispy outer crepe - the accompanying plum sauce was the perfect sweetness. The Master Chef Pad Thai was delicious, with an interesting sweet flavor to the sauce. And we enjoyed the green beans as well - great garlic flavor, fresh and crunchy beans. Service was a standout feature - exceptionally friendly and attentive. The environment is spacious and welcoming.

    FOOD ABSOLUTELY DIVINE! my friend and i visited on a friday night and requested for seats at the full service bar so that we didn't need to wait an hour long for a table. between the 2 of us, we split 3 items family style. 01. COFFEE RIBS: marinated ribs glazed in a rich coffee sauce & caramelized ($28) 10/10!!! you smell it before you see it! the scent of coffee is strong enough for the diner sitting two seats away to smell it. the meat easily falls off the bone and the rich flavor of coffee is present in every, single bite. this is definitely best enjoyed right away, while it's hot! i would return for this dish alone again and again. 02. GREEN CURRY WINGS: 5 pc chicken wings, fried with eggplant, green curry, & basil ($18) 7.5/10! flavorful with the slightest kick~ crispy on the outside, tender & steaming hot on the inside! 03. CRISPY PAD THAI: stir-fried with shrimp, tofu, & special sauce ($24) 8.5/10! this dish was such a fun deconstruction and reinterpretation of pad thai! i enjoyed the added crispy texture and appreciated how the overall dish was not too greasy. AMBIANCE perfect for a girls' night or a date night! with an interior painted all red and furniture with soft curves, the space feels moody and elevated yet inviting.

    We really enjoyed the food and had a great experience overall, but unfortunately I got pretty sick after our dinner. We ordered the Pad Thai, basil tomato pork, curry fried chicken wings, and coconut vanilla ice cream, and everything tasted great. We ate there on 10/2 around 5-6 PM. About an hour later, I started having diarrhea and felt extremely weak and achy, and later that night I had a slight fever. The diarrhea continued into the next day. Of course, I can't know for sure if it was from the food, but I've never had a reaction like this after eating out before. I just wanted to share my experience and hopefully the restaurant can double-check their food handling and kitchen safety. It's a shame because we really did enjoy the food.

    We went on Friday evening and the place was completely packed. As there were quite a few of us, we ordered all the appetisers and recommended dishes. Surprisingly, there wasn't a single disappointing dish -- everything was absolutely delicious! I personally can't handle very spicy food, but apart from the chicken wings being a little hot, everything else was perfect. The service was also very good, and I'd definitely go back again. Parking at the shopping centre is free for one hour. To get three hours free, you need to spend $10 at Gelson's or see a film at AMC and then have your parking ticket validated.

    This place is on the 2nd floor of Westfield Century City. For the most part, everything we ordered was delicious! I only have 2 negative comments... The Grilled Cod in Banana Leave was far too salty. That was the only complaint about the food. In regards to the menu, apparently they only have a few flavors of ice cream for dessert. We would have been all over a mango sticky rice! HIGHLY recommend the Massaman Beef Curry and the Crispy Pad Thai!

    CRISPY PAD THAI
    Tiffany Q.

    With a reservation for two on a weekday, we were seated right away and the service was prompt throughout our meal. My friend and I shared three dishes: the green papaya corn salad, the grilled pork jowl with lime sauce, and the crispy pad thai. The standout was definitely the grilled pork jowl. It was incredibly tender, and the lime sauce was so good I could've honestly drank it lol. This is such a great addition to the mall. I'll definitely be stopping by again whenever I'm in the area for lunch or dinner.

    Finally got to try this place in the Century City Mall where the old CPK was. It's a modern upscale casual ambiance. The server was top notch. She recommended dishes and checked back several times. The front desk wasn't very friendly though. Neither of them smiled or were warm. The food is very good. I'd say it's more of a Thai fusion. The standout was the Spicy Eggplant. It had fresh basil and garlic and the sauce was almost like a Chinese flavor. It was very good. I hope they make a homemade Mango Sticky Rice dessert or something soon. At this time, their only desserts were AMAN brand coconut milk ice cream, which is good but not "very Thai".

The waitress was taking our orders and what surprised me was with my co-worker ordered the pad see ew and the waitress asked her how spicy she wants it. I was aw shocked. I'm not a Thai food expert but I do know pad see ew is a noodles dish that's offers a sweet soy sauce flavor. Never served spicy. I didn't get to try the dish but when I asked my co worker how it taste she said it was spicy and not sweet at all. I'm not sure that was an authentic pad see ew. I ordered from the lunch menu and got the tumeric chicken, with steamed vegetables and paid extra $7 to substitute for a papaya salad. I asked for #2 spice level but it was not spicy at all. Other co workers said they asked for medium but it was way too spicy. So it looks like their spicy levels are inconsistent. I'm not sure how this restaurant can justify the prices with the quality they are serving. Probably won't be back. Service was mediocre. Didn't offer to refill our waters.
