    Thai pink milk
    Ling L.

    The 1 star is for the food. The pad Thai tasted super gross. It was mushy and...orange (like the orange shorbet color.). Chicken was sliced thin and overcooked, dry and chewy. I never seen a pad Thai that looks so artificial like that. The flavor was bland. It was served on a tiny plate or maybe the portion is big...it doesn't leave much space for mixing the bean sprouts. The restaurant set up is decent/clean but what the point if the food is not good? First time and last time going to this place. If you can't make a decent pad Thai....skeptical how other items will taste like.

    The food was very delicious! We've always gone to the location in Hollywood but finally they open one close by me! It is small and there has been minor wait times but definitely worth the wait. Food and staff service is great! This location has earned a loyal customer

    Beef pad see ew

    Tried this spot on a sunday afternoon. It was pretty busy, but we got a table right away. The place itself was nice and it was great that it's in a lot with lots of parking. The plates are pretty good portions, and the prices are pretty typical. The papaya salad was crunchy and had great flavor. The pad see ew was ok, for me it lacked a bit of flavor. The BBQ beef was a bit tough, but the dipping sauce really made the dish even better. The ambiance is pretty casual and service is great. Very attentive and helpful employees.

    Here at this location 2nd time around. Unfortunately they did not have pad see ew at the time we ordered & the young man did not say why. We ordered shrimp pad Thai, shrimp fried rice, steam rice, spicy seafood soup & chicken satay appetizer. This time around they took quite a while to bring our soup out & we received it last. That should always be out 1st! Also, asked for our hot tea to go & he gave us a plastic cup (‍) uh okaaay it's not going to melt the plastic & burn us but, brought it to his attention & he was confused, he exchanged it for a soup container to go ‍(little better) service was 4/10 this time around.

    BBQ Beef with chili sauce

    I have been waiting for a Thai restaurant to open in this area and when I saw they were finally open I was excited to try ASAP! I went on a Weds night for dinner and was seated immediately. The menu was large with images of certain items so that was helpful to get a visualization of items you may not have had or heard of. - Pad Thai (not ayutthaya) was SPICY! I ordered it with fried tofu. Tofu was delicious- soft in the center and crispy edges. - Squid Salad not quite sour enough so I asked for more lime which did the trick. The squid was tender and not over cooked, paired well with the red onions and cilantro and mushrooms. - BBQ Beef had a nice smokey flavor, beef was a bit over cooked. The chili sauce that came as a dipping sauce was spicy, sour and delicious! - Pineapple Fried Rice was meh to me. Reminded me of a Chinese style fried rice with Chinese sausage. Large chunks of pineapple but felt like it was missing cashews and raisins . Maybe I am used to it being cooked differently. Service was really good, loved the condiments (spicy vinegar, fish sauce and was able to try the chili oil). Beer is on the menu but they didn't have any at the time, not sure if it's because they haven't gotten their liquor licenses? Parking can be a bit difficult since the parking lot is small and tight but there is plenty of street parking.

    Look at those vegetables they were going bad already and still put them on a dish. Disgusting

    So far the worst Thai food I've ever eaten. ITS BAD BAD BAD. I stopped by on my way to work to buy lunch and I'm totally disappointed. I got a soup, some noodles and a side of white rice. Let me tell you the only item that wasn't bad was the steamed rice. The soup was missing that herbal flavor characteristic of the Thai food and the noodles are the worst. Way overcooked and no flavor at old, not even enough salt/soy sauce to get the right salty flavor and let's not talk about the shrimp, is tastes like NO FLAVOR AT ALL and the whole dish smells like raw seafood. Totally disgusting . Only reason why I didn't go back and return it it's cuz I was late for work. Who tf told this people they cook good enough to sell it. THE WORSE MEAL EVER. So disgusted, disappointed and a total waste of my $47.62 dollars. Vim Thai Restaurant do the right thing and give me my money back.

    Ordered the combination Pad see ew. There were only two shrimp in the whole dish which is supposed to be a family style serving. Very little of the beef and chicken as well, it was mostly all noodles. Also I'm not sure why they only put the broccoli stems and not the heads? For the price they charge $18 plus tax not worth it. Paying $20 for noodles basically.

    I ordered the Pad Thai and Yellow Curry, and both completely hit the mark…read more The Pad Thai is high-quality and very traditional--the noodles have that perfect chewy texture and a great sweet-and-tangy tamarind flavor without being overly sweet. The Yellow Curry is pure comfort food; the broth is incredibly rich, smooth, and aromatic, with perfectly cooked potatoes and veggies. On top of the great taste, the portion sizes are very generous. You definitely get your money's worth here, with plenty of food to leave you full (and probably take some home). Will definitely be ordering from here again! Highly recommend.

    This place has been around for years, but it's my first time trying it…read more Ong Choy: really love the way the Ong Choy is made, it's not too salty and oily. It's flavorful and Ong Choy is nice and crunchy. Definitely a great vegetable selection. Pad Thai: the sauce is way too heavy and sweet. We didn't enjoy this as much as we thought we would. The first taste was good, but the more you have the saltier/sweeter it gets. The lime juice didn't lighten things up either. Don't really recommend it. Crab fried rice: there's a good amount of crab and egg in this dish. The rice is on the softer side, it's not dry and hard like most fried rice. We still enjoy it, the texture of the rice didn't kill the flavor of it. The flavor is very balanced, but quite oily. Tom yum seafood soup: There's a good amount of seafood in this soup. The flavor (sweet and sour) is well balanced. Sweet rice with mango: A great dessert option to finish the meal. It is not overly sweet. I'm not a fan of coconut, but the coconut is not distinctly sweet and overwhelming (so I was able to have some). The sweet rice is chewy and warm when served. And the mango is perfectly ripe and sweet. Definitely recommend it. The service was outstanding! The restaurant decoration is very traditional and unique. They are quite busy when we arrived on a Sunday night. I would give this place an overall 3.5/5 because they can definitely work on some of the dishes.

We were there at 11:30 am, my sister in law does takeout from this place often for dinner but it was her first time dining in for lunch, and it was my mom's first time too. We ordered my sister in laws favs from the regular menu, but they have a nice good deal lunch menu too... We ordered: *Thai iced coffee 4/5 (too much ice, but nice strong coffee flavor). Condensed milk separation so stir it or blow gentle bubbles thru the straw to mix... *Drunken noodles, great flavor great inviting smell but the portion was good for two, harder to share for three/four. Probably bec it's served on a plate not a platter. 5/5 for flavor. *Loved the chili basil eggplant with deep fried tofu, nice flavor, could really taste the Thai basil, the fried tofu was kinda dry so slightly overcooked. 4/5 for yumminess. We'll be back to try the lunch menu. Comfortable low key place to dine in.

I moved to the SGV a little over a year ago and I have been sorely disappointed by offerings this nook of LA county has to offer *ahem banana bay*. I found myself driving to the SFV or Thai Town whenever I was too lazy to cook Thai food on my own. I decided to take a gamble with this restaurant and I am so very glad that I did. It's so good and authentic that I have come out of yelp retirement (Yelp Elite 2016-2020) to leave this review. I ordered four things as take out: Issan Sausage, Pad Kra Pow Minced Chicken, Spicy Fried Crispy Cat Fish, and Drunken Noodles. I was told that they were out of the Kra Pow Century Egg and stewed pork leg over rice. Hopefully, I'll get to try it next time! Issan Sausage: Good portions. Flavor is very good, a little sour, a little salty, and a hint of sweetness. I think the flavors could be a bit more bold with the sour but overall the flavors profile is as it should be. Frying it also added a nice crispiness to it. Spicy Fried crispy Catfish: Flavors were really good. Sweet foods is typically not usually in my flavor profile, but this is one of the few sweet entrees I actually like. Catfish can be a bit more fried but that is moreso a preference on my part. Drunken Noodle Beef: Good char on the noodles. Flavor was really good as well. Not that much beef but the star of the show are the noodles. I was a tad confused on the egg in my drunken noodle but to each their own. I would probably order it without the egg next time because it does change the texture a bit. Pad Kra Pow Minced Chicken: Now here's where it gets interesting! Tantawan actually uses holy basil (Kra Pow). It's harder to find but it has a very distinct flavor that Thai-American cuisine has for the most part substituted due to scarcity with Thai Basil (Horapha). I don't think you can get more authentic than actually using the right herb. Funnily enough, I think it can throw off people that have never had authentic Kra Pow as my partner said it tasted herbally. Thai food can be very hit and miss even among the Thai community as we all have different preferences when it comes to the holy trinity of sweet, salty, and sour. I am personally on the spectrum of sweet should be hinted at and never the forward flavor. Tantawan with the dishes I ordered definitely held to my flavor profile. Very well cooked and good flavor profile. I didn't have to add any seasoning as everything was cooked just right. I called my take out in and they said it would be ready in 20 and it was when I arrived. Even as the food sat in my passenger seat as I drove home I could tell from the smell emanating from the take-out bag that the food was going to be good. Quick and courteous service!
