My family and I love this restaurant! We found it on tik tok or instagram and we had to try it. We love ochas in LA but honestly this has become our new Thai staple. All the food is sooo good and fresh ! I love the fish sauce with the soup. It's pretty small a total hole in the wall but it's the best! The service is good too but it just depends how busy they are, because they get BUSY! But in all I love this place Definitely come and give it a try. Just ignore the B read more

Came here because I've been to the Hollywood location and really liked it. The rice tasted just as good as over there, and the soup and wontons were solid too. The noodles were decent but felt like they needed a little more flavor. The biggest downside was the wait time. There wasn't really a crowd, but we still waited about 40 minutes for the food while only having the soup at the table. It kind of took away from the experience. Overall, the food was good, but for around $95 for just a few dishes, it did feel a bit overpriced to me. Not bad, but I was expecting a smoother experience for the price. read more

Was in the neighborhood and looking for some Thai and decided to try Vim Thai. On a Sunday evening the place was filled as it is a small spot so I ordered to go. The staff were very sweet and the order took about 15 minutes. The food is just what I was looking for. Huge portions to share. Literal pounds of food and spicy condiments with flavor. Yum! So happy to have found another Thai food spot. read more

Vim Thai Restaurant - Pad See Ew with beef - Thai Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

See all

The food is great and the service is good. I love placing phone orders if I'm in a rush.

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. read more

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. read more

Vim Thai Restaurant - Chow mein combination, beef broccoli, spicy seafood soup, steam rice - Thai Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

Food was pretty good and it was a calm ambiance for your eating experience. I gave them 5 stars for the service more than anything.

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. read more

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. read more

The pad kew mow was horrible, there was like 7 noodles and very dry meat, it tasted like meat substitute it was really bad. The fried rice was pretty good and the thai tea was good. I also got the fried shrimp that was pretty good, the sauce they gave me with the shrimp was good. Overall it was not that great. read more

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. read more

Omg!!! I have been living in pico for 20 years!!! And have been looking for a Thai restaurant like VIM but non of them compare!!! I used to go to VIM when I was growing up in LA!! I'm so so grateful they opened one up in my town!!!! Highly recommend it!!! Staff is very friendly and attentive! The food tastes just how I remembered it! The pad Thai color changed but the flavor is still the same !! I had the seafood soup no mussel, combination fried rice, shrimp pad tai , beef and chili onions!! Man I loved everything!!! The ambiance was peaceful and the decorations were nice read more

The food was amazing. I was raised in LA, and Ocha was always our go to Thai spot. We recently moved to Downey, and I honestly wasn't about to drive all the way back to LA just for Thai food. I came across this restaurant on TikTok and decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. Everything was so good. The soup was actually better than Ocha (I had to say it), and the broccoli beef wasn't soggy at all, unlike the last time I went to Ocha. I really don't understand what some of these negative reviews are complaining about. We were very impressed and will definitely be returning. read more

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. read more

Vim's is not just my favorite Thai place--it's a lifestyle choice. I used to drive over an hour (yes, ONE WAY) at least twice a month just to eat here, and I would do it again without hesitation. That's how good this place is. Now I'm lucky enough to go once a week with my son, which feels like the universe finally rewarding me. Ambiance check since Yelp cares: it's a bit bright but not blinding, clean, simple, and comfy--same chill, modern energy as places you actually want to sit and enjoy your food in. THE SEAFOOD SOUP. Listen. This soup is the reason. I don't know if it's the fire that keeps it lava-hot, or the lemon flavor sent straight from heaven, but it is absolute magic. Life-changing. Spiritual. Order it. Everything else? Also amazing. The rice, pad thai, beef dishes, BBQ beef/chicken/pork--flavor on flavor on flavor. And the chili oil?? It HURTS. But in the best way. It will try to end you and you'll thank it for the experience. This place is deeply nostalgic for me--I used to come almost every Sunday with my family growing up. Now I'm here making new memories with my son, and honestly? Vim's holds a strong, unshakeable #1 spot in my heart. Some restaurants are just food. This one is home. read more

Pad Thai with pork was food with no flavor and the noodles were yuk!. I didn't think pad Thai could be that horrible. My dogs are happy though. Won't be going back. Boo hoo. Can't find good food in the hood read more

Service is horrible. We were there 10 minutes and were a party of 2, they got the other parties orders before ours, and when I got up to leave the server blocked the door with the dish cart, and insisted we stay and would put our order first. read more

So glad this location opened up. It's a lot closer to home and the food always hits. The spicy seafood soup is a must try! Service was quick and attentive. This location is smaller, BUT is a lot more upgraded compared to the other two. Not to mention they accept card! Hollywood location only accepts cash. read more

I'm not going to lie. I didn't really like the shrimp chow mein .It's not bad but I had way better. Really thin noodles and not much flavor. They only add 5 medium shrimps. That's very disappointing. I'll go back to try padseew or pad Thai. Overall 3.5/5. read more

Entering Vim Thai Restaurant, you can see a set of booths and tables to sit at. I was welcomed in by the waiter, and I asked about takeout. There is that option available, and after perusing their menu, I saw a Thai staple available: pad see ew. I decided to go with a beef pad see ew, with no pressure to upsell anything. The wait was said to be close to 20 minutes, but in less than 10 my meal was ready to go! Upon arriving, the food was still warm (10 minute drive) but sadly did not have a good flavor. The Chinese broccoli was quite bitter and the noodles were bland. The beef was okay, but was not marinated with the sauce you would expect with this dish. While the price is in line with other Thai restaurants, I was disappointed with this meal, and I will take some time before trying them again. read more
