66. Cashew Nut

Literally the most authentic Thai curries you'll ever have outside of Thailand and deliciously authentic rice dishes too. It's a family run spot that I've been coming to for 15+ years now! Every time I take a bite of this food it reminds me of being in Thailand. The service is always fast at Wiring Thai and the ambiance is so cozy, plus it's a great bargain for the quality. The only thing is, their noodle dishes aren't the best, for that I would recommend Emporium Thai in Westwood, but the curry and rice dishes are better here :)

Yellow curry lunch special with egg roll and salad.

I'm sad to give only 2 stars bc I have been ordering from them for years but I recently received a takeout order that had ants on my food & in the container. It had never happened to me there before (that I'm aware of); I always had a great experience w them. They offered to refund my purchase or remake it for me (which is why I didn't give fewer stars) but I obviously went w the former bc I was turned off. Normally, I wouldn't throw a place that I loved under the bus like this bc I'm hoping that it was just a fluke, but I feel like I could've easily missed the ants if I hadn't looked at the food right away. There were only 2 ants (but even 1 ant is unacceptable), 1 was dead & the other alive. The ant that was crawling around inside could have potentially crawled out before I saw it as it was headed towards the edge of the lining paper. The other ant was dead on the egg roll and I probably would have dusted it off thinking it was a tiny piece of charred food or something & eaten the roll if I had not seen the live ant crawling moments before. Check the pics & you'll see what I mean lol. Makes me wonder how many times people have eaten something in their food that shouldn't be there bc they didn't know was there. Thank GOD I saw the live ant before it crawled all the way out of the box or further inside the food I mainly want to bring to people's attention that they should always check their food right away because you never know... the places you love the most can sometimes not be what they always seem to be. Also good for the restaurant to know too bc they're probably so used to being such a beloved & reputable place that they somehow let this slip by. Sorry, one more thing... to the sweet, old gentleman there who handed me my food: please quit smoking cigarettes! It's bad for you It smelled really really strong as I was grabbing my food from you. It's not a pleasant scent.

People here couldn't be any nicer--they're incredibly attentive and genuinely kind. The food is thoughtfully prepared, fresh, and authentic. Surprisingly very reasonably priced. Everything we tried was delicious! My favorite was the Thai Glass Noodle Salad - Yum Woon Sen - my go to dish. It had a perfect balance of lime acidity, and saltiness with crunchy fresh vegetables. We also enjoyed (I know it's not so Thai authentic) Orange Chicken. It was crispy and not too gooey sweet. Curries were amazing too. We will definitely be back!

Wirin Thai has some of the best Thai food you will find in the City and for a super reasonable price. It is a little place with only a few booths. Most people either have their food delivered or they call and pick up, but we love eating there. Because most people do take away, there is usually a place to sit in this little gem. Don't let the exterior fool you. It had the cutest cat mural on it and some idiots decided to tag it and the sign. This little place has been struggling since Covid and they are not going to put money right now into replacing the sign, which was so nice. The service is just great. Everyone is so nice. This is a family owned business. They have a great menu and their lunch specials are great. There is nothing we have had there that we don't like and I think we have pretty well completed the menu. They have these great egg rolls with shrimp, and they are not little Bay shrimp, but nice big shrimp stuffed into an eggroll. Their Pad Thai is amazing and we really love their BBQ duck rice. All the soups are good. You will love this place. Parking is on the street and you will find a spot. It is little, so don't miss it, right on the corner of Venice Blvd. and Lincoln in Venice, CA. Try it.

The regular menu is quite expensive with the cheapest at $17 for appetizer and salad options and most expensive at a whooping $80. The lunch menu was more affordable but still on the pricey side $21-$32 with add on options. 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. Parking is metered parking or paid lot.

Ambience: I came a Friday after work and it was not busy at all. I enjoyed it. The elderly woman…read morerunning the front (Tang) was sweet, inviting and welcoming in a genuine way. I felt like I came to eat and my mom's house. They take Debit Card and Apple Pay WITH a pin only. I forgot my wallet and paid with Apple Pay. It did not have a place for tip which made me feel awful. At the end I apologized and she was like "it's ok, next time." And she was genuinely fine with it. She reassured me not to worry about it. So I'm determined to come back to tip her because if anybody deserved a tip it was her. I ordered Pad Thai with tofu- I like to order peanut sauce on the side and the woman found it interesting and struck a non judgmental conversion about it. I could really tell she was genuinely curious. This was my favorite dish. It was good. I also ordered spicy fried rice with tofu and spicy panang curry with vegetables. I chose 4 out of a 6 for spicy and it was not spicy at all for me. The rice was fine, nothing extraordinary and nothing bad. The panang curry was yummy. I don't know if it's regional but it was very light in taste and light in thickness. BUT I enjoyed it for what it was. Felt like I had gotten home made chicken soup or something like that comforting and not overly processed. Maybe it's because I ordered it with no protein and just vegetables. I ordered a lot of food so I explained to her that I was going to eat some and take the rest to go. When she brought the food she brought it nicely packed without a bag. She also brought me a real plate and utensils to eat here. She let me know that when I was ready she'd bring a bag which I thought was thoughtful. She also made sure to say "take your time, no need to rush. We close at 8" and it was 5pm. Again, it felt genuinely nurturing, she wanted to make sure I felt taken care of and welcomed. It meant a lot because I was frazzled from forgetting my wallet and from having a hard day at work. This was my first time here and it won't be my last. There is a small lot on site. Prices were very reasonable.

Moo ping (sweet pork skewers street style) was good but not the best in LA (I like the one at Rosemead/Pas President Thai). Khao soi with chicken drumstick is delicious and filling. Hoy Ka noodles (dry, pork) is nice and a sweet balance to the spicier options I got. Cat fish with chili paste also good but note it is spicy. I love that it comes with generous portion of flash fried basil. You have to order a side of white rice since it only comes à la carte and I wouldn't recommend eating it alone!

This place is by far my favorite Thai restaurant and that's why it's so disheartening to write this…read morereview. I have written at least 2 glowing reviews of the restaurant in the past and wish this could be one of them, but it's not. Over the last 4-5 days I have tried no less than 2 dozen times to call the restaurant during proper business hours to order food for pick-up as I often do. The phone rang and rang to no avail. I live too far from the restaurant to just pop up and place an order so I rely on calling ahead. I have been a customer of this restaurant for at least the last 9 years and have almost never had the aforementioned experience. Though I do recall not being able to get a call through several times on one or two occasions in the relatively distant past. Today I was finally able to get a call through and began placing my order which includes shrimp. I ALWAYS request the tail (with shells) to be removed from the shrimp as I find it quite difficult to enjoy my meal if I'm constantly having to pick off shells with my hands. It's unsanitary and messy. Removing the tails from 15-20 shrimp prior to adding to an entree or soup should take no more than 60 seconds and that's if one is moving at a glacial pace. However, today I was told that the kitchen was too busy to honor my request. I assured the lady taking my order than I was a loyal customer and make this request will every order I place and it is always honored. She repeated her claim that the kitchen was too busy and refused to do it. I cancelled my order and ended the call. Now I usually order food from the restaurant 4-5 times a month and usually spend about $65 each time not including tip. That is approximately $325 per month of my hard earned money that I give to this restaurant in exchange for great food and service. I am appalled and quite upset that having been a loyal customer for almost a decade and spending as much money there as I do per month that they could at least honor my patronage by simply taking an additional 60 seconds in the kitchen to make my meal more enjoyable. Her refusal to do such a minuscule task has deeply soured my experience with Hoy-Ka not to mention the fact that I could not reach the restaurant for almost a week by phone for no apparent reason. I will not be going back to this restaurant until they rectify this situation.

Each time I've come the waitstaff has been super friendly, and the food amazing. So, when planning a little birthday lunch for my mom's 81st birthday, this was one of the first places I thought of. My mom lives in south LA and we live in the valley, so after picking her up, we wouldn't have to travel far to eat. Although we planned to arrive to the restaurant at 2, traffic was horrible and we arrived at 230pm. After looking for parking, I dropped the fam off at 2:40 so they could sit and look at the menu while I found parking. I get a text from my husband saying they closed at 3 so hurry. This was news to me, as I thought they closed at 5. I found parking and rushed in at 2:48, to see my family outside the restaurant. Perplexed, I went in to ask if we could still eat, as it wasn't yet 3pm. No wait staff came to the front to greet me, so I walked in a bit and asked the waiter if it was okay to eat. The waiter said we close in ten. I said I thought the website said you closed at 5. I must have read it wrong. I understand, but it's not 3 and we came a bit of a distance and it's my mom's 81st birthday. The waiter, whose name is Jack, offered to ask the kitchen if they would still make food. I said yes please would you ask? While Jack was asking, another waiter asked me if I had been helped. I told him yes, that Jack was asking the kitchen if we could still have lunch. This waiter says, we're closing in 10. I'd like to have lunch too. And walks away. Yes, with shade. Jack returns and says it's fine as long as we can order within a few minutes of getting the menu. I say great and we all come in. The 2nd waiter takes our order with the least amount of personality he possibly can, and the whole lunch is slightly awkward and we're not able to truly enjoy ourselves with the feeling of "we better hurry up and eat" lingering. By the time we ordered and received our food (which was delicious as usual) , there were still 4 other groups of customers there, and we actually left the restaurant within a minute or two after the last customers before us. Also, no one came around to ask how our food was and if we needed anything. I'm giving 3 stars because this experience didn't quite sit right with me. Yes, it was near closing, but your doors weren't closed and there was no sign saying last call/order at 2:45 or anything like that. I feel like once the kitchen approved making our lunch, customer service should have been at its peak for paying customers, who gave no attitude and tried to be as polite with the ask as possible. It was not. I still tipped 25%, because Jack (waiter 1) was polite and my 81 old mama who I was celebrating raised me that way, but I'm not sure I'll patronize them again.

After one meal, this is already one of the best Thai spots I've tried in LA!…read more Came with friends and ordered a bunch of dishes, and every single plate was ridiculously delicious. The Pad Thai was the best I've had outside of Thailand. Extremely well balanced, not too sweet, not too tangy, not drowning in sauce, just perfectly done with great noodle texture and loaded with shrimp. The Pad Kee Mao was so flavorful. Smoky, spicy, full of flavor, and had that proper "wok hei" char that makes noodles addictive. The Pad See Ew was equally rich and savory, and deeply satisfying. We also got the turnip omelette (Kai Jeow with preserved radish) and it blew my mind, honestly. It is so simple, but packed with flavor. Somehow one of the best egg dishes I've ever had. The morning glory with pork was another standout, super fresh, garlicky, and cooked perfectly. Everything came out hot, portions were generous, and the whole table went silent because the food is too good to talk through lol. On top of that, the servers were super nice, friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better despite how busy it was :) Packed restaurant, amazing energy, AMAZING food. This place just ruined average Thai food for me. Already thinking about when I'm going back!!!

I really wish I can love this place but it's really disappointing. What once was known as the best…read moreThai food in LA, is no longer the case. We got the raw shrimp salad, spicy catfish and bbq pork over rice. The raw shrimp "salad" is probably the best thing we've ate, but the chili sauce was over powering and couldn't really taste the freshness of the shrimp. And I feel like there could've been saw garlic to go along with it, but nope, just decorative cabbages that is not edible. As for the bbq pork over rice, the sausage was good and the crispy pork too. But the BBQ pork itself was HORRIBLE I literally spit it out. It tasted like old refrigerated dry meat, barely edible. And then the spicy catfish, the portion was so small, it looked like someone ate half of it. The pieces very tiny and it was so dry it tasted like it was refried. The spicy sauce didn't help much. And I overheard the table next to us waited around 30 mins for their dishes. Overall, I'll not be coming back here. There are much better Thai spots than this. Not to mention the parking is horrible as it was valet only on a Saturday.
