“ Very large portions (had the pad kee mao) , and the prices are reasonable too considering the area. Would return and try a different menu item ”
“ Even coming back 7 years later, the pad thai is still just as chewy and delicious as I remember it. Prices have increased to $12 for pad thai, but each takeout box is at least 5 pounds. Big portions as always! Inflation elsewhere has made everything incredibly expensive, so it's refreshing to see prices like this. Food came out quickly too. ”
“ My favorite vegan Thai in LA! It's so flavorful and fresh and I love that I can take it to go. The Pad Thai was my favorite. ”
“ I took my food to go, so I can't say much about the ambiance rather than the place being pretty small/having limited seating and you having to come and get your food once it's ready (you don't have a server bring it to you). Wait time - I went on a Thursday and ordered ahead through grubhub, and still had to wait around 40 minutes to get my food (I didn't have a big order either). I have a feeling they forgot and didn't start working on it until I got their attention and asked about my order. Pad Thai - pretty good, but not outstanding, nothing out of the ordinary. If I went back, I'd probably get something else. Fried Dumplings - by itself, they are pretty bland, but the sauce definitely brings in more flavor. I liked the variety of veggies and vegan meat in filling too. ”
“ I've been coming here for well over 10 years and I am finally leaving a review because I finally took a picture of all the yummy food we ate. Whenever we come we always get papaya salad and green curry, must gets!!! and the other dishes we always change around, I do enjoy their pad Thai but I love their spicy mint noodle more! And pineapple friend rice is great. Everything is flavorful and they give you a lot of food. You order at the window and then get a buzzer to pick up your food at the side door when it's ready. their are plenty of tables to sit at in the space and they have a lot of trinkets and stuff for sale around the place. ”
“ Absolutely delicious vegan Thai fare! I LOVED the soy chicken larb, it was perfectly balanced with the citrus, mint and cilantro. That is a must try if you're in Santa Monica ”
“ Finally took the time to grab dinner from here I got the Vegetable Tofu Fried Rice with added chicken tofu and beef tofu and I got to say it was worth the short wait. The rice was very fluffy and moist, loved the vegatables in there, the chicken was buttery, soft like a little pillow, and the beef had this yummy sweet nutmegy flavor. Cute little restaurant and couple two person tables and a bigger dining table further in. The also have outside seating. Great prices and the Thai tea was very good also, definitely got to come back to try their Spicy Fried Rice. ”
