We love this place ! All the usual dishes but more flavorful and delicious that any Thai place I’ve been. Super friendly staff and chill music! Highly recommended!
We were lured in by the high google ratings. Not really sure why so many 5 star reviews. Very average Thai?? food. Chicken satay was very dry, served with the fake peanut sauce. We were the only table and it took more than 30 minutes to get our food. I give it 4 stars given the price of our meals. I have to admit this place is very cheap, but you get what you paid for.
Highly recommend, Food its so yummy, lovely and friendly service. My new family restaurant, well be back for sure
I was pleased that I walked into this little restaurant very helpful and kind. The food was delicious, and good portions. Everything was fresh made to order. I was happy that I walked in.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kao Hom Thai Cuisine, located at 7139 Balboa Blvd, Van Nuys, CA 91406, and it was an exceptional experience. The crabmeat fried rice and shrimp in a blanket were both incredibly flavorful, showcasing the chefs skill in crafting delicious Thai dishes. Beyond the fantastic food, the service was truly top-notch, adding a welcoming touch to the overall dining atmosphere. If you find yourself in Van Nuys, dont miss the chance to savor the delectable offerings at Kao Hom Thai Cuisine. Its a culinary gem worth exploring!
Delicious food, very tasty! We had excellent service, Sunny was our waitress and she was very welcoming. I really enjoy this family run restaurant, and will definitely eat here often.
Pretty decent thai food, prices are fair. Nothing crazy or the best thai food I ever had. But it hit the spot. We ordered tom kha soup and chicken fried rice. Rice was a little dry. But the soup was really good. I will check out other places first but I will be back eventually. Not the best not the worst. Staff was quiet and soft spoken, smiled, but not much english. Very small, plenty of tables for dining, but it was empty when I got there.
We went yesterday for lunch and had the pad thai and yellow curry from the prix fixe menu. So so delicious. The server was friendly and accommodating to our spice levels and vegan needs. This is a keeper.
I love love this place! Authentic actual Thai food. I tried the panang curry and it’s my favorite thing ever. I go get it at least once a week. The service was amazing too and the owners make the food taste like heaven. Overall amazing place! Check it out if you’re in the area.
This is a hidden gem in the valley! The food is delicious! I ordered the Orange chicken, Pad See Ew and Spring rolls, it was really good! I’m definitely coming back here! The only downsize is the portions are small, we also ordered Thai tea and the boba was hard :( Other then that 5/5
Under new ownership!Didn’t disappoint at all, even better than before.Delicious food and fantastic customer service.Not overpriced. Proportional servings.The crab and cheese appetizer is amazing!
Orders 2 orders of crab fried rice . Almost no crab meat inside . All rice . Used to be better when I ordered it from them before . Hope they improve
Amazing customer service and the food was very delicious. The Pad Thai had a lot of flavor!
Amazing service and food, loved every single plate I ordered and the waitress was very attentive and nice
Finally, a really good Thai restaurant thats more authentic than most. And for me that means theyre not over-loading everything with sugar.... You can actually taste the basil and garlic and lime and spices, etc like youre supposed to with good Thai food! Only issue I can report is that parking is very tight and that might reasonably dissuade folks from going there when the strip mall is busy.
I just had the worst pad see ew of my life!!! The tofu was dry and obviously added after, not covered by any sauce or oil, same for the undercooked broccolis, and the noodles themselves were salty but no other flavoring.I never write reviews, but here, I had toz
Absolutely fantastic! I had the spicy eggplant and the Tom Kah and it was excellent. And, very reasonably priced as well! Thank you Kao Hom!
Got the green curry with fried tofu and 2 veggie rolls, and it was delicious!!! You can tell that the ingredients are really good quality.What I love most is that they packaged the fried tofu separately so it didnt get soggy in the curry. Never had that done before but it made all the difference.Def stop by !
The waitress was super nice and personable! They were quite busy and she was doing her best. Had a wonderful experience here and the food was decent!
We loved the flavor and service... Food was so delicious... We tried all our recipes with no egg, no meat ... The tofu was so soft, creamy and yum... They were so courteous.
Great, nice and sweet service. Spicy food. Brought us a sample of a new desert for the summer and it was delicious definitely can’t wait to come back and see the new menu items!
I have just had their Pad See Ew and I’m in love! Very decent Thai food, I love that it’s not too sweet like it usually is in American Thai places. Mango sticky rice is out of this world. Will be back again!!
Excellent food will make a special request with no problem.
Service was quick and friendly. Food tasted great and the price made it even better.
Great authentic Thai food. Kind and humble family.
Staff is super friendly, polite helpful and nice. Food comes in generous sizes and clearly is labeled with spicy levels.Many options. All the food our party ordered was great. No one ordered the same things.Forgot to take pictures. :-(
Food is very good. Just be ready to have it be very spicy. We ordered medium and mild and both were very hot (spice). Very nice people and good, quick service.
This is my favorite Thai food . excellent test.Relly like in Thailand🎉
Tom Kha soup was incredible salty. We had to send back the soup. Till we were waiting for the new one our drunken noodles get cold. My total balance was $28.4 so I decided I don’t give a regular tip as usual. I gave $1.6 tip so my total was $30 with tip. I see on my credit card statement that they charged me $33. They give themselves extra $3 tip. This is unacceptable and it’s seems like fraud !!!
Great Thai food! Recommended.
This place is fantastic! The lunch special is an absolute bargain. They give you a bunch of food and its all scrumptious! The service was excellent. Seems like a family-owned business, so show them some love and try their food!
Really wonderful service, very tasty food.
Khao Soi is fantastic! A perfect blend of spices make this noodle soup one you will never forget! Its so delicious 😋
This is like the third iteration of a Thai restaurant..and it is very good! Seriously, most all the items Ive tried have been excellent quality and well done. Pricing is a pretty good deal..last time I went, four dishes including tip came under $50 with plenty of leftovers from feeding three people.
Really tasty food. I really like their pineapple fried rice, and their Curry is to die for. Also, the Mango sticky rice here is very reasonably priced, as opposed to other Thai restaurants that seam to tell you that its a seasonal item, then decide to price gouge. I really like the color scheme as well. I highly recommend this little known whole in the wall.
Another young favorite. The foods great and the people are always nice. Its a very personable place. Its a bit pricey depending on how much food you want but you can always get a good deal.
I had a fried rice dish. It wasnt the best but it t was ok and the size can easily feed 2 people.
Wonderful food and service! Fast delivery and so polite. Cute containers for the food too!
Wonderful people! Fulfilled a 20 person order with zero issues and even helped bring it out to the van. Everyone on the production loved the food
The location of this place is really surprising (such a tiny strip mall), and the food is just as much of a surprise. Many Thai restaurants make up for poor food quality with quantity. Kao Hom, on the other hand, not only has amazing flavor in their dishes, but they also have fantastic portion sizes (the portions are still sizeable, and you might still need to take some food home with you, but they are overall more manageable). The yellow curry was especially tasty.
This place has by far the best Kao Soi in the area. It is so much food and everything is absolutely perfect, every time. Lots of toppings, actual chicken legs (2) not chopped up pieces, and the flavor is absolutely on point. Im literally eating Kao Soi from another thai place nearby and it is so incredibly disappointing in comparison. Get the Kao Soi here and thank me later.
Pretty reliable Delivery Thai food and open late.Yellow Vegetable Curry - 4 starsOrdered this recently and it was very good. Not too thick and full of vegetables including green beans, cabbage, baby corn, potatoes and carrots. Broth was super flavorful, add some brown rice and you got yourself a great meal.Pad Se Ew w/Chicken - 4 starsMy husband always orders this and its good. Noodles arent overcooked and theres plenty of egg, chicken and broccoli mixed it. Not amazing but definitely good.Chicken Satay - 4 starsArrived in To Go container piping hot and not dry at all! Flavor is good but like any chicken satay its typically white meat that can get overcooked quickly. Im not a huge fan of this dish but will eat it if its around.Brown Rice - 5 starsI love their brown rice (more like purple). Each grain plumpy and full of flavor, never dry and good even reheated (just splash some water before nuking).Overall, 4 stars. Weve ordered and will continue to order from Kao Hom!
I absolutely am in love with this place! It is the best and they have such great service as well! Their food is delicious and trust me if you are in the area looking for a place to eat I recommend coming here! You will never be disappointed this place is amazing!
Last time I was here (for good) I placed my ordered and the person there said hesitantly that I was going to take 25-30 mins. I waited over 1 hour and 15 mins. She lied just to get more business. And continued to blatantly lied not only to me, but everyone else there, saying to another customer “15-20 more minutes”. Twice. There are cheaper places with same quality in the area. Don’t waste your time.
These folks are killing it. Great, neighborhood fresh Thai food. Wish I could eat here more often!
Khao soi broth was amazing! The chicken is incredibly tender and delicious. Gotta love the fried wonton chips on top, too. Ground pork larb is a must - very fresh! Pad see ew with shrimp won us over. The noodles were salty, savory, and carmelized. Bravo! We’ll be back.
I loved the place and the food was good of course! Their servers were very nice too plus, not too expensive. Overall a pretty good lunch and a great value considering the leftovers.
My family loves this place. Always quick, always yummy.We get the Pad see ew, satay and that chicken coconut soup everytime with a added new dish mixed in.My 8 year old girl can distroy a plate of Pad See ew by herself so we get 2.Love this place. So friendly too.
Love it here! The food was amazing and the service was so friendly and kind. Will definitely come back :)
Surprising little find in the SFV. Good soup! The Tom Kha Kai was great. The service was great as well. The space is clean, and feels good to eat in. Overall a great spot for Thai food.
Delicious selection and very nice staff. Their Medium spice is not for the weak! Ordered inside and they brought it out to the car.
Amazing! very friendly staff, started out with the chicken summer rolls and they were awesome. Then the duck curry and short ribs. Definitely will be a regular here
Food was delicious especially the curry and fried rice as well as the chicken fried wontons with spices very fulfilling would definitely recommend giving them a try if you havent already.
Didn’t try the food yet but the server is so nice and calm and kind that already is a 5 star to me
I eat a lot of Thai food. I have tried restaurants from Santa Clarita to La Canada Flintridge to Los Angeles. From the hundred plus Thai Cuisine Ive had in Los Angeles County, I can say with genuine confidence this is top 3 best Thai in all the land. I drive from Tujunga to eat here. Hole in the wall, but the decor is modern, beautiful and calming and the food is top notch. Vegan and Vegetarian menu options available as well. Best items are any of their curries, Orange Tofu (or chicken), mango sticky rice and Tom Ka Kai soup.
Good service, excellent attention, thank you
Great food and and customer service. THE BEST yellow curry Ive had in L.A. hands down!
Excellent food, highly recommended cashew nut chicken with steamed vegetables is one of the best dishes.
One of my favorite restaurants for Thai food... Love their red/green/yellow and panang curries :)Great local place; yummy food and nice staff ! Thumbs up !
Im going there at least 3 times a week for lunch, there are two restaurants one is this one the other one is on Coldwater and Riverside which called Monster Thai they are excellent, same food same flavor for more than 7 years.
Best pad ka prao (spicy basil) in the valley
Excellent food, best in the valley. Very clean and very large dishes. I spent $30.00 for me and my wife and brought back leftovers.
Delicious curry, quick service, easy parking
My favorite for Thai always on point the best for me as I visit there land. Very authentic. Great service. Family 🚌. Support them.no regrets.
Great yellow curry and pad thai. Super nice service
We used to come to this spot all the time when it was Friend Thai-Chinese owned by Tim and Anne before leaving LA 11 years ago. It is still Thai food and very good, but not quite the same.
Great food relaxed and amazing quality food. Clean menus clean tables.
The best Thai restaurant 😋
Very tasty Thai food. My friend loved her salmon Teriyaki and I really enjoyed my noodle dish.
Very tasty fresh And delicious Thai food with great service
Great food, even better service. Our waitress carried and entertained our 1 year old for like 10 mins!
Definitely recommend it. Good lunch specials. Food was amazing.
I am obsessed with their spicy noodles with chicken! I get it once sometimes twice a week. It’s a problem. But a delicious problem.
Best Thai food! I rarely post/rate but this place is amazing. Food excellent. Service excellent.
Horrible place! I ordered a duck plate and they brought a small size burned leg and salad, too mich green salad and nothing! They charged me $14.00!!!!! I got out hungry!
Great food and very reasonable prices . Whenever i am in town i definitely will always stop to eat here !!!
Delicious Thai food, especially the Pad See We. You will love everything on the menu ❗

2023-08-24 05:34:21This place is an absolute gem! After trying quite a few Thai food restaurants in the valley, this is by far the best! It’s run by a family and it’s an easy tell how much they love/care about what they do! They offer an extensive menu including not only a wide variety of Thai food, but also some other Asian fusion. This place is also clean and cozy, it feels so warm with their heartfelt service! Will keep coming back to try out all the different items on the menu! Parking is limited in this plaza, but it’s never an issue on weekdays. 💯 recommended if love Thai food!

2023-07-15 19:21:04Finding out this place with a new owner... food ate awesome good. Very nice customer service. Everyone there is great and awesome.. treat me like Im at home in Thailand. Even the chefs came out and asked, How was everything ?, IS anything you want, lets us know, okay? And some day they have/had a special dish.. they will let you know and want you to try it.. if you like to try new dishes 😋 which I always do.. like to try new dishes 😋 I love the atmosphere there... Im sure I will be back again..

2023-08-03 02:04:56I ordered for pick up on the way home from work and I’m so glad I gave this place a try. Food is delicious! It’s a small little restaurant with a small parking area. The best Panang curry I’ve had in the area so far 😋 Their Larb Chicken is flavorful I love it!

2023-05-10 02:59:17We found this spot online and we came in on their Grand Opening. The food was wonderful and came out in a timely manner. Didn’t have to wait long. It is family owned and the chefs are the parents, so you know the food is home cooked meals worthy! Very affordable pricing too! We will be back!

2023-04-21 02:34:58Everyone I bring here loves the curry. I usually get pineapple, but the yellow is also really tasty. ALSO it’s currently mango sticky rice season! Food is always hot and delicious.It seems like most people order take out because it’s usually pretty empty inside, I have done both. Never had any issues, staff is always nice!

2022-01-23 15:44:35Friendly service, quiet and clean. I ordered drunken noodles with a spice level of medium. That was spicy to me 🥵 delicious but spicy. Next time I’ll go with mild. I love the option to make it as spicy as you want. I also had the chicken wings appetizer which was more like a fatty party wingette instead of fresh chicken wings. The taste was fine, just was expecting fresh chicken wings. I had a Thai iced tea, that was yummy too! My bill was about $30. I’d return and give another try.

2023-11-19 03:01:31Best Thai food around! Amazing tastes, a delight to consume.When they offer spicy, they mean spicy. One of the few places I have ever been that made my wife delight in the spiciness...

2023-10-18 19:27:56First time here and it was a great experience. The food, the service, the cleanness, and cant forget about the bomb thai Tea! Had the pad thai lunch special and it was really flavorful. The cook was getting down in that kitchen. Also sat next to a group of people who had been there the day before and the fact they came back the next day makes me want to as well just to try all my favorite thai dishes. Thank you!

2022-05-05 00:28:30Excellent Thai food. Fresh and flavourful. Clean restaurant and great service. Yellow curry is one of the best I’ve ever had. My new go-to spot in the valley.
