I absolutely love it here! I feel welcomed and appreciated every time I walk through the door & I’m on a mission to keep this restaurant open! The food is great, decently priced, and friend joyful service. The owners are considering retiring soon but I’m hoping they are able to find a away to keep their doors open! They’ve built a lovely brand and have earned my respect!

I’ve been here a few times and the food was savory and delicious. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Don’t forget to put quarters on the parking meter! If you’re going to dine in.

Menu online is old, prices raised. Food just ok, I think there are better Thai places for that price point. No inside dinning, take out only. Friendly staff.

I order the yellow curry. When it arrived the potatoes and carrots were raw. The least they could have done is cook the food. Overpriced inedible food.

The food quality was adequate but for $10.63 lunch not a particularly good deal. Relatively small portion. No tea. Just what you see in pic.

This is a Canoga park staple. You can never go wrong here. The staff is extremely friendly and the prices for the food is amazing! The lady working there knows my order every-time I call that’s how often I’m there. I’ve been eating here since I was like 6 years old hahaha. My order every-time is the spicy beef salad, yellow curry, mango sticky rice, and a large Thai tea!!! Best things on the menu trust me!

Eh... I feel bad and torn. On the plus side, the quality of the sauces here is actually pretty good. As an example, the veggies in my Spicy Basil (with Beef) dish were fresh. The bell pepper was crisp and the sauce wasnt inundated with oil or salt. I could see fresh Thai Red Chili chopped in the sauce along with some ginger. Well made. On the downside, the jasmine rice is ok but either its the quality of the rice used or something else...but it does not taste particularly fresh. More importantly, the meats (chicken, beef...no pork offered) taste straight out of the freezer and come across as dry and flavorless. Ex. The Chicken satay smells of the microwave and freezer. If theyd use fresh meat in their prep, this place would be a step up in taste and quality.The owner (?) who Ive occasionally seen is very polite and attentive. The other staff are generally friendly and well meaning, but Ive had a few mistakes made with orders in the past. Prices are quite reasonable. Currently everything is take away only.

I have tried so many Thai restaurants. And this is my final stop. They always go above and beyond to make it the way I like for my thai dishes. I love that they dont put MSG and food is not salty. My favorite is glass noodle salad, Spicy basil chicken fried rice, Rad Nah chicken and Seafood coconut soup. Their price is very reasonable compared to the quality their deliver. I encourage anyone to try.

Everything about the order was good. Food was ready by the time I reached, order was accurate. However taste wasn’t really special. Have had better Thai food from other places. Looked like a small business and I’m sure they can use any business coming their way.

Our food delivery today has hair in the salad.... what is going on with the food service? no more hair net or head cover to protect the food from such?

I dont think you can ever go wrong with Pad See Ew. It certainly my favorite Thai dish and I havent really gone to a place that completely muddled it up.But this place is really chill, wasnt too crowded. Service was friendly and fast. And of course the food was tasty.Its pretty inexpensive but besides that, nothing was really awe inspiring.I would go back if I was in the neighborhood as it seems like the perfect little go-to when youre hungry, want good food and not have to pay an arm and a leg.

Food is average. Nothing to really write about. BUT I do have a gripe about Thai restaurants in general. That gripe is how stingy they are with servings. With the exception of the BEST THAI restaurant in LA which is PALM THAI in Hollywood, most dishes you get at Thai restaurants skimp on the meats added. I ordered Red Curry dish here at Pink Elephant with shrimp. Now Im not expecting an abundance of shrimp but only 5 shrimp?! And the 40-60 count size to top it off. So if youre sharing this dish, as I did with my wife, I offer her 3 shrimp and I take the last 2. Cmon thats not right. BUT what WAS aplenty was peas. Call it Pea curry if youre gonna load the entire dish with it. And you know I had to pay extra for the shrimp and thats what makes it more egregious. Other than that, the pad Thai was decent, average. Will I go back...maybe. But I really wish I could find a decent Thai restaurant in the valley that serves really good food without costing a weeks paycheck.

I have had food here since long. Food is good but their service is a JOKE. Last time i did an online order the delivery guy named Jim behaved so rude and just kept the food on the floor and left. He was very abusive.When i called their manager to report the issue they gave the call to this delivery guy again. This guy serves food also in the restaurant and behaves the same way. Last time i asked him for water he never acknowledged.I referred this restaurant to many ppl but not anymore.Never going there again!!!!!!! AVOID by all means if you want to have pleasant experience.

Went there for Thanksgiving because they were one of the only places open- very much so satisfied! The food was amazing, the portions good, and its ridiculously cheap. The gentlemen who work there are also very kind. :) Will be returning!

Called to order to go and the prices were 30% higher than their menu on-line she said they havent up dated it in a long time thats very misleading as I thought my order was $22 and ended up being $30, I think they leave the on-line menu low on purpose and when you arrive your bill is 30% more --I wont return based on that alone and the food is just average anyways ! Not a good value for their inflated price rigging ----

This is a decent place to get some pad Thai and Tom yum soup. Ive never tried the stuff on the b Japanese half of the menu. The service is quick and friendly, and you can get things for a decent price. Overall not bad if you are craving takeout.

Omg. The food here is unbelievable. Its this really cute tiny placeThey are the reason Thai food is my favorite. Their CURRY? Heavenly. I always get their crab fried rice and pad see ew. I tried the drunken noodle today and it was amazing. I literally come here at least twice a week. Talk about addiction. And now Im going to spread the word to yelp!

Noodles are a bit thicker for my taste, not cooked completely, and were bland. Spice blend was just peppers. Thats it. I like spicy food, but I have red pepper flakes in my own kitchen cabinet. I come to a restaurant to have something better than that made for me. Too basic, too bland, and they even forgot our other party members meal and tried to act like it was no big deal. Never coming back.

Ive always been a returning customer, but after a couple nights ago ordering from them and finding something that was not suppose to be there...I called and ask for a full refund...First of all, the lady over the phone had a hard time understand or there was a language barrier....Phone was handed over to the gentleman and he kindly apologized and returned our money with no trouble. Walking in to do the exchange the kitchen staff and the lady in the front looked mad and just starred us down...Sadly, I wont be returning here and take my business elsewhere...

Yummmy yummy pad thai! I am VERY picky with Thai food and I am so satisfied every time I eat here! It’s quick for takeout or dine in and I always get a half shrimp half tofu pad Thai and sometimes a Thai tea!!! A must stop spot, also try the fried bananas!!

Deliscious! Ordered the shrimp pad thai and shrimp pad see ew. The pad see ew was excellent as was the price!! I like my pad thai a bit on the sweeter-side, overall a great meal! Fast, super fast service, nice vibe and that is when it dawned on me...I had my very first taste of Chinese food at this address way back in the 60s when it was called Lems. My family ate here consistently through the 60s and 70s. #nostalgic

I usually order the spicy beef salad and its quite spicy with plenty of grilled beef. I also love the mango sticky rice dessert. Its a good sized portion enough to share or eat it all yourself.

Oh man, i gotta say this thai place is Legit. My friends and i order lunches from them all the time and i love their pad thai dish!

Weve been going here since it opened. Its pretty average, but most of the Thai food in the West Valley isnt very good. The problem is the ever increasing price and the ever shrinking portions. Its now $13 for pad thai and a CAN of Coke.

Food is basic. Service is not very good... Had to eat with a toddler in lap because they said they didnt have any child seats only to find them outside the bathroom at the end of the meal.
