If you like meat in your food this is not the place for you. My Shrimp fried rice only had 3 shrimp in it. I got the garlic beef and it was barely any beef. Mostly a bunch of vegetables. Flavor was good though. I purposely ordered the Tom Yum Kai soup because i do not like mushrooms (the other 2 options listed mushrooms as an ingredient) ... they gave me a soup that had a bunch of mushrooms lol I feel like i wasted my money tbh

One of the top Thai restaurants in all of LA. They use wonderful tasting ingredients and the price point is unbelievable for the incredible quality! Theyre also open pretty late night which is a huge plus because usually all you can find is junk food or tacos. A must try if youre in the Santa Monica area.

Really excellent and unique location! The mother is very nice and gave me some grapes. They seem to anticipate the customers needs superbly.

Amazing food and friendly owners! Curry was delicious, and service was fast. 10 out of 10 would eat here again.

Ordered the combo fried rice. The taste was good. The thing was I had to literally look everywhere for the cashier and be like Hey I finished my food. Can I pay now?

Super friendly family owned spot — probably the best neighborhood thai spot i’ve ever had the pleasure of frequenting. nothing fancy, spot on flavors, all your favorite dishes. never disappointed. 10/10

This is my fellow co-workers go to late night Thai place for our night shift! Portions are always large and the food is always fresh and saucy. Our go to’s are the pad see ew and pad thai of course! We normally get deliver through an app. Notably on the most recent occasion, an entire bag of our order was missing. The gentleman who answered the phone apologized and promptly re-delivered the rest of our order himself! We were so grateful for that gesture! Doesn’t disappoint!

Amazing food!! And they have Vegetarian options too. I got the spicy mint noodles which were to die for!!Thai tea was also very good. They didnt have seating when I went there but that might have been because of the timings. I would definitely go back and would recommend others to try it too!! Enjoy!

Food is straight forward and fantastic. portions are big and takeout was ready quickly. will definitely be coming back. SO sad that this place is currently closed for indoor dining because the interior vibes are FANTASTIC with awesome plants and fun walls. can’t wait to be back and sit inside once it’s safe again !!

Best and most affordable Thai restaurant in town!!!!!! Tom kha kai soup is AMAZING! And the steamed dumplings as well. I’ve always ordered it thru Uber eats and it’s always delicious and hot. Love love LOVE! I literally ordered it twice this week.

Not the greatest, but they’re open late. Nothings really vegan. But they were able to make me mixed vegetables with soy sauce because everything else has fish sauce. Their fishtanks inside their building look horrible and literally looks like a prison for their poor little fish but I do like all the plants that they have.

The prices here are insanely low compared to the average Thai restaurant and the quality is just as good. Solid portions too. Can’t beat $10 for an entree

Review №14

2018-04-17 17:22:02

The owners are rude, noticed them yelling at another customer for wanting extra rice. Seriously? Place is loaded full of turtle feces and serves turtle soup which should be illegal. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone, it doesnt even deserve a star. The Mom, Pop, and Son like to argue with their guests instead of making them happy. Stay away.

2021-07-23 03:10:04

Quite possibly the most mediocre Thai food I’ve ever had. We ordered delivery from Uber Eats — the pad Thai was stale, the shrimps were so over cooked that they were chewy, and the beef satay was almost beef jerky.

2018-07-11 08:12:40

Poom! There it is! Excellent yellow curry with boneless chicken & just enough spiciness without being overbearing. Although I love really spicy, my body doesnt. The panang and pad Thai were as also quite yummy. The service was excellent.

Weekly customer for 3 years! Not coming back after a Postmates driver was unable to pick up the food. We called and tried to pick up the order ourselves - they said no we couldnt. So we tried to place a new order, the man speaking to us yelled madly TOO BUSY and hung up. Food is basically average tasting anyway. We only went because it was close. Save your money for somewhere that respects you.

Poom Thai is a hole in the wall and looks like as much, but the food is surprisingly delicious. The service is plain and neutral (not exactly friendly), but the prices and amazing food makes up for it. Loved my pad see ew and was shocked at the size of the Tom Yum soup which is served in a huge silver tureen.Its not fancy, so if you want to really enjoy it, take it home.

Not a friendly place for someone who has allergies. The chef/owner threw a hissy fit and was practically cursing me out for not telling him about my allergies when I specifically did. How about instead of getting mad at a customer for your forgetfulness and just recooking the dish? What’s a loss of $ for 1 dish’s ingredients and maybe 10 minutes of your time for $ from a loyal returning customer? You bet I’ll be telling people about my experience, Satdha is a better Thai food restaurant just up the street. Service and food is wayyyyyy better at Satdha.

The Combination fried rice was good but it was still a lil too white. I like my fried rice to look like fried rice. Ill try again 😌

The food is fantastic! Dine-in or take-out, either way its excellent and they have a large variety of items on their menu. They have chow mein but not lo mein. Very friendly customer service. The food is always delicious

Weve ordered from Poom Thai for 11 years. Tonight, we were shorted 1 Pad Thai short so we called the restaurant. Told they would hurry and make a new one. Delivery guy came over an hour later and when my husband asked what they might do to compensate us or bringing a meal over an hour later the driver said, Well you wont order again from us again anyway so it doesnt matterMy husband called the restaurant again and the dude on the phone said he couldnt do anything to help us because he isnt responsible.Grub Hub refunded our $$ for the order.STAY AWAY!! Lots of other great Thai restaurants that deliver in the area!!!

The best ever. I like their Mint Noodles with Pork and if you go while the peppers are in season they have some really spicy peppers.Make sure that you remain in good standing here!

Poom Thai is the absolute best. It’s my go-to when I’m craving Thai food. I have yet to try something on the menu that I didn’t love. I always do delivery, which is fast and the food always comes warm. Love this place.

Review №27

Poom thai love you long time!!! Red curry and combo fried rice were top notch with extremely generous portions. Missing fork and napkins so minus a star

My favorite! Family owned and operated with fun decor. A real hole in the wall comfort food experience. It feels like you’re being let inside someone’s home. Or art studio

I just wish I could give this place a -1. I tried to place an order online but it never gave me the option, and when I tried to call him AT NOON (who opens for lunch that late!) the guy behind the counter was VERY RUDE! He wouldnt take my credit card over the phone because I could have stolen the credit card, but explained that I could give my credit card to the person who was picking up the food (which makes no sense giving the fact that it would then be in the hands of a person whose name is NOT on the credit card. The man was VERY RUDE, and yelled at me that I could have stolen the card, he doesnt know me and he cant help me. I asked to speak to the manager and he said that no one was there. I have worked in the restaurant business for 10 years and I have never treated a customer like that. I was really looking forward to trying this place as I LOVE Thai food. But I guess I will have to keep wanting because I will never buy or should I say TRY to buy from this place AGAIN!!!

Worst customer service ever. Food took forever to the point we canceled the order and they did not apologize or care about it. Restrooms are gross. It seems they haven’t clean the place in years. DO NOT GO TO tHIS PLACE IF YOU CARE OF YOUR HEALTH.

Incredible food with such a wonderful family vibe. My favorite Thai food in LA — great for groups! Exceptional dishes - especially Panang curry!

Review №35

2022-02-16 08:30:05

Not much pork in the Pad Thai and it was overcooked. Overall flavor was really flat, not much taste overall.

Review №36

2017-12-28 21:13:03

Extremely old school local spot. Simple, hearty food, big portions, good prices. Its family run and very informal so the service isnt the best, but its a great place to hang out with friends without the staff bothering you

Review №37

2018-09-08 04:09:53

To be honest the place looks a bit shady but once you actually look around it shut a very unique dequor full of character. On top of that their pad tai and green curry were very good. 5/5

Review №38

2018-03-17 06:17:25

Ordered thru Postmates. Sure big portion but I ordered chicken curry with potatoes. What I got was a order of mushroom and I mean all mushroom with some chicken. The yellow curry was a soup it was aweful. So disappointed!

Review №39

2019-10-01 21:33:03

Updated to just 1 star now, NOT 5 stars any longer!! They do not put peanuts in their Pad Thai anymore, claiming people have allergies to them, Boo!!!! STAY AWAY! :( Nasty turtle cage too, as they serve turtle, Yucky! Little known secret--

You know you are in trouble when they have panda brand soy sauce. The Tom kha soup tastes like fish instead of delicious but the other dishes were fine.

Staying in a nearby hotel, I ordered takeout and it was absolutely delicious! Felt sorry for the hardworking staff though, as it was a very busy night and they appeared to be stretched really thin.

I got there, ordered food and gave my card . The guy went away for very long time . I wanted to take my card and went out, since there was a lot of drivers going in and out . It had been too long . There were tables which we didn’t have to cross them . I called somebody to give my card back several times, but no one answered me . Then I just pulled my head over the tables and called the waiter again . Suddenly appeared a balled guy and very rudely and defiantly moved a sign to right in front of me to show that I am not allowed to cross it . However, I just wanted to get my card back . There was no need for discourteous actions . By the way I got my card back in 7 minutes after that -.-
