The Taste Kitchen in Culver City

The food there is spectacular! We ordered Thai Curry nodded, Spicy fried rice, veggies lovers, and Mango sticky rice. Each dish are full of wok hei and flavors and I cant express how much I love the food there!

Delicious Thai food and reasonable prices! I have visited 3 times myself. I recommend their pad Thai, chicken satay, and the spicy pork larb! Service may not be the best but the food is good.

I have been craving some authentic Asian cuisine which I have had great ones in the bay area. I was extremely disappointed when all the food we ordered was mediocre. It was a nightmare because my family and I were starving. I am not sure how they got those reviews because everything we ordered was horrible. Which Chinese restaurant messes up house fried rice, black pepper beef, chow mein, chow fun noodles. The name should be Tasteless. I had them take mine back but the rest of my family were too hungry to let go. Horrible!! Please hire new cooks.

A mom & pop shop that my local friend eats at on a monthly, and it really shows because it is a true authentic Thai family that immigrated to LA in the early 1990s and opened this restaurant and had it for years. A washroom literally in the back of the venue, that is a storage closet and non-fluent english speakers, and on top of that the yelling in kitchen. This is exactly what a true authentic mom & pop shop is like, and this is the food culture is missing.Anyways, I have to talk about the food here, because it is extremely delicious and it shows that these are the places that should support by locals.Thai Ice Tea: 8/10Perfectly blood orange, and it was the style of Thai Ice Tea I wanted. My camera is coming it off as just pure orange and I dont know why, but it was a more of a dark reddish orange and it was good.Papaya Salad: 7/10I thought this was a very cute take of a thai version of a papaya salad. I think this was just ok in my book, but what makes these salads are how long the papaya was soaked for in the family style fish sauce. And the papaya was extremely delicious. Their family style fish sauce was extremely delicious too.Red Thai Seafood Curry: 10/10This was a peak for me. I love the flavours of this red thai curry. The seafood was plentiful, and the curry mixed with the sticky rice was just delicious. It was a perfect portion. I had at least 4 portions sharing it with a friend.Green Thai Chicken Curry: 7/10I wished we didnt order a chicken curry, maybe we should have tried another meat, but the green curry was delicious, was it was lacking a type of flavour and I dont know what it is. Maybe next time I should order another type of meat.Mango Sticky Rice: 9/10We ordered a dessert before we left as the waitress was asking about our opinions about their food, and I told them what I liked and what I didnt like. They actually talked with us a little bit about our experience and their food. And tbh, their mango sticky rice was exactly what I like about a family style mango sticky rice. I wasnt expect the pandan flavour in it at all, but they gave it to me. YUM!Support local and your mom & pop shops!!!

So yummy and the service was amazing!!! they kept my drink full and the food came out so quickly. a quiet nice place to eat and very affordable! my new favorite thai food place.i forgot to take pictures of the food at the restaurant so here’s some ambiance pictures of the restaurant and my food the next day as leftovers 😂😂(the bread is my own sandwich bread haha)

I have no idea why this place is rated so high because its so undeserving. The protein was not good and the noodles had a weird smell. Save yourself the stomach ache.

Horrible experience do not trust the reviews totally and highly overrated. Save your time and money. Took the time to dine inside and provided one single napkin gosh seriously…No joke seriously one napkin. To add insult to injury they charge .50 for a take-out container (it is actually taped at the table) cheap cheap cheap!!! The food was not up to par skimpy on quantity of food and lacked in presentation and taste was not the quality of authentic Thai cuisine. Lacked freshness be careful when reading highly rated reviews. Again this establishment will not meet any high standards definitely zero rating should be an option. Zero is the truest rating deserved.

I am disappointed with the type of service we received. The place is super small, no server or cashier at the front. I stepped to the side to flag someone for my food. The lady came dashing at me thinking that I was going to enter a restricted area. Food wasn’t the best pho but it was ok. BUT service was terrible. We were visiting the area. Staying at a hotel close by, I have 2 little kids with me so I asked for an extra serving bowl and utensils since kids we’re sharing and no 4 year old can eat from those tall cylinder containers Pho soup comes in. The lady said NOOO. I asked for napkin she said No. I let that go THEN I asked if the pho soup didn’t come in contact with any sea food especially shellfish? She just proceeded to dismiss me with an annoyed look. I stated it again, my child has a shellfish allergy that requires Epipen and so I just need a yes or no answer. She said No with just annoyed face and a heavy sigh. Now am sure they have served some black people before. If not I prefer that if an Asian restaurant doesn’t like serving a certain group of people, a sign can be put at the door.

He portion size for dinner is ridiculously small. The food is over priced. The Thai tea is sweeter than McDonald’s sweet tea, try somewhere else, this isn’t the spot for placing a to-go order

We ordered Khao Soi and Orange shrimp special. Khao Soi had good taste but the soup seems to be more runny than what I am used to. The orange shrimp special was ok. They use small frozen cocktail shrimps and we didnt like that as much. The food portions were good size. I would go back there again if I crave for Khao Soi!
