Khun Dang Thai Restaurant

I have had my really good 5-star experience today. I live in the north-west part of the san fernando valley, and yet I have never tried this place. I have lived in Chatsworth for almost 21-22 years. Why have I not eaten here.. its insane!! So my mom just got her glaucoma surgery today and was hungry. OK, all 3 of us were hungry. My brother said we are gonna stop by for some thai food to go. He had ordered already for takeout. I was assuming.. hmm monster thai? Jasmine Thai? but a local restaurant near our old stomping grounds of Chatsworth. Ok, I am always up for some new grub. We got home opened the boxes and wow a burst of flavor just made its way to my nose. I was in heaven. The green curry was very spicy. It was too spicy for my tastes but you could picture a sense of relief from my mom as she enjoyed every teaspoon of curry. Then of course came the minced beef on rice which was also spicy. My mouth was burning, and I could envision flames coming out of my mouth. My mom loved it!!! Next was pad-thai. I love pad thai, but never have I experienced pad-thai like this before. My mom enjoyed it for the first time in a long time, because it wasnt sweet like other places tend to make it. My brother and I also enjoyed it too. I love it also because its not too sweet in flavor, its just right!!! Then if that wasnt enough, there was this bbq beef on rice with sliced tomatoes and cucumber. It was ok, nothing too special. The thing I liked the most out of the lunch boxes was this fried wonton. That was amazing. So, in conclusion.. I would definitely come and bring my friends to eat here. I love these places that operated by small business owners; especially the moms and pops shops. Kudos to this place. Want something spicy or something not spicy at all? Come to Khun Dang!!!! Yummy!!!

After contemplating on lunch options in Northridge, I decided to go to Chatsworth.I walked in and I was surprised to find the place empty and but decided to order the food regardless.I ordered a vegan lunch special with panang curry and a soup for the option, and a side of thai coffee with almond milk. Note that this restaurant has vegan options, and even the condiments are labeled to identify if its vegan or not. This way, you dont have to worry about fish sauce nor shrimp paste sneaking up on you, (that line was for vegans/vegetarians only).I started with a soup with was hot and spicy. It was wonderful. The Egg roll provided was a crispy, and the filling was on the mushy side, but still really good.Then I dug into the main dish, the panang curry; which was creamy and bold on flavor. Usually, restaurants add a lot of coconut milk to dumb down the flavor, but at My Thai, it was as flavor as one would expect. That was honestly a good surprise. But due to the creaminess from the coconut milk, it did add a slight sweetness which was well companied by the thai chilis soaked in vinegar.The soy chicken option in the panang curry may texturely resemble chicken. As I was raised a vegetarian, this may have been the incorrect choice for me. Goign tofu or all vegetables next time.The thai coffee was on the sweeter side. But I do want to go back to try thier other vegan options.The customer service was great. As I had gone alone, they were hospitable.Im more surprised that this place wasnt packed. But they did mention majority of thier lunch clients just call in to take it to go.

Especially for the area, this is a great choice for authentic Southeast Asian food. The restaurant is Laotian but youll definitely notice similarities to Thai food as well as other surrounding areas. We had the larb and the most popular Laotian soup and they were both pretty enjoyable. The flavor of the soup was a little bit on the mild side and I love the pieces of fried pork belly, but overall, the larb with the ground beef was even better. Try both!
