Saraya Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Burbank

Will definitely need to return and try their other dishes!!!

This little gem sits in the corner of a fairly small shopping center.

I tried their chicken pad Thai, and baby, when I tell you that their spice had my nose running. I choose 4 out of 5 spice level and I should have gone with 3 lol. I'm happy that when they Say spicy, they mean it. I've been to many places that claim spicy, but this one is legit.

I went during the lunch special hour, which I believe runs from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The lunch special includes your choice of soup or salad, I chose the soup which was a fried egg soup, It was very delicious. My main course was the chicken pad Thai, and it was very tasty. You could actually taste and see the color of the sauce they use, the noodles were a dark brown. The chicken itself was tender, but, I believe they use chicken breast which runs a little on the dry side, but the amount of sauce they use makes up for it. I also ordered the Thai milk team, and it was divine. The portions were great, no complaints, this is definitely a deal. I will be returning to try other dishes.

The staff were very friendly, and right away you notice that they are making an effort to be friendly with their clients. The waiter asked if this was my first time, which lets me know that they make an effort to remember their customers. Both waiters were very attentive, and even though they were somewhat busy, they ensured to follow up with me. I was so full after my meal, I did not have any room for dessert. But, hopefully next time!

Parking isn't the most difficult, but it is limited in their parking lot. Luckily, there is residential parking adjacent to the restaurant. Just keep an eye out on the parking restrictions, you don't want a ticket.

The restroom was very clean when I used it, and they had a scented candle that was lit.

The restaurant itself was pretty small, and seating was a little bit tight, but you would comfortably be able to sit a table of four. But, that's also coming from someone who's fairly thin. Unfortunately, there is no outdoor seating. But, that's not a big deal.

I highly recommend trying this place out, just keep in mind that their spicy is actually spicy lol. Also, their muscled up fortune kitty is hilarious,...

Okay so after reading the other reviews I was probably gonna give 5 stars because half these wanna be critics are just crybabies. But I had to give a 4 and here is why: I ordered the fried shrimp wontons and green curry with chicken. I was asked if spicy was okay for the curry. Being someone who loves spicy food I said sure...I recieved the wontons and wow they were just out of the fryer. So hot i should have paid more attention being the restuarant wasnt very busy and my order came really quickly. So I let them cool off a little before enjoying. They were played nicely and pricing was more than fair. The salad garnish added some color to the plate but I was expecting the traditional cucumber salad. I wasnt disappointed though. I recieved the curry and served some over the rice to soak in. That first bite I was like wow this is spicy like super spicy. But I continued to eat and finished. The spicy was so intense it was hard to palate all the other flavors of the dish I usually enjoy. The curry was a little light on the normal flavors I could taste through the spice. When the server came back with the check I told her she wasn't joking about being spicy. She laughed and said she things this batch of thai chilies was really hot 😒😒😒. Knowing that she should warn the customers. I was by myself so I usually pick a spot in the back with a good view of the establishment. Personally I think they should invest in decor. A small bow and not wearing a Tokyo shirt. I may have to go back to speak to the owner and try to help...

Small strip mall Thai place with a massive pension for tasty vittles. I gotta say, the panang curry here is DELICIOUS AF, along with everything else I've ordered. For those who like to eat really hot/spicy food. I asked for the super-spicy hot dragons breath lava hot kung pao beef 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 and I was not disappointed. I LOVE Spice Hot and this sh^t was like Farrah Fawcett in the late seventies hot. This Kung Pao wash F-ing Ka-POW! Had me hot, sweaty, and a little watery-eyed. Not that sissy tourist white-boy spicy, this cook was out for revenge and meant to show me who's boss.

I passed out and woke up 3 minutes from after first tasting it, speaking in tongues, or maybe in Thai. I've haven't been the same since. I go back every week, and I'm never disappointed. Sodas come in cans, the Thai Ice tea is on point, and if you have a party of 4, request a pitcher of water as table visits are a little slow. If you go at lunch time, be prepared to spend the whole hour there, as it gets busy and staff is stretched thin causing service and check/payment delays. They have a lot of phone to-go orders, so don't be afraid to walk your check up to the counter.

Parking in the strip mall is limited, tight, and a bit of a hassle. You can also park in the lot across the street, or street parking (watch the posted street...
