Swanya Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Culver City

This restaurant has tasty food. But unfortunately, our service was very poor. I had reserved a table for five, and we arrived a few minutes early and sat down. There were two waters already at the table, but no one came to our table, let alone bring us three more waters or ask if we wanted them! Menus were already there at each place setting, but no server appeared to take our order. I had to call someone over! I had to ask for service! This is not right. As soon as people sit down at a table, a server should appear to greet them. It was not that crowded, and the restaurant is very small. I was really shocked at this poor service. We finally got appetizer orders placed, and those were brought out without too much delay. When the main course meals came, they brought three, then one more, and then one more. I don’t think that’s right, either. All the meals should come at the same time. This is a small restaurant, as I said, and it was not that crowded, so there is no reason we should’ve had any problem. Perhaps they were shortstaffed, but someone should’ve come to our table right away, even if just to tell us that we might have to wait a little bit for more service. The customer always comes first! I hope their...

Have to say I was very disappointed! This restaurant is pretty small and right now they seem very focused on take out so a good portion of the restaurant is dedicated to take out and there delivery partners. We ordered a few things. We started with egg rolls which came out hot and were pretty standard but tasty! We then moved onto spicy fried rice, beef Crying Tiger, and yellow curry. The -“spicy” fried rice, although good, was very bland so we actually had to ask for additional seasoning and ended up reordering which ended up being better than the 1st batch. The crying Tiger was a crying shame! Very sad and not at all up to normal Thai standards. The curry was very watery and lacked enough ingredience to give it any substance. My biggest scare here was the cleanliness of the back area near the bathrooms. A little scary with food and dirty dishes just hanging out there in the open! If I would have seen prior to ordering probably would have walked. Although not a total bust would not...

Coming in from Hawaii, I visited my mom for the day in Los Angeles. She took us to this quaint little Thai restaurant off Sepulveda. My mom is extremely picky about Thai food (us being Thai) so I knew this would be a good choice. It is also "kid friendly "so it won't be too spicy for those that don't want spicy. I ordered pad kee mao medium and ate maybe half of it because I didn't want to fall asleep driving back to San Diego (conference). It was delicious and I added extra peppers. I ordered a Thai coffee which was also good. My nieces all had different items and seem to enjoy it especially the noodle soup. My friend had the pad Thai and loved it said it doesn't taste like the one in Hawaii (where we live). We came on a Friday evening and it was not busy. Parking is in the back and although it was limited we did not have a problem...
