Hidden Garden Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Honestly it's been a long long long long while since I have a had good Thai food and maybe that's why the good was so mind blowingly good! :)

Just a note to all you alcoholic drink lovers... They do not have a liquor license but they are more then happy with BYOB... So if you want some wine or beer...BYOB.

The second was great. They were more then happy to meet any of the requirements that we had. It was a table of 4..2 regular eaters and 2 vegans.

My bf and I are not vegan and got things off of the regular menu.

I had the papaya salad and it was delicious!! Very flavorful and spicy (order Thai spicy if you love spicy food). I've had it at other places where it can become a little too fishy but this was well balanced and the green papaya was crunchy as were the cabbage and the romaine. Overall, one of the better papaya salads that I have had over the years. 2 thumbs up.

I also had the pad kee mow with fried tofu... Yes I am not vegan but omg do I love my fried tofu! :) This was also very well made. They put alot of Thai basil in it which is my favorite flavor amongst others in this dish. Once again, I've had this dish at other places where they put in 1 miserly Thai basil.... Not good eats. But this one was very well made and every single bite full of flavor and delicious! Yes the portions were not that large but it did fill me up. I actually liked it because normally I get so full but here when I left, I left pleasantly full.

The other 2 people in our party were vegan and they were able to order off of the vegan menu which is in back of the menu. They had specific requirements for reach of their dishes and desserts and they were more happy to make the vegan dishes to meet their requirements.

The service was a little crazy at times as they do not have 1 server assigned to you... But we had three different people come by and touch our table and help us out. All three were extremely friendly and have great service.

Yes Culver City with traffic was about 35 minutes away on a Sunday night... But will I be back? That would be an affirmative. :) Can't wait to come back and try some of their...

Bare with me, this one is going to be longer(er).

I placed a delivery order for a group work lunch, through a delivery service/app. It was a rather large order. As soon as it was out for delivery, the restaurant called me, saying items were left behind. They did not have a driver to send. I tried coordinating with the delivery service, but the driver had already moved on. The delivery service did credit my account for the inconvenience. But that still left the missing items. It took a minute to figure out what was missing and who got what. Eventually, one of my coworkers who was missing food, offered to go pick up those items.

All the while, the restaurant was all-apologies. What happened was, the order was so large, an entire sheet was left behind in the printer.

With some delay, everybody received their food. Big shout out to the lady who manages the phone! She kept all the food hot and even added a couple extra young coconuts as a little "make-up" gift.

Besides five star service, the food was also pretty delicious! I had the seafood soup. Fighting the sniffels, the fresh ginger and Thai basil really hit a spot. You get a generous portion of seafood as well.

No place is perfect, but I felt the care that's put in. Sometimes things go wrong, but how it gets resolved is what will keep me as a customer. That, and the...

Rude !!! The man that was serving and cashiering was extremely rude. I walked in with my husband , he gave us a dirty look and the first thing he said was " what are you here for ?" After we told him we were there to eat he told us to take a seat. We ordered soup. When it was time for us to pay my husband asked for a to go cup and he said "for what?" In a rude tone. Wich is weird because obviously it's for our left over soup. My husband paid and did not leave a tip due to his attitude. My husband was waiting for me outside while I went to use the restroom. Mind you im 7 months pregnant and he said in a very loud voice " you could leave a tip in the tip jar" I thought that was very rude of him to not have horrible customer service and then demand a tip loud enough for everyone to hear. He waited for my husband to leave and asked me the heavily pregnant wife to leave a tip. Will not be coming back here again. We always tip but we dont tip people that make us feel uncomfortable and have an attitude. Dude needs to work on greeting customers , his attitude and not asking people why they need...
