Khun Khao Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Hmmm I guess I haven't posted a review here for Khun Khao, so I'll have to remedy that. I've been a customer for more than 30 years. I don't live in LA anymore, but when we find ourselves in LA we always stop by there. The owner still remembers us and treats us like friends. But the food. Best Thai I have had anywhere. OK so I haven't been to Thailand but I've been all over US and Europe, and Khun Khao is #1 in my book. There are two dishes in particular that I get every time. One is Cashew Nut Chicken. I guess plenty of places make this dish good- but still Khun Khao stand out. The other dish is Kua Gai, also known as Guay Tiew Kua Gai. It's a noodle dish that is similar to pad see ew. This stuff is AMAZING. I am told it is a common Thai street food dish that you can find everywhere. But not many Thai restaurants in the US make it. I've found 2 in the Bay Area that make it- but neither of them are very good. The Kua Gai at Khun Khao is PHENOMENAL. Trust me- go try it. Everything else we've had is good (my wife likes their deserts) but I never get anything else there. On top of this, their prices are very reasonable, portions good, and the staff friendly. It's a small restaurant on Roscoe Blvd in Panorama City. Not the best neighborhood and it's just a small spot in a nondescript strip mall. So don't go for the ambience. But do go for the food.

Used to visit this place very often and was pretty satisfied with the food. On 01/22/2015 I ordered a spicy large chicken coconut soup for pick up. Over the phone the girl who i ordered from said the small steamed rice side cost $1 and the large $2. When I got to the place the owner who charged me said that the small steamed cost $ 1.50. I explained to him what his worker over the phone had told me and he still assured me it was 1.50 so I let it go and came home. When I opened up the coconut soup I was surprised to see the cup was filled only 3/4 of the way. Upset called the owner which was very rude and didn't even offer an apology. Said he didn't care what I thought and i told him I would write a review and tell my friends of then unpleasant experience I had at his restaurant. He just hung up on me. Would not recommend unless you want to be ripped off by...

HOoRAY!!!!

CASH ONLY, just like Bangkok. .

Flavorful and well worth the wait and patience. All time favorite ever! Top notch in comparison to other restaurants. Cook fresh when order to your spicy level: mild, medium, and very/ hot but can modify to fit your diet or allergies or preferential desire needs. Enjoy chicken or beef curry over rice, fried chicken rice without ketchup sauce, or sauce on rice from cashew chicken, pad see ew with beef, tom yum soup with SHRIMP, kra pao ta lay, basil mint GROuND pork to name a few ...or any of the dishes in the hot trays are excellent but preferably with white rice. Don't mix or combine the dishes when you spoon so you can taste. I like Thai Tea or Thai coffee but it disappears too quickly. Parking limited on site or street but available. Know what you want then order in advance before going. Sometime sold...
