I, too, am very picky about Orange Chicken. One of the best things about Thai Fantasy is that if you have a particular way you would like your choices prepared, the chefs will do their best to meet your expectations. I REALLY DO NOT LIKE the typical orange chicken on most Asian or Fusion restaurant menus in the vast Los Angeles area. Most of what I've experienced is doughy mush balls like what you might get at a Panda Express, for example, or any of the countless strip mall buffet / fast food, barely Chinese places that exist in abundance around here. I like my orange chicken extra crispy and Thai Fantasy has yet to disappoint me. If I order vegetables in brown sauce, and I like their brown sauce even if it is a bit salty, I request that my order have very little sauce. I don't like to waste food, so I make it as clear as possible exactly what I'd enjoy and on only a very few occasions when I was "experimenting," did I get a menu item that was unsatisfying. I for one am not a fan of fish heads. They make me paranoid, like they're staring at me with that one cataract clouded eye! I say if you give a place like Thai Fantasy a fair chance, have more than one meal there before giving them a bad review. The staff, servers, and food prep chefs will extend every courtesy to make sure that everything about your meal meets your expectations. They have done so for me 99 times out of 100... and that one bad experience I had... I believe I was so drunk, unlike how I am normally, that I ordered something so far out that my digestive tract was unprepared. That night I, like others who have left reviews here, worshiped at the feet of the porcelain Buddha! I didn't blame the food, I blamed the booze and my stupidity. As for the folks who got bad meat or ill prepared food, I hope they realize that restaurants that have been in business as long as Thai Fantasy do not, and cannot put up with such customer dissatisfaction. Don't you think they'd be out of business in a heartbeat if their food was always so very bad and the service always sucked? Here's an idea, if you get something bad, that you don't like, or that might taste odd, or that smells like poop: SEND IT BACK AND GET SOMETHING ELSE! Seriously, did someone really struggle with bad meat, finding 80% of it terrible? That means they continued to sample it even though it was awful. Why? This is America where no one who can afford it should ever be dissatisfied with a meal anywhere! In conclusion, I really like this place. I'm just sad that so many seem to have had a bad experience while eating at Thai Fantasy. I'm not crying, but...
Read moreOne of the few Thai restaurant in HP that serve good food. The wait staff service is amiable and generally impeccable . The interior design/space is plain, small and banal. Now let's get into the food. They serve great (e.g., beef veggie) and affordable food/beverages. They have an A grade from the LA's Dept of Health. Overall, I highly recommend Thai Fantasy for...
Read moreEverything was great especially the food. I often order pad see ew at the places I go. It was exceptionally good. The chicken meat was excellent and I will order it that way again. Today on my second visit I’m trying the special curry with the chicken. It smells great and I’m ready to dive in. Thai tea is also good. Not overly sweet and no bite. This is my new go...
