Thai on Ventura — Restaurant in Los Angeles

We found this restaurant just by chance and saw the Yelp reviews, which motivated us to try it.

The restaurant itself is small and they made the best of the limited space. Nevertheless the atmosphere is cozy, nice soft jazz music is playing in the background and it’s absolutely clean. The service is very friendly.

The menu offers a big choice of different Thai food. I think everyone can find something to please their palate. We ordered chicken Satay as an appetizer. The chicken meat was deliciously flavored & juicy. The TOM KHA SEAFOOD SOUP (Coconut soup with mixed seafood, lemon grass broth, kaffir lime leaves, lime juice, coconut milk, mushrooms and fresh chili) was served in a flaming bowl to keep it hot. I ordered it medium spicy, which was quite hot enough for me. The taste of the broth was absolutely delicious, and it was loaded with succulent chunks of white fish, mussels and more shellfish. I loved it! My husband ordered PAD THAI (stir-fried rice noodles in special sauce with egg, bean sprouts, roasted peanuts, and green onions) with chicken. It was a huge portion, well flavored & delicious.

The price, quantity and quality relationship is very fair for each dish!

We will surely come back and try more of these...

i’m gonna be so honest it looks better than it tastes. it’s just not the thai town one yk? Pad Ord. i’m worried the rest of pad thai is ruined for me bc of Pad Ord… it was so good what if nothing compares? what if i’ve reached reached the summit of this mountain and don’t know what to do next? is it all down hill from here? i hope not. but with this it feels like it… anyways 2/10 it is very bland. this gives nothing.. the more i eat it the more offended i am. i’m eating this for sustenance and maybe some energy so im eating it out of necessity and i need to be sustained. i am disappointed…. anyways go to Pad Ord in thai town bc its really good. shoutout them. i feel like pad thais gotta be an adventure of flavor, a climb to the summit of a great mountain, but this- was a sidewalk stroll to go to the market maybe. just something you have to get through, not something...

Shortly after the New Year came my B-day. To celebrate it, I just wanted to do it discreetly with 2 other family members & as quiet as possible.

THAI ON VENTURA is a teeny unpretentious place hemmed in by other imposing establishments. The understaffed work crew worked under immense pressure due to simultaneous phone orders & dine-in clients. How they managed to deliver up-to-par service was phenomenal & kinda hard to explain.

Superbly prepped, food outcome emerged yummier than any Thai meals my taste buds have ever encountered. To boot, the whole range of food menu was & is priced competetively a tad lower than what's offered by their keen Thai rivals around the area. Overall, dining experience was second to none. Impressed and having received the "best bang for my buck", I ungrudgingly gave it that deserved...
