Vegan My Thai & Seafood — Restaurant in Los Angeles

After contemplating on lunch options in Northridge, I decided to go to Chatsworth.

I walked in and I was surprised to find the place empty and but decided to order the food regardless.

I ordered a vegan lunch special with panang curry and a soup for the option, and a side of thai coffee with almond milk. Note that this restaurant has vegan options, and even the condiments are labeled to identify if it's vegan or not. This way, you don't have to worry about fish sauce nor shrimp paste sneaking up on you, (that line was for vegans/vegetarians only).

I started with a soup with was hot and spicy. It was wonderful. The Egg roll provided was a crispy, and the filling was on the mushy side, but still really good. Then I dug into the main dish, the panang curry; which was creamy and bold on flavor. Usually, restaurants add a lot of coconut milk to dumb down the flavor, but at My Thai, it was as flavor as one would expect. That was honestly a good surprise. But due to the creaminess from the coconut milk, it did add a slight sweetness which was well companied by the thai chili's soaked in vinegar.

The soy chicken option in the panang curry may texturely resemble chicken. As I was raised a vegetarian, this may have been the incorrect choice for me. Goign tofu or all vegetables next time.

The thai coffee was on the sweeter side. But I do want to go back to try thier other vegan options.

The customer service was great. As I had gone alone, they were hospitable.

I'm more surprised that this place wasn't packed. But they did mention majority of thier lunch clients just call in to...

every time i’m desperate enough to come here, i’m reminded as to why this place should never be an option. it’s down the street and sometimes when i’m in a pinch, i’ll try to give this place the benefit of the doubt. before you even walk inside you are immediately met with the ugliest storefront that’s truly just an eyesore, Then you walk in and it just gets worse. The decor is actually the least significant of the issues with this place. The woman who owns it is a total maniac. Every time i’ve come here over the years she’s been insanely rude to me while i’m always polite and kind to her, and always leave a tip. Then you get to the food, and it is always just completely flavorless and sparse. it’s always a gamble. it used to be slightly better a few years ago. but now it’s 100/100 chance of dissatisfaction. if you dare to ask for any extras, or have even a slight objection to the food you’re served, you will be torn apart by that owner woman. She’s actually so scary. it’s especially puzzling for me because i know i’ve always been nice to her and never gave her a reason to act that way. i’ve seen her be incredibly rude to my mom as well. i would have less of an issue if the food was good, but it’s not. honestly, it’s terrible. Like awful. DONT COME HERE!! Amazing siam down the road is way better and they’re way...

Based on the other reviews, I’m guessing they must have just been having a bad day, but we had a horrible experience here. We placed an online order yesterday that was supposed to be ready at 1215. We showed up a little early and were told it wouldn’t be ready until 1220, which wasn’t a problem because we were early and we knew it may not be ready at that time. We came back and were told they were really backed up so it would be another 10 mins. Fast forward 10 mins, our food still isn’t ready and we’re told another 10 mins. To no surprise, we show up 10 minutes later and two of our items still weren’t ready. Finally, our food was ready at 1245, 30 minutes after we were supposed to pick it up. I understand the challenges of being understaffed, but had she just been honest with us from the start, we could have come back when the food was actually going to be ready instead of waiting in our car for 30 minutes. I was also frustrated because there was a couple who walked in to order and they got their food before us. Overall, the food was “fine.” The curry lacked any flavor, it just tasted like coconut milk, and the vegetable rolls were severely undercooked. Again, it seems like based on other reviews they had a bad day, but when you spend $150 on an order, you expect to get what...
