Vim Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

The first time I went to them I ordered two orders of beef with bell peppers and onions, it was well made, tasty, and seemed like quality fresh ingredients (and the hot spicy sauce served on the side was great too, hot but not too hot). I've had beef with bell pepper and onions from Chinatown Express for example (at Normandie Ave and Beverly Blvd), and that was bad, didn't compare to Vim Thai's restaurant quality, and the Chinatown Express offering costs almost the same. Soon I will try more food offerings from Vim Thai. I've tried all of the Thai places in my neighborhood, and Vim Thai seems to be one of the better ones, though also one of the more expensive. Soon after trying their beef with bell peppers and onions, in late 2020 I went back to them and tried their “BBQ beef with hot sauce” offering, bought two orders. My order tasted good and was cooked good, was not burned. My friend’s plate though had a lot of heavily charred beef pieces, not sure if there were as many as she said, because I didn’t examine everything she had in her plate before she ate, but I did see some heavily charred pieces. Neither of us like it when the beef is too burned, but my carton (this was take-out) didn’t have any heavily charred pieces, only some lightly charred, and that’s fine and to be expected with BBQ. I am interested in trying more from their menu, but I prefer to go to other local Thai restaurants regularly because Vim Thai is more expensive and not as good as Thai Original BBQ at Maplewood...

Esmerelda SUCKS!!!!! Extremely unprofessional. Rude and then she deliberately interfered with the kitchen remaking our pad thai with no egg due to an allergy. They put the eggs on there before which was the initial issue but they agreed to fix it. Everyone was kind respectful and willing to rectify the problem then there was Esmerelda going out of her way to insert herself and offer poor customer service then then started digging her hands in our order when the kitchen was already taking care of it i didn't see her wash her hands after coming from the front to the back and one of the portions had no chicken at all on it which I know esmerelda had a hand in it. Im sure if they check the cameras on 06/17/2025 between the hours of 3pm and 4pm they can watch her disrupting the quality of our food. Not sure if this was racially motivated but she had a interesting disposition towards me that didn't match the level of service we are accustomed to at this Establishment we love this place but this experience definitely shifted...

I can't wait for the Pico Rivera location to be opened! Parking is not as bad as before. The few times I have been, it's fairly easy. Prices are definitely up this year, but you pay for what you get for. In comparison to Thai Osha Classic restaurant, this would definitely be the cleaner version, not dirty. Food quality is definitely better. The restroom does need improvement. The 2 times I went, there was no hand soap available. Which is obviously a health and safety violation. This is what I ordered: Sea Food Soup, Rice, Egg Roles, Chicken...
