Ayuthaya Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Santa Clarita

Been here twice now. Friendly atmosphere. Owners are very welcoming. Coming here, the food is phenomenal. Flavor notes of the dishes and fresh ingredients was used throughout. Dishes we had were the, marinated chicken wings, Goong Ob woonsen w/ shrimp (glass noodles), Tom Yum Soup w/ Shrimp and Chef P's Special Crab Fried Rice.

Marinated chicken wings - well coated wings, with fried garlic strips on top as garnish. Tasted very well with savory notes especially with the sauce added to the side. The wings are made well done and was hot when it got to our table. Both my brother and I finished and enjoyed that dish.

Tom Yum Soup w/ Shimp - Great dish! This is my favorite thai soup. Real ingredients and especially the kafir leaves and crushed chopped lemon grass for the soup. Flavors were medium spicy and you taste all the great flavors you have with this soup. Definitely a must order for me.

Goong Ob Woonsen w/ Shrimp - This is a great dish. Long vermicelli glass noodles with vegetables. Forgot to take a picture of this dish. The noodles were soaked in with rich flavor of seafood broth as well as the shrimp were all plump and juicy with the dish. It was a large dish that my brother and I didn't get to finish. A lot of flavor in this dish.

Chef P's Special Crab Fried Rice - One of my favorite dishes at this restaurant. Heard that this was the dish to try, this is why I didn't get this on my first visit, but now I know why I had to come here and get it on my second visit. Taste of different meats of the crab from the body to the legs. Unlike other restaurants I've been to where they lack the crab meat on crab fried rice and it's mostly egg. Ayuthaya doesn't skimp out and you taste the flavors of the crab throughout. Also, try it with the sauce that comes on the side. Brings more flavor out in this signature dish. When I come here again, this is the dish to always get so it will be my staple go to.

All in all experience. Ayuthaya has great atmosphere and food came out just in time. Well courteous staff and ownership. Very clean inside and decor is very nuanced. Will come...

We just learned about this place that is in the same location as a Thai restaurant that we used to love and we couldn't wait to try it. We couldn't have been more disappointed. The Tom Kha was simply the worst I've ever had, way too much chili oil, though I understand that some like it spicy, but it was so over the top that none of the other flavors were recognizable and that is the beauty of Tom Kha, it's depth and complexity which was completely destroyed. The pad see u (their spelling, not mine) was the opposite. It was flavorless and bland. The rice was equally unremarkable. The Thai tea was watery and lacked the sweet creaminess that makes Thai tea such a yummy treat. I could go on, but the basic take away is that everything was either overly spicy or totally bland and the only seasoning that was recognize-able was chili powder/oil. I definitely would not recommend to anyone who...

Very average Thai food. We ordered chicken pad Thai which was bland, no sprouts, average portion. The Tom ka soup was slightly funky tasting. The beef entrée we ordered was probably our least favorite. It was supposed to be spicy but lacked any kind of spice or taste and the portion was ridiculously small for a twenty dollar plate. I asked our waitress for more pickled Jalapeños because there were only a few left in the little jar on our table and her response was that she'd bring me more when I finished what was there. We asked for chopsticks, they brought over one pair for two people. I asked for some napkins she brought over exactly two. The second time I asked for more Jalapeños, she barely refilled the jar with with a few more pieces. Pretty stingy considering we ordered sixty dollars worth of food...
