Thai Yaki — Restaurant in Santa Clarita

In a crowded field of Thai restaurants where most do the baseline job of providing good enough Thai standards, Thai Yaki stands out as offering truly delicious food with chef-driven recipes.

We've been twice now, ordered different items on both visits, and really loved everything we got. Complimentary egg rolls come with your meal (enough for one per person) so you might save a few dollars and not order them if one is enough for you.

So far we've tried the Green Curry Fried rice with tofu. (really crave-worthy and delicious), the Panang Curry (a peanut-based sauce, also with tofu, also delicious), the Garlic Pepper Tofu (completely unique and amazing crispy on the outside, soft on the inside tofu offering), and the Thai Sukiyaki Noodle Soup with vegetarian broth. (Hearty and also delicious.)

We also love how easy it is to be a vegetarian at Thai Yaki. Anything can be made with tofus the protein and the soups all have a vegetarian broth option.

The staff here are nice...it was about 2 months between our visits and our server remembered us and fielded all our dietary restriction questions like a pro. (An honest pro, she didn't know the answers to everything but was happy to check.) We also met the owner who told us about her husband's recipes which the menu is based on.

We've had Thai food all over the place and put what we had here among the best we've had anywhere. There's a real attention to detail in the way the food tastes.

We will eat and order from...

I have traveled all over the US for work and always end up trying to shop at a local establishment to help out the small businesses - rarely do I find somewhere I place on my list to come back to in my personal time if I am around, but Thai Yaki is one of those places I'd definitely come back to in the area.

I ordered a Chicken Pad Thai and a Chicken Satay, both were ready in about 15 minutes for me to take to my hotel. The inside of the establishment is clean, decorated nicely, and has great lighting.

I took my food to my hotel and it was still piping hot after about 15 minutes, the Pad Thai (pictured) was massive, after (5) Chicken Satay Skewers I was only able to finish it after taking a 2hr break. The portion size for to-go was huge and usually that's never the case. The vegetables were crisp, and the pickled chillis and cucumbers on the side with the Satay were AMAZING. Those are the reason I'd come back.

This is definitely a good bang for your buck if you're in the area for Six Flags and looking to feed your family.

My one complaint/suggestion is they don't allow spice level changes on the Pad Thai, it was flavorful but really equated to like a 1 star, I wish I could have gotten a little more spice to into really feel the food, but the flavors were all still there despite not being as spicy as I...

Would like to add I made a yelp specifically for this restaurant and they delete google reviews. Ordered pad Thai and pineapple fried rice. The pineapple fried rice was dry, only had 2 shrimp, 1/16 dry cup worth of hard chicken, 5 raisins and 6 cashew halves no pineapple. The pad Thai was clumped and stiff, asked for extra chicken and broccoli (broc) (no option to add so specified in directions for extra chicken and broccoli) and added a generous tip on pick up since there was no option to charge but none was added and there was only about 1/16 cup of chicken in the less than appealing Pad Thai. When I arrived the staff acted as though I did not tip, said they added extra chicken (did not) and that broc was typo as vroc and they didn't know what that was and when explained stated it'd be 2 dollars more to add even though we left a very generous tip on a pick up order only for this to be added. The restaurant itself smells of mold and mildew from water damaged and when I called in to check on when the order would be ready I was "placed on hold" which consisted of sitting for 10 minutes while listening to the staff laugh because they did not hold correctly. There are far better Thai restaurants in the area please save yourself the disappointment and...
