Bangkok West Thai - Santa Monica

The Best Tai restaurant in California!!! Really good food....service...and ambiance!!!

Saturday night was our first time here. I can't believe I lived in Santa Monica for so long and didn't know about it. That's what happens when you drive most of the time. We were walking by and on our way somewhere else for dinner when we stopped in. We love Thai food and the place was beautiful and inviting . We stayed for dinner and had Panang curry with pork and pad Thai and it was delicious!! Their hot sake is one of the best I've tasted (we just wish it was a larger size: Our server, Sydney was wonderful! She was friendly and helpful and made our first visit to Bangkok West Thai a great experience. Thank you!

Excellent food. Definitely recommend. I had Pad Thai and my partner had the whole cod. We both ate it all despite very large portions. Fresh spring rolls also super tasty, good twist on the usual. We ate in and staff were friendly but appeared to be SUPER busy with take out orders and a never ending line of grumpy delivery service drivers.

I was there on vacation with the family and went to several pricey restaurants, but Bangkok West was the real surprise, for half the price of the other restaurants we got a meal that was twice better. Easily the best meal we had on that vacation, their fried rice is probably the best I've ever head and as New Yorker, I had many the restaurant is also very pleasant and the staff is beyond friendly, I also had a great soup, and a great yellow curry, as well as an amazing desert which is thai version of a crepe but that even being on a strict diet, I could not resist. Truly a great restaurant and I would go there again when I am back in LA.

Nice cozy comfortable place with great service and amazing food. The portions were good for one and the balance of flavors and hot spice was perfect. After a long while we were finally able to finish all that we ordered instead of doggie-bagging the leftovers. Staff was great and explained everything well.
