Delicious. Not the most personable staff but who cares when it's that good. Highly recommend the

This place is a sure fire LA valley Thai spot. I used to come here with an ex that got me hip. Despite her ripping my heart out and throwing it throughs a wood chipper, I still come here because the food is that good. I just wear a fake mustache and white eye contacts in the off chance she walks in the door. Anyways, the waitstaff is legit. They are so polite and the place has overall great ambiance. Keep up the solid food y'all.

I have been coming here for years and the food and service have been consistently great. I love ordering the green or panang curry, or the drunken noodles. They also have great Thai tea. I usually order pickup but if I bring someone here I like sitting outside on the patio for dinner with the cute lights.

This was the first Rustic Spoon location I ever tried, so I definitely have a soft spot for it. Their outdoor patio is so cute. I always thought it was a great spot for a date. I ordered for take out this time, and unfortunately the night I came in the power was out. LA heatwaves, amirite? Regardless of that hiccup, the staff there was very friendly and did everything they could via candlelight. I was impressed! I ordered a beef salad, chicken pad thai and some gyoza. The dipping sauce for the gyoza was delightful. Chicken pad thai was a really huge portion. It was good, but not my absolute favorite pad thai ever. The Beef salad was really good, but it was just beef and not so much a salad. The beef itself and the sauce it was in was so delicious. Tender and flavorful, however I felt like it was lacking greens. I definitely do love this place and will continue to get food from here when I'm in the NoHo area. While take out is never a bad idea, I do recommend dining al fresco on their enclosed patio.

Like the location and the setting. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Dumplings, salad roll's, and other options were great. Would definitely visit again.

You haven't experienced life until you are sitting down at this amazing Thai place, listening (because they are talking at full volume) to a first date, which, yep they are in the "industry", as associate producers. I learned Jared the producer likes punch. Thankfully my friend showed up, and then we decided to eat. We started with the veggie egg rolls with plum sauce. Damn, these are good. The filling, everything. And not greasy which is huge. My friend went with the Tom Ka Soup and loved it. The mains: I have a garlic intolerance, and was eyeing the Pad Kee Ew, which in the menu says it's sauce has garlic and a black bean sauce. It does not note this on the web. Happy to report, no garlic sauce, nor bb in It, so the menu is wrong. I went with the shrimp. Amazing. The broccoli in it, the sauce, very light and toss in the shrimp with the noodles - yummy high five. My friend went with the Crispy Fried Chicken and really enjoyed it. The sauce it comes with is similar tasting to the plum sauce with the egg rolls. I tried one small piece of the crispy chicken and was impressed. The coating (made of wheat) was light and crunchy, the chicken was fine and again no grease. Service is outstanding. As for the first date with the APs, who we learned one is now a PA (production assistant), it looked like a second date was going to happen, although we were surprised to see they were each wearing sweatpants. Those kids!

Delicious Thai food is served here. My husband and I had lunch here after an appointment and loved the food. The chicken fresh rolls were so good that I will go back just to eat that. Served with a special sauce. We also shared a pad see ew and a chicken eggplant dish. Both very flavorful, saucy and delicious. It's a cute cozy restaurant. Parking can be challenging. Service is ok, could have been better but the reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is because of their serving-ware and glassware. Our water and lemonade was served in these tall acrilic worn out cups that looked so bad. And one of the dishes had a chip. Once we sat down all excited to eat here the waitress brought out the water and we are like omg what is this. Can't they buy glass cups to serve their water and juices in ? Look at the picture I took and you will know what I mean. Very unappealing. We couldn't drink it. Overall it's a great place to have lunch or dinner Most importantly the food is great and next time I'm here I won't get any drinks. Or if they offer bottled drinks I'll get that. Also I noticed they have another location in Valley Village so I'll have to try that one as well. Hope they are not using the same glassware. Lol

Craving Thai on my lunch break, came here based on reviews! The interior and patio are cuter than you'd expect, based on the surroundings. The service is immediately lovely and attentive. Menu is odd, it's already pretty short, and multiple items are crossed off (how much do I want to try the now defunct crab spring roll?!) Got the Pad Thai with fried tofu. The flavors were terrific, texture of noodles was perfect. This was a saucier pad Thai, with almost no char. I don't mind this, but I feel like those are the two "types" so I mention it. I really can't say enough about the service. I love a place that packs your leftovers for you and she even packed the remainder of my Thai iced tea in a to go cup. A bit pricey, with tax and tip I spent $30 on lunch for one. Though portion wise you could easily split a noodle dish with a friend.
