Exotic Thai Cafe

Great food –parking lot is filthy and disgusting horrible –if you can get past the front door it’s great

AMAZING food. Recommend the Rama Thai forsure. But unfortunately, there is one thing detracting that 1star for the ⁴⁄₅ rating: the music. The place is ornately adorned and thoroughly decorated in Thai style, however hearing the omnipresent rock and roll and counties songs clearly offsets the concentrated setting.

Hands down my go to Thai place! Whether we dine In or carry out the food is always one point. The panang is by far the best I’ve had. I don’t think I’ve had anything on that menu we didn’t like. A weekly visit is a must. Definitely a must try!

I’ve eaten here a handful of times over a dozen years that I’ve lived in the valley. For the most part, their food is good, but nothing to write home about. My favorite dish here would probably be the duck curry. With that said, their $ 8 lunch special is hard to beat. You can get a small serving of pad thai along with an entrée.

We recently ordered take out and found the food to be really good for a local Thai. When I picked up the food the order was ready and correct and everyone was extremely friendly. We will be returning.

Ordered from here for the first time. Great food! Tried the pad Thai, chicken satay, egg rolls, and spicy Thai chicken. All great! Fast delivery too. Will definitely put this in our dinner rotation For take out

I’m a freak about Thai food and this place makes the best I have had in the SF valley
Soups is amazing
Everything is

Came here this past Sunday for lunch with my dad. In the beginning, I was already thinking of the not-​so-​great things I would complain about on Unilocal regarding their service. However, I have to say, the food is SO AMAZING, that it makes up for the subpar service. So good in fact, that despite the service, I am still rating 5 stars!
My complaint with the service was that the waitress did not smile or welcome us in or anything. Actually, I didn’t see her smile or show a hint of happiness even once during our time there. Even when she came to our table with drinks or food, she kinda just dropped it down and walked away. Also never refilled my water until I specifically asked.
HOWEVER, the food is A+++++. We got a large Tom Ka Gai with shrimp (the hot/​sour soup with coconut milk) and it was easily one of the best I’ve ever had. Then my dad got Panang curry and I got pineapple curry. Both were outstanding. My dad, who’s vacationed in Thailand twice, said the food tastes very authentic.
I’d definitely say this is my #1 choice for Thai food in the valley, at least from what I’ve tried so far.

This place is great! My favorite is the Nom Sod Salad, it’s just so perfect. I love the lime-​ginger flavor of this dish. My husband loves the chicken Rama Thai. Usually we get it delivered within 30 minutes and the staff is always friendly. I really have nothing negative to say!

I’ve been to Exotic Thai many times, their service is always excellent and the food is very delicious! We ordered the chicken satay, which was great with their peanut dipping sauce… Then we got the spicy eggplant with beef, pad kee mow (the drunken noodles) with shrimp, and some brown rice on the side! Extremely satisfied and will be coming back soon. P. s– try the Thai tea with boba, YUM!

Nice ambiance, awful food.
Chicken satay was raw/​pink in center.
Ordered chicken egg rolls, received veggie egg rolls. Veggie egg rolls were not fresh and the garnishes (chopped cabbage) around the rolls were just as dry and old as the veggies in the roll.
Terrible experience, but worst of all. not safe.

I had the lunch special with a thai iced coffee. The ambience was great and we will definitely be coming back very soon!

The best part is the ambiance, I love the back hallway and bathroom too, but I think that’s why they charge extra.
The food is very bland and the most expensive in the valley $ 30-​$ 50 for two people. I’ve been here five times and I figured that was enough chances. The $ 10 fried rice is oily and if you ask for extra spicy expect mild. The $ 10 green curry is very thin and weak in flavor. The $ 10 mango and sweet rice had really old rice. The spring rolls are decent. The $ 10 satay chicken on a stick is good. The $ 5 cucumber salad only has cucumbers (normally has onion and jalapeño which contributes to the taste) so theirs is bland…$ 5 for a side order wtf. The service was fine and there was no long wait. It’s usually empty when I go in there and the workers are always eating at the table near the hallway. Last time I ordered it to go and when I got home I noticed they charged me for 2 fried rice but only gave me one. The portions are normal.
Overall the food is lacking ingredients and spice. The food is just ok and overpriced. Service is ok. If they started adding more ingredients instead of being cheap and make the food better I might even pay the extra… Na it’s just too expensive

Food is really good! We had the exotic spring rolls, cashew chicken and pad Thai noodles. All had wonderful flavors. We topped it off with green tea and coconut ice cream, which were very refreshing! Yum!

I used them for a company lunch this past Tuesday. Their food is DELICIOUS! I will definitely purchase from this place again :)
Coordinating our order and getting all the fixings was a breeze with Amie. In addition, they delivered early and that’s saying a lot these days

We love this place. We had the chicken larb, garlic salmon and won ton soup. All super good and fresh.
Don’t forget to ask for full lettuce leafs with the chicken larb so you can enjoy it like a taco instead of like a salad. The salmon is served with a great garlic sauce over a bed of spinach that is a tad wilted from the hot salmon served on top of it. All in all a good meal.

I’m a regular at Exotic Thai their food is always super fresh and cooked to order, you can have it a spicy or as mild as you like. They’re always willing to customize your order, I like to add broccoli to my order and make things extra spicy. They’re always willing to accommodate. They also have tofu as an option in every dish which is great for non-​carnivores.
This location is not very busy compared to some of the others but the food is still good. They have a quiet dining room and take out available.

Exotic Thai has the best Thai food in the area, in my opinion.
Service is pretty good, the only thing about this place, though, is you REALLY have to get to know them, before they realize how spicy you actually want your dish to be.
Apparently, the majority of the people who order something and want it spicy, can’t handle the heat, and end up sending it back to the kitchen.
I’m not sure I’ve ever sent a dish back in my life, I certainly wouldn’t think of doing such a thing, especially when it’s because they altered it exactly how I asked them too! I have to look into the servers eyes and say, «Thai spicy, seriously, make this shit HOT!», and pray it’ll come out that way. Perhaps they should have a heat scale of 1 – 5?
Try their Spicy Eggplant with beef.

Quite frequently we engineers and my boss will come here for lunch and let me tell you, the food is great. The lunch specials are not expensive, very good and decently portioned.
My Favorite Lunch Special
1. Pad Thai
2. Spicy Beef
3. Thai Iced Coffee
This is my go to Thai Restaurant in Woodland Hills!

Probably the best Thai Food place in the vicinity.
Good:
— Gorgeous décor everywhere, including the bathroom.
— Fast service.
— Great tasting food. We tried the Pad Thai with chicken. excellent! Tried the Sizzling chicken plate with spinach and broccoli and peanut sauce… excellent!
— Reasonable prices.
— Fresh vegetables, not frozen.
— Large a la carte portions.
— Offer lunch specials for $ 7.
— Offer free condiments (spicy peppers, pepper sauce etc)
— Have a TV that is showing some sports games.
Bad:
— Parking is terrible.
— Waitress could be a little more upbeat/​happier.
— Extra meat a little overpriced at $ 3 for an al a carte plate.
— They charge an extra $ 1 for brown rice.
— Their receipt is hard to understand.
Overall, I give Exotic Thai 4 stars. Mostly because of the food, ambiance and prices. The parking is a whole different issue that I can’t hold Exotic Thai accountable for.
I recommend coming here.
