Excellent thai food! Every dish was delicious as was their iced Thai tea. We had a great meal and shared the orange chicken, ginger chicken and the paradise beef. We also had a vegetable soup and a tom kha soup. Both were excellent!
This restaurant offers vegetarian Thai food. There is no meat or chicken in this place. We got chicken nuggets and beef damage for appetizers and Teryakki and steak foe enteere and they were all delicious and yummy. Will definitely try it again. Also the coconut juice was really good.
Just moved to the area nearby and wanted some pho or a rich noodle soup. Was not very excited about "kosher Thai," but decided to do a takeout of their pho with rice noodles. Added soft white tofu. OMG SHOCKER! IT WAS AMAZING! The veggies were very fresh, the broth was sensational, and the serving was most likely for two people. Cleverly, the rice noodles were packaged separately, so there was plenty of bounce and no sog - fragrant, rich soup, crunchy vegetables and yummy noodles. I'm not ashamed to say I ate everything in one sitting. I will definitely be back, because this neighborhood gem deserves detailed investigations :-)
The food is delicious, but the attitude from the host (I believe owner) could be much warmer. When we had a small concern about a drink, the response felt dismissive rather than helpful. A little more friendliness and customer care and service would really elevate the experience.
My wife has been telling me about Bodhi Kosher Thai for years -- that they are the most authentic Thai food in the kosher world. On a recent trip to LA, I finally got to experience what she was talking about and was not let down. They were not especially busy when we arrived, around 1PM on a Thursday. Owner was courteous and gave us an appropriate amount of time to peruse the menu. After some deliberation (my wife knew what she wanted, but I took longer), we ordered the Fresh Roll, Tom Yum soup, Pad Thai, Curry Noodle, Damage Beef and Thai Iced Tea. The Fresh roll rice paper was delightful and the Pad Thai was serviceable. The Curry was authentic and the Thai Iced Tea had an unusual flavor due to the spices that I recommend for the culinary experience. However, the two big stars were definitely the Tom Yum soup, for its amazingly explosive and hearty flavor, and, unexpectedly, the Damage Beef. I ordered this for the name alone, not expecting anything special, but we were taken completely by surprise. The Damage Beef was extremely addictive and couldn't stop eating it over all the other dishes. The entire trip may have been worth it just to discover how delicious the Thai interpretation of Beef Jerky could be. LA is not hurting for kosher options, but we definitely look forward to our next visit, at least to get a few more orders of Damage Beef.
This was the best meal of my life!! I got spicy noodles, crispy roles, and damage beef. The waitresses were so sweet and the whole place was just so awesome! Will come again
