I go to Thailand every winter and this is the best, authentic thai food I've had here. It's simply exceptional. You have to try it if you love good thai food. They do a lot of carry out business but they have seating. Anybody who knows anything about thai food would give it 5 stars.
Delicious Thai food and exceptional service. It has becoming our to go place without a doubt for Thai food. Quality and price are always great. Kind service when we made a mistake on our order. We’ve never been disappointed.
New fav Thai spot , never disappointed the food it's really good, the staff is really nice!
It’s great to have a new Thai place in South Torrance. Friendly service and the food is great. Recommend the tom kar soup, chicken satay and red curry. You must have a fresh coconut to wash it all down!
Good Service and food is delicious.

I've only picked up their food as takeout twice, so I can't really speak to the atmosphere other than saying it feels welcoming: the restaurant is located in Vista Montana proper, and doesn't have a parking area immediately in front or behind -- but this place is worth it. Found a few doors down from Mongol King, there is a small set of steps and a wheelchair ramp up from the sidewalk that get you right in the door. I've been tasting my way through their appetizers, and haven't found a miss yet -- today, it was their fried tofu and the entire order was delightfully crisp and still pleasantly chewy inside. I also got their tom yum soup for the second time; theirs is rapidly becoming my favorite version jn the area since Thai Thani closed. Word of warning, this kitchen very much understands Thai hot seasoning -- I picked medium last time since I like spice, and it cleared my sinuses for me. Today I went mild, and got pleasant heat along with a very flavorful soup. Their Thai iced tea -- both original and green -- is SWEET without being actively cloying. I also love their fried bananas, which are gently mashed banana wrapped in a wonton wrapper and fried, upping the banana's sweetness and giving a really nice crunch to the dessert. I wish it was offered without the ice cream too, but that means whomever I'm eating with gets a generous helping of coconut ice cream. Point is, I'm a fan after only 2 visits. This place is definitely worth giving a try, and going back for more.
Drove by and finally tried this restaurant. Very small and quaint establishment. Friendly service and good food. Pad thai was tasty. Beef salad was tasty as well. Also in this crazy time of high inflation this establishment is reasonable.
Delicious authentic Thai food and great service. We recommend it. **But if you don't really understand Thai food, we don't recommend it.
Good and quick Thai food with great/friendly service. They should definitely be busier, and I'd like this place to stay!
Food and restaurant staff awesome! We will be back

This used to be the Korean Honey Chicken restaurant. Kind sweet lady, owner? who took my to go order before they closed on a rainy Tues night. Very good Pad Krapow , ordered Medium which is plenty spicy! Perhaps a little more green beans..seem scanty but decent amount of pork protein which was tender and flavorful..will try with chicken next time. Good value as it came with lovely jasmine rice..prob order extra rice if too spicy. Also the Tom Yum soup excellent flavor. Had ordered solo portion..ample and filling. Only drag was the Wings Appetizers..had thought there might be Thai dousing with a spicy kick, but they were just fried up regular wings with drumettes..dipping sauce was good though...think since I ordered so late, the chef was tired...prob order Thai egg rolls next time. Maybe offer fried fish cakes? This was my first time ordering since its closed by the time I get home nearby. Restaurant closes at 8:30. I will dine in next time and treat myself ...interesting other dishes to try out like the crab omelette.

The food wasn’t great. I ordered Pad See Ew and instead of broccoli it came with spinach (or maybe it was bokchoy). The chicken tasted gamey. They serve your hot food in plastic containers, which you will pickup at the counter, with plastic utensils. For a sit down place, who wants to eat their food in a plastic containers?
I decided to give Spice and Spoon a try since it’s a Thai restaurant and I was excited to see vegan options on the menu. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The tofu was hard and rubbery, and the Pad See Ew came with bok choy and spinach instead of the traditional broccoli. The dish also lacked flavor overall. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be coming back.

I hate leaving bad reviews, but I need to warn people and maybe this will help them improve. The curry was so watery and bland and the potatoes were not cooked. The Ka Prao had so many random ingredients in there, it was so far from authentic. The pad see ew had the wrong seasonings, it was so off. All around just bad food.
Wouldn’t recommend this place they need to improve their cooking skill padthai taste like cooked in ketchup, redcurry was too watery. Everything was served in plastic even we were dining in
