ZEN YAI Thai Noodles

Seems google had some bugs and glitches as I had posted this review a month ago. Here it goes again. This is a pretty authentic Thai restaurant except for the lowered spice level for American taste buds. If you want Thai level spiciness you need to tell them. Their fried dishes are amazing especially the spring rolls and fried banana dessert dish. Som tam papaya salad is done in authentic style. Their yen ya fo noodles was also authentic except that the flat bowl is better to use than the tall ramen bowl to allow the red bean sauce gets dispersed better. Overall this place is a better choice for authentic Thai cuisine. Parking lot is small since it share it with another good restaurant. There is paid street parking available as well.

This little low-key Thai noodle spot is so fire! I’m a huge fan of drunken noodles (it’s my go-to dish at every Thai restaurant) and I’ve got to say, this place nailed it! The flavor, the spice, the texture, everything was just on point. I ordered the tofu version, and it came out perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, soaking up all that amazing sauce. Seriously one of the best versions I’ve had in L.A. It’s one of those unassuming spots that surprises you with how good the food is. Everything tasted fresh and full of authentic flavor. Don't want to gate keep here, but this is definitely one of those hidden gems you want to keep to yourself. The 5 stars with 70+ reviews got me and it does live up to the hype. If you love Thai food, especially noodles, you need to try thi

The food was so amazing that we forgot to take photos. We cleared our plates! There are fifty leven amazing Thai options in LA, but so far this is my favorite one. The papaya salad WAS INSANE. All the unami without being too seafood-y. It was so flavorful and refreshing. Even the fried rice was so good. The stand out for me was the Khao soi. It had whole pieces of bone in chicken and served with really delicious pickled mustard greens. We can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu!

Googled Thai food. This one had the best reviews so I came. Food was excellent. Service was great. Their Kao Soi and Paypaya salad was delicious like in Thailand. Flavors on point. I will be back for sure! Highly recommended.

Absolutely Delicious! Zenyai Thai Noodles hits all the right notes—super flavorful food, fast and friendly service, and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and every dish was packed with fresh, bold flavors. Great vibe, great staff, and seriously good Thai food. Highly recommend!
