Tahntawan Thai Kitchen - Marina del Rey

If I could give this restaurant 5 stars, I would. The mango salad and Tom Kha with tofu were light and refreshing, bursting with delicious flavors. There are plenty of options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians, so everyone will find something to enjoy! The ambiance is a bit lacking and it feels somewhat like a hole in the wall, but the lovely terrace makes up for it. Updated from my previous review on October 14, 2022.

One of my favorite local spots! Her green curry is fantastic (you can opt for either vegetarian or add tofu), and the summer rolls are incredibly fresh. I also really enjoy the mango salad (without fish sauce). The small terrace is located on the second floor of a strip mall, and they offer adult drinks at the bar. It’s also a convenient stop if you’re on your way to the Venice Pier or the beach.

This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal and everything is made to order! Trust me, they prepare every dish from scratch. The seafood pad thai is exceptional—truly out of this world. It's also vegan-friendly, featuring fresh ingredients at fantastic prices. The owner has a background in running a vegan restaurant, so he’s well-versed in plant-based options. The meats and seafood are packed with authentic Thai flavors, perfect for anyone who has visited Thailand. Additionally, the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I also really enjoy the sake and drinks they offer!
