The waitress was flippant and was not very helpful, can sit in back vague then says this booth isn't clean yet, I did not want to sit next to restrooms. Some foods maybe ok, but ordered luch specials BBQ Chicken and Pad Thai, disapointed, chicken was very dry and hard bright red on outside, probably reheated several times, came with sweet and sour sauce. The Pad Thai, drowned in sweet and sour sauce and had small dish on the side with more sweet and sour sauce?, had like ten bean sprouts, tiny pinch of ground peanuts, two 1/2" pieces of green onion at least it was hot and freshly made unlike BBQ chicken. I would say food better at East Wind and Siam Best which are close, near Washington Blvd. this is a little north of Venice Blvd. I'm not coming back.

Tasty food, reasonable prices, friendly delivery. Thanks to the reviews here that were very accurate, I gave this place a try. I was happy with picking up my food and later was also pleased when I ordered for delivery. The ambiance may be a bit smokey for some but still very quaint. Reliable quality. Tastes great!

Great Thai Take out. I needed some flavorful comfort food quick! This place has the most authentic Thai food in Venice. Whether you fancy rice dishes, spicy soups, Thai salads, the ever famous Pad Thai or vegetarian entrees you will defiantly find something.

We shared the tom yum koong soup which was perfect for 2. Spicy, with shrimp, mushrooms and hints of lemon grass and ginger. Extra good because it was chilly out. We also ordered pad see-ew noodles with beef , so yummy, just like eating at home!

This place is perfect if you feel like curling up on your sofa and watching a movie on a cold night.

Great Family Run Thai Restaurant. Great food and it appears to be family run with very friendly service. We've stopped ordering delivery from elsewhere in the area and are pretty much Wirin devotees. Also helps that my kids started appreciating Thai food only after eating at Wirin.

The best thai around. I've gone to a lot of Thai restaurants but this place has the best curries ever. I go there all the time and take all my friends too. It's family run and there's only one server but shes always prompt, refills water before you're anywhere near the bottom, gives good recs, and is very friendly. I absolutely love their yellow chicken curry. its so good that you keep wanting to eat it even after you're full. the food is always high quality, the environment is clean and friendly, and the prices are great. I'd highly recommend this to everyone.

Outstanding Food. Ok, let's be honest here, the service isn't the best, I admit that, ONLY because they always seem short staffed. But my boyfriend and I never mind waiting. The food is worth the wait. The price is worth the wait. The decor is mediocre, but if you want oustanding Thai food, this is the place. Plain and simple. We love this place so much we come here 2-3 times a month, every month!

A not-so-nice experience. Stopped there to grab an order to go. A very nice setting, and a friendly young woman at the counter. Unfortunately, I can't recommend. When ordering, I asked if they use "msg in their food because I have a pretty bad reaction". Oh no, no msg she told me. Five hours later I was feeling the unsavory effects of a major dose. I don't wish them anything but well, but I was very displeased with the lack of honesty. If you're concerned about msg, then buyer beware.

good thai, cheap.. I have not tried the entire menu, but what I have tried was good. They never seem busy, I've never had to wait for a table. Family run joint, so sometimes there is not enough waitstaff. That aside, the place is great.
