Best

Excellent place, delicious food, solid drinks. Pros: null Cons: null

Worst

I thought this place would be rocking considering how many people rave about it. Prices were steep, small portions and I couldn't figure out why they had sushi and fortune cookies...

Horrible customer service 4/7/2007

The customer service is horrible. My boyfriend and I went there at 5:30pm on a Friday night. Take note that there was not a lot of people there yet. We were seated very quickly, but it took 15 minutes before a server came over to our table to take our drinks and orders. What kind of service is that? The food also took a long time to come out. The taste of the food was average; nothing spectacular. I don't think we would go back to this restaurant for a very long time. Go find some place else for good Thai food. Pros: Nothing. Cons: Horrible customer service, rude staff, food is not that great, parking more

Good late night take-out 2/28/2007

This was one of the first Thai restaurants I went to when I moved to Culver City. My thought was, "wow, this is a beautiful restaurant", and then the food came. Equally as good. I would recommend any of the curry dishes, Jade or Ruby. The soups are good too. It gets pretty busy, so sometimes I just call in my order and pick it up to avoid the crowd. Pros: food, ambience Cons: crowded more

My favorite place when I'm craving some thai 2/23/2007

I LOVE Natalee Thai. All their dishes (that I've tried...and there are a bunch) are delicious. It's very reasonably priced. Their wonton soup is without a doubt the best tasting soup I've had. I reccomend either dining there or taking out b/c despite their wonderful food, the one thing they are teeeerrible about it delivery...it usually takes at least an hour. Although it gets really crowded, there's a bar to get a few drinks while you wait and the service is fast, so there's nothing to worry about. It's also a good lunch spot, offering a bunch of lunch specials. Pros: Yum Cons: Delivery service more

caterpillar on my friend's garnish 1/25/2007

I've ordered takeout from Natalee Thai tons of times and had a very good experience. A few friends and I went to the restaurant to check out the place. My friend ordered the Pad Thai and removed the garnish from his plate...and took a bite before realizing that the garnish was moving. There was an enormous (about 2 inches long) caterpillar on the leaf. There are two ways of looking at this: 1) that the garnish was fresh and 2) that this was seriously disgusting. The rest of us lost our appetite and asked to leave. The management didn't apoloize or comp our appetizers; instead they asked if it was "alright" if he kept the same plate and then removed the offending garnish. We left without eating anything else. Gross. more

Horrible service, less-than-impressive food 1/16/2007

Unfortunately my second time at Natalee will keep me from EVER going back. A group of 4 of us went for dinner and had a 15 minute wait, which was fine.. We were seated and had to wait a little bit before our server finally came to take our order. She was pleasant but it seemed like FOREVER before our food started to arrive. Two different guys were bringing our dishes out, all at different times -- and they were handling the plates carelessly, brushing their hands up against the food. Not only that -- the plates were huge while the portions were normal, but there was no room on the table to put it all! We also had to ask our server TWICE to check on 2 missing entrees. They arrived 15-20 minutes later. My friend had ordered a side of sticky rice and it arrived in a ball of aluminum foil in a small bowl. She opened it up and it looked NASTY -- like 2 day old rice. Needless to say, I will not be going back. Service was awful, food was ok but we sorta lost our appetites in the end. Cons: Service, Food more

Nothing Special 11/24/2006

I tried this place, which is near my home, based on the suggestion of a co-worker who couldn't stop gushing about it. The place is really new and clean, compared to most Thai establishments, but the food was so-so (isn't it always the dirty places that taste the best???). I got the pad thai, which wasn't as sweet as I'd like, and some other dishes that weren't so memorable. Comparatively, it's also a little more expensive than traditional Thai places that serve better, more flavourful food. I don't get why the place is always soo packed (I guess many people prefer the cleanliness over the taste)---maybe it's the pretty waitresses? Pros: clean, ample parking, pretty waitresses Cons: food lacks flavour more

I don't get it... 11/24/2006

There are so many better thai food places in the city. The food we ordered was cold, the service was slow (maybe that's why the food was cold)... it just wasn't worth it. Maybe this place is nice on the eyes... but I'm looking to go to a place where I want to eat again... Pros: There were pros? Cons: Food, service, value... more

You won't be disappointed 11/20/2006

This place rocks I been here a couple of times and I truly enjoy the food and the drinks. Actually my first time eating Thai food was at Natalee's. My favorite dish is the Flaming Chicken Dish and I love the Thai Iced Tea. The place is nice and hip and you see a lot of people that look like they work for the studios. If you want to have a nice dinner in a nice atmosphere than this is the place to go. more

cute restaurant! 11/17/2006

it looks like a trailor from the outside, but when you go inside, the ambience is amazing. They have a sushi bar, but I've never ordered anything from there. I say, you stick to the thai food. They service big portions, but sometimes the food comes a little slowly. I've had my pad see ew come out cold before. Nice waiters and waitresses, though. Pros: thai iced tea, good portions Cons: slow service, sometimes crazy parking more

Affordable and Healthy 11/16/2006

I feel like I'm indulging in a much more expensive night out when I go here- but the price is very affordable. And they have healthy choices like steamed fish & veggies and brown rice! more

Fun Spot for Good Thai Food 11/13/2006

This may not be the best Thai food ever - but it's always a fun, bustling place to be and the food is affordable and pretty good. I particularly like the curries (california chicken curry - yum!) and the appetizers. Great local spot (and they deliver according to my friend who lives nearby). Pros: Great curries; Fun Spot more

Versatile Menu, great prices! 11/10/2006

I liked this place. It had a great mix of a little bit of everything. The food is tasty, and reasonably priced. I recommend the sushi here too. I know it's supposed to be Thai, but the have decent sushi as well. Pros: Great prices, good lunch spot more

Close to the studios and tasty for what it is 10/29/2006

A great spot to go out for a nice lunch when you have a bit of extra time. Lunch during the week can get hectic, so arriving early helps to avoid long waits. For a Thai restaurant, the sushi's actually not half bad! Sushi at a Thai restaurant, you ask? Well..it's not *really* Thai. More of an Asian Fusion place with a little bit of everything, but leaning heavily towards Thai dishes. The Pad Thai noodles are pretty good and the sushi lunch specials are decent; Natalee has some of the best spicy tuna rolls I've had in LA, oddly enough. The Hi Yo Silver plate is sort of weird and I wouldn't get it again. Sticking to the basics is recommended. Pros: really cool ambience, decent Thai Cons: not much parking, gets crowded, inconsistent service more

good neighborhood thai restaurant 10/29/2006

i enjoy coming to this neighborhood thai restaurant. the price is not bad and the food is not bad either. i would not say that the food is spectacular but for the price and the fast service, it is a very good deal. the wing ding (appetizer) is an interesting concept -- stuffed chicken wing with vermicelli. it is good but i think that the best appetizer is the gulf of thailand shrimp roll. you can't go wrong with any of the fried rice selections. the pad see-iw is not bad (although a little bit on the greasy side). it could get hectic during the peak hours but the servers are generally friendly. more

Watered Down Thai 10/19/2006

Granted I have been spoiled by the real thing in Thailand, I feel this place is just average. There are better places that serve some really good authentic Thai in the LA area. This place has all its dishes watered down to please the bland American palate. The restauraunt itslef is really nice. I would only reccomend it to someone who is into the superficial ambience and less interested in the food. more

Best Thai food 10/17/2006

This place has got the best Thai food in LA. Hands down. I love the food. I've tried three dishes-curry beef (panang), beef & string bean, and papaya salad. Yum! Very flavorful. Service were friendly and decent. It's a joy to come here. Great for a big group! Pros: Delicious food Cons: None more

Good Thai Food 9/21/2006

I am a fan of Natalie Thai. The food is very good (try some of the spicy dishes) and the prices are extremely reasonable. Portionas are good sized and I often cannot finish my whole meal. I have been there several times and have always been impressed with the service, that staff is very friendly. I am not that big of a fan of the interior on the Venice location as it is very big and spacious and the noise carries quite a bit. However, this is not a problem if you choose to sit outside on the patio. I'll be back. more

Bland and Boring 8/24/2006

This is Thai food for people who eat McDonalds. It's got all the Thai ingredients and the food is fresh, but it lacks taste. The clientele is strictly LA wanna-be. Pros: fresh ingredients Cons: bland food, wannabe clientele more

Best CHINESE Tasting Thai Food in L.A.! 7/19/2006

This used to be my favorite Thai restaurant in L.A. before I moved out of town four years ago but upon returning to the restaurant last night, it's now the worst. Pros: The decor of the restaurant Cons: The hostess, the service and the FOOD more

Tastes delicious, and prices are reasonable. 7/11/2006

I first discovered Thai food in 1986. In twenty years, the food at Natalee Thai Cuisine is the tastiest Thai food I have eaten! Pad Thai, Thai iced tea, the appetizer sampler plate with selections the names of which I cannot recall, Thai barbecued chicken, sushi (Japanese? Thai?), all were excellent. This was my first time, a birthday celebration, and even though I live in Texas, I will return to Natalee Thai Cuisine the very next time i visit Los Angeles! Pros: Tasty food, value for $, service more
