Staff needs to be customer friendly!!!!! 7/13/2009

I have been to VIM several times because i truly enjoy their Seafood Soup and Pad Thai. But what has stopped me going is the unfriendly waiters. The waiters are very slow and never come around to make sure everything is okay. They seem to be annoyed by what they are doing and take it out on customers. Also the place is rather dirty! Walls are stained and dirty and the floor looks as if it has never been mopped. I think they need to change the staff and clean up the place!!!!! Pros: the food tastes good Cons: unfriendly staff more

I can't understand why this place is rated above 5! I could do better with packaged curries! 1/24/2007

I am not sure what all the excitement is about. I have eaten a lot of Thai / Chinese food in my life, and this place ranks pretty low in terms of food taste and quality. The chicken in all of our dishes was tough and chewy. The flavors in all of the dishes were completely unremarkable. I thought I was going to discover another great find, and instead, I was sorely disappointed. What I also couldn't understand was that there were so many people there on a Wednesday night. There HAS to be better Thai food somewhere in this town. I'll have to keep looking, because it's not here at 5132 H-Wood Blvd! Pros: Cheap Cons: You get what you pay for! more

Americanized Thai food 8/16/2004

I've had better Thai food at Osha and Yai's. This place is disappointing if you want authentic Thai food. The crab noodle is just some noodles with some crab meat on top, the soups aren't spicy but the portions are large enough for leftovers. Pros: Large portions, Cheap Cons: , Sloppily cooked food more

Thai Chinese Cuisine 8/26/2003

The food is very good...been dining at Vim's since 1990. The service is quick but the ambience is not that great. Overall, this is a great place to dine with a group of people. The plates are rather large...soups are excellent! more

Vim 7/12/2003

Vim is located in the neighborhood of LA known as Thai Town. Approximately 10 blocks packed with some of the best Thai restaurants in the US. Vim targets American and Latino tastes. If you want to try more authentic (and tasty) Thai food Sanamluang, Palms, Yai, and Sapp would be a better bet. Vim offers predictable Americanized Thai Food. Pros: Price, Parking Cons: Food more

what'dyou talking about? 8/30/2002

I have been going with my family to Vim's since I was 5 years old and let me tell you, the food is so good...It has the best Thai spices possible. The sea food soup, by the way..is their specialty. It has the most tasteful sea food available and it not only appeals to your taste, but to your nose and eyes as well. The food is great..and I think it deserves more than just the seventh place!! Pros: inexpensive, good food!, great service Cons: crowded, bad parking, bad location more

Easily one of the best in L.A. 5/17/2002

Vim is part of the Holy Triumvirate of Thai restaurants in Hollywood (the others being Palms and Sanamluang Cafe). The fish soup is absolutely the best, full of huge chunks of perfectly-cooked fish and broth that is incredibly flavorful The decor is a little lacking (reminds me a little bit of fast-food establishments), but for great inexpensive food, you can't go wrong here. more
