Nice ambience but the food isn't good. Even the boba tea. It's 1 & done for me. Small servings even for dinner

Coming in from Hawaii, I visited my mom for the day in Los Angeles. She took us to this quaint little Thai restaurant off Sepulveda. My mom is extremely picky about Thai food (us being Thai) so I knew this would be a good choice. It is also "kid friendly "so it won't be too spicy for those that don't want spicy. I ordered pad kee mao medium and ate maybe half of it because I didn't want to fall asleep driving back to San Diego (conference). It was delicious and I added extra peppers. I ordered a Thai coffee which was also good. My nieces all had different items and seem to enjoy it especially the noodle soup. My friend had the pad Thai and loved it said it doesn't taste like the one in Hawaii (where we live). We came on a Friday evening and it was not busy. Parking is in the back and although it was limited we did not have a problem with two cars.

We were in the neighborhood and thought we'd try Swanya. The service was very good. We ordered the daily special flat noodles with broccoli which was good. I use red curry with chicken as a benchmark dish for new Thai restaurants. I asked if the red curry was similar to Panay curry as was told yes. Unfortunately it was bland, very mild, and not flavorful though the menu cited it was spicy. Disappointing.

Unfortunately, my second visit is a huge downgrade to such a convenient spot for me during the weekends. I don't know what happened, but how can a Thai restaurant monumentally screw-up such a timeless and classic signature dish?This time I ordered something more pedestrian -- the pad-Thai.Quite possibly one of the worst offerings of such a staple I've ever had.The dish was WAY, WAY, too sweet. In fact, there was a nauseating sticky slick substance in the noodles. It's as if the chef drenched the noodles in the pad Thai 'sauce'. It was so saturated with this sweet sticky substance, it kinda had a glowing patina around its hide making the noodle semi-translucent.It was bizarre and not edible. The chicken was extremely chewy, and although pad-that is cooked with egg, by no means it should be served with eggs that are yellow and scrambled. Eek!Don't know what happened here, but it sucked, and this place can do a lot better.Would consider coming back, but not for the pad-Thai.

Swanya Thai Food has completely won me over with their incredible flavors and authentic Thai cuisine. From the moment I stepped into this cozy restaurant, I knew I was in for a treat. But it was their red curry that truly stole my heart!The red curry at Swanya Thai Food is a masterpiece. Bursting with aromatic spices and a perfect balance of heat, it is a culinary delight that leaves you wanting more with every bite. The tender chunks of meat (or tofu, if you prefer) are cooked to perfection and are complemented by the creamy coconut milk base. The addition of fresh vegetables and fragrant Thai basil truly elevates this dish to another level.The presentation of the red curry is just as impressive as its taste. Served in a traditional Thai bowl, the vibrant colors and rich aromas immediately transport you to the streets of Thailand. The portion size is generous, ensuring that you leave the restaurant feeling satisfied and content.The service at Swanya Thai Food is top-notch. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to offer suggestions or answer any questions you may have. They create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like a valued guest.In addition to the red curry, Swanya Thai Food offers an extensive menu with a variety of other mouthwatering Thai dishes. I've had the pleasure of trying their pad Thai and green curry as well, and they were equally as delicious. The menu caters to all dietary preferences, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options available.The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and inviting, with beautiful Thai decorations adorning the walls. Whether you're dining alone, with a loved one, or with a group of friends, Swanya Thai Food provides the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience.Overall, Swanya Thai Food is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise it can get. With their exceptional red curry and a menu full of tantalizing options, this restaurant truly captures the essence of Thai cuisine. If you're a fan of Thai food or simply looking to explore new flavors, Swanya Thai Food is an absolute must-visit. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!Also! Happy hour is 3pm to 6pm!

This is our go to Thai spot for my fiancé and I! They have really great lunch specials everyday of the week and their portion sizes are filling. Service is efficient and always friendly. It's a small, chill spot with indoor and outdoor seating, and it's so worth it! The Thai iced tea is super tasty. For appetizers, we recommend the crispy pork rib and for entrees, the pad Thai and the yellow curry, but I'm sure anything off the menu will be delicious!

Swanya Thai is a lovely family run business in the middle of Culver City on the busy street of Sepulveda. I first came here with my mother who is a regular, of both the restaurant and Swanya massage (next door), and we were greeted right away. When you stay and sit, there is a hometown feeling, as regular after regular is greeted with a smile and print service. The food is made to order and comes out nice and hot.

Worst Pad Thai ever. Will not go back. Definitely not worth it. Their priority was getting out to go orders over actual customers in the dining room
