Reason for visiting: Mom’s birthday dinner
Date/time of visit: Sunday night, ~6:30 PM
Parking: street parking; they don’t seem to offer any parking. I parked in the lot next to their restaurant but they said they tow. So parked on the street; there’s some parking on Ventura and on the side street perpendicular to the restaurant
Party size: 9 adults, 4 kids
Environment/ambience: was not too busy; not many TVs. We ended up here after the wait at Boiling Crab was nonsense (~2 hours). Glad they were able to accommodate a large party like ours.
Service: was good; came around often, friendly.
Food: was ok; had the chicken pad Thai, chicken skewers, glass noodles, and Thai tea. Everything was ok but nothing bad. They don’t serve alcohol but we brought in with our own thermos’
Cost: ~$450 with tip
Would I go back (yes/no): 60/40

I had a wonderful time here, and don’t believe any of the low reviews are accurate. Food was flavorful, portions were large, and prices are great! Also parking was easily accessible despite it being on Ventura. They also have a few tables outside for pet-friendly dining. 5 stars, will be returning with more family & friends!!

I’ve been coming here for lunch the last few months almost every week and have not been disappointed. The food is fresh and very filling. The service is great and on point- G is great. Will continue to come back here.

I always go to the one on Reseda and they always satisfy. This one, I gave a try when they first opened and was dissatisfied. I gave them a second chance tonight because I live in Woodland Hills, and they disappointed me once again. The Thai Boat Noodles market style had no flavor. I ordered it medium spicy. If you know Thai Boat Noodles, you know it is filled with umami flavors! This one was flavorless. I barely made it edible with the condiments I had to add from the table. I am sadly dissatisfied. Sorry, but I can’t go back to this one. Driving an extra 15 min to Lum ka Naad in Reseda is well worth the drive. Feeling sad, disappointed, and dissatisfied.

December 2024 Update. They lost my business. I knew at some point they had to start cutting Corners to pay for the high rent of being on Ventura boulevard. This particular location went downhill quick! Ordered the Mee Grob, and it was 99% fried noodle. Only two small shrimp, hardly any chicken, barely any tofu.
Hardly anyone was in the restaurant, two tables, maybe two or three people at each table. I can understand if this place was totally packed there’d be a shortage of Supply or something. But for a Saturday night, I would think this restaurant would aim to please, and go above and beyond to try to make their customers happy.
Sorry, not sorry. I’ll be taking my business to the other two locations, and see how they do.

Who would have known Thai’s foods better than a Thai person like myself?!
Freshness produces and ingredients with authentic flavored felt like you were just took a long 19 hours flight straight to Thailand without any TSA checked point. This branch is the baby one of their well established restaurants in Reseda and Encino which I had many visited in both. Friendly staffs are great for all three locations.

New location added to the Northridge and Encino ones. Same menu as the Northridge location. The food is exactly the same great stuff they’re already known for.

Ordered duck soup and wonton, soup tasted “Chinese broccoli” (aka Kale) and cilantro were the only ingredient, and the wontons had almost no filling. Wontons were basically a box of chips. Potentially the worst $33 I’ve ever spent. Was extremely disappointed. Also, if you have to put a disclaimer at the bottom of your menu about the food…..kind of says a lot.

I’ve visited all of their locations, especially their original flagship in Northridge—which remains my favorite. So I was thrilled to see one open in my own neighborhood, and it definitely did not disappoint. This new spot has a more upscale vibe with its stylish decor, and the food was exceptional.

Lum Ka Naad is a must-visit for Thai food lovers in the valley! The yellow curry is rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced, with tender chicken and soft potatoes that melt in your mouth. The cashew chicken is just as incredible – juicy, flavorful, and paired with crunchy cashews and crisp veggies. Great flavors, friendly service, and an inviting vibe. Don’t miss this spot!
