Thai Touch Restaurant

Let me start off by saying that I grew up in East Hollywood. Jitlada, Sanamluamg, and Thai Elvis were staples growing up. I am not a Thai food expert. But again… I’ve had the best that Thai Town has to offer. With this being said, Thai Touch has the BEST CURRY I’ve ever had. Point blank period. Their Tom Yum soup is superb as well. Their peanut sauce is probably the best I’ve had too. My only gripe is that their noddles are not on par with the best. But if you want some of the best Thai curry you’ve ever had, hit them up. They are friendly, fast, accurate with orders, and very reasonable.

This place is amazeballs. Probably best Pad Thai I’ve ever had. Huge portions, reasonable prices, speedy service, the whole package. It’s super tiny and quiet and over all super.

Cozy clean and welcoming! Me and my wife ordered yellow curry and pad kee mow and honestly it was delicious. I highly recommend this place if you want to try really good Thai food. We were very satisfied and will definitely go there again. Thank you

Not only did delivery take 80 minutes– yes EIGHT ZERO– but the food was unbelievably gross. Basic standards like pad thai and rice were seriously inedible? Tasted like MSG mixed with ovaltine. Spring rolls made with lettuce that I swear was the champs elysee mix from trader joes. The whole thing was just bizarre. The kicker was calling to check on order. I said I placed an order via Unilocal and the woman cut me off by saying «AND…». Yeah, no. Don’t eat here unless you love being spoken down to and eating gross mystery meat. Husband was drunk and still fed to dogs.

This place is so cute & romantic. There’s a small television that plays current music videos. My husband & I ordered the yellow curry, chicken fried rice & pad kee mow. I highly recommend this place if you’re ever in need of a Thai fix while in Glendale. For me, they fixed me up for dinner while I stay here the night. Very very satisfied, would definitely come again & I’m thinking to get some of the coffee tomorrow morning!

The food is great as well as customer service with fast delivery!

Had dinner here with my boyfriend. He ordered the tom yum soup with chicken and i ordered themsame but with shrimp. It was really good! I should have asked for noodles but even without it, i was still satisfied. We also got thai iced tea and it was the good and sweetened kind. Mmm.
The lady who took our order was so friendly!
I really think this place is underrated. Its a cute little restaurant that has good meals for a good price too. Everyone should try it!

Love!!! The food and staff here are both great. I would come here again! Worth the drive of getting lost. Thanks to our waiter GiGi (I might have spelt that wrong) so kind and on top of it. I had the chicken Pad Thai it was so delicious !! See you guys again!

I don’t know why they only have 3 ½ stars. Everything I’ve ordered here were very flavorful and good portions and good prices, friendly service. They are a notch up from most of the Thai places around eagle rock.

Been a faithful fan of resto. Just asked twice to include 2 oz of picked Thai chili. Never came
Never get the bbq chicken. Old chicken completely overcooked, not marinated enough (trust me we know. We r chefs)
However the Tom kha and tom yum both really nice. Also the eggplant is really good. It’s either a hit or miss with this place depending on what u order

First time trying this place and all I can say is yummy!!! We ordered delivery and food was hot and delicious! Food was amazing and for a very good price! My new fav Thai
Place!

Well, if you like your Thai food spicy but not Thai spicy (very hot) if you know what I mean, then you know when ordering for the first time at a new Thai restaurant that you better order it mild just in case their definition of mild is already medium.
So on 11÷20÷16 that is exactly what I did when I ordered their «Spicy Eggplant Seafood» dish without the imitation crab. It was delicious except for one thing, it had very little spice and because of this was missing that Thai flavor that I longed for. I know I ordered it mild but it was prepared as if I ordered it with «no-​spice»!
It was a to-​go-​order so I called and spoke to the manager who apologized but did not really appear to understand how to correct it other than to maybe order the medium to get what I wanted or add hot sauce (yuk with the chemical dyes and preservatives) to it, no thanks. I felt it was a bit dismissive but I figured since the portion and quality was very good I would give them the benefit of the doubt and try to come again.
We also ordered the «Garlic Shrimp & Scallop» dish which was tasty and the portions were larger than expected, brown rice which was very good and «Pad Woon Sen» which was also very good except for one thing. We made the mistake of ordering it with beef. The beef was just tasteless and chewy so that part of the dish went in the trash.
So fast forward to 1÷17÷16 we decide to try again. This time we ordered «Basil Seafood» medium spicy, figured this ought to work, well wrong again. This dish was way too hot and I would say a 6+ out of 10. It was too hot to enjoy and we ended up throwing half of it out. So their mild is a 0 or a –1 and their medium is a 6+.
Not only that but the portions were so much smaller. There was such a lack of consistency with regard to the portion size that I felt like I was really dealing with some amateurs. The other two dishes were not to our liking either. They were «Pad See Ew» with over cooked vegetables and was very bland and «Thai Touch F/​R» which was nothing to right home about.
I decided to call the manager again to find out why I am having such bad luck. She is busy and asks me to call back after a minute of trying to explain the situation. So I call towards the end of the night and ask her point blank if they can adjust the heat to a true mild which I would say is a 2 – 3 at most. No she says we can not do that. I tell her that we both know that the difference between their «Spicy Hot» and their «Medium» is heat. Let’s say one is a 10 and one is a 5. So basically she is trying to tell me that the chef is skilled enough to produce a dish with the right amount of chile peppers to create both spicy and medium but has no clue on how to remove enough of the chile peepers to make a true mild. That’s incompetence to the extreme. I’ve been to many other Thai restaurants that can get right but I guess not here.
It was unbelievable to me that a Thai restaurant who depends on Americans for support and their repeat business, in order to be successful in the long term, would be so foolish.
If you are going to make Thai food for Americans than make it so it is edible. If they want a little spice make it with a little spice and if you can’t then learn how to do so. Between word of mouth, social media and loss of repeat business can you really afford not to?
This is one place I will not be spending anymore of my hard earned money at.
Believe it or not if you go to a truly authentic Thai restaurant their mild is often like a medium so you have to be careful. The only way to get a true mild in this case is to order it with no-​spice.

This is a small place, in the corner of a shopping center in Glendale. The lunch menu has a lot of variety for $ 6.99. I ordered the spicy eggplant with beef and Thai tea. I was surprised at how fresh and toast the food was. I have passed by this little place quite often and didn’t even look twice (I regret it so much) I stopped by to check it out. I was beyond impressed I am definitely coming back soon!

Second time eating food from here I expected the same experience. What could possibly be different?
Well first time we ate there and the food was decent and decided it would be a place we’d eat again. This second round we did takeout and used the Unilocal spend $ 30 get Pad Thai free. It’s a good deal and they followed through with it.
The Order:
Chicken Yellow Curry
1^st time it was well balanced with curry and coconut milk. Spicy on point and healthy portion of meat & veggies. 2^nd time, same good portions but the curry was basically coconut milk with a hint of curry (like slightly off white looking vs creamy yellow) and no other flavor than coconut. Disappointing.
Spicy Basil Leaf
This was the most disappointing. $ 8.59 for a portion that didn’t cover a quarter of the box. It was single portion serving for a party of one. Taste was mediocre.
Pad Thai
This dish was ok. The portion size was good. The taste, okay. If we had not received this free dish we might not have had enough food.
Tom Yum Shrimp
This soup was satisfying. No complaints.
The Service: Nothing spectacular. Attentive but not especially quick on their feet.
Maybe it’s because of the holidays and I get it, lightning speed ain’t exactly the speed most people are moving at after Xmas. Something is lacking for sure and I think we will skip this place and opt for Thai Food Express (around the corner) from now on.

My go to restaurant if I want crab fried rice and Tom yum shrimp. Crab fried rice have crab chunks and the small Tom yum have 5 pc of shrimp. I also like the pork jerky. But it’s a hit or miss. Sometimes it’s too dry. But other than that, Portions are good enough and delivery is on time. And they gave me free Thai iced tea. lol thank u!

I don’t know why there’s so many bad reviews. Came here for the first time today and it was great. (The rating is solely for this one visit). It’s a small cute restaurant. Food came out fast and was fresh. The only thing is that I wish they had was more rice to the dish. And I’ve definitely been to other places that serves more BBQ chicken but with the price, it’s a really good deal. It’s around $ 7 for lunch menu which comes with your choice of entrée, their soup of the day, and a veggie egg roll. I got the BBQ chicken lunch special and my boyfriend got pad see ew which was really good. For the BBQ chicken, I’ve had better but it was still good. And the egg rolls were crunchy and not greasy at all which is a plus!

Don’t think I’d go back.
Orange chicken was too crunchy & dry not very much flavor and mostly breading.
Crab/​cream cheese wontons were basically just crab meat which isn’t my kind of taste.
Basically I’ve had WAY, WAY better elsewhere! Got desperate and decided to try something new but this didn’t hit the spot for me.

It’s been 2 hours since we ordered, no sign of the food. Called the restaurant and they just said, «sorry, we’re busy». Driver called to say he’d be here in 10, two times, and now that has been 20 minutes ago.
Be warned.

This place is located on the strip of Colorado in Glendale. It’s in a small plaza across from Starbucks and McDonald’s. It is a super small restaurant but very cozy.
Anyways, the first time I came here, they had a special for dine in $ 5.99 to choose from 5 basic items or stir fry, and it also comes with a drink and a side salad! How awesome is that?!
So, my friend and I ordered the Chicken Pad-​See Ew and in all honesty, it was freaking delicious! I’m so happy this place is located down the strip of where we work! Very convenient place to eat at!
I would recommend place to eat at if you really like Thai food! They use really good and authentic sauces! Very flavorful indeed!
Although 5 stars exceeds my expectations of this place. I would rather decrease a star only because of the service. only one person works the front, I know it will get crowded, since food is delicious, duh! But nonetheless I asked for my salad and it took them forever to bring it out! the Pad-​See Ew made up for it though! Lol
Anyways, COME EAT!

Thai Touch you have some kind of magical ability that touched my heart with warm fuzzies! I Unilocaled you while I was finding a place to eat closer to the Glendale Galleria!
Unilocal Check-​in: What does Unilocal-​Check-​in get you? One free ice thai tea! Yay for freebees!
Parking/​Location: Located in a small plaza with limited parking, but you can park on Colorado St. It’s located a little past Verdugo rd on Colorado St. heading west on the right. If you are heading east on Colorado Blvd, it will be on the left side before Verdugo Rd.
Ambiance/​Décor: This place is small and crampy, but gives off a relaxing and intimate place to eat. There is approximately 8 or 9 small tables, but just ask them to put some tables together and then bam you get a bigger table to fit a big party. This place is more ideal for smaller groups.
Service: Service was decent for a small restaurant. Waitress was very attentive and friendly. Food came out fast!
Pricing: Pricing is decent here. I would recommend coming between 11am to 3pm where they have lunch specials every day at $ 5.99 from a decent amount of food items.
Food: I thought the food was good. They gave a generous portion for the lunch specials, which come with rice (you can also ask for brown rice). If you order noodle items, it doesn’t come with rice. For $ 2 more, you can get shrimp and one more dollar gets you seafood. We ordered:
1) Pad see ew with chicken (Lunch Special): Loved it! Just ask for less oil and you’ll be set. It is a little on the sweet side and they also give you 3 or 4 small pieces of brocoli. Only complain is I wished they offered more vegetables in the dish and it was a bit sweeter than other pad see ew’s I had at other Thai places.
Tip: Do the John concoction: Get some pad see ew and mix it in with the Tom Kah. You won’t be disappointed. Instant gratification! :)
2) Basil beef rice (Lunch Special): This was also a good dish. You can smell and taste the basil and the beef was tender.
3) Tom Kha Kai (large) from the regular menu: McCreaaaaamy! This was really goooooood! They were generous with the chicken, mushrooms, and other ingredients. Down side is that it was a little sweeter than I like it.
Happy Eating!

I’m typing this review the day after ordering another Tom Yum soup. This time around we ordered our food «to-​go» for dinner. We ordered our Tom Yum (large) extra spicy with chicken & shrimp and yellow curry (chicken) medium spicy.
When we brought it home, we couldn’t believe the amount of flavor, seasoning, sweetness, & tartness all in one sip. It was an incredible feeling on my palate!!!
The yellow curry was sweet, not so spicy and you can really smell the natural coconut in the curry. I’ve never had that experience before. Staff are as friendly as the first time. ;)
Okay, I could go on and on. I’ll be back again and again for sure.
