A Family Dream Turned Reality
We had the pleasure of speaking with Natalie, the owner of Delish Thai Kitchen, who shared the heartwarming story of how it all began. Before opening their doors in 2023, the family operated a Thai street food vendor at the Thai temple in North Hollywood since 2017. Their food quickly gained a loyal following, with customers constantly encouraging them to open a restaurant. When the right location became available, they seized the opportunity to bring their authentic Thai flavors to the community.
Authentic Bangkok-Style Thai Cuisine
What sets Delish Thai Kitchen apart from many other Thai restaurants in Southern California is their unique Bangkok-style cuisine. While many Thai restaurants in the area focus on northern or southern Thai cuisine, Delish Thai Kitchen offers a mix of traditional dishes and street food-inspired fusion, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
Their menu features everything from classic pad Thai to creative new takes on traditional dishes. Their approach is simple: serve food that stays true to authentic Thai flavors while offering unique, exciting twists that cater to all taste buds.
Award-Winning Pad Thai
One dish you absolutely cannot miss is their award-winning pad Thai. Delish Thai Kitchen’s pad Thai has been recognized as the best pad Thai in the San Fernando Valley, winning a highly competitive contest at the Thai temple in North Hollywood. What makes it stand out? It’s all about the fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors.
Natalie explains that they use fresh tamarind, which is hand-squeezed to extract its rich, tangy juice, creating a harmonious blend of sweet, savory, and sour flavors in every bite. Their attention to detail, from caramelizing red onions to using authentic chives, makes this dish truly special.
Must-Try Dishes
In addition to their famous pad Thai, here are some other must-try dishes at Delish Thai Kitchen:
- Kao Soi – A traditional northern Thai curry noodle soup with egg noodles, chicken, mild spicy coconut curry broth, potatoes, carrots, and crispy fried noodles, topped with fresh cilantro and red onion. This dish is the perfect Thai comfort food.
- Thai-Style Poke Nacho – A fusion favorite featuring crispy wonton chips topped with diced tuna, sriracha mayo, serrano peppers, cilantro, green onions, and sesame seeds. A delicious Thai twist on a classic appetizer.
