Decent food. Definitely a solid choice for vegetarian food. We ordered a variety of dishes like pad Thai with soy tofu and soy chicken, Thai green and Thai red curry. Serving sizes were adequate, they gave us good portion sizes. The Pad Thai was tasty and served with generous portion of vegetables, however it also came with a portion of rice that we had no idea what to eat with, not to mention the rice was slightly undercooked. The same rice and vegetables serving was also given with the green and red curries, which tasted great but could’ve tased better with the cooked rice. The pineapple fried rice with soy chicken was excellent, it was my first time trying the dish. I would recommend this place to anybody who want to try vegan Thai food.

The food has completely gone downhill from what it used to be. I ordered three different soups - Vegetable, Tom Yum, and Wonton - and they were basically clones of each other. Not only that, but all three were filled with the exact same giant bagged frozen veggies and huge onion chunks. Nothing fresh, nothing chopped by a chef, nothing cooked with intention. Just the same frozen mix dumped into three soups with a slightly different broth poured over it. It’s shockingly lazy and shows zero pride or effort. This isn’t restaurant food - it’s assembly-line, fast-food quality at best and feels like serious corner-cutting. And somehow this cost $59. PS: I rarely leave negative reviews - I genuinely try to support local businesses. But this was unacceptable, and I think other customers should know what to expect.

My wife has been telling me about Bodhi Kosher Thai for years -- that they are the most authentic Thai food in the kosher world. On a recent trip to LA, I finally got to experience what she was talking about and was not let down. They were not especially busy when we arrived, around 1PM on a Thursday. Owner was courteous and gave us an appropriate amount of time to peruse the menu. After some deliberation (my wife knew what she wanted, but I took longer), we ordered the Fresh Roll, Tom Yum soup, Pad Thai, Curry Noodle, Damage Beef and Thai Iced Tea. The Fresh roll rice paper was delightful and the Pad Thai was serviceable. The Curry was authentic and the Thai Iced Tea had an unusual flavor due to the spices that I recommend for the culinary experience. However, the two big stars were definitely the Tom Yum soup, for its amazingly explosive and hearty flavor, and, unexpectedly, the Damage Beef. I ordered this for the name alone, not expecting anything special, but we were taken completely by surprise. The Damage Beef was extremely addictive and couldn't stop eating it over all the other dishes. The entire trip may have been worth it just to discover how delicious the Thai interpretation of Beef Jerky could be. LA is not hurting for kosher options, but we definitely look forward to our next visit, at least to get a few more orders of Damage Beef.
