Bodhi Kosher Thai

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.

Just moved to the area nearby and wanted some pho or a rich noodle soup. Was not very excited about "kosher Thai," but decided to do a takeout of their pho with rice noodles. Added soft white tofu. OMG SHOCKER! IT WAS AMAZING! The veggies were very fresh, the broth was sensational, and the serving was most likely for two people. Cleverly, the rice noodles were packaged separately, so there was plenty of bounce and no sog - fragrant, rich soup, crunchy vegetables and yummy noodles. I'm not ashamed to say I ate everything in one sitting. I will definitely be back, because this neighborhood gem deserves detailed investigations :-)

The food is delicious, but the attitude from the host (I believe owner) could be much warmer. When we had a small concern about a drink, the response felt dismissive rather than helpful. A little more friendliness and customer care and service would really elevate the experience.

Kicking paying customers out of your restaurant won't earn you a 5 star review. Absolutely rude and ridiculous. Food was very low quality (no taste, and frozen veges clumped together) and ridiculously overpriced. Lady was extremely rude. We ordered and ate their. Then she kicked me out of the restaurant for eating a piece of vegan pastry I had with me. She said this is a vegan restaurant, when I told her my dessert was vegan, she still kicked me out, in front of my friends and family. We had plans to feed our toddler after our lunch but we couldn't because of her and had to go back to the car and feed him. Restaurant was completely empty (no wonder). Also this place is not vegan. They have egg in their noodles unless you specifically ask for eggless. Would never go back or recommend after what happened with us.

This restaurant offers vegetarian Thai food. There is no meat or chicken in this place. We got chicken nuggets and beef damage for appetizers and Teryakki and steak foe enteere and they were all delicious and yummy. Will definitely try it again. Also the coconut juice was really good.

This was the best meal of my life!! I got spicy noodles, crispy roles, and damage beef. The waitresses were so sweet and the whole place was just so awesome! Will come again ❤️❤️

Tried this place via a work luncheon and it was great. Fresh and flavorful. I didn't even notice it was vegan even more so with their chicken item. Given its location, oarking should not be an issue as it is provided.

Came here for take-out. This Thai restaurant is kosher and vegetarian. The food is very good. It's in a mini-mall so parking is very easy. The menu is large and has pictures of each dish which is very helpful. I have to come back here and try more things. It was hard to pick what to get. Everything looked so good. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share. We got sweet potato fries, dumplings, potato samosas, spring rolls, golden tofu, and chicken nuggets. Everything was delicious. The sweet potato fries were really good (not your typical Thai food but I still suggest ordering them). I also really loved the chicken nuggets and the dumplings. It's very fun to share a bunch of appetizers. Of note, is that the golden tofu is a much bigger sized appetizer than the others. For our main course we got the pad thai noodle, pineapple curry, and panang curry. I asked for my vegetables to be well-done and they delivered. Cooked to perfection. You can never go wrong with pad thai. We added vegan chicken. I enjoyed it very much. Of the three things we ordered that's the one I would order again and again. The pineapple curry was good but the sauce was thin. I prefer a thicker curry sauce so I will get something different next time. The panang curry was also good but we got it with brown rice and next time we will order the white rice instead because it's tastier that way. A couple things stood out here. One is that they got the order perfectly which is not always the case with to-go orders and something I really appreciate. Another was that the packaging of the to-go order was done really well so that everything stayed at a good temperature and did not spill out on the way home. Service was also very kind and helpful. The ambiance of this place is cute. It's a small place but spacious at the same time. It's surrouded by windows which makes it feel bigger. Great for date night or meeting up with your friends. I would suggest eating here rather than doing take-out since it's a nice place to eat and the food is excellent. Very clean and pleasant. I had to get home on this particular day. Otherwise I would definitely have stayed.

I was so thrilled to finally get to try this place. It is certified kosher (which was an essential for my friend) and vegan, which is why I wanted to go here in the first place. There were so many things on the menu that I really wanted to try and on this trip, was only able to try 2 items. I'd love to be able to try their Tom kha soup, curry, and mango sticky rice on a different trip. It's extremely expensive in my opinion for Thai food, especially when you're just getting vegetables and tofu but sheesh it was delicious. We tried the pumpkin, eggplant, tofu stirfry with steamed tofu ($23 or $24) and the pad Thai with fried tofu ($20). Both were great and my favorite part was the eggplant in the stirfry! So tender and perfect! The waitress was also very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend and I can't wait to try again.

Our favorite kosher Thai Resturant in bevrerlyy hills. Vegan as well the yellow curry is the best!

Was excited to eat here as the menu photos looked amazing. The food, however, was lacking in flavor and over priced. They also brought us the wrong dish. The atmosphere is nice and the servers were kind and friendly.

Had a very weird experience here...I ordered pad see ew and they brought me pad thai instead. When I told the server about the mistake she insisted that I ordered the pad thai and made it difficult to exchange. When she finally agreed to take it back they basically just brought me back the same dish and added some broccoli to it (it did not have the pad see ew noodles or sauce). Needless to say, I won't be returning. The food was okay and the ambiance is nice, just beware of the rude service and it is a bit overpriced.

The food is delicious! My favorite is the Pad Thai with tofu and the vegetable soup. It's great for meetings, mom's night out or date night!

Food is decent, friendly services and convenient location. But be prepared to pay $23 for a plate of fried rice. We paid $47 for one appetizer, fried rice and 2 cups of tap water. Too expensive for lunch/casual dining :/

This is my favorite kosher restaurant in LA . Authentic Thai food . The service is quick and the food is delicious really recommend

The employees cooked promptly, the customer service was exceptional, and the restaurant was clean and presentable! Deserving of 5 Stars!

Great service they were very welcoming. I enjoyed the food very flavorful and delicious! It's a casual dining spot good for lunch, clean and modern environment. I had a great experience would def go back!

I was very disappointed with the food here. I heard good things about this restaurant, but unfortunately, I won't be recommending this place to anyone. The food was 2/10. Refrain from tasting fresh and flavorful like it's supposed to. I've been to many (non-kosher) Thai cuisines, and there are better options if you eat at non-kosher restaurants. The service was okay, and the ambiance was nice, but the restaurant seemed cleaner. Easy free parking.

Food tastes very good but.... They are still using a ton of msg in the food :( I can tell I've very sensitive to it and got very ill after having lunch with my friend. I know not everyone has intolerances like mine but everyone should know, also nowadays why add in? Prices are not cheap, I expect it from a lower end spot. Parking is easy. Really wish they would clean up the ingredients and I would be back

Came back for takeout a second time, and still really did not disappoint (though man inflation has hit prices hard, $55 for 3 items) What we got: pineapple fried rice, spicy noodles, and eggplant pumpkin lover - our favorite dish consistently is the eggplant pumpkin lover! - pineapple fried rice was the second choice and spicy noodles was just OK The blend of flavors is just superb, and what they use as meat substitutes is so flavorful- especially their "chicken" and how they deep fry the tofu! We got takeout again, but the restaurant itself looked like a casually cute, intimate vibe. Around 4 tables around 9pm on a Tuesday, so pretty good crowd! 100% would come back- so far our favorite is pumpkin eggplant lover and curry noodles!

we love this place ! It's always delicious and we dine in and order some for take out . Delivery seems to be rather slow even in the neighborhood so I suggest picking up your take out order to save frustration ... but I am still giving it 5 stars because the food and service has been consistently great ! Our usual orders : Pad See Ew, Bodhi Bites, Damage Beef - so good!!!

Consistently delicious food. The restaurant is clean and inviting. The servers know the menu well and are able to answer questions.

EXCELLENT FOOD! This was one of the best meals I had in quite some time. The green mango salad was surprisingly one of my favorites of the whole meal. Sticky rice was good, but not QUITE what I was expecting. It was a little less creamy than traditional sticky rice, but that's to be expected since it's vegan. I would eat here for sure. Chicken Satay was also reeeally good. Also the music is at a level you can actually TALK which is lovely. Service was excellent as well.

say no more, Kosher Thai Food! I know many people who keep Kosher and can only eat at kosher establishments. I am so happy this incredible Kosher Thai food exists!

Love this place Everything is great! I usually get the green curry and the crispy roll.

Love the place here we always enjoy the food and environment and everything comes fast , thank you

Really amazing food! A bit too pricey for a food without meat or fish, but they really make it taste great. We almost always order orange beef. Obviously not real beef.

Unfortunately, the proprietors have elected to use a hechsher that is far from universally accepted, leaving many observant Jews unable to eat here. There is no judgment whatsoever of anyone who chooses to eat here; just suggesting you ask your local Orthodox (or Conservative) rabbi first.

I love this spot, I am plant based and I've never had so many options. Everything is fresh to order and the quality of alternative meat substitutes is the best. They really have perfected the soy chicken and the beef. We got the soy orange chicken and were so surprised that they used real oranges for their glaze. It tasted very tangy and unquie. We also got the Kung Pow chicken and a side of beef chow main. All plant based of course. It was so good and not very greasy like typical Chinese food. The staff and service are very attentive and quick we did not wait long for our food. It's located on Olympic in Beverly Hills and parking is easy and free. Great lunch spot, portion sizes are big and prices are reasonable. I will always stop here after a busy day at work when I'm too lazy to cook but, craving something fresh and healthy.

not great. for a vegan place, you'd think there'd be an abundance of fresh herbs, especially in something like a spring roll (which they call a fresh roll on their menu), but there was not a single herb to be found in any of the dishes we ordered. perhaps this is because it's kosher, and cleaning and checking herbs is a pain, but come on... very seriously lacking in flavor. not terrible, but not particularly good either. I love Thai food and was very excited to come to LA and get kosher Thai, but this was disappointing, especially for the price.

Food was amazing. Tried the eggplant pumpkin, the chow main and the pumpkin curry. All was delicious.

The food was nice, but everything felt like it was too sweet. We got a vegan fried rice with vegan chicken and vegan garlic tempeh, and both of them were sweeter than we expected. The service was good and the location is close enough to us that we might go back again, but it probably wouldn't be my first choice, especially at their inflated Beverly Hills pricing.

I finally managed to eat at Bodhi Kosher Thai but wasn't very impressed by it to be honest. Placed a takeout order of the Crispy Rolls and the Spicy Thai Basil and this is what I thought of their food. The $7.50 Crispy Rolls were nothing to write home about and were average at the most, imho. The Spicy Thai Basil was also quite disappointing, and I had such high expectations of this restaurant. While the dish is loaded with a ton of vegetables and proteins one of the item was missing the most was the basil. I also didn't like the burnt flavor of the burnt green and red bell pepper which made the whole dining experience even worse. Last, I wish the dish was spicier but it did have a little kick to it. Verdict: 5 stars for the ambience and friendly service and 2 stars for the food. Enjoy and Bon Appétit.

Food is good but unfortunately they are a rip off. I got a small container of curry for my $20+ bucks when it used to be double the size container. When i complained and asked what happened they told me it was because I didn't order any extras. Note to anyone ordering - pay the $3.50 extra and get double the curry! Otherwise, it's just not worth it.

Good food great service, diverse menu and consistent quality. One of our favorite restaurants.

This place deserves minus zero scores!! My daughter and I visited the place for the hope of some healthy Thai cuisine which we love and luckily there are some good ones in LA but this one was a disaster. Immediately after they brought our dishes I noticed the smell of strong rancid oil and upon having the first few bites I noticed the food was fried in cheap recycled oil!!! I have been cooking for 20+ years for my family and I know food quality and oil quality. I'm surprised how restaurants are using gutter oil that has already been cooked with longer than safety codes permit. Are they not getting inspected?! I paid for the bill and left the restaurant immediately and hungry. Those few bites were enough to make my daughter that has a sensitive digestive system sick for two day.

The coconut juice was pleasant - maybe not $8 worth, but it was cooling and refreshing. Comes out on a platter and everything, haha. The Tom Yum was great. The spices in the soup was comforting and prominent - I usually like my Tom Yum's spicier, but this had its own zingy kick I appreciated. Vegetables were tender. The small Tom Yum is definitely a go-to for me now. Also!! Very lovely staff. Attentive and kind.

Bodhi aways good, flavorful food delivered very quickly. This is a place we frequent.

the cheesecake - avoid to be honest i'm just not entirely satisfied paying $61 for this curry and 2 slices of cheesecake. that's all i want to say. maybe being in the restaurant might be a different experience

Service can be neglected sometimes overall food is excellent beautiful ambience, very clean and reasonably priced big portions

Truly spectacular food!! Vegan dishes are insanely delicious here. Definitely worth a stop.

This was not our first choice. In fact, it was not even on our radar. We were actually heading for another place at the plaza. There was not enough seating there for our party of five so we decided to give Bodhi Kosher Thai a try. So happy we did! The food we tried was delicious!! Personally, I really enjoyed the Pad Thai, Mango Salad, and the Sticky Rice with Mango! Ambiance was nice, and the service was excellent. Parking was a bit difficult and cramped. Otherwise no complaints. Everyone in our group left full and happy.

Quickly growing to be my new favorite neighborhood spot. Stopped in a few nights ago for a quick dinner. Cute spot. They also serve wine so a plus. Ordered the steamed dumplings (would pass next time), the fresh roll (light and flavorful) and potato samosas (a must), dipping sauces were a great accompaniment (yay). Returned this evening and got the bohdi bites, papaya salad and the yellow curry. It was everything I could've wanted and more! I left a very happy girl. Took most of it to go, and I am very much looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I can only hope that I will dream about all the glorious flavors and textures I experienced tonight.

They're rude stay away.... Waitress was screaming on us and try to force us to accept food on our table we never ordered. Plus please keep in mind they are going to decide for you the amount (18%) they want you to tip.

Mock meat heaven! If you love your fake meats, than you will love Bodhi Kosher Thai. To my pleasant surprise, most items on this menu are vegan! However, the Thai Tea comes with a "non-diary" creamer and the server was unable to confirm whether or not this was vegan (nor did she seem to really know what vegan meant). What you want to do here is order their special meat dishes. Especially the beef! The "Damage Beef" special is super sweet and super chewy- just like actual meat! Vegans and non-vegans alike would enjoy the food that is offered here. As they have array of fried rice and noodle dishes and a bunch of appetizers that are fun to share.

Lovely kosher restaurant, KRCC certified. The only thing I will recommend is for the Tom Yom soup to be less salty. Everything else was great, I will return again.

Delicious, vegan, and kosher food with a super staff! Cool vibe to the restaurant as well.

I am a vegetarian and I have to tell you this is my favorite place !! They variety of food is absolutely amazing!! Salads, soy beef and soya chicken, different appetizers, Tom ka soup is so good!! Definitely try Thai iced tea!!! If you in LA make sure to stop and try this place!!!

The food was delicious and they have large selection in their menu compare to other vegan restaurants the service was also great but i give them 4 stars because they put to much oil in the food. i'll definitely go back again but... hoping they'll be more careful on how much oil they put in the plate

Came back again when we were going to Cedars for my son. We moved away to the central coast but have been dreaming of this food since! The staff here are so warm and lovely! They remembered us from last time. We ate so much and took everything home it's just so good I wanted to keep eating but was too full. The food is so beautifully made here. And the vegetables are cooked perfectly , a little crunch and not soggy and soft. Just fresh and sooo delectable I will miss them until we come again next time

the service is bad. the servers are not nice and do not want to be there. they charge you for even little things like to go boxes. the food is not good quality. and bathroom is dirty.

I am not Vegan and ordinarily find the food tasteless but this is definitely an exception. The food here is delicious... I go out of my way to pick up food from here. The restaurant itself is nothing but the food is really good. I always bring the spicy beef home for my roommate who is a true carnivore and he thinks it is meat. Definitely 5 stars

Wowza! Awesomeness and fresh! Helpful staff. Will definitely come again! And that eggplant was outrageous!

We came here a party of 7 people for Father's Day lunch and the food was great the ambience was quiet and chill. The prices are also great. It's a healthy place with no meat and dairy which was delightful. I love that it's kosher. The location and parking are also great. The service staff is very nice and really cares. I highly recommend it.

The staff is great and the food is great. It is a must place to go. I know you wont be disappointed.
