Mom Can Cook Thai Kitchen

Holy Thai food! Can’t believe we hadn’t tried Mom Can Cook Thai Kitchen before — the food is absolutely delicious, and the staff is fantastic. It’s a family-run spot, and the decor truly makes you feel like you’ve been transported to Thailand. We sampled a variety of dishes and can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu. We left with full bellies and big smiles!

Been coming here for many years now, and it's hands down one of my very favorites! I haven't had a dish I didn't like! Their soups are especially delicious and my favorite is mom's traditional hometown soup. Their yellow curry is absolutely amazing. I wanted to try something I didn't normally order so this time I tried the teriyaki lunch special which was very good. If you're in the area please give them a try!

Very pleased with our meal. All of the dishes had great flavor, and reasonably priced. The atmosphere is nice and service was quick and easy.

Loved the food, big portions at great prices. Staff was friendly, service was fast. Very cute restaurant. I especially loved their Thai iced tea

Everything was good EXCEPT for the wontons - which came effectively empty of any of the potato filling we ordered. After eating my second one which had nothing in it, we asked the waitress why there wasn't any potato in it (see image) to which she pointed and said oh but there is a little bit right there. When asked if it's supposed to be so little you can't taste anything but the wonton she said yes... If that's truly the case, i would recommend not getting it. Maybe Thai wontons are different than other wontons?? Papaya salad was also a bit of a bummer. They put the papaya part of the salad on top of large chunks of cabbage so it looks like more than it is. And the large chunks are rather lazy and making eating it less enjoyable considering it's normally a shredded salad. And possibly most importantly, skimpy on the peanuts. The positives though: good tasting food despite not having the freshest ingredients - moms special pad Thai and the panang curry is a YUM. Would come back just for that. Spice level: this is real Thai spice not American Thai spice. On a scale of 1 to 10 a 6 was spicy for Koreans. So... Service: attentive but not necessarily your smile and strike up a conversation type. Not good or bad just depends on what you like from your service. She was nice to help decide between a few options we were thinking about and was honest about how many plates were enough rather than pushing for ordering more. Conclusion: the star is the panang curry and house special sauces such as that of the moms special pad Thai. It's why they get a 4 instead of 3. Focus on that and everything's good. Would come back? If seriously craving Thai curry in scv. Top of mind? No. Recommend? With many qualifiers.

This was my first time here. The place is small but cute inside the food is good and the service is good as well. It is kind of hidden in the back of the little plaza, but there is plenty of parking. The Thai tea was delicious and a plus with the cute bear inside. They also sell cute stationary pens on the counter. I believe I picked out 3 pens for $3. I will be back to try again.

First time ordering takeout, I ordered mom’s pad Thai. I am very particular about my pad Thai and it did not disappoint! Best pad Thai I’ve had it was made with glass noodles. I called in order and it was ready in 10 minutes and perfect the meat was tender and the flavor was amazing. I also ordered Thai Tea and was also very good. I always wondered how they stay in business because it kinda hidden location. Now I know how people eat once and will never forget and come back. So glad I found this place.

A visit to our favorite Thai restauran for some steamed dumplings and spicy shrimp and scallops! What a wonderful Thai place, hidden in this busy shopping center near the post office. Truly great food. The shrimp appetizer is a must, the veggie dishes are soooo good! Perfect rice. Try this hidden gem and you will keep coming back!

Always good. Especially like the lunch specials. The Panang curry is great, as is the Pad See Ew

This is hands down my favorite Thai place in scv. They don't add too much sauce and everything is seasoned perfectly. You can adjust the spiciness to pretty much every meal and the atmosphere inside is amazing. I keep digging in too quickly and forgetting to take pictures. The service every time I visited always left a smile on my face and they know how to season and fry tofu well for anyone who doesn't eat meat. I had it to go for Christmas and everything was packaged well and still warm. Just a side note, the spicy level here is very serious. Sometimes, I go to a restaurant and order a 7 and get more like a 5, but a 7 here is definitely a 7. Keep that in mind next time you ask for a certain spice level. Specific food I ate: I had the mango sticky rice- yum! It's pretty hard to mess this one up, but the sweetness was perfect and the the rice paired great with the soft delicate mangos. I also had the mom favorites noodles number 8 with tofu level 7.-- wow level 7 has a nice kick! The rice noodles were nice and thin. I didn't know what to expect. The bean sprouts were a bit firm and added crunch to it, and everything was just wow. I also had the red curry spice level 7- wow this also had a good kick to it. Level 7 is definitely a 7! I love Thai curry. It has a sweetness that you wouldn't expect and is so creamy and coats your rice effortlessly. Definitely give this one a try. LAST BUT NOT LEAST!! I had the roti puff paratha- listen man. If I had to suggest one dish, it's this. it's SOOO good! It's a very thin flaky pancake almost? You dip it in this sauce that is so freeeeaking decadent I have dreams about it. Don't get it to go for your first time. You need to try it fresh. The sauce is definitely sweet and umami and you can taste... I think coconut? Wow. STUNNED. Again, sorry my pictures are bad. I couldn't wait to eat.

I came here with my actual mom to try out mom can cook. There was no mom in sight that cooked our food. It was a man that cooked our food. The reason we came to eat here was because we won a gift certificate that had $25 on it. After using it, the actual price exceeded this $25. We spent additional money maybe another 25$ or so for two dishes. So each dish was about $20ish which to me is way overpriced especially given that I had much better Thai food. We did order calamari and it was an additional $4 because it was seafood and same with the shrimp. The markup after covid is criminal. However, we needed to get rid of this gift certificate as it had an expiration date. The service felt rushed, they close at 3pm for some reason and we got there at 2pm that day we went. The guy kept asking us after we ate our food, if we were ready to leave and would like the check immediately after we finished the two plates. My advice, be quiet and let me relax and enjoy what I just consumed. It was about 2:50 pm and were just paid and left as quickly as possible. They did overcharge us for the dinner portions even though we were there before dinner was served. They reopen later at night for dinner. Overall, food was fatty, greasy, tasty and small portioned. I didn't like the service that much, but the food was decent quality. The price however, was not fairly priced for customers given the size of the meal. No meal in my opinion with a small plate of pad Thai and pad see ew should ever be over $20 and the additional 4$ for seafood was not worth it. Yes, the shrimp and calamari were delicious, but it was not a whole lot. I went and got some ice cream after since I was hungry still. Inside was spacious and clean, the service was fast but also rushed. Value of food was not worth the price tag. Overall, I have mixed feelings about mom can cook. Should have renamed it something else considering no moms were inside cooking.

It's really a shame. When I first started coming to this hole in the wall Thai restaurant in the back of a decrepit strip mall, I was astounded by the flavorful food they served. "Mom" was still cooking and her son was the host. Everything about this place reeked of charm and the food backed up the wonderful ambiance. Sadly, this is no longer the case. As Mom Can Cook has grown in popularity, they expanded the size of the restaurant, and now cater to a much larger clientele. As a result, the food, which has always been the main drawing point has taken an unfortunate nose dive. I visited again last night. I won't be visiting again. We ordered their famous pad thai, mixed veggies, yellow curry, and pineapple fried rice. The pad thai was still pretty good. However, this can't be said for the rest. The yellow curry lacked flavor... The curry was very watery and had no kick even though we ordered it medium. The pineapple fried rice had very little cashews, pineapple, and raisins. Lacking flavor in their dishes in one thing but chinsing on key ingredients is another altogether. Very disappointing. The mixed veggies were ok... I liked the sauce it was in. I don't treat myself to Thai food often. When I do I want my socks knocked off with the amazing flavors. This visit to Mom Can Cook unfortunately left my socks on. It's really a shame what has become of this place. Next time I'm heading back to the true champion of Thai food in the SCV. Jasmine Thai in Valencia.

Surprisingly good Thai food in Santa Clarita. Didn't know that existed to be honest. Found this place after searching on Yelp. This small place does well. Went there tonight around 6:15 was seated immediately, no wait. The table was wiped promptly before sitting down and we were asked what we wanted to drink almost right away. They have wide selection of beers, wines and saki. Our drinks were brought to us very quickly and we ordered. We didn't have to wait long before our soup came out. Given enough time to eat our soup, our main entrees came out. They timed everything really well. We ordered the Tom Ka soup. It was very good, my only critique is that it's wasn't as temperature hot as I would've liked it. We also ordered the pad Thai, yellow curry, and the mama's green beans. Everything was exceptionally good, and the spice level was perfect. The staff is super polite, nice, efficient and fast. I will be going back next time I'm in Santa Clarita.

My favorite Thai restaurant in SCV! I recommend the Thai Tea and pineapple fried rice!!

Excellent Thai food. I love the nice, cozy seating and incredible artwork that depicts Thai culture well. The staff are super friendly, they speak in their native tounges ( hope that are not talking about me LOL ). Our food has delicious flavors, and my Thai iced tea was a star. The eggrolls were tiny but full of veggie flavor and paired well with the dipping sauce. We ordered some fried rice and curry, both of which were fire. I told the host to bump up my spice lever to the max, and he said ok as he laughed and walked away. i was expecting the curry to be super spicy, but it was pretty mild. On a scale of 1-10, the spice level was around 5ish, it warmed me up on the cold, wet November night.

I've tried this place 3x. In my humble opinion, the ratings are overhyped. It's good, but not memorable. However I'm willing to try again.

Found this place by just driving by and it doesn't disappoint! If you read this come check them out! We've tried different dishes and they make excellant Thai food! Servers very nice and very reasonable! One of the best in valley!

Delicious food and good service. Enjoyed the original recipes that I haven't tried anywhere else.

We stopped in for the lunch special and had a very good meal. I ordered the green curry with white rice at a spicy level #8. It was only 11.99 and tasted like a million. I added a large Singha Beer and thoroughly enjoyed lunch.

Really yummy, the food is amazing and everyone is so friendly! When you walk in it has such a lovely vibe and feels very comforting, it's became a regular spot to go to on the weekends

The best thai food I've tried! Food is so flavorful and fresh and portions are generous. Definitely recommend! Their pad thai and green curry are both amazing!

My partner and I love the Thai food here. The ambiance of the restaurant is perfect and welcoming, yet still small so it's intimate. Hands down we feel it's the best Thai food in Santa Clarita. They have amazing lunch specials too.

Not bad for Thai in the suburbs. Meet up with some friends for dinner as they also wanted to try this place out. It's in a strip mall which there's plenty of parking, that's always a plus. Place is decent size. There's a bar but I'm not if it's a full bar. Menu did have a lot of your traditional dishes. Service was great, the ladies that were working were pretty attentive and checked up on everyone to make sure that everything was good. What we ordered was great, the appetizers and main. Overall, service was good and food was good.

We had a simple dine-in meal at Mom Can Cook Thai Kitchen and really enjoyed it. The Pad See-Euw (my wife's go-to Thai dish) was spot-in. The Siamese Herb Fried Rice was delicious too. We enjoyed the very friendly service and the dining room was cozy and comfortable. There are a good number of vegetarian options including something on the side order menu just labeled "Vegan" for $1.50. I hope it's not made of people. We'd definitely come back and/or or order as most of the delivery services bring food from here to our house. We'll definitely be back.

Always good Thai food very authentic and tasty no complaints . Lots of more unique Thai food dishes that you don't find elsewhere

My hubby and I went for lunch, our second time to eat at Mom can cook and we weren't disappointed food is delicious, service is great. I told our waitress that I wish they would have a restaurant in our area, the waitress said she would talk to the owner, the waitress left then came back and said that they will be opening a Mom can cook takeout in Castaic on The Old Road, wow, amazing news.

The service is awesome!! I have only tried the shrimp curry but it is top level!! I would recommend it !!!

I wasn't a fan of this Thai food. I really wanted to like the place. Maybe it's because I have only ever ordered takeout out. Might be better in restaurant. But everything I got was pretty meh. I love that they have a full vegetarian menu. Maybe you'll have a better experience.

The food was amazing, been to a few Thai spots in this town and I love this one the best.

Came to visit a buddy who recently moved to Canyon Country and I said lets get some lunch! You choose! They picked Mom Can Cook Thai Kitchen. What a mouth full! Guess what? Our bellies were full also after the meal. One thing I loved about this place is the interior. It had a blend of Asian and Western feel to it. Its a bit difficult to explain. We ordered three dishes for this visit. Pad thai, pork jerky and larb. I enjoy Thai restaurants that have more to offer than the typical dishes as it gives me a feel of authenticity of the culture. I've had fried beef jerky but never pork and it was amazing. This dish is one that needs to be consumed as it is served as it'll start to become more tough as it cools down. Pad thai was ok and the larb was great as always. What is most enjoyable of their food is all the herbs you can smell and taste heightening the dining experience. Parking: private lot VERDICT: One and done

Great place! Make sure to get the Thai iced tea you get a frozen Thai tea, bear and the tea and it's delicious filled with some sort of jelly! I got the yellow curry. It was awesome and I also got the shrimp wrapped noodle appetizer. delicious! Great ambience excellent servicedefinitely recommend

I've been coming here for 15+ years now. Never misses for me. The customer service is amazing as always and the ambiance and vibes are very homey. My go to is the Tom yum soup and the chicken pad Thai! Chicken sauté is also amazing! Jasmine tea 10/10! Try everything especially the curries!

Mom Can Cook Thai is THE place for delicious Thai food in SCV! The employees are quick, friendly, and super attentive! My wife and I loved the yellow curry, roti puff, and No.1 Pad Thai. Definitely will be coming back every time we crave some yummy Thai!

This place is one so the best this places in Santa Clarita. My hubs and I came here for a early Sunday dinner and split a soup and entree. Portions are beyond generous. Our server was great help in helping us figure out what to order. He let us know that "mom" Taught her recipes to all the Thai chefs were hired. This is authentic Thai food. So flavorful and wonderful. Food came out in a timely order and the place was clean. We will fire sure be back to eat here again whether in person or takeout. We absolutely loved it and are shocked we hadn't been there sooner living so close to it.

Setting: The restaurant has an oriental feel, which is great because I think the vibe and name of the restaurant makes you expect dishes from homeland Thailand. Service: Our waiter was wonderful! He helped us navigate the menu and gave us delicious recommendations, such as the Roti Puff. Food: The food was delicious! The best and most unique dish that we had was Roti Puff. It's scallion pancakes dipped in Thai curry. I would definitely get the pad thai and Roti Puff again. The beef Mongolian plate was a simple beef and vegetable stir fry. It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad neither; it was a bit plain. Their thai tea and mango sticky rice was pretty good too! Overall, the food here is pretty solid. If you are in the area, I would definitely try it!

Highly recommend Mom Can Cook Thai if you are looking for yummy Thai food in SCV. It is definitely a hidden gem. We ordered Thai teas, which were sweet and so refreshing. We also ordered the roti, pad Thai, and teriyaki beef. Everything was so flavorful! Mom Can Cook Thai is definitely a must try!

Hands down best Thai food food in Santa Clarita! Spot is so nice & staff is super friendly. Service is very quick too!

My husband and I have eaten at Mom Can Cook a couple of times. Food and service are great!!

The food was good but don't come here if your not a fan of tipping we accidentally skipped the tip option and didnt tip ‍ as we were walking out 2 of the workers stopped us to question us about it just awkward and a bit rude considering it wasn't too busy and all they did was refill our water never coming back here.

They are always friendly when I walk in. I usually order take out and the wait time is pretty quick. The food is ready within 20 minutes. I have been wanting to try eating in the restaurant however have not but when I walk in it seems like a peaceful place to enjoy your meal. I have tried their regular pad Thai which i feel has pretty good flavor, nothing too different than other pad thais. I have also tried their yellow curry which also has good flavor. Their thai tea is good as well.

Some of the best Thai food around! Amazing family run restaurant tucked away in the back of a strip mall. It's a bit different from other Thai food I've had. The soup is absolutely next level with a ton of lemon and ginger in it!

This restaurant is tucked away but that's what makes it nice. Wide open parking and easy access. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food is made exactly how you request it. If you want spicy or mild they will help you make the best decision. Not greasy and the portions are big. I recommend this restaurant if you're looking for authentic Thai cuisine

Best Thai food in the valley This is our first choice for Thai food always. Recommend to anyone who loves curry

One of my very favorite Thai restaurants anywhere! I love the attention to detail. The frozen Thai tea bear is such a great touch.

Mom can cook! One of my top Thai places in LA, this is a must try! The papaya salad and larb guy with sticky rice is my favorite flavor explosion combo. The lunch special is also very good. 7 Spicy was a perfect level of spice for my party. Worth the 40 minute drive from the valley for me!

Rude employees! Never going back, food is bland. Ambiance is also bad I do not recommend

I've gotten take-put from here twice now. Love the Tom-Kha soup, which is super savory and they will make as spicy as you want. The Pad Thai and fried rice are also tasty The restaurant is slightly hard to find, in the back of the CC post office plaza, but parking is easy

My friend and I went here on a Thursday night. The restaurant is pretty spacious and has a casual feel. Service was very fast and the staff were helpful and nice. I unfortunately did not think to take pictures of the food. I had the Tom yum soup and my friend had the yellow curry. Both were delicious. I've come here previously and also had the pad kee mao and another noodle dish and both were awesome. We also previously had the mango and sticky rice for dessert, but we tried to order and they did not have any mango this time (it's not in season right now). We paid and we're about to leave and they gave us a free dessert! It was delicious, it had a Thai iced tea flavored glaze and it seemed like sweet bread. It was so kind of the staff to give us something completely free when they were out of the dessert we wanted to order. I've had a pretty good experience here each time I've gone and plan to return.

Much better when mom was there- it's still good but the friendly hello, the portion size has gone away. And like everything else the price has gone up

Dined here Saturday evening and the service and food continues to be great! Started with spring rolls and loved they were cut in half and filled with flavor! Then my partner and I split a Mongolian beef plate. It was enough for two people and was very delicious!! The brown rice was cooked perfectly! We thought we'd split dessert snd between the two of us only had half of fried bananas that were covered in unsweetened coconut...yummy! We both really liked it and it was his first time here and said he'll come back and was so happy I suggested Mom Can Cook!

Another one and done...I really wanted to like this place because I was looking for a new Thai restaurant and this place seemed to popping when I passed by one night. Ordered takeout and again it was packed for a Sunday night, which was a good sign. Staff was friendly and the food was ready on time as promised. Got home and wow, I tried to convince myself it was still decent, but when I got the stiff and tasteless mushroom in the Won Ton Soup, I had to spit it out. Grossed me out and had to toss the rest of the family meal. Maybe it was an off night so providing a two star. For me though, I learned my lesson. I'll be back to Aroma Thai.

Pretty disappointed. They were recently featured on the well-known food website Eater LA. I already knew about this place, but hadn't gone in; it does have high reviews. So finally, I decided to check it out the weekend after the Eater LA hype featured them as one of the best eats in SCV. We pre-ordered by calling in and picking up. When we got there on Saturday, it was so crowded, and we still had to wait in line to get to the register. I ordered the Siamese Herb Fried Rice. Man, they cut up the lemongrass pieces too small!!! I was like choking on them, because they're sharp and prickly! Note to kitchen/cooks: Please make the lemongrass pieces larger! The pieces don't have to be so tiny to achieve the same flavoring/seasoning. Also, probably since it was so busy, the weekend, plus the new popular status they have now, I didn't like the pad thai unfortunately. It was just ok, and definitely have had better.

Do not eat here for the bbq chicken. it is extremely overcooked, dry, and lacks flavor. It's too bad. They lost a loyal customer today. this bbq chicken used to be good.

The good: You know mom's cooking is always best. I got mom's special pad Thai which is pad Thai with glass vermicelli noodles instead of the rice flat noodle. It was delicious. I've never seen pad Thai made this way before and loved the spin on the traditional dish. I also tried the Siamese herb fried rice with chicken and thought it was spectacular. Fried rice is often just so-so and it can really make or break a Thai restaurant for me. The rice was cooked just right and had great wok flavor. I tried the northern Thai sausage which reminded me of Lao sausages. It was flavorful with lemongrass flavor and was a treat to have because it's rare to find at any restaurant. My family really enjoyed this dish. It came with a side of peanuts and was on a bed of lettuce. I will definitely order from them again! The bad: The papaya salad juices spilled everywhere in my bag. I think putting it in a plastic container with an air tight lid would be better than the Styrofoam box with the open edges. The papaya salad flavor was also bland and lacking. It didn't have enough acidity, kick or salt. I think it could have used more fish sauce/lime flavor. The panang curry was sweeter than other panang curries I've had. It was too sweet for me. The interesting: Their menu boasts that they're Santa Clarita's best Thai restaurant. I've only tried one other Thai place in this town and have to agree that between the two this Thai kitchen takes the lead. There's an online coupon for a free Thai iced tea if you spend $50 or greater.

My husband and I were passing through the town and what a wonderful surprise we had stopping here to eat. Everything was SO delicious. Their chicken satay was one of the best we'd ever had. Their Tom yum soup was so good, very bright! We also got the eggplant entree and red curry, both excellent. Lots of bamboo in the curry which was very nice! The service was amazing, very friendly staff. Would come again if we're ever in the area!

The best Thai restaurant in town! The food is absolutely delicious, the restaurant is super cute, and the staff is the best!

When Taste Meets Quality everything turns out better! It's been a minute since I've tried some great tasting Thai Food. And it's here in SCV! This place is a hidden gem, so don't let the old school location make you feel uneasy. Just go, order and Enjoy! First off, after reviewing some Google Reviews this Thai restaurant was the highest rated out of the few here in Santa Clarita. However I never tried it till today, and I'm glad I made the right choice! Parking is good, and this welcoming atmosphere of a place is something to be at with a date, friends or even your solo getaway! The inside was clean, and felt like a Authentic Thai Restaurant with modern flavor. The staff are friendly, and I really wished I sat and ate. But opted for Food to go on a late Thursday night. At first the menu was priced higher than other Thai Restaurants so I wasn't sure if I was getting a bargain. But upon eating dinner at home with their Signature "The Rich and Famous" Pad Thai, Crispy Tasty Rainbow Trout, and Homemade Style Wings, I knew right that second why this Gem is Called "Mom Can Cook Thai Kitchen!" Bite after bite, the priced matched the Taste! That much that I kept eating more than I can handle! Lol. Definitely a pleaser, and coming back for more! Sadly another location has been a great go to place that I've earned a great friendship with might not get my business as much anymore. Because this New Finding is a New Favorite for me! Thank you guys!

Mom can't cook anymore. I have tried this place several times after it was sold and I guess I must've had a senior moment because I went back today. The people are rude. There was two of us and we were told we had to sit at a table for two because it was going to get busy literally nobody ever came in after us except one guy. The chicken satae which used to be one of my favorite dishes Was tough and I could not even eat the chicken. The food was just plain tasteless. It is so sad to me to see such a good restaurant go downhill so much. Ironically, my daughter-in-law had gone the day before and when I spoke to her later during the day, her and my son had a similar experience. We will not, I repeat, not be going back. The old owners put so much love in that restaurant in the food and in the customer service and it is forever gone!!!!
