We had a great dinner at Natalee Thai in Culver City! We ordered the beef pad see ew, chicken pad Thai, shrimp fresh rolls, California yellow curry, and duck delight. Everything was flavorful, but the standouts were definitely the duck delight and the California yellow curry—both rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. For dessert, the fried banana was perfectly crispy and sweet, and the mango sticky rice was a nice, refreshing finish. Would definitely come back!

This was the best Thai food I have ever eaten! We had the spring rolls, Sate, Tom Yum soup, Pad Thai, the Heavenly Combo rice dish and Thai tea. Cagla was so friendly, answered all of our questions and gave excellent service. Ying was also lovely and made time to speak to us. We highly recommend!

Great spot for hot fresh Thai food. For those of us that know Natalee’s been around for a very long time. The food is always fresh and good. I got the Natalee house special fried rice that had shrimp, chicken and beef in it and it was delicious. We also got an appetizer they had a little bit of everything they offered on it. I really enjoyed the shrimp cake. It was delicious. The peanut sauce was on point I ate it on everything just about. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Great environment with spacious seating indoor and out!

Parking - Free, behind restaurant or paid street parking. Ordered - Papaya salad, pad see ew, Natalee's rice, green curry. Thoughts - The food was delicious and service was great too. Waiters were very attentive throughout. The inside of the restaurant is really cool too. Will be visiting again!

This is a very beautiful restaurant and it looks very modern and super high ceilings and I have never been to a Thai restaurant that looks like this. So it is very unique and beautiful. The dishes were tasty, including the eggplant, the vegetarian dish with a lot of vegetables and garlic, beef with string beans, and pad Thai. I wasn’t a big fan of them fresh Spring rolls. That was because they were premade and a little hardened. It was kind of cold and the shrimp was very hard. I also didn’t like the dipping sauce for the red spring rolls because it was more soy sauce based with a little fish sauce and it’s a peanuts. Instead of the typical sauce that has fish sauce and vinegar and sugar water base. We had to buy rice because they don’t come with the meals and they were already free wrapped up in tin foil for sticky rice. I didn’t think the size of the rice was a lot either. But I thought it was fascinating that a Thai place sold sticky rice that was not dessert and it was good. The serving sizes were good enough and not too salty. It was a really nice experience and a beautiful open space area with lots of glass windows.

Mediocre at best. My friend got the pork belly dish that was 25% pork and 75% steamed veggies. I got the tofu pad Thai which was flavorful, but not outstanding. I was also not a fan of the tom yum vegetarian soup. The lemongrass was overpowering… not sure if they made it wrong or if that’s how it’s supposed to taste. Since I’ve never had it before, so I didn’t mention anything to the server as I didn’t want to be rude. We agreed that the best dish we got was the fried tofu appetizer with the peanut sauce, that was delicious! Overall, I wouldn’t go back here, especially not for price and portion size. I think there is higher quality and better tasting Thai within the area.

It's been 10 years since I've been back. The food is fantastic as expected. Even got more fried bbq short Ribs to go. 😋 I'll be back soon.

Legit. No cap. They have kept the same great taste and quality since way back when. Food was fire, reminds me of our travels to Bangkok. Service was excellent! Pro tip: get the jade curry

Neat building. It gets super chaotic. Portions are okay, not the best value IMO. Prime location though and they get easily overrun, so I'd definitely avoid it on weekends. When I say chaotic, I mean it's the kind of place that if you ever worked in the service industry, you feel bad for the wait staff whenever you catch a glimpse of how they run things. It just doesn't stop. I would not be surprised if most of the employees have mealtime waivers.

Great local Thai restaurant in Culver City! I called in to place an order for pick up around 3 pm and was told my order would be ready in 25 mins. I drove over and snagged a parking spot in their private lot. The sign on their back entrance said they were closed but I was customers exit through the same door so I'm guessing they forgot to flip the sign that morning. The inside of the restaurant is quite large and airy, with lofted ceilings and even some skylights overhead. There were quite a few parties dining and I saw a few empty tables that needed to be cleaned. I took that as a good sign that they are busy even on a Wednesday at 3 pm. Before I walked away, I asked if there was chili and soy sauce inside and the cashier said yes. I got home and was disappointed to find that he gave me 1 packet each of soy sauce and chili for two entrees. Please be less stingy next time after I spent $42 for two take-out entrees, before tip. Pad Thai with shrimp: This was the best Pad Thai I had on the west side. It's a compliment because the other ones I've tried from local restaurants were awful. I did find that the flavor was toned down, I think to appease the West LA palate that may not be used to the strong flavors of fish sauce and tamarind that are usually found in this dish. I think the noodles were almost overcooked, perhaps because it was packaged to-go and continued to steam under a lid. I wish the overall flavor were tangier and more pungent and that they were more generous with the peanuts. However, I would get this dish again if I had a craving for Pad Thai and couldn't make it out to Thai Town. Pad See Ew with Pork: The pork dry and lacking in flavor. I should have gotten tofu instead. The noodles, however, were cooked to perfection compared to the Pad Thai. I liked the flavor of Thai dish, though I found it a little bit too sweet towards the end of my meal. I'd get this dish again when I'm craving pan-fried noodles but would pass on the pork. I'll be back to try the papaya salad, curry, tom yum, and sticky rice. I have a feeling they'll be better than the other Thai offerings in the area, and just good enough to satisfy my craving for Thai cuisine.

Nice restaurant inside, has a bar and separate large party area. Food was very good. I ordered Pad Thai, I would have liked more meat in the dish. Had a few shrimp and not much chicken. No parking in the strip mall where it's located. It looked like there is an underground parking in the lot, but I didn't go in there because it wasn't clear if I could park there. I parked around the block in residential area. The price tag was a little high, but I'd go again if I were in the mood for Thai if I were in the area.

Drove by Friday for some lunch. The meals are large portions. Defiantly recommend sharing if you have a small stomach like me. I was not a fan of the Pad See Ew(Beef). Too much pepper. Needed more flavor. The noodles were overcooked too mushy. My friend ordered Pad Thai and that was yummy. It nice inside. they have a bar thought that was different. Service was good.

I've eaten here a number of times. Always thought the food was fine, but the portions were smaller than other restaurants. The last time was okay, but the time before that was definitely not. I ordered my food and could then smell burning coming from their kitchen (it's an open design). Clearly, something was burning, but it wasn't my concern So I ignored it and kept talking to my date. My food came, I took one bite of it, and realized IT HAD BEEN MY FOOD THAT WAS BURNING AND THEY STILL SERVED IT TO ME!! Now I've worked in various trades before and that includes a restaurant. They should NOT have served me anything from a pan that had burnt food in it because the smoke destroys everything (think of a house fire). I had ordered peanut sauce as well and decided to use that to try and mask the taste. I didn't want to send it back because, honestly, I dont trust workers won't take revenge on customer's returned food. But, hey, that is my paranoia. I had felt this place was 50/50 before, but now I definitely think it's an over priced Thai restaurant. With so much competition available for good Thai food, I wouldn't recommend this place.

Love some good Thai food. This was a suggestion made by my wife. So we went for order to go. The location and ambiance is very beautiful and cozy. Cute place for a date or to meet up with some friends. They have a bar section as well. The female bartender was very nice and showed us where to sit as we waited for our food to be prepared for "to go". The food was good. Forgot to take pictures of the pad Thai and Pad see ew. But both dishes hit the spot as my wife and I, shared one another's. I would definitely go back to dine indoors next time.

Tom yum soup never disappoints especially during flu and cold season! I ask for extra ginger and it's delish! Honestly, that's my favorite dish but the pad Thai is decent too. A little too sweet for me but you can ask for some spices like I did and that should tame the sweetness a bit. The service is fast and friendly. The atmosphere is chill. Free parking available but limited on the back of the restaurant.

We went here on a Tuesday night so we branded it thai Tuesday. We didn't need reservations and were seated right away. It's a casual place with a chill vibe. It's not that big but spacious. Parking is easy as they are on a big lot with plenty of parking. Once we were seated it didn't take long fit our awaited yo come over. He was really nice but lacked personality, kinda dry. But hey still professional and polite. We ordered everything at the same time because we were pretty hungry. The food came out quickly, one at a time. It was all bursting with flavor. One downfall was although the beef salad was delicious, it was too spicy. It did indicate in the menu it was spicy but I thought it was too spicy to truly be able to enjoy. The waiter was so kind when we told him and he asked us what we wanted to do. We asked to get another salad because it was so good just without the red pepper flakes. It too was fantastic. Oh I forgot to mention the fried wontons for the appetizer with sweet and spicy sauce. The perfect combination. By the end of the night we were stuffed because we just couldn't stop eating the food was so good. Lol. There was so much food left that we even took some home. The service was good and our waiter was very accommodating an attentive. It was a great overall experience and we will definitely be back. There's so much on the menu to choose from . Ambiance: 7 Food: 10 Service: 9

The food is much better at the restaurant than when delivered. I don't know why things don't seem to travel well, but it can feel a little tired, whereas fresh out of the kitchen it's a very vibrant meal. Flavors are good and the meats travel better than the noodles and veg. It's all very tasty either way, but if you are craving Thai, you'll be much happier in their dining room.

Today was my first time eating here. The food was yummy and the service was good. I ordered a Thai Iced Tea, 2 spring rolls & the Beef Pad See Ew. They made it super spicy like I asked & the taste was on point. Totally recommend.

Charging people for an entree size to receive a side size portion is insane. The food taste a few days old as well.

We arrived to dine a little after 3 pm in the afternoon. The restaurant wasn't crowded, but we waited for a while before a server finally seated us. Once seated, we waited quite a long time before someone came to take our orders, and then it took another thirty minutes for the food to arrive. We ordered Kha Moo, and when it was served, we were all amazed by the portion size. It was huge and absolutely Instagram-worthy. The meat was not only tender and juicy, but also flavorful and perfect to go with rice. However, I'd suggest sharing one portion between two people, because the portion is truly massive. The Pad Thai turned out to be unexpectedly delicious, seasoned exceptionally well, making it a dish that you can't stop eating. Plus, the portion was generous too! Natelee's fried rice was probably the most disappointing dish of the meal. All I could taste was a strong basil flavor, soy sauce, and rice. It was quite bland and unimpressive, and after about half a plate, I couldn't continue eating because it lacked flavor. Even though the portion was large, the taste was quite disappointing. 下午三點多來用餐,餐廳沒有人滿,但是我們卻等了一陣子才有服務生還帶位。 入座之後也等了很久,才有人來給我們點餐,然而點完餐後等了三十分鐘後才上菜。 我們點了Kha Moo,上桌的時候我們都驚呆了,份量超爆大,而且超級適合發Instagram照片的,肉質不但Q彈滑嫩還非常的入味下飯,不過建議兩個人一起吃一份,因為份量真的爆大。 Pad Thai意外的好吃,調味非常優秀,讓人一口接一口就吃完了!而且份量也很足! Natelee's fried rice大概是這一餐當中最失望的料理了,我只能吃到濃濃的九層塔味、醬油跟飯,吃起來超級平淡不出色,大概吃了半盤我就吃不下去了,因為食之無味,雖然份量很大,但是味道卻好失望。

Delicious food with large portions! Just a little basic in their offerings. And ambience could use some work - just looks a bit dated and lacks charm. Loved the massamen curry and the duck which was nice and crispy. Pad thai was fine - good but nothing special. Not pictured was the Tom Yum which was good but lacking in dimension (too salty and not enough sweet or sourness?) They had the largest serving of mango sticky rice i have ever seen!! I will come back just for this which I thought was so delicious and fantastic value.

I placed an order for pickup and the ETA they gave was way off. I had to wait an additional 25 minutes in their lot. This is a busy and popular restaurant and I understand the orders take time. I wish they would provide more accurate etas. I ordered shrimp pad thai, spring rolls, thai chicken and ping fish. The food was fine except for the ping fish. The batter got soggy and would probably taste better dining in.

The Kha Moo is an absolute must-try--a pork shank that practically melts in your mouth. Make sure to order it if they haven't sold out yet. Alongside the Kha Moo, I also tried the Pad Thai, which was surprisingly delicious. Unfortunately, the Natalee's Rice didn't quite meet expectations due to an overpowering basil taste. Thankfully, the service was smooth sailing without any hitches. Inside, there's ample seating with a couple of tables available outdoors as well. Just a heads up, parking spots behind the restaurant are limited.

I hadn't been here in a while and decided to stop by on a recent rainy day. It seems they've renovated since I last visited (it's been years). The staff was great and the food is still delicious. My group ordered pad see ew (with shrimp), crab fried rice, tofu crisps, and pad Thai. I also ordered a Thai tea, which was soooo good! Outside of the delicious food, I must remove a star because the bathroom could have been better. It was clean enough, but just looked a little run down.

First time here and I noticed it is actually is a chain and other places. I love the spaciousness of it and ample parking. It is definitely a place you can bring a date. The lighting decor and open window makes it so casual yet sexy in a very simple way. Knowing Thailand this place just seems such a fusion to me but yet it serves up pretty good Thai food in general. Got the usual part that tasted really well seasoned. The red curry was spot on too! Service is really fast and friendly. Definitely recommend trying other items but we were way too full to be doing that.

I enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere at Natalee Thai. My friend ordered the Tom Yum soup and received a large bowl of fresh, hot soup. I tried something new and decided on the crab fried rice. It had a nice portion of crab in it, along with tomatoes and eggs. Definitely was filling and I would order it again. I've also had the red curry with ribeye, and it was super tender!

Very solid Thai place in the area!! The Thai tea was yummy and they have Thai iced coffee too. The crispy pork bites are a must try. They're crispy, tender and juicy all at the same time. The fried rice was pretty good but needed a little bit of flavor and the pad Thai was very sweet (a little bit too sweet) but overall, we enjoyed our meal. The service is great and we the inside is very spacious. There's some street parking in the area and it's very easy to find. I would say it was about $33 per person including a drink and tax/tip. A bit on the pricer end for the food you are getting.

It been years since I last visited this restaurant. The food and service is still top tier for me! I Came in on my lunch break. My dish was served fast, fresh and hot. This restaurant gets crowded during lunch time. There is a full bar with great cocktails and the TV's are on the sports channel. The TVs are strategically located for viewing from mostly any part of the restaurant. The music is playing in this restaurant but not loud. The patio is located towards the front of the restaurant so you can people watch while eating. This restaurant is great for large groups gathering and dining alone. There's parking behind the restaurant and west of the restaurant. Parking is limited. Street meters parking is also available. This is a wheelchair accessible parking and entryway. You can use cash, credit cards, debit cards. Takeout food is available.

came here for last minute lunch plans with a friend from out of town, and definitely recommend! first, the building itself is sooo cute. would recommend coming here for lunch because the glass windows let in so much natural light it and make it a great place to be dining inside. the service was great, everyone was very friendly and attentive but patient as we took our time to look through the menu, i ordered the pad see ew, and shared the papaya salad. both were good portion sizes, i ate until i was stuffed and then i had some leftovers to take home. will definitely be back the next time im craving thai in culver city, maybe to try a curry next.

came here for new year's b/c we wanted to try out another thai restaurant while we were in la & they were closed. this restaurant was just down the street & open! ordered my usu which is a pad thai & my brother got a chicken salad. everything was good & service was great & at the end of your meal, they give you fortune cookies & other cookies as well! plenty of parking & the parking lot doesn't have a lot of light at night, so you might have to park in pitch black if you're not able to park closer to the front & they share the parking lot w/ a grocery store, so there's plenty of parking.

Bottom-line: They screwed up my order twice, but I was comp'd the Pad-thai even though it wasn't what I ordered. I came here during the lunch rush. There lunch special menu is extremely limited, and doesn't include any fan favorites such as yellow curry, pad Thai, pad-se-ew. It took over thirty minutes to serve what I originally ordered -- the yellow curry chicken. I asked for my curry to be made spicy, and the waiter told me 'it comes as spicy.' That's bizarre because when it was served to me, it was neither hot, nor spicy. The 'broth' was about room temperature. The waiter confessed it's already made. If that was the case, why did it take close to thirty minutes from it to get from kitchen to seat? Even worse, there wasn't a lunch special on this one, so it is quite surprising that there is absolutely no degree of customization available. After sending it back, I ordered the pad-Thai with chicken to-go. And that's NOT what I received. I received pad-thai with shrimp, tofu (possibly some chicken). Since I left, I had to phone-in to get a refund. After the manager did her preliminary investigation, the manager apologized to me and informed me it was a mistake. Since I was well on my way, she offered to reimburse me. I gladly accepted. Will I be back here? I don't know to be honest.

We tried Natalee Thai in LA for the first time and the food was very tasty! We got the crispy pork belly was was very fatty, but really good with the spicy sweet and sour sauce. We tried several dishes including the Chicken Chow Mein, the Fried Spare Ribs, the Pad Thai and the Spicy Monsoon noodles. The ribs were really good, the sauce of them was delicious the chow mein was great too! I never had chow main at a thai place, but they did it with ease. The Pad Thai had a very nice peanut-tasting flavor to it and the Monsoon Noodles were okay. It was supposed to be spicy, but we ended up asking for more spice for that one. We tried the fried banana desert too and it was so good!! I'm not one for desserts, but I really enjoyed this one. We also got some drinks, I had an apple martini which was kind of sour because it was a green apple but then I got a key-lime martini and had to stop the presses!!! It was so good!! Very sweet, but that's what I like. We did have to wait a little while for a table big enough for our party to open up because we had a stroller, but the workers quickly cleaned off a space when one was available and we had a good meal.

Met up with my friend here on a Tuesday around 3:30 pm. There were a few parking spots open in the small parking lot behind the restaurant but also metered parking spots available as well. I parked in the parking lot and headed inside. The interior is modern and casual. We sat in the small platform in the middle of the restaurant which had a nice skylight coming in. The employees tending to us were very kind and friendly. There were a good amount of options on the menu. The waiter told us that entrees do not automatically come with rice so you'd have to order it on the side as an extra. He told us this before we looked at the menu. I don't really love when restaurants do this so I decided to try the shrimp wonton noodle soup. My friend wasn't a fan of the rice policy either so she decided to get the pad Thai. The food came out within a few minutes. The shrimp wontons were pretty yummy, the noodles were thin and cooked perfectly. There was also some Bok choy which I liked and the broth was simple but savory. It was a little weak but still tasted good. The pad Thai was pretty flavorful but wasn't the largest portion. Overall pretty decent food, I think you could get better around for the price or the same quality for cheaper. Not a bad choice though especially for the area! Great to know they're Thai select!

I dropped by at 6:50 just to pick up a beverage to drink and I was turned away because they were closed. What a shitty business model to be closed at dinnertime. Don't bother with this place, the food isn't that great either and it's pricy. Hit Thai Palms Hollywood instead.

Advertised hours show 10 pm close time. Either they have employees that cannot tell time or really bad management. Closing at 940 is not how to run a business.

I live in the Culver area and was looking for some good Thai around the area for a Monday night, and people who have been around the area longer than myself said that Natalee Thai was a must try. The ambiance of the restaurant is great, which is a traditional sit down that is more casual, with tons of seating across the restaurant as well as a bar with TV's. We were there on a Monday night, and it was very busy which is a testament to how well known this place is. We started with some veggie, crispy spring rolls with a sweet sauce. The rolls were cooked to a perfect crisp with fresh vegetables. The sauce was also very tasty and a nice compliment to the texture of the roll. We split two entrees, a traditional pad thai which included chicken and shrimp, as well as the heavenly combo fried rice, which included shrimp, steak, and chicken. Both dishes had tons of food which I appreciated. Additionally, they both tasted amazing, and simply felt like traditional thai cuisine that was warm to the belly. Service was top tier, and very attentive to our needs as well as available for recommendations. Overall, if you are in the Culver area and are craving Thai food, this is the place to go!

Ambiance: spacious dining hall inside, the ceiling widows bring bright daylight to the center of the establishment Service: very slow and impatient, didn't provide much useful suggestions Food & Drink: classic Thai food menu, variety choices of different categories Pad Thai - *** Shrimp, chicken, eggs, green onions, bean curd, sweet radish, & bean sprouts are quickly wok fried in our own pad Thai sauce. Served with chopped peanuts, fresh red cabbage, a lime wedge and chili powder on the side, average taste Natalee's Rice - ** Spicy wok fried rice with choice of pork, cooked with fiery hot chilies, garlic, green peppers, bell peppers, onions, & fresh basil. Not spicy at all, undercooked rice, stingy on protein. Thai Iced Tea - *** average taste Price: not authentic Thai food, overall pool quality, it costs about $25 per person, wouldn't return or recommend this place to friends

In A Nutshell: -Natalee Thai located off of Venice Blvd. is good Thai restaurant that serves what I feel tastes like homemade Thai food. -You get nice portions here. -Their Steamed Sea Bass & Tom Yum Soup were terrific. -The server who also worked at the bar was very friendly & attentive. -This place is full of locals so that's always a good sign. Overall, the prices weren't too crazy so this is a WIN in my book if you need some Thai food in the Culver City & surrounding areas.

This was my first visit to a Natalee Thai. I saw their location on Olympic/Robertson before, but am currently near this one over on Venice. Figured I'd be safe with chicken satay (sate) so I went with that along with a side of steamed rice. Service was nice as I waited for it to be packaged up. I went through the first skewer, admitting I was so hungry I didn't even look at it. However, the second one was not thoroughly cooked where it was fairly pink. This turned me off immediately, especially since I just went through that first one. Since I was so close, I was able to drive back and explain my issue. She put in for the meat to be well-done. Walking out, I assumed everything would be okay but when I went to cut into this, same thing. Is chicken sate normally like this? I don't normally eat Thai food, but figured I would give them a try with something basic, but I guess this is life telling me that Thai food is not for me. I will say the rice and their peanut sauce was delicious. I wouldn't mind giving their take on fried rice (Peasant's Pleasure) a try, but I am a little put-off due to my first experience with their meat here.

This is a great spot in Culver City with a lot of Americanized Thai staples (pad thai, pad see ew, etc.). A standout were the appetizers: crispy spring rolls that were hot and fresh and outstanding and tender ribs. We ordered take-out, but if the TO experience was that good, then I imagine getting it "right out of the oven" would be even better. Most of my reviews are longer and have a lot of detail about decor, etc., but what more is there to say with re: to takeout?!

I wanted to like the food here but for a vegetarian, this place is a miss. They have a really large menu and good portion sizes. They even have a vegetarian section. But upon ordering, we were told all curry dishes have fish sauce and most of the others have osyter sauce too. So, none of the veg dishes are actually vegetarian. They don't modify too much either so if you remove these sauces, they won't add others for you. Not the best experience.

Natalee's Thai is much try. They have a variety of food and drinks items. There is plenty of parking at the Venice location and a reservation is not usually necessary. Great place for lunch and dinner. The service is great and the atmosphere is calm and comfortable. I highly recommend the egg rolls, fried wontons, pad Thai and the heavenly combo fried rice. There's a full bar with delicious cocktails. Enjoy!

Busy, busy, busy but in a good way. This restaurant has been around for awhile and now I see why it's surviving their food is delicious. Fresh spring rolls and yummy pad Thai.

We came here at the last minute to dine. Our first time dining at this restaurant. The wait for the table was only about 10 minutes. The restroom was clean and the city was comfortable. Parking in the lot behind the restaurant was very good, we had no trouble finding a spot. I would the service as good. We had a trainee working our table and she lacked the "glad to be working here attitude." Big frown on her face was not impressive. But it still boiled down to the food. I ordered the Classic Chow Mein with chicken and it came somewhere between slightly warm and cold. The children was not moist and tasted stale. I did not complain and finished the meal. I ordered a cocktail when I placed our order. We waited for it to be be served, but it only came after the main entree was served. I almost cancelled the drink because it came so late. But, again, I didn't complain. The drink was served in a fancy cup but was, quite frankly, a whole lot of ice and not much liquor. I wished I had just ordered a beer. The restaurant was crowded and above average noise. Most guests there were having a good time and the servers and waiters were very busy. All things considered it was a decent meal, but not attractive enough to draw me back.

Food is great at this place but service was awe full not once did the Asian kind of short server came to ask us if we needed anything but did to other tables we felt she looked down on us because we are Hispanic and it was only my husband and I so we left her $3.00 and she came to us to say why only $3 that she never got that low of a tip she should be glad we left her something, it is not obligated to give a tip you give it based on service which was aweful, by the way this happened just 20 minutes ago Ps I was almost done and ready to go when she bought my glass of water that btw I kept asking for it but she just ignored me
