I have been to Rustic Spoon many times and only wrote 2 reviews. I don't know how much to RAVE about this lovely restaurant with their GREAT, EXCELLENT, AWESOME, FRIENDLY, yet professional customer service. However, I haven't been there in a long time. Maybe like 3 or 4 years?? I kind of forgot about this lovely, beautiful, quaint, restaurant. Yesterday, after a long day at a dentist office, my son and I drove all the way from Glendale to Studio City to have some DIVINE, DELICIOUS, FLAVERFUL, HOT, FRESH food at Rustic Spoon. I mean everything always tastes soooooo goooooooddd in every way. No matter what you order from their extensive menu. Well, last night right when they reopened at 4:30pm we were the first 2 customers that walked in. We were greeted by a lady by the name of Pear who had a nice demeanor about her and a beautiful, welcoming smile. We sat in their lovely, beautiful, cozy patio that was so nice, quiet and lit with romantic lights. It was so needed to be there, enjoy not only the ambiance, but the fresh air, service, food and relaxation that we both got. Food is on point. Always consistent. As it should be. I don't know what their main ingredients and recipes are, but somehow they always taste GREAT!!!! We ordered 1 order of Salmon Roll, 1 order of Roti App, Green Cilantro Salad, Large Tom Ka soup with shrimp add steam tofu, an order of Beef Panang, that came with White Rice and last, but not least Pad See Ew with tofu add Shrimp. Everything like I have already said few times; tasted beyond DELICIOUS!! Just GREAT!! Pear checked on us to see if everything was ok, I told her it was more than ok. Thank you. They have done some remodeling with the restaurant which looked modest, classy, romantic and beautiful. Perfect place to go on a date and you can sit inside or in the patio. Both works. Keep up the great work RUSTIC SPOON. One of my favorite Thai Restaurants in the San Fernando Valley area. Will be back soon. Won't let too much time go by this time around!!:-)) Thank you and see you soon!!!
Foods were a total bomb! We'll definitely be back for more! Service was stellar. Ideal for a small group of friends.
This was the first Rustic Spoon location I ever tried, so I definitely have a soft spot for it. Their outdoor patio is so cute. I always thought it was a great spot for a date. I ordered for take out this time, and unfortunately the night I came in the power was out. LA heatwaves, amirite? Regardless of that hiccup, the staff there was very friendly and did everything they could via candlelight. I was impressed! I ordered a beef salad, chicken pad thai and some gyoza. The dipping sauce for the gyoza was delightful. Chicken pad thai was a really huge portion. It was good, but not my absolute favorite pad thai ever. The Beef salad was really good, but it was just beef and not so much a salad. The beef itself and the sauce it was in was so delicious. Tender and flavorful, however I felt like it was lacking greens. I definitely do love this place and will continue to get food from here when I'm in the NoHo area. While take out is never a bad idea, I do recommend dining al fresco on their enclosed patio.
Like the location and the setting. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Dumplings, salad roll's, and other options were great. Would definitely visit again.
