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!

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!

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 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.

Just had the best experience at a Thai restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Our servers, Angel and Patcha, were incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. They were so friendly and really enhanced the whole dining experience. Definitely planning on going back soon!

I was invited here by a friend and treated to a great lunch! The food and everything else was great. I would highly recommend! I had TomYum soup and my friend had fried fish with some type of curry sauce. We both loved our meal. Thai ice tea was top notch too.

Natalee Thai is one of the better Thai places in Los Angeles. The food never disappoints. We have been there many time and I thought I had reviewed them, but I failed. We have had delivery, take away and most of the time we dine there. The service is just great. They know the menu well and will help you. They listen when you say mild or spicy and it comes out perfect every time. We have never had a bad dish there. We have never once had bad service. They are fast, but you are not rushed. Parking is super easy in the lot and it is free. The prices are very fair for the quality and quantity of food you get. We also have to get a doggy bag, and our take out lasts us for two days. It is so easy to reheat. There is not a dish we do not like, we have been through the entire menu. Some of out favorites are the California curry which is served spicy, I always get mild and they do that without taking away the flavor. It is tender chicken chunks slow cooked in coconut milk with potatoes and carrots. Their Pad Thai, which is shrimp, chicken, eggs, green onions, bean curd, sweet radish and bean sprouts are quickly wok fried in pad Thai sauce. Served with chopped peanuts, fresh red cabbage, a lime wedge and chili powder on the side. It is great Pad Thai. That is always a must for me. We also love all of their rice dishes. I usually get a combination of fried rice. Even their hot tea and cold Thai Ice tea are great. You will love this place. It is also so very pretty, in a wonderful building and it is never too loud. It is comfortable.

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!
