Anantra Thai - Woodland Hills

Fantastic Thai restaurant. Every time we've taken others here to dinner they compliment the place and want to go back.

This restaurant seems destined for an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. While I have no complaints about the food or its flavor, my experience with the service earned it just one star. Prepare to be taken aback by what transpired… I visited twice with coworkers, and on both occasions, the wait for food was excessively long—around 20 minutes for a simple chicken with rice and salad. On one instance, an employee actually chased my coworker out to the parking lot to discuss the tip. On another occasion, my coworker was publicly humiliated in front of other patrons regarding his tipping. Just as we were about to leave, the server confronted him and began belittling him for not leaving a tip. I have never witnessed anything like this before.

To the owner: either compensate your waitstaff properly or you risk losing your business. The food is excellent—I’ve visited multiple times with my coworkers and friends. However, each time I dine there with a small group, the servers appear to be seeking tips after we've settled the bill.

My son and I dined at this restaurant last night and had a very unpleasant experience. We ordered food for takeout, and both of us ended up feeling extremely ill. I contacted the restaurant to inform them of the situation, but they did not take any action. Instead, they made excuses, suggesting that it was something we had eaten previously. We will not be returning to this restaurant.

I always come here to eat with my parents. Honestly, I've had probably every single thing on the menu and it's all delicious. It's usually pretty easy to get seating no matter when you arrive, and the service is always quick and helpful. Very highly recommend!
