Very Thai Is Only Pretty Thai But Very Worth a Visit
"The green curry pad Thai initially had me scratching my head - it feels sacrilegious to recommend pad Thai with zucchini in it. That said, the noodles have chew and get seared with wok hei; the permeating green curry flavor feels abundant and herbaceous thanks to fistfuls of fresh Thai basil."
"The massaman curry can compete with my Thai mom's, which is a huge compliment. The curry itself is creamy and nutty and has the perfect viscosity; not watery nor chunky. The brisket - slow-cooked and fragrant with cardamom and cumin - yields with the gentlest of spoon nudges."
"If ordering a curry, add flaky roti to the mix, which soaks up the curry broth and adds a textural dimension to the dish. An order only comes with a single, medium-sized roti - but it's definitely large enough to split for two."
"The dining room at Very Thai has panoramic windows, so there's a lot of natural light that allows you to appreciate the woven lamps, fresh orchids on display, and well-lit bar. It feels swanky without being stuffy, similar to Din Tai Fung."
Very Thai, a new Thai chain restaurant in Westfield Century City, surprises with its innovative dishes like green curry pad Thai featuring zucchini. The restaurant's fusion interpretations maintain authentic Thai flavors while departing from traditional styles. The massaman curry is creamy and nutty, rivaling homemade versions. The dining space is bright and inviting, suitable for various gatherings. Flaky roti complements the curries, and shrimp mooncakes provide a delightful sharing option. Spicy food enthusiasts can request higher heat levels for an extra kick.
