   Farm House never fails to deliver great food in a beautiful space. So glad the restaurant was very busy as it hadn't been on previous visits. The best Thai food in town

   We came here for my wife’s bday; there was 5 adults and our 10 month old. Food was great drinks were good. Some of them sounded better than they tasted, but that’s just preference. The only issue we had was when it was time for the bill. The bill (300 plus dollars) arrived and I paid in cash as we were walking away the server stopped us and said she forgot to add the 20 percent gratuity because of the 6 people. I’m sorry, but there were only 5 adults and our 10 month old who had white rice and some veggies off our plate. I tipped well, but was stopped and asked to pay the rest of the gratuity before we left. I’m sorry but I felt like it wasn’t a party of 6 because we held our 10 month old or she sat next us in the booth and she wasn’t served anything. Not sure what everyone else thinks, but if you take a small child/ baby with you even if they don’t order their own food or sit in their own seat they will count them towards your party.

   If you are not familiar with this restaurant, put on your detective hat before going there. If you are familiar with it my condolences. During a visit with my daughter and two grandchildren, aged eight and nine, last weekend, I used Yelp to look at the menu on their website and Yelp reviews to be certain that they serve pad Thai, one of the only two Thai dishes the grandchildren will eat. I made reservations for the four of us, including the required $100 no-show deposit. When we arrived and were handed the menu, the only pad Thai on the menu is served with lobster tails, which they won’t eat, and which was $40. When we asked if they could just do the regular pad Thai ($16), they refused. It turns out that on the website, after the Dinner Menu, if you just so happen to keep scrolling, you will see another menu labeled Weekend Dinner Menu. Keep in mind that the regular Dinner Menu is not labeled Weekday Dinner Menu. So, do not assume that what you see on Yelp or their website is what you will get, but scroll around, looking for other clues regarding what food will be available when you arrive. The grandkids agreed to eat pad see eu, which when served, looked nothing like the photo on the website, and was poorly prepared, with almost no gravy or taste. The tom kha soup was much too sweet as well. The interior of the restaurant looked nothing like the website’s interior, either. Altogether, nothing but one disappointment after another. Needless to say, based on our experience, I do not recommend any of their locations, and frankly, am surprised that they are still in business.

   We tried several dishes at our table, and everything was delicious. The flavors and spices are bolder here, which made for a great dining experience. Definitely recommended.

   Exceptional. It’s rare to get good food and presentation at the same time and we received both! Highly recommend.

   Hi, OpenTabler since 2007 here with hundreds of bookings and reviews. I'm sorry to say that this is probably one of the more disappointing experiences I've had in a long time, and I can't recommend Farmhouse Kitchen to others. In fact, I recommend avoiding. Having dined at acclaimed Thai restaurants all around the world (including Michelin-starred restaurants in Thailand), I question the authenticity of this particular menu, which seems to focus heavily on presentation and theme which eschewing the technique and production of flavors that capture the essence of "real" Thai food. For example, my dish, the Kai Som Ros, was covered in bonito (smoked fish) flakes, which is generally associated with Japanese cuisine, and certainly not Thai. This bizarre choice, which had a great visual effect of the hot flakes pulsing and wafting when the dish arrived, unfortunately resulted in the sauce having a very smoky flavor that was unexpected and not at all appetizing. The cocktails, while creative in name and arriving in flashy/quirky containers, were run-of-the-mill quality. EVERYTHING on the menu is overpriced. My advice to the restaurant: go back to the basics and refocus more on culinary quality and authenticity. You can do that without compromising the flashy presentation. But when the best part of the experience is the presentation, it comes across as a gimmick intended to justify an overpriced menu.

    It was great coming back to Farmhouse Kitchen Thai after visiting the Hawthorne location previously. The staff was super accommodating about some folks in my party being late to the reservation. Really Happy with the service, portion sizes and fun decor. Highly recommend!!
