We enjoy visiting here! The service is always nice! The food has so far been all great. The soups, Papaya Salad, Ginger vegetable dish, and cashew dish are all great. If you need vegetarian or vegan let them know. The restaurant is simple and comfortable. Thank you!

I ordered chicken Tom Yum and a side of rice, (paid extra to add shrimp to my soup) via UberEats. The soup itself has amazing flavor! Fresh ingredients. I would have given this restaurant 5 stars had it not been for the fact that I received 1 shrimp when I paid extra to have shrimp added. If it's a case of $1 PER shrimp, this needs to be clearly addressed in the ordering options so we can add more than just one. Apart from this, the food is excellent, and they even included the thai chilis I requested on the side. I would order again. Please fix either the pricing or the portions. Thank you!!!!

The place has a very calm ambiance. I like how the lights are dim. The service was a bit slow even though they weren't too busy but it seems they do make everything out of scratch so I didn't mind. I ordered the spicy Tom yum, the pad see ew with beef and the shrimp fried rice. It was okay.. Nothing special honestly. I do have to say the Thai iced tea was delicious and refreshing. It was my favorite item. We paid about $60. I honestly don't think the prices match the food quality. Overall, I will not be returning.

Tried out Sissling Thai recently and honestly, it was just okay. Not terrible, but nothing really stood out either. The food came out warm and the presentation was decent, but the flavors were kind of underwhelming. I was hoping for something a bit more bold and authentic, but everything tasted a little toned down. Service was friendly, and the place itself is clean and cozy, which I appreciated. But for the price, I feel like I’ve had better Thai food elsewhere. Might be worth a try if you’re in the area, but I personally wouldn’t go out of my way to come back.

My fiance and I love this place !! Pad Thai with shrimp, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Pad See Yew with Chicken. The boss is super friendly, service-oriented, and he's always there. We have tried all the Thai spots around Downey Kaiser Permanente and Sizzling Thai Kitchen is hands down the best !! Support this small business !!

Tasted pretty good, but quality of the meat is not there. The angle wings is more of a chicken katsu, not really authentic.

Tried out this restaurant for lunch. There's great lunch specials where you pick your main item, and it comes with soup, salad, rice, and fried wonton strips. The soup was a clear broth with vegetables and a small piece of chicken. I also tried their thai tea. Everything was delicious. The service was great and the servers were so nice. I accidentally spilled my thai tea on my pants. The staff was kind enough to give me a complimentary to go cup filled with a new thai tea. I was very appreciative. It was clear that the staff were genuinely nice caring people.
