Rich & Richer Authentic Thai Cuisine in Simi Valley

Inside Rich & Richer Authentic Thai Cuisine

Rich & Richer Authentic Thai Cuisine is a straightforward, family-run Thai restaurant tucked into a quiet stretch of Stearns Street in Simi Valley. The moment you step inside, it’s clear this place centers around fresh, thoughtfully prepared dishes without fuss or pretense. The small dining room feels welcoming rather than trendy, with the owners often present to chat quietly with regulars, creating a neighborhood vibe that’s both relaxed and attentive.

What stands out here is the consistency and care in the cooking, particularly in their curries and noodle dishes. The red and green curries offer a balance of rich coconut milk and vibrant spices, with a noticeable wok-char on the noodles that speaks to proper technique rather than reheated convenience. Soups like Tom Yum Shrimp come served with a genuine burst of sour and spicy flavors that feel right at home amid the Southern California heat.

This spot fits well for anyone looking to enjoy hearty, authentic Thai flavors without the rush of a busy mall food court or a high-design dining room. Lunch specials provide a practical way to sample several favorites without overcommitting, making it a reliable choice for weekday meals. The Thai iced tea here is a real draw for those after a sweet, cooling balance — less sugary syrup, more brewed tea depth.

Evenings tend to bring in a mix of local families and couples who appreciate steady quality and a friendly face behind the counter. The owners’ obvious pride in their food and warm customer interactions add a layer of comfort that encourages repeat visits. If you’re new to Thai cuisine or someone who values small, locally owned places where the cooking feels personal rather than industrial, Rich & Richer offers an inviting seat at the table.

Whether you’re stopping by for their spring rolls as a starter or diving into a bowl of Red Curry Chicken, expect a straightforward, flavorful meal that respects traditional tastes without veering into overly commercial territory. This is a quiet, dependable option for anyone in Simi Valley craving honest Thai food served with genuine local hospitality.

AMAZING! The red curry with medium spice is delicious, thai iced tea and the green curry were also amazing! Their lunch special is awesome and the owner is such a sweet heart. We’ll probably start going once a week!

Hidden gem! The owners are so nice and welcoming, very friendly. Every time I go the food is fresh and tasty without fail. The pad see ewe is the best I’ve ever had and my husband says he could eat the spicy eggplant everyday! All other dishes we’ve tried have also been just as delicious

So fresh tasting. Never had red curry before and very happy that my first experience was at Rich & Richer. Thai iced tea was very refreshing. Owner is very friendly and food was phenomenal. Very fast and courteous service too. Thank you!

We wanted to try a different Thai place in Simi, as the Thai restaurant we have liked for years has really gone downhill since covid. We are so glad that we tried this one! The flavors are rich and vibrant, and you can taste the caramelization from the wok on the noodles. Definitely no previously frozen food or corner cutting here! The husband and wife owners are the real deal. Since they are the ones who take orders, make and serve everything, don't expect this to be an instant meal. You are getting a genuine home-cooked delight, and it's worth a slightly longer wait, if at all. Go here!!!!!

It’s rare to find a place where the cooking is both top-notch and infused with such genuine care. Thanks to Rich and Richer Thai, our road trip became a memorable adventure, highlighting the joy of discovering a local treasure. If you're in the area, don't miss the chance to indulge in some of the best Thai food we've ever had! A review would not be complete without mentioning the amazing owner, they made out of town customers feel like we have been regulars.
