The Most Flavorful Thai in Los Angeles

Thai Original BBQ Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (350) • $$

"Small restaurant with convenient free parking in the area, very friendly service. The food is on a little sweeter side but good. I look forward to come back again soon to try other dishes."

Chilli Thai

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (405) • $$

"Surprised that place only has a three star rating. We can on a Sunday afternoon and we were the only party in the entire rerstaurant.We had came because we saw here on Yelp that they had Stuffed Angel Wings, but sadly when we arrived and tried to order it, the lady said they were out of it. :(I had the Spicy Noodle (known as Drunken Noodle) and it came out fresh and delicious! I ended up eating the entire plate, it was that good! Freshly prepared noodles with chicken tossed together with spices and sauce to add that heat, delicious! The other dishes the rest of my party ordered were delicious as well, all freshly made with great flavor and decent sized portions too!Took a star off because they didn't end up having what we came for which was the Stuffed Angel Wings.Other than that, would recommend giving them a try if you are in the area for Thai food!"

Krua Thai Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 • $$

"Our new fave thai place AGAIN. We stopped going cos we found a closer place khun dang but then khun dang became too busy and pricy so we went back and the krua thai pad thai is a must!"

Tumnak Thai Food & Pho

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (51)

"Food is real Thai food made by actual Thai people. Not that there's anything wrong with other races making other people's food, I'm just saying in terms of authenticity. And they're open late af which is pretty damn clutch when you don't want to resort to fast food or Denny's.The negative reviews you see about this place are based off of deliveries and people who have their taste buds out of whack. Stop slandering this food like you know all about it because you don't know how to cook top ramen properly at home."

Radna Silom

★★★★☆ 4.3 (66) • $$

"After 5 visits, I can confidently say that this is my go-to spot for Pad Thai (which I don't really order much of at other places because they tend to be sweet) and Kra Pao. Pad Thai's well balanced in flavor. Noodles still chewy. The toppings are LEGIT. Kra Pao spice level is great. I used to ask for Thai Medium Spicy (yes, there's a difference between US and Thai spice levels) and now I don't even have to because it's on point. Ambiance makes you feel like you're in Thailand. Service is absolutely amazing all the time too."

Nat's Thai Food

★★★★☆ 4 (149) • $

"My sister and I visited Nat's Thai Food just a few days ago. This was the closest food place to our hotel. Despite the mixed reviews, we decided to give it a try. We were greeted by a super welcoming older Asian lady. She gave us a genuine smile and offered us the menu. We were the only ones there. My sister got the yellow curry and I ordered the green curry with spring rolls. Although the lady that took our order was the only one there, she cooked our food very fast. The food was DELICIOUS! The spring rolls were crunchy on the outside but soft inside. My green curry had a very generous amount of tofu. :) Both of the curries were OUTSTANDING but they were both super hot. I highly recommend them both, just be careful not to burn yourself. We also got white rice to go with our curry. It was so good! If I have not made it obvious by now, I loved this place!The food was reasonably priced and I would definitely visit this hidden gem again if I am ever close to it. At the end, the lady handed our food with a very warm smile, which was the cherry on the cake. Definitely recommended!"

Delish Thai Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.7 (70)

"Visited this auspicious place tonight! Ordered the Thai hot wings (not hot but delicious), veggie pancake (my favorite, wish I would have ordered two), shrimp rolls, Rangoons and crabmeat fried rice. Everything was delicious, I'm sad I reside in a different county because I would be here at least twice a week. Service was on point as well. I look forward to returning and trying their other dishes. Highly recommend this place."

Tahntawan Thai Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.6 (314) • $$

"Never had a bad experience here. Everybody is so nice, the food is reasonably priced, and most importantly, it's super consistent. Love this place and supporting local businesses!"

Jakkapat Thai Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (171) • $$

"Neighborhood spot for Thai. Always great food and service. This place doesn't get too busy inside but lots of takeout activity."

Sticky Rice

★★★★★ 4.6 (167) • $$

"One of my favorite Thai spots in LA! The richness in flavor in every dish is unparalleled. They use real ingredients, not just spices- to give that authentic Thai flavor. We always order for takeout but we came in today for a quick lunch and really felt the Thai vibes! The food is just as good in house vs for take out. Love this place! Give it a try if you havnt."

Jitlada

★★★★☆ 3.6 • $$

"I don't get the bad reviews here. this place was BOMB. it was even on diners, drive ins, and dives!!! to start off, service was great, the waitress was very nice and we got our food in a timely fashion. the inside of the place is lovely and has many traditional Thai decorations as well as news articles mentioning the restaurant.we ordered the pad thai with shrimp, green curry with shrimp, crying tiger beef, and thai iced tea. the pad thai was very unique, honestly I had never had a pad thai like this one before. i loved it. the green curry was amazinggg and wasnt watery and had great flavor! beef was good but not totally my fav, and the thai iced tea was strong and sweet and wasnt overloaded with ice (aka perfect). i really liked this place and I hope to be back again!!"

Exotic Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.9 (683) • $$

"Ordered takeout couple of nights ago, as it was my first time trying this place out, and everything I ordered was amazing! The taste of pad Thai and pad see ew noodles tasted delicious! Will definitely come back and try out more food!"

Pattaya Bay Thai

★★★★☆ 3.6 (480) • $$

"I've tried many things here .. some have been flops and the others have been staples ... I suggest for appetizer getting the money bags .. for entrees I stick with the yellow chicken curry .. so good and flavorful .. my friend gets the seafood soup and loves it from here .. service is always impeccable and the ambiance is great , it's usually pretty chill.. they have karaoke nights and sometimes it can get packed so if you like a more chill ambiance skip those nights"

Holy Basil

★★★★☆ 4.2 (346) • $$

"The hype is real. I was always put off by this place since I read that parking is rough in this area. Surprisingly for doing a pickup on Friday at 7pm, free street meter parking (since it's free after 6pm) was plentiful. I think it was due to the NY holiday where the out-of-towners aren't taking up space. I placed an order online and drove over. The order still wasn't ready so I had to wait a couple of minutes.I got a number of dishes. The portions aren't that big so it's a bit pricey but the quality is there. Overall, the flavors are sweeter but they pack more of a punch and are very flavorful. I loved the deep soy sauce flavor of the pad see ew. The moo krob was just okay; I wanted this to be crispier. The shrimp yellow curry was unique and didn't taste like a curry I've had before; the shrimp was plump. The Tom Yum also had deeper flavors with tons of aromatics. The crispy rice salad was a bit of a downer and was too vinegary. This spot doesn't serve your typical Thai flavors and delivers something extra. You must be warned though that my tummy did have some troubles a few days after."

Chiang Mai Thai Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (324) • $$

"They have a small parking structure in the back that does fill up quickly but there is also plenty of parking on the street. Small underrated Thai food establishment with enough table space to fit groups of more than 4. It is not usually crowded, most people order take out. All their food tastes authentic and home made and not overly greasy. We always order pad Thai, pad see ew, fried rice, Tom yum & mango sticky rice. What I love most about this place is that their food is ALWAYS consistent and delicious Also their Thai iced tea is perfectly sweetened and not too sweet. If you're looking for good Thai food or a cute place for a quiet dinner date on a weekend I 100% recommend checking them out."

Monster Thai

★★★★☆ 3.9 (802) • $$

"This is our favorite neighbor Thai spot. While we have dined in before, we prefer delivery or pick up. The inside of this place is tiny.Their soups are delicious. I love the sour tang of the Tom Yum Soup but we find ourselves ordering the Tom Kha Soup often as well. Both have very flavorful broths and are packed with veggies and a meat of your choice. Perfect for sick days or when winter starts to roll in. The Special BBQ Pork is a favorite of ours as well. Its grilled and served with a vibrant "special sauce." We have enjoyed our meals every time we have eaten at Monster Thai. The food is cooked fresh and delivery arrives pretty quickly."

Palmsugar Thai To-Go Westwood

★★★★★ 4.6 (56)

"What a find! Just delicious and excellent quality Thai food right in the neighborhood. They are not afraid of a little spice so be careful :-)I think it's all take-out so not much to say about service/ambiance. Basically just about the great food. Let's support this local business!"

Thai House

★★★★☆ 3.7 (738) • $$

"This is a great place for family style lunch or dinner! We found this place during an out of the office work meeting. With so much variety in the menu, we were able to select a variety of dishes to share and explore new items. The service was prompt and excellent. Parking was easily available as well. We ordered the following:* Spring Rolls* Hawaiian Fried Rice* Beef Broccoli * Orange Chicken* Chicken Pad ThaiOur order arrived quickly and was served piping hot. We all enjoyed our lunch and left satisfied. I know you will too.Enjoy your visit!"

Pho VT

★★★★☆ 4.2 (298) • $$

"tl;Dr - skip the Thai tea, the chicken egg roll bun had onion skin in it but flavor was good, fried pork loaf for the win! I am immunocompromised so I only got this for delivery through GrubHub. So I wish I could tell you what the ambiance and stuff like that was but all you'll get is the information on the food. :) First, the food arrived hot and fresh which is great as sometimes with delivery, the food can be lukewarm. -_-I'll start with the bad and end with the good. The Thai tea was tooooooooooo sweet for me. I thinned it out with more milk and it was still too sweet so even though I upgraded to get a 32oz tea, I ended up throwing it away. So basically $11 down the drain as they upcharged for no ice as I was planning on drinking it later and did not want ice to water down the tea. Thai Tea is a definite pass for me.They also made a mistake in the food or the menu on GH was wrong as I got the chicken egg rolls bun which was a dollar more than other items. I thought that it was because it said it came with shrimp. Sadly mine was missing the shrimp. Color me sad as I was looking forward to the shrimp and the egg rolls. BUT, these egg rolls were huge and the flavor was decent. They were not the smooth skin egg rolls, these were the bumpy egg roll skin which I was not expecting as I am used to the egg rolls having the smooth skin. Not a big deal though. The reason why I took off another star was that I found an onion skin in my dish. Color me sad as I was enjoying it until I found that onion skin as I was not sure what might've been on the skin vs the edible part of the onion. And since I have to be really careful with my health, I stopped eating it immediately as onion skin can have contact with dirt which would also have fertilizer in it that might carry things that are not good for me. -___-This was very disappointing as I was enjoying the dish even though I was missing the shrimp. So color me very very sad and disappointed. Now my most favorite thing was seeing that they had a deep fried pork loaf which I absolutely love!! I was so excited to get this dish and let me tell ya... This dish was sooooooo good!! LOVED IT!! yes imagine me drooling while having heart eyes. LolSo I most likely will pass on everything else but when I am craving pork loaf, I'll be ordering from here as that was delicious!"

KinKan

★★★★☆ 4.4 (116) • $$$$

"I recently dined at Kinkan near Silverlake for their Omakase lunch, and it was a memorable experience. Parking was a bit of a challenge in the area, but we eventually found street parking. We arrived a little early, and since the restaurant wasn't open yet, we waited outside with another couple.Once the doors opened, we were seated at the intimate counter, which only has about 10 seats. There are also tables that can seat around 20 people. Chef Nan was present throughout lunch, and she made the experience even better with her engaging and friendly demeanor.As for the food, everything was delicious and flowed beautifully from course to course. I was particularly surprised by how well the crab curry and shumai worked together--those ended up being my favorite dishes of the meal. The curry was unbelievably good!We decided to upgrade our Chirashi bowl by adding Uni, which was a fantastic decision. It was my first time watching a chef make one, and I was amazed at how much time and effort goes into creating such a complex bowl.For dessert, we couldn't resist trying both options on the menu that day. The mango sticky rice ice cream bar was definitely the star--so creative and full of flavor. The mochi waffle with ice cream, while enjoyable, didn't impress as much.Overall, I'm eager to return to Kinkan for dinner, and I wouldn't mind coming back for lunch either. The quality of the food and the thoughtful progression of the meal really stood out."

Siam Sunset

★★★★☆ 4.1 (329) • $

"Discovered Siam Sunset via an Eater article, and I'm very happy that I did! It was an excellent recommendation. We decided to get lunch takeout from here yesterday and it did not disappoint. We ordered a variety of dishes, and each was delicious and flavorful. I would definitely come back.The menu items I got to try included the Hainan Chicken, Roasted Duck Curry, Roasted Duck Noodle Soup, and Spicy Pork Basil. My favorites were the Hainan Chicken and Roasted Duck Curry. The restaurant itself was very busy when I arrived, which is a good sign. After trying the food, I know why!"

TOI On Sunset

★★★★☆ 3.7 • $$

"I would highly recommend this place! Super funky decor. And the staff are cool and nice. Great service! The green curry + brown rice is THE BEST! That rice is 1000 times yummier than the white rice. Is really flavorful and almost chewy. Def go to Toi if you're in the area!"

Talesai

★★★★☆ 4 (154) • $$

"Apple was our kind and informative server - The Hidden Treasures was definitely a favorite for all of us (Apple's fave) - and we all ordered curries, which were delicious. And the lychee martini is MAGIC! We will be returning to this quieting, yummy, delicious spot! Thanks Apple!"

Lacha Somtum

★★★★☆ 4.3 (390) • $$

"Lacha Somtum is a relaxed, modern authentic Thai restaurant offering a wide range of soups, noodle dishes, stir-fries & curries. They're located at the heart of LA's Thai Town. L.Somtum's flavor and northeastern styled food make them stand out compared to other nearby thai restaurant. I came here as a first time customer to grab a quick lunch. I was warmly greeted by a female staff. And I was seated fairly quickly. They have a plethora of food and drinks to choose from. After 5 mins or so of perusing their menu, I ended up ordering a Pad Woon Sen + Shrimps and Thai Iced Tea. Food was delightful, flavorful and fresh. Drink was well sweet. Indoor vibe was quite relaxing and plenty of natural light. Service was swift and on point. Staff were cordial and professional. Prices were fair and competitive. Street and metered parking available. Overall, I had a good dine-in experience and enjoyed their thai food. I recommend this restaurant."

Khun Dom Thai

★★★★☆ 4.2 (243) • $

"Um, yeah, actually F**k yeah. The pad se ew was on point, had the PAD SE EW chicken with fried tofu [the friend tofu is an add on, thank me later] padkrapow and pork Jerky. TAKE.ME.BACK!"

Noree Thai on Beverly

★★★★☆ 4.1 (286) • $$

"Parking is difficult to find in the area. There is street parking available; however, difficult to obtain. We were able to park in the neighborhood around 6:30 PM, but we did circle around for quite a long time till we found parking. The food portion is quite big and delicious. We got medium spice on all of our entrees. We had ordered drunken noodles with chicken, Tom Yum with combination seafood (fish, mussels, shrimp, etc.), and the roasted duck pineapple curry (comes with a side of white rice). All of these meals were delicious and served piping hot ! My favorite was the drunken noodles. The spice does have quite a hit and is very filling. The space itself is quite small, so if you have a party larger than 2 I would call in for a reservation. The service is wonderful. We will definitely be back!"

Rice Avenue

★★★★☆ 4.1 (407) • $$

"Have been eatting here for 20 years since it used to be My Thai. We definitely have our favorites such as the red curry, Tom ka kah, but I wish the chicken had more flavours, the protein lacks flavour and the texture is dry, instead I get everything veggie base and am happy. Cashew chicken though is definitely one of our favorites."

Rustic Spoon - Toluca Lake

★★★★☆ 4.3 • $$

"Foods were a total bomb! We'll definitely be back for more!Service was stellar. Ideal for a small group of friends."

Pad Thai Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.3 (177) • $$

"I've never thought to mix curry and udon before, but let me tell you, it is delicious! While mostly a take out place, you can eat in as well. I went in and my husband had the pad thai sukhothai with crispy pork which was really good as well. They also have pho and banh minhs as well. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes."

Tub Tim Siam

★★★★☆ 4 (218) • $$

"Yay, yay, yay! I love finding a hidden gem. My friends and I ended up here after a few drinks at the Drawing Room. The italian place had a line out the door and we were too hungry and a bit too tipsy to wait. We decided to try out Tub Tim Siam and it was DELICIOUS. All three plates ordered were gold. The server was lovely and kind with our loud party. Wine and beer available."

Thai Patio

★★★★☆ 3.5 • $$

"I've been coming to Thai Patio and Thai Town sister businesses here in the New Hollywood Plaza for a long time. It's one of my favorites for many reasons. Try the spicy seafood soup which features about fifty dollars worth of premium seafood. It is served in a flaming pot and it has cured quite a few colds for me and my friends. Five stars. Be adventurous and give the traditional Thai dishes a shot, like the wild boar. You can choose from numerous vegetarian and vegan options as nearly the entire four page menu can be made with fried or steamed tofu instead of meat. Thai Patio has been featuring local live musicians and late night eats for a long time. A true story about Thai Town USA and poem to follow. Skip to the end or bypass if that's not your thing. Come here for the great food, service and value. I started coming here in the late nineties when I was a teenager in a rock band. Back then, the Hollywood music scene was incredible but we didn't have Uber or Lyft to help us make it home safely. To help people in Hollywood get home safely, and reduce automotive fatalities, a few Thai restaurants in the area opened their doors after the bars and clubs closed. My band loved the lifesaving efforts from the Thai community and this restaurant, so we came here every day before rehearsal and recommended this restaurant to our fans to make sure they made it home. Once upon a time there was a handicapped and disabled person who failed a field sobriety test due to her handicaps. And though she passed a few blood alcohol tests, it was difficult to explain she was blind where her field test was given. She thought about cashing with a lawsuit in honor of disabled people but at the height of the pandemic there was something much more important. In honor of George Floyd, she collected signatures from criminals who took credit for their actions and asked to forward their support for better treatment to people of color and with disabilities in a signed letter to a judge. The white career criminals who turned themselves in for their actions in honor of a black man is my personal favorite part of that story. This seems like a beautiful place to leave a poem. A love story. A love story about making it home safely. Cheers Yelp! The best and only place to leave my favorite stories and poems!Peace and love to Thai Patio and Thai Town USA. Thanks for all you do for the community and to help us make it home safely. "LA LOVE SONG"She was from the big city, where the snakes learned how to shake hands.
