There is only one lady taking orders and serving with a smile.

My favorite dishes are papaya salad with crispy shrimp ($19.99), fried rice ($17 to $19), drunken noodles ($17), parang curry ($19). We finally tried the whole fish (about $37). The whole fish was coated with salt and grilled over charcoal. The skin is very crsipy but the meat is very moist. It is served with vermicelli rice noodles, wrapped with lettuces, mints, cilantro and dipped in fish sauces with crushed green Thai chilly. My mouth is watering just from writing! It's so good! This dish takes 25-30 min to prepare... so order it as soon as you sit down.We can't wait to come back!

The things we ordered were alright. Cute plating, clean interior, unique selection of entrees that differed from your typical thai restaurants. Sizeable portions. Food came out quick. There's outdoor seating for tables of 2. Ordered: Pad thai shrimp $16 - Tasty, but could use more spice. Thankfully there was an array of spices, dry chili flakes, and pickled chilis. best thing 7/10Yen ta fo $16 - acquired taste. Tart... interesting aftertaste. The broth wasn't mine or mom's favorite, but the large rice noodles and combination of ingredients was pretty good. Wouldn't get again, though I'm glad I tried it. 5/10Spicy curry catfish $18 - slight kick was nice but also slightly salty. Has bones, fun to nibble on. 6/10 Thai Tea $4 - not too sweet.Small White Rice $3Self parked for $6 on a Saturday afternoon around 4PM. Valet would have been $3 for 1.5 hours or so.

Thai Central Cuisine is a must-visit! The valet parking was super convenient. The service was good, the staff were friendly and attentive. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxing meal. The food was absolutely delicious! - The crispy pork with papaya salad was bursting with flavor- The noodles in the rich blood soup base were comforting and authentic- The fried rice was perfectly cooked. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving great Thai food!

Been here twice now and just love it. Everything comes out so darn fast and I haven't had one bad thing on the menu. You can walk in without a reservation. Steamed Lime Fish: amazing and so sour, get this if you love lime! Papaya Salad with Crispy Pork: their papaya salad is very good, got it hot. The pork on the side was crunchy, a perfect contrast to the salad. Crab fried rice: a staple, as expected. Drunken Noodle: good and spicy, another staple dish.

Bar raised. This place is very delicious and hits the spot. You can pretty much order anything and you will be happy foodie heaven

Thai Central Cuisine is the [relatively] new kid on the block! My friend and I pulled into this plaza, valeted the car (this lot is always valet) and were sat right away. No wait on a Saturday night was awesome, but the place quickly did fill up. It's newish...but it's popular!With such a huge array of items on menu, it was so hard to pick what to order. Trust when I say, I'll be back to try more. Might I also mention, their menu was very high quality! So fancy like a book quality!Before I digress anymore, on to what I ate on my first stop in...Thai Crab Cakes ($15) - I hadn't ever had these before but enjoyed thedeep fried, round crab and pork filled tofu skins. Liked this dish but unsure if I fifteen dollars liked it.Crispy Pork ($16) - My favorite of the dishes. I mean, it was crispy pork belly so it's hard to go wrong. However, they cooked it well and I liked dipping it in the sweet & sour sauce that came with the crab cakes. Stir Fried Thai Basil Over Rice ($14) - Tons of ground meat which we added, delicious taste and great balance throughout the dish.Service was friendly and very detail oriented. It was slow getting our check but other than that, perfect staff. It gives me old school Thai Town vibes but upgraded to more modern decor and service.I'm down with it all at Thai Central Cuisine and can't wait to try more!

Pretty good food overall! I appreciated the variety of their dishes, including some that are not typically seen in Thai restaurants in America. My boys played it safe with some pad see ewe and enjoyed it a bit. I thought it could have used a little more char on the noodles, but they liked it. They also got an order of moo ping, which was super tasty. We also got Thai som tum, which was pretty tasty and definitely freshly made. I tried the yentafo, and it had a good flavor, though I would have preferred a little more sour and a little less spice. The toppings were great, and I loved the blood cube - very hard to cook right. I like how they also give options for noodle sizes. I only got 1 shrimp in the bowl, which I found odd.Very friendly service. One of the servers looked mortified because she spilled water at me right before I paid the bill, but she was very gracious about the whole incident.

Our go to place for Thai food. Will drive to Hollywood just to have Thai food here even if there are a dozen other places closer to where we live.

DELICIOUS! This little Thai restaurant sits in a small shopping center with maybe 10 different Thai eateries. The parking lot was right in front and on a busy Saturday night the valet guys were busy. When you enter the outdoor center you will see one restaurant with 20-40 year olds lined up waiting 30 minutes to eat at an elbow to elbow restaurant. How's the food?...I don't know.But, we ate at Thai Central Cuisine. A typical Thai menu. And instead of a hip young crowd this place had some young folks and a mix of families. And as I do with any new Thai restaurant I go for the Panang Curry to compare against all the other places I've gone to. Thai Centrals was GReat!. They offer it in mild, medium or Hot. I usually get hot. But, tried the medium. The rice was an extra $3 but it's a must with curry. It was full of flavor and tasty. The beef was probably the most TENDER meat I've had at most restaurants.My wife had the DRUNKEN NOODLE with tofu and she devoured it! (Who are we kidding...she devours everything Ha!). There were no leftovers.Bathrooms were clean and the staff served us quick and with a smile. Oh and the noise level was average.(Apple Pay Accepted)I would come back.

This is an excellent spot if you're in the mood for rich, authentic thai cuisine. I loved the sour pork soup.
