Torung Restaurant

I love Torung!!! They're my go to beside Full Moon House. I've had many of their Asian dishes such as their pad Thai and cashew chicken. None of their dishes have been a disappointment as they're all super flavorful and generous portions. All of their dishes are made fresh to order and are protein packed. I can't wait to try Torung in person as I am sure it will taste even better at their restaurant!!!

Though there's an inconvenience of this place being CASH ONLY and opening late; I would come often for takeout and very often dine in because the food was decent and price was cheap.However, the food quality has been going down and after my experience of dining in, I will not be coming back. Customer service does not exist here and that is just sad.

We visited Torung Restaurant in Thai Town late on a Friday night, and it was just what we needed. The place was busy, but the service was friendly and quick, which made for a welcoming experience. The seating consists of nice booths that feel like a throwback to the 80s--definitely retro, but super comfortable, which added to the charm.The menu is large and the food is very competitively priced, which is a big plus. We decided on the Napa Cabbage Soup with ground pork and mushrooms, and the Larb with ground chicken. The soup was clean, warm, and comforting--perfect for a chilly late-night bite. The Larb had a nice kick to it, with just the right level of spice, though the meat was a bit on the drier side.Overall, Torung is a great spot to hit after a night out. It's got a vibrant, friendly atmosphere and is very affordable (just remember it's cash only). Whether you're in the mood for some comfort food or a bit of spice, it's definitely worth a visit!

Over the past couple of years, I have visited this establishment multiple times, and the food has consistently been delicious. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. Our order consisted of the Yum soup, fish cakes, and pad Thai. One drawback was the parking, which was somewhat difficult, requiring us to park a few blocks away.

We were spme of the only ones in here. It's a hole in the wall Thai Food Spot which is great and lowkey. We were sat down immediately and given drinks within 4 minutes. The Pad Kee Mow medium spicy was pretty good. It did need more meat though. My favorite dish was the Satay. Such good chicken with great maranade. I give this place 4 stars because the tip was included in our check but we weren't told.

Is it the best Thai food you ever had?Probably not but they have a wide variety of dishes at a good price point. Service is fast and they definitely try hurry up the small parties of one or two. Large groups don't seem to get the bums rush. But I don't care I like to get in and get out. Green curry, Tom Ka and Pad see ew are my faves. I've never had anything bad and I always try to get a dish I've never had. Again prices are fair and this place is convenient to me. Would recommend if your nearby

This review is well overdue -- I adore Torung!I first dined late at night after an event at The Poetry Lounge in 2018!! The interior is unpretentious and comfortable. And the outdated decorations definitely add to the unique charm of the restaurant.The service is swift with no frills. The food is so yummy too! What you're getting for the price is insane. They are SO affordable. $8 for a curry? In 2024? in LA? And it tastes good? Sounds like a win to me! We always order the yellow curry with chicken, crab fried rice (gotta try!), a noodle dish, and crispy chicken wontons. Also to note, the food comes out SO FAST. I unintentionally timed it once and it took like 4 mins lolSome of the cons, that I don't think are worth dinging the rating or not coming at all, include the establishment being cash only -- kinda inconvenient but whatever. Also, my usual go-to dish, drunken noodles, is not very good here. I skip it and get other things. Lastly, when you ask for hot, it's never really thaaat hot so I'll add some of the sauces and chilis. For what they charge, you should be getting a wonderful experience. My other fave Thai spot up the street is good too, but so damn pricey, almost double per dish. So I'm more than happy to dine at Torung on any given night.

Torung, in my opinion was never considered authentic Thai food-wise in Thai Town and my most recent trip really reinforced that opinion. We frequented a few nights ago for dinner and I don't know what happened, but the food was terrible. Perhaps it was what we ordered or perhaps it was just an off night, but the dishes were all overcooked. The meat in the pad thai was so chewy that it was inedible. The rice dishes were incredibly oily and lacked any seasoning. Now, that would be okay if their goal was for you to use "their" hot sauces, but their hot sauces are off the shelf. Also, we were there fairly early for Thai Town and the service was terrible. We weren't provided any place settings or even greeted upon arrival. The took our orders and the food came sporadically and really kind of forgot about us. It left a real sour taste in my mouth. So much so that I will be spending my money elsewhere. In fact, the one redeeming value of this establishment was it's ambiance, but even that has gone by the wayside. I'm not sure what others are seeing here for their 5 star reviews, but what I've experience is not anywhere near 5 stars. Also, quick reminder this is a cash only establishment.

The food is delicious ... the parking sucks but it's worth the time looking ... and the place is clean and service is prompt !!!

Rude old lady , bad to guts to ask if we left a tip . When she only came by to write down the order and for the check . Oh and I found a piece of hair on my food , they don't wear hairnets. Would leave a 0 star but I am unable to
