Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Food was delicious. Service was fast, not very friendly though. Made me feel like I was bothering them to ask for something. Parking can be difficult here sometimes."
"Came with a friend for the first time today and it was pouring outside. We started with the koo chai since it was something we’d never tried before. Those little rice cakes were so pillowy and the chives inside gave them a great fresh taste. She got the general soup and I got the roast duck soup; we could not have been happier. Everything was so flavorful and delicious I couldn’t stop eating even though I was STUFFED. The portions for the soups were massive so definitely recommend coming with friends to try as much as you can"
"I’ve been here quite a few times now. This restaurant was Michelin recommended. It’s a great place for late night eats. Most recently I had pad see ew and tofu with Chinese broccoli and both were exceptional! This restaurant has really really good Pad Thai. It's very tangy and sweet. The fried shrimp cakes are really good too. They come with a sweet and sour sauce. However the Crying Tiger isn't that great. It comes with a tangy sauce. It’s not a terribly cheap restaurant but the quality is there! Service was fast and friendly. This restaurant has a parking lot in front of it! That's a big plus in this part of Hollywood."
"Thai Town institution since the 90s. Been coming here for over 25yrs. On the whole it’s great!!! Today seemed off. The overall taste profile leaned too sweet. Hope they regain their status and keep consistent."
"Classic Thai Restaurant, and the food is always delicious! It was a reasonable price, with a nice portion and fresh ingredients. I asked for Mild, and they nicely accommodated my request. I can never get old with the roast duck in red curry, and we started with the duck salad, which has lots of flavorful nuts and herbs."
"Went right at opening during the weekday and parking was easy to get, the plaza seemed not set up but maybe because it was only the morning. But going in the food was amazing - I had the roasted duck curry which was surprisingly so good!! I want to come back for that and try the pad Thai next time. Their Thai iced tea comes in a large glass too and it was pretty good. The food is quality so 10/10 would come for the food! Everytime I drive by at night on the weekends it’s packed."
"The pad thai was serviceable but not memorable, the soup my partner got really pleased him."
"AMAZING! Plenty of Vegetarian options, had their Pad see ew with tofu and it was probably one of the most delicious plates I’ve had!!! You can get it with or without egg!!! Will have to come back again!"
