We would definitely visit again!“

“🐅🐅🐅🐅 yum yummy.. crying tiger so good“

“Be aware you need to buy rice on the side and they don’t warn you.

Light 8/10 Gaeng haeng Kai northern pork curry was smoky and flavorful. Tam paste sourness balances it out.
5/10 sausage. You’re getting big dry chunks of herbs or something in it.

6-7/10 Khoi Soi. I only had a tiny bite. Couldn’t tell“

“Excellent service! The food is good especially the deep fried soft shell crabs!“

“Truly authentic Thai food! Like being in Thailand 😋🌶🌶🌶“

“Absolute 5 star restaurant and 5 star experience.

I decided to post a review after reading Chelsea’s ridiculously unfair review. I completely disagree with her negative attitude. This place is wonderful and the staff are fantastic. I also appreciated the owner’s response explaining the soft opening and the permitting process for alcoholic beverages.

Happy to have this local business in Silverlake. Welcome and good luck.“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“love is place especially the salads very nice the waitress is very nice delicious yummy food“

“T’was our first time eating here but we were not disappointed to have late lunch & early dinner yesterday. Looking for an authentic duck, grab it here! Their noodles, beef fried rice and pork chop were all very delicious! Oh yeah, don’t forget ordering the Thai tea! It’s a 10/10!👏“

“อาหารอร่อย บริการดีมากๆครับ 😇🙏🏻“

“feedback regarding my recent visit to your Gardena location on Father's Day. I traveled all the way from Orange County specifically to try your mango sticky rice.

While I found the mango sticky rice to be good, I felt the price was a bit higher than other places I have visited, and I likely wouldn't make the long drive solely for that dish again. On a positive note, I really enjoyed the coconut jellies; the flavor was great and the size was satisfying, though I believe the pricing for those could also be improved.

Thank you for the meal and for taking the time to read my feedback.“

“Boat noodle & minced garlic 🐔 over rice were exceptionally tasty. If you are looking for authentic Thai food this is the place to come go. It’s a small parking lot with few parking but there are plenty of street parking. Come one come all and bring your empty tummy to be filled here.“

“The food is very amazing! The drunken noodles were delicious and very tasty! Also the ambience is really nice and peaceful, I always either DoorDash or eat here, the food gives me nostalgia as a little kid when I would go eat Thai food on special occasions during my childhood years☺! I recommend this place 100%“

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

“I knew I liked Thai food but not THIS much! Food here is fantastic, portions are generous and service is quick. My favorite was definitely the northern Thai egg noodle. The flavors are fantastic and left me wanting more. I’ll have to come back to try other dishes. Definitely recommend!“

“We really enjoyed every dish we ordered. The food was delicious and had an authentic, traditional Thai flavor. The restaurant was also very accommodating and happy to adjust the dishes to suit our preferences. The service was excellent, and the staff were warm and friendly. They gave us honest recommendations on what to order, which we really appreciated. The prices were also very reasonable. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience.“

“Loved the food, great experience and atmosphere“

“Good food good service nice to smile“

“best Thai food I've ever had and I have lived in Thailand“

“Delicious and the service was great.“

“Pad See Ew is delicious! 🤤 their Thai tea is great too!!!“

“Great place....spicy beef salad and mango sticky rice are awesome.“

“I have passed by and I got curious, I ordered through uber eats and their pork got me hooked!!! Now I go here to eat in their restaurant. It is a little bit small so on a busy Saturday lunch you might wait in line, their parking is by Dixie hotel, please make sure to ask the servers a copy of what you need to put in your car so you don't get towed.“

“The grilled pork collar, the khao kha moo, is the dish that most regulars gravitate toward first, slow-cooked pork leg over rice with a dark, sweet braising sauce and a soft egg alongside, the kind of composed plate that operates at the intersection of comfort food and actual cooking. The fried pork skin served with a larb dipping sauce is the snack that arrived at the table first and was gone faster than anything else, the skin light and airy and the larb funky and herbaceous and the kind of thing that makes you understand why certain foods become obsessions. The pad see ew is the noodle dish most people know and want, and the version here is properly wok-charred with good smokiness in the flat rice noodles and a soy-egg combination that's been executed well rather than just thrown together. The papaya salad has a heat level that earns its reputation, bright and tart and genuinely spicy in a way that doesn't ease up. The mango sticky rice at the end is generous and properly made, the coconut milk soaked deep into the rice and the mango sweet and ripe in a way that seasonal sourcing makes possible.
The wine program here is notably good for a casual Thai restaurant, which is part of what makes the whole experience feel more considered than the room might suggest.“

“อาหารอร่อยมาก น่าทานทุกอย่าง บริการดี“

“😃I like the way they cook all family members working real Thai Food cook by Thai people“

“If you want authentic Thai food that is the style of Bangkok, this is the place. Khao Soi and Boat Noodle are specialty dishes and not always on the menu in your local Thai restaurant but this place has the best I've tasted. Very clean and reasonably priced, Boran is right at the beginning of Thai town here in Hollywood, give it a try... you will love it !“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“the food is good. the only complaint is they pack alot of people in a small area.“

“I came here on a rainy afternoon with no expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted so warmly. And then the food came.

You know that scene in Ratatouille at the end of the movie when the big food critic takes a bite and gets that flashback to his childhood? That warm, comforted, happy feeling? That’s exactly how this food made me feel.

It was hands down the best Thai food I’ve ever had in my life. Every bite tasted like real family, home-cooked love not just restaurant food.

The service was incredible. The woman there packed up my leftovers for me (something even a lot of “nice” restaurants don’t do), opened the door when I left, and even offered to let me borrow an umbrella because it was still raining.

If you want authentic, family-style Thai food that makes you feel something, this is the spot.

100/10 experience.“

“Love this place! Highly recommended :)“

“We spent a long weekend in Pasadena and at first chose this Thai place because it was just 5min walking from our rental cottage. They greeted us so friendly and accommodated our requests for items on the side. Then, the next day we came back here because everything was so flavorful! My husband had the crispy sole fish special and I enjoyed the glass noodles with shrimp. Exquisite!
We highly recommend!“

“Great and delicious Pad Thaï! Was fresh and traditional! 💯 I have ordered half shrimp/half chicken. Big portion and leftover. The service was professional and pretty quick. Nice staff. Cute clean warm and welcoming place. Thank you! I highly recommend this restaurant. 👍“

“Best Thai food, Very good service, and clean dining place“

“Tastes absolutely delicious and exactly the same as it did 30 years ago! Teriyaki chicken, order the #1 and you'll be happy!“

“Delicious food. chicken wings, drunken noodles and Thai Coffee!!!“

“The atmosphere and Sid the owner so friendly and makes you feel so welcome ...awesome food and love the Thai ice tea“

“Rice Street Food was really tasty - everything was excellent! We had the sausage, egg rolls, and wings for appetizers, and for mains we had the Ancient Lad Thai Seafood, pineapple fried rice, and my son had the teriyaki chicken bowl. We finished with mango sticky rice for dessert. Everything hit the spot perfectly.

Only small thing was the owner took my cup for a water refill and never came back - we joked with him about it after. Wasn't a big deal at all, we just walked to the cooler and grabbed a soda lol. Will definitely be back!“

“A really wonderful dining experience! The food is so creative while maintaining integrity to both Thai and Japanese cuisines. It was really fun to be all seated at the bar for the Autumn kaiseki menu. The sommelier was so fun and friendly and recommended not only incredible wines, but bonus sake tastings well. it's the kind of place that does a fixed menu, but you wanna keep going back because it rotates and everyone's so friendly a perfect blend of upscale and Neighbourhood vibe..“

“i love this place! the food is amazing! i have taken a few of my friends and all say the same! The food is amazing!! my favorites are tofu fried rice, red curry, the pad thai and sticky rice with mango!! The menu is incredible, lots to choose from. and the staff is super friendly. I highly recommend this place!“

“Time for Thai! Just south of Old Town, Kwan Kitchen is a local gem. Quality ingredients, friendly & attentive service, something for everyone on the menu. Pineapple fried rice is not on the menu but they made it for us. Delicious! Small to medium size dining room; reservations recommended; casual vibe; moderate noise level; can get very busy; very popular especially among students from Cal Tech, ArtCenter, Fuller, etc. Limited free parking lot; moderately priced; good value; takeout order if too crowded; more individual dishes rather than family style; come hungry. Support your local small businesses & restaurants.“

“my go to Thai place in LA“

“Amazing food here! We had the Coconut Chicken Soup. The bowl is huge and the flavor is deep. Also got The Pad See Ew which was really good. The Chicken Eggrolls are so good too. Service was great. The food came out quick. Parking is tight but we found a spot. Highly recommend this place!“

“Best Thai Restaurant in LA! The owner Jamie is so sweet and she even has her own drink on the menu! When you go you must get the Jamie Juice!!😍😍😍🍹“

“Superb Thai food. I loveeeeeee coming here. 🙂 The host (Nick) always greets me with a huge smile and I thoroughly vouch for the customer service. I’ve been coming here for 8 years. I enjoy the Pad Thai and the green curry. I got a special treat for my birthday. They are like family. This restaurant is awesome. The flavors remind me of my travels to Bangkok in 2019. Authentic flavors and even better hospitality. This is why Hae Ha Heng deserves a 10 starts out of 5 stars. Outstanding!!!!!!“

“Major craving satisfied!
Preordered online and swung by for a quick pickup, street parking right outside made it ridiculously easy. Honestly one of my absolute favorite Thai spots in LA! The portions are HUGE, and that Thai milk tea... A TOTAL MUST-TRY. 🧋💥“

“Amazing food! Nice service and friendly owner!“

“amazingly delicious.....the best Thai food ever.....you need to try the lettuce raps“

“The bakery here is amazing - immean its all amazing but the bakery is top tier 😍 they got thai tea custard, pandem baked goodies, mango sticky rice, coconut cake (i think thats what its called), and TONS more. I usually park in the neighborhood just south of here; the parking lot is valet only (or most of the time it is)“

“Best Fried Rice and Pad See Ew in Arcadia and surroundings. My family and I, love this place because of the great flavor, the quality, size portions and the prices. Great after a bussy day, just order in and take it home to enjoy with the family. The staff is very nice, it looks like a family own restaurant. I strongly recommend it, we need to support our local small business and this is a defenetly must try.“
