50 Best Thai Restaurants near La Crescenta Montrose

“Let’s be clear, This Is A Nice Place. The food was “good” Nothing wrong at all.

I can’t say I was blown away by the food but it wasn’t bad either. I’d go back without a doubt but I’d also be willing to try somewhere else.

I’m a little torn because everything tased good,. the lady serving us was very nice. I thought the amount of food was a bit too little, just a bit.

I thought the price was a little bit high but what isn’t these days? Give it a try. I’d like to know what r else thinks…“

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

“Had a friend come back from Chiang Mai days ago still craving great Khao Soi. Was not disappointed! Owner helpfully directed to some great northern sausage and a pork and noodle dish that was delicious. Duck curry also delicious. Pick up some Singha at the liquor store around the corner and enjoy.“

“The taste is very strong“

“this little hole in the wall restaurant is such a gem! the food is so authentic and home-cooked for very good prices! staff is friendly and helpful. there is limited parking. overall, 5/5 stars!

pictured are khao soi gai (bottom) and rad nar pork (top)“

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

“The green noodles were very fresh and delicious, and the portion size was generous. The duck was incredibly tasty juicy, tender, and full of flavor. It also came in a large portion. The basil duck over rice was equally delicious and flavorful. The dishes felt very traditional Thai style, and they were served with fresh vegetables on the side. The sauce was excellent as well. The roasted duck is the best, everyone must come and try it!!“

“I'll give this place a ten star if I could; it's not your average hole in the wall joint! I tried the Spicy BBQ with shrimp fried rice and it was amazing! Even their Thai Tea was one of the best I've had in recent memories. The Shrimp fried rice had the perfect amount of fire taste: not too overpowering and not too subtle which was perfect. The amount was perfect as well: the thing was heavy for just one order. The Spicy BBQ also came with a dipping sauce that was very unique; it was citrous-y and fishy and it wasn't like anything I've tasted before which was amazing! For what it's worth, you can't go wrong with this place!“

“อาหารอร่อย บริการดีมากๆครับ 😇🙏🏻“

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

“I’ve been a fan of SAOHA since the days they were selling at the Thai street food market. It makes me really happy to see how SAOHA business has grown over time.

Most importantly, the food is absolutely delicious. I truly believe that anyone who visits this restaurant will be impressed by the atmosphere, the friendly service, and the amazing flavors.

Today I had the Khao Soi Tempura, and it was absolutely fantastic! 😋“

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

“My wife has the pad kee mao and I had the spicy crispy pork basil. Both were good, but not great.

At some Thai restaurants, the food all tastes the same and it doesn't really matter what you order. That certainly wasn't the case here. Both dishes were different and we enjoyed them. But they weren't spectacular. The flavors didn't pop and they weren't bright. I'm not sure what was missing, but something about them felt... Less than exciting.

I gave it 4 stars and would happily eat there again if I'm in the area. But it's not worth the drive from the intersection of the 10 & 57 freeways.“

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

“My Favorite Thai Restaurant. They serve authentic, freshly made Thai Food. Some of the entrees are not in a lot Of Thai Retairant like the Shrimp Paste Rice or the Stewed Leg Rice. Service is friendly and felt sincere. They also have premade Thai food that’s very authentic. This place is such an underrated hidden gem.“

“This is definitely my new favorite tai restaurant. I’ve been eating different places for a long time and thought my favorite was in the valley. Randomly decided to stop here and I am NEVER disappointed! Plus the lady pat is so nice and attentive , 6 “

“Love this place! Highly recommended :)“

“They have both inside and outside seating areas. Service is great.“

“Great service, tasty food, and amazing views. Good brunch spot.“

“Recommend for breakfast..“

“This little place is Best Thai food in Los Angeles. It’s a definitely a hidden gem. My wife and I just discovered this spot and we are loving it. We ordered chicken satay, vegetable rolls, basil fried shrimp and drunken noodles with shrimp. Everything delicious best and very fresh . They do have parking behind the restaurant. Owner name is Two and she is great she is also the Chef.
This is our go to spot for Thai food.“

“So delicious the thought of taking a picture didn't even cross my mind. They were open for New Year's and had kind and promp service. The chicken in the soups and curry is thinly sliced breast and had no fat or chewy parts, which is pretty nice.“

“Delicious and the service was great.“

“OMG this place is fire. Don't judge the restaurant by the exterior. It truly is a hole-in-the-wall, hidden gem. I was losing hope in LA restaurants (we're visiting from NorCal) but this was honestly the best Thai food I've ever had! We tried the Panang Curry with Tofu and the Drunken Noodles with Tofu. EXCELLENT VEGETARIAN OPTIONS!! Everything tasted homemade, authentic, and most of all, FRESH! I can't wait to return and try other dishes :)“

“อาหารอร่อยมาก น่าทานทุกอย่าง บริการดี“

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

“👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“This restaurant is popping! I came on a Saturday night and it was completely full with 4 parties ahead of me, but I was seated in around 35 minutes.
I ordered the mama pot and the flavor was rich, spicy, and deep. Sort of a tom yum taste but heavier and creamier. The Pad See Ew and Pad Thai were very flavorful as well. The mango sticky rice was sweet and tasty, and the papaya salad was crunchy just the way I like it.
A couple things to pick on: the crispy pork was really dry and I had to keep it submerged in the soup to soften it up. The service can also be hard to flag down due to how busy it gets, but that’s more a matter of suffering from success lol.
Overall 5 stars from me!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“Everything was Awesome! Great food and Atmosphere!“

“Tina, the owner, is an amazing person and great Thai chef. I dined in her cozy restaurant and we had a great conversation. I absolutely loved my Penang chicken curry over rice! It’s next to a famous boxing gym - all her favorite champions come by to eat after their workout. BYOB from the market next door“

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

“Everything was great especially the food. I often order pad see ew at the places I go. It was exceptionally good. The chicken meat was excellent and I will order it that way again. Today on my second visit I’m trying the special curry with the chicken. It smells great and I’m ready to dive in. Thai tea is also good. Not overly sweet and no bite. This is my new go to Thai place.“

“Tiny little place serving up food well above its weight class! Really good food! The chef even came out to personally ask us how the food was. So nice! Really interesting decor too! I'd come back with my date! But the place is tiny, so if there's no seating inside, and it's too hot or cold to eat outside, take it to go! The food is worth giving a new home in your belly!“

“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 best Thai food at the best prices in LA. They actually give a good portion here compared to most places around AND it tastes the best. They're also open late for us night owls. I love the curries here (the green and red are my favorite). I wish I could just eat curry and drink Thai iced tea EVERY day ^_^“

“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 !“

“My husband and I just had pineapple fried rice, pad thai, red curry salmon, and papaya salad. EVERYTHING was top notch and better than any other Thai restaurant we have ever been to, including Original Thai BBQ, which was our go to restaurant for almost 50 years!! Truly, a hidden gem!!“

“we order papaya salad hardyai chicken and pudkeemaw we like it all we will come back for sure.“

“The restaurant is very clean and the food is tasty. My favorite is fried tofu, I cannot find this menu from any restaurant. Food presentation is very simple but very tasty. I do recommend fried rice, it’s simple and difficult to cook. _/\_“

“Extremely fresh seafood!

We came here with the red dinning book 📕. Got two entrees and an appetizer for 2 people, koi soi, tiger prawn curry and raw scallops. The koi soi is actually a pasta, so it was quite a surprise to me, there is no soup in the dish. The curry in the tiger prawn dish is full with prawn roe sauce, very rich.

Everything tastes good and I would come back for the 2nd time for sure!“

“had my birthday dinner here, and it was a lovely experience! the staff was so accomodating and kind, and we really loved the patio seating with heaters that kept us warm even in the cold rainy weather. the atmosphere is quaint and the food is delicious. amazing portions for the price! we thoroughly enjoyed pad thai, pad see ew, tom yum soup, kimchi fried rice, and crying tiger (an amazingly tender, smoky steak served with sticky rice) along with a handful of appetizers like salmon wraps and fried tofu. everything was really yummy, and we had plenty of leftovers. 6 of us feasted for about $200, with tip included in that amount. I tipped extra at the end because the staff was so kind and patient with us, even though we were the last to leave after their closing time.“

“Great food and The people there are so nice!!! Love to support places like this!“

“The food here is pretty authentic for LA Thai food, and the waitresses are really nice. Also, everything came quickly from the kitchen. When you take into account that everything everywhere has gotten more expensive lately, I think the prices are pretty fair. They only take cash though so be prepared for that.“

“I am not vegan myself but the food here is really good. I always get the chicken Pho and the broth is savory and great. Tried mango sticky rice for the first time for desert and fell in love. It was really good. Definitely recommend to check this place out.“

“Delicious. Got the signature noodle soup, with pork, mild spice (add your own later), rice noodle. Not a huge fan of the liver but it was nice to try. Service was very attentive.

My only suggestion is to make some cheaper appetizers available. If you come to eat alone, you don’t have any options besides sharing-sized entree-priced apps“

“This place is a hole in the wall with amazing taste! We drove over from Eagle Rock and it was quick and easy. They have a parking lot so parking is available. Taste felt authentic and yummy 😋. Watch out for kick in soup 🔥!
Check them out!“

“This place is an absolute gem. Best thai food I've had in years. It may be the best Thai restaurant in LA in my humble opinion. Their green curry is as good as it gets. The eggplant in it was the best eggplant I've had in my life and I don't even like eggplants. I love eggplants now. Kad kee mao(?) is a tad bit spicy but nothing over the top. It's so flavorful and cooked to perfection. It's basically pad see yew on crack. Their crispy pork has the best balance between crispy and tender. I hesitated to leave this review because almost don't want this place to get too well-known so it doesn't get crowded but I also don't want them to ever go out of business. That would seriously break my heart.“

“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!“

“Best clubhouse and support group around. I love that they have a great homemade Thai food restaurant and wonderful people that work there, especially the men at the front desk.

Absolutely warm and loving place with tremendous support and meetings. 💕🤟
Go and find out !“
