Very good pad thai, nice texture. Dont get it with the shrimp it tastes weird, it's dried. Hit the spot for late night snacks, they close late at 12. Easy parking but $6.

Compared to a few years back this street food spot has gained a few more food stalls to neighbor it. There is now a bbq meet place, a salad and fresh foods place and a dessert one. I got three plates, one pad Thai, one pork fried rice and one of their new ground pork with egg dish. Pad Thai is good as always, fried rice was lacking flavor as before but they have seasoning for you to use. Their ground pork with egg was so good but holy crap it was spicy. It did have a good spice though I recommend it.

Legit one of the best spots to hit for some good radna and Thai ice tea! The consistency of the Thai ice tea definitely reminiscent of how Thai ice teas are made in Thailand (highly recommend). My go-to dish that never disappoints would be the crispy noodle radna. The plus side is they open late everyday and when I was to eat some good Thai food after hours, this is always the place that is open (except for when it rains too hard). There's also nearby vendors that are open on Saturday and Sunday that are worth trying as well.

Exciting to see that LA's Thai-town has an outdoor food stall just next to the big Silom Thai market. Apparently this former during COVID and they have not left. My partner and I saw this place on Instagram and decided to check it out. The people working here were really friendly. My basic ass decided on a pad see ewe at first buy then we ended up ordering the Kra Pao. I found the pad see ewe to be pretty good, but was disappointed that they can't adjust the spice level as they cook. The lady told me I could add it myself. That didn't feel all that authentic in my mind. Additionally, the portion size was pretty small for the cost. Was definitely still hungry after eating it. The Kara Pao on the other hand was delicious and the portion size bigger for sure. I think I'd come back to try other things, but would hope the sizing of the meals make sense considering the pricing. The is another stall next to this one that was pretty popular called Der Grill, and many people were ordering the hot pot style meals which seemed interesting.

Great authentic taste of the street stalls of Bangkok. The pad see ew is delicious, and the pork in the dish is tender and white peppery. The pad thai is also great, not overly sweet or wet, although the flavor of the tofu wasn't that great.

The 2024 Smorgasburg season kicked off today, 1/14/2024! While it is not close to me, I usually go at least once or twice a month. It's an ideal spot for outdoor dining with diverse culinary offerings, exploring distinctive shops, and soaking in a positive atmosphere. Smorgasburg LA is open every Sunday on the five-acre site of the weekday Alameda Produce Market in Downtown Los Angeles, which is part of a larger, new development called ROW DTLA. Each Sunday from 10 AM - 4 PM, you will find dozens of exciting food vendors plus sophisticated shopping from the realms of design, craft, style, vintage, wellness, and more. Cultural events, pop-ups, and other surprises transform the vast site into a new node in Downtown LA's burgeoning scene, and a unique destination for the area. Today, I tried Pad See Ew from the Radna Silom vendor. In terms of rating for that, I want to give it 4.5 stars due to price and portion ($15+tax and not much on the plate). I remember it being larger before. Overall, it is a must-check out for various foodie options. Tip: -Free 2 hr parking -Take your food outside of the main space and sit in the main ROW area -Go with others to try many things

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL YOU GORDOS OUT THERE!! This spot is bomb. Easy menu. $10 plates!!! My favorites are the pork fried rice and the pork pad see eww. The service is friendly and prompt. Although when it comes to food I do not like to pester the individuals preparing my food. Never a wise thing to do. They post up on the block next to the religious Thai statue ( I don't mean to offend anyone, I just don't know the official name of their deity). They are directly across the street from the Thai bbq restaurant. Chill environment. Al fresco if you will. They accept cash, Apple Pay and card. Bomb food for Netflix and chill, on a budget or you just love bomb Thai food. This spot is it!!!!!! I do recommend. As a matter of fact I was there last night 01/02/2024 and I have some for lunch at work. Thank you for reading my post. Peace!

I love this place but it's just so expensive for the portion you get..I could eat 3 orders and I'm 5'2 female. I went a lot at first but haven't been in so long bc I can't justify the price
I had very high expectations of this place since I saw it on an IG food post. First of all, I'd give it 4 stars for the authentic street food experience as there are tables and little plastic chairs set up on the sidewalk to eat like you are in Southeast Asia. There were essentially 4 stalls... 1st stall had Thai inspired desserts crepes/mango sticky rice. 2nd stall had an assortment of papaya/vermicelli cold seafood salads & grilled meat. 3rd stall (what I came for) was the Radna/pad Thai/pad-see-ew stir-fry dishes. And last stall had more fried dishes like fried chicken/ fried chicken skins/fried shrimp and such.I was utterly disappointed . Disclaimer: I don't eat beef nor pork. The Radna spot only had pork as an option. Sadly, I chose the pad Thai with tofu and small fried shrimps. I didn't care for the tofu, it seemed like it was marinated and pan fried. The after taste isn't very good. I think fried tofu would've been better. No other protein so dish was lacking. I ordered the bbq chicken plate there based on the suggestion of the girl up front. It missed the mark also. Presentation is great but flavor was lacking. We also ordered from the fried food stall and got some fried shrimp. Nothing spectacular. Tastes like popcorn shrimp. What was unexpected though was the seafood vermicelli salad. It was full of flavor and umami. This was the best dish of the night by far. And of course we had to end the night with mango/sticky rice. That was also okay. Like I said, my experience is only based off of what I ordered. I would've loved to try the wok fried noodle dishes like rad na or even pad kra pao. I only wished they offered other protein choices. As for service, they were very friendly. When you order you get a pager and once it goes off, you can proceed to pick up your food. Sometimes they'll even bring it to your table if you ordered to eat there. Atmosphere was cool... because of the music, the smell of the food being cooked and pleasant weather at night made it a unique experience if you've never tried it before.

Looking for the best sidewalk That food in town? This is it. But it's also among the very best tasting Thai food around, whether on the sidewalk or at a regular restaurant.Everything is really well flavored, but the Pad Kapow stir-fried ground pork and basil bowl is not to be missed. Haven't had this at any other restaurants, which is a shame, because it's just that good.

This place is so awesome -- just like being on the streets of Bangkok here in LA. Portions are on the small side, but hey, I say helps with portion control. I used to drive by the spot all the time but a few months back decided to stop and had their grilled chicken bowl. It was fantastic and the perfect late night meal after I did a moonlight hike through Griffith (which was so amazing and creepy all at once!).I've come back a few more times and everything is spot on. Order the fresh coconut and drink the coconut water, paired with any of their noodle dishes. Then grab one of the sidewalk tables.You'll likely see the craziness of LA pass you by, but the whole energy is fun and festive. I haven't had a bad meal here and can't wait to come back!
