Best Tom Yum Soup & Pad Thai in LA! Great service & atmosphere, a must if you are looking for Thai food on Melrose. 😋
Absolute best Thai food in Los Angeles. Always my first meal when I come home from travel, and honestly, I don't know what I would do if they ever closed doors! There is not an item on the menu that isn't spectacular. Handles large orders with ease.
Hands down the best thai food I've had, period. The curry noodle soup is really special; like best thing I've ever tasted in my whole life special. The pad see ew & cashew nut dish are really good too.
