Thai staples are great. Chicken in their pho is dry, but that's the norm for most places that don't specialize in the dish. Their coconut cake had me coming back, but when my sister special-ordered it for Thanksgiving, they pre-sliced it and gave several pieces to other customers. It was a shocking sight to see, but made for some laughs and memories.

Nice ambiance, I got the vegan/veggie pho and enjoyed it very much with the hoisin sauce. Came here with friends on a Friday evening, not too crowded, would recommend

Great neighborhood spot, with excellent food and a relaxing, clean environment. I'll go any day of the week. Friendly, accommodating service too!

Came here during a weekday around lunch time. Service was quick and kind. I had the khao soi and it hit the spot. Broth was flavorful and it had the right amount of noodles and meat. Lots of steady foot traffic from people that seemed to me on their lunch breaks so you know it's a good spot. Check it out for some good Thai food!

Elite Thai food. I’m so impressed, some of the best in LA. Fresh flavors, friendly staff, good portions. Takes a lot to impress me and this blew me away

We randomly found this gem when we were around the area and the food exceed my expectations that I need to come here to write a review for it right away! The ingredients taste so fresh ~ not like it's frozen for a long time or produced in a big batch. The veggie, the meat, the soup, the egg noodle, the taro, the sauce...I just find it rare to have a meal this fresh! And delicious ~ Service is great and the artwork in the store is refreshing I'd definitely come back here to try the rest of the menu!

Very expensive for the amount of food they give you. The Veggie pho($15) we ordered isn't even pho anymore- so stingy they can't even give enough broth to make it a SOUP. This is the first time in my life I ordered a soup and I didn't get one- especially when broth is easier and cheaper to make. I was looking for pho but I ended up getting a mushy mess of vegetables instead for dinner. They also didn't even add enough noodles. On top of it, $3 for a small box of rice. Which funnily enough I thought I could use the rice to eat with broth so it was altogether a waste of money.I also ended up finding a piece of meat in a VEGGIE pho, so if you're vegetarian they clearly don't have respect with leaving meat out of your food!

The very best. Highly recommend for a lunch/dinner date. Come here if you're tired of all the watered-down flavorless "Thai" food commonly found in LA. Wat Dong Moon Lek gon' bring dat flavor.

sadly has declined in quality. It used to be so good. prices are getting high and portions are smaller.
This spot boasts a diverse menu with a predominantly Thai focus, but they also throw in some Vietnamese flair with dishes like Pho and lemongrass chicken. For vegetarians, there's a solid selection available, and vegans, they might be able to tweak some dishes for you--just watch out for the fish sauce. Now, onto the favorites: Steamed Fish with Chili Dipping Sauce, Crispy Green Beans, Tofu Fries, Papaya Salad, Vermicelli Curry Noodles, and Crab Fried Rice. I've pretty much explored the entire menu on my visits, more so than the typical Thai joints in the area, which goes to show their range. While they might not stick strictly to tradition, the food here is authentic and downright delicious!

Fun noodle spot. The pho here is good, nice decor, friendly staff. You have to try their slushies they make them fresh to order with fresh fruit!

Can never go wrong going to Wat Dong. The food is amazing, service so sweet and food is out within the ten minutes since you ordered. Srsly just go

I've been here twice with excellent service and food experience! I'm a huge pad Thai fan when it comes to Thai food, it's just my go-to, and they have one of my favorites for sure. They even have these fruit slushies that are delicious. What a fun time truly! The ambiance is also very chill and friendly, tucked inside the plaza behind Akbar.

This is my favorite Thai place in LA. The kow soi noodle is amazing. Other favorites are the lemongrass chicken and papaya salad. The beef noodle soup is amazing too.
