50 Best Thai Restaurants near Sun Valley

“Always reliably good food. I recommend sticking to the Thai classics. They have been incorporating some of the favorites from their Thai language menu into the main menu and these are some of the more interesting items, dishes you may not find at the other Thai places in Sun Valley (or Burbank for that matter).“

“Best thai food love coming here“

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

“The taste is very strong“

“I was staying across the street at an awful motel and the food here made me feel better about it. Went here twice during my short trip. We have Thai food back home but not like this! Service is kind, food is fast. Prices are reasonable. Next time in Hollywood I will be back.“

“Pailin Thai Cuisine was the first place we had dinner when we arrived in LA in August 2024. It is some of the best Thai food we have ever had. The dishes are kept simple (as they should be) and at the same time the flavor combination is fantastic. Only five stars and a huge recommendation from here. In addition, the price is more than fair - it is the cheapest (but the best) meal we have had so far on our tour of California.“

“Food was good. The chicken wings were crispy and fresh. Noodles and broth tasted very well and good seasoned. The staff were all amazing and accommodating. My grandmother was not feeling well, and one of the staff gave her medicine making her feel better. Overall 10/10; have to go for authentic Thai food.“

“Bro.. just moved to the area early this year, my partner and I decided to find a lunch spot close by. Looked at reviews and decided to give this spot a try. WHAT?! Hidden gem!! The service- server was super friendly, helpful, and super quick!, Thai tea slapped! (Must get), zap wings - I do think need a sauce so we are taking home to create our own, fried chicken (GET THIS! Moist, but crunchy and soooo yummy, papaya salad(my partner said in her 33 years on earth this is the #2 all time best papaya salad she’s ever had(#1 is her moms), mango sticky rice was perfect- will be coming back for JUST this sometimes 😂
Oh yea I got yellow chicken curry to go so I’ll report later how that is 😂

You must MUST try this place.
It’s very small only 4 tables inside, so it was perfect daytime lunch date spot. Shit my partner and I were talking about which coworkers we were bringing here next 😂

Super clean inside. Seems like a lot of afternoon parking in the lot it’s in, not sure about night.

Hope this review helped you decide to try this spot cause HOT DAMN that was fire 🔥

Our bill was a lot but we got a bunch of stuff to try lol if you only buy one or two things it’s easily cheap“

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

“Really good Lao food. First time at this Lao restaurant. My new favorite place 😍“

“When I went there because it was recommended to me, it was so crowded that I couldn't eat inside.

I tried to make a reservation through Google in advance, but I was unable to make a reservation due to a mysterious error.

I couldn't give up and ordered takeout.

There aren't many items on the takeout menu, but it's by far the most delicious Thai food I've ever eaten.

I've eaten Thai food in many countries, but even take-out food is so delicious that next time I'll definitely eat it freshly prepared at the restaurant.“

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

“Kinkan feels like a love letter to flavor. We came to celebrate a friend’s birthday and left feeling nourished in every way. Each dish was beautifully crafted, delicate yet bold. Perfect for a quiet celebration, a romantic date, or a night to remember. A true neighborhood treasure.“

“Clean area food are delicious. Specially I love the mango sticky rice“

“i’ve been coming here for years, and the food is consistently amazing. a seriously underrated thai restaurant. Natty who runs this place always remembers her customers and asks how you’re doing. the food is so flavorful. a perfect blend of spicy and sour. my favorites are the northern sausage, northern larb, and jackfruit salad, but you can’t go wrong here. please come support this place!“

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

“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“

“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 !“

“Very delicious. Recommend to go here! ;)“

“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.“

“I was looking for a quick lunch while I was out walking my dogs. I was craving Thai food and stumbled upon this place with a few small tables outside. The staff were really friendly and even brought water out for the pets. The menu is extensive and I appreciated the photos of each dish because it helped me order new items I haven’t tried. The food came out quickly and was really good. I recommend!

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options and clearly labeled dishes

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options on the menu and made to order noodles

Parking: There’s a valet that’s $3 for 90 minutes but there’s also free 1-hour street parking nearby

Kid-friendliness: Would recommend - extensive menu

Wheelchair accessibility: All one level“

“There should be a line around the block to get into this place. The braised pork belly fried rice is amazing. We ordered veggie rolls, shrimp rolls, and braised pork belly fried rice. All delicious. Very reasonable prices. There is a little something extra spice wise in the fried rice. I can't quite identify the spice, but it makes all the difference. It's possibly the best pork belly I've had from a restaurant“

“Good little spot for thai food! Nice ambience, friendly staff, and good food. My firend liked the chili glaze fish and I got the crab fried rice that was yummy. Steamed dumplings were average. My other friends got green beef curry and beef krapow. Both also enjoyed their meals. Would recommend!“

“Big portions, excellent prices, and authentic fare“

“Literally everything Sai makes is delicious. Her food truck is a neighborhood staple and she does catering as well. The best Thai Food Restaurant I have been to by far. Sai has a ton of regulars for a reason and it's because her food is amazing and she's super sweet.
I would visit every day if I could ❤️“

“Tub Tim Siam on Hillhurst is a small, family-owned Thai restaurant with a lot of heart. It’s run by a really sweet older lady who takes care of everything herself, so the service is very slow — but worth the wait if you’re not in a rush. The food was really good, with the Pad Thai being a highlight. The mango sticky rice was absolutely amazing, probably one of the best I’ve had. We also got coconut water, which was super fresh and refreshing. A cozy little spot with a homey feel — just be prepared to be patient!“

“I am so excited I discovered this place and am excited to try more dishes! I got the papaya salad and sticky rice for lunch the other day and it was super fresh and authentic. Spicy in all the right ways! The woman taking my order was super friendly and appreciative of my business I will definitely be returning!“

“Delicious and the service was great.“

“Came here yesterday for the first time after visiting the Thai market across the street. We had a beef noodle soup and a Thai curry pizza, they were both really great! I think I'll like their marinara sauce pizza more because the onions were a looooot for me. But if you love onions, this is the place!!!The pizza dough and crust was just ? great. Soft, pillowy. Definitely recommended.The beef noodle soup was great too!!! The perfect touch of sweetness and spiciness. Super flavorful. And the folks here were super welcoming and nice! Would definitely recommend this joint!“

“I've been coming to Pan Tang for close to 30 years. The food is consistently fabulous, with the Thai iced tea, chicken satay (with amazing peanut sauce) and the shrimp pineapple fried rice being my favorites. The family that has owned this place is so kind and wonderful. Best Thai good in town. Even used it for my wedding rehearsal.“

“The best pad Thai I’ve ever had. I drive 30 miles just to have it“

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

“Swung by this little ol establishment with 3 others on a blistering Sunday afternoon and what a surprise Thai Victory was! I now understand why TV has received the voluminous amount of 5 stars. Coming from Thai Town, TV can really be ranked amongst the gr10s.

Inside - 4/5
Very cozy and intimate with only a handful of tables. Bunch of Thai decor around the restaurant. And of course a random TV and hanging Xbox hah.

Service - 5/5
This sm0l establishment is run by the nicest (I assume) couple. They checked on us often and offered recommendations for the different dishes (e.g., spice, rice vs noodles). They also gave us a couple Thai tea's on the house! Very refreshing during this heat wave.

Food - 5/5
Now I'll be honest with the non-lunch special value of at least ~$14-17 a plate, I was worried that we would not have enough food and/or they quality would not be great. Alas, I was gratefully mistaken. This day we got Chicken Pad Thai, fried Eggplant, Roasted Duck Basil and Garlic Basil Tofu. Each dish was made with fresh ingredients, wasn't overly cooked or oily and was filling. Much like I said above, TV could stand on it's own Thai Town. But, why compete with so many other restaurants when you can capitalize in NOHO? My personal favorite dish was the roasted duck. The duck was crispy and was on a bed of Chinese broccoli. All dishes were distinct, but complimentary. Also we had some Thai coffees and man did it wake us up (and also sent us to the bathroom hah).

TL;DR
Overall 5/5
- Sm0l cozy hole in the wall with a handful of tables
- Small lot, plus plenty of street parking
- Lunch specials will be your best deal
- GR10 service
- Recommend Thai coffee, Thai Tea, Pad Thai, Eggplant, Roasted Duck Basil, and Garlic Basil Tofu

“Everything was Awesome! Great food and Atmosphere!“

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

“Great customer service. The food was top notch. Wicked good Thai food in a low key spot. Our server was so helpful and kind. We loved it. Pad see ew, dumplings, and the duck were delicious. The mango sticky rice was a nice finish for dessert. The owner treated us to a Thai iced tea because it was their new year. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing place, awesome music and great food, love it!!“

“Full Flavor - No Frills

Hole in the wall spot with fresh favors and generous portions and decent prices.

We loved the duck pad see eu and the off menu fish curry. And the cup of soup was a huge meal sized portion.

As we packed up our food to go we were offered extra curry sauce: 10 stars!

My boyfriend likes his food spicy. He ordered the cup of soup and the fish curry spicy and they were both hot enough for him. Huge win. We will be back. And they are open until midnight.“

“The best noodle restaurant in The Valley, so taste, fresh, healthy and friendly service!����“

“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. _/\_“

“We stumbled upon an absolute gem upon our recent visit to Hollywood. Our waitress was very kind and seemed pleased that we were going to enjoy lunch in her restaurant. We ordered the radish cakes and basil pork with rice. Both dishes were phenomenal, well-seasoned, fresh, and appropriate portions. Would highly recommend this establishment to anyone! Be sure to bring cash, as this is a cash-only restaurant as of the time I wrote this review. 10/10“
