50 Best Thai Restaurants near Valley Village

“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“

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

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

“good food for sure. try the coconut shrimp. the service was great“

“My husband and I absolutely love this place! The service is excellent, and the food is consistently fresh and delicious. I have a severe gluten allergy, and they go above and beyond to make even noodle dishes gluten free. They are very safe and careful with cross contamination & it always tastes amazing!!!“

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

“Farmhouse kitchen is the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever had. On top of the food being great and delicious, the presentation makes you want to order everything from the menu. Chef Bo was so nice to come out to our table and all I can say is she was a very nice, young & talented person. She even made me a special dessert for my birthday. Thanks Bo❤️ I highly recommend this place if you want an authentic, excellent and delicious food. In addition, the place is so full of life. The decor is amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the fancy drinks and dishes on the menu.“

“The taste is very strong“

“So yummy it was best food I have had I like it a lot and they are open late which is rlly good for me since I am a late night owl and I stay up later especially when there’s delicious Thai Food from Sticky Rice which is always a huge plus for me when it is late and I am hungry which is not now but could be later.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Hi-nan rice is the reason I stop by there almost every chance I have on my way home. The staff are friendly and can wa irk their magic in the grill.“

“Just landed in LA from Seattle and found this place as we were searching for a spot to grab food. The atmosphere is great. They use tablets with great photos of all the food. On the tablets you’re able to order all your food and send it directly to the kitchen to be prepared. The food came out quickly and HOT! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area. Be ready for great service and even better food!“

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

“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 “

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

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

“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.“

“Test its by yourself.clean foods and good service“

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

“my go to Thai place in LA“

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

“Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — Hae Ha Heng Thai Bistro nails it with both their Pad Thai and Papaya Salad.

The Pad Thai is perfectly stir-fried with tender chicken, chewy rice noodles, and a rich, balanced sauce. Topped with crisp bean sprouts, shredded carrots, and a lime wedge for a fresh kick.

The Papaya Salad is a vibrant mix of crunchy veggies, peanuts, shrimp, and that signature Thai tangy-spicy flavor. Super refreshing and visually stunning!

Both dishes are a delicious blend of tradition and presentation. Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

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

“Ordered some take out yesterday and can't stop thinking about how good it was! I got their Pad Thai, it was standard and delicious. The service was quick and friendly! Walking into the restaurant to pick up my food showed they have a fun and authentic ambiance as well! I will be ordering from here again!“

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

“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“

“Everything that I oder was tested good. And nice servers.“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

“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 !“

“This is a local restaurant.They have been opened more than 12 years.This restaurant is tuck in a corner of the small strip mall. Give them a try.“

“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“

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“Delicious and the service was great.“

“Big portions, excellent prices, and authentic fare“

“Absolutely delicious! The crab fried rice had a generous portion of real snow crab. I added shrimp to mine for an extra charge.

The Wings of Angel were exceptional. The batter nice and crispy and they came out HOT.

The pickled cucumbers are nice and slightly crunchy with a flavor similar to cole slaw (minus the mayo).“

“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
