“Delicious Thai food restaurant open late night great prices I can't complain. They're pad Thai is absolutely delicious. I also love getting a Thai tea there with some tum yum soup . Definitely recommend they do take out too but you can also eat inside for a cozy date night“

“This place was on my watchlist for a while and I decided to go on my birthday. It was absolutely incredible!! So much better than I ever thought it would be. I seriously mean this, if you like Thai food at all, cancel whatever your lunch or dinner plans are and come here immediately. Absolutely mind-blowing how incredible their food is!!!“

“Grandma’s Thai Restaurant hits the spot for comfort Thai food. The Pad Thai my favorite. Perfectly balanced, flavorful, and cooked just right. The rest of the menu is solid too, with generous portions and friendly service. The interior could use a bit of a refresh, but there’s a certain charm to its cozy, lived-in vibe. Worth grabbing a pickup order.“

“The server cheerfully tolerated my ignorance about the cuisine. The food came quickly and with a wonderful presentation. Tasted great. Friendly and helpful staff. I just wish I knew enough to order intelligently. I shall return soon to continue my education.“

“I love the food.“

“Food is fair priced and comes out extremely fast. Great quality and wonderful flavor. The Hostess was super friendly.“

“The taste is very strong“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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 “

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

“Recommend for breakfast..“

“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“

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

“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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

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

“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“

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

“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“

“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).“

“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 ❤️“

“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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“My friend took is to Si Laa Thai Restaurant for dinner this evening. The food was delicious and service was good. I will go again definitely.“

“Everything was Awesome! Great food and Atmosphere!“

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

“If I could give Tuk Tuk Thai on Sawtelle in W. L.A. six stars, I would. They serve, hands down, the best Thai food I have tasted outside of Thailand. We were blown away by everything...the delicious, creative, authentic, clean food with the freshest ingredients , the cute, funky, casual and intimate space and exceptional hospitality. We ate incredible tasty, innovative and beautiful dishes such as mouthwatering fresh scallops and shrimp dumplings, duck, Wagyu beef and a killer pad Thai to name a few. The servers and kitchen were flexible to accommodate our parties' diverse dietary requirements and did so with pleasure and grace. I highly recommend you to run, not walk, to try this W.L.A gem..I cannot wait to go back!“

“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.“

“Fast service and nice employees.“

“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. _/\_“

“Loved our lunch here! We ordered 3 dishes and were impressed with them all. Super authentic Thai food with quick and friendly service. Our waitress was very nice and packed our to-go boxes for us, she even gave us extra sticky rice to take home!“

“Fantastic food, fair prices, friendly service. Thank you, Sam and the staff, we enjoyed the food and the company. The place feels warm. The food we took to our fellows in the office got many compliments. Thank you,“

“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).“

“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“

“They have both inside and outside seating areas. Service is great.“

“I was across the street at 4 Season Brewery and happened to see the place. Had the green curry with chicken for $16, it was very spicy but still edible. Very fresh and crunchy vegetables, one of the best curries I've ever had. The service was also super friendly! Unfortunately our vacation is coming to an end, otherwise I would like to come back.“

“This is my favorite Thai place. This gem is small but mighty. Their food is always so good, my favorites are the yellow curry with chicken, pad see ew with chicken and their beef salad. The lava cake with ice cream is the best ending. Portions are nicely sized. The lunch specials are perfect during the week. Delivery is always quick, and the drivers are so friendly. I also love the thai iced coffee. I highly recommend this restaurant for delicious Thai cuisine.“
