The first Thai restaurant I explored when I moved to Los Angeles from Youngstown, Ohio in 2004. Simply the best and inexpensive. After today's visit I'm not sure I'll be going back, service was slow and poor, had to ask for things multiple times. It was even an issue getting a bag for our leftovers. Its OK, there are plenty of other options in Thai Town. 😉

One of my favourite place while in thai town. It can be crowded and parking will be sucks during night time, but it worth for wait. Try their combination fried rice and pad thai. It is so good. Cant go wrong with it. The cashew chicken is ok. But over all loves this place

I've come to this establishment on and off for over 2 decades. The food always tastes fresh, and the service is great especially late at night. I didnt know they took debit/credit because when I started coming here it was cash only. Larb is always excellent. Light but filling! The portion are smaller than what I remember but that is to be expected. I took my food to go, this maybe another reason. But let me tell you, nothing like eating some of the best Thai cuisine Hollywood has to offer in the comfort of your own home. This place is a solid must try.

For graduation dinner, I ordered twelve orders of the #12-kabob combo. My order was ready on time and perfectly packaged family style. The beef lulu and chicken were well spiced and full of mediterranean flavor. Came with tomato, pepper, hummus, pita and salad -all were tasty. This is the best mediterranean in the area and we'll be back!

Studio City's hidden gem...Ridiculously good! 4 stars is not enough! One of the best meals my WIFE and I have had in along time. The flavors are explosive. This is what authentic Indian food tastes like. One of Studio City's finest. Run don't walk!!!

This location is not as good as their Claremont location. Although they said they are the original, the Pad Kee Mow noodle was soggy and didn't have the charred smell like the other location. Their grilled pork was the worst dish we ordered. The rest were okay.

Okay. It's relatively inexpensive and the wait time is short. They have a parking lot, which is always tight. The place is busy, but it's a small space. There are very few healthy options here. Most of the food is fried or very greasy. The pad Thai is good, had nice flavors. The service is good, attentive staff. Is it fine dining? Nope. Are there healthy options? Few. Is it a clean restaurant? Undecided, probably not. Is the level of quality top notch? Nope. Is it cheap? Yes. Comfort food? Absolutely.

Pretty good food, but not used to eggplant in curry. In Texas and other states, they put in other vegetables such as peppers or cucumbers. Wait was long. Parking is atrocious. Staff are nice and friendly. It was stressful eating with such a crowded area and suffocatingly small parking. I think taking food home from this location would be a better option as it has little room inside or out. The food is pretty good but the Thai I had in Houston was much better and the curry there was thick. The curry here was sort of watery, and too much soggy eggplant. Nice flavor to it though.

The food was great we got the Tom yum with pad thai noodles. The service on the other hand not so great the waitresses brought my food and we waited a few minutes for my husband's but she never brought it when we finally asked her she told us she had forgotten to place his order and walked away without apologizing or anything, when she brought my husband's food she never came back to our table to ask if we needed anything we had to keep flagging her down so she could bring us our drinks napkins and finally our check.

No frills is correct and I liked it that way. The food was excellent, steaming hot and tasty. Service superv and available parking with an attendant outside-a must for Hollywood. The fact that it's open until late is very convenient. The place was mostly full when we arrived at 9:30pm. The back of the restaurant had great music playing. We heard Adele, Gaga and Madonna while we were there, making it a comfortable and casual atmosphere. Will definitely keep it in mind next time I feel like having Thai food late night!

This was my go to Thai restaurant when I used to live in Los Angeles area. This is a Thai restaurant that cooked and served the same way as one could get in Thailand. Very authentic. Most items are central/Bangkok dishes. Been there so many times and everything we had was excellent .This place accepts only cash.

This place serves the best Thai noodles I've had in all of L.A. I've been coming here for years, but within the past year or so the place has had a face lift and they've started accepting credit cards, so I find myself coming here more often. Recommended dishes are the Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Pad Kee Mao and the Emporer's Noodles. Parking can be tricky (small lot) but this spot is worth the effort.

Came here the first week they opened and a few more times after that. The first time I came, the hostess gave our table to someone else that came later and claimed the name. I think they should hand out tickets with numbers on them instead of go by names. As I come in, I see a lot of empty tables. The second time I came, I was told that the wait would be 25 min. While walking to my table, I see a whole bunch of empty and untouched tables. Why are they having people wait when there are empty tables? Their mini cooker tops are at the far center and their tables are high up, making it difficult to reach and comfortable cook your food. They should think about lowering their tables or raise their chairs higher. However, I do like the fact that you can adjust the heat setting right on the cooker top instead of having to turn your head sideways beside the table.

A friend recommended this place, i love the fried shrimp cake fish cake. The fried shrimp was a bit grease tho, i can only have one! Their thai iced tea was great! The only complaint i have is parking, its so hard to park, they do have a guy that kinda managed the parking lot but not real valet tho. You just need yo tip him. Overall experience was good, good food fast service.

The best late-night Thai food that I have ever had. We were drinking until the wee hours at a bar and someone there recommended Sanamluang. I'm very glad that I gave it a chance. Service was great, food was great, location was easy to find. And the hours of operation absolutely dreamy. If you find yourself in LA, Hollywood specifically, definitely check out Sanamluang.
