Ambiance is nice and chill, honestly feel it would make a cute date night with the dim lighting, calm and intimate atmosphere. But while there - there was plenty of solo diners, dates, happy hours, and family gatherings. Definitely an all rounder place!

I've always said that I love the ambiance of holiday popup bars but not the price tag. So when I…read morediscovered Little Plearn Thai by my alma mater that caters to the student budget, went all out for their holiday decor, I knew I had to stop by. Arrived with 10 min left for their HH discount so got their two mojito and sunrise mocktails and 3 appetizers, satay chicken, curry puff, and potstickers. Then onto their dinner menu of Moo Dang dry noodles and ginger sole before finishing off with one of their fun holiday drinks for dessert, the peppermint eggnog for just $8.50. Even the ones with alcohol were only $10-$11. For the price of a few drinks at a popup bar, we got drinks, dinner, and leftovers for lunch. Must be the Econ major in me.

I love their hokkein noodles! I've been here twice this month, and I'd probably go more often if I…read morelived closer. I love the build your own bowl- and the serving is big enough for me to have a box of leftovers. The first time I got a mix of the Thai and Malay sauces with chicken- and that was great. The second time I got just the Malay sauce. I think next time I'd mix it with the Thai again for the extra layer of spice on top of peanut. For balance.

My family ordered garlic noodles, laksa soup rice noodles, pad see ew, and a recommendation with noodles and Thai plus Malay sauces. The portions were plenty and 5 of us got plenty full and still had some leftovers. The place was clean and had counter service. Food came to our table very quickly as it wasn't crowded at the time. We enjoyed it very much!

Beautiful restaurant and amazing food. Each dish was very delicious…read more Our favorites were the beef salad and the pumpkin slices. Surprisingly the pumpkin was the star. Very crispy and the sauce that comes with it is a nice tough. Great appetizer you should get. Beef salad hits all the notes a Thai dish should hit. Would recommend this as well. Vibes were great here. Great music and they have a fully stacked bar. Perfect for a weekend night

I wish I had taken pictures: We each started with a cocktail both were delicious, we shared a fresh rice paper roll for an appetizer: perfect and loved the peanut sauce. For entree I had green curry with chicken and tofu and my friend had pad se ew with beef. Both were delicious. I would definitely recommend this place for the good service, flavorful food nice portions and reasonably priced.

We decided to try this place craving something new, and we weren't disappointed. It wasn't busy around 6pm, but the vibes were really cute inside. I love the patio area they have. Would be perfect for a group meet up on a nice day. We ordered the pork sausage to start, the saikoo which according to my fiance is a must for laotian food, the yellow curry, and the crab fried rice. Everything was genuinely amazing. Here are my rankings below: Sausage: 8.5/10 Crab Fried Rice: (with the fish sauce) 9.5/10 Saikoo: (with the fish sauce) 9.5/10 Yellow Curry: 9/10 Would definitely order everything again. It's not quite thai, but thai with a twist I'd say. Bit on the pricey side, but everything was so fresh and you can see where the chefs are making everything, so you know you're getting quality. And the portions honestly made it really worth it. Such a great place! Will 100% be back.

But the Lao papaya salad completely saved the meal. It had that perfect salty-sweet balance with just the right amount of punch, and paired with the sticky rice, it was SO good. The kind of combination where you keep going back for "one more bite" until suddenly it's gone. Honestly, I would come back just for that papaya salad and sticky rice. Sometimes one dish is enough to earn a return visit, and this was definitely it. #PapayaSalad #LaoFood #StickyRice #FoodieFinds

OVERALL: I'd return to try their tom yum soup as it smelled so good when I first entered. There are many more options to choose from and I do feel its street food vibes were authentic.

I had their fried chicken and Roti, which came with fried chicken thigh, roti, sweet chili sauce,…read morecurry sauce, and pickled cucumber. Everything tasted really good. The fried chicken was juicy, tender, and cooked to the perfect level of crispiness. For the sauces, I liked their curry sauce more because it had more complex flavors from the spices. The roti was like a huge puff which was really interesting because I have neven seen it prepared that way elsewhere. The only downside was it's a bit greasy. Other than this, everything tasted great!

This review is about the woman at the register who has no business working with the public…read more A friend put me onto this place years ago because it reminded her of living in Thailand, and the food really is good. We've been regulars since. The last few visits, though, the woman at the register has had this nasty attitude every single time we order. We told ourselves everyone has bad days and let it go. Today my friend, who just lost her job, went out of her way to grab me food because I was having a rough one. She spent $30 on Khao Mun Gai. The khao mun gai came with broth and sauce containers that were less than half full, like they were rationing it on purpose. She ordered it to go and asked for an extra box so we could split it. The woman got an attitude because my friend didn't tip her. My friend explained she'd just lost her job and couldn't tip right now, which honestly shouldn't have even mattered since this was a to-go order. Nobody tips on to-go orders in California generally. The woman told her she wasn't getting a box because she didn't tip, and said if she wanted one, she could go buy it at Philz Coffee. Then she mocked my friend for not having a job and said she could just go buy her own box. When my friend pushed back, the woman had the nerve to say, "California is expensive." Yeah, the food is great; that's never been the issue. People don't want to support a place where customer service is hot-garbage. Maybe that's why fewer and fewer people are coming to eat at your restaurant. If she wants a tip, here's one: don't treat customers like shit because they're going through something; don't shortchange people on the broth and sauce; and maybe fix your portion sizes while you're at it. Nobody owes you money on top of the price of the food, especially when the food portions don't match the price. Humiliating people who are already struggling is disgusting. The food used to be great. Now I'd think twice before going back.

Started off with the fresh rolls and corn cakes. The fresh rolls lived up to their name of being…read morefresh and they were a good size with a perfect crunch. The corn cakes were fried just right so they were golden on the outside but soft on the inside and the slaw and sweet sauce elevated it. I would get both appetizers again. For entrees we had: Mama Pad Kee Moa (3.5/5) - instant noodles with fresh veggies and very thin beef. Flavor was good, but the beef missed the mark because it was lacking. Massaman Gai Curry (5/5) - the curry was so flavorful in this dish and the soft potato complimented it very well. Definitely the winner of the night. Chicken Khao Pad (Fried Rice) (3/5) - rice was a little too dry and the thinly cut chicken again did not pop out in the dish. Overall, very fresh and authentic Thai dishes. Service was fast and attentive. There are plenty of seating options to dine in, but I also saw a lot of take out orders. Street parking can be difficult on Shattuck but easier to find on the side streets.

No complaints about the service; they were quick and very friendly…read more Unfortunately, I was not the biggest fan of the food. The green curry noodles came with vermicelli, and I wanted to try it since it's what they recommend, but it just was not the right texture for the curry I felt. The flavor of the curry itself was not super flavorful. I felt like more coconut milk could have been added to coat the noodles more. The spring rolls were good. I enjoyed the peanut sauce. We also sat at the front by the door, and it was rather cold in that seat.
