Vegetable fried rice
Nina H.

I have loved this place for many years and it is still amazing!! They have the best fried rice with so much flavor and the perfect mix of everything. Definitely my favorite Thai place in all of LA. The place is also run by amazingly kind people and the service is great.

Random Thai place we found. I think it's good for being a neighborhood thai place, but I think I was expecting more when I shouldn't have. It was lacking flavor, spice, etc.... Pad thai also was too sweet and the papaya salad was lacking flavor. Not the best Thai place but I'd give it a 6/10.

Secured large thai ice tea without ice to-go for $8!

This place hasn't not changed their recipes for over 20 years! My friends & I call this place "Ghetto Thai" but it endearing to us because the food is delicious that is in the hood! Our favorite & must have dish is the pork jerky and a side of sticky rice! This place makes the most flavorful pork jerky ever! Then we get it with a side of thai ice tea! We were nearby & had to drop by to pick up some for our drive back to OC. Now my kids know why it was a "must have" dish! Sooo delish!

Pad thai
Briana L.

I came right when it opened and ordered a pad thai, pad see ew, and tom yum noodle soup. I saw everyone recommended the beef jerky so I got it too. The beef jerky was a good move--it was salty and satisfyingly chewy while the sauce gave it a really good tang. The pad thai and pad see ew was great--there was a really nice char on the noodles and good proportion of noodle, meat, and veggie. My only complaint was that it came very greasy. The tom yum noodle soup was just alright, I had to order more lemon to make it the right amount of sour--I wouldn't order it again.

Damned good Chicken Pad Thai!

Last Saturday my bride and I had time on our hands because our beloved Trojans didn't kickoff til 7:30pm. So we trekked over to Thai Town in East Hollywood with hopes of rediscovering the vintage Thai cuisine and an authentic Thai scalp massage -more on that later- that I usta regularly treat myself to when I lived in Thai Town for eighteen months after graduating from college. If my goal was to regale Leti with the upper crust restaurants that firmly imprinted Thailand's savory cuisine on the LA dining scene, then I would've gone straight to Jitlada, Sanamluang or Hoy-Ka. But today's objective was to recreate the look and feel about how I first discovered Thai food on my first post-college job, thirty three summers ago. So we found ourselves near the intersection of Normandie and Melrose, where Khun Dhom and the world's smallest parking lot greet you with all the subtlety of a fiery Thai chile pepper! I'd already warned my bride on the long drive over from Diamond Bar regarding the small, family run restaurant's relative lack of stylistic flair. Khun Dhom appears to be a family run affair, and as we Yelpers know- Sometimes the best and most authentic recipes come straight outtve "hole in the wall" establishments! We ordered a small ton of food- Egg rolls, 2 Kung Pao Chicken dishes of varying spiciness, Chicken Pad Thai and Pineapple Pork Fried Rice. The sole mistake we made? I shoulder ALL of the blame for, because we knowingly violated one of my few cardinal rules: When in doubt, order the house specialty; And, never order non-regional entrees from international cuisines. In other words, why on earth order KUNG PAO CHICKEN from a Thai restaurant!!! We subsequently compounded our mistake by doubling up on it, ordering a medium heat version for me and a "hot as you can make it" for my fiery-tongued bride!! As the photo attests, we got what we deserved: The world's lamest and most "Albino" looking take on Kung Pao, ever!!! The chicken wasn't pan-fried, the peanuts weren't caramelized and it sorely lacked any of the green onions and decadent, almost faintly chocolatey mouth feel of great Kung pao!! If this was golf and I was afforded a mulligan (a do-over) I'd gladly would've substituted the Chicken Satay, Angel Wings or Papaya Salad! But, whew boy, Khun Dhom delivered like a champion on the THAI dishes! The Chicken Pad Thai was so good I was licking my plate of leftovers back at home!! The egg rolls were abundant (six), glassy, shiny and unctuous. My son's Pineapple Pork Fried Rice was riven with bug crunchy Cashews and wok'd to a beautiful caramel sheen. THIS IS the wondrous Khun Dhom that I first discovered as a baby-faced college grad, when $10 got me both a Pad Thai and an egg rolls. The times and prices have rocketed by...but sheeeeeeeeit, getting five entrees, two sides and a drink for $65 isn't too shabby! Pro tips: The cramped parking lot and dingy, sparsely lit, malodorous bathrooms aren't for the faint of heart! Keep that in mind before draining half of your days water ration before arrival! The brother and sister (?!?) duo who run the front of the house work their fannies off with a constant stream of dine-in and takeout orders. Pls don't skimp on tipping them lavishly.

Pad thai
J'aime K.

The pad thai was ok. Their spicy stir fried veggies was good. But their white steamed rice was horrible. Very cheap quality. Hard not fluffy. Would have been nicer if it had been good quality rice.

Papaya salad "blue crab" shell aka trash leftover salad.

Green curry was supposed to have eggplant and none was visible. Chicken was sort of fatty.

The Pad See Ew is the real deal, it's perfectly fried, utilizes tasty sauces, and the noodles are delicious. My only problem with this Thai spot are the portions, they're small for the price. My meal was provided in a tiny plastic container, it was a little underwhelming. I don't know if they mistakenly packed me a to-go container? Additionally, a soda fountain would be great, only cans/bottles are available here. If you're into a buzzy eateries inside Grand Central Market, you'll love this place. I definitely would come back for a light lunch or dinner. It's perfect for a chat or hangout. Staff are professional, but it would be nice if they were more warm. It was a Wednesday night in Los Angeles, it wasn't overly packed. I'm not quite sure why they were so stressed.

We waited 35 minutes for an our food - seems like we arrived at the DoorDash prime time as we saw at least 10 dashers picking up to go orders the entire time .

My wife and I came for my birthday outing (she surprised me). Thai is always a "go to" and when we hit LA it's food time. The appetizer set the tone - crab wontons (ummmm - yeah I'm no food geography expert but I imagine they didn't originate in Thailand but who cares they rock!) My wife said probably the best she has ever had - crispy, creamy, actual crab sightings in the filling - loved it. Green curry - loaded with ingredients and aromatic and enticing. Eggplant, bamboo shoots lots of meat, veggies - and the curry underneath was loaded with flavor. Medium spice hit just right (I can handle Thai hot but I am taking it easy ok??) Drunken noodles - but an udon version? Let's try it - loved it! Again - plentiful meat, basil fragrance wafting to my nostrils, spicy sweet and savory blended sauce - fantastic. Verdict? Solid 5 on all hands. Service, ambience, food, value... You won't be sorry.

NOW FLASH BACK TO HERE. i to echo park only seeking dessert and my friend SHOVED ME over to this tiny cute little establishment. little did i know my upcoming flavor explosion. the sticky rice was WARM, coconutty, sweet and absolutely melted in your mouth while still holding firm, not necessarily mushy. i almost shed a tear. it was STEAMING. and the condensed milk drizzled on top went above and beyond... it was definitely coconut that added just another level of tropical warmth ugh. and those MANGOS??? GIRL ITS APRIL, NOT SUMMER??? yet they were the sweetest, softest, most decadent mangos on planet earth. with that bit of mint, every bite had me in ecstasy... and a food coma. THIS is mango sticky rice. and i WILL be back. also, tell me why i just sat down next to Ian from Smosh. that man's been loving thai food since youtube's inception... and obviously he has impeccable taste *fangirls*

food: really good! super flavorful, however the portions aren't as big. i'm used to going to thai…read moreplaces and the portions being huge because it's normally family style, but the serving sizes here could be eaten by a single person. service: horrible. i get it being a busy restaurant, but we waited for 10 minutes to be SEEN to put our name down. there was no one in the front... i made eye contact with workers inside and they just walked away. ambiance: i love the ambiance! so cute

The pork came with a good mix of lean meat, fatty pieces, and braised pork skin. Everything tasted fresh and tender, and the meat wasn't dry at all, which I know some reviewers have mentioned. It had a lovely sweet, aromatic braised flavor with hints of star anise. The dipping sauce was also delicious--sweet, sour, and spicy, with a strong kick of Thai chili and fresh lime. The acidity balanced the richness of the pork really well. 5/5. I also loved the coconut chicken soup. It was tangy, fragrant, and very appetizing. The chicken and mushrooms tasted really fresh, and the whole dish felt freshly cooked rather than something that had been sitting around. I ended up drinking a lot of the broth because it was so good. 5/5. The Thai tea was decent--smooth and not overly sweet, but nothing particularly memorable. 3/5. We finished pretty much everything. For two people, the total came to around $54 including tax and tip, and we were very full. Great value for the amount and quality of food. My only small complaint: the bowls and soup spoons were plastic. Otherwise, this was one of the most satisfying meals we had on this LA trip.

We can ordered them all so they must take turn. This place don't need introduction since it's one of the must visit when you are in Thai town LA. If you haven't been here then come by. Try to come odd hours not during dinner since it's gonna be packed.
