    We dined as a group of 5 and ordered many signature dishes on the menu to explore the diversity. Overall, the entrees such as crab fried rice are solid with rich flavors. But there are a few items, on that particular day, were just below the acceptable level. For examples, chicharron has a distinctive off-flavor associated with pork when the skins are not cleaned properly. We couldn't even finish after one bite. The sea bass in tom yum soup was clearly not fresh, emitting a noticeable off-flavor. Chicken wings are flavorful but the skins are fried too hard to bite easily. The server was kind enough to take the chicharron off the menu but it also feels like she didn't care to explain at all.

    I love the quality of food but portion is small. I like the chicken wing the most - it's a double battered fried chicken with fish sauce. So crispy and delicious The tom yum fried rice was super special too. It was using purple fried rice and it adds a special creamy texture to the rice Sea bass green curry was so delicious too. Sea bass was cooked perfectly and curry was super flavorful Papaya salad and pad see ew were pretty standard. We got it because portion was small and we weren't full. Dessert was good as always.

    Mango Coconut Sticky Rice

    i enjoyed the food here, but there were a couple hiccups during my meal... first, the food was delicious. the fresh green rolls were delicious, and i especially enjoyed the peanut sauce which had a nice kick to it. i ordered the garlic noodles with tofu, and the noodles were cooked well with a nice bite, the garlic flavor wasn't overwhelming, overall a balanced dish. and we finished with the mango sticky rice with coconut milk, which was pretty standard. however, the staff asked twice about allergies and i mentioned i am vegetarian. despite this, i was served garlic noodles with chicken :/ they replaced the dish without any issue, but i would be worried if someone really did have an allergy that this could be overlooked.

    Pad See Ew Plate with Shrimp
    Andrew L.

    Was in the area and wanted a quick takeout dinner so made a pickup order through Seamless from La Ong. Got the Pad See Ew noodles dish with Shrimp. It was slightly on the salty side but very flavorful. Easy pickup, food was ready when promised and friendly staff.

    Tom Yum Rice Plate
    Nikki B.

    This place opened a few years ago next to my office and my coworkers & I frequently order take out from here. Its moniker is derived after the chef's grandma and the dishes are based on her recipes. Everything is prepared with ingredients that are imported from Thailand or locally sourced. In the past I've had the Mee Krob, Brussels Sprouts, & Papaya Salad, which were all tasty. A recent order we shared consisted of Tom Yum Rice and Stir Fried Broccoli. With an infusion of Thai basil, Kaffir leaves, chili, & lime, the Tom Yum Rice was an interesting dish. It also contained scallops, shrimp, & crab, which I enjoyed. The stir-fried broccoli was also good. La Ong will continue to be a staple on our lunch order list.

    Beef with Ginger Rice Plate
    EJ J.

    This is our go to spot for Thai food in Beverly Hills! Every time we arrive the host and hostess are always friendly and quick to seat us wherever we like. There's both seating in the restaurant or on the patio. You will be close to other people if you do sit on the patio, so if you are planning to have a private conversation it won't be TOO private. The place is very clean and has a nice little set up to it. There's even a little bar seating area you can sit at and order a thai ice tea while waiting for your order. They are pretty quick to take your order and the food comes out in a decent amount of time. I usually order the Sea Bass Southern Thai Curry Plate if I'm not that hungry or the Beef with Ginger Rice Plate with an iced black lychee tea or Thai ice tea depending on my mood. I can't even explain how good everything here is. You honestly can't go wrong with whatever you order and you will be satisfied. Trust ya boy! Anyway, it can get a little packed around lunch time but you shouldn't have any issues getting a seat. If you're in the area and in the mood for Thai, hit this place up. Oh, they separate checks too! I feel like that's something I should start mentioning in my reviews that would be helpful. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

    khao soi
    Lucy L.

    The spring rolls and fried chicken here is phenomenal!!!! I cannot recommend it enough and for my entree I got the khao soi which was also very delicious. My one complaint is that parking can get difficult in the area, though there are lots nearby.

    Organic Fresh Green Rolls
    Chris W.

    I would say this restaurant is a fancy version of Thai food because the plating is very beautiful I love the organic green spring rolls and the sauce is very delicious It is a very good choice to have it in summer The service is good there and servers are nice and hospitable Parking is easy on the street or parking structures cross streets

    Came here with reservations and was seated with little to no wait. The customer service here was great, the workers were nice and attentive. The food on the other hand was honestly nothing special. The papaya salad was lacking in zest and spice, it just tasted like peanuts and it was bland. The holy basil noodles was nothing we expected, the noodles were fried to the point where we thought they were chips. If you're looking for a noodle dish this is not it. The tom kha was good but the portion was tiny for its cost. I've definitely had better Thai food at a cheaper place, however I came because I wanted to treat my friend to a more upscale thai restaurant. The major flaw of this place was the insufferable scent of grease inside. I'm not sure if the vents weren't working or what was up, but the fumes of oil and grease were so strong. Me and my friend left with our hair and clothes smelling so greasy and fried. We got back to our friend's apartment and my other friend could instantly smell the greasiness when we walked by, it was suffocating.

    Craving Thai food while wasting all your money away shopping in Beverly Hills? This is the spot for you! La Ong brings a refreshing twist to Thai cuisine, serving many of the classics while also having some innovative dishes, all presented with an elevated level of dining experience. The dishes are both delicious and beautiful to look at. The presentation is top notch and the authentic (and sometimes innovative) flavors are present with every bite. It's clear they really thought about each dish and put care into it. The service was top notch. They were incredibly attentive, friendly, and helped us pick out the best dishes for us given what we were looking for at the time. The ambience is top notch. It definitely meets the expectations given the location. The contemporary interior is upscale without feeling too pretentious (a trap many places fall into). Thai food, even when elevated, has to remain approachable and true to its roots and they reach that balance well. Overall, if you are craving Thai food in Beverly Hills of all places (like us), you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that there is indeed a restaurant for you.

    Crazy wagyu
    Shareef V.

    Thai cravings? Solved. La Ong on Beverly Hills nails the balance between cozy and elevated. We tried the Crazy Wagyu, their luxe spin on grapow, and the Khao Soi, a rich, bold curry that stole the show. Both dishes were a feast for the eyes and the palate--presentation on point, flavors even better. This spot has that "family-run but make it fancy" vibe. Locals fill the tables, takeout bags are flying, and you just know you're in the right place. Sure, the prices are Beverly Hills-level, but you're getting high-quality, unique Thai dishes that are worth the splurge. Looking for a dinner spot when casual isn't cutting it, but you're not feeling super fancy? La Ong's your move. Elevated Thai perfection. Service was really awesome.

    Roti with shredded coconut and coconut ice cream
    Crizanne D.

    When I tell you that this food took us through a journey!! From our appetizers to our dessert! Let's start with how great the quality of food you get for the price which super hard to find in Beverly Hills. I'm sure famous people come in here all the time because it's just such a cute spot with greenery and beautiful interior design and different wall textures that capture the eye. There's also a nice painting of the restaurant owner's grandmother on the wall as this was dedicated to the woman that taught her to cook. I'm so happy my bestie took me here. The service was wonderful, our waiter knew we order lots of food and we had a small table so he added another table to make sure we were comfortable and we didn't even have to ask. They were on top of their service! The chicken wings were perfectly crispy and wonderfully glazed, the Thai tea was so good, the Pad See Ew had an amazing smokiness to it, and the Yellow Curry noodles were delectable! You can tell that so much love and intent was put into each plate that was created. I won't be able to stop dreaming about the food. I will absolutely be back with more friends and family. Make sure you come and change your life with this food! Do yourself a favor and get the Roti with coconut ice cream! As a side note, Jeanie Mai was there eating when I arrived. So I knew it was gonna be good! Sadly didn't get a picture because I didn't want to bother her while eating.

    Papaya Salad
    Alexandra G.

    Good for a quick bite when you're at the triangle in Beverly Hills! This Thai restaurant is a nice surprise because most in this area are on the higher end. Food is delicious. Favs are Papaya Salad and Pad See Ew.

    First visit to Emporium Thai and I already know this won't be my last…read more I walked in solo with a tight window between shows, which meant I had to be strategic. No leftovers, no over-ordering... a true test of discipline at a place like this. Started with a Thai iced tea that hit exactly right. Balanced, not overly sweet, and generously poured. Service throughout the meal was excellent. Attentive without hovering, and the pacing was spot on. I never felt rushed, which is rare when you're clearly on a clock. For my appetizer, I went with the Phuket wings. As someone who takes wings seriously, I can say these stood out. Crispy, flavorful, and coated in a Southern Thai curry sauce I hadn't experienced before. Rich, slightly sweet, with a depth that kept me going back for "just one more." For the main, I took the server's recommendation and ordered the Thai beef salad to balance things out. Smart call. The dressing leaned creamier than what I usually expect, but it worked. Bright, flavorful, and layered. I'll be honest, I couldn't quite finish it, but the beef didn't stand a chance. Every last bite. Dessert sealed the deal. The mango sticky rice, now famously known as the Cardi B Mango Sticky Rice, lived up to the hype. Perfectly ripe mango, warm sticky rice, and that coconut sauce tying it all together. Simple, classic, and done right. The space itself tells a story. Walls lined with photos of the owner alongside celebrities from all over. But what stood out more than the photos was the man himself. He made his way around the room, greeting guests, checking in, bringing real warmth to the experience. No hierarchy, no pretense. Everyone gets treated like they belong. Twenty-six years in and I'm just now discovering this place? Better late than never. Next time, I'm bringing a group and ordering everything family style. That's the move.

The pink milk was... interesting. The flavor itself wasn't bad, but I couldn't shake the association with Pepto Bismol, maybe it was just the color playing tricks on me. Not sure I'd order it again, but I'm glad I tried it. For appetizers, we got the moo ping, and this was a standout. Super tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Our table ordered a mix of dishes: pad see ew with crispy chicken/beef, boat noodles (kind of like a richer, slightly spicy pho), and spicy crabmeat pad thai. I had the crabmeat pad thai and really enjoyed it. The portion was generous, and the crab added a nice depth that made it feel a bit more elevated than your standard pad thai. It hit that balance of savory, slightly sweet, and spicy really well. Overall, the food came out solid across the board, especially considering how busy it was. Between the quick seating, flavorful dishes, and standout moo ping, this spot is definitely worth checking out. The restaurant was lively without feeling chaotic, making it easy to enjoy the meal and conversation. The restaurant is pretty small with limited parking so I'd imagine it'd be a long wait during rush hour.
