Service is excellent here and I recommend dining in for optimal dining experience. However, all my leftovers were still fire, as well. I would recommend getting all of these dishes: *~Green Curry Dumpling ($12) - This may be a sleeper hit but the green curry surrounding the steamed veggie dumplings is a nice level of spicy and just makes my mouth watering thinking about this appetizer. *~Crispy Duck Rolls ($14) - They're fresh & feel so refreshing to eat with a few pieces of roasted duck inside and their fresh Thai slaw with some hoisin sauce, all wrapped in rice paper and lettuce, of course. I'm obsessed with this appetizer, as well! *~Pad Thai Meltdown ($22) - This is the most fun spin on pad thai of all time! I'm a basic girl and goodness do I love pad thai. Well their recipe is absolutely delicious ~ but this dish has melted cheese on top, as well! It's not as weird as it sounds, it's actually amazing just making the dish taste more creamy, not really cheesy tasting. My only disappoint was they are supposed to grate & melt the cheese tableside and that didn't happen. I went on a busy lunch though so I'm assuming that's why we didn't get the tableside show! Maybe next time! *~Chef Katt's Special Fried Rice ($18) - If you're going to get a fried rice, this classic Thai one may be the one to get with sweet Thai sausage slices and bacon pieces throughout. Loved this fried rice! Honestly, this was the best Thai food I've had in ages! They are adding little spins on dishes to make them fresh and new, and most importantly - delicious! I'll be back soon!

Amazing thai place!! I've come here twice so far. What we…read moreordered: 1. Pad thai: (9/10) one of the best I've had so far in LA. Perfect balance of sweet and slightly sour. 2. Pad see ew: (7.5/10) a classic. Not the best I've had but it was good! 3. Blood clam papaya salad (6/10): I love blood clams but these were a little too ocean-y for my taste. The amount of papaya salad was also very sparse. Probably would just go for regular papaya salad next time. Service is also great - they are very attentive. The location is next to a motel but there is plenty of street parking.

My favorites are My Son's Pho (it's my favorite pho on the West side) and the N Seoul Bowl (which is light but hearty and the portion is so generous I always have leftovers for lunch). The Sunset Strip Burger is a major crowd pleaser. The Northern Lights pasta is cravable. The service is always warm and welcoming, but never hover. Love the staff. And it's usually quiet inside, pretty small. We've never had to wait for a table. It's such a gem, we were instantly hooked. I just wish I'd known about it sooner.

I'm actually surprised that I haven't cuz I'd been to this place two or possibly three times already. I was one of their early customers when they first started. I vividly remember how I first met Valerie. Not knowing that she's actually the owner, I've witnessed how she's fully hands on with the business. She was the person behind the counter who greeted me as soon as I came in, took my order, and personally brought it to my table. She's very humble, soft spoken, but still made me my visit very comfortable. The vegan menu is pretty simple and very straightforward. What you see is what you get. Everything I've tried were all very good. I heard they also started making vegan cakes which I have to try on my next visit. I'll be sad though cuz I'll miss Valerie's smiling face. May you Rest In Peace, Valerie.

I'm so glad I stumbled on this spot while browsing UberEats! I ordered the Classic…read moreCheeseburger--it's a Beyond Burger, but the kitchen gives it this subtle, flavorful upgrade that leaves most of the uninspired vegan burgers I've had on my travels in the dust. It's easily my new go-to. Pro tip: Since I was ordering delivery, I called the restaurant directly right after placing it to ask if they'd leave the patty on the grill just a touch longer than usual. They were so sweet about it and executed it flawlessly. Also, can we talk about the coleslaw? I usually steer clear of restaurant slaw because so many places drown it in heavy, uninviting mayo. But Sunshine absolutely delivered. Their dressing is beautifully light and slightly sweet--honestly, it makes an amazing burger topping. So many vegan spots rely way too heavily on processed, hyper-engineered faux meats and cheeses. This place strikes such a lovely, authentic balance. You can get a genuinely vibrant, healthy bowl, or dive into comfort food classics like their mean vegan chicken sandwich--and I hear the sweet potato fries are a fantastic side, too. To top it all off, the female owners are absolute gems. Even over the phone, they treat everyone with this effortless, warm hospitality that makes you feel like an old friend. It's just great energy all around. Check them out!

Refreshing, bright, and it hits the spot every time. The service is fast and friendly, and I've never had to wait, making it even easier to keep coming back. I also just discovered they offer cooking classes, which makes me love this place even more. Healthy, delicious, and full of life. Definitely a go-to.

Carne Asada Taco (5/5): flavorful and delicious, my favorite taco here. Slow Braised Steak Taco (4/5): the meat was nice and tender. Chicken Taco (4/5): solid if you like chicken. Pepperoni Pizza (3.5/5): definitely don't expect a regular pizza as this is made with thin crispy tortillas, could use some more flavor. Overall great spot for tacos!

Along with these, I've also ordered their coconut cream horchata. I think all of these taste somewhat off.. it's either bland, or the salsa is missing something that gives it that authentic kick.

There are tons of taco trucks and stands around the area!

After my family and I visited the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, I wanted to stop somewhere for…read moreice cream, but my kids wanted something to drink like a smoothie or boba. Another criteria they were looking for was a nice place to hang out. We ended up deciding on Green Table Cafe because my daughter said that this cafe sold smoothies and it was a cute place based on the pictures she saw online. Once we got to the cafe, it had an inviting vibe and the gentleman behind the counter was friendly, but I wasn't a fan of the Chocotino smoothie and the table we sat at was not cleaned prior to us sitting there. Green Table Cafe is located in Los Angeles specifically on Pico Blvd. and Stearns Drive. It's next to an India Spices & Groceries store and it's across the street from CVS. Parking is mainly street parking and we found a metered parking spot across the street that didn't cost too much. Once we entered the cafe, we were greeted by small red car that someone could win if you participate in their $20/ticket raffle and a welcome greeting from the gentleman behind the counter. It's definitely a cute and inviting place with a large painted sentence "Love what you do Do it with LOVE" on the wall behind the counter. There are other inspirational wall art scattered around the restaurant. There are floral decorations throughout, wooden slat ceiling, natural light, and other accents that match the vibe. There are round marble tables with blue velvet and blue plastic chairs, a skinny wooden table with a sofa, and there are covered outdoor seating. Not sure if the gentlemen behind the counter was the owner or manager, but he was customer service oriented and was friendly to every customer who entered the cafe. My review is solely based on the smoothie I ordered because that's all I experienced. If we ever visit again, I would like to try their food and desserts because the desserts and pastries looked enticing. The description of their savory food on their menu made them sound delicious, but I won't know until I try. Based on its name, the verbiage on the menu, and what I drank, it appears Green Table Cafe is for the healthy conscious consumer. Their menu consists of coffee drinks, smoothies, superfood bowls, salads, and burgers/paninis. The words gluten-free, kale, quinoa, acai, hemp milk, and mint extract hearken to someone with a vegan diet. I'm a carnivore and I like to eat whatever I enjoy, so I'm probably not their target customer. I ordered their Chocotino smoothie and I wasn't a fan from the first sip to the last. The Chocotino is made with almond milk, banana, cacao, protein powder, rolled oats, almond yogurt, dark chocolate, peppermint oil, and goji berries. It leaned heavily on a peppermint taste and when I let my daughter taste it, she said it reminded her of a York peppermint patty candy. I definitely was not a fan and I almost brought it back to exchange, but I kept hoping it would taste better. I stirred it with my straw, but it didn't change my disdain for this smoothie. My kiddos got the smoothies they craved and a place that was a cool place to hang out. I didn't enjoy my smoothie, but that's what parents do. We make sacrifices for our kids.
