Pad Thai
David L.

It was very good. Came early so the restaurant felt empty. But by the time we were leaving it was half full. Really enjoyed the bbq meat rice dishes and pad Thai. Shrimp cakes were ok. Too bad there was no live music on the day we visited. Outstanding spot for large portion authentic Thai comfort food.

Pad See Ew
Mary A.

Came right at opening, and the space was very open with plenty of seating. The menu had a lot of options, which was nice. We ordered the fried tofu, pad see ew, and roasted duck curry with yellow curry instead of red. I'd say the food was just okay. I really enjoyed the tofu, but the other dishes were a bit bland. The pad see ew was also a little mushy and didn't have that nice chew and texture I look for. That said, I do think the prices are good for the portion sizes. Service was nice, and overall, it's not a bad spot. Valet parking is $5.

Fried Tofu, Shrimp Cakes (4 Per Order)
Duy P.

This is the second time we visited this place. Great foods and relax atmosphere. Must try the jumbo crab fried rice and pad ew. Staff were friendly and valet parking is available. Highly recommended

David L.

First time, I don't really come around this area due to traffic and parking but Palm Thai has their own valet parking and it made the stress of parking spot a non issue. Food was good but I would say the genuine warmth of the staff was what stood out to me. The stage and live music was a nice touch and made the whole place more lively. If you want good Thai food but want a place you and a lot of your family and friends can sit, chill, and just have a good time while you eat, this is the spot!

Kee Mao Noodle with Shrimp
Lance N.

A few days ago, a few friends went looking for some Thai sauces and goods before going to the Palms Thai Restaurant. Now, I have been here before, but it has been many years, and it's changed inside as there was no more stage for Elvis to perform. The service was nice and pleasant for sure. As for my order, it was very good, but not totally expected. In the past I have ordered spicy at other Thai restaurants and they have a hint of heat. At the Palms, I would say it was a bit of a fire with the spicy rating. Hahaha... the flavor was good, but I was putting up a sweat and going through my Thai Ice Tea like it was water. Now I can take some heat and so I didn't mind the spiciness of my Kee Mao, but I will warn you to check your tolerances before going all the way up to spicy. Hahaha ... Enjoy, as I will definitely be back.

Thai tea
Kim B.

As we walked in we got greeted and seated right away ! We ordered a couple of things and they were all delicious and did I mention the Thai tea . The vibe was very chill so definitely going back to try more .

Fish Cakes (6 per order)
Chris W.

I went there today with my friend around 4pm and there are some people are eating and I have to say when I walked in and there is a family were heading out and they even hold the door for me and my friends The clients of the restaurant are very friendly and nice This restaurant attracts good vibe Even the valet parking person is always wearing a big smile on his face and he is super sweet The food and the waiters are the best I am a return customer here and today my waitress recommended me a beef soup and it is so delicious which is very similar as Taiwanese beef noodle soup base Fried fish cake is definitely my appetizer for sure I had fried tofu green curry, morning glory and stored fried beef and broccoli today They are having promotion on four entrees and one free Note: they have their own parking garage and $5 for valet

Josh L.

Absolutely phenomenal no frills Thai food. The decor is quaint and modest but the food packs a punch. Went here and had a delicious lunch. Both authentic and incredibly well sized portions. You will not go home hungry. We went with the catfish salad, phad thai, and chili basil stir fry. Everything was packed with flavor and it was probably some of the best Thai food I've experienced. Rich in flavor and the perfect level of spice. Everyone was very nice and the food came out quickly. Would definitely come back.

Khao Soi Beef
Kenia A.

A long-time favorite of mine, my family and I have been coming to this place for years! They offer $5 valet parking. The menu is extensive, and you really can't go wrong with anything. My personal favorite is the coconut shrimp soup, it's flavorful, spicy, and one of my gos after a late night out.

Crab curry
Eunice C.

Beef satays were delicious. Love the sauce & meat were tender too. Crab curry were a bit more salty & spicy than expected from a medium, although flavorful. We might have made a mistake of dunking the vermicelli into the bowl and mixed with all of the curry sauce. Probably would be better, had I spooned the curry crab on to the vermicelli sparingly and mixed in more curry as needed. There is a parking garage shared with the storage shop next store and entered from Bronson Ave. I went on Friday night and it was $5 all night. (Check their closing hours if you wanna use it for pantages parking, which is an easy 15 mins walk) Love all the cute wooden cat sculptures lined up at the ceiling.

2. Egg Rolls
Jamal G.

Myself and a few coworkers decided to stop by Palms for lunch. The restaurant was fairly empty in the middle of the day so the service was fast and friendly. I had the friend wontons, egg rolls, and as my main course I had the chicken curry with a medium spice level. The wontons were a 4/5 for me. They were crispy and flavorful. I could eat those things all day. The egg rolls were ok (3/5), but I've had better. I really enjoyed the chicken curry (4/5). I got a medium spice level which was perfect for me. The chicken as well as the veggies were flavorful and tender. I would definitely go back for this.

The good old days
chris m.

Palms Thai was a favorite for years even before I moved within walking distance. Used to come from the valley to grab great meals. Very different place now. Last visit, food was excellent as always. Not sure how the food was tonight 3/21/26 though. Wanted to place an order to go since they no longer accept phone orders, and haven't for a minute. But instead of a real person taking my order at the bar, I was directed to a screen to select my food options. So you're going to take my order if it's for there, but a screen if to go? Nah, I'll eat elsewhere from now on.

Trout, pad Thai, laab, curry

Ask the Community - Palms Thai Restaurant

What is the jazz band like on Friday Eve?

Foreplay, George Benson, Stevie Wonder, and many more styles. Grammy award musicians, world class talent. The core group and their friends they invite to sit in.… 

Do they take reservations?

Is this the same restaurant that use to be in the same parking lot with Ruen Pair?

Yes. But they moved over 15 years ago. And no longer have the Thai Elvis. Don't know if they still have stage singing weekend nights during Covid.

Does Palms Thai serve Jade Noodles, my favorite?

No, they sadly do not or that I know of.

How much does the valey parking cost? Do they have an on site self parking lot or garage and how much does that cost?

Free garage parking No charge

What time is the live band starts?

I've been there a few times various days of the week and I have yet to see one. I don't think they have a live band anymore.

Does everyone that come here pay for parking? Where else can you park without paying?

Yes I do pay for parking, we came in tonight and it was $5.00

A Thai restaurant I know used to have freshly fried shrimp chips as an appetizer. Like the fresh, high-end version of what you can buy in bags and markets. They took them off their menu. Where can I get these delicacies? Does Palms Thai?

What I do know is that Palms Thai Restaurant serves as an appetizer called the "Shrimp Cakes" which include 4 per order...and are served with sweet plum sauce. Hope this helps...… 

Is Thai Elvis still performing Saturday Nights?

No, unfortunately no. Thai Elvis went back to Thailand. But there still is a live singer (usually female), and that's a nice consolation.

What would you recommend for someone who can't eat spicy?

Yes. You choose your level of 'spicy'.

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.

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.
