Great food. Very fair prices, especially considering the location. Stylish interior that's quite fancy without being stuffy. And outstanding service - friendly staff who make you feel welcome. To boot - free parking! We loved our dinner and will be back. read more

This is such a cute Thai restaurant that boasts tasty Thai staples as well as some inspired brunch items. They have a cute front patio if you prefer a more al fresco setting. Service was attentive and friendly. We ordered a hot Matcha latte and an iced Thai coffee... both were fantastic. We also shared the chicken satay and pad see ewe with beef and were very happy with both dishes. So happy that we ordered another pad see ewe to go for later. read more

Love Spelling Thai Bistro the owner Steve and his wife are lovely and the food is fresh and delicious the restaurant bathrooms is kept very clean which is very important to me. Very friendly place that serves wonderful Thai cuisine . I will be back read more

How can I even start. This is my second time @ Spelling Thai And I was not disappointed again. Quality of food is amazing. You will not be disappointed. Service is great. The ambience is nice, romantic, quiet and is also good for families. Is just a great place. Parking was easy. They have parking in the back and if you're able to find parking on the street that's also great. It is a small place but the service is fast and the food is amazing. Will come back again read more

I was hungry for Thai food, and I like to support independent restaurants in my neighborhood. Spelling Thai got the nod. It's a nice presentation, and the quality of the food is excellent. The amount of sauce is perfect in the sense that it does not overwhelm the dish. I will be back and try some of their other Thai dishes. The prices are very reasonable. I've been to Thailand, and they are known for their excellent food. This is the real deal, and it saves me a really long plane ride to get some good Thai food! read more

The food was flavorful and met all of my expectations. The service was great I love family owned businesses they are always way more hospitable than chain restaurants. The restaurant itself was very visually appealing, nice and neat with its own touch of character. Will be back ! read more

I just found a new Thai food spot! Friendly service, great tasting dishes and cool bistro ambiance. I had a rough day at work and decided to treat myself to dinner! Just me & me lol For my first dine-in experience, I started with the fried dumplings and the Unchan - Butterfly Pea with lime, which was a bit on the sweet side but I enjoyed it still. The dumplings were fresh and delicious - I enjoyed the dipping sauce. For my main entree I had the Crab noodle curry with a side of white rice; When I tell you it was delicious; I tell you no lies! Very flavorful curry sauce and big lump crab meat. Noodles were light and veggies were thinly sliced for an easy eat! Next time I'll try the shrimp Pad See Ew and the shrimp toast appetizer ;-$ I'll have to take my daughter to try it! This place is gonna get popular real soon! I enjoyed having the place to myself this evening after the work day I had. *There is parking in the back of the restaurant, since the street parking is tricky read more

Great food, but high prices for such small portions. As a result, this could never be my neighborhood go-to...and I only live 2 blocks away.

Like others have said, the owner is a gem. An added bonus is that the food is really good. I originally ordered some dishes to go, but Steve recommended that I dine in, he said the food is much tastier that way. He wasn't wrong. I pointed out some new breakfast items that they had and they look unique and fantastic. My next visit will be earlier in the day to try those dishes. He also has a fantastic collection of wine that he is excited to share. You can't go wrong with a meal here. read more

Spelling Thai Bistro - Pad See Ew. Delicious - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The food was amazing! From the surprising empanadas to the must get papaya salad, the food is all delicious! Other winners include the crab curry, the roasted duck over rice, and the khao soi! This is an amazing family run restaurant. They care and the cuisine is top notch! read more

NEW OBSESSION!!! I had the best experience ever going here. I went with my best friend & ordered a number of items from the menu. In general, Pad See Ew is a simple dish, but very easy to mess up. This place has it completely down. I had mine with chicken (the best way to have it) and it was delicious. They add a number of vegetables in it that are steamed to deliciousness. The quarter Roasted Duck was pretty good. I wouldn't say it's anything crazy but I enjoyed trying it. My friend got a curry noodle soup & it was absolutely phenomenal. Pretty spicy to be weary of that. I was obsessed with how it tastes like just trustttttt. The vanilla iced coffee is a straight 10/10. This place is so underrated it's almost sad. The family who owns this place are so hospitable, I felt so happy the whole time. Super attentive service. 100/10 in service. read more

Overall, the green curry was delicious, but the crab fried rice was simply okay and green beans were under cooked. I did enjoy the Thai iced tea and mango sticky rice. My mom wasn't very pleased with her main entree. She really enjoyed the Thai iced tea and spring rolls though. The ambiance and decor were very nice and the servers were friendly, too. read more

Update 9/3/2025: Went again with more company! Duck over Rice - 5/5 - The sauce is absolutely stellar!! If you like rice and you /love/ an amazing sauce, I'd go for this one. Dip that duck in the dark sauce, and tuck it in with some sauced rice, you will have entered to a wonderful mouthful dance. The vegetable might taste bland in comparison, but trust me... it's a great balance to the overall dish. I personally ate every last grain possible. And the vegetable was demolished. That's how good it is!! Crab Noodle Curry - 5/5 - I'm going to order this again! I have mild spicy tolerance but this was so worth it! If you eat this, pace yourself with some of their Thai tea. Mix all the side ingredients and crab meat and noodles with a spoonful of curry! There was no shell on the crab, and the noodles are SO SOFT, they aren't sticking together. Mango Sticky Rice - 5/5 - Wow this blew me away! It's not peak Mango season but they managed to present a mango almost like it's peak. The crispy rice on top was the right texture I didn't know I was craving with combination of the coconut sauce and mango. Chicken Sate - 4/5 - Great appetizer! This was really delicious just wish there was more meat. The salad is delicious with the sauce too. Thai Ice Tea - 5/5 - As someone that tasted a lot of thai tea that's catered to the mass.. this one is a lot more mild in comparison. It's the perfect assistant I needed to eat the crab noodle curry. Unchan - Butterfly Pea with Lime - 5/5 - I love how this was fun to mix together and it was tasty! Coconut water - 5/5 - if you like coconut water, can't go wrong here! Bathroom - Yes; one of the cleanest bathrooms I've seen around. Parking - Street parking is plentiful past 7PM. Overall, service is really friendly and fast. I waited at most 8-10 minutes from ordering. They give you ordering tablets for the same table # and once you send your order they will confirm availability and proceed with your order - this is much appreciated rather than wait a while and be told that the dish is unavailable. They are more than happy to also give you recommendations, if you want. I believe most of these dishes are best eaten right then and there in house as they are served at the optimal window. If you choose to eat any of these at home as leftover especially the curry noodles.. be sure to add some water to re-hydrate and loosen up the noodles. warm the curry separately. Make your own vegetables like green beans. read more

Tried this brand new restaurant that just opened up last year. Amazing food, amazing service, and a bighearted owner who cares about his customers' experiences. Very clean establishment. We had the chicken satay, tom yum fried rice, pad see ew, and panang duck. For drinks we tried the thai tea and purple butterfly tea. Amazing food and drinks. There is also free parking in the back of the restaurant! Please check this place out. read more

This family owned spot is such a gem! First off, they have parking in the back, which is a huge perk. The family who owns the restaurant took such good care of us, and their food was delicious. Pad thai was authentic and everything was flavored just right. The space is modern and super cute. Highly recommend visiting this spot!! read more

Absolutely incredible Thai food! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The restaurant itself was immaculate and extremely clean, and everyone working there was genuinely kind and welcoming. I've lived in Los Angeles for 13 years, and this is personally some of the best Thai food I've had in LA--and I'm definitely not the easiest person to please! I ordered the Mongolian beef, cucumber salad, and mango sticky rice, and every single dish was a 10/10. I will absolutely be back. Highly recommend! read more

Spelling Thai Bistro - Tom Kha Soup / Salad (Thai-Style) or Grilled Tofu - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Another hidden gem I recently discovered! Came back for a second visit less than a week later because I couldn't stop craving their crispy pork and Spelling Thai Omelette. Came here with friends the first time and all five of us loved everything we ordered. Didn't get photos of every dish, but the pork ribs curry was the standout. So flavorful and tender, definitely a must-order. The ambiance is serene with a slightly upscale feel, perfect for date nights or a chill dinner. Service was excellent. Food came out quickly and everything tasted fresh. The owner, Steve, was very kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Parking was easy and convenient too. Highly recommend. I hope more people discover this gem! read more

The food is an absolute staple in my neighborhood. I've been here 3 times and had the absolute most consistent service! The Thai ice tea is perfectly sweetened. Not too sweet and not too bland, just PERFECT. The cashew nut chicken is a healthy and delicious chicken vegetable dish paired with a side of white rice, it is absolutely delectable. The dining room is so cute and homie, I feel like my own parents are running the restaurant, very beautiful to see. I've also ordered this before for takeout and it is always delicious. The owner even offered a delicious coconut ice cream that has the perfect sweetness level. Not too sweet, not too bland. Really tops off the ending of a meal. Highly recommend this place! read more

Great Thai place for a group. Papaya salad was a significant portion and mild enough to enjoy, spice levels could be adjusted. The crab curry noodles came with the sauce on the side, that one was my favorite. We also tried the pad see ew, Thai omelet, duck, and crab fried rice and everything was great. Ordering was via a tablet and street parking was easy on a Sunday. The owners were so welcoming and attentive, they let us bring our own wine and cake for my friend's birthday too! Hope to come back soon! read more

These spring rolls were SUPERIOR! So fresh! Herbs and everything!!! I would come back just for them! Sauce was DELICIOUS. Pad See Yew smelled so good. Needed the chili sauce. But they did supply it and it was great. Probably I'll get it with chicken next time instead of duck. Service and ambiance were on point! Exactly what i needed to calm my nerves mid day. read more

Loved this place, it was very good quality food! I got the pad see ew and spicy fried rice and they gave enough food to split both in half for two people. The price was not too bad and I loved that they had a tablet for each person at the table. Ordering was easy. It was also very nicely decorated and the restroom was spacious and clean. I would come back here again to have a nice meal but I absolutely do not like the parking situation. Nothing much you can do in LA when it comes to parking but that would be the main reason I would not make it back. read more

The restaurant owners were a friendly couple, who provided us great service. It had a charming atmosphere with cute wall decorations. We ordered traditional dishes - walnut shrimp, chicken pad see ew and crab fried rice. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors delicious. My favorite was the jumbo sized walnut shrimp. They used real crab instead of imitation, which added to the overall quality of the fried rice. This is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys Asian cuisine. read more

My neighbor and I wanted to try this place. I went on my own for lunch and had the roasted duck with Jade noodles. Well that meal was SO so good. I will definitely be back. The owners are so sweet. It's so important to support small business owners. I will be back and let my other neighbors know how yummy this place is. Also, they use only organic. As for parking, I did see a sign parking around back, but I street parked. read more

Terrific little place! My husband and I stopped by here for lunch after visiting the La Brea Tar Pits. The waitress was very nice and prompt. We Had a wonderful Thai lunch... every thing was fresh, a very nice veggie pad thai and chow mein. Not too spicy... just right on the seasoning and both dishes were very delicious. The Waitress mentioned that they were having a special 4th of July dinner... too bad we will no longer be in town! I would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

We found this place pretty late as they have been open for at least 5 months. To be frank, there's not a lot of great food options in miracle Mile. A lot of the restaurants that open up on La Brea don't seem to last long. Overall, the restaurant is quite attractive and modern. It almost looks like a nightclub versus a traditional tie hole-in-the-wall restaurant. The ladies that work here are all Thai, especially the chef, which is important. As you would expect, they are lovely ladies and great at making you feel welcome. Our waitress even gave us a free dessert that was quite tasty. The food itself was good, but for the price we expected more of it. It's definitely a place you'll enjoy the flavors, but you won't be filled up from the food. They also serve American breakfast now, I think it's only on the weekends. It's a bit odd to see American food on the menu option. Overall, I recommend trying this place out. It's a pricier dining experience, but the atmosphere and the food flavor make up for it. Make sure to ask for the Thai spice tray to try on your food. read more

Charming spot with great service. I got the impression it's family owned and everyone really cares about the place. Ordered pad Thai, crab fried rice , and red curry.

This place has been on my radar for a few months, for a quest to find the top 10 Thai restaurants in LA. I was 20 mins early for dinner so I sat down quietly and observed the owner and his wife talking and serving the guests. These two are so nice and genuine to guests. The actual food itself was tremendous, all the dishes hit all the notes and flavorful. The Pad Thai was the best I have had in LA. Will be coming back again soon. read more
