The bat wings are legendary and well worth the visit. Small and intimate bar, perfect for getting into conversation about plotting for the downfall of the central banks. The owner is kind and local music acts will make an appearance. Always a good time at Thai Angel. (During a flight delay in Cabo, I met a guy wearing a Thai Angel hat. Instant new friend. Thanks Thai Angel!) read more

It is with a heavy heart that I report that this place didn't do it for me. I understand this is a dive-bar type spot so I wasn't expecting sit down restaurant level service or anything special. Despite this, the energy here was kind of awful? Maybe it was because it was pretty soon after opening. I don't know, but the staff seemed frustrated with something and it transferred over to their interactions with us. The food was fine, nothing to write home about. But it was kind of overshadowed by the feeling that my friends and I weren't welcome. I cant say if the drinks were good because they never came by to take our drink orders and the bartender was nowhere to be found lol. It's unfortunate, but I would not recommend. read more

Came here for World Cup games. The bartenders were very sweet and everyone was hype. There is more space in the back

Oh my Gosh !!!!!! So exciting i finally found an amazing hole in the wall that actually makes pad thai that's actually authentic that doesn't gauge on the pricing & has very friendly servers !!!! I can't wait to go back !!! Love love love !!!! read more

Jumped in for the first time to catch up with a friend over beers and Thai food and guess what, I had a great first time! Ordered the Pad See Ew and it was SCRUMPTIOUS! Literally didn't want to carry on any conversation once I had the first bite untill I finished the whole plate...it was that GOOD! Otherwise, staff is friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere is a perfect dive bar setting: small, intimate, chill, nice tunes and not too loud = max vibes! Definitely a neighbor favorite for me!! read more

Thai Angel - Pad See Ew - Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My favorite restaurant and bar. The best of the best. Killer food and drinks, the friendliest staff. Five stars for sure!

A gem of a place. Transported me back to the 90s, Thai punk palace with 90s soundtracks. Patrons all very cool authentic, a scene but not too sceny. Upstairs has a tea room with a total chill vibe. Food here was super super good, was throughly surprised! Ask for a shot of Ya Dong! Service was very chill, super nice. read more

Ironically- still have yet to eat here. Haha. But the vibes are great- everyone is friendly- staff and Patrons. It's a family run spot- so tip your bartender and be nice. It'll go far. Haven't been there in a loooooong while. But it was fun every time I would step into Thai Angel. read more

Loveeeeee this place!!! The crab fried rice is realllllly good. Perfect place to get a bite and drink on the way home from work!

went in on a weekday at around 7pm when I went in, there were only 2 customers seated and in the middle of eating and drinking. I sat at the bar and ordered within a minute or two of sitting at the bar. I thought it shouldn't take too long because I was only one of 3 customers, but it actually too an awkward amount of time. This place has ZERO beers on tap, which made me very disappointed because I yelp-searched "beer bars nearby", but I was misinformed. I ordered a kirin beer that was barely cold, and within a couple of minutes it was not cold anymore because it was a hot day. The lady-bartender was nice, but she did something very odd, which was she thoroughly rinsed a big wad of cash in the sink of the bar, and it was so weird to see that. Then she just dried her hands, but she didn't wash her own hands, and she continued with serving food and drink. That didn't seem very hygenic. I ate the pad-Thai noodles, which were so-so at best. It was about 24 dollars for a small plate of noodles and the warm-bottle of beer. That's not including the tip. Overall, very unimpressive! read more

Found out this place was actually a bar they were just about to close the kitchen when we came in, but they were very nice to just do our order which is why they get five stars just going out of their way. Everyone really enjoyed their food the fried tofu was really soft in the middle. I didn't like that but other than that, everything was great service was great cool vibe and ambience. Definitely have to come back here for a drink read more

This place is such a gem. A great selection of drinks and the staff is so friendly! Everyone here seems to be regulars and there is such a friendly and high energy going around. Also had some late night pad Thai. Better than any Thai restaurant in town because it was made with love. Will definitely return for another great time here. Thanks Thai Angel!! read more

This is the most reasonable place in LA. Their pad see ew was only $13. And it was good. I didn't think this bar had a full Thai restaurant menu but they do and you should try it. read more

Vibey neighborhood gem with excellent food and great service. Jaime and Bella are exceptional hosts and will not lead you astray. Don't sleep on the hot toddy or the shot of herbal delight yah dong. Will be back with more patrons. A spot to be shared with the masses. Come eat! read more

HOLY S#!+!!!! We were looking for a Thai place after a full day of activities and we noticed that this place was open until 2 am! This little hole in the wall might look intimidating because of the red lighting and ambiance but don't let it stop you from getting inside! Very limited tables when we went, not sure if the upstairs is open during the day. The tables are very small. Only for 2 persons. However, food was INCREDIBLE. The chef knows what he's doing. We ordered the Thai iced tea, shrimp wraps, drunken noodles, pad Thai and the mama noodle soup! The Thai iced tea was okay. Less sweet than usual. But the food was amazing! read more

Way better than it has a right to be. Looks like a dive bar, which is part charming, part "ugh, more red light," but when you get inside, you get all of the advantages (kitsch! disco balls!) without the disadvantages (weekday hipster crowds, noise). Drinks aren't cheap but not insane either, and pack a punch. Menu is limited/cliched, but what they made (drunken noodles, etc.) were all shockingly good considering how unadventurous the offerings were. Super-charming, and will go back. Highly recommend the alcohol in fresh coconut as well. read more

I was at another restaurant and was very disappointed. So my boyfriend and I went on yelp during the dinner to go somewhere else. We came across Angel Thai. I am so satisfied. I feel like we should've ordered the whole menu. Jamie is really nice and the sauces are homemade. Each dish comes with a different one as well. They also have chakra inspired type wellness drinks alcohol free as well. Apparently this place turns into a huge party scene as well. I want to come back because they have a spiked Thai tea I didn't get to try. They were also just featured in the La times. I read her story and so inspired. I'm also a reiki practitioner so it made eating there that more special. I cannot wait to come back. My bf and I are already sad we left! read more

I will absolutely be coming back I was there for a speaker event, but got the Pad Thai and Mint Julep (perfect on the hot day) as I was watching. Jamie gave me water when I was choking, a charger for my dead phone, and a mandarin from her garden before I left. As someone who was there by myself, I couldn't have felt more comfortable! read more

Thai angel? More like Thai devil. Food was bland, service was mid, and worse than that, they asked our table of four to move for another party of the same size while we were still finishing our drinks. Don't go unless you're ok with standing by the door with plenty of open tables. Go to Baskin Robbin's instead xoxo gossip girl read more

Came here for my birthday on 03/29/26- my girl and i were honestly super excited to try this spot. We sit at the bar, we are greeted by who i think is the owner, and she inquires about what drinks we'd like. immediately, my girlfriend says she wants a pina colada. the lady explains they don't have the ingredient to make that, but suggests their signature coconut drink instead saying it tastes very similar. reluctantly my girlfriend agrees, and our drinks are prepared. we ordered food when the drinks were brought and waited. as we started sipping on our drinks, i realized my girlfriend wasn't enjoying hers. i asked what was wrong and she said the drink tasted nothing like a pina colada. i tried it- that drink was straight bacardi poured into coconut water. it was awful. i asked if i could get a replacement for her and she said no and just wanted to eat. the food was pretty solid, it was fresh and tasty. the biggest issue however, came when we tried to approach the drink issue with the bartender/owner lady. we quietly called her over, an my girlfriend softly and kindly explained that she barely took 2-3 sips of her drink because it wasn't what she asked for and if there was any possible way to have it partially or fully removed from the bill. the lady rudely started shaking her head, loudly yelling back, "no we don't give samples here. this isn't a sample bar. you still have to pay for it. i don't know what you want me to tell you!" we were taken back, as we approached this so kindly so this response was completely unwarranted. it even gathered the attention of all other patrons at the bar and booths because of how loud she was. i intervened at this point because i didn't appreciate how my girlfriend was being spoken to. i stated to her that we were not asking for samples, nor did we have an issue paying for everything, but we were asking to SEE if it was possible to have something that we hated taken off of the bill. she says, "oh you hate it? you tried it?" i said "yes and i almost spit it out. she asked you for something like a pina colada and this isn't it. " she walked away and then sent the kinder kitchen help worker to bring our bill (which still had the terrible coconut drink on it) to us. she hid in the kitchen until we left. i seldom am so bothered by an experience that i leave a review, but that lady is unwell. and she seems to be the face of the entire spot, which is tragic. do better. read more

Every time I come to LA I make it a point to stop by and have some food. feels like my aunties cooking. great customer service and amazing food love it here!!!!!!! the vibes are on point. read more

Absolutely adore this spot! The food is cheap and amazing and the drinks are some of the largest and most delicious cocktails I've ever gotten! Great ambiance and the staff are so nice and friendly and I wish I could go here every day as a result. read more

The pad Thai was absolutely amazing and every bit of what I had the taste for, bartender was very attentive and polite was working the entire bar and booth by herself and still made sure to check in every few minutes, I will for sure be coming back to try more dishes the kitchen closed as I finished up my pad Thai, looking forward to my next visit here. read more

Thai Angel - Tom Yum Soup - Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

So let me start off with a few things... *They have been here for 5 years now *I'm ashamed last night was my first time here *THEY ARE FAMILY OWNED AND AMAZING My good friend and co worker had been telling me about this spot for a long time and I'm so excited I finally got to make it there. I now have a new favorite spot in Koreatown which is something I've been looking for, for along time ! They are also open late which is EVERYTHING right now since a lot of places close early. Not only did angel herself bartend and serve us but her parents who have owned the restaurant for 5 years were in there preparing our food as well ! Not only was the atmosphere very unique and fun, The food was so good I had to order more food to go for breakfast at work the next day ! The shrimp kra pow is my new favorite thing on earth, the pad Thai was AMAZING ! The color is not like a usual looking pad Thai but don't let that fool you it's better then the usual especially because the lack of orange coloring is only because they don't use added food coloring or preservatives!!!!!!! The cream cheese wontons and shrimp wraps were such good appetizers ! And the sauce trays glow in the dark ! Had such a good time and such good food, I told the owners they'd be seeing me weekly and I'm not lying ! 20 stars ! read more

This bar is a hidden gem. Really cool bar if you're looking for a place that isn't too busy on a weekday. Doesn't feel like a creepy place. They usually have a DJ. The bartender tonight, she was super cool! Definitely coming back. The only con, if you're driving, which you shouldn't be for a bar lol, no parking in the area. Lol read more

great wings ! great drinks ! Great service !everything was excellent ! 10/10 highly recommend !

Food was incredible not just for a "bar", this was on par with the best I've gotten outside of Siam and maybe within. Plus the drinks are great and they've actual Thai whiskies stocked ‍ read more

Great prices, ambiance, and yummy food. Cant wait to go back! Hope next time I catch the karaoke

Service is great, the bartender was kind and personable. Their food however is absolutely DISGUSTING. I'm sure they only have good stars because of the drinks. read more

Came here around 12 am. Ordered pad Thai, chicken skewers, cream cheese wontons, steamed rice with a fried egg. Lots of street parking since we came so late. Food took a little long to get to the table since there's only one cook back there according to their signage. Skewers are a small portion but they taste good, their cucumber dipping sauce was great. It was a little off putting to eat in their red lighting and not be able to see the food properly. Cream cheese wonton is literally just cream cheese in a wonton wrapper lol no green onion or seasoning so I wouldn't order it again. My friend enjoyed his pad Thai, I didn't care for it. Their tables are small so we didn't have a lot of room when our food came. I ordered a ya dong and couldn't help but laugh when it came out, it was served in the smallest vessel I'd ever seen. Maybe an ounce of vodka steeped in herbs, a warning of the size or flavor from the bartender would've been appreciated but ya live and ya learn. The service is... interesting. Definitely feels like a bar that happens to serve food and not a restaurant with a bar. Our tab was about 60 dollars which seemed high considering the quality, not sure id come back But if you're hungry at midnight they're open. read more

I hate restaurants that can't make an effort to get their online orders situated. And who are rude when clearly the issue is on them. I placed an order via DoorDash and came to get it after 20mins and the owner who was at the bar said we don't do DoorDash and haven't in five years...excuse well then take down your store off the site it's not that hard. I just drove outta my way and paid actually money. She couldn't even cancel my order. She didn't offer to take my order. She didn't care at all and just walked away while talking to me. So rude and careless. Do your customers a favor and remove your restaurant from ordering apps! It'll probably save you a customer or two. I definitely don't plan on eating here after this experience. read more

Thai Angel - Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Got to try both the pad thai and the pad kee mow, and they were both delicious. But the best part of this place is the proud and authentic owner Jamie. There is a rich history of dedication as she has loyal followers that come, and rightfully so. Ambiance has a presence of fun times and service from Jamie, her stories as a proud mother of her children, just make the experience well worth it. read more

I know this is a bar but I don't drink.. ambiance is amazing though. Used to love coming here for the food specifically. The food was authentic and was very fairly priced bc the portion was a little smaller. I got to meet the owner and she is Thai and was very friendly. I think they just raised their prices though bc I ordered Drunken Noodles to go and they charged me 17 instead of 10. I guess it's still fair though because where are you gonna find Thai food open until 2am? read more

Thai Angel - Drunken noodles with beef - Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Thai Angel has become one of my favorite places to have drinks and grab a bite! The drinks are great, the food is delicious, and the owner is a stellar person!! The service is great and there's a lot of fun events hosted throughout the month. It's a fun and cozy ambiance that makes you not want to leave. Try the noodles! read more

There's really no other way to say it, this shxt SLAPS it's totally unassuming in the front and an absolute VIBE when you walk in. From the staff to the dive-Thai aesthetic it's just a positive experience. And the FOOD!! The food is amazing! As a Thai food newbie I generally stick with the Pad Thai and Shrimp/Crab Fried Rice (salivating thinking about it), but I also love that I can ask the staff to surprise me with a dish without judgement and it ALWAYS BE DELICIOUS! 10/10, A-1, excellent spot. Your welcome. read more

Had a great time at Thai Angel. Got the chance to order the bucket of the Soi Cowboy. Tasted awesome and was perfect for 3 people. But I have to say my highlight of the night was the soup!! Truly compliments to the chef. Added just the right amount of warmth and savory flavor after enjoying a sweet iced drink :) read more

Great little dive. Owner is super sweet. Greeted us with her secret brew. P'Jamie shared her Roti and Garlic Bread with us. The fried wontons was perfect with our . We karaoked through the night. read more

Unfortunately, this message on IG was never opened, so I have to put it here. Hey Jamie Hope you've been well. I went to Thai Angel tonight, and unfortunately, you were not there. I ordered the Thai sausage, and that was amazing. However, I can't say the same for the Drunken Noodles and Sa tey Chicken. I love Thai Angel, i think you're an amazing host, but tonight, I was heartbroken. The drunken noodles were not drunk. They were just plain white noodles. Almost flavorless. I ordered them with pork, and it tasted like the meat was about to go bad. My friend tasted it and didn't even know if it was pork... The quality of the chicken was not great. The texture was not where it was supposed to be, and the flavor was subpar AT BEST. I'm not happy to have to deliver this message, but I'd rather reach out here than write a review.
