I've been here three times and food and service is always great. I've tried their khao soy twice now and it's pretty good; the soup is full of flavors and the chicken is so soft. I didn't realize it could come with other meats, every other place I've gotten it at only serves it with chicken. The portions are large and enough for seconds. My family got the mango chicken, panag curry, and curry noodles. All of the food was devoured. Their cocktails are also super delicious! The ambiance in this place is super cute and a perfect spot for dinner with a large group. They do charge a large party fee of 20% for groups of 6 or more so something to consider! read more

Thai By Trio - KHAO SOY NOODLE, PANANG CURRY - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was so impressed by this restaurant. The decor is so cute! I love the home-vibe plates with roosters on them. Very charming. I liked all the murals. Only thing that was distracting and a maybe negative was how loud the restaurant can get. Due to the acoustics inside, every clang of a glass, every silverware hitting the plate, every voice or laugh were amplified and it almost was overwhelming. Aside from that - the food was all delicious. I tried the pineapple fried rice, bbq pork fried rice, yellow curry and tom kha soup. I loved all of it. Despite the noise I am very excited to return and bring a friend. I'll know what to anticipate! Another strong positive was our server was such a nice man! He was kind and attentive with a friendly disposition which is always, always so nice to experience. read more

My order was a Take out and they didn't have the sauce I prefer but the paste... didn't care until I got home and opened it. That when I burned myself. It's filled to the top. So be care if you're ordering online or take out. The food was okay. The service can be better. Very clean. read more

Thai By Trio - Small soup spilled on me - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A go-to spot with great food conveniently located right by USC. I've visited innumerable times over the past few years, and every visit has been amazing. The interior of the store features beautiful decor and plenty of seating. It tends to get pretty busy with students on weekends, but there's never too long of a wait. The service is standard: the waiters do tend to rush along your meal. I've tried a variety of dishes here, and they've all been fantastic. I love the classic pad thai with chicken. The Thai red curry is another delicious option, a sweet and spicy coconut curry with bamboo shoot and bell pepper. The portion sizes are generous, and each meal is seasoned to perfection. For dessert, the mango sticky rice is solid, and the mangos are always perfectly sweet and ripe. Definitely one of my most frequented restaurants in LA, and I've never had a bad meal here! read more

Been coming here for years, have ordered several items off the menu. Take out, dine in or delivery, one of my "go-to's" in this neighborhood. The food has been consistent over time and the service and staff are good people. The restaurant moved to a better location 2 blocks away, if you enjoy Thai food, this is a good option in the area. Some of my favorites are the dumplings, spring rolls, Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, drunken noodle with a thai tea. A nice laid back and comfy spot for lunch or dinner. read more

Love love love this place! Went with some friends and got an array of things to share. We loved it all. The mango sticky rice is a must when you're there! It's so creamy, flavorful and all hits the spot. The spicy rib eye salad, curry fried rice, pad see ew, pho,and edamame are on the savory side. Then the tom kha soup and curry are on the sweeter side. While the mango chicken and fried wontons and pork bites with their respective sauces are a great combo of sweet and savory! The only thing that I least enjoyed was the berry tsunami because the first few sips tasted like medicine but after some mixing and after the ice melted, it tasted as fresh as the berries mottled and the one on the rim. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Went to Thai by Trio for lunch with friends and was so impressed! The Buddha dumplings were the best I've ever had--light, flavorful, and topped with an amazing green curry sauce. The Hainan chicken was juicy with a perfect citrus dip, and the drunken noodles had that sweet, tangy, authentic Thai flavor. The staff were super nice and gave great recommendations on our first visit. Easily one of my new favorite Thai spots in LA! read more

There was also a lot of plant based options and the food was very customizable. I got to choose my spice level and protein. The side salad came with a delicious sauce and the egg rolls had a delicious veggie filling. Overall wonderful experience and I'll definitely be back. read more

I always recommend this Thai spot to anyone - but it's definitely a go to spot if you are a USC student! Food = Amazing and great pricing/portions. Service = Great but typical LA experience where they try to ask if they can take your plate when its semi-empty. Employees are very hospitable and kind! They bring the tap to pay mechanism to your table. Ambiance = Moody dim lighting, and the wood accents make for a great experience. Very high ceilings and love to come chat with friends here! My go to = Drunken noodle mild spicy level with beef and a thai milk tea! Parking = yes! go into the side street. My recommendation 5/5 come back! read more

Excellent service, kind waiters, good food, and yummy dessert. We ordered tom kha, papaya salad, drunken noodles and mango sticky rice. The parking situation was kinda challenging - parked outside but its one hour parking so I had to leave and come back before getting ticketed. read more

Pretty darn good! Came in for a midweek lunch with a coworker and decided to keep it light with a bowl of Tom Yum soup and shared an order of chicken satay. Both delicious! Happy that I could get the soup in a small portion. Would have got the combo but I can't do $18+ lunches anymore! Service was fine, atmosphere cute, small parking by entering the side of the building. read more

Thai by Trio is very convenient for large groups of people, especially since they have a lot of big tables and the food is served very quickly. We had a group of 10 and were seated immediately. I got the drunken noodles with beef and it had a good level of spice and sweetness, but I wasn't a fan of the quartered tomato (??) and the raw cabbage that wasn't incorporated into the dish otherwise. It would also be better with a bit more vegetable, since I felt the ratio was otherwise off. read more

I was so excited to find a Thai restaurant near my house. I really wanted to love it but it didn't quite get there. The restaurant itself is quite lovely it's open and spacious and very nice ambience and decor, it's a nice place to go out to eat which is very much needed in the area. I had minimal interaction with the staff but the staff was pleasant in my dealings. I ordered the Thai fried rice w/ fried tofu but I needed the rice vegetarian style - egg was OK but no fish sauce no oyster sauce in the preparation - and unfortunately it was pretty bland. Particularly the fried tofu had no flavor. I have of course had plenty of Thai fried rice over the years and by comparison - to say my favorite place up in Santa Barbara - this was really lacking in flavor. I had to rely on soy sauce and what have you. I would try this place again just because it's such a lovely restaurant but hopefully they can get a seasoning situation together. read more

Never disappoints! A nice curry on a cold, rainy day hits the spot! Have come here twice and got the Thai Green Curry both times! The curry is rich in flavor, tender chicken, and has a spicy kick to it. The chicken satay was also very tasty. I also would recommend the Thai Green Milk Tea and Thai Iced Tea if you want a fun drink! The inside is very spacious and has lots of seating that accommodates different party sizes. read more

The portion did not meet the price and also, when I was dining in and I asked to pay the bill I was asked to put a bigger tip because the server wasn't satisfied with the tip that I left ?, I was honestly appalled with this kind of behavior the Better Business Bureau should come down and check out the work ethics on this place read more

The young girl with glasses was extremely rude. I went in to order egg rolls, mango sticky rice, and a Thai tea. They didn't have the sticky rice, so I changed my order to just Pad Thai. She rang me up for egg rolls, Pad Thai, and the tea. I corrected her, saying I didn't want the egg rolls, but she insisted "they're already making it." It had been less than a minute and I hadn't even paid yet. When I asked to cancel, she made a big fuss, ran to the back, and started speaking in another language with a hostile tone. Meanwhile, another older woman (who I didn't realize was an employee because she was playing on her phone) suddenly barged in front of me to use the iPad without saying excuse me, even bumping into me. Very unprofessional. When the girl handed me my drink, she didn't say a word, then turned her back on me as I left. Horrible service. I should've cancelled the whole order. Customers aren't obligated to pay for something just because it was "already input" within 20 seconds. read more

Thai by Trio - A Go-To Thai Spot Near USC Thai by Trio is hands-down one of the best Thai restaurants in the USC campus area. Located conveniently near University Park, it draws a steady flow of students and locals alike--for both dine-in meals and quick to-go orders. The interior features a clean, modern design that balances comfort and style. Whether you're grabbing a casual lunch or dining in with friends, the space feels inviting. The food is consistently flavorful and generous in portion size. Some favorites from my visits: Chicken Satay (4 pcs): Perfectly grilled and served with rich peanut sauce, this makes for an ideal starter. Spicy Rib-Eye Salad: A standout dish with tender steak slices that are full of flavor and paired with fresh greens and a spicy kick. Mango Salmon Salad: A refreshing and well-balanced dish--grilled salmon filets with mango slices and crisp veggies make it both light and satisfying. Thai Milk Tea w/ Boba is very popular among the desks while I think it might be too sweet. For mains: Pineapple Fried Rice and Phad Thai are excellent choices. Both are served in generous portions, often enough for two people. The Phad Thai features a sweet-savory balance with a crunch of peanuts and customizable protein options. Green Curry is aromatic and creamy, while the Red and Yellow curries pack more heat--too spicy for my taste, but perfect for chili lovers. Rice would be offered with the curry. Tom Yum Soup is an option too, though I found it a bit too heavy on spices, leaning toward an overpowering profile. Service here is consistently warm and efficient. The staff are friendly and the food is prepared quickly, making it a great option even on a tight schedule. Parking is available in the covered lot behind the apartment complex, which adds to the convenience--something rare around campus. --- In summary, Thai by Trio offers a great balance of taste, price, and speed--a dependable choice near USC for satisfying Thai cuisine. read more

The vibe is great, modern, but warm. There are beautiful illustrations of Thailand on the wall. Good date night spot! The food was brought out much quicker than expected, which is a plus. I ordered the yellow curry with fried tofu. It tasted great, but I have gotten larger portions for the same price at other restaurants. The Thai Green tea milk tea was good, but nothing mindblowing. +$1 for nondairy milk Separate men's and women's restrooms. Wheelchair friendly. read more

What a yummy hidden gem in la for thai food! I love that parking is so convenient. There's a structure with designated spots for the restaurant and it was free parking for an hour (service is quick so you'll be fine!). There's even a tunnel connecting the restaurant to the parking structure. You can tell they were super intentional about the interior. All the decorations look so cohesive and their bar area is so cute! You get to watch them make your drinks. The drinks hit the spot! If you're a ginger lover, nows the time to get creative drinks like the gingerlini! We started off with chicken satay skewers as an app. They were so flavorful I had to stop myself from eating all of them. The mains came out quickly after and we LOVED every single dish. They recommended the ginger scallops and the scallops were perfectly cooked and the sauce complimented it so well! I was hesitant about the crispy mango chicken because I'm anti pineapple on pizza but I'm so glad I took a chance on the dish. It was my FAVORITE. And you can never go wrong with a classic pad thai. TLDR: Order the mango crispy chicken !! read more

Parking: There is metered street parking, but I recommend parking in the structure located behind the restaurant. Make a left or right turn on W 27th St and the structure is on the right. It has free 2 hour parking. After, follow the signs to Thai by Trio. You'll walk through a hallway that leads you to the back of the restaurant. Ambiance/Environment: This is the most modern and aesthetic Thai restaurant I've ever been to. It's very clean with a large space, and it has plenty of indoor seating. Great for large groups! No outdoor seating. They have restrooms for customers. Service: We were greeted and seated right after we walked through. Shout out to all our servers! They took great care of us! Majority of them speak English but some are limited. The cooks were quick and efficient. Throughput was approx 10 minutes. Food & drinks: 1) Popcorn Wonton (appetizer) - Crispy mini wonton stuffed with chicken and cilantro served with peanut sweet sour sauce. These were so crunchy and paired excellent with the sauce! 2) Crispy Mango Chicken (entree) - Crispy chicken with fresh mango, bell peppers, homemade mango sauce, and cashew nuts. This was my favorite dish! It came with a bowl of rice. You can adjust the spice level too, but I kept mine as is. The chicken was cooked well and coated generously with the sauce. It was savory yet sweet. The chunks of mango made it refreshing. 3) Crying Tiger (entree) - Grilled rib eye marinated with Thai spices served with sautéed mixed vegetables. This was my second favorite dish! This also came with a bowl of rice. I requested the meat medium rare. Some pieces were well done but still delicious. It came with a lot of meat! I'm unsure what the sauce was, but it made the meat more juicier. 4) Blushing Dragon (cocktails) - soju, lychee juice, pomegranate juice, fresh lychee. I love lychee, and the taste of lychee still came through. You can still definitely taste the soju. I enjoyed this drink. 5) Purple Rain (cocktails) - soju, butterfly pea tea, mango juice, lemon juice. I was recommended this drink since it's their most popular. Now I know why! Other than its looks, it was also delicious! 6) Jasmine Milk Tea Boba - This is nonalcoholic, of course. Definitely tastes like jasmine milk tea, and the boba was decently chewy. Can't mess up a classic boba drink. 7) Thai Milk Green Tea Boba - This is also nonalcoholic. This is what you call a Thai green tea! The layers were visibly nice, and I also really enjoyed this drink. Pricing: I'd say it's worth the price! Portions are shareable and fulfilling. Even I wasn't able to finish my dish, and I eat A LOT. read more

The food at Thai By Trio tastes good, but the portion sizes didn't match the price point. Hoping they increase the portions. It's terrible because the flavors are there. If not they already lost a client and I am speaking for the Latino community. read more

Awesome Thai fusion restaurant near USC! Plenty of metered street parking and easy to find. No outdoor seating, but it's beautiful and spacious inside! The Purple Rain soju cocktail was made with butterfly pea tea, mango and lemon juice. Not too sweet or strong. Their menu is extensive with a mix of Thai, Chinese and Taiwanese cuisine, hence "Trio" in their name. We started with the Buddha Dumplings and Roti Green Curry. Never had green curry on dumplings or roti so thin and crispy. Unique and worth a try. The Spicy Rib-Eye Salad wasn't spicy at all, but was very tender and flavorful. Generous portion too! The dressing was giving sesame and teriyaki. The Yellow Curry was on the mild and runny side, but I liked the coconut and spices that settled. It came with rice as well. The Drunken Noodles satisfied my spicy craving though! A good amount of noods and veggies with your choice of protein. Save room for dessert! The brownies were served warm with vanilla ice cream and strawberries. It was the perfect ending to a nice meal. Cheers for the lovely ambience, delicious food and kind service! read more

Food was ordered mild and it's very spicy portions are extremely small only enough for one person and it is way overpriced. Meat was chewy and description was inaccurate. A lot of things were missing. I ordered the red curry and the yellow curry and I'm really advising you never ever ever order from this restaurant the food is horrible. You don't get what you paid for. It's way overpriced. I have nothing good to say. I just ate a little yellow curry and started vomiting. Must be the chicken cause I can't stop puking!!! Yuk! read more

Now where was this place when I was a grad student at USC? My recent visit to the DTLA area took me to this hip Thai spot that simply impressed me with their vibe and food quality. The menu has a lot of wonderful Thai staples and has a large vegetarian/vegan friendly section. They offer a lot of dishes using soy chicken meat and other accidentally vegan items, making it great to meet all dietary preferences. My friend and I started with their fried tofu ($8) which were pieces of deep-fried firm tofu served with a tangy peanut sauce. For my main, I asked if I could veganize their Khao Soi ($15) by swapping the egg noodle with rice noodles, removing the crispy egg noodles topping, and swapping the meat for soy chicken. They obliged and the dish was heavenly! The yellow curry soup was fantastic by itself with the right amount of spice, the soy meat was great and packed protein, and the inclusion of thin rice noodles didn't take away from the dish at all. Highly recommend if you want a great Khao Soi. We also ordered their Thai iced teas and they offer oat milk as a non-dairy option (along with boba). Five stars all around for the great food, service, and entire vibe. I will definitely be back. read more

Parking: There's some street parking, but just being the restaurant on 27th there's a parking garage you can go to. When you walk into this restaurant, it's beautifully decorated, there's beautiful art everywhere. I didn't get to take pictures of the place, but trust me when I say its wonderfully decorated. Service was wonderful, they were very attentive and gave us a lot of amazing suggestions! Now on to our order! Drinks: Green Thai Milk Tea - This was very refreshing, there's a floral taste to it. Thai Milk Tea Boba - another great complimentary drink to the food! The boba was a great consistency! Food: Buddha Dumplings - these were amazing with the green curry! The filling was delicious and perfectly spiced! Popcorn Wontons - These were fun to eat! And the dipping sauce was a great compliment to it! We also dipped the dumping into the green curry from the Buddha Dumplings which was also great! Crying Tiger - This was so delicious, loved the tenderness of the meat, the crying tiger sauce was great! We also started dipping the meat into the Spicy Catfish sauce. Spicy Catfish - I will say this is the star of the show! The catfish was perfectly crispy on the outside, melt in your mouth on the inside. The vegetables were tender, and the sauce was great! Wanted a touch more heat, but that's just a personal preference. Mango & Sticky Rice - The perfect finisher for the meal. Light and sweet. Need I say more? All the dishes here made it to the clean plate club! So if you're in the area and looking for delicious Thai food, head here! read more

Was told about this place from a friend so me and the family decided to try it out today. The free parking right behind with it's own garage entrance to the restaurant is nice. No need to venture out in the street to get there. Walking in you can immediately they take pride in their restaurant. The paintings and decorations along the walls with plants just makes this aesthetically beautiful. We were immediately greeted and seated. For lunch the restaurant was not full but there were patrons there. Alot of take out orders too. The menu has just about everything you can think of in terms of Thai food. We started off with their Thai Tea with boba and shrimp tempura. The boba was fresh with a great taste. Just wish it was bigger lol. The tempura came with a sauce which just set it over the top. Definitely order again. For our main dishes we got the Beef Bulgogi, Volcano chicken and Beef Ribeye Pho noodle soup. The star here was the volcano chicken. Half of a marinated BBQ chicken and rice with their sweet chili sauce. This dish right here is what I will be coming back for. The chicken is flavorful and they give you so much. There are so many other things I want to try now reading other peoples reviews that I will definitely be back here! read more

The food is good, usually. Today I found a small hair on my steamed white rice bowl. Also, the young woman wearing glasses was rude. Not once did she asked if everything was ok at our table. She took our order and never asked if we wanted to order more instead she brought the bill. I wanted to place a to go order, so I asked her if she can please add it. She gave me attitude. I always leave tip but this time I felt comfortable not leaving a tip because she was so rude. I asked to speak with the manager. She came back saying the manager was busy in the kitchen. How is it possible that a customer can't speak with the person in charge to take complaints? Anywho, I did say I would write the complaint on yelp. I really liked this place, but I will not be going back anymore. They need to improve their service. read more
