    #1-chicken teriyaki w/ double green salad. Very tasty
    Ray M.

    Located in a very small strip mall across the street from White Memorial Hospital, this small restaurant serves some of the most delicious food anywhere in Los Angeles. This place is EXTREMELY popular, as evidenced by the number of customers who came and went with food. My family and I sat in our car while we had lunch, and we counted 29 customers who entered the restaurant during a fifteen-minute period The menu is clearly posted on the walls in front and behind the counter. All employees are very friendly, efficient, and hard-working; the prices are GREAT for the portion sizes; the food is perfectly prepared and DELICIOUS!! Parking is very limited in the small private parking lot. Street parking is also available. There are no tables or seating inside the restaurant, so be prepared to pick up your order and go. This is definitely a place to visit and worth the drive, regardless of where you live.

    Mostly fat

    Unfortunately they never answer there phone. Place is very small. Food is decent. Ordered a few plates. One of the rib plates had so much fat on the rib that's all it was. Fat! I live a hour away from there otherwise I would've taken it back. The chicken was a bit dry. I feel like if they left it under the warmers for a while.

    Pad Thai

    Can't go wrong with Thai Deli, food is fresh to order and delicious! My favorite combo is Chili Shrimp and the Pad Thai! Cash only!

    Metal ball that was inside my beef ribs.

    I don't usually make bad reviews but this needed attention This place was my go to for lunch breaks, but after an incident I stopped coming here. I found a small pellet gun ammo type of ball inside my beef ribs. Almost broke my tooth! Make sure your food is safe to eat! We shouldn't be eating metal or lead in our body ! Besides that incident, the staff here are great and quick.

    #8 Korean BBQ Beef & Thai BBQ Chicken
    Katie C.

    Hole in a wall, more of a grab and go spot. I can see why it gets busy during lunch rushes. Definitely need to stop by more for lunch. #25 Pad Se Ew -so flavorful and a bang for your buck! You can really taste the wok heat. Noodles were bouncy. Saucy but not too wet. We ordered with shrimp. Shrimp was fresh, crisp with a snap. What more can you ask for. #8 Korean BBQ Beef & Thai BBQ Chicken -beef was a little chewier than I prefer but still really flavorful and tender enough. Chicken was juicy and well marinated. Chicken curry was good but not the best. I would stick to their other dishes.

    Tasty food with large portions at a great price $ I ordered the Thai bbq chicken plate. It comes with fried rice and a salad, paired with the sweet sauce they use chef's kiss! I placed a large order for 8 ppl and the service was incredible. The gentleman that answered the phone was so helpful. The inside is small and parking can get tough so i recommend order for take out/pick up

    Good food, great prices, pickup only, cash only. Start with the # 1, go double mac if you don't like burger toppings as salad (I don't mind it). Interior leaves a little too be desired, but I'm there to pickup my lunch & go, so....‍ Parking in the lot can be chaotic, best if you have a pal to circle the block while you go in to get the food. Staff is very focused & do their best to be friendly while very busy. I usually call in about 15 min ahead, but it can take longer when real busy.

    Crispy , Golden Egg Rolls  (Get the 3 piece..1 is not enough)
    Nayled R.

    Located in a small plaza with a tricky one way parking lot lies a diamond in the rough. As you enter , your eyes get lost in the big pictured, outdated menu. The sound & smell of grill marks becomes intoxicating. A cop walks in, your body tenses up. "NEXT! How may I help you?"Breaks you away from your trance. I love this place! CASH ONLY. No dine in. Very busy due to deliciousness. pager provided so you can chill in your car until your order is ready. I advise calling in your order if you are in a rush. Egg rolls are a must try, you will find yourself willing to sit in rush hour traffic for the crunch itself ‍

    Is it Thai? Is it Deli? It's neither and both all at once. It speaks for itself when you roll into the parking lot of a shopping plaza and they have a security guiding cars in and out. Hawaiian style Mac salad short ribs with healthy amounts of meat and perfectly seasoned and cooked chicken. Too much food for one sitting I killed the Mac salad and some of the protein in the most popular #8, and made a meal out of the Leftover by adding some broccoli. Also had the beef pad see ew and was also delicious. A new favorite, Call ahead and go with a partner to jump out and take your food to go to a nearby park and enjoy some of that LA sunshine. CASH ONLY and a great value.

    Menu as of July 21, 2025
    Angelica T.

    As always, delicious food. Even better... Now they offer a matcha green tea, which is an absolute favorite of mine! They also offer party trays but you have to ask them about it and how much. We called in ahead and got a half order of short ribs, some pad see ew and macaroni on the side and we had a feast. Only downside is cash only if they would only take zelle, this place would be perfect.

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.

The regular menu is quite expensive with the cheapest at $17 for appetizer and salad options and most expensive at a whooping $80. The lunch menu was more affordable but still on the pricey side $21-$32 with add on options. The waitress was taking our orders and what surprised me was with my co-worker ordered the pad see ew and the waitress asked her how spicy she wants it. I was aw shocked. I'm not a Thai food expert but I do know pad see ew is a noodles dish that's offers a sweet soy sauce flavor. Never served spicy. I didn't get to try the dish but when I asked my co worker how it taste she said it was spicy and not sweet at all. I'm not sure that was an authentic pad see ew. I ordered from the lunch menu and got the tumeric chicken, with steamed vegetables and paid extra $7 to substitute for a papaya salad. I asked for #2 spice level but it was not spicy at all. Other co workers said they asked for medium but it was way too spicy. So it looks like their spicy levels are inconsistent. I'm not sure how this restaurant can justify the prices with the quality they are serving. Probably won't be back. Service was mediocre. Didn't offer to refill our waters. Parking is metered parking or paid lot.
