    Really good food--fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Would definitely order again! The customer service is amazing!

    There's a lot of places to eat in this area and we decided to try this one. The waitresses were friendly and it wasn't too crowded at the time we went. We tried: peppercorn curry, papaya salad, jungle curry, crispy pork belly, and roast duck salad with a bucket of rice - which came in a literal bucket! The jungle curry claims to be BOLD flavored because it doesn't use coconut milk. All spicy meals can be controlled to mild medium spicy, and I thought medium wasn't quite spicy enough, so I might go risk spicy next time.

    Came in on a Saturday afternoon to a near empty restaurant. Food came out within 10 minutes. Then the restaurant got packed! Everything we ordered was yummy & well portioned. Soup - Tom Kha (medium level) was sweet & flavorful with just enough spice to feel the kick. I do wish there were more veggies than just mushrooms. Drunken Noodles (+$2 with beef) - Yummy but I think protein should be automatically added but this is LA I guess haha. Pickled Pork Fried Rice - Interesting. Neither of us have had pickled pork before & didn't expect it to come in sausage form. It wasn't bad thankfully & added a lil tang to the fried rice. Crunchy banana rolls - Yummy & wasn't overly sweet. Nice way to finish a hearty lunch. Beverage - Thai teas were ok. I didn't like the young coconut. I'm from Hawaii so I know a good coconut & this just tasted off lol. Overall, I was a little skeptical due to mixed reviews but glad we gave it a try! We left with happy bellies & a good amount of leftovers to indulge in later. Bill wasn't too bad for the amount we got.

    Papaya Salad with Blue Crab
    Sheila T.

    Food in ok. Their cooks are Mexican and it apparent how what we ordered did not taste authentic Thai food especially Thai Pad Woonsen, Crispy Pork with Basil etc. We ordered the Crispy Trout with Mango which was ok. Trout was crispy. Papaya Salad with Blue Crab was ok too. Don't bother with the fish cakes. It was served cold to us and there's nothing outstanding about it. Rice is not appetizing at all. How can someone make a mistake steaming rice? Ambiance is ok. Pay parking after 5 pm and in the weekend. Service is ok.

    One of my favorite Thai places in LA! The server Mina was so friendly and pretty (hehe) . Food is flavorful and lots of seating. I love bringing friends here :))

    When I'm having a bad day I come here and get the $13 steak salad for a full sirloin drenched in the most addictive dressing - and it ALWAYS makes things better. The menu is extensive and affordable with generous portion sizes, and the staff are kind and hardworking and gave me a free Thai tea refill cause the salad spice was making my nose run in the best way possible. The interior is bustling and the patio is immaculate. Easily one of the most comforting spots in Thaitown.

    I came here with my parents after a short hiking day at the Griffith Observatory. The food was top-tier. We had no idea the portions were so big (they're like family-style, rather than individual dishes), so we had to take some home. The Golden Crab Bags (one of the appetizers) was definitely an unexpected winner. The Sa-te chicken (that's how they spelled it in their menu), or Satay chicken, as I know it, was, as always, a winner in my book. Their Pad See Ew was just ok but the Pad Thai is incredible. The combination soup (hotpot version) was great too, and so was their Thai Tea. The service was next-level. Shoutout to Melissa, our server for the day. She was always helpful, attentive and kind. The ambiance was good too. Well-lit-up restaurant with natural light coming in from the windows (it's a corner shop) that's in a well-trafficked area in the middle of Thai Town. Also, the menu is LENGTHY, akin to that of The Cheesecake Factory. Lots of variety there.

    This is a fantastic spot if you enjoy Thai cuisine. The portions are very generous, and the food is served quickly. While the restaurant itself isn't the most romantic setting (I wouldn't recommend it for a date night), the food and service are excellent! I highly recommend trying the fried shrimp stuffed with ground chicken, accompanied by a chili sauce. The green curry (number 53) is also delicious, featuring wonderful flavors. It could be even better with higher-quality vegetables like eggplant and onion, as it currently comes with bell peppers, bamboo shoots, and green beans. Nonetheless, it's still very tasty! I will definitely return for the food and service. The spicy fried rice is delightful; we tried it with shrimp, and it was fantastic. The portion is so generous that it can easily be shared among three people.

    We came on a Monday night with a group of 3 and were seated right away. Service was friendly and quick. Food was delicious. Mild had the perfect amount of spice.

    I recommend crab meat fried rice and Pad See Ewe :) The staff was kind. The ambiance is good for dinner.

    I've been coming to Thai Patio and Thai Town sister businesses here in the New Hollywood Plaza for a long time. It's one of my favorites for many reasons. Try the spicy seafood soup which features about fifty dollars worth of premium seafood. It is served in a flaming pot and it has cured quite a few colds for me and my friends. Five stars. Be adventurous and give the traditional Thai dishes a shot, like the wild boar. You can choose from numerous vegetarian and vegan options as nearly the entire four page menu can be made with fried or steamed tofu instead of meat. Thai Patio has been featuring local live musicians and late night eats for a long time. A true story about Thai Town USA and poem to follow. Skip to the end or bypass if that's not your thing. Come here for the great food, service and value. I started coming here in the late nineties when I was a teenager in a rock band. Back then, the Hollywood music scene was incredible but we didn't have Uber or Lyft to help us make it home safely. To help people in Hollywood get home safely, and reduce automotive fatalities, a few Thai restaurants in the area opened their doors after the bars and clubs closed. My band loved the lifesaving efforts from the Thai community and this restaurant, so we came here every day before rehearsal and recommended this restaurant to our fans to make sure they made it home. Once upon a time there was a handicapped and disabled person who failed a field sobriety test due to her handicaps. And though she passed a few blood alcohol tests, it was difficult to explain she was blind where her field test was given. She thought about cashing with a lawsuit in honor of disabled people but at the height of the pandemic there was something much more important. In honor of George Floyd, she collected signatures from criminals who took credit for their actions and asked to forward their support for better treatment to people of color and with disabilities in a signed letter to a judge. The white career criminals who turned themselves in for their actions in honor of a black man is my personal favorite part of that story. This seems like a beautiful place to leave a poem. A love story. A love story about making it home safely. Cheers Yelp! The best and only place to leave my favorite stories and poems! Peace and love to Thai Patio and Thai Town USA. Thanks for all you do for the community and to help us make it home safely. "LA LOVE SONG" She was from the big city, where the snakes learned how to shake hands. He was in the entertainment business where you finish a murder with a decaf. Even though she just met him, he knew how to make her laugh. She said it's not what you came in with, but where you take a STAND Does anyone believe in love at first glance? Later that evening there will be a car crash She didn't wear much makeup, and he thought she had a pretty smile H e looked better than his picture because you couldn't see the color of his eyes They didn't want the night to end there, so he left to take her for a ride Somebody else, somewhere, shouldn't have let their friends drink and drive In a few moments the car is gonna roll ten times And it didn't matter when the engine caught fire He will tell her, girl, I'm so glad I found you I'm not leaving without you now And in twenty years, they laugh about it How that promise stayed alive They never left each other's sides From the car crash on their first date Through the fire floods and earthquakes They will hold each other's hand Waiting for an ambulance Like the first time he told her, Girl, I'm so glad I found you I'm not leaving without you now Many thanks to everyone who helps us make it home safely.;) ++++++++++Fireworks+++++++++++++++++++

    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 Thai Patio?

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.

I felt like I came to eat and my mom's house. They take Debit Card and Apple Pay WITH a pin only. I forgot my wallet and paid with Apple Pay. It did not have a place for tip which made me feel awful. At the end I apologized and she was like "it's ok, next time." And she was genuinely fine with it. She reassured me not to worry about it. So I'm determined to come back to tip her because if anybody deserved a tip it was her. I ordered Pad Thai with tofu- I like to order peanut sauce on the side and the woman found it interesting and struck a non judgmental conversion about it. I could really tell she was genuinely curious. This was my favorite dish. It was good. I also ordered spicy fried rice with tofu and spicy panang curry with vegetables. I chose 4 out of a 6 for spicy and it was not spicy at all for me. The rice was fine, nothing extraordinary and nothing bad. The panang curry was yummy. I don't know if it's regional but it was very light in taste and light in thickness. BUT I enjoyed it for what it was. Felt like I had gotten home made chicken soup or something like that comforting and not overly processed. Maybe it's because I ordered it with no protein and just vegetables. I ordered a lot of food so I explained to her that I was going to eat some and take the rest to go. When she brought the food she brought it nicely packed without a bag. She also brought me a real plate and utensils to eat here. She let me know that when I was ready she'd bring a bag which I thought was thoughtful. She also made sure to say "take your time, no need to rush. We close at 8" and it was 5pm. Again, it felt genuinely nurturing, she wanted to make sure I felt taken care of and welcomed. It meant a lot because I was frazzled from forgetting my wallet and from having a hard day at work. This was my first time here and it won't be my last. There is a small lot on site. Prices were very reasonable.

    This place is by far my favorite Thai restaurant and that's why it's so disheartening to write this…read morereview. I have written at least 2 glowing reviews of the restaurant in the past and wish this could be one of them, but it's not. Over the last 4-5 days I have tried no less than 2 dozen times to call the restaurant during proper business hours to order food for pick-up as I often do. The phone rang and rang to no avail. I live too far from the restaurant to just pop up and place an order so I rely on calling ahead. I have been a customer of this restaurant for at least the last 9 years and have almost never had the aforementioned experience. Though I do recall not being able to get a call through several times on one or two occasions in the relatively distant past. Today I was finally able to get a call through and began placing my order which includes shrimp. I ALWAYS request the tail (with shells) to be removed from the shrimp as I find it quite difficult to enjoy my meal if I'm constantly having to pick off shells with my hands. It's unsanitary and messy. Removing the tails from 15-20 shrimp prior to adding to an entree or soup should take no more than 60 seconds and that's if one is moving at a glacial pace. However, today I was told that the kitchen was too busy to honor my request. I assured the lady taking my order than I was a loyal customer and make this request will every order I place and it is always honored. She repeated her claim that the kitchen was too busy and refused to do it. I cancelled my order and ended the call. Now I usually order food from the restaurant 4-5 times a month and usually spend about $65 each time not including tip. That is approximately $325 per month of my hard earned money that I give to this restaurant in exchange for great food and service. I am appalled and quite upset that having been a loyal customer for almost a decade and spending as much money there as I do per month that they could at least honor my patronage by simply taking an additional 60 seconds in the kitchen to make my meal more enjoyable. Her refusal to do such a minuscule task has deeply soured my experience with Hoy-Ka not to mention the fact that I could not reach the restaurant for almost a week by phone for no apparent reason. I will not be going back to this restaurant until they rectify this situation.

Each time I've come the waitstaff has been super friendly, and the food amazing. So, when planning a little birthday lunch for my mom's 81st birthday, this was one of the first places I thought of. My mom lives in south LA and we live in the valley, so after picking her up, we wouldn't have to travel far to eat. Although we planned to arrive to the restaurant at 2, traffic was horrible and we arrived at 230pm. After looking for parking, I dropped the fam off at 2:40 so they could sit and look at the menu while I found parking. I get a text from my husband saying they closed at 3 so hurry. This was news to me, as I thought they closed at 5. I found parking and rushed in at 2:48, to see my family outside the restaurant. Perplexed, I went in to ask if we could still eat, as it wasn't yet 3pm. No wait staff came to the front to greet me, so I walked in a bit and asked the waiter if it was okay to eat. The waiter said we close in ten. I said I thought the website said you closed at 5. I must have read it wrong. I understand, but it's not 3 and we came a bit of a distance and it's my mom's 81st birthday. The waiter, whose name is Jack, offered to ask the kitchen if they would still make food. I said yes please would you ask? While Jack was asking, another waiter asked me if I had been helped. I told him yes, that Jack was asking the kitchen if we could still have lunch. This waiter says, we're closing in 10. I'd like to have lunch too. And walks away. Yes, with shade. Jack returns and says it's fine as long as we can order within a few minutes of getting the menu. I say great and we all come in. The 2nd waiter takes our order with the least amount of personality he possibly can, and the whole lunch is slightly awkward and we're not able to truly enjoy ourselves with the feeling of "we better hurry up and eat" lingering. By the time we ordered and received our food (which was delicious as usual) , there were still 4 other groups of customers there, and we actually left the restaurant within a minute or two after the last customers before us. Also, no one came around to ask how our food was and if we needed anything. I'm giving 3 stars because this experience didn't quite sit right with me. Yes, it was near closing, but your doors weren't closed and there was no sign saying last call/order at 2:45 or anything like that. I feel like once the kitchen approved making our lunch, customer service should have been at its peak for paying customers, who gave no attitude and tried to be as polite with the ask as possible. It was not. I still tipped 25%, because Jack (waiter 1) was polite and my 81 old mama who I was celebrating raised me that way, but I'm not sure I'll patronize them again.

Extremely well balanced, not too sweet, not too tangy, not drowning in sauce, just perfectly done with great noodle texture and loaded with shrimp. The Pad Kee Mao was so flavorful. Smoky, spicy, full of flavor, and had that proper "wok hei" char that makes noodles addictive. The Pad See Ew was equally rich and savory, and deeply satisfying. We also got the turnip omelette (Kai Jeow with preserved radish) and it blew my mind, honestly. It is so simple, but packed with flavor. Somehow one of the best egg dishes I've ever had. The morning glory with pork was another standout, super fresh, garlicky, and cooked perfectly. Everything came out hot, portions were generous, and the whole table went silent because the food is too good to talk through lol. On top of that, the servers were super nice, friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better despite how busy it was :) Packed restaurant, amazing energy, AMAZING food. This place just ruined average Thai food for me. Already thinking about when I'm going back!!!

    I really wish I can love this place but it's really disappointing. What once was known as the best…read moreThai food in LA, is no longer the case. We got the raw shrimp salad, spicy catfish and bbq pork over rice. The raw shrimp "salad" is probably the best thing we've ate, but the chili sauce was over powering and couldn't really taste the freshness of the shrimp. And I feel like there could've been saw garlic to go along with it, but nope, just decorative cabbages that is not edible. As for the bbq pork over rice, the sausage was good and the crispy pork too. But the BBQ pork itself was HORRIBLE I literally spit it out. It tasted like old refrigerated dry meat, barely edible. And then the spicy catfish, the portion was so small, it looked like someone ate half of it. The pieces very tiny and it was so dry it tasted like it was refried. The spicy sauce didn't help much. And I overheard the table next to us waited around 30 mins for their dishes. Overall, I'll not be coming back here. There are much better Thai spots than this. Not to mention the parking is horrible as it was valet only on a Saturday.
