Ok, so a coworker of mine always recommended Thai Silk. Now mind you that I'm not an expert on Thai cuisine, but I did enjoy their Pad Kee Mao with shrimp. It had a nice bite to it, and the onions and basil gave it a nice taste. Of course I had to get a Thai Ice Tea too. The service was great and in fact I felt bad for the woman who was running the place as it seemed like when her coworker went out to do a delivery, she was having to fend for herself. Which you could tell by her hustling to serve customers and was always apologetic. Nice to feel she has pride in her service and hospitality. As for the ambiance it was pretty clean and quiet, minus some rude customers that came in asking for a large order that was still not due for a few minutes. Granted with the short staff it did take a bit longer, but they didn't have to cause such a ruckus while others were trying to enjoy their afternoon lunch. I would go back for sure and try some of their other dishes. Although times have changed as the prices aren't necessarily the lowest, but the flavors were good. Enjoy read more

Been coming here for years, forever the best place to get a pad Thai with crispy fried tofu in Boyle heights!! Their glass noodle salad is delicious, acidic, and refreshing. For appetizers we always get the chicken satay and crispy calamari. Their employees are always kind and they deliver free in a one mile radius which is rare to find nowadays. Definitely recommend!! read more

This is one of my most favorite places to eat in DTLA. Truly a hidden gem!!! Must tries are the Pad Kra Pow , the larb salad (get a side of white rice! Trust me!), the Pad See Eu, and the Pineapple fried rice! Affordable prices, super clean restaurant and super tasty food! You won't be disappointed. Tell them Eric sent you. read more

i love this place Food! is amazing . But i just realized they charge 1.50 more for light ice in your drink . Now dont get me wrong if that's what they need to do is ok but why not say something when some one is asking for light ice . read more

Thai Silk Express - They charger deliver , yet they say is FREE if you spent 15 or more !!?! Doesn't make sense . - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My husband and I like to order Thai food every so often when we work from home together. Even though we love the place we usually order from, we figured we should try something new and found Thai Silk. I got the seafood rice plate, my husband got the chicken pad see ew, and dumplings to share. For the price of my plate ($16.99), his plate ($13.99) and the dumplings ($10), I thought the plates would be quite large (as they are in the other Thai place we like. I was shocked to find the plates are so small! And it didn't make up for it in taste either. My rice was so dry, unappealing and essentially tasteless. If it weren't for the dumpling sauce I used on the rice mixed with chili paste it wouldn't have been good at all. I was also very displeased that when we picked up the food and asked for sriracha sauce, the lady said she already put a different hot sauce in the bag--- and I said that's fine, we'll take sriracha too-- to which she replied, "so you want to give the other sauce back?!" Um, NOOOO! How stingy is she?!! Charging so much for such small plates of tasteless food, and still trying to cut corners with hot sauce. Lady, that's what made the plate tolerable! read more

Food was fresh and tasty. It was ready in like 6 minutes. I would definitely come back.

Great spot. My new go to. Awesome food and service! Highly recommend it. Their yellow curry is delicious.

The food is so good. It's beautiful and clean. They didn't have the greatest service, we had to wait to ask for rice, I asked for mild curry for my son, and it was too spicy for him and he had to go up to ask for water to calm down his tongue. read more

We were in the area and were looking for a Thai food place to try and I'm glad we stopped here! Seriously the spicy fried rice and red curry we ordered was SO flavorful. By far the best Thai food we've had. The rice had a wonderful peppery flavor and lived up to the name. The red curry was so savory and delicious, it's literally the best. I ordered the sweet iced green tea and it was bomb! The staff was super friendly. The place was super clean and inviting! 10/10 we are stopping by here any time we are in the area! read more

This local Thai food restaurant is very good... I have been here a few times now and have tried a few different things from the menu... They are now open for dine in and are still taking precautions to keep customers safe... I absolutely love Thai food and I'm glad I don't have to drive to far to get something good... I have ordered the shrimp wonton soup which was delicious, and the Mango sticky rice is a must have, it is definitely my favorite... I love that Thai food always has healthy alter if you don't want to eat rice or noodles... I have had the tiger salad from here, its good and not to spicy... I have also ordered the papaya salad which was ok... The pineapple fried rice is good and comes with a good portion of meat... If your in the mood for Thai food and don't want to drive across town and deal with LA traffic I recommend trying out this local Thai place...The staff is very friendly and the food is good... read more

This place is everything you want in a hole in the wall Thai place. It's small and while they clearly expect you to order to go, there are a handful of sit down tables. The workers are very pleasant and the service is quick. The food is cheap and delicious. read more

Unimpressive, & for a strip mall place, also expensive. It is pretty disappointing when a tha place doesnt get its simple curries right! Pannag was watery ... as if throwing in shrimp, green peasn and shrimp in a watery soup makes for a Panang? Service was qeirdly non-cooperative. Place was literally empty; server lady on phone. Somehow declined to show me a wall charging.point for a phone, then said cant be charged in kitchen / @ counter either for 'electirical load' (i had a charger), & then, after more fuss with chef (owner?) Showed me a charging wall socket under my seat! This review isnt based on the phone charging incident. Thenfood is expensive, rice is ala-carte for curries, and overall felt like I ate nothing. Needs sone serious inputs read more

I love, love, love, this joint! Outstanding food and service every time I've visited. The restaurant itself is very clean and well kept, and the servers are always so polite. The food has never disappointed me and I think this place is such a gem in BH. Shoutout to the cashier who attended to me 15 mins before closing time too lol. Also prices aren't bad and portions are good. Overall, would definitely recommend and I will keep coming back! read more

Good food, would've been better if rice wasn't firm. Will return and try flat noodles or pad Thai

I ordered a sea food soup and it Tasted water down and very basic with only imitation crab & shrimp oppose to the description. The pad Thai was very dry and the chicken was burnt.! read more

2018 Yelp 100 Challenge 28/100 ** 15% additional delivery tip will be added (SERIOUSLY??!!) ** Service is HORRIBLE and let me add RUDE AF! Especially the delivery guy. Family owned restaurant or not.... WE ARE YOUR CUSTOMERS! Just now I had the most horrible experience getting our order delivered. The delivery guy is part of this family owned business and demanded to tip him 15% MORE (on top of $3 fee on our receipt). Delivery guy states that it's the law to pay the 15% - Umm excuse me sir.. It's 15%+ for dining in NOT for delivery! (trying to tax us!) Doesn't end there, when trying to give him additional $10 and the change for tip - the delivery guy had the nerve to throw the money back! (who does that!?) I have noticed that clearly this delivery guy IS a problem. (Please see posted previous reviews) SMH. Lost my business from today. read more

Loved the food and service 10/10 , for sure planning on going back . Chill vibes and not packed

Great food. Friendly family run place. They also will deliver as long as you don't go through Grubhub, which don't do so well following delivery instructions. They have recently repainted the dining area. My favorite dishes are Panang curry, Khua Kai, Spicy Fried Rice, Steamed Chicken Dumplings, Fried Wontons (why does everything fried have to taste sooooo good?), Beef Noodle Soup, Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mao, Tom Yum Noodle soup, Kee Mao Chow Mein, Pepper Garlic, Chili and Hot Basil Leaves, and Thai Tea. read more

Delicious! And made to order I ordered the pad see ew with beef and tofu will be my go to spot now

This place is the holy grail of Thai food. They have clean tasting delicious food, the food is very well priced, and they offer their OWN delivery! I've had the Pad See Ew, Pad Kee Mao, and the fried riced (all winners!). I've spent more time than I would like to admit trying to find a good Thai place in the area (no one has time to go all the way to Thai town). If I find a place that is good its almost $20 dollars a plate and the portions are so stingy. If I find a place with good prices the food is super lackluster. I crave the food here, they can make it SPICY if you want and they include more veggies with the rice and noodle dishes that other places. read more

Delicious! I participated in a class that catered from Thai silk express. We had pad Thai, pad see ew, and a chicken curry. The pad see ew was hands down AMAZING. It has a sweet flavor to it, a nice texture, and I was also really impressed at how good the curry was. It looks good, but tastes even better, especially with the rice. It was super satisfying to the taste buds. If you've never had Thai food before or are looking for a Thai place to go to in DTLA, come here. Order out, because you won't regret it -- you'll end up enjoying it!! The pad Thai though, was probably my least favorite of the three. It was decent overall; still flavorful, but the other two definitely exceeded my expectations. read more

food was good but the portion was extremely small for what i paid for , kinda disapointed...

Thai Silk is great for phone orders and deliveries. Everything in the menu is at a very good prices compared to the Thai restaurants in Hollywood. To go orders are generous on the portions. Small sitting space available if you are interested in dinning in but it's nothing fancy, do not expect to go on a date here. Servicies is great, I haven't had any issues. Parking is available with no fee. read more

The food was great. We ordered pick up, and the food was ready on time. Great service as well.

Thanks to the wonders of Grubhub I was able to enjoy a delightful bowl of their Yellow Curry with Chicken! The curry soup was delightful, a perfect combination of savory and sweetness, the chicken was cut into thin slivers so it is easy to eat - almost bite site, a generous amount of carrots and potatoes was nicely tenderized in this dish, it is tender but not mushy. It is a nice bowl of goodness that will sure warm your tummy especially in these cool February days. I also ordered their calamari which is REALLY good, if there is one complaint I have about it is that the serving seems smaller than the usual serving I get from other restaurants BUT nevertheless - it was delicious! Overall, I really like their dish, can't say much about the place since I have not been here but to speak about their food - it is A-Ok! Cheers! read more

Thai Silk is a magnificent gem of a restaurant. I hosted a birthday gathering in August at my house. I strongly desired catering by Thai Silk, considering I frequently order by way of postmates. I popped in and prepared myself to order a day in advance (Saturday). The owner's wife offered to open the restaurant on their off day (Sunday) and deliver it on their way home so that my food would be fresh. I was astounded! The owner and his wife are lovely people, especially his wife, as I communicated with her most. I was so amazed by their hospitality that I ordered more than what I initially planned to have. Though I am not Thai and have yet to visit Thailand, Thai Silk is what I imagine home-cooked Thai food to be. I'm a massive fan of their yellow curry lunch special served with rice and a side salad. The curry is deep and flavorful; it's unlike any curry I've had before. Today, I switched it up and ordered the pepper and garlic chicken lunch special, and it was good. If you want a good bang for your buck, excellent service, and tasteful food, Thai Silk is the place to order takeout. read more

Thai Silk Express - Thai Tea - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been here 4 years ago and it never disappoints. I would stop by for the chicken dinner plate or hot soup either seafood or coconut. They are one of the only restaurants in town that allowed in me with my bicycle. Fast forward to today, to my first time ordering online. We ordered pad see ew (spelling) and it was ok. Our favorite dishes were the Spicy Shrimp Coconut Soup and the spicy green beans with meat. The Chicken fried rice was yummy too but next time we'll be going with the shrimp fried rice. Although our meal was exceptional we had a problem. I made a mistake and asked my husband to pay at the door not realizing it was already pre-paid. Later that night I called after closing and the owner was able to not only fix the problem but when my husband showed up to pick up the money he offered him a ride home. I have 9years of kitchen and restaurant experience and can honestly say that I've never seen anyone go that far beyond expectations to make it right for their customers immediately. Needless to say we have found our new favorite Thai restaurant!! Thank you! read more

Completely lackluster Thai food. I don't understand how they achieved 4 stars on yelp. It's clear that the owners do not take joy in their food. The pad kee mao is pale white, lacking flavor, and had lettuce sprinkled in instead of the basil. The steak was cooked without skill: dry and chewy and no flavor. What a waste of calories and money. I truly regret giving them a chance. Please find another Thai restaurant to satisfy your cravings, this is not it. read more

Came in here for a late lunch around 3 pm. Getting here was a little bit of a mess since I missed my exit and that inevitably led me to an added detour of 15 minutes. If I wasn't meeting a friend for lunch, I would have given up on coming here afterward. Google Maps sent me around the block thinking the location was in the back alley, so be careful it is in fact in front in the plaza near the El Pollo Loco. Parking was a breeze since there was plenty of space! The restaurant is on the smaller size, which made it a little hard to miss but once inside it was fine! Since we came at a weird time for lunch (3:45 pm) there was no one inside and we were able to get our food relatively quickly. I ordered the Red Chicken Curry extra hot with a side of rice. I personally love spicy food and although I ordered hot, I still scooped in an extra 6-7 scoops of their table chili sauce to add extra heat. The red curry was a little thinner than I would have liked however they were able to pack some pretty good flavors in it. I could taste the coconut milk inside and loved that I could still see some flakes sprinkled on top. I love eating the ginger cuts in a red curry and loved how they placed them on top of the dish almost like a garnish. The rice was a little dryer than I would have liked but after being dipped in the broth was not an issue. Overall, I would recommend this place if you are in the area and highly recommend being careful If you are using google maps to get here since I was extremely lost. read more

Talk about a hidden gem in Boyle Heights. An area that is dominated by birria, tacos, quesadillas, pozole, etc. and then there's Thai Silk Express. I've driven by here a million times on my way to the bank, Ramirez, or one of my favorite mariscos trucks that posts up right there on Soto next to the BofA parking lot, SHOUTOUT! I've always scoffed at the notion of getting Thai anywhere other than Thai Town in LA, but boy was I ever wrong. The first time I came I got a simple shrimp pad thai, and that was great. They didn't skimp on the shrimp or cheap out and use the tiny dehydrated shrimp like some places do to save money. The second time we got the "Tri Flavored" tilapia, papaya salad, and pad see eew. That salad and noodles were great, but the tilapia was above and beyond the best fried fish I have ever had. It was perfectly cooked, sweet, spicy, flaky. I would honestly come back just for the tilapia. Both times the service was great, and parking wasn't a hassle later in the day. read more

I usually like the food from this place. I the seafood combo, Tom yum chicken, chicken satay, shrimp salad, pad see yu, and the Kung Pao beef. Majority was good, but I was really disappoint in Kung Pao beef. I never had Kung Pao this bad. Everything in the dish seemed like it was sitting in a bowl or stew. All the veggies were super overcooked like mushy. The beef didn't look bland and it seemed like it was boiled for a long time. It was too mushy. The sauce was liquid like soup. read more

This is my neighborhood go to Thai place. I have been coming for over ten years. My go to dishes are the delicious Tom Yum Noodle Soup and the combination pad Thai. Both dishes are beautifully executed. The Tom yum noodle soul me has a delicious lime broth base which is balances out with the noodles and the crushed peanuts. This soup is perfect if you want something light or if you're feeling a little under the weather. Th pad Thai is not greasy or overly sauced like at other Thai establishments. I pair both up with a side of white or brown rice and a side of peanut sauce. Obviously staying away from carbs is not a big concern of mine. Staff is friendly enough, but the food is the star at this establishment. read more

I thought I'd try this because it was pretty close to my job but never again. Portions are ridiculously small for the prices. I ordered a larb salad and was given a really small plate that had no salad whatsoever anywhere just had the chicken on one side and some raw cabbage on the other side. The food had no flavow or seasoning...my salad was full of juice at the bottom..i didn't order soup. Larb chicken had no Larb texture that is usual of larb..meaning they're was no heated/ground rice added. The whole plate only cabbage and chicken...disgusting and not well excuted. Very mediocre presentation and I know you don't eat cabbage raw that is disgusting. I told the lady why were the portion so small and why was I being served cabbage serve raw cabbage have no answer whatsoever I'm never coming back here again wasting my money. read more
