Chao Krung Thai

Thai restaurant · Beverly Grove

@eater

"LA’s oldest Thai restaurant is operated by Katy Noochlaor and chef Amanda Kuntee. The sisters (who also own Sawtelle Japantown’s Tuk Tuk Thai) took over Chao Krung from their parents, Boon and Supa Kuntee, who opened Chao Krung in 1969 on Fairfax slightly south of Beverly. In 2018, the restaurant underwent a sleek remodel and Kuntee reintroduced her parent’s original menu. Chao Krung’s offerings are deeply personal with Kuntee’s subtle touches on dishes like the hoi todd (crispy broken crepe with mussels), creamy tom kha coconut soup, garlic black pepper shrimp, and a superior pad thai. In a city where Thai restaurants are a source of culinary pride, Chao Krung continues to prevail. — Mona Holmes, reporter" - Eater Staff
