23 Tantalizing Thai Restaurants in Los Angeles

"Chim, which translates to “to taste” in Thai, brings the business of Bangkok street food to Pasadena. The decor nods to tuk tuks or rickshaws that roam Thailand’s capital while servers don the bright orange vests typically saved for motorcycle taxis. For snacks, opt for the roti served with Panang curry, herbaceous northern Thai sausage, and yum wai wai (a zippy instant noodle salad). The star, however, is the su kho thai noodles: this noodle soup is served above a flickering flame and features the brightness of tom yum with the addition of fish cakes, crushed peanuts, and chicken meatballs, all atop soft rice noodles." - Kat Thompson, Eater Staff
