Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: May 20 | Eater LA

"I recommend going with a group that shares tastes and ordering at least five dishes from the 90-plus item menu; while sitting in the unfussy dining room I studied the restaurant’s website and its 1970s photos of the Hollywood Motel site, which housed a diner by day and a Thai restaurant by night. This old-school spot delivers roast duck over rice, pad see ew bursting with vegetables, deep-fried soft-shell crab, and incredible boat noodle soups — the beef is most popular but the beef-with-meatballs is equally excellent. If dining solo, I shove my face into the aromatic, steamy broth loaded with rice noodles, sliced beef meatballs, bean sprouts, cilantro, and crispy pork rinds (which remain tasty even as they soften); slurp away and take short breaks with a Thai iced tea." - Eater Staff
