The 24 Best Thai Restaurants In Los Angeles
"You could probably drive past this tiny spot in Thai Town 100 times and miss it, but if you did, it would be a tragedy on par with the ending of Titanic. The star of the show here is undoubtedly their khao soi, which is ultra-creamy, slightly sweet, and filled with bright punches of flavor that will wow you even before you squeeze the lime over the top. Along with those signature curried noodles, we gravitate toward their fragrant Northern Thai sausage, sauce-covered spicy shrimp balls, or braised pork leg over rice—all simple, no-frills comfort foods. If you're in need of a quick, hearty lunch or just a pick-me-up after a long week, a meal in Pailin's colorful, kitschy dining room is the right prescription." - brant cox, arden shore, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
