The 24 Best Thai Restaurants In Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"When people ask about the best Thai restaurant in LA for any occasion, it’s our natural reflex to blurt out Luv2Eat. This well-rounded Southern Thai spot in Hollywood simply does not miss. Everything about Luv2Eat looks and feels like any other strip mall restaurant in the city, but the food and the warm service stand out. Its greatness lies in the "Chef’s Special" section of the menu, a collection of dishes that showcases the two chefs’ family recipes. The Phuket-style crab curry, for instance, when combined with the fatty crab meat lounging at the bottom, takes sweet, salty, and sour to euphoric levels. Even the moo ping, a simple grilled pork skewer appetizer, is marinated and charred so perfectly that it should really be rebranded as candy-on-a-stick." - brant cox, arden shore, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
