Thai Central Cuisine

Thai Central Cuisine - Review - Thai Town - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Thai Town is full of restaurants that do specific dishes well—boat noodles, roasted duck, khao man gai, to name a few—which is great if everyone in your group wants the same thing. If not, that’s when a place like Thai Central Cuisine comes in handy. This bright yellow spot shares a jam-packed strip mall with Ruen Pair but is half as crowded, so even a big group can comfortably walk in and finish eating within an hour or so. The lengthy menu casts a wide net of regional styles, with eye-catching options like lime-drenched seabass bubbling in a fish-shaped hot pot to the signature fried pork belly sliced extra thick with audibly crunchy skin. Besides the usual curries and noodle stir-fries for your less adventurous friends, you’ll also find a mini tour of regional Thai dishes like khao soi and pork soup with jiggly cubes of cooked blood. Everything is done reasonably well, and while Thai Central might not be our absolute favorite Thai spot in town, it might be most likely to make everyone in your crew happy." - Sylvio Martins
