"What It Is: A new restaurant from the people behind one of our all-time favorite Thai restaurants Perfect For: Casual Midweek Dinner, Lunch, Serious To-Go Situation Noree Thai is the latest restaurant from the Luv2Eat people, which was enough of a reason to get us in the door. Noree’s menu is similar to the original Hollywood spot, with a few new items like the massaman lamb chops and no-lae chicken (herb-rubbed in a sweet and sour sauce) that need to be on your table. The casual space is small, but can still handle big groups, and there’s a front patio where we enjoyed watching people spend $300 on groceries at Erewhon across the street. The Verdict: The best new Thai restaurant in the area - and probably the city. It’s going on the Hit List." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, brett keating
