"Pailin is a tiny Thai Town restaurant that specializes in Northern Thai cuisine. The large menu is full of rice and noodle dishes that your friends will order, but you’re here for one reason - to house a giant bowl of their incredible khao soi all by yourself. This curry noodle soup is the perfect blend of sweet, savory, and spicy, and is one of our favorite versions of this dish in LA. Throw in an order of the spicy shrimp balls and you have one of the best lunches in Hollywood." - brant cox, brett keating
