This no-frills Thai dessert haven serves mouthwatering mango sticky rice alongside a treasure trove of unique sweets and snacks that'll satisfy any craving.
"Bhan Kanom Thai is a bodega-like palace of Thai sweets and snacks. One can find an array of Thai-flavored Lays (the betel leaf miang kam flavor is a favorite), both sweet mango sticky rice and sour green mango with anchovy dip, and freshly prepared Thai-style crispy crepes. The refrigerated section also boasts a selection of coconut cakes, Thai tea custards, and black sticky rice pudding studded with cubed taro." - Kat Thompson
"Do you ever say “cow” when you pass your first cow on a road trip? After one visit to Bhan Kanom Thai, you’ll probably say “Bhan Kanom” every time you pass the East Hollywood strip mall that houses this Thai bakery and mini-mart. At Banh Kanom, delight is at full throttle. For starters, they make the best mango sticky rice in the city (temperature and texture are always spot on). But they also have fresh coconut pancakes, jellies, puddings, cakes, and dumplings. Get some grilled sticky rice with banana or taro, and the gooey, bite-sized taro cakes studded with corn kernels." - nikko duren, sylvio martins
"Kanomwaan, a Thai dessert shop by the team behind Ruen Pair, specializes in unique flavors like Thai coffee, durian, black sesame, and corn. For summer, they offer a mango sticky rice sundae, topped with mango gelato and accompanied by sticky rice and mango. The sundae, reminiscent of Korean bingsu, is large enough to share." - Eater Staff
