Even though Thai food is not my usual go-to, I wanted to give Her Thai a try after the staff across the way at Met Her told me about it. I had such a good time there that I wanted to see what this new concept had to offer.
Looking at their menu prior, there were actually a few things I wanted to try. There are two ordering screens to your right as you walk in-which lets you make some modifications-but you can always order with an actual human, which is what I did. I was trying to narrow it down between the fried rice and the yellow curry, which she told me was the mildest of what they had curry-wise, and a little bit on the sweet side. I decided to add the chicken to it as well. Self-serve water with lemon is also at the counter so I'm already happy.
Seating is either a counter, a table at the front inside, or some tables and chairs outside on La Brea. There were two other parties present that chose outside so naturally I stayed at the counter. Took about 5 minutes and they bring the food to you, utensils were right in front (no knives though, at least on display).
She was spot-on, this was a tiny bit sweet which I didn't mind but darn, even the mildest versions of some foods will set me back. My weak palate had to take some breaks in between, but it was good! The potatoes and carrots were especially saturated so they had the most kick. Steamed rice was excellent; not undercooked as some places do, and was great on its own even though I mixed some in. Glad I added the chicken to this. Plenty of water on hand as I attempted to finish most of my food while there.
She brought over a lid for the bowl of curry, and a thoughtful touch of a small plastic bag to put it in as an additional precaution. Smart! Keep in mind this kind of food, even while packaged accordingly, will linger in your car, etc.
They still have a grand opening sign up even though they've been open for about a month but the more attention, the better. Her Thai is worth a stop, whether you're a Thai food fan, or a weakling such as myself. Looking forward to returning!
EDIT: Returned for the chicken fried rice minus egg/white onion, this was very good as well! Same crusty valet on the weekend that I had last time when I went to Met Him At A Bar; said I get 5 minutes, I was out in 3. I'll be back for sure-
