"There’s something about curry in the comforts of home that just never gets old. Luckily, the dishes at Thai standby Luv2Eat stand up to takeout, and the portions are often large enough to have leftovers. Start with pad see ew, or pad Thai, before adding in curry, tom kha, and other Thai classics. Make sure to add the jade noodles topped with barbecue pork, crispy pork, and roasted duck. If looking for another takeout option from Luv2Eat, head next door to Thai Street Food by Luv2Eat Express, where the same team is dishing up Southern Thai curries, braised beef noodles, and more. Order pick-up or delivery on Uber Eats." - Rebecca Roland
"As one of Los Angeles’s most popular trails, Runyon Canyon is always a scene. For a post-hike lunch with chill vibes, head to the laid-back Luv2Eat Thai Bistro just down the street. Diners in the know order the Hat Yai fried chicken first, since it can take up to 30 minutes to prepare, before perusing the menu of curries, noodles, and more. The spice levels here are no joke, so many cool down with Thai iced tea while braving the menu’s spice-laden heat." - Rebecca Roland
"Luv2eat looks like any other strip mall restaurant in the city, but the Thai food and the warm service make this one of our favorite restaurants in all of LA. Its greatness lies in the Chef’s Special section of the menu, a mixed bag of dishes that showcases the two chefs’ family recipes from Phuket. Get the Phuket-style crab curry. When combined with the fatty crab meat bathing at the bottom, it takes sweet, salty, and sour to euphoric levels. Even the moo-ping, a simple grilled pork skewer appetizer, is marinated and charred so perfectly that it should be rebranded as candy on a stick." - brant cox
"We often find ourselves at this southern Thai spot in Hollywood after going to the Target on La Brea or the post office or the dry cleaner or the doctor. In other words, we’re lured in whenever we need some peace and jade noodle soup. Everything about Luv2Eat looks and feels like any other LA strip mall restaurant, but the ultra-spicy regional specialties and the warm service make it an extreme challenge to drive by without popping in. You’ll find many of the highlights in the Chef’s Special section of the menu, a mixed bag of dishes that showcases the two chefs’ family recipes from Phuket. The Phuket-style crab curry, for instance, when combined with the fatty crab meat bathing at the bottom, takes sweet, salty, and sour to euphoric levels. Even the moo-ping, a simple grilled pork skewer appetizer, is marinated and charred so perfectly that it should be rebranded as candy on a stick. If you've ever wondered where we eat on a “night off,” Luv2Eat is where to find us." - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park, sylvio martins
"Your New York friend knows about our incredible tacos, sushi, and produce. Are they aware we also have the best Thai food? If not, take them to Luv2Eat and drive home the unseriousness of their favorite pad thai spot in Murray Hill. You could close your eyes, spin the menu, and land on something delicious at this Hollywood strip mall spot just west of Thai Town, but Luv2Eat’s greatness lies in their “chef’s special” section: pungent crab curry, savory jade noodles, and moo ping, marinated pork skewers that could be rebranded as pig candy on a stick." - brant cox
