"Besides nepotism, Otus Thai Kitchen remains one of Hollywood’s best-kept secrets. The star of the show at this quaint, light-filled cafe on La Brea is the kai-kata, a breakfast set that comes with grilled baguette, fresh orange juice or Thai-style coffee, and a little metal tin layered with ground pork, sweet sausages, and two runny eggs—the perfect midday treat when you’re reminded of your outstanding parking tickets. There's a lot to love on the rest of Otus' surprisingly large menu as well, from juicy grilled pork skewers to stir-fried clams to dry-style "street noodles" topped with crispy pork belly. Oh, and did we mention they have a full-on espresso bar and a list of natural wines and sake, too?" - brant cox, arden shore, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
"Located in West Hollywood, one of Selena’s favorite neighborhoods in LA, Otus is an extremely pleasant and low-key Thai cafe that serves breakfast all day long. The menu is a mix of American and Thai breakfast options, so if you’re doing it right, you’ll end up with a table full of french toast, eggs, rice porridge with shitake mushrooms, and garlic chicken wings. Everything on the breakfast menu is great, and nothing costs more than $20." - nikko duren
"This Hollywood mainstay on La Brea is offering both delivery and takeout from 11am-9:15 during the week, and 10:15 on weekends. Yes, that includes their excellent Thai breakfast, the Kai-Kata. They are also open as a marketplace offering fresh produce and cooking essentials to-go. Order online." - brant cox
"The all-day Thai cafe on La Brea is open daily from 11am-8pm for takeout and delivery, and offers a grab-and-go market as well. Pick up fresh fruit, vegetables, garlic, eggs, and more. Check their Instagram for the latest details." - brant cox
"A Thai spot that’s one of Hollywood’s best-kept secrets, Otus has a really fantastic breakfast menu. You can’t miss the Kai-Kata - which is the most complete breakfast set around: A little pan of sour ground pork, sweet sausage, and eggs, with grilled bread, and OJ or Thai coffee. If you want something sweeter, go for the brioche French toast, loaded with whipped cream and seasonal fruit. Most importantly for when you’re trying to get work done - they’ve got a bright, quiet space, with some communal tables and a tiny patio. It’s the perfect oasis from the chaos that’s constantly outside at Fountain and La Brea." - brant cox, brett keating
