The 24 Essential Thai Restaurants in Los Angeles

"Panvimarn Thai Cuisine has been Long Beach’s go-to for Thai specialties for the past decade. The bustling restaurant is home to big groups, a lively bar scene, and dishes like spicy and fried soft shell crab salad, grilled meats, and one beguilingly fiery sauteed eggplant." - Kat Thompson

19 Delicious Salads to Try in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"While the papaya salad may be the first thing to catch the eye at Long Beach’s Panvimarn, opt for the spicy soft-shell crab salad instead. Freshly fried soft-shell crab is placed on top of a bed of grape tomatoes and green and red apples, before being dressed with herbs. It’s a centerpiece salad that stands out on the menu of classic Thai noodle and rice dishes." - Rebecca Roland

I googled and thought this restaurant sounded good for a friend birthday celebration. The food was ok overall but not as good as I anticipated... some dishes were not as flavorful as they should. For example, Pad see ew didn't give me the smoky and depth satisfying flavors ... Chicken Satay was bland as well as other appetizers. The ribs were the most bland, no smoky or charred and spiced flavors. They were more like boiled and mopped with a red sauce then baked in oven... I never has a Laab before so I can't give a feedback other than pretty tangy. The hot stuff stirfry was good but nothing unique or win me over. Similarly with the Ruby curry. Btw, any non-starch dishes dont come automatically with a serving of steamed rice. It's $3.00 extra per serving. I wonder if anyone can eat a Ruby curry without rice or bread... 🤔 The cocktails were pretty good. The service was very good.

Panviman Thai Cuisine is a beautiful restaurant. The Thai spaghetti with Green Curry is pretty good. The chicken sate skewers were flavorful and juicy. The star of the lunch was the Mango Sticky Rice. The rice has a slight bite and chewiness to it with lots of sweet coconut syrup. The customer service is good and friendly.

This Thai food restaurant is phenomenal 💯👏🏽👏🏽I came here on a date and it did not disappoint. The papaya salad was exceptional! The appetizers were 10/10. I’m definitely going to return and try more off the menu! The service was amazing! Attentive and friendly.

My 2nd time to give another chance after 7 years. Definately will be my last time. Reason is the food. Services and decors were great but I won't enjoy my meal if my food tasted salty to me.

This place is another Gem in my area. Very clean place, friendly staff and I love family owned business and this is one. The food has a very nice presentation excellent flavor and generous portions. But I will say I will keep coming back for the amazing drinks that are made here. I’m told the bartender Paul does not drink but it is unbelievable to think when you taste these drinks, you would think this bartender has tasted the drinks to perfect them because these drinks are so much better than many dinner restaurants I have been to including the Yardhouse, P. F Changs and others. This place blows the bartenders from higher end places. I highly recommend you try this place and be confident to take friends and family your first visit. Paul makes the best drinks I have ever had Ask for for Laura Degas Miles You will have a great experience, these waiters are the best I have had . Paul the bartender doesn’t drink but somehow makes the best drinks I have ever had and I have been to Turkey, Australia and most states in USA. I highly recommend this place.

Each time I come to Southern California I stop here at least for lunch. They have one of the best Pad Thai I have ever had - they even put their own twist on it adding sweet crunchy peppers. Just pleasing and delicious. All of this topped with mango rice. Lots of exotics choices. And on top they are very people oriented, welcoming and caring for their guest. Definitely will continue coming back!!!

Good food, main dishes a bit on the sweet side The bellflower Blvd needs different name, since one has shrimp and the other doesnt. Really good, maybe give another go in the future but not for a while

Hidden Gem. This is now my 3rd time and still yelping for it is hard cuz i cant spell the Parnvimarn portion. Easier to zoom in on the Bellflower carson corner and search for Thai. Roast Duck Noodle Soup $18.75 - Super rich yet light broth was surprising. Lots of noodles, normally not a fan of rice noodles, but these soup noodles really were picking up the broth flavor. Wouldve like more bean sprouts and cilantro tho. It was like heavily noodles and soup, and like 2-3 slices of duck and 3 more duck bone shards. Taste is great. Expensive tho for what youre getting imo. Was expensive before all the foodflation and its insane still. This was a reason i booked a flight to Thailand, similar dish over there was like converted around $6-8, just ignore the cost of a flight and hotel. Warning - this place doesnt include rice with curry dishes which is around $20-30 for the curry itself. You have to separately pay $3 for the rice. Im not sure who eats curry without rice or a carb of some sort? Like in my head the default across cuisines is rice. Fancy fusion japanese place maybe give u noodles instead. But here charging separate for the rice is such a nickel n dime its off putting. Which is a shame cuz their duck curry has been delightful (havent found another place quite like this) The parking lot entrance is along Carson side. If going south on Bellflower, then right at Carson, and its the immediate opening on your right into a super tiny lot. Interior is spacious, dark, a little too much AC. Service was ok, not really memorable. Had to ask twice to get a lemon wedge. We came in for lunch so there was like 3-4 parties only. Seemed like a lot of staff hanging around chilling.

Got to try this spot for the first time yesterday and it was amazing. Got their Thai iced green tea, one of the best I've had and many other food options. My favorite was definitely the panvimarn fried rice, panvimarn ribs and their Panang curry. The proteins for the pad Thai, and pad kee mao was also super tender and flavorful whether it was pork or chicken. Every dish was fantastic overall. They also give a ton of papaya salad. Super filling, will definitely come back!

This restaurant can be a 5 star but I'm saving it for another visit. Reason is food was tasty but service was not too good. Today may have been a bad day being that it's Mother's Day so I'll be understanding. Service was so slow!!! We got our noodles and then waited another 15 minutes or more for the rest of our food. I had to flag the girl for water, food, and bill. So that could definitely improve. This place is lovely though! I will give it another shot!

Everything was so good! The decor is lovely with many buddha statues and images. Many options for vegetarians. We ordered spring rolls called the Bellflower, a tofu dish, and Thai spaghetti. The spring rolls had a side salad and ginger. Very light and fresh. It can be an entrée or an appetizer. My tofu dish was also really yummy and full of vegetables. The Thai spaghetti had a coconut green sauce and a side salad. Really everything was delicious. The service was OK. I ordered a coconut and a Thai beer named Leo. We will definitely come back.

This is my go to spot for delicious and amazing Thai food. I love this place! It has a nice bar and the ambiance is great. Great place for date night. My sister and I need a night out and we ordered the appetizer tray, which was delicious, the nutty chicken and the most delicious spinach. Yes, we had cocktails, she had a Cosmo and I had a Dragon Martini. The service was great, the staff were friendly, polite, they stay on top of everything. Highly recommended!

Good service but everything was overly sweet and not authentic tasting. A lot of dishes named the American name instead of the Thai name. Overpriced and average tbh.

A little hole in the wall place from the outside looks unassuming. When you enter, the decor transports you to a fancy restaurant. The only complaint is the seating areas. Food is excellent, but be careful about heat levels when ordering spicy. Medium spicy was more than medium. We ordered the shrimp curry, and the Korean BBQ beef (yes, I know it isn't Thai). Appetizers of money bags which are my favorite. Service is a little slow, but acceptable.

We ordered take out and they forgot to include utensils. We were planning to go eat on the beach but were disappointed to see that we didn't have anything to eat with. It was really annoying having to find a place to get spoons and forks when we were expecting our order to have them. We ordered the duck soup. The broth was a bit salty, but came with a good amount of meat and vegetables. I got the spicy jungle noodles. It was pretty good. I like the different flavors and the portion was a decent size We also got Thai teas that were 70% ice, they were also super sweet. When we picked up the food, the staff ignored us and also seemed to be hiding in the kitchen. The restaurant also seemed pretty dark, but there were a couple people eating inside

Second time for me and first for my wife. I love this place so I had to bring her to show her why. She had the Tom Ka and she loved it, I had the sampler app plate, so delicious! We were greeted with a smile and constantly attended to. The place is clean, organized and just feels you're at your Thai auntie's house. Definitely check this delight out.

I came in here with my wife for dinner we got the Pad Thai and the cashew chicken. Both dishes were very good and I think I would give them 8/10. The restaurant was really well staffed and the service was really good. When you go into the restaurant you will be surprised how big the restaurant is. The inside is pretty big and has a whole second floor. The vibe is cool and has a really chill laid back vibe. I will definitely return.

Some generous friends of ours took my husband and me here for our belated birthdays, and everything was delicious! We ordered the crispy fish and mango salad (heads up, this was delicious but I wouldn't call this a salad lol), filet mignon panang curry (probably our favorite - it's a little spicy but extremely tender and flavorful), golden curry (yummy but chicken was a little dry), and pad see ew (solid). Would come here again for the filet mignon curry!

I have been craving Thai food and Panmivarn did not disappoint. It has been some time since we've been here and the food is just as good as I remember it! We couldn't decide on just one appetizer so we chose to go with the sampler. A mix of satay (beef or chicken) spring rolls, shrimp wrapped in wonton wrappers, money bags, and fried wontons all with various sauces to accompany them. Each bite was a little bit of heaven! For our mains my wife got the Thai steak which was absolutely delicious, tender and super flavorful. For me it was the crispy roast duck with a tamarind sauce. My only complaint...I wish there was a side of sauce to pour over the duck it was that good! We also shared some of the Panmivarn fried rice with pork which was super flavorful and one of those dishes with a kicke that had more of a kick the more you ate, it was so good. I washed mine down with their lemongrass iced tea which I wish I could buy by the gallon! As for service. The service was good. The staff was very attentive and seemed to work as a team so there wasn't just one person handling the table. Drinks were kept filled and the staff was very friendly but did allow us time to actually enjoy our meals, we never felt rushed. The am ience is definitely very modern and the lighting is a bit dark. I can see the restaurant getting loud if there were a lot of people but we never had an issue hearing one another and the noise was not overwhelming. I highly recommend trying this place not just for the dishes a over but for their classic Thai dishes as well.

Great tasting Thai Food. Everything I've had so far with the exception of one thing has been excellent. Bursting flavors. The spice level is not overwhelming. Staff is friendly. Plenty of space inside. They have a bar. Appetizers: Moneybag & Westside Wontons are both stuffed with chicken and shrimp. Although they seem to be the exact same thing they're made a little differently. Both were amazing. Great tasting. Perfect app to start with. I did not order these two on the same day. Highly recommend! Spicy Jungle Noodles was a 10/10. I have never tasted such a fantastic noodle dish. This is hands down my new favorite Thai dish. They aren't kidding about the exotic Thai spices. All the veggies pair well with the entire dish. The perfect amount of spice level. The noodles melted in your mouth. The amount of protein on this dish was crazy. I went with beef. The beef was tender and was seasoned perfectly. The Golden Curry was a 10/10. Loved their recipe. The spices and spiciness of this dish was on point. The chicken was moist and packed with flavor. Potato's were soft. Highly recommend. Pad Thai was a 10/10. Great tasting. Flavors were outstanding. Veggies and noodles were cooked to perfection. One of the best I've ever had. My least favorite dish: The spicy eggplant. Several reasons. Eggplant was cold. Veggies to Protein ratio was overwhelming. It was bland. No flavors really came through on this one for me. I was bummed because I truly love eating this dish.

Came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon w/o a reservation. Waited for a table for about 20-30 minutes. We're a big party, so they had to wait for one of their larger tables to clear up which was understandable. The resto itself was clean and well kept but the service water looked questionable and the drinking glass still had some food stains. Service was excellent! A special mention to Ethan, our server, he was EXCEPTIONAL! He kept checking on us to see if we were still doing okay. We told him we were celebrating my MIL's birthday and he gave us complimentary ice cream plus they sang her happy birthday! Food was so bomb. Everyone loved the Moneybags, we had to order another plate! The pineapple fried rice was delicious, as well as the pad thai. The thai/green tea and thai iced coffee were bomb too! Food came out pretty fast after we placed our order. Big portions, i'd say a plate is enough for 2-3 people so their prices are reasonable as well. Overall, we were very delighted with our experience here and we're definitely coming back. :)

We tried going to another Thai spot but it was booked so we ended up here. It was a bad call. We had to wait for a table outside in the cold (heat lamps were not turned on around 8pm). There was no line. We had to order sides of rice ($3 each for a scoop) to go with our entrees. The moneybag wontons is a fun idea but the filling was super salty. The ribs were meh. The green curry in medium was good spicy but the undercooked spongy eggplant threw me off. The shrimp was hidden under the massive quantity of broccoli. Definitely not worth $22+. The pad Thai with beef was the best. Service was good so tipped well.

I haven't been to Panvimarn since 2020, and from my memory it was an incredible restaurant. I'm happy to say that the restaurant has not lost its touch and is still phenomenal! With the plethora of thai food options in orange county/ long beach, Panvimarn definitely stands out. Their portions are bigger than other popular thai restaurants (like Hanuman, Manaao), and to me the quality is just as high for the dishes they serve. Panvimarn is excellent value and will surely leave you satisfied. Pad thai: 5/5. SO flavorful, and the portion is huge. They give a lot of chicken! crab fried rice: 5/5. this came with soft shell crab too which i wasn't expecting! so much flavor bursting from this as well, and the sauce it came added a wonderful acidity. I will definitely be back!

This place is pretty great. Nice sit down restaurant. They do ask for reservations, so I'd opt for that to be safe. The service was very attentive to our needs and our food came out at a reasonable time. They have a nice Asian centric cocktail list that I'd love to try next time. We got the softshell crab curry, green curry with pork, and Thai style baby ribs as the appetizer. It was all really good. The baby ribs were seasoned and marinated well. The green curry was decently spicy and delicious with the pork and quail eggs inside of it. The softshell crab curry was the best dish of them all! The crab was crunch and soft and the curry sauce with all the spices made it very tasty. I would come back here to try the other items like jungle noodles.

It's been a while since I last visited, and I went in with high hopes! I cannot fathom what happened...I ordered pad Thai special, which was designated as spicy, and I additionally asked our nice server to make sure my dish was "Thai spicy". She confirmed a few times if that's indeed what I wanted, and I vigorously answered in the affirmative. The noodles were cooked well, with a nice assortment of veggies and peanut garnish, but it was about as spicy as infant formula. And the fact that I couldn't achieve my desired level of spicy at a Thai restaurant is a bit unforgivable. It wasn't an unreasonable request- kind of like asking for a lemon to be sour. But my friend enjoyed his bbq pork and my Thai old fashioned was good. I'm going to go drown my sorrows in a large bottle of hot sauce

We were disappointed with the wonton soup. The wonton wrapper was gray in color, tough, dry and rubbery. The sticky rice was not arrange nicely and it looked unappetizing. We were given a very small portion. Prices on website need to be updated. The food service was great! The ambiance feel inviting, cozy, elegant and lively.

This is my go to Thai place in the Lakewood area - I usually order to go and get either the pad sew ew or the pad Thai and papaya salad. It's always consistent and so good! This time my family ate at the restaurant so I was able to try different items from the menu. We ordered the sweet and sour pork, roast duck noodle soup, Tom yum soup, and the spring rolls. They were all very delicious however my go to is still the pad Thai! This place is very spacious and we usually do not have to wait long. There's lots of parking too which is a plus!

Always a great spot for dinner. The restaurant is nice and large, lots of seating. Usually pretty packed, but came on a Thursday night and it wasn't too bad. The stuffed chicken was so crispy and flavorful. The BBQ pork was perfectly seasoned and came with a good dipping sauce. The noodles had lots of flavor and plenty of beef. The scallops were crispy but mostly bread. The sauce they were in was also packed with flavor. The service was good and the food came out pretty quickly.

The ratings are high on here, and the food looks good in pictures, but it's far too Americanized. Nutty Chicken: 2/5 Tasted very similar to Panda Express orange chicken--overly sweet with no balance in flavor. Pad Thai (Special Sauce): 2/5 Extremely sweet, more like an Americanized chop suey thrown together than authentic Pad Thai. Appetizer Delight: 3/5 The fried items were nicely crunchy and not too salty, but the glaze was overwhelmingly sweet. The beef skewer was dry and disappointing. Service: 3/5 The waiter forgot about us, even though we were seated right in front. Parking Street parking is free, which is convenient. Ambiance Big bar and dark.

Haven't been here in a while, but the food is still delicious. We started out with the money bags very unique filling and beef jerky is tender not super dry. Then we shared chicken larb medium heat(still a lot of heat) and finish with taste of garlic shrimp tasty. Service was great and attentive to our needed. Inside is a little loud. We like sitting at the bar with full service

I just had the most delightful meal at Panvarian Thai Cuisine! I came in craving soup and went for the Panvarian special--it was super tasty and really hit the spot. But then I ended up ordering spring rolls, Shrimp Pad Thai, Veggies Delight, Priking with beef, and the full-size Thai ribs. Honestly, everything was delicious! What made the experience even better was my waitress, who always takes such great care of my mom and me. She really makes us feel at home. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it the best Thai restaurant in Long Beach, not just for the food but for the overall vibe. Oh I forgot to take pictures this time but I will be back soon

We came here for my mom's birthday! She LOVES thai food so her expectations were high. I live close from here but never got the chance to come. So glad we came! It was empty at that time and we didnt have to wait for a table. Everything we ordered was soooo good and fresh! The money bags were my fave! Never had something like that before. They even sang happy birthday to my mom and gave her ice cream. The drinks like thai tea, green thai tea, and thai coffee were all soo refreshing!

My auntie told me about this place and how good the drinks were and she did not lie. The drinks are fire. The food comes out. The service is excellent. We started with an appetizer that had a lot to try. It was filled with so many flavors and the sauces were so good. The main dishes came out. And I did feel like they could have give us a bit more noodles, but it was still good.

I hadn't visited Panvimarn in 6 years, so when my group at work decided to go here for a lunch outing, I knew we'd be in for a good meal, unlike the last place we went to where Murphy's Law was pestering us from multiple angles. The day before, we had decided on our entrees and placed our orders while making a reservation for noon the next day. On a previous visit, most of my then groupmates selected the BBQ Chicken and Ribs Lunch Special, and I couldn't forget the number of times I kept hearing a server say, "BBQ Chicken and Lips" instead. Other than the Salmon Teriyaki n Pineapple Fried Rice, which I tried back then, that was the only other lunch special that piqued my interest, so it was a no-brainer to go with that. Plus, I wanted to see if I'd hear the word "lips" again lol. To my surprise, I was the only one in my group who ordered that while nearly half the others went with the Pad See-Ew, which is under the Oodles of Noodles part of the menu. This may have caused some bad timing on when the dishes came out, even with a reservation, however. Let me explain. I mentioned earlier we had our reservation at noon. We arrived over 5 minutes early, but the first dishes didn't come out until a quarter after noon. These first dishes were mostly the Pad See-Ew, but my BBQ Chicken and Ribs were nowhere to be found. As a matter of fact, *all* the noodle dishes came out first, but none of the non-noodle dishes arrived until about 10 minutes later. This caused a little discomfort because my groupmates who ordered the noodle dishes were waiting until the rest of us got our dishes before commencing the feast. Once I got my BBQ Chicken and Ribs, which didn't come with a mention of "lips", the others got their dishes as well, and we started to feast! I probably had the largest plate since it contained two different kinds of meat, a mound of steamed jasmine rice, and a nice helping of fresh mixed spring salad. I didn't realize until later that evening I could have subbed the jasmine rice for natural brown rice, which I would have preferred. Whoops, but the jasmine rice was still good, absorbing the excess sauces like a sponge. I'm glad I got my meal last because both of the meats were pretty tender and juicy. Even the ribs were fall off the bone tender, and I appreciated that, though gnawing through bone after bone was such an ordeal that by the time some groupmates finished their main courses, I was only halfway done with mine! With how much I enjoyed the BBQ Chicken and Ribs, I understood why it was such a popular choice on my first visit, especially since it was much less expensive back then compared to now. It also came with two sauces, one kind of like an orange duck sauce, and the other a much spicier sauce with hints of spicy peppers that pack a real punch! I'm guessing they were serrano peppers, but I didn't bother to ask. Some groupmates asked for takeout boxes, but I managed to finish my plate without a problem. Shortly after, our first dessert arrived. We shared the Cookies & Cream Gelato Cake, with a cherry on top of each slice. The thinner part of the cake was easy to cut, but when I tried to cut the thicker part with my spoon, it proved to be immensely difficult! I wish we had knives to help with this, but all we were given were spoons. The cake was pretty good, but not as sweet or flavorful as an Oreo milkshake, which I'd inhale in a heartbeat. We also got to try the Mango Sticky Rice, a seasonal dessert. I could have cared less for sticky rice having already had rice in my main course, but the mango was quite good, though it was not the perfect ripeness. Either it was on the verge of being overripe, or it was just a smidge short of ripe. It was good to try, but I wouldn't order it again. I suppose it comes down to acquired taste here. Service was alright, but nothing out of the ordinary. They were punctual at removing used plates on our tables, but I can't be certain they appreciated our patronage that much. Maybe they were tired from going up and down the stairs so much (we were on the second floor). Also, I wish they were better on timing of when the dishes came out. 10 minutes isn't too bad, but when you consider it was between 15 and 25 minutes past our reservation when we had already placed our orders beforehand, that's a different story. We were there for over an hour, so definitely don't expect a short lunch break here. Overall, still a solid place for Thai, and I'd definitely be looking forward to trying a noodle dish on a future visit. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their dishes, but one of them who ordered a Pad See-Ew mentioned he tasted some egg shells in his dish. Hopefully that was just a one-off, which I'm willing to say it was considering how delicious their food has been of all the times I've dined there.

Came on a weekday around 5pm so there was no wait. Ordered pad thai with chicken, and golden curry with chicken + steamed rice on the side. Everything was delicious. The pad thai had a good amount of sauce, and the golden curry was comforting with a little spice. For dessert, I got mango sticky rice. The mango was nice and ripe, with the sweet sticky rice sauce. Pretty solid thai spot!

The ambience is amazing. Medium to loud so perfect for families and kids. They have an upstair seating unlike most places. Ample of parking in the strip mall. Service was decent, though our server was really good. We got things customized since we are vegetarian but ofcourse some of the items like the Spring rolls and Soup were premixed and cannot be subbed. Their soup has chicken broth so not ideal for vegetarians. The pad thai was decent but lacked simple things like lemon, it was overly sweet. The red curry though was absolutely high class amazing. Spicy, tasty and flavorful. One thing I didnt realize until we were almost done was they never asked about spice level, which was strange. Overall pretty decent experience. It is kinda on the pricer side but not too bad..

Had dinner here on a Wednesday evening with a friend, my first time ever. We split a papaya salad, pad Thai, and a soup (not sure which one.) Asked for tofu in each because he's vegetarian. The papaya salad was amazing! Refreshing with a kick and I'm still thinking about it 3 days later. The Pad Thai was delicious. The soup lacked flavor but my friend assured me that it usually tastes way better but today could have been an off day. I let the server know and they were so great about helping us have a good experience at the restaurant. They offered reimbursement but we chose the pad see ew instead which was so good Portion size was enough for two and price was fair Over all it was a great dining experience. Staff was super helpful and the food was delectable.

Was working in the area and was craving Thai so I gave this place a try. It was very pleased I would definitely go back when in the area

This review is strictly for the guy that took my to go order. I believe his name is Austin. Not warm and friendly on the phone. I showed up to pick up my order and it was the same energy. When he handed me my food, he didn't even look at me. He was talking to someone else and his head was turned, didn't bother to say thank you or even acknowledge that he was handing me the food. I'm all about supporting small businesses over corporate. But I will not be spending my money at this place again. Super unfortunate.

We decided to try a new Thai restaurant at work and went with Panvimarn. I ordered the tofu pad thai; it was decent. The tofu could've been better and I wish they provided me with a lime, but overall still good enough to eat it all.

This is one of my favorite Thai spots in LB. The papaya salad always tastes amazing. The Flaming bbq chicken has great flavor. The pad see ew is also my fave. The service is good they are attentive. This place never seems to be packed so it's never a wait to get seated. Will def continue to come back.

It started off rough, and honestly didn't end any better, lol. This place has three entrances, two from the back, and one in the front. We came from a back entrance and once we got to the front, it took a really long time for anyone to even acknowledge us, lol. Luckily we only had to wait about ~10 minutes or so to get a table. Thai tea: It was fine. A little heavy on the creamer compared to some other Thai places. Pretty decent, but I've definitely had better. Pad thai with chicken: Pretty standard for pad thai. Good amount of sweetness. I will say they are quite generous with their portion size and they also gave a large amount of chicken. Filet mignon panang curry: I'm not sure if we came on an off day, but this entree hardly looked Thai, let alone looked like curry?? I've had so many panang curries in my life and this was the strangest looking one by far. The "curry" was an unappetizing brown color, but worst of all, it was so RUNNY and WATERY (our server even spilled it on the table and floor when he was taking the plate away at the end of our meal, lol!) Looks aside, the flavor was lacking in spice as well as coconut flavor. The beef wasn't chewy at least, but the artichoke and spinach that is part of the dish was a...choice. Not sure if they are trying to be unique, but I'd rather them focus on making curry correctly in the first place before trying to add anything extra to this dish. Also for $30 (!!!) this entree doesn't even come with rice LMAO. It is the most expensive, but also the least satisfying, panang curry I've had thus far at any Thai restaurant. Mango sticky rice: Pretty standard and at least their mangos were decently sweet. I've been unlucky and have gotten sour mangoes sometimes, lol. Service after getting seated was fine, although a little slow in my opinion. Our server was nice enough and pretty friendly. Our food came out in a reasonable time. It was a little hard to flag down our server when we needed him and at the end we ended up going to the register because we didn't want to waste another 10-15 minutes waiting around for the check. Overall, neither the food nor the service were impressive, so I can't see myself coming back. There's no shortage of fantastic Thai restaurants in OC/LA, so do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

Nice staff and vibe but I'm not coming back because the noodle was too salty. Not the authentic thai taste for me.

Easily one of the best Thai food experiences I've had in a long time. The food is exquisitely spiced and beautifully flavored, leaving nothing to be desired by the palette. So many flavors, so little time. The ambiance was incredible as we sat at the bar and enjoyed the Cotton Bowl with some ice cold cocktails. I believe there's an upstairs as well but did not have the chance to check it out. I highly recommend coming here if you've got a Thai craving or if you're just in the mood for some explosive flavors and mouth watering smells. Prepare to have your taste buds rocked.

MY NEW FAVE RESTAURANT Love the gaudy and tacky interior. Looks like they threw together anything vaguely Asian in World Market. Food blew my mind. Definitely a Thai-fusion not exactly authentic but so well seasoned and sauced. Got Money Bags (10/10), Shrimp (8/10), Thai Style Ribs (7/10), Pork Pineapple Fried Rice (12/10!!!) and Pad Thai (10/10) The best pineapple fried rice I've ever had. So many pieces of pineapple caramelized thrown in. Can't wait to come back again for more dishes!!

First time here! Food was great, I am a sucker for mango and sticky rice so it was nice to end dinner with that. Service was a bit slow, but it was the end of the night. My only complaint would be having them refill the water or at least offer too. Our glasses were not once refilled. I did like the decor of the place, it was a nice little date night spot.
