Authentic Thai street noodles & flavorful ka pao
"LA has lots of great street vendors, but few of them put on a show like Rad Na Silom. Every day from 6pm to midnight, this curbside stir-fry station outside Silom Supermarket in Thai Town turns into a half-block of folding tables and string lights, sizzling woks, and speakers blasting melodramatic Sam Smith covers (they also make an appearance at Smorgasburg on Sundays). The stir-fried noodles you’ll find here are among the best in LA, from chewy wide rice noodles smoothed in rad na gravy to a saucy-but-balanced pad thai topped with handfuls of dried shrimp, ground peanuts, and bean sprouts. Everything on their simple eight-dish menu is just $10, and if you’re here Friday through Sunday, make sure to hit the outrageously good Thai boat noodle vendor that sets up on the same block, Mae Malai.

"For a taste of Bangkok street food, complete with plastic stools, visit this temporary stand that exists outside of Silom Supermarket at night and Smorgasburg on Sundays. The Sathirathiwat family’s pop-up has been a trending TikTok favorite, serving only eight dishes, ranging from rad nah stir-fried noodles in gravy to pad kra pao with a fried egg, with aplomb." - Kat Thompson
"Rad Na Silom is kind of like a mirage: it appears nightly at 5pm to transform an entire half-block of Hollywood Blvd into a Thai street food kitchen before vanishing at midnight. But if you show up between these hours after a few drinks at Harvard & Stone, then, no, you're not hallucinating— Rad Na Silom is real. There's a short menu of eight noodle dishes, including some excellent pad thai and pad see ew noodles in savory rad na gravy. Sit at one of the sidewalk tables with your plate of steaming noodles and take in the eclectic late-night crowd as Adele covers blast from the sound system." - brant cox, arden shore, nikko duren, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
"Sharing a sidewalk space in Thai Town on Hollywood Boulevard, I found Rad Nah Silom to be a popular wok-fired noodle operation with hardworking woks that send waves of fried chiles and garlic through the air; the shared setup is casual—low-set tables, wobbly plastic stools, and red-and-white checkered vinyl covers—creating an atmosphere the owner likened to Thailand and providing the streetside platform that invited Mae Malai to join their weekend service." - Kat Thompson
"This family-run, evenings-only Thai street-food spot made me giddily sit on a pink plastic stool on Hollywood Boulevard: the succinct, wok-fired menu has no slouches — a well-balanced pad thai topped with crunchy dried shrimp, comforting rad na noodles, and an irresistible pad kra pao (bird-eye chiles, Thai basil, ground pork) served over rice with the option of a fried egg that delivers a righteous burn." - Eater Staff
