I've been coming to Thai Patio and Thai Town sister businesses here in the New Hollywood Plaza for a long time. It's one of my favorites for many reasons.
Try the spicy seafood soup which features about fifty dollars worth of premium seafood. It is served in a flaming pot and it has cured quite a few colds for me and my friends. Five stars.
Be adventurous and give the traditional Thai dishes a shot, like the wild boar. You can choose from numerous vegetarian and vegan options as nearly the entire four page menu can be made with fried or steamed tofu instead of meat.
Thai Patio has been featuring local live musicians and late night eats for a long time. A true story about Thai Town USA and poem to follow. Skip to the end or bypass if that's not your thing. Come here for the great food, service and value.
I started coming here in the late nineties when I was a teenager in a rock band. Back then, the Hollywood music scene was incredible but we didn't have Uber or Lyft to help us make it home safely.
To help people in Hollywood get home safely, and reduce automotive fatalities, a few Thai restaurants in the area opened their doors after the bars and clubs closed. My band loved the lifesaving efforts from the Thai community and this restaurant, so we came here every day before rehearsal and recommended this restaurant to our fans to make sure they made it home.
Once upon a time there was a handicapped and disabled person who failed a field sobriety test due to her handicaps. And though she passed a few blood alcohol tests, it was difficult to explain she was blind where her field test was given.
She thought about cashing with a lawsuit in honor of disabled people but at the height of the pandemic there was something much more important.
In honor of George Floyd, she collected signatures from criminals who took credit for their actions and asked to forward their support for better treatment to people of color and with disabilities in a signed letter to a judge. The white career criminals who turned themselves in for their actions in honor of a black man is my personal favorite part of that story.
This seems like a beautiful place to leave a poem. A love story. A love story about making it home safely.
Cheers Yelp! The best and only place to leave my favorite stories and poems!
Peace and love to Thai Patio and Thai Town USA. Thanks for all you do for the community and to help us make it home safely.
"LA LOVE SONG"
She was from the big city, where the snakes learned how to shake hands.
He was in the entertainment business where you finish a murder with a decaf.
Even though she just met him, he knew how to make her laugh.
She said it's not what you came in with, but where you take a STAND
Does anyone believe in love at first glance?
Later that evening there will be a car crash
She didn't wear much makeup, and he thought she had a pretty smile
H e looked better than his picture because you couldn't see the color of his eyes
They didn't want the night to end there, so he left to take her for a ride
Somebody else, somewhere, shouldn't have let their friends drink and drive
In a few moments the car is gonna roll ten times
And it didn't matter when the engine caught fire
He will tell her, girl, I'm so glad I found you
I'm not leaving without you now
And in twenty years, they laugh about it
How that promise stayed alive
They never left each other's sides
From the car crash on their first date
Through the fire floods and earthquakes
They will hold each other's hand
Waiting for an ambulance
Like the first time he told her,
Girl, I'm so glad I found you
I'm not leaving without you now
Many thanks to everyone who helps us make it home safely.;)
