Recommend spicy basil fried rice. I like it with brown rice and no onion. Secret menu possibility: order the chicken skewers, if they’re available, for an appetizer. 10/10 but not always an option.
Big portions on all dishes I’ve tried.
100% pure Thai, owner is from Bangkok.

DELICIOUS FOOD! Large portions and very fresh. Place has been there 33 years. Everything was perfect! Older man waiter was so nice. Cool vibe to the place. I’d give 6 stars if I could.

We were staying right round the corner while in LA and were for a quiet place to dine. I was particularly looking for some Asian food while this popped up. Went over and was pleasantly surprised. It’s a nice cozy place and Paul is a really nice person and host. Took care of us really well. Oh and the food was really good too. We ordered chicken dim sums, prawn spring rolls, chicken & coconut rice and chicken fried rice. Every one of them was really well done. Thank you for your hospitality Paul!

I was randomly walking on Pico when I saw the lone restaurant open in the area at 10pm on Friday night. The neighborhood is a Jewish area and Sabbath is practiced.
The place is very popular amount people who work at the Fox Studio nearby.
Pleasantly surprised how good the food is. Pick the specials on the right side of the menu.
I had the Paul’s shrimp noodles. It was excellent!! It took inspiration from Italian shrimp scampi but with a twist of Thai flavor. I love it.
#7 Spicy crispy pork , friend egg, bell veggie and rice. Savory and sweet dish.
David is the Thai owner with a distinctive goatee. He is very friendly.

Very tangy chicken pad thai passes the test. It has a really unique garlicky taste. The chicken fried rice is superb. The chicken satay is excellent. The papaya salad is great. You can ask for an unspicy version. The owner is very nice and attentive. This Thai restaurant stays open very late which is great. Meter parking.

This has quickly become my favorite Thai restaurant. Everything was really excellent! They’re also open till 2 a.m., so you can eat delicious meals late at night.
I like how the dish isn’t overly saucy. And all of the flavors came from actual spices. Perfection!

I had the pleasure of meeting Paul and his wife, who own and operate this wonderful restaurant. Paul is not only one of the kindest and most genuine people I’ve met in quite some time, but he’s also a great cook, as is his wife. I highly recommend trying the red curry shrimp with vegetables and rice—it’s absolutely delicious. Walking into their restaurant was a breath of fresh air because of Paul’s genuine kindness and authenticity, which is quite uncommon in the area where we were staying. They use family recipes and are dedicated to preserving them without alteration. If you’re craving good Thai food and excellent customer service, I highly recommend stopping by.

Perfect dinner! This has definitely become my new favourite restaurant in L.A.!! Not only the staff are all friendly AND Thais (meaning u’d likely be getting a truly authentic Thai food here like I had ), also the prices are so reasonable given the amount of food you get!!
Highly recommended to anyone who would like to have a real taste of Thai food!!!

this place plays beautiful music with interesting chairs and nice scenery. Their food is pretty good. They’re not chairs. They’re actually sofas and they have tiny little pillows which don’t do anything, but they’re pretty pretty comfortable all on their own a nice mirror that spans the place

The entrance is fairly dark, but once in, the service is attentive and warm. The food was delicious. Favorite, coconut rice with corn, so good. The portions are large. The only small disappointment was the satay.
