This is a great place to eat if you have been out all night in hollywood. They're open late and the food is great to get that late night hunger out of the way. It gets really busy there on the weekends cause everybody knows... (more)

I'm still looking for a comparable place to Thai Nakorn in Stanton on Beach/Chapman. I really thought this would be the one. It's really just more like Thai fast-food. It wasn't bad food, but they only use dark meat... (more)

Rude servers, my friends came from other state and were craving for Thai food. I thought of this restaurant and I felt so embarrass for the way service was given. The servers did not care and served us cold food, spilled... (more)

I think that some of the other reviewers just have an adversion to Hollywood. Yes Hollywood can be a bit nasty, but hey it's home. I had a great meal, the servers were nice, good tea, mixed ethnic crowd. The only issue I... (more)

It may not be a very "pretty" restaurant, and the parking may bit a bit complicated. But when I crave Thai food, this is THE place to go. Don't dress up, it feels a lot more like a cafeteria than a restaurant, but I promise... (more)

There's also a Sanamluang Cafe at 12980 Sherman Way. This place is cheap and their noodle dishes hitt the spot, much like the Hollywood location. Parking in the lot is a nightmare, but luckily plenty of spots can be... (more)

I've been going to Sanamluang for about 10 years now. Their Thai iced tea, soups, shrimp cakes and noodle dishes are the best in LA--hands down--especially for the price. The service is actually quite good for such a... (more)

I can't say there are all bad, the fried dishes, such as fried tofu, shrimp cake, are pretty good. Poor services just for Thai custommers(That's why I can see almost no Thai custommers eat there.) I ordered roast duck... (more)

I don't get the folks saying the North Hollywood location is better. I've been there a couple times, and think the Hollywood one is better. Then again, it has a kind of Chinese thing going on with the food, and maybe... (more)

This is by far one of my favorite places to go. Their Thai iced tea with boba (tapioca pearls) is the most delicious of all the Thai teas that I've tried in Los Angeles. They're open super late, so it's a great spot to go for... (more)
