on Citysearch Apr 24, 2008Most of the soup just tastes like water. The chicken is bland, and dry. This place is way Overrated and it smells dirty, and is dirty. Service is ok, but not worth it. Overall, I feel yucky when I go here.... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 06, 2008Torung is in the heart of Thai Town in Hollywood & real Thai people (from Thailand) eat here... that is always a good indicator of authenticity. They have a tank in the entrance with fresh seafood. Leather... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 10, 2007I don't understand why this place has such high praise. I went there because of the reviews and I was disappointed. It was okay, but not the greatest Thai food. I'd say give it a try, but don't expect anything great. It's... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 09, 2006There are so many Thai restaurants to chose from, but Torung is one of a handful that never disappoints. The service can be a little slow/ surly, but nothing that would prevent me from going there. The Tom-Ka-Kai is the... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 06, 2006The chicken satay is my favorite! Try the Tom Yum soup (spicy chicken soup) it has a strong lemon taste and spicy kick. I got sick the first time I ate there but I have been back to Torung for probably 25+ dinners and have... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 20, 2006I live in Thai Town so I've had my pick of the litter. I've even been to the west LA joints like Tuk Tuk and some other places that I don't remember. Tourung has really good prices. It costs less than $6 to get a shrimp meal.... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 16, 2003Apologies for the unintentional rhyming there... Anyway, what's left to say about Torung? Nice central location for almost anyone. The decor is awful, the food is quite good. Spiciness lovers swear by the Red... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 24, 2003It's tough to make a mistake here. From the Duck Noodles, to the Pad Kee Mow, which is not on the menu, but if you ask, they'll make it. The Pork Noodle soup has a hint of lemongrass is really great. Ask them to mix in some... (more)
