The Thai Thing

In a city filled with excellent choices for Thai food, it takes an extraordinary restaurant to impress me. The Thai Thing delivers. The music selection was all 80s, the staff was fantastic, and the food was euphoric. Their Michelin rated Cashew is a must try. Just bring a jacket if it's cold outside.

Wow, we showed up at just after 9p looking for dessert and boy did we chose wisely. The service was lovely and the dessert (Roti Ice Cream and Pink Milk) was super yummy and beautifully presented! The atmosphere was relaxed but classy with the pretty outdoor area set up and fresh flowers in vases on all the tables. EDIT: Still happy with service and food (yummy!!!!) after SEVERAL return visits both for dine-in and take-out.

I would highly recommend this restaurant! It has great outdoor patio and cozy indoor dining room. The food was absolutely delicious! The food is authentic and prepared original Thai recipes. The food came out fast and i was full after eating my chicken fried rice and egg rolls . I will keep coming back

Amazing food! As an appetizer, we got the "Moo Yarng". It was a bit on the greasy side, but the flavor was enjoyable. We got the "Kao Mun Kai Tod" and the "Kua Kai"! Everything was mouthwatering!

Food is FRESH!! My Pad Thai came out made to order and beautifully presented. The flavors were amazing and it was perfectly seasoned. I also enjoyed a Thai tea and some mango sticky rice and those were incredible as well. Service is fast and friendly and the atmosphere was great. I sat at the bar top facing the patio and street and had an enjoyable experience. I can’t wait to go back again.

You might have a bit of a wait for your food, but it’s worth it! I started with a glass of the Thai iced tea and it’s amazing!!! Perfect smooth and sweet combination. My entree was the chicken phad Thai at 3 stars of spiceyness The indoor seating is truly pleasant and there is even outdoor seating!! So many wonderful things to come Back for!!!

This is one of my favorite eateries in west Hollywood. The food is authentic n always fresh. We ordered the egg rolls for an Appetizer and they were very light. My rice with fried chicken was a large portion and seasoned very well. I am not a fan of the crust on chicken, but this is so good, I order it repeatedly. My son enjoyed his spicy dish of glass noodles with chicken, shrimp, and mushrooms. We will continue to eat there every chance we get. They are only open in the evening, though.

This Thai foods restaurant was so good! To be honest the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever tried in LA. I like the atmosphere here more like a home cooked meal which is very traditional and authentic. I recommend pai Thai,yellow curry the green roll here. Actually I wanna try everything on this menu. If I have friends visit LA I will take them to this restaurant.This is a fully spontaneous recommendation not a advertisement cause I really have a great time here. Hope you guys enjoy:))))

The food was so delicious! My favorite was the mango sticky rice and the Pad Thai. I would easily say that this is one of the best Thai restaurants in LA. Also, the workers were so friendly and welcoming, overall such a warm and cozy atmosphere :)

Lovely place with good food and great service. Biked here and appreciated all of the space to sit next to my bike on the patio (looked like there was lots of car parking too). Loved the Thai Limenade and the enjoyed the Tom Kha soup and Pad Khee Mao. The server was so accommodating of my food preferences and was able to make my dishes vegan. Food came out fast and was nice sized portions.

Love this place! My favorite Pad Thai in the area. My friends loved their spicy yellow curry as well. Service is good and fast. It’s a small place but cute, better when it’s nice out and you can sit outside. Highly recommend!

In a sea of mediocre Thai restaurants in LA this is an absolutely fantastic Thai spot. The quality of the ingredients and how they are prepared was spectacular. I got the fresh rolls which were very fresh, and came with a divine peanut sauce. Additionally, I got the tofu pad Thai and wow! The tofu was so crispy, and the flavor of the dish was perfectly balanced. The service was spectacular as well. Highly recommend!

The BEST Thai food I’ve had in LA. I dream of their Panang curry. It’s rich and savory and feels so nourishing. Also love the fresh rolls, their peanut sauce is to die for. Can’t wait to go back!

Michelin reviewed! I was pleasantly surprised that I stumbled over this place with my boo. They have a small parking lot that can hold a few cars, but mostly street parking. The service was super friendly and professional. They have an indoor and outdoor area for seating. The Thai food here is very refined and executed very well. They balance a lot of the flavors so it can seem a bit subtle compared to other Thai restaurants that you may have visited. Presentation and flavors are very clean! For appetizers, we got the Papaya Salad and White Sticky Rice. The Papaya Salad was very healthy and had a subdued saltiness that is different than what I'm used to. Still good though, but more balanced. It paired well with some White Sticky Rice and had a nice crunch from the cabbage. The Thai Beef Stew was amazing! The broth was so pure and clean! Super yummy and extremely tasty. The cuts of beef were plentiful, but had some cartilage fiber that may not be as palatable to some. I enjoyed it thoroughly though. It came with White Jasmine Rice which was perfect. The Khao Soi was bomb too! Super creamy and well made. Large pieces of chicken and plenty of noods! Always an excellent dish that more people need to know about! All in all, def one of my favorite Thai eats in Los Angeles!

Passed this spot a few times, loved the name so we gave it a try. The Garlic Noodles were highly tauted on social media so I ordered them, and they are amazing. The dumplings were a little dissappointing as they were bland and the texture was off. No bar, great service with indoor and outdoor seating. A little pricey but in line with this LA neighborhood. Taste **** Quality/Freshness **** Presentation/Uniqueness *** Service ****** Atmosphere *** Cleanliness **** Value ***

A twist on authentic Thai food. The restaurant is small but nice and cute. A lot of people get to goFood is good, staff is on par. I got the glass noodles with pork and shrimp. It was really good! The appetizer of beef and crab I wasnt a fan of at all. Not worth $9. Bottom line, a solid thai place that is close by

The Thai Thing: meh, with a side of meh. We chose this spot to support a local business and have a quiet place to talk. They let us sit outside, which I appreciated, but the service soured the whole visit. The staff felt reluctant, cold, almost like our presence was a bother. Even when asking for change to leave a cash tip, the attitude was unwelcoming. I was ready to order more, but instead I cut the meal short. With food that hovers around average and service that pushes you out the door, I cannot recommend a return. Food: Chicken Wings + Papaya Salad - The chicken wings were five pieces, three flats and two drums, with that extra joint still attached. Not the best deal size-wise, but the wings themselves were tasty. The sauce they came coated in was the highlight, rich and flavorful, though the tangy side sauce fell flat. The papaya salad, ordered mild, was even more disappointing. No other flavors, garlic, no balance, just a pile of bland crunch without character. Verdict: Charisma 4. Uniqueness 3. Nerve 3. Talent 4.

Not the friendliest staff or best interior seating. But it is a good place to see/try. Most items are very tasty but some others are okay. Its a quick meal place… somewhere for you to grab a quick bite and have a chill hang out chill with friends, family or your old time boyfriend/girlfriend etc.

The service was excellent and friendly; the space was well-decorated, and the parking was spacious. HOWEVER! I'd say I never feel disappointed with Thai foods in LA, but this was my first time feeling that way. The food was not up to the quality or even close to the authenticity, and we ordered a few dishes to test out. I'd say it was 3/10 for authenticity. I do not recommend it to people who visit LA from out-of-town. Thai foods in Thai towns are better!

My friend and I walked in to have dinner and the waitress told us to have a seat. She wanted to sit us next to the door, and we didn't want that, as the entire restaurant was empty but two tables. So we sat closer to the inside away from from the open doors. She ignored us the entire time. No water. No communication. Nothing. She served the other tables and catered to them. We ended getting up and leaving. The guy behind the counter came around, but ended up sitting and talking to the two people at the OTHER table.
