Best Thai In Hollywood;) !!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! (PART 2)

by DanielBeltran at Citysearch

3)Value and Portions

LUNCH!!!! has the best value.... You can walk out the door with a healthy meal for 8 dollars + tip. Includes soup-salad-roll-rice-and main item of choice (mine is usually the yellow curry or pad-thai) eating the entire plate is a pretty heavy task and could give the biggest person a run for their money.

DINNER is still a good value if you re with a odd number of people and sharing is involved.

Even so, plates will run in the 10-15 dollar range.. I ll always get the brown rice as well.

Expect to bring home a great deal of leftovers......

4)Service

Very nice people, tho they're fairly timid and may be too shy to ask twice about your order so be very clear and concise, or they'll bring out something random... they'll be somewhat forgiving if you explain the circumstance if there is a mix up.

5)Sanitation

Supposedly a 'B' but I believe it is because of its location in such an old building keeping up might be harder than in a new one. Their bathroom is just below par and sometimes their is a weird smell in the place but not lately.

Do not be mislead by the hype that TOI is superior, this is a farce. You can check out my blog on TOI as well.

Hope this helped:)

Curry Salmon with Coconut

by cmilburn at Citysearch

This was the best dish that I have ever eaten. I am not sure of the exact name of the dish. We live 200 miles away but will certain eat there next time I am in LA. I would love this recipe. The blend betweeen the coconut milk, vegetables, curry and salmon was heavenly. I would highly recommend this dish.

• Pros: Our meal was delivered promptly. It was hot and not overcooked.

Good food, but only if they give you what you actually ordered--HORRIBLE SERVICE

by musey at Citysearch

I ordered delivery from Sunset Thai tonight, and one of the items I requested was "fried wontons." They only list one menu item with that name, with no other options, and the description is "Cream cheese wrapped with wonton skin served with sweet and sour sauce."

When they came, they had a lumpy brown mess inside... when you are expecting cream cheese, that is not exactly appetizing. I called them immediately to ask whether they had another menu item listed under "fried wontons," and the woman who picked up said "yes, with cream cheese and with ground chicken." This was the same woman who had taken my order initially, and she did NOT give me these options at that time. I explained to her that the menu I had did not list any ground chicken option, and that when I ordered them I was after the cream cheese version... to which she said "Okay...." and then nothing more. She wasn't willing to send out a replacement, which is understandable, but she was also completely unwilling to apologize for the misstep.

We will NOT be ordering from them again, EVER.

• Cons: Slow delivery, wrong items brought, poor service
