Excellent

by CSMobileUser

I've been going to that restaurant since I wa about 11 years old and it is the best thai food I've ever taste and I've been going to other places to compare it and they are not half as good as this one. Ask for the spicy 7 seas sea food

BAD SERVICE

by mustcop

wanted to try a new place, went there with 4 people. waiters come and go , ignoring us. finally we order, they end up bringing completely wrong dishes. we asked if we would get charged for those wrong dishes and they said yes. they dont understand the concept of "customer shouldn't pay for meals they didn't order". the food was ok, prefer tips house for fast thai food.

  • Pros: location
  • Cons: SERVICE, FOOD

Good, cheap, take-out Chinese

by simplydarius

There's plenty of pan-asian restaurants in Korea-town, but I was delighted to find this value-- so worth it because the chinese-thai-japanese food is reliably good instead of just passable in each of those arenas. I haven't ever seen vegetable dumplings on their menu, but they were recommended to me when I asked about meatless egg rolls and they are fantastic. You get a lot of food with your order, and yes, it's a touch heavy, but overall the place is just what I want in a in a local take-out joint.

  • Pros: you'll find what you want with a good price to boot
  • Cons: the interior can come off a Little dingy

OTJAS, the way our kidz like to say it...

by reepicheep

A place to go, for good, cheap and fast served food. We go here already for years together, w/ kids or w/ friends and family. Took our parents from Holland and they also loved the food, and they are critical. The spice seafoodsoup is of the hook, and let me tell you if everyone orders someting else, you'll hav e feast that is to big for the table. Mark my words, you'll go home and have the same the next day at your own place (unless you eat it all).

  • Pros: cheap, fast seved, tasty
  • Cons: atmosphere, parking, waiting line my aply

ask for 7 seas soup

by simplyjg

The highlight of the house is the so tasteful 7 seas soup. Oh my gosh, anytime you need a pick me upper go here. This soup is the best soup in the world. No other soup can compare. I love this place for that soup. It is forever crowded but worth the wait after you have had the 7 Seas soup. can you "Siete Mares"? Even the asians that work there know what that means. I reccomend this place. Oh the thai ice tea is the bomb too.

  • Pros: 7 seas soup, Thai Iced Tea
  • Cons: , long line, but worth the wait

Great food but very inexpensive!

by uscbum

I found this place by driving home from filming late one night and saw a ton of people out front waiting. I love Thai food but the biggest problem with thai restaurants is that you never knwo what you are going to get. I figured that all thos people could be wrong. Try the quail egg soup...very tasty. However, let it be known that when they say "Hot" they mean hot. The spicy garlic chicken is awesome but you'll probably suffer third degree burns. Also, the "bird's nest soup" is not a euphemism...it's an actual bird's nest! The service here is super fast. You have your soup within a minute of ordering and the fodd will not be far behind. If you can ever find a time that this place is not busy...you'll be in and out in very little time. A+

  • Pros: Great food, Super fast service, Very nice people
  • Cons: A little dingy, Long wait on occasion, Noisy

Superb

by jsaechee

My family is from Thailand and we visit the country frequently and this is my ultimate standard for authentic Thai food in LA. Along with its neighbor Vim Classic (also good), I've been going here for many many years. Stick to the Thai dishes (not the Chinese offerings) and you will taste pure un-Americanized Thai flavors. Try Hot Seafood Soup, Beef Salad, Pad Thai with the Thai Iced Tea!

  • Pros: Fantastic Food, Fast Service, Great Prices
  • Cons: Tough parking, Crowded

Good food, good price, poor ambience

by dwyer3

The food was very good as was the price. This restaurant was an excellent value, but I recommend "take-out". Crowded "cafeteria" like atmosphere. The service was good too. Great hot chili sauce (green) and the pork Chow Mein was excellent.

Good Food but not authentic Thai food

by Kishi

I just went there for lunch and the food was excellent. However I have to admit, I was looking forward to the Chicken Curry but it did not have potatoes in it. This is what I am accustom to in most authentic Thai food restaurants. Let's just say it's not authentic.
