Overrated.

by callilily

Most 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.

• Pros: Late night dining, inexpensive.
• Cons: No taste, dirty.

really good food for a limited wallet

by missmb

love the food. the coconut milk chicken soup is the best. the waitresses are really nice (considering when you go to other places they are usually rude). its a great place to go after a night of dancing or drinking. the prices are considerable. they dont take a long while to get your food. my friends have been there at least 10 times in a month.

• Pros: great prices
• Cons: parking

okay place, but not the greatest

by porkch0p31

I 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 good for what it is, which is a small place that's open late at night when there aren't many options.

Bottom line: mediocre place to go to when you want something quick and cheap

• Pros: fast, cheap
• Cons: no parking

best Thai

by nanahana

I and my friends have been going back this place more than 30 times in this 3 years.

Food is the best, anything you order, it won't go wrong. never been disappointed, stuffs are nice.

We try other restaurants in Thai town, but always end up coming back to Torung. Food is addictive.

All the food comes out so quick. We never waited more than 7min. If you are hungry and want to eat good food right away, this is a good place. You can of course stay and chill there for a while. They don't rush you out.

If you love Thai food, you should try.

Local Thai Town favorite for casual dinner or late-night noshing.

In Short
Tucked away on the west end of the Thai Town strip, the decor is strictly no-frills décor. Comfy vinyl booths, unpretentious service and a kitchen that's open till 3am have made this friendly eatery both a neighborhood favorite and hipster destination. A Thai-Chinese is highlighted by Pad Thai and duck noodles, kow chai (dumpligns filled with chive-like greens) and steamed crab with curry and vegetables.

Great Thai food!

by born_on_earth

There 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 best of any I have tried, and the Pad-see-ewe is great too, but I've never had a bad meal here.

Yummy Late Night Spot

by applecob

The 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 been fine. Great Thai food in a diner-style atmosphere.

Tourung is the best Thai place in LA!

by powpowpow

I 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. The shrimp is good too, and deveined. The food is all really good. The pad see ew is probably my favorite, along with the mint leaf shrimp.

The waitresses are all super nice and the food might as well be fast food, unless they are super busy and then it's just pretty fast.

• Pros: great food, service, fast
• Cons: parking sometimes

those were the days.....

by heather_73

Fabulous food--especially for chili heads--the kitchen will comply with anything you desire--the nicest people. we used to go there after the Cat and Fiddle closed--with a bottle of wine, of course. Love the exotic Fish tank:! An old joke among my close friends. Great, comfortable fun very late at night, very warm staff, with great memories and corkscrews!!!

• Pros: food, staff, aquarium
• Cons: dicey neighborhood
