  • This tiny spot nestled in LA's Thai Town serves tantalizing Thai cuisine far from the Americanized versions found at most eateries in the area. Forget about pad Thai and spring rolls - this place is all about bold, spicy flavors hailing from northern Thailand. Their menu boasts mouthwatering dishes like jackfruit curry, bamboo shoot curry, kaeng kua curry, and spicy stir-fried catfish that will leave your taste buds singing. Sit down, let your mouth water while you watch this video, and be sure to visit next time you're in LA!

      Yup, we in LA are so lucky to have a large enough population of Vietnamese, Thai, Indian, Mexican, South/Central American, Korean people etc., that we can travel and enjoy incredible, authentic cuisines from all over without leaving home. Its so sad that tourists go to Rodeo Drive thinking that’s the most interesting thing about LA. Its these little mom and pop shops that truly represent what it means to be an Angeleno.
