Great food with a decent price! They have mango sticky rice!
We got chicken larb extra spicy and we were not let down. So good and Thai spicy my favorite. Not for the weak. -
One of the best spots for Thai food! Been going there for years. Definitely recommend to check this place out. It gets pretty packed at night so make sure to arrive earlier.

It feels like a childhood place where you get your childhood melas. The taste and the look are pretty authentic. My friend and I loved our orders. I love the mango sticky rice a lot, because the cook did a great job with the sticky rice, so sticky and soft and automatic.
One of affordable place for a quick and authentic Thai food! -

A true North Hollywood establishment with great thai food + a huge menu. We always order the crab cakes to share. Try their fried rice with shrimp paste if your a fan of their combination fried rice. Pad see ew is great and so are their rice plates, like the garlic pepper + your protein choice. I think there are some items on the menu that are better than others, but you just have to know what to order.
Service is great, Apple has been there for decades. My mom used to come here after clubbing in the 90s and now its my turn as they're still open late. I miss their old interior since the recent remodel, however the world clocks are still up on the wall! -

This restaurant has been in business (here) for a long time. They had a big following before the covid pandemic, but as in many other places, business was affected.
Their menu is excellent- the soups, wonton, seafood dishes, chicken, beef, pork, and the best vegetables are used. We love their Wonton Soup and my wife is especially nuts for their Shrimp Fried Rice.
Anytime you go will be fine, as far as crowds are concerned. Their service isn't perfect but then again, 'service' is a subjective topic.
The cashier normally will answer phone orders and greet walk-ins. Of course, you can dine in as well.
Street Parking is available. They also have a parking lot with one Handicap space. It is usually full.
If you become a regular and call your order in, they log what you've ordered thus making it fast and easy.
They are closed on Tuesdays (today), so tomorrow, I'm calling in my order and picking it up. They won't deliver to Oxnard/Port Hueneme, though- LOL!
Bon Mangare!

OG spot for Thai food in NoHo. Missed the ambience of the old interior with neon lights before the renovation but food is still tasty. We always get the seafood soup, crab cakes, and pad see ew. Unfortunately not open till 2-3 am anymore like before.
