With Thai dishes so “spicy” and “superb” (seriously, “be careful”because “medium here means ‘have the ice water ready’”) and prices so moderate, this East Hollywood setup for “adventurous” eaters “ain’t your usual pad Thai joint”; other than the “ordinary mini-mall”decor and “leisurely” service, it “lives up to its hype” as a “city treasure.”
The most popular Thai restaurant in town is famous not for its pad Thai, but for its stunning specialties from Thailand’s southern tail—curries enhanced with cassia buds or sataw beans, fried fish rubbed with fresh turmeric, mango salad with cashews, and the most awesomely spicy dishes your tongue will ever meet.
The spiciest food you can eat in Los Angeles at the moment.
