President Thai Restaurant

"I expected so much because of the ratings. Too much sweet. There should be some balance between sour and sweetness. Shrimps were fresh. Little pricey."

"I was thoroughly impressed with this Thai restaurant, which we discovered on LA's list of top eateries. It lived up to its reputation by offering exceptionally tasty dishes. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I visited with my family, and we all enjoyed a variety of plates, each one delightful. While parking can be challenging, it's worth the wait for a spot. This establishment also serves the best Thai iced tea I've ever tasted, with just the right amount of sweetness and rich flavor."

"Came here around 5:30 for dinner so there wasn't much of a wait. However, there were already quite a lot of people seated and only 2 parking spots left. The parking lot is a bit cramped but they do have extra parking available in the next building if you drive more. We were seated almost right away and ordered the Pad See Ew (17.95), President BBQ Beef (21.95), and the Tom Yum Soup with Chicken. The soup was served first and after around 10 minutes of waiting. The soup wasn't what I expected- too salty and sour. It didn't fit my taste so I couldn't drink much of it and only ate the chicken and mushroom in it. After the soup, the other 2 dishes took another 5 to 10 minutes to be served. They were both pretty good- much better than the soup. The pad see ew and the beef were both very flavorful. However, the beef was a bit too charred and the flavor felt too strong as I ate more of it. The portions are also very small for the price. If I had a bigger appetite or ate with people with bigger appetites, 3 dishes would definitely not be enough. As for the service and enivornment, the servers were fast and friendly but it is very loud inside that I can barely have a conversation. Overall, the food wasn't bad and felt like authentic thai food. My favorite would be the pad thai see ew and I would like to try the other pad thai, fried rices, and meat dishes. I can see why the restaurant gets so busy. The portions are just disappointing though."

"They're super kind and attentive! Came here for a friends birthday and had a great time celebrating them. They're super fast with ordering and helping us make decisions along with serving the food. Looking forward to coming back soon! Parking was a bit tough, it's small right where they are but I saw there was street parking and additional parking around the area."
