Chao Krung Thai 111 North Fairfax Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90036

"Absolutely delicious and authentic Thai food! The Tom Kha was spectacular, the green curry and Pad Thai very good, the Thai tea excellent and the mango sticky rice divine. The best I’ve had so far in LA. Staff seemed a bit grumpy, but still nice. Lovely decoration too."

"Really high quality food, lovely service, and wonderful ambiance. Soups, noodle dishes, and some side dishes can be made without fish or oyster sauce. Curries are premade and cannot be made vegan, sadly, but the deserts are plant-based (and fantastic - so much so I forgot to take pictures of them!). Parking is tricky before 7pm as most meters on/off Fairfax are one hour, but more options can be found further away if you're willing to walk."

"I was most shocked by the low rating of this restaurant given that the food is fantastic! We ordered the eggplant basil and glass noodle salad without celery, and both were an explosion of flavour. The food tasted authentic here, and it left me wanting more. I would 10/10 be down to return and try more dishes. The service was decent. It took a bit to get the waiter's attention so that we could place our order but nothing unreasonable, and everyone was nice and accommodating. The aesthetic of this place is stunning! The decor is ornate with lovely colours and designs, and the tableware and serving dishes complete the look. By far this is one of the most aesthetic Thai establishments I have visited in California."

"Came here on a Saturday at 1pm when they opened. Was one of the first customers and had my seating of choice. Service was prompt and polite. I dined in as well as ordered take out. Their lunch meal set are great! Lots of selections to choose from (rice, noodles, curry, soups). Size is nicely portioned. All the food was tasty, nicely flavored, and fresh tasting. If I'm back in the Beverly Center area, I will definitely stop in again."
