Pailin Thai Cuisine 5621 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90028

"I just got back from Thailand and this place is just as good as the real thing. The pad thai is on the sweeter side but the texture is excellent. The khao soi is also delicious and definitely worth a try if you've never had it before. My friend tried it here for the first time and loved it. The service is great, the prices are unbearable ($2 for Thai tea, $10-$11/entree) and the environment is calm and easy. I went on a Friday at 7:30 and had no problem getting a seat. Highly recommend!"

"Wonderful Thai food, the flavors of every dish are amazing, from the Shrimp Hot Pot to the Duck Curry to Chicken Pad Thai, Chili Whole Fish to Lo Mein. The Thai Iced Tea was so good! Everything is a great value! You can't miss by going to this little family-owned place!"

"11/19/22: Had the Kao Soi (4.5*) and the Northern Sausage (4*, interesting novelty but I'd only order it once in a while). Very reasonable prices."

"I loved eating there! Roast duck curry was superb, I could really taste the curry leaves, basil, bamboo shoots, the duck was tender! The store atmosphere is chill and homey, no server hovering over you but service is fast if you just wave them down. Rice is additional $2 but everything else is very reasonably priced, 120% recommend!!"

"Whoever coined the rather disrespectful term "hole in the wall" failed to account for rather delicious food being cooked in less than stellar establishments. This is one of those places. A small restaurant with lots of charm and appeal. The decor was nice, the service was great and the food was the best Thai food I've eaten in a while. Highly recommended! Also, their Thai Tea is, unlike in most other places, actually good."
