What is your favorite Thai restaurant?

If you haven't been to Hae Ha Heng Thai Bistro yet, you're seriously missing out. It's a total hidden gem — super homey, chill atmosphere but the food is absolutely next level. 

I ordered the Yellow Curry with tofu, Pad Thai with seafood, and Spicy Eggplant with chicken, and they were all so amazing. 

You can tell everything’s made with love and legit Thai flavors, not dumbed down for the masses. Once you go, it becomes your go-to Thai place. Highly, highly recommend. 🙌

If you're looking for the best Thai food in LA, you have to hit up Palms Thai Restaurant. 🔥 

Legit, it’s the kind of place where every dish feels like a love letter from Thailand. The flavors are crazy bold — spicy, tangy, sweet, and savory all perfectly balanced. Their pad see ew is ridiculously good (like, you’ll crave it at 2 AM), and the curry has this deep, rich flavor that’s hard to find elsewhere. Plus, the vibe is super casual and fun — sometimes there's even live music, which just adds to the whole experience. 

Portion sizes are generous too, and prices are still pretty reasonable compared to a lot of trendy spots. Solid 10/10 - if you're in the Hollywood area, this is the Thai place to go.
