    Upon walking in you'll see directions to navigate in their quaint cute store. Then a big whiff of pandan & coconut hits you immediately. Absolutely enticing, makes you want it even more! They were quite busy on a Tuesday afternoon here. Was able to grab a few items to try. The luk chup fruits looks too freaking adorable to eat. Great customer service! Desserts were nice & not too sweet just like how most Asian desserts are. Give them a try!

    Mango sticky rice
    Brandon K.

    Easily one of the best spots for mango sticky rice. A hidden gem that should get more recognition for sure. Every time my family eats out in Thai Town, we always stop by here. Can't go back home without it. They serve thai crepes, cakes, snacks, and other authentic desserts as well. This old school store feels familiar, yet unique in its own way. Staff are always friendly and quick. Mango sticky rice, 9.7/10: The base rice is cooked perfectly and I like how they add crispy rice on top. The coconut cream isn't too sweet and it adds the creaminess that compliments the sweet mango so well. Seems like the mango is always in season, the way it always tastes super sweet and fresh. Never astringent or sour. Maybe this rating is biased since mango is my favorite fruit and my grandma used to make this for us growing up. But idc, go try it.

    Had this place bookmarked for a while and finally had a chance to try it this week! Came on a Sunday night while we were waiting for Ruen Pair. It was close to 7pm and they still had a variety of fresh items. We saw that they were low on the crepes so we got some right away and then later came back to buy some more desserts! I got the crepes and the coconut pudding! The crepes were really unique! Couldn't figure out the flavors so we did google it. They were super crunchy but not overly hard. They're definitely much better warm! The coconut pudding was surprising! Inside included coconut pudding but also some sago and corn/taro. I loved it! I'm really looking forward to the next time I can come back! Definitely want to try more goodies!

    Came by after eating nearby to try some Thai snacks. Mango sticky rice was so good w super juicy and sweet mangos make a great combination with the sticky rice and crispy mung beans. I reallly enjoyed the salty crepes as the saltiness balances out the sweetness of the white part.

    Don't come here enough! If you LOVE Thai dessert, or just curious to try this is THE PLACE in LA to visit. Lots of Thai specialities, reminding me of my childhood. And it's freshly made too. It's shaped more like a mini dessert market than a restaurant so don't expect to be served or to sit down. A little crowded with so many different items to choose from but try everything and anything :) Just a cute little spot that transports you to a place filld with Thai sweets that goes beyond the typical mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream!

    So good!

    Every time I visit this plaza, whether to eat at Ruen Par, Thai Patio or grab a drink at Ding Tea, I must make a stop at Bhan Kanom Thai for dessert! They have a ton of stuff from ice cream, mango sticky rice, fried snacks, buns, crepes and seafood snacks, but I usually get the freshly made coconut snacks and taro cakes. I love that they are bite size, shareable, and not too sweet. The coconut snacks are creamy and soft while the taro and sticky rice desserts a have a thicker, chewy texture. The staff is always nice and happy to explain what each item is. The store is small, but packed with all kinds of interesting Thai snacks. $3 Valet to park in the plaza. Good luck finding street parking on Hollywood Blvd!

    The little store is bright and clean which features Thai desserts with snacks, sauces, chili oil. The Crispy Crepes either sweet or savory with foi thong sweet egg threads and something of a salted coconut. Staff is friendly and they aren't hovering over you as you shop. I had the steamed stuffed tapioca balls which is sweet and savory, you wrap it with lettuce and bite into the fresh chili it was spicy! I would definitely come back for the crepes.

    Had dinner in this plaza so decided to stop by and grab some dessert to complete the meal. There are so many goodies to choose from. I decided to grab a coconut pudding cup and steamed coconut pandan cakes which came out to $11.50. The staff was friendly as I didn't know what some of the items are so they are quick to explain and help me find what I'm looking for. Parking is tough in the plaza especially weekends and peak hours, but it's definitely worth it. The desserts are delicious and I will be coming back for more!

    It's been years since I have visited this place. I was in the area so I made it a point to stop by. It's probably been more than a decade. I am glad they are still around with the changing economy these days. It is not very easy to park here as they have valet parking. I was able to park on the street thankfully. I picked up a few things. The mango sticky rice--- much sweeter than I remembered. The Thai tea was also too sweet for my liking. I tried something new this time. The khao lam with is read bean rice in a bamboo. It was pretty good and I purchase it again in the future. The banana and taro grilled sticky rice are also my usual go-to. Overall, a good place to pick up authentic Thai desserts. Friendly and attentive service.

    Ever since I was little (like close to 20 years ago!!), Bhan Kanom Thai has been a staple pit stop whenever my family and I would go to Thai town for dinner. I can close my eyes and smell the delicious coconut and baked good scents!! I can't remember the last time I've been, but I stopped by a few weeks ago to pick up some desserts to surprise my dad for his birthday. The Khanom Krok, Thai "tacos", fried banana, fried taro, Pandan jello, Pandan pudding, khanom Tokyo (Pandan filled "crepe" rolls), Lup chuk, basically everything the have there is a 10/10. Nothing is overly sweet, everything is made fresh, they keep the desserts warmed/ refrigerated to preserve the freshness, the Pandan and coconut flavors are strong and natural. Nothing tastes artificial. The employees there are really friendly and kind. They were welcoming and had patience while I decided on the 15 things that I wanted haha. Parking was easy to find, there are plenty of spaces available in the plaza it's located in. I'd recommend going during the day to avoid having to valet and pay for parking!!

    Nicole S.

    This spot delivers on authentic Thai street snacks. The khanom bueang comes in both sweet and savory--get both. Don't overthink it. Trust me on this one. You'll thank me later. They also carry sakoo sai moo made with rice paper instead of tapioca pearls, which is exactly why I keep coming back. It's noticeably lighter, less chewy, and honestly just better. The selection is borderline dangerous--Thai desserts, snacks, and knickknacks everywhere. You'll walk in for one thing and leave with ten. Service is what you'd expect from a small market: not overly warm, but efficient and helpful enough. Parking is tight. Mostly valet, but there's a small pickup area in the back that gives you just enough time to run in and grab what you need/want.

    Everything I got from here to try was delicious. My favorite was the mango sticky rice.

    Is the mango sticky rice vegan?

    That sounds like a great choice. Unfortunately I don't know if it's vegan.

    Do they take credit cards in their store?

    Yes, they do. Don't remember if there's a minimum tho.

    Can you ship desserts out of state?

    Are the coconut pancake vegan? Or the crepes?

    The salty and sweet crispy crepes contain egg

Tacolate if it's still available!

The place is super small and no line, but the flavors were plentiful. I forget what they do, but you can get a combo of flavors in a single scoop.

Then, an eternity ago, it closed and we were sad. Then Long Beach Creamery opened and we weren't that sad for that long, but still, I absolutely still thought about them every once in a while, sad that they'd left. Then, a much closer eternity ago (about a year ago - I've been super burned-out and not finishing my reviews), I was on my way from an event back to the blue line and walked by and noticed that they had, in fact, just moved. So obviously we had to get some. Verdict - yes, it absolutely was as good as I remembered. I wouldn't go back to DTLA just for ice cream, Long Beach Creamery being walking distance and wonderful, but I would absolutely stop here if I were back in DTLA and wanted ice cream. It's a bit pricey, but all craft ice cream is going to be, and it is definitely craft. And you can save a lot by getting a 3-scoop, which is very much enough to share for two people, if not slightly too much.

I'm sure it would've been tart and delicious!! The staff were working hard and very patient. They sometimes had to call names three times to get a response for adding toppings. If you go there and it's crowded, please be patient and also please be ready to go up to claim your order right away for the sake of the waiting hungry crowd ;)!
