    Known for their famous mango sticky rice, Bhan Kanom also functions as a grocery shop for Thai snacks and candies as well as thai bakery! Parking in this lot is small and limited, I would recommend street parking nearby and walking over. Employees are nice and help you with any questions on items you may have! I came by on Thai New Year and while the line was huge, it went by fast and everyone remained v pleasant! Mango sticky rice 5/5, well priced, decently sized portion, soft and smooth! crepes 5/5, small petite and light!

    When a craving for authentic Thai desserts hit, this is the spot to check out! I tried out the Pangchi, which has coconut, rice and corn. This always sells out so grab them before they're all gone! I also had to get the Crispy Flower, which is lightly sweet and crisp. Love the fun design. I also got the Mango Sticky rice, which was fresh, perfectly sweet with ripe mangoes. Staff were friendly and were hard at work making fresh Crispy Crepes. I tried one since it was so tempting watching them make it in front of me! Definitely the best when it's fresh! So much Thai desserts to choose from! Definitely would come back.

    Like many others, I stopped by after having dinner in the area. There is a valet lot but I ended up finding street parking. The shop has a variety of Thai/Asian desserts and snacks. I came specifically for their mango sticky rice. At $11, I think it's a good portion and likely to be cheaper than getting it at a restaurant. The mangos are sweet and juicy, the sauce has just the right amount of salt, and the whole dessert is fresh and made in front of you. Possibly one of the best mango sticky rice I've had. I'm not too far and will be back to try out some of their other desserts, particularly the luk chup and the khanom bueang.

    This is your landmark to find the dessert shop

    This has always been a shop I visit every time I go to Thai town and I've been coming for many many years. The food selection is always changing based on the time you arrive. They have a small service counter for fresh made goods. The ambiance definitely gives you that snack/dessert heaven feeling. I forgot to take pictures cause it was quite packed for a 9pm. Definitely get a young coconut & pandan cake, the chicken/potato curry puffs, and a mango sticky rice if available. There are endless options so everyone will find something their taste buds will desire

    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!

    Man I was too excited I forgot to take a picture!! I got mango sticky rice and it was perfect sweetness and saltiness. $11 is somewhat on the cheaper side the mango was perfectly ripen and sweet. I will be back and try some other things.

    Stopped here because my daughter was craving Mango sticky rice, and this place is definitely a great place to pick some up, along with other Thai desserts. If you're craving something sweet and different, this is your spot. It's located inside the Thai town plaza, and parking is valet only.

    Whenever I'm in Hollywood I always go out of my way to stop here and get some Mango Sticky Rice which always hits the spot. No frills market with tons of other Thai snacks.

    2026.07.16 first time Of course I came for mango sticky rice. I've never had any of the other things. Tried crepe savory and sweet, like a very thin crispy fortune cookie with coconut crème and sweet or garlicky savory filling - both good Tried pangchi, reminds me of a macaroon (not macaron) and butter mochi together. Subtle flavors that friends were not initially impressed by but it really grew on me as I chewed. You need to come here with a crew so you can try more things!

    Ryna D.

    What a great shop! Come here for freshly made Thai desserts and other treats. I bought so much goodies on my first visit and can't wait to go back! Definitely try the crispy crepes called khanom bueang! Such a gem in Thai town!!

    Do not put me and a mango in the same room. I will absolutely devour it, just like I did with the mango sticky rice and green thai tea. The mango was so delicious, freshly cut, and paired so well with the coconut sauce and sticky rice. Service was quick, easy, simple. It felt like walking into your local asian grocery store with the best imported goods and fresh food. Come here for a late night sweet treat after dinner or to stock up on a delicious snack. There's valet parking in the lot.

    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!

    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.

    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

The regular menu is quite expensive with the cheapest at $17 for appetizer and salad options and most expensive at a whooping $80. The lunch menu was more affordable but still on the pricey side $21-$32 with add on options. The waitress was taking our orders and what surprised me was with my co-worker ordered the pad see ew and the waitress asked her how spicy she wants it. I was aw shocked. I'm not a Thai food expert but I do know pad see ew is a noodles dish that's offers a sweet soy sauce flavor. Never served spicy. I didn't get to try the dish but when I asked my co worker how it taste she said it was spicy and not sweet at all. I'm not sure that was an authentic pad see ew. I ordered from the lunch menu and got the tumeric chicken, with steamed vegetables and paid extra $7 to substitute for a papaya salad. I asked for #2 spice level but it was not spicy at all. Other co workers said they asked for medium but it was way too spicy. So it looks like their spicy levels are inconsistent. I'm not sure how this restaurant can justify the prices with the quality they are serving. Probably won't be back. Service was mediocre. Didn't offer to refill our waters. Parking is metered parking or paid lot.

My wife and I came for my birthday outing (she surprised me). Thai is always a "go to" and when we hit LA it's food time. The appetizer set the tone - crab wontons (ummmm - yeah I'm no food geography expert but I imagine they didn't originate in Thailand but who cares they rock!) My wife said probably the best she has ever had - crispy, creamy, actual crab sightings in the filling - loved it. Green curry - loaded with ingredients and aromatic and enticing. Eggplant, bamboo shoots lots of meat, veggies - and the curry underneath was loaded with flavor. Medium spice hit just right (I can handle Thai hot but I am taking it easy ok??) Drunken noodles - but an udon version? Let's try it - loved it! Again - plentiful meat, basil fragrance wafting to my nostrils, spicy sweet and savory blended sauce - fantastic. Verdict?

I felt like I came to eat and my mom's house. They take Debit Card and Apple Pay WITH a pin only. I forgot my wallet and paid with Apple Pay. It did not have a place for tip which made me feel awful. At the end I apologized and she was like "it's ok, next time." And she was genuinely fine with it. She reassured me not to worry about it. So I'm determined to come back to tip her because if anybody deserved a tip it was her. I ordered Pad Thai with tofu- I like to order peanut sauce on the side and the woman found it interesting and struck a non judgmental conversion about it. I could really tell she was genuinely curious. This was my favorite dish. It was good. I also ordered spicy fried rice with tofu and spicy panang curry with vegetables. I chose 4 out of a 6 for spicy and it was not spicy at all for me. The rice was fine, nothing extraordinary and nothing bad. The panang curry was yummy. I don't know if it's regional but it was very light in taste and light in thickness. BUT I enjoyed it for what it was. Felt like I had gotten home made chicken soup or something like that comforting and not overly processed. Maybe it's because I ordered it with no protein and just vegetables. I ordered a lot of food so I explained to her that I was going to eat some and take the rest to go. When she brought the food she brought it nicely packed without a bag. She also brought me a real plate and utensils to eat here. She let me know that when I was ready she'd bring a bag which I thought was thoughtful. She also made sure to say "take your time, no need to rush. We close at 8" and it was 5pm. Again, it felt genuinely nurturing, she wanted to make sure I felt taken care of and welcomed. It meant a lot because I was frazzled from forgetting my wallet and from having a hard day at work. This was my first time here and it won't be my last. There is a small lot on site.
