Boran Thai really delivers on great food that does justice. Highly recommended for their Kao So I and glass noodles salad, minus the onions if you don't want the spiciness of the fresh onions. read more

Came on a winter day so was looking for something warm and cozy. I was going to order a curry, but my friend -- who frequents here -- recommended the khao soy. I'm glad she did! I got it with chicken and it was flavorful and delicious! I loved the splash of lime, the creamy soul and the mild heat. The crispy fried dough strips are larger than I've seen elsewhere and I appreciated the added extra crunch. And the noodles cooked perfectly al dente! The place is small but easily accommodated our party of four. The hostess was so gracious. We initially had anticipated a party of five and so she cleaned a larger table specifically for us. Then our party shranked to just four, and she was fine with the switchback to our initial table. Parking is street but relatively easy to find on weekends. read more

I barely moved to Thai town this year so obviously I gotta go try all the Thai spots. This was the first spot I tried, and I was impressed, I moved from the valley which has ehhh Thai spots. I've tried a variety of dishes here and my favorite that I always go to is the ground beef pad kra pow, the pad see ew and the yellow curry. The flavor is amazing but some dishes aren't consistent, sometimes the pad see ew is super greasy, sometimes it's perfect. The mango sticky rice is good, but occasionally the rice is more dry even with the sauce they add. But with it being walking distance to me, I enjoy coming here, the staff are nice, they're quick at making the food and the inside is nice and clean! Definitely a must try! read more

Amazing Thai food big variety. You can make everything vegan and vegetarian really good customer service thank you, Ashley.

Ordered from here off of Door Dash for delivery. Got the Spicy Basil Fried Rice, and selected Crispy Pork and Extra Spicy. The crispy pork was great, the basil fried rice was pretty good, but the spice level... I specifically ordered from this place because it was in Thai Town, and it's not that it wasn't spicy enough, but it wasn't spicy AT ALL! Like I legitimately think they didn't cook it with any peppers. Hoping it was just a mix up or a fluke. read more

Great thai restaurant - flavors feel very authentic. Got the green curry, and everything was perfectly executed. Not too thick and not too thin. Balanced amount of spice, and ample amount of meat/veggies. Serving size was large. Service was great and restaurant is clean. Parking is a bit tough, but would definitely come back and try other items. read more

Small restaurant, but great food. I was very pleasantly surprised by how tasty the seafood soup was. I love spicy food and even though it initially didn't come out spicy, I was recommended to ask for more thai chilis. I did ask for more thai chilis and with the thai chilis it was very very spicy, exactly how I like it!!! read more

A delicious dinner and a lovely establishment! I loved my recent dining experience at Boran. On a Saturday evening around 7pm, there was no wait and plenty of free street parking available. We ordered: Papaya salad 5/5 - I LOVE papaya salad and they do it so well here! I ordered it mild and can tell that they only put in one chili which was very much appreciated because 1 chili already felt a little bit spicy for me. The papaya salad was SUPER flavorful, crispy, fresh, and hit the spot. Salmon Penang curry 4/5 - very interesting! The salmon penang curry is one of the signature dishes and comes with a bowl of rice. The penang curry is creamy, flavorful, and vibrant. It's a bit salty, but pairs very well with rice. They served it with a slab of salmon that felt a little overcooked in my humble opinion, as well as, lots of steamed broccoli. The veggies felt a bit random, but the curry itself was so good. Boat noodles 2/5 - if you've never had boat noodles (like me), it felt very similar to pho. They use rice noodles and it's served in a hearty brown stock with plenty of chicken and meatballs. This was my least favorite because the stock was super salty and the chicken was very overcooked/dry. The noodles were flavorful and tasty though! Service was wonderful! Very attentive, super friendly, and they just felt like kind human beings. If you're ever in the area, you should definitely give Boran's a try! read more

Boran Thai is one of my favorite local Thai food spots in the Hollywood studio district. The food is always freshly prepared, generously portioned, and reasonably priced. This time I decided to try something new and ordered the Seven Seas Soup which is a seafood soup with a clear citrusy lime both similar to Tom yum soup except it's not spicy. I believe it has 7 types of seafood such as chunks of crabmeat, tilapia, sole fish, shrimp, clams, mussel, and octopus. The Gai Kua noodles are ok, a little bland compared to pad Thai or pad see ew and some of my noodles and egg tasted burnt. I like that they package the soups carefully and use sustainable containers for delivery orders, however it would be helpful to include utensils and napkins as well. read more

I ordered delivery on Grubhub - the Pad See Ew, egg rolls, and Tai tea - and sadly this was some of the worst Thai I've ever had. The noodles were slimy and overcooked. The egg rolls were greasy and left the grease taste in your mouth and the Thai tea was some how not good either. Bland and just not tasty. I hate to give a restaurant a bad review because I am a small business owner myself, but given that it was so bad, I have to share my experience in hopes they will do better. read more

Ordered a pad Thai, won sun glass noodle salad, and boat noodles. The air conditioning was broken but they kept it pretty cool inside with a fan, I have long hair so it was a little annoying having the fan blowing my hair around, but greatful for the fan keeping us cool in the hot weather. The pad Thai was average and decent. The glass noodle salad was really good but served on a small plate with a small portion. The best thing there was the Thai boat noodles. Although the bowl was only filled halfway, we were still satisfied. The boat noodles were really flavorful and good we finished it to the last drop. Would come back here for the boat noodles: read more

COVID special $5 each (cash only, tax added after): Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Noodle Soup (Boat, or Boran style). Call to order. They do take credit card, but the price would reflect full price menu no matter how much you order. Thanks to Nick C. Yelper for the $5 tip via seeing it in the review! Food is clean, better quality than many other Thai restaurant. It would be rated as one of my top 3 cleaner, better quality Thai foods in the area. $15.42 for 3 items. Everything is decent. Boran noodle soup: Good. Boat noodle soup: Good. Pad Thai: Cleaner, less greasy than other restaurants. The taste is good. It is not as saturated as the heavy sweet and sour taste that many tourist crave for. There isn't as much garnishes in it as other places. I really really never crave Pad Thai, and probably eat it maybe once a year or less due of friends craving it. My experience with Thai Food....just as a local resident in the area. I've eaten southern style Thai food in Thailand, but I am not expert. There is alot alot of bad quality but super intense tasting places that are not for me. This place is for me. read more

Best food. Best service. Best Thai food ever. You have to try this place! It is sooooo good.

Came by last week for their $5 pandemic menu with other restaurants in the Thai Town Council, and I was more than pleased! Note, the menu is cash-only & take-out only, and I'm not 100% sure if it was extended beyond their original end date of Sunday 4/19. Anyhow we had their tofu pad see ew, veggie pad see ew, and tofu pad thai, and all were delicious. Plus, the portions are huge! Wait time was about 20-30 minutes fyi, and everyone was wearing gloves and masks when I came to pickup the food. Thank you Boran Thai for a great meal at home, and looking forward to be back again! read more

A sis of mine discovered this dope hole in the wall spot, when looking for some Thai food and honestly this place did NOT disappoint. The inside was so nice and cozy looking and I love how they decorated the place! Now to the food, I had gotten the crab meat fried rice and yoooo it was SO GOOD. The flavor was immaculate, it was a great portion and it didn't leave me grossly full. Plus the service was very hospitable, from the moment we walked. I for sure want to come back because it was that good. read more

I came by for lunch today since I've been craving some Thai food. This seems to be a Thai-Chinese restaurant since there were some Chinese dishes like shumai and Chinese broccoli on the menu. I ordered pad thai Boran (no bean sprouts) and shrimp in a blanket. The pad thai Boran comes with shrimp and crispy pork so there's no need to add meat to the dish. My 2 dishes came out around the same time. The shrimp in a blanket was crispy and there were 5 pieces, which made it worth the price. The sauce was the real star of the shrimp in a blanket. The pad thai Boran portion was a bit smaller than I was hoping for but it was still pretty decent. I do wish that the pad thai had a bit more flavor to it since it seemed to be lacking the usual tanginess of pad thai. read more

I was picking up food for me and my friend who recommended this place. Calling to order was easy to do and when I arrived I realized I did not have my debit card. I was frantic and asked if they had any other options to pay. Luckily they do take Apple Pay which saved me from having to drive around to get cash. It's Hollywood so parking is not as easy to find but there is street parking available. The restaurant is small but have tables where you can dine in. When I went in there were quite a few people eating there. Customer service was top notch too. We ordered their Shumai, Boat Noodles and Boran Noodles. Let me just say all of it was so delicious, flavorful and just so comforting. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to try other dishes from them! read more

Service is really nice! Soup is what I have been ordering at Thai spots lately and this one was simple, good, and very filling. Garlicky filled with flavor green veggies and shrimp wonton. Very good in flavor. First time here. The prices are fair. Located in Thai Town LA surrounded by tons of retail and eats but this spot took us in. Will def come here again if we are hungry and in the area. A bowl of soup did not disappoint. read more
