    Panang curry, green curry
    Brooke T.

    Loved this place. Server was very attentive and funny as she kept warning us and checking in on us about the spice levels of our food. To be fair, the papaya salad is indeed pretty spicy and she made sure to warn us to avoid the peppers or our mouths would die. Luckily the thai tea is delicious and helped calm the fire in our mouths. The curries were super delicious and they don't skimp on the meat at all.

    Such a cute restaurant! I'm very picky when it comes to thai food because I'm Thai. Everything was pretty authentic here. The only underwhelming dish was the papaya salad which was kinda bland. Pork jowl was super delicious and the dipping sauce was amazing. The tom kha soup was hugeeeee and super balanced and delicious. The server was super attentive in the beginning and then went to chat with some customers lol Would definitely come back to try other dishes!

    Really cute spot with delicious Thai food! The sour sausages are so good. Shrimp Tom Yum was pretty good too though I wish there was more shrimp... or at least a bigger portion for more protein. Crispy Pork Pad Thai is very good too! Fantastic service! The staff is so friendly and so so helpful.

    Lovely very authentic and affordable Thai place that has all. Fresh ingredients that pack a punch. Reminds me of the food I ate when I went to Thailand, so it's very authentic and not American-ized. Also love the decor of the place.

    This place is one of the best Thai places we've had in LA. Apart from some spots in Thai Town, this place is one of the best. The papaya salad is packed with flavor and spicy, every single one of their meats are tender, and well flavored. The khao soi has incredible flavor, but it does become redundant after a while. Overall, this was an incredible meal.

    Very authentic and beautiful place. Love the whole vibe upon entrance with all the Thailand objects decorating the walls and floor. Got the rice with green beans and chili. I love the spice level and portion for the price. I felt like I was in Thailand! Very friendly service and attentive to water refill needs.

    Every dish landed, and the entire meal felt thoughtfully executed from the first bite to the last. Started with their house chili oil, bold, aromatic, and layered with real depth. Not just "spicy," but flavorful, the kind of chili oil you want to drizzle on literally everything. The stir-fried greens with chicken were a standout. The veggies had that perfect crisp snap, and the chicken was tender with just the right amount of char. The sauce was light but savory, coating everything without overpowering the freshness. Then the pad see ew... wow. Smoky wok hei, soft wide noodles, generous pieces of chicken, and veggies that still had life in them. Comfort food elevated, exactly what you want from a good Thai noodle dish. Even the water service was a moment , chilled carafe with slices of fruit, refreshing and aesthetic. It's the little touches that make a place memorable. Although slow at times, Service was warm, and the entire dining room had a relaxed, intimate vibe. Would absolutely return and recommend

    Cool interior in a hot day

    Ordered off the lunch set menu. Panang curry and potstickers . Comes with rice. It was pretty slow at 1pm on a Wednesday. It is a hot day, and mid week do not shocked. To go orders came and went. Staff is nice. Found the pot stickers underwhelming and a bit greasy. Wonder if there is a steamed option? 3 pieces. One was not filled. Just an empty shell. Assume it came out in the fryer . Zero customers other than me. Not much attention to detail, the sauce was tasty . The panang curry was chicken , curry soup and a couple of lime leaves. Mild, which is fine. Very fishy. No peanut flavor I could find. Wished for some vegetables. Carrots or peppers, or something? Overall , a cheap meal, filling. Wont be craving it. Perfectly fine place.

    Their housemade sauce
    Davy K.

    Such a cute charming Thai spot. It's my go-to Thai spot outside of Thai town. I recommend the chicken wings, the tom yum soup, the papaya salad, pad thai, and my favorite pad see ew. Their housemade chili sauce is also divine! Friendly staff and service.

    There aren't very many great dining options near the Grove but Chao Krung stands out as a diamond in the rough. The food here is authentic and delicious. I have tried so many things here but my favorite items here are the papaya salad, pad see ew, crispy tofu, and oxtail massaman curry but you really can't go wrong here. They do a great job with wok-fired noodle dishes, comforting curries, and offer a selection of more northern Thai dishes like grilled chicken. Minus 1 star because service can be slow at times and the food was oddly salty our most recent visit. I always recommend making a reservation here, as it can get busy. Parking is limited to street parking or parking at the Grove.

    This was hands down one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional, our two servers were so kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The ambiance felt warm and cozy, like stepping into someone's beautiful home. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully set up. Now the food... absolutely top tier. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the prices were more than fair for the quality. I loved it so much, I was just there last night, and I'm already planning to come back tonight with friends. I will be recommending this place to everyone I know. Truly an unforgettable experience.

    Wow was this place good. I have had a pretty poor record when it comes to picking Thai options. So much so the family usually will pivot to some thing else If I recommend one Chao Krung meet all of our expectations. Even what could have been a serious service issue was handled with such professionalism and ease that I had to stick with 5 stars. I will explain. We were eating a bit after lunch so street parking was available right in front. Service was attentive and polite. They have a decent selection of draft beer and it was served properly in a chilled glass. The Food: Pot Stickers: part of the lunch these 3 fried pot stickers were perfection. The crunchy chewy wrapper gave saw to a savory filling and the sauce added a nice sweet salty hit to it. Green Papaya Salad: Perfectly executed. Not only was is it visually appealing, the taste was among the best I have had. Crunchy, a touch of sweet and sour with the sauce adding so much unami. The tomatoes were perfect and added a acidic element to things Green Beans: Excellent. blistered and served with a tasty sauce. crunchy but cooked and covered with toasted onion, I could have eaten just this. Chicken Satay: 4 skewers of grilled, flavorful chicken with a thick peanut sauce for dipping. The pickled cucumbers and onions were a perfect side and added a sweet, salty, savory, crunchy element to the dish. Pad Thai: This was for the table. and having ordered way too much and wanting to max out on eating the green beans I did not taste this. However, the table was about 1/3 through when we found a hair. The hostess immediately came over, apologized and set about making it right. The dish was taken off and a replacement was fired for us to take to go since we were almost done. Stuff happens that is often out of the control of a restaurant. However, they do control how they respond. In this case the service recovery was excellent and I was happy to stick to 5 stars with ease

    Came here to celebrate Valentine's Day and was very disappointed with the quality of the food and service. We waited 2 hours and 20 minutes for food that came out cold and burnt which is odd cause you would assume burnt food would be piping hot. Our first bite we could taste nothing but carbon. Our reservation was at 5, we arrived at 5:15pm and weren't served until 7:20pm. We got skewers and our main entree, everything was cold my boyfriend even got a fried egg on the side, we each took a bite and it was cold! When we told the waiter about it she blatantly lied and told us they had just made it... and came back admitted guilt and saying the chef would "warm up" our food. Anybody that was ever worked in the food industry knows that means they'll either pop it in the microwave or throw it in a frying pan for a few minutes. I'm not paying you to warm up my food, I'm paying for a freshly, HOT, made meal. Should've offered a fresh plate of everything but all they did was offer to "warm it up" after waiting 2 hours for COLD food. Owner never came out to apologize or offer anything to make it up. Maybe it was because we are Latino's, the only ones in the establishment by the way, but we left disappointed and hungrier than when we arrived.

That said, the wine list is so strong you could throw a dart and land well every time. The food complements the experience beautifully. Order a pizza and a charcuterie board and let them do their work alongside the wine. After leaving, I sat in my car for a few minutes just to savor the lingering sense of peace and equilibrium--exactly what I needed to carry me into the following day.

Funnily enough, The Infatuation, of all resources, ranked this spot as the top gay bar among the twenty currently in business in WeHo. It's conveniently located a couple of blocks from Hamburger Mary's where we had reservations for the drag show. I know what you're thinking. So predictable. Anyway, we had time for a round before the show. The big black door did not give us an indication of what was inside, but the 1970's art deco font of the bar name did. Inside it felt more like a Studio 54-era lounge with a big rectangular bar in the middle. However, the owners managed to avert tackiness and provide comfy plushness. The period artwork, gray banquettes, and massive amoeba-shaped chandeliers add to the sophisticated ambiance. This was definitely not the typical WeHo club west of La Cienega. There's no dance floor, so you won't hear clunky platform shoes on a rainbow florescent floor. However, you'll likely hear classic Donna Summer or Earth, Wind & Fire wafting through the space. With their black, open-collar shirts and untied sequin bow ties, the bartenders were cute and attentive.
