After my third time dinning here, how could this tasty Thai spot not get 5 stars! La Ong has standout dishes, deep curry notes, and excellent executed Thai menu items. Service is wonderful and prices are very reasonable for this BH establishment. Must try's on the menu are the Khai soi with beef and noodles, the geeen curry branzino, beef and jasmine rice, pad Thai and pad see ew , wings , and mango sticky rice. I'm willing to bet all their items are a hit. 5/5 stars , check them out.

First time trying Thai food in Beverly Hills. Loved it. Great vibes and delicious food. Love the cocktails. Fantastic service. The fried pork was amazing.

Pad Thai with Fried Tofu

Amazing and delicious Pad Thai with Fried Tofu!! Great vibes as well! I definitely recommend this spot for excellent high end Thai food!

Pad Thai Plate

We grabbed a weekend dinner reservation during our trip here. We were greeted and brought to our seat right away. The waiter for our table was friendly and helpful with his tips for drinks much appreciated. After we put in our order, it was quite a wait for the food to come out though when they did, they all came out relatively close together. We ordered the pad thai, pad see ew, and curry dishes. The curry was my favorite and everything was overall was flavorful - if anything a touch salty/sweet depending on the dish. My favorite of the three was the curry. Cute restaurant in Beverly Hills. The table we were seated at had a slightly uncomfortable couch but all in all, recommended if you like thai food.

I love the quality of food but portion is small. I like the chicken wing the most - it's a double battered fried chicken with fish sauce. So crispy and delicious The tom yum fried rice was super special too. It was using purple fried rice and it adds a special creamy texture to the rice Sea bass green curry was so delicious too. Sea bass was cooked perfectly and curry was super flavorful Papaya salad and pad see ew were pretty standard. We got it because portion was small and we weren't full. Dessert was good as always.

We dined as a group of 5 and ordered many signature dishes on the menu to explore the diversity. Overall, the entrees such as crab fried rice are solid with rich flavors. But there are a few items, on that particular day, were just below the acceptable level. For examples, chicharron has a distinctive off-flavor associated with pork when the skins are not cleaned properly. We couldn't even finish after one bite. The sea bass in tom yum soup was clearly not fresh, emitting a noticeable off-flavor. Chicken wings are flavorful but the skins are fried too hard to bite easily. The server was kind enough to take the chicharron off the menu but it also feels like she didn't care to explain at all.

Pad See Ew Plate with Shrimp
Andrew L.

Was in the area and wanted a quick takeout dinner so made a pickup order through Seamless from La Ong. Got the Pad See Ew noodles dish with Shrimp. It was slightly on the salty side but very flavorful. Easy pickup, food was ready when promised and friendly staff.

Tom Yum Rice Plate
Nikki B.

This place opened a few years ago next to my office and my coworkers & I frequently order take out from here. Its moniker is derived after the chef's grandma and the dishes are based on her recipes. Everything is prepared with ingredients that are imported from Thailand or locally sourced. In the past I've had the Mee Krob, Brussels Sprouts, & Papaya Salad, which were all tasty. A recent order we shared consisted of Tom Yum Rice and Stir Fried Broccoli. With an infusion of Thai basil, Kaffir leaves, chili, & lime, the Tom Yum Rice was an interesting dish. It also contained scallops, shrimp, & crab, which I enjoyed. The stir-fried broccoli was also good. La Ong will continue to be a staple on our lunch order list.

Mango Coconut Sticky Rice
Tena D.

i enjoyed the food here, but there were a couple hiccups during my meal... first, the food was delicious. the fresh green rolls were delicious, and i especially enjoyed the peanut sauce which had a nice kick to it. i ordered the garlic noodles with tofu, and the noodles were cooked well with a nice bite, the garlic flavor wasn't overwhelming, overall a balanced dish. and we finished with the mango sticky rice with coconut milk, which was pretty standard. however, the staff asked twice about allergies and i mentioned i am vegetarian. despite this, i was served garlic noodles with chicken :/ they replaced the dish without any issue, but i would be worried if someone really did have an allergy that this could be overlooked.

Beef with Ginger Rice Plate
EJ J.

This is our go to spot for Thai food in Beverly Hills! Every time we arrive the host and hostess are always friendly and quick to seat us wherever we like. There's both seating in the restaurant or on the patio. You will be close to other people if you do sit on the patio, so if you are planning to have a private conversation it won't be TOO private. The place is very clean and has a nice little set up to it. There's even a little bar seating area you can sit at and order a thai ice tea while waiting for your order. They are pretty quick to take your order and the food comes out in a decent amount of time. I usually order the Sea Bass Southern Thai Curry Plate if I'm not that hungry or the Beef with Ginger Rice Plate with an iced black lychee tea or Thai ice tea depending on my mood. I can't even explain how good everything here is. You honestly can't go wrong with whatever you order and you will be satisfied. Trust ya boy! Anyway, it can get a little packed around lunch time but you shouldn't have any issues getting a seat. If you're in the area and in the mood for Thai, hit this place up. Oh, they separate checks too! I feel like that's something I should start mentioning in my reviews that would be helpful. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

khao soi
Lucy L.

The spring rolls and fried chicken here is phenomenal!!!! I cannot recommend it enough and for my entree I got the khao soi which was also very delicious. My one complaint is that parking can get difficult in the area, though there are lots nearby.

Organic Fresh Green Rolls
Chris W.

I would say this restaurant is a fancy version of Thai food because the plating is very beautiful I love the organic green spring rolls and the sauce is very delicious It is a very good choice to have it in summer The service is good there and servers are nice and hospitable Parking is easy on the street or parking structures cross streets

Morning glory
Polly C.

Came here with reservations and was seated with little to no wait. The customer service here was great, the workers were nice and attentive. The food on the other hand was honestly nothing special. The papaya salad was lacking in zest and spice, it just tasted like peanuts and it was bland. The holy basil noodles was nothing we expected, the noodles were fried to the point where we thought they were chips. If you're looking for a noodle dish this is not it. The tom kha was good but the portion was tiny for its cost. I've definitely had better Thai food at a cheaper place, however I came because I wanted to treat my friend to a more upscale thai restaurant. The major flaw of this place was the insufferable scent of grease inside. I'm not sure if the vents weren't working or what was up, but the fumes of oil and grease were so strong. Me and my friend left with our hair and clothes smelling so greasy and fried. We got back to our friend's apartment and my other friend could instantly smell the greasiness when we walked by, it was suffocating.

First visit to Emporium Thai and I already know this won't be my last…read more I walked in solo with a tight window between shows, which meant I had to be strategic. No leftovers, no over-ordering... a true test of discipline at a place like this. Started with a Thai iced tea that hit exactly right. Balanced, not overly sweet, and generously poured. Service throughout the meal was excellent. Attentive without hovering, and the pacing was spot on. I never felt rushed, which is rare when you're clearly on a clock. For my appetizer, I went with the Phuket wings. As someone who takes wings seriously, I can say these stood out. Crispy, flavorful, and coated in a Southern Thai curry sauce I hadn't experienced before. Rich, slightly sweet, with a depth that kept me going back for "just one more." For the main, I took the server's recommendation and ordered the Thai beef salad to balance things out. Smart call. The dressing leaned creamier than what I usually expect, but it worked. Bright, flavorful, and layered. I'll be honest, I couldn't quite finish it, but the beef didn't stand a chance. Every last bite. Dessert sealed the deal. The mango sticky rice, now famously known as the Cardi B Mango Sticky Rice, lived up to the hype. Perfectly ripe mango, warm sticky rice, and that coconut sauce tying it all together. Simple, classic, and done right. The space itself tells a story. Walls lined with photos of the owner alongside celebrities from all over. But what stood out more than the photos was the man himself. He made his way around the room, greeting guests, checking in, bringing real warmth to the experience. No hierarchy, no pretense. Everyone gets treated like they belong. Twenty-six years in and I'm just now discovering this place? Better late than never. Next time, I'm bringing a group and ordering everything family style. That's the move.

Long story short, pricey for very little portions and Thai food that doesn't impress :/…read more Seeing all the celebrity pics, my friends thought we'd give it a try but were underwhelmed by the portion of the food we got for the prices they charge. Everything tasted fine, but not as flavorful or 'seasoned' as how other Thai restaurants are. We recommend their traditional Pad Thai, as well as trying their Spicy Eggplant. I don't recommend the Massaman Curry as it didn't have much curry flavor and the coconut milk they put in basically overpowered the entire dish. Service was good, and ambiance was a modern minimal take. Street parking. If I were to recommend Thai food, I'd probably recommend driving more west towards the San Gabriel Valley area.

I've lived in LA for 5 years. I love Thai food. Mee Dee is one of my two favorite spots. I…read moreregularly drive 20ish minutes to hit this place. Personally, I'm obsessed with the Lamb Shank Massaman Curry and Pad Thai. The curry might be the best in the city. It was kind of funny -- I was already thinking that, and the father of the family next to my brother and me said the same thing to his wife. And the Pad Thai? Super thin, almost angel hair pasta-like noodles. SUPER. GOOD. I've never had anything from here I didn't think was exceptional. And this is definitely the only Thai spot I feel that way about. Only minor knock: I picked up my Pad Thai today through GrubHub and the interaction was a little odd. The owner, I assume, wasn't friendly, and my order wouldn't pull up on GrubHub, which is on me. He's probably used to delivery service drivers, but still, ask human beings "How are you doing?" before interrogating them. TLDR: the food is amazing. GO!!!

Let me tell you every dish was a delight and excellent. We had a great night. Thank you Mee Dee. We'll be back!

Service is excellent here and I recommend dining in for optimal dining experience. However, all my leftovers were still fire, as well. I would recommend getting all of these dishes: *~Green Curry Dumpling ($12) - This may be a sleeper hit but the green curry surrounding the steamed veggie dumplings is a nice level of spicy and just makes my mouth watering thinking about this appetizer. *~Crispy Duck Rolls ($14) - They're fresh & feel so refreshing to eat with a few pieces of roasted duck inside and their fresh Thai slaw with some hoisin sauce, all wrapped in rice paper and lettuce, of course. I'm obsessed with this appetizer, as well! *~Pad Thai Meltdown ($22) - This is the most fun spin on pad thai of all time! I'm a basic girl and goodness do I love pad thai. Well their recipe is absolutely delicious ~ but this dish has melted cheese on top, as well! It's not as weird as it sounds, it's actually amazing just making the dish taste more creamy, not really cheesy tasting. My only disappoint was they are supposed to grate & melt the cheese tableside and that didn't happen. I went on a busy lunch though so I'm assuming that's why we didn't get the tableside show! Maybe next time! *~Chef Katt's Special Fried Rice ($18) - If you're going to get a fried rice, this classic Thai one may be the one to get with sweet Thai sausage slices and bacon pieces throughout. Loved this fried rice! Honestly, this was the best Thai food I've had in ages! They are adding little spins on dishes to make them fresh and new, and most importantly - delicious! I'll be back soon!

The amount of papaya salad was also very sparse. Probably would just go for regular papaya salad next time. Service is also great - they are very attentive. The location is next to a motel but there is plenty of street parking.
