If you're going to Universal Studios and you're craving Thai, skip all the food there. This place is literally right across the street, you could walk if you really wanted to. We took a break and drove over, followed the signs for the parking since it's in the back. You have to go down an alley. This place is very small but really really good. My kids had pad Thai, I had garlic fish, my husband had drunken noodles and my sil had green curry that was sooooook good she ate it all (there was a lot of curry and usually she doesn't finish). Great Thai iced tea. My kids really loved it, that's usually a good sign. They have had their fair share of pad thai and have become pad thai snobs. The bathroom is very kitsch and is covered in stickers. For the overstimulated it might be much, my spectrum kiddo needed to go but he just couldn't look at all the stickers. Just be aware. It was clean just visually stimulating. I would definitely come back here anytime I go to Universal. I always like supporting local and truly it's a gem. Service was great, the server let my daughter grab some stickers. Clearly it's an artsy fun vibe. read more

We had a late-night Thai food emergency and this place understood the assignment. Ordered the Green Curry and let me tell you--it was dangerously good. The kind of dish where you keep saying "one more bite" and suddenly you're scraping the container wondering where it all went. Major bonus points for the generous chunks of eggplant. As an eggplant enthusiast, I felt seen. Was I secretly hoping for Thai eggplant? Yes. Did that stop me from inhaling the entire curry like it owed me money? Absolutely not. Pickup was fast, and I think I met the owner when he handed me my order. Super nice guy! The food was amazing, the service was warm, and now I've accidentally created a new problem for myself because I'm already planning my next order. 10/10. Send curry. I'll be back. read more

Best Thai food in NOHO / Studio city! There's parking in the back, Cute indoor and outdoor patio seating. Great extensive menu, don't forget the smash burgers! We got spring rolls , fried rice, fried chicken, and egg rolls. All of it was incredible! The ambiance is super cute and small inside, very intimate, the staff is next level. Everyone here, from server to in the kitchen, is so incredibly nice. My new favorite spot, perfect for lunch date or dinner date, instagrammable, date night, or to just dip your toes into trying Thai food! If you don't like Thai, there's other options for you to still try here, Food is SO FRESH! always cooked fresh. Love this spot! read more

Let me start with how confusing it was to find it! There's a bunch of different buildings and this little green tiny house that was once "Nongs Thai Kitchen" originally. You might also have a hard time finding parking but, it's additional spots available behind the building. The colors and the outside design was pretty attractive. I really wanted to sit outside unfortunately I was told that it wasn't available due to a "Poop" problem. ( Wish I didn't hear that before my meal) We should've walked away but, decided to stay and give them a chance. Our food was mediocre. Nothing special about it. It wasn't the worst but, it wasn't at one's best either. My fork and silverware had food residue on them so I had given them back and asked for plastic instead. Overall, I loved the art. From the pictures on the wall to the coloring of the plates. It was vibrant and pretty attractive but, the food can use some improvement. read more

Delicious Thai food! We ordered the Chicken Panang Curry, which the nice hostess behind the counter recommended, and Crispy Pork Pad See Ew. The restaurant is small but you can't miss it. It's a bright blue with large neon lighting for the name. What you might miss is the parking though. If you're going down Ventura Blvd towards Hollywood, you will make a right on the street just before you hit the restaurant and there are only about 4 spaces in the back. Fair prices too. I would go back. :) read more

Service was great. We came twice after visiting Universal Studios. Appreciate that the waitress remembered my mom wanted hot water! Definitely recommend eating here. They have limited parking in the back of the restaurant. Really delicious and will order again: - Pad thai: the color makes it look like it's not flavorful but it's actually pretty flavorful. The noodles are cooked well, still have a chew to it - Basil fried rice: yummy and flavorful. The rice itself was so good. - Mango sticky rice: scrumptious. I asked for more coconut sauce because it was so good. Good but not the best I had - Pad see ew - Pineapple fried rice - Steak garlic noodles read more

This Thai restaurant is so cute and quant. Five tables inside and a row of tables outside. Host / waitress was really nice. Ordered nongs house wings and steamed dumplings for appetizers. The chicken was so crispy and seasoned perfectly. The dumplings were perfect and even better with sauce. We ordered beef pad see ew, chicken pad Thai for main course. Both were so delicious! Now I couldn't leave without mango sticky rice for dessert. So glad I did because it was so yummy. Perfect ending to a great meal. I will be back!! read more

I drive by this spot almost every day on my way to work and I recently noticed it had changed from a veggie restaurant to a Thai place. Since Thai food is one of my absolute favorites, I was immediately intrigued and knew I had to try it soon. I finally got the chance to try it today while visiting my father, whose office is just a few blocks away. He had actually received a flyer about their opening and suggested we grab lunch before I headed to school. Perfect timing! The moment we walked in we were greeted with a smile by the owner, who immediately offered us Thai Iced Tea and who can ever say no to that. It was such a welcoming touch and set the tone for the entire meal. The restaurant itself is small but charming. Inside there are about 4-5 tables and outside seating for about the same. The decor is colorful, bright, and cheerful; it makes the space feel lively without being overwhelming. We decided on the lunch specials, which are offered Monday through Friday from 11am to 3pm. Each comes with fried rice (unless noted), an egg roll, and a salad. It is a great deal, especially for the quality. I went with the Pad See Ew and my father ordered the Pad Thai. Both dishes were excellent and full of flavor. The Pad See Ew had that perfect balance of savory sweetness, while the Pad Thai was light, tangy, and generously portioned. You could really taste the freshness of the ingredients. Everything felt homemade and thoughtfully prepared. What stood out the most to me was the value. Compared to other Thai spots nearby, this place offers better quality and portions for the price. It's rare to find a local gem where you leave full. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back! Parking Tip- They do have a little lot in the back but I would suggest parking in the nearby residential if you can. read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING food and wonderful service. We ordered a variety of dishes and they were all delicious. Kid friendly too!

Wowwwwwww came here late night and had the best Thai food in LA. I looooove Thai food and have been to so many restaurants around town but this place was amazing. The chicken drunken noodles is 10/10 and the Thai tea was so refreshing. We also go to try the fried Oreos with coconut cream sauce and it was sooooo good. Will definitely be back and I'll be bringing friends and family here to try it out as well. Amazing service and the restaurant is so nice inside and out. read more

I had been wanting to try Nong's Thai Kitchen for a while since I love good Thai food, and I finally convinced my friend to come with me even though they were already skeptical because of the limited parking and the random location. Unfortunately, the experience turned out to be a major disappointment. I ordered the Thai Basil dish and clearly requested no basil, as it sometimes makes me sick. I made a point to emphasize this, and the waitress even repeated the order back to me correctly. Despite that, the dish came out completely covered in basil. Already very hungry, I was frustrated when the waitress casually said she knew I asked for no basil but that it was made that way anyway and then just walked away. No apology, no effort to fix it, nothing. It felt dismissive and unprofessional. Honestly, it seemed like she was more focused on checking herself in the mirror and putting on lip gloss than paying attention to customers. I ended up bringing the food back myself and asking for something else. Meanwhile, my friend who didn't even want to eat there initially ended up paying, partly because they felt bad about the situation and had already finished eating while I was still dealing with the issue. I genuinely love supporting small businesses and want them to succeed, but this was not just a letdown it was an overall unpleasant experience made worse by rude service. The waitress never came back to check on us, and there was zero effort to make things right. I won't be returning. There are plenty of great Thai restaurants in the area that at least meet basic service standards, so I'd recommend trying one of those instead. read more

Me and my buddy decided to try this place out late at night and I can say it didn't disappoint. The Seafood Soup (tom yum) was very good and enjoyable to other nice Thai places I've been to and the service was amazing. Kyle was funny, chill and brought an inviting presence. Can't wait to come back for another nice late meal and punk on my friend again with the homie Kyle. Thank you for the dessert sir, and I hope that your service is recognized by the staff there. read more

Very cute little restaurant, great service. I only got a couple of things today, bowl of tom Kha soup with white rice and a side salad. It came out to $27. The salad was fresh and the peanut dressing was tasty, the soup was delicious, however the mushrooms in the soup were disappointing because it was basically the whole button mushroom(whole mouthful sized). Other than that, it was a good meal and I would return but to try different things on the menu. read more

Everything was delicious. I came with my sisters and we had the appetizer plate, beef laarb, chicken pad se ew, beef drunken noodles, Thai tea, and mango sticky rice.

Nongs is my new favorite go to spot for delicious food!

Everything was amazing and beautifully presented! Service was fast and friendly and the ambiance is comfortable and happy :) For dessert they brought out a fried Oreo with a small ramekin of vanilla ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce. Wow, wow WOW!! What an extra special surprise! Cannot wait to go back and try more! read more

Ordered here for the first time and this is about as real as it gets - authentic taste, fair portions, fair price, family-owned, and great service. Nong's will be my new go-to Thai spot in the area. We ordered the Pad Se Ew, Steak Garlic Noodles, Panang Curry, and Pineapple Fried Rice. Everything was delicious and is on par with what I'd expect from other places in Thai Town. Parking is a little tricky as it's off the main road in the back. Ample seating inside. read more

Wonderful little neighborhood joint! Kyle and his staff are so friendly and welcoming, the vibe is great and most importantly, the food is excellent! Tom Kha was perfectly cozy and coconuty.

This is my new favorite Thai spot. I ordered the pad thai, pineapple fried rice, and spicy basil. All tasty and fresh. I got the pad thai "very spicy" and it delivered! Full of flavor and heat? Absolutely loved every bite of it. This was previously The Veggie House, a vegan restaurant. According to one of the staff members, the stir-frys and curries still maintain the same vegan recipes. So if you loved the previous food, you'll still love it now. Highly recommended! P.s. parking is in the back. The alley entrance can be a bit tricky to find. It's at the three way intersection next to Tokyo Cube/the gas station. read more

The food is mediocre here. We ordered the pas see ew and it came with American broccoli. We also got the pad krapow gai and it was just OK. The service was decent and the restaurant was overall quaint. Honestly, the cutest part about the restaurant was the torquoise alleyway, decorated with lanterns. Parking is in the back of the restaurant. read more

We finally stopped into Nong's Thai Kitchen after noticing the new spot nearby, and honestly, everything was phenomenal. We ordered the cream cheese wontons, garlic edamame, pineapple fried rice, yellow curry, and garlic steak noodles -- and every dish absolutely delivered. The flavors were vibrant and balanced, the portions generous, and the presentation beautiful. The pineapple fried rice and yellow curry were especially standouts -- rich, aromatic, and full of depth. The space itself feels warm and inviting, and the staff couldn't be friendlier. You can tell every dish is made with real care and pride -- the kind of food that makes you instantly want to come back. We're so happy to have Nong's in the neighborhood. Between the cozy vibe, the incredible food, and the genuinely kind service, this place deserves all the stars. Don't walk -- run to try it! read more

I went here today, and when I tell you the food was amazing, it was Amazing! Best Thai Food I've ever had! I had the Garlic Steak Noodles and my wife had the Orange Chicken.

Wow, what a find. Work brought me here and the food will keep me coming and the service was second to none. Friendly, courteous with a genuine concern about your dining experience.

By the taste of what I'm having now, I think they'll be moving to the top of my list. It's a small, quaint and comforting to eat at. Some outdoor dining as well.

**Rating: 20/10** Nong's Thai Kitchen is an absolute knockout! The **phenomenal fluffiness** of the egg rolls is a total game-changer, and the crispy pork in the rice is incredibly flavorful with a perfect crunch. From the divine pad thai to the aromatic Panang curry, every sauce is phenomenal and hits all the senses. To top it all off, the deep-fried Oreo is "county fair first prize ribbon" material. It tastes even better than it should and is the perfect way to wrap up the meal. An unbelievable experience from start to finish! read more

My family and I just had some of the most delicious and authentic Thai food in the valley. Came here after noticing they just opened up a month ago, and needing a Thai spot to frequent, we thought we would give it a go. Folks, it was spectacular!

Oh, by the way, loved the vibey music playing in the background. read more

New to the neighborhood, I wandered into Nong's and was immediately greeted with the warmest, friendliest hospitality. The owner confidently told me this was the best Thai food in LA. Having lived in Thai Town for 10 years, I'll admit I was skeptical--I've eaten at over two dozen spots along Hollywood Blvd and know how high that bar is. But after my meal here, I can honestly say Nong's is right up there with the very best. Every dish was bursting with flavor, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere feels welcoming and genuine, and the service makes you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. I'm usually reluctant to hand out the crown for "best Thai in LA," but Nong's is absolutely in the running. Top tier by any measure. I can't wait to go back again (and again). read more
