    Pad See Ew
    Mary A.

    Came right at opening, and the space was very open with plenty of seating. The menu had a lot of options, which was nice. We ordered the fried tofu, pad see ew, and roasted duck curry with yellow curry instead of red. I'd say the food was just okay. I really enjoyed the tofu, but the other dishes were a bit bland. The pad see ew was also a little mushy and didn't have that nice chew and texture I look for. That said, I do think the prices are good for the portion sizes. Service was nice, and overall, it's not a bad spot. Valet parking is $5.

    First time, I don't really come around this area due to traffic and parking but Palm Thai has their own valet parking and it made the stress of parking spot a non issue. Food was good but I would say the genuine warmth of the staff was what stood out to me. The stage and live music was a nice touch and made the whole place more lively. If you want good Thai food but want a place you and a lot of your family and friends can sit, chill, and just have a good time while you eat, this is the spot!

    I went there today with my friend around 4pm and there are some people are eating and I have to say when I walked in and there is a family were heading out and they even hold the door for me and my friends The clients of the restaurant are very friendly and nice This restaurant attracts good vibe Even the valet parking person is always wearing a big smile on his face and he is super sweet The food and the waiters are the best I am a return customer here and today my waitress recommended me a beef soup and it is so delicious which is very similar as Taiwanese beef noodle soup base Fried fish cake is definitely my appetizer for sure I had fried tofu green curry, morning glory and stored fried beef and broccoli today They are having promotion on four entrees and one free Note: they have their own parking garage and $5 for valet

    Kee Mao Noodle with Shrimp
    Lance N.

    A few days ago, a few friends went looking for some Thai sauces and goods before going to the Palms Thai Restaurant. Now, I have been here before, but it has been many years, and it's changed inside as there was no more stage for Elvis to perform. The service was nice and pleasant for sure. As for my order, it was very good, but not totally expected. In the past I have ordered spicy at other Thai restaurants and they have a hint of heat. At the Palms, I would say it was a bit of a fire with the spicy rating. Hahaha... the flavor was good, but I was putting up a sweat and going through my Thai Ice Tea like it was water. Now I can take some heat and so I didn't mind the spiciness of my Kee Mao, but I will warn you to check your tolerances before going all the way up to spicy. Hahaha ... Enjoy, as I will definitely be back.

    Absolutely phenomenal no frills Thai food. The decor is quaint and modest but the food packs a punch. Went here and had a delicious lunch. Both authentic and incredibly well sized portions. You will not go home hungry. We went with the catfish salad, phad thai, and chili basil stir fry. Everything was packed with flavor and it was probably some of the best Thai food I've experienced. Rich in flavor and the perfect level of spice. Everyone was very nice and the food came out quickly. Would definitely come back.

    Khao Soi Beef
    Kenia A.

    A long-time favorite of mine, my family and I have been coming to this place for years! They offer $5 valet parking. The menu is extensive, and you really can't go wrong with anything. My personal favorite is the coconut shrimp soup, it's flavorful, spicy, and one of my gos after a late night out.

    Crab curry
    Eunice C.

    Beef satays were delicious. Love the sauce & meat were tender too. Crab curry were a bit more salty & spicy than expected from a medium, although flavorful. We might have made a mistake of dunking the vermicelli into the bowl and mixed with all of the curry sauce. Probably would be better, had I spooned the curry crab on to the vermicelli sparingly and mixed in more curry as needed. There is a parking garage shared with the storage shop next store and entered from Bronson Ave. I went on Friday night and it was $5 all night. (Check their closing hours if you wanna use it for pantages parking, which is an easy 15 mins walk) Love all the cute wooden cat sculptures lined up at the ceiling.

    2. Egg Rolls
    Jamal G.

    Myself and a few coworkers decided to stop by Palms for lunch. The restaurant was fairly empty in the middle of the day so the service was fast and friendly. I had the friend wontons, egg rolls, and as my main course I had the chicken curry with a medium spice level. The wontons were a 4/5 for me. They were crispy and flavorful. I could eat those things all day. The egg rolls were ok (3/5), but I've had better. I really enjoyed the chicken curry (4/5). I got a medium spice level which was perfect for me. The chicken as well as the veggies were flavorful and tender. I would definitely go back for this.

    The good old days

    Palms Thai was a favorite for years even before I moved within walking distance. Used to come from the valley to grab great meals. Very different place now. Last visit, food was excellent as always. Not sure how the food was tonight 3/21/26 though. Wanted to place an order to go since they no longer accept phone orders, and haven't for a minute. But instead of a real person taking my order at the bar, I was directed to a screen to select my food options. So you're going to take my order if it's for there, but a screen if to go? Nah, I'll eat elsewhere from now on.

    Trout, pad Thai, laab, curry
    Richard H.

    Always great food and nice people Fried trout always good with the side of spicy mango sauce M curry so good the meat so texture with white right and sticky rice yummer Kow soy was and is always good best to eat right away with the hot soup and extra ingredients Pad Thai yummy always and juicy not dry Pad see ewww the kids loved it said maybe their best Sticky rice not my thing but everyone loved the classics Didn't have to wait for lunch Parking I always find street parking but it can be busy at night There use to be karaoke but not sure they still have that Servers were quick and so sweet

    Fried fish
    Rick S.

    Another savory, delicious and authentic Thai dinner at Palms Thai restaurant. The catfish curry paste, Thai omelette, Tom Kha chicken soup were few of the highlights. Staff are super friendly and nice. Ambiance is bright, cozy and comfortable with lots of seatings for large parties. Parking is valet only. A true Thai classic restaurant in Hollywood. Highly recommended!

    Coconut soup
    Julian J.

    Service is sometimes a hit or miss honestly but I will say the food is really really good. Probably my favorite Thai restaurants in LA. The fried trout with mango sauce is really the star for my family and I , the crispy fried trout with the sweet mango sauce is just so delicious . The coconut soup taste better than other places . Parking is mandatory valet 5 dollars , not bad I guess being in Hollywood . The restroom has a funny story on the wall to read .

    Chicken Sa-Tae and BBQ ribeye
    Dwayne T.

    My first experience enjoying Thai food was at a birthday celebration in December. It was a fun time. Palms Thai Restaurant is a great place for large group celebrations . The atmosphere is upbeat and lively. So the wife and I returned for a post Valentine day dinner. Once again the staff was very accommodating , nice and friendly. Food is fresh and delicious, served hot from the kitchen. I love the family-style dining so I could return to second helpings of the spicy water spinach (Morning Glory). Mixed vegetables are delish also. The shrimp-fried rice was so good with large shrimp throughout. Crunchy fried wontons with chicken Sa-Tae opened the evening. BBQ beef ribeye filled me up and was washed down with a delicious unsweetened ice green tea. Looking forward to our next Thai food experience.

    Palms Thai Restaurant Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Palms Thai Restaurant

    What is the jazz band like on Friday Eve?

    Foreplay, George Benson, Stevie Wonder, and many more styles. Grammy award musicians, world class talent. The core group and their friends they invite to sit in.… 

    Do they take reservations?

    Is this the same restaurant that use to be in the same parking lot with Ruen Pair?

    Yes. But they moved over 15 years ago. And no longer have the Thai Elvis. Don't know if they still have stage singing weekend nights during Covid.

    Does Palms Thai serve Jade Noodles, my favorite?

    No, they sadly do not or that I know of.

    How much does the valey parking cost? Do they have an on site self parking lot or garage and how much does that cost?

    Free garage parking No charge

    What time is the live band starts?

    I've been there a few times various days of the week and I have yet to see one. I don't think they have a live band anymore.

    Does everyone that come here pay for parking? Where else can you park without paying?

    Yes I do pay for parking, we came in tonight and it was $5.00

    A Thai restaurant I know used to have freshly fried shrimp chips as an appetizer. Like the fresh, high-end version of what you can buy in bags and markets. They took them off their menu. Where can I get these delicacies? Does Palms Thai?

    What I do know is that Palms Thai Restaurant serves as an appetizer called the "Shrimp Cakes" which include 4 per order...and are served with sweet plum sauce. Hope this helps...… 

    Is Thai Elvis still performing Saturday Nights?

    No, unfortunately no. Thai Elvis went back to Thailand. But there still is a live singer (usually female), and that's a nice consolation.

    What would you recommend for someone who can't eat spicy?

    Yes. You choose your level of 'spicy'.

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.

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. Prices were very reasonable.

    food: really good! super flavorful, however the portions aren't as big. i'm used to going to thai…read moreplaces and the portions being huge because it's normally family style, but the serving sizes here could be eaten by a single person. service: horrible. i get it being a busy restaurant, but we waited for 10 minutes to be SEEN to put our name down. there was no one in the front... i made eye contact with workers inside and they just walked away. ambiance: i love the ambiance! so cute
