Pailin Thai Cuisine - Authentic Thai Flavors in Los Angeles, CA

Amazing food! They have a large menu with authentic items where you can really taste the quality. Can't recommend this place enough.

This place absolutely slaps for pad thai. It's nearly impossible to find a flawless execution of pad thai even in the only Thaitown in the US and Pailin is definitely right up there. To be clear everything I've gotten here has been solid I just have been dreaming of the pad thai I had in Bangkok and this is the only place I've been to in LA that comes close. 5 stars!

Best Thai food hands down! I've been coming here with my parents since I was a teen. 17+ years later, the food the owners cook shows their love and passion. I always enjoy the taste, whether I pickup to go or eat it fresh at the restaurant. Love Pailin!

Everything is so good!! We ordered curry, pad Thai, fried tofu, tom yum fish, and crab cake, no complaints on anything, very authentic. Store is a bit small and "traditional"... Parking in this area is a challenge.... People are friendly after all.

Kind service, clean, food felt authentic. The owner taking our order was very kind. Get the mango sticky rice!

It was my first time here because one of my best friends recommended it. We were the first costumers! They happen to be open today on Martin Luther King Holiday! Yay! I ordered the green curry and she had the khao soi, which is a noodle soup. The food came within 10 minutes. I tried both and they were absolutely delish! I would definitely be back, therefore, I highly recommend this place if you're ever in the area OR craving for Thai food! Thank you for a great first experience!

You MUST COME HERE!!!!! THIS place is a must!! The best THAI food in LA. It's a family owned joint. Andy is the owner and every now and then his son helps. Our favorite orders are: we order with different meats and tofu at times - PANANG CURRY - great depth of flavor, classic taste well balanced, definitely home cooking vibes - PAD SEE EW TOFU - noodles are cooked well and the soy is just right - PAD THAI - classic dish very very tasty! - KAI SOI WITH NOODLE - this is a must, very tasty! Parking - is street parking so can be difficult. You can also park at Ralph's a couple blocks down and walk over.

I haven't been to Pailin since COVID and finally got to Hollywood and found out that Pailin Thai is STILL my favorite thai restaurant! Food was just as delish as before. Tonight I ordered: Pad Thai with Shrimp Red Curry Chinese Brocolli with no protein. I was so full! Highly recommend if in Hollywood and Thai Town! Side note: I heard someone at another table say she loved the Chinese Brocolli. And she's not wrong - it's so good! The prik name pla they make is THE SPICIEST in town. OMG. I usually can hang with spoonfuls on my food but just a little pepper was getting my sweat on so beware. Also: they don't serve alcohol.

Wanna know where Thai folks go for good Thai food besides their own kitchen? HERE, lol. Pailin serves up tasty authentic Thai. What is unique about this restaurant is they cover all the regional Thai basics and it's GOOD. A lot of Thai restaurants cover multiple regional "specialty" food, but don't do everything well. My mom eats here weekly and brings me take-out. Some of my trusted Yelp buddies that know good Thai food eats here regularly (you know who you are, lol). It's a hole-in-the-wall type place, and if you don't mind that, it's not a bad place to check out. Personally, I don't come to the actual restaurant often. The area is hectic and sometimes to much traffic for me. I send mom instead, lol. Take-out from here has never been a problem and everything is always good and packaged nicely.
