LA | Thai Town | Mae Malai – Michelin‑Noted Boat Noodles! 🍜🌟

This humble Thai spot earned a Michelin mention for its Original Thai Noodle Soup — and after trying it, I totally get why. There’s often a line, but service is quick and prices are incredibly friendly ($10‑20 per person). What we tried: Original Thai Noodle Soup 🍲 – The award‑winner. We got it with thin noodles, mild spice, and beef. Savory, aromatic, and just spicy enough. Small bowl only, but at $8.95, you can easily try another style too. Dry Tom Yum Noodle 🥜 – A tangy, peanut‑based version with pork. Large portion, bright flavors, and those crushed peanuts are addictive. Kanom Tuay 🥥 – A coconut‑based dessert with a jelly‑like texture and a layer of sweet paste underneath. Light and interesting. Coconut Ice Cream 🍨 – More like a dense shaved ice. A bit sweet, but refreshing. If you’re in Thai Town and craving authentic, flavorful noodles without the fuss (or high prices), Mae Malai is a must‑stop. Don’t miss the original boat noodles — they’re tiny but mighty! 💪❤️ #MaeMalai #ThaiTownLA #BoatNoodles #MichelinEats #AffordableThai #NoodleHeaven #LAFoodFinds #ComfortInABowl #EatLocal #SoCalEats #HiddenGem #FlavorBomb #TryTheOriginal #GreatValue #FoodieShare #LAEats #SimpleAndGood #CaliforniaDining #WarmBowls #NoodleLove
