La ong Beverly Hills — Restaurant in Beverly Hills

Reservation is recommended but we went on a Saturday night, not packed at all. There are meter parkings right in front of the place as well as public parking lot around, but it could be tricky because the public parking is free for 2 hours and the meter parking is 1 hour max.

Speaking of the food, sea bass in green curry & the green curry with chicken and shrimp are recommended. They are slightly different even both are green curry. The sea bass one is creamy and savory, not spicy at all, it paired well with the grainy rice. The fish came with crispy skin and was cooked just right. The green curry chicken and shrimp is most authentic and paired well with white rice- not generous on shrimps though since we only got 2 of them. The crab fried rice is acceptable, not greasy but also not impressive, probably not for someone like flavourful food.

The grilled quarter chicken- definitely not recommended. The sauce is too sweet and americanised, had nothing to do with any Thai food I have ever tried. Also it's a pity that the mango sticky rice is not available even this is the best season for mango. The thai iced tea was good and authentic but the two tones was a bit bitter than expected.

This is a dog friendly place and the service was excellent. Overall speaking, if you don't want to drive to Thai town and you live in LA west, and you're craving for Thai food, this is the place to go, but make careful choices for your food if you want authentic Thai food. I will work on the menu if I was the chef, some items will simply hurt the authenticity of this Thai restaurant, it should not become another fusion place in...

La Ong has become our absolute favorite spot to dine, and for good reason! Every visit is a delightful culinary journey filled with fresh and vibrant flavors that never disappoint.

My wife and I are regulars here, and we always start with the irresistible chicharron, which is perfectly crispy and flavorful. The papaya salad is a refreshing treat, beautifully balancing sweet and tangy notes. And don't get me started on the chili prawns - they are a spicy sensation that we can't resist ordering every time!

What impresses us most is the consistency of the dishes. No matter how many times we visit, the flavors are consistently fresh and bright, a testament to the skill and dedication of the chefs at La Ong.

Beyond our staple orders, the menu offers a fantastic variety that keeps us excited to try something new each visit. Whether it's exploring new flavors or enjoying our trusted favorites, La Ong always delivers.

The ambiance of the restaurant is equally charming - clean, well-maintained, and with a wonderful atmosphere that makes every meal feel special. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the overall welcoming experience.

La Ong truly captures everything we look for in a dining experience: delicious food, excellent service, and a warm ambiance. It's no wonder it has become our go-to restaurant. If you're looking for a place to enjoy fantastic Thai cuisine in a delightful setting, look no further...

Location is 7/10. Right downtown Beverly Hill, so it is good to take walk and watch people after your meal if you can find a parking spot. Food 6.5 out of 10. Clean and well presented but tasted so-so. The larb (ground meat salad) is quite bland compared to the standard of this dish. The pad Thai is too sweet. The chicken wing dish is not seasoned enough, and tastes more like plain, generic deep fried chicken wing. Service is 8.5/10. Servers are polite and quick, although the dessert dish can take a while to make (15 minutes), but at least the staff tells you to order ahead if you want it. The price is 4.5/10. It is a bit overpriced for a Thai restaurant even for Beverly Hills standard. But the real downer is that they slam you with a 20% automatic gratuity charge on your check if you are a party of 6 or more. OK fair enough, even though I would tip 20% these days anyway, especially when I like the serving staff. What I have a problem with is they did not post it anywhere to inform you ahead. Not on the menu, not on the table, not from the staff. This gratuity charge is the establishment policy, not a tax. Therefore, it should be considered as part of the price, and you should be informed about that before you order. I will not come back and would recommend you drive a little bit further to Korean Town, China Town or Vietnamese Town to get better food for...
