Her Thai — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I finally was able to have lunch at this hot new Thai spot in the Mid-City area today and was NOT disappointed! The food was delicious, authentic (I've been to Thailand many times), and the portions were perfect and plentiful. I had the CRISPY ROLLS and they were great - Mindy, the owner gave me some spicy sauce on the side to try and it was at just the right heat-level. I also had the CHICKEN LARB appetizer which was delicious and went will with the HEALTHY RICE side order I got to go with it. I also tried the YELLOW CURRY with chicken and as a curry aficionado I can safely say it was just cooked perfect. For a new restaurant, they are really on target with the food, not a bad dish in the lot. I also tried the LYCHEE MINT drink, refreshing and delicious, as well as the THAI ICED COFFEE w/ coconut milk and it was SO good, and get it with the coconut milk defiantly. This is a very casual setting, ideal for takeout, but there is a little bit of seating inside and a little more outside if you want to hang out and enjoy...

The food was pretty good. I wouldn’t say that it’s the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to but the food was tasty and the workers were kind. I ordered chicken wings, papaya salad, eggrolls, and rice. The only thing that had me confused was the service. It was like a take out style dine in service where you had to go to the register to order and pay for your food, the food was served in paper containers, and you have to pour your own water. However, if you choose to “dine in” the cashier would bring out your food for you, and you would tip like a customary dine in service. So if you’re looking to dine in, expect an incomplete dine in experience with some “take out” components. Overall, my experience was good. The staff was...

You could taste the basil in the green curry and it felt so flavourful and fresh. They used roasted eggplants in it too, which worked really well even if it wasn’t usual.

The Papaya Salad was great but could use just a little more fish sauce (but just a personal preference).

The Kra Pow was stellar, and tasted a bit different from what we usually have but in a good way.

The chicken larb portion was so big and went well with the sticky rice.

You cant go wrong with the food here. It feels like thai chilies were substituted for habaneros, which was a surprising twist. As someone who’s a stickler for Thai food, a place like this has managed to make me a fan of Thai food in America. Will be coming back whenever I’m...
