Hollywood Thai Resturant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

It was so so for me. I definitely saw a lot of Thai people in and around this place but honestly, it did not remind me of authentic Thai food.

I usually have a few items that are very telling of the ability of the cooks when I'm trying a new place. For Thai restaurants, it's either Panang curry, Larb Gai, Tom Kah, and sometimes something as simple as Thai tea. These items will tell me if I want to explore the rest of the menu on the next visit. (Occasionally, I'll go out on a limb and dive into something new in the first visit but I was with a friend and hungry.) So, I went with Panang. First thing was the chicken was very dry. Second, the sauce was broken. I could see the separation as the server sat it down. How anyone could serve that is also telling of the structure of the kitchen. The sauce had the viscosity of water. I guess some people like their Panang thin but I like it thicker. I was hungry, though, so I ate it. It was edible but the gut punch I got in the end was the price!! Couldn't see in the dark but I think it said 18 dollars. For a small bowl of dried up chicken in a broken sauce with no rice. Oh yeah, the server asked me while ordering if I wanted rice. I agreed. Then a different server that brought the food out said I didn't order rice. How rice doesn't come with an 18 dollar bowl of curry is crazy to me regardless, but then that server wouldn't stop asking me if I wanted rice after she already told me I didn't order. I was already annoyed but then she asked me 3 more times throughout the meal.

My friend ordered coconut juice, clams, and fried rice. I got my coconut and the top wasn't properly cut so it was a huge struggle trying to get it off. I struggled for a good 5 minutes. You would think a server would've noticed and offered to help but nope.

The clams were just so so. It was just oyster sauce with basil. Nothing really special. Probably the best item out of all that we ordered but that's not saying much.

The fried rice seemed kind of dry also and didn't have any life to it. It didn't seem fresh, but in the dark, it's kind of hard to see. Unless you are looking for it.

I think there's nothing worse then having a very mediocre meal and then getting hit with a big price. It's like having the flu and then someone punches you in the stomach. I'm already ill, don't make it worse with a gut wrenching punch to my wallet.

The service was not there. The quality, freshness, and flavor was not there. So, the price was not at all there for me.

I would rather eat at Ocha or Thai BBQ which is literally down the street. Both places I've enjoyed before. Sorry, my friend but I can't support a...

I visited Hollywood Thai Restaurant on a Saturday night with my friends and we had a great time. The restaurant is located in the heart of Hollywood, close to many attractions and nightlife options. The ambiance is modern and cozy, with a full bar and a karaoke stage. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious and authentic. We ordered a variety of dishes, including pad thai, papaya salad, fried morning glory, pineapple fried rice, and tiger cry. The portions were generous and the flavors were well-balanced. The pad thai was sweet and tangy, with crunchy peanuts and fresh bean sprouts. The papaya salad was spicy and refreshing, with shredded green papaya, tomatoes, green beans, and roasted peanuts. The fried morning glory was crispy and savory, with garlic, chili, and oyster sauce. The pineapple fried rice was colorful and aromatic, with chunks of pineapple, cashews, raisins, and chicken. The tiger cry was tender and juicy, with grilled beef slices, lime juice, chili flakes, and roasted rice powder. The highlight of the night was the karaoke. The restaurant has a large selection of songs in different languages and genres. We sang our hearts out and had a lot of fun. The staff and other customers were very supportive and cheered us on. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Hollywood Thai Restaurant. The food was tasty and satisfying, the service was warm and efficient, the atmosphere was lively and entertaining. We will definitely come back again and recommend it to anyone who loves Thai food...

We used to love this place, and we used to go there all the time. Last Monday we had an awful experience. I thought about not writing anything, but they should definitely improve a few things so here we are. We waited for about one hour and a half to get something to drink (!!!) The service was incredibly slow, but we were in good company so we weren’t too bothered abut that. We realized at the end of the night that we’ve been there for 4 hours!!! The tables around us haven’t been cleaned at all during our staying. When the bill came we thought it was too much according to what we ordered. So I asked the waiter for an itemized bill. He read the paper hand written in Thai by another waitress. The only check that we got was a series of numbers, so we had no way to see if it was correct. We paid. Nobody kept the receipt, but I went online to double check the prices. There’s no prices for the drinks, so I called. It turned out that we have been over charged for $50. We got food for a total of $85 (1 shrimp cake, 1 spring roll, 2 pad sew , 1 raw shrimps, 2 bowls of rice 1 curry) and drinks for $73 (1pitcher of IPA 1 lager and 4 Bangkok iced tea) We’ve been charged $208 + tips. So unfair!!! So not professional!!! The owner wasn’t there that night, but these kind of things shouldn’t happen. We appreciated your business and we hope that in the future you will present a check understandable to people who...
