Sadly this was a no for me. Went out on a limb to try a new place and it did not deliver. The panang curry was flavorful but all it had was tofu and red peppers, at least throw in some peas or something else. Also, all tofu should be fried. Or at least give the option. The pad Thai was also pretty good flavor and texture wise however the shrimp were of poor quality. The sauteed eggplant and basil was really bad. The flavor was off and the eggplant was both greasy and not fully cooked - not to mention the sauce it sat in was 90% oil. Lastly the papaya salad. This was pretty much inedible.

The prices were very reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes. I’m already planning to bring my family back to enjoy this wonderful new spot. Highly...
Read moreJone500 Spicy is a really cool hole-in-the- wall Thai food spot that gets the job done. It ain't fancy, but the food is good and they are open late. Too many places close early in LA and this place is open to 11! Every time we go, we order the green curry. The food is spicy and delicious every time. The noodles have good flavor and they offer a variety. This is a great place to walk to and pick up some food on a late night. Also, it's father and son run. They are friendly and helpful with the menu....
