UPDATE-4/8/2025 We finally decided to come back to retry them and we were extremely happy with the improvements we ordered the sampler appetizer, green curry, yellow curry, and the chef special Tom kar? (Name maybe wrong) and it all tasted delicious. The portion sizes were much improved as were the amount veggies/meat in the curries.
Small nitpicking notes to the service: we ordered tea and they came with spoons but no sugar (not that the sugar was requested, just threw us off) when the appetizer came the first server did not bring out plates or napkins so we were just eating off the shared appetizer plate. The 2nd server did bring the small plates when delivering our main food though with extra napkins. Last the eggplant chucks in the green curry needs to be cut in half at least. They were not bite size at all.
Old review: one star. We were really disappointed by the food. We ordered the yellow curry and the Tom Kha.
The yellow curry was over seasoned, thick, super sweet (we ordered medium heat), and mainly just chicken and onion with one or two carrots for $15
The Tom Kha came out as white as coconut milk, and simply tasted like coconut milk and lemongrass. I spent the majority of the time picking out tough stalks of lemongrass. My soup had two small chucks of tomato, and the rest of it was just chicken, cabbage, onions, lemongrass, and two kaffir leaves. $15
The rice...

Pork jowl with sticky rice and dipping sauce is juicy and tasty. Tom kha (coconut milk broth) and Tom yum (no coconut milk, clear broth) are delicous. I always try tom kha with a side of white rice noodles at every Thai place i go to, its my comfort dish and a great takeout leftover to pour onto rice at home. They always cook the chicken perfectly, it's juicy, tender and well done. Ive had the pad thai and drunken noodles are the right kind of bright fresh spicy, again because they use whole fresh spices. The vibe inside is classy and comfortable for daytime reunions, and date nights. Chaam Eatery's vibe reminds me of a sweet date night Thai cafe i used to love in Silverlake called Wat Dong Moon Lek, and the quality of the food reminds me of Thai District in Long Beach (northern Thai cuisine with a few...
