Thai Original BBQ

We came on a Wednesday afternoon and it was empty and we took advantage of the lunch special to get the bbq chicken and beef sage, both coming with fried rice. The service was good, our server was polite and offered everything we needed. We even got little salads, which I don’t think came with the lunch deal. Very simple, but it’s the thought that counts. The interior is not the most modern, but it’s not run-down or dirty, just a bit old. They even have the fish tank, a sign of authenticity.
The sate was very good. Outside was charred with a bit of crisp while the inside was juicy and it was all flavorful. The accompanying fried rice had ketchup mixed in, which is why it’s red? I like ketchup rice 🙊, but it was just unexpected.

Not a fancy restaurant but the food is really good

I grew up in Hollywood and I’ve been eating that food for over 35 years but I’ve never found a spot where they actually makes the authentic Thai food. I have eaten and many other thai food places. but nothing compares to this one. I know a couple of bigger ones one in Normandie, the other one on Sunset but there’s so many of them out of all those in Hollywood this one is the best !
I remember going there as a teenager with my uncle getting the same plate plus the seven seas seafood soup, which is delicious so now I live in San Gabriel Valley and there is this other place on Covina I’m pretty sure they brought the same cooks from the previous place because it is the exact same flavor so I ask and they actually are the same owners or where are the same owners, but the recipes remain the same I wanted to share this because I was in Hollywood which I haven’t been for a couple years and I remember I need to eat something special and great so my cravings took me down there Western and Maplewood across the street from 7-Eleven so there this is the real flavor and I’m proud to say that they earned this review I only review the best and the worst Mr. machine

I like bought my food to go from here.
It was delicious! I enjoyed it.

We ate lunch here today and I got to say that the food is still delicious as before. Me and my late father used to take out food here when I was young. Eating here was like a trip down the memory lane during my childhood years. Will definitely eat here again when I visit L.A. again.

The chicken was not bbq at all it looked like old chicken that was just sitting there & fried rice had no flavor. And wonton soup had no flavor either. I’ve had the bbq chicken at other locations & they taste good, this place just doesn’t make it right.

Also when eating into the chicken the bones & meat were all still red.. I don’t think that’s supposed to be normal. I have a tummy ache

Food was incredible. Never a disappointment! Service was excellent too. They're attentive and welcoming. Must go to!
