Cool little dive bar. Iโ€™ll definitely come back. I did pay $14 for four of the worst egg rolls Iโ€™ve ever had in my life, but I should have known what to expect.

Diner Review โ„–2

This is a bar first restaurant second. This place is skinny and small. One side booths the other side bar. Wouldnโ€™t bring a party over 4/5 unless you wanna squeeze tight in the booths or split up.

Music was really great and a good volume and the tvs arenโ€™t playing sports (big plus for me) lights get adjusted throughout the day and super groovy/romantic. Great place for a date night or to mingle with some friends!

Was kinda awkward at first when we walked in. I donโ€™t mind not being greeted but the bar tenders just stared at us as we walked all the way down the hall ๐Ÿ˜ญ you can sit any where basically. If it is busy, order at the bar.

1 cook 4 bar tenders total but slow days 1 cook 1/2 bar tender.

As per my other reviews at bars im a beer boy my fiancรฉ is a cocktail angel. Was a little disappointed cause ALL their beer is bottled and for 8$. Big let down HOWEVER they have a cocktail called soi cowboy that let me forget that pain. Basically a spiked Thai tea. Absolutely AMAZING.

I ordered a pad see ew and drunken noodles with fried tofu and a side of rice.

Portions are pretty good for the price. I donโ€™t eat meat so the fried tofu isnโ€™t extra which is nice.

Pad See Ew ๐Ÿ’ฃ crispy! saucey! flavorful! This is top dog, was very very delicious!

Pad Kee Mao was really fresh with a lil kick of spice. I really enjoyed this dish but I would say (noodle wise) their pad see ew was more of their thang

Rice was a decent size but pricy in my opinion.

I will be coming back and will be recommending this place to my loved ones!

My friends took me to Thai Angel for the first time after the hardest day of my life. It was pretty late and the place was packed, the DJ was great however the vibe wasnt really my type of bar, but I just needed a distraction from the pain. Even with the chaos, the staff was kind, and the drinks helped take the edge off.

After a few drinks and some dancing, I realized I had lost my wallet with precious photos of my son that recently passed away inside. Panic set in and I was searching everywhere and couldn't find it until an asian security with long hair who was at the door noticed and asked if I was missing something and without hesitation, he helped look and found it !

To that security if you ever see this I wanted to say thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Your kindness meant more than you know and we need more people like you in restaurants, bars and in life.

Came here after a long flight from New York. The kitchen was closing down but the owner offered to make us some spicy fried rice she was making for herself. If this act of kindness didnโ€™t win me over, the food sure did. I come here often now and the food always lives up to the delicious flavors I experienced that first time. Best Thai food in LA.

Tom yum soup wasn't as good as expected, not the similar ingredients used in normal Tom yum soup. Pad thai was a relatively small plate. Taste fine!

Cool spot with delicious Asian beers.

Diner Review โ„–50

My favorite bar in the neighborhood. Awesome food, great drinks, and super friendly staff. So many amazing memories here. Really special place.

Diner Review โ„–51

Great place. Love it a lot!

Diner Review โ„–52

Really great little place! They have cocktails and a pretty large selection of imported South Asian beers. It's a family owned business and you can feel the love they have for it.
The food is quite good and the price point is very good! They have a little kitchen with one cook, so sometimes you need to be patient, but it's totally worth it!
Not laid out for large groups, but they have a pretty good sized bar with seating that a larger group could utilize, and little booths that are best for 2 people (or 4 people who want to be cozy).
Pichya was working the front and she was super nice and friendly! She answered any questions I had and I enjoyed chatting with her
The overall vibe is very chill! Nice, laid-back place, there were a handful of people who brought laptops and set up shop. I went alone and felt very safe.

THE BEST Thai food in LA, hands down. Woman owned & such a hidden gem on every level.

Diner Review โ„–61

Amazing Thai food! Super fresh. The noodles are never clumped or sticky. Friendly bar staff. Various artists and events happening on some nights, e.g., body painting, comedy, DJ's, etc. Seating is limited but the vibe is eclectic and friendly. Definitely worth checking out!

Everything about my experience was perfect up until I had the $4 CBD shotโ€ฆ It left me impaired for the whole day afterwards and โ€œCBDโ€ has never done that to me. Donโ€™t think they should be serving that to just anyone

Simply WOW!! great friendly atmosphere. Jamie, the owner, is friendly and gives you a very home-like service. Things are cooked with love for sure. Fried rice was GREAT+. I'll be back for sure.

Me and my friend were far away from homes on a Thanksgiving. We came along this bar just to have a drink.
The atmosphere in here was like a family celebration, they treated us with a dinner, turkey and candies.
Thank you for that Thai Anger, you made our Thanksgivingโค๏ธ

Diner Review โ„–85

If youโ€™re here for food, eat someplace else. The food is disgusting and service takes forever.
This is honestly a pit stop to make to the Biergarten across the street. Stay for one beer and keep it moving. The mixed drinks lack flavor and weak. The bartenders have issues; some days cool and some days moody. You guys earn tips last time I checked, treat customers with respect.

Diner Review โ„–86

Great service.. good food..

Diner Review โ„–87

Food not great but beers were cold and has a dive vibe

Diner Review โ„–88

Amazinnnnng, My husband and I were hungry late night Christmas Eve and we wanted something to eat (Me,Thai ๐Ÿ˜…)really bad. We searched and searched, mind you it was around 12am. We (I, lol Husband was ready to give in) finally found this Gem and was COMPLETELY satisfied. VERRRY VERY welcoming, Bartender that night was amazing, the owner made out dish herself and it was more than I expected ! We felt home and that's the best feeling ever. To us home is Love and this place was field with the highest principle known to Men, LOVE. Definitely My new Favorite place in LA. Peace and Love Thai Angel! Also the name is a perfect fit! An Angel is a thought of Allah Manifested is Human flesh.

*Says they open at 5pm but does not really open until after 6pm

Diner Review โ„–89

our check had false prices of items on it and the waitress said they changed the price of things yesterday but she didnโ€™t seem so sure cause the menu had the โ€œold pricesโ€ seemed suspicious and everything was as doubled

Diner Review โ„–90

I'm so upset that I dined here. It was one of the worst dining experiences on top of the bartender offending us. The food took 40minutes!! Just the appetizers alone took 30min... it was just fried food. No crab in the crab fried rice. The drinks were soooo sweet. I asked for my drink without simple syrup and it was still TOO Sweet. On top of that the server brought food for the to go orders who came in after us. She asked if we were in a hurry as if that meant we weren't hungry?? She then offered free shots to the group who came in after us...but not us the group who ordered a bunch of food and have been waiting for 40minutes!! It was a strange experience. I will never eat or drink here again. I'm truly offended by this whole experience. I want my money back and I will get it back tomorrow

Diner Review โ„–91

The Spicy Fried Rice w/crab was delicious as were the Eggrolls

Diner Review โ„–96

Unassuming dive bar with just the right kind of atmosphere that will transport you away from the hustle of LA. Exceptional service from the owner (Jamie) and her staff who are some of the most gracious bar host I've met. Aside from the array of casual to exotic drinks that you can get at any bar in town, the food dishes served here are what sold me to keep coming back for more. There's an upstairs indoor private deck you can rent out for parties or just to partake in some good old fashioned karaoke. Hardly busy during the early hours of the evening, but it can get a little crowded on late night weekends.

The bartender/waitress, Laura? I believe. She was amazing. She was shuffling a full house of people all on her own. The food was awesome as well.

Diner Review โ„–105

Diner Review โ„–106

A great little.dive bar with amazing Thai food. The bartender and chef was our gracious host. We got the Shrimp Wraps, Mama Noodle Soup, and Pad Kee Mow (drunken noodles). All of it was great. Shrimp Wraps were perfectly crispy. The soup was flavorful. The Pad Kee Mow was so delicious and spicy. Also tried a Thai lager and some Thai tea.

We will return. Mainly suggestion is not to bring a big group just because the staff is small, intimate, and friendly, so small groups may be best.

Diner Review โ„–107

Incredible food, drinks, and service with a laid-back atmosphere in a family-run establishment, whatโ€™s not to love? We had the Chicken Kra Pow, Bat Wings, and Pork Jerky, all of which my companion, who has spent a great deal of time in Thailand swears is better than anything heโ€™s had in Bangkok!

The atmosphere on a post-pandemic Monday night was enjoyably chill and laid back, but we were told that if youโ€™re looking for a great party vibe to come in on the weekends. Either way, I canโ€™t recommend this place enough!

Diner Review โ„–153

A great Thai restaurant in a friendly dive bar, Thai Angel did not look like a promising place to have dinner. It is relatively dark and looks more oriented towards drinking than eating. However, I soon discovered that the drink menu has several tasty original cocktails and that they have their own free parking lot behind the building. The bat wing appetizer was great with a dipping sauce that had a surprisingly complex flavor. Our entrees were also great. The pad see ewe was so tasty that I couldn't stop myself from polishing off the whole dish despite a level of spiciness that would usually stop me from eating more than half.

My wife and I frequented this establishment at their prior location. The staff there was always nice and friendly.

My daughter, grandson and son in law visited the new location for a late lunch on 04-14-18.

While there, my daughter sent me a text stating that the owner overheard my grandson asking for french fries. The owner took it upon herself to have fries delivered to the restaurant for my grandson to enjoy.

Thank you so much for being so kind to my grandson. I am grateful for this small gesture of kindness. We will continue to patronize your establishment.

Sincerely,

Henry Alatorre
