Hip outpost in a shopping mall offering classic Thai cooking with full bar in glowing digs with TVs.
This is a bar first restaurant second. This place is skinny and small. One side booths the other side bar. Wouldnโt 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 arenโt 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 donโt mind not being greeted but the bar tenders just stared at us as we walked all the way down the hall ๐ญ 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 donโt eat meat so the fried tofu isnโt extra which is nice.
Pad See Ew ๐ฃ 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!
Cool little dive bar. Iโll definitely come back. I did pay $14 for four of the worst egg rolls Iโve ever had in my life, but I should have known what to expect.
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 didnโt 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.
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.
I love this spot. My favorite bar in LA! Great crowd, staff, food, drinks. If you know, you know
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 Thanksgivingโค๏ธ
Btw, drinks were good and for a good price.

Disappointing! Can't move around. Way too crowded! Stop serving food more than a hr before closing on a weekend? Unheard of. Won't be returning
Best place EVER !
Great people nice atmosphere

My favorite spot to drink in KTown. Jamie's a doll, and the food is fire.

The best bar and restaurant in LA.
Cool dive bar with a good menu
Nancy was a wonderful positive vibe for the night
terribly small menu and no curry and weโre not open when they were supposed to.
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!
Great food and awesome staff. Dinner and drinks make for a good night.
their pad thai is excellent !!
If you are looking for a low key place to grab drinks and a quick bite This is the place!!
Amazing food at fair prices and great drinks. Do yourself a favor and try Jamie's juice while you're here ๐
Best place to chill and friendly staff
๐๐ a hidden gem of los angeles ๐๐ the tom yum is ๐ฅ
I absolutely love Thai Angel ! Their fried rice is sooo good and the cocktails were great ! It's the perfect place to unwind with a drink after a delicious meal. Just an amazing place I also want to give a big shoutout to Jamie and Chino โค๏ธ for the warm welcoming. Can't wait to go back! โญโญโญโญโญ ๐น๐ท๐โค๏ธ๐
Cool spot with delicious Asian beers.
My favorite bar in the neighborhood. Awesome food, great drinks, and super friendly staff. So many amazing memories here. Really special place.
Great place. Love it a lot!
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.
You must come here. period!!!!!!!!!! ๐โค๏ธ๐
A must go!!!! Food is Absolutely incredible - 10/10 experience
Such a vibe at this hole in the wall. Staff is all super cool and their food is delicious
Food was great, owner was AMAZING!
Kitchen closes at 11pm
THE BEST Thai food in LA, hands down. Woman owned & such a hidden gem on every level.
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!
They stay open โtil 2 a.m. but the kitchen closes much earlier, FYI. Like before midnight.
All it was so god
The drinks and food were well priced and quite delicious. The drunken noodles were bursting with flavor. Thank you to Bree the bartender for a wonderful Super Bowl service.
Everything about my experience was perfect up until I had the $4 CBD shotโฆ It left me impaired for the whole day afterwards and โCBDโ has never done that to me. Donโt think they should be serving that to just anyone
Comedy club was fun
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.
An excellent little hole-in-the-wall bar. Super relaxing atmosphere, kind staff, and reasonably priced outstanding food. Great sake, too!
Good!

Delicious food, fun atmosphere, great comedy!!
Great service, drinks and food. Love it
If youโre 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.
Great service.. good food..
Food not great but beers were cold and has a dive vibe
Amazinnnnng, My husband and I were hungry late night Christmas Eve and we wanted something to eat (Me,Thai ๐
)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
our check had false prices of items on it and the waitress said they changed the price of things yesterday but she didnโt seem so sure cause the menu had the โold pricesโ seemed suspicious and everything was as doubled
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
This place is amazing !!! Great vibe all the bartenders are friendly and the owner Jamie .... Let's just say you will never find a owner like this in Los Angeles !!! Must come. Oh yeah and that food OMG I can eat here every day
The Spicy Fried Rice w/crab was delicious as were the Eggrolls
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.
Lugar espectacular, tranquilo, buena musica, y la atenciรณn espectacular.
great food, service, and atmosphere, and fun karaoke.
I love ambiance of Thai Angel. I went w/ my girlfriend who told me about this place & enjoyed it a lot. One night I would love to perform here & have it recorded on video. Keep the great work! This is a great family business I would recommend to my friend & family.
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.

Incredible food, drinks, and service with a laid-back atmosphere in a family-run establishment, whatโs 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 heโs had in Bangkok!
The atmosphere on a post-pandemic Monday night was enjoyably chill and laid back, but we were told that if youโre looking for a great party vibe to come in on the weekends. Either way, I canโt recommend this place enough!
I Luv Angel :-p
Absolutely love love this place! The owner makes you feel like you are at home. Amazing food and service. I will continue to go here regularly!
Delicious food! Charismatics and fun staff.
Great place! Great food! Awesome Owners that make you feel right at home! Lots of fun! Highly recommend!!
My favorite Thai place in LA
love this place ! great atmosphere , great dishes and reasonably priced drinks !! LA donโt sleep on thai angel
I love this place! The food is really good. And the drinks are well-balanced; the Jamie's Juice (named after the owner) is fantastic.
Food delivery service is terrible and very to slow i order in advanced never received my food until an hour later. Just ordered 2 items that simple:
the best food in the world
Love it here! It has such a warm atmosphere. Everyone is so nice and welcoming and the food is great.
If you are in K town you should stop here for food, drinks, and to hang out.
The food is so bomb and staff is awesome
Not my kind of place. It has a very stale smell to it, and a little to dark. I like to be able to see my food.
Delicious food, great music, fun bar board games.
One of my favorite bars in LA. The bartender/owner is super chill and the drinks are generous ;) and delicious. Atmosphere is laid back and you always feel welcome.
This is one of my hands-down favorite bars in LA. It is run by a mother/daughter team and they are some of the nicest people imaginable. The drinks are super good and the food is really yummy. They also have karaoke, but I haven't tried it, as of yet. Support this awesome local establishment! ๐
Lovely people, chill atmosphere, delicious food. Grateful I'm a neighbor!
Mmmmmmmuah perfecto!!!!
Great bar where strangers becomes friends! Excellent Thai food as well!
I like this place food is ok. Staff is really nice. Canโt complain been here twice. No bad experience yet.
Fun spot, good food and friendly folks. What more can you ask for.
Great food
AMAZING people! So chill! Relax an ENJOY!
Met the owner super nice be back soon! Loved the Alcohol infused Thai iced tea
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.
The food here is so good!! We ordered to go but the atmosphere was awesome and it I'm sure we'll be back to eat in.
Food here is amazing. Service is Excellent!
Some of the best spring rolls I've ever had! Really fresh and flavorful food. Easy parking behind the building (rare in this area) and good service. Sadly no liquor license which is pretty terrible because nothing goes better with Thai food than beer. Great Thai coffee.
Absolutely delicious.... Our gorgeous hostess served us well the food was fragrant & tender. We combined 2 ala cartes bedr fried rice & chicken pad thai which was the right thing to do... so yum!! It's a bar with ambience that has great food. We're stuffed... :)
Great vibe and delicious food
Me and my friend young had the very best time there!!!!!!! Great place to relax
Small bar with amazing Thai food and great people.
On point. Extra bomb. Good prices. Great atmosphere. Better staff. If you havenโt got it, you wonโt get it.
Awesome place, with amazing food and drinks.!๐ช๐ผ๐
Hello Angel, as a chef in a awesome LA reasturant and a person that is always in the look out for fun cool places to go hang with friends I was very happy to find Angels Cafe.
Not only does the place have a great look and Angel who was working the bar so nice.
The food is high quality.
Fresh from the vine vegi's chicken cooked just right and spicy noodles so yummy you'll want to go back asap.
Trust that you are in the hands of a staff that love giving you good hip vibe, music and awesome food.
If you are reading this go now.
You'll love it!
Great Thai food. Stop in and enjoy.
Closed now
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
I miss it so much!!!
cheap drinks, NICE staff. cool dive bar. think its closed
awesome bar really nice staff. think its closed down now.
A fun little divey bar. Friendly staff and customers, and some decent Thai dishes to go with your drinks. And occasional ad-hoc karaoke.
Pretty nice late night place love the setting and the food was pretty good too. Kinda spicy but then again I have a sensitive pallet
Great beer selection
