No-frills choice with a plant-filled patio for Thai cuisine & fusion fare like tuna-curry burritos.
The coconut rice is the best! I ordered pineapple coconut rice salmon... the flavors mix really good I am not a fan of pineapple pizza but this was a good experience.. DISAPPOINTED in the fact that I got 5 little chunks of salmon.. for this big rice mountain not enough lemme say that..
I saw people next to me ordering the lunch specials and they looked more proteinic than mine that was from the regular menu..
The orange drink is Thai Tea taste similar as a Korean bubble tea without the bubbles haha
A simple family owned Thai place that serves up classic Thai cuisine. They have very few parking spots, but street parking available. The inside has an ourdoor and inside area. Service is super friendly and helpful if you're undecided. The cooking is earnest and they add some extra flair to liven it up. I tried the Knom Gean which is a curry fish noodle dish that was different and tasty. The noodles were buckwheat and a tad overcooked, but the curry was very flavorful. The Pad See Ew was straightforward and good too. The Sticky Rice and Mango was also classically made, but wished they had some sesame seeds on top. Overall, a pretty solid Thai spot that will satisfy.
I highly recommend this place. This restaurant has been my go-to dining spot for a decade, always delivering exceptional dishes. From the aromatic green curry to the tantalizing tom yum soup, every bite is a flavorful delight that keeps me coming back for more. Always consistent and one of the last restaurants with reasonably priced ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great neighborhood thai spot! Delicious food, unpretentious vibe, friendly staff.
we’re from canada and we were craving thai food.. found this spot and it did not dissapoint! the drunken noodles and beef stew were 10/10
Favorite neighborhood Thai place in Weho. Always delicious dishes!
Food was good had a 2 course appetizer and a main/combination fried rice and didn't realize the main was enough to feed 3 people was good food and really cheap... Recommend this place 👌
Excellent food and amazing service. My go to spot for Thai food
Great food, great service

Not great. Not even average. No flavour. Red Thai Curries had very little sauce. Don’t understand the outstanding reviews for this place.
Our favorite Thai restaurant. Always fresh food, deliciously prepared, and great service. Don't forget the Mango Sticky Rice!
Edit January 2023: Galanga is very popular these days. Our first time back in a few years. The garlic salmon was once my favorite here. This time it was overcooked and dry. The beef in the pad see u was overcooked and tough. The flavors were still there, but the dishes just weren't as enjoyable as they were when we lived in the neighborhood. ☹️
Update August, 2024: Quality is as high as before. Maybe my last visit was a bad night for the chef. At any rate, everything was delicious tonight. If you've ever been disappointed by cream cheese wantons, thy theirs; fresh and very tasty!
Love this place We have been coming here for years ! Good food and prices are good !
Thai fusion should not include chicken burritos. ( I did NOT order one) But just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
I tried the pad Thai, Thai Thea and the appetizer for two!
The pad Thai was so good, just the right sweetness. I like to add spicy chili sauce for more flavor. 9/10
The Thai tea was authentic & so gooooood. 11/10
The appetizer for two was 10/10, we got to try everything and I liked each item!
The service was fast and our server was friendly. I’d recommend this restaurant, give it a shot!
Food was presented well, but some of the orange chicken was dry and chewy. The pad Thai was very good. Cute restaurant and kid friendly. Very friendly service
Atmosphere is very casual but the food was amazing and spotlessly clean. Reminds me of hole in the wall restaurants in Thailand. I had green curry with chicken. Perfect heat. Big portions. Plenty of veggies, protein and sauce. Came out so fast. Thai iced tea available in choice of alternative milks (I had almond).
Fast, clean, inexpensive, easy parking. Great food. Friendly service. Amazing small thai place. 5 stars.

Perfect local Thai spot. Super affordable especially with the lunch special. I’m here at least once a week :)
Everyone was very nice at this quaint restaurant. The Orange Chicken was fantastic!
Yum, yum. My favorite Thai restaurant. I love the lunch thai burrito combo it comes with salad and ice tea. What a bargain. I get the garlic chicken one. Friendly staff and a great outdoor patio.
Drunken Noodles were tasty but very spicy. Had to ask for this creamy sauce to cool mouth down. Asked for water which the waiter didn't seem to respond well to who I think is one of the owners and then took his time and after getting the water he proceeded to walk right past me and give to all the other tables including outdoor seating before coming back to me last. This happens again he'll get zero tip as he is an owner of the restaurant.
Small, dark, simple restaurant with great food, friendly, patient service at a very low price. You might miss it if you aren't looking. It's next Fatburger's parking lot. We will come here again!!
The food was good. The portion sizes of the lunch set menu was adequate for each person. Would recommend getting a starter if your a hungry. Only downside is that they they don’t have a liquor license and therefore not Thai beers on offer.
The coconut rice is the best! I ordered pineapple coconut rice salmon... the flavors mix really good I am not a fan of pineapple pizza but this was a good experience.. DISAPPOINTED in the fact that I got 5 little chunks of salmon.. for this big rice mountain not enough lemme say that..

The orange drink is Thai Tea taste similar as a Korean bubble tea without the bubbles haha
Ordered beef massaman curry with coconut rice. Was average priced, I would say normal portion not large. Curry and rice were beautiful, however coconut rice wasnt white it’s dark. It still tasted ok. No serviette or cutlery in bag which was annoying.
As someone who works in the bustling West Hollywood/Hollywood area, I've discovered my ultimate go-to spot for lunch - and let me tell you, it's a game-changer! The lunch specials at this joint are simply amazing - they're not only incredibly helpful, but they're also more than enough to satisfy your hunger pangs. Speaking from personal experience, I highly recommend the Green Curry with Chicken - it's a flavor explosion in your mouth! And if you're feeling adventurous, give the Pad See Ew a try - it's absolutely delicious. Needless to say, I'll definitely be making a return trip to this spot very soon!
Had an Outstanding Birthday party dinner Celebration 🎉 Totally FAB Food Absolutely Delicious Sweves Fresh and Hot Have great cups Of Best meals Lovely Restaurant 😁 Take Out is Available.
This place was highly recommended by a couple locals from the area for both the delicious food and verrry reasonable prices.
Stopped by during lunch and gave their lunch special a try, I had the teriyaki salmon, the pad see u and a couple of the dumplings & dumplings.
LOVEDDD it!! The food was flavorful and very tasty, the service was genuine and the outdoor seating are was a nice touch. I’ll be coming back!!
Great food! We ordered pho, tom yum and pad thai. They were all top notch. This place does not get the recognition it deserves. Highly recommended! 5/5
I see by mm XD mm
Very inviting cozy place with smiling welcoming faces.
Wonderful food great service and casual atmosphere one of my favorites in the area
I LOVE their food! I’m really picky about pad Thai and theirs is really good. The som tum and tom kha gai is great and their egg rolls are the best! I don’t know how they keep them from being greasy and soggy when I order delivery. I have yet to try their curries and orange chicken …. Those will be next! Definitely recommend!
Wow! Really great food and amazing service. And they even have free parking!!
I usually do take out bcuz I live around the corner. Been a regular for years! Never disappointed. Glad they're open after a remodel in the kitchen. Happy they're back & busy! Best in this side of town!!
Young gentleman was very nice when I was there
It’s a regular place for me and I like to explore the menu. It’s all so good and fresh. Currently obsessed with the avocado salad (add shrimp). The dressing is chuggable!😋
Update: the restaurant was closed for two weeks and not answering the phone. We went back when they re-opened and were told they had a plumbing issue but it had been fixed.
The next time we went back, we noticed a “B” rating on the door. Upon reviewing the LA County health review online, we learned that the real reason they were closed was due to a “cockroach infestation”. We did not eat and promptly left.
As long-time customers, we did not appreciate the dishonesty and will not be going back.
Prior review: Have been eating here for 7+ years. It’s amazing from start to finish, service, food, accommodating allergies. Cannot recommend enough.
They have changed some of their ingredients so some things aren't the same. But it has put me in the mind to try different things. Had the Thai salad, very good and great as a light yet filling lunch
Some of the tastiest food I've had in a while. I got the summer rolls, the chili lime fish, and some brown coconut rice. Kind service, lowkey, beautiful patio.
This place is so amazing the food is incredible the garlic chicken is the best ever and this is the best Thai place I’ve ever been to very authentic. The staff is really nice too. I have been going here with my family for 15 years and I will continue to come in the future.
Super nice staff. The food is really good and very affordable. My experience was really good. I would highly recommend this place.
The best meal in LA I had so far. Seafood is especially good.
Hands down best Thai food in all the country I had so far. And their prices are so reasonable! This place is truly a hidden gem. Has tons of regulars, and you will find yourself becoming one too. The staff is overwhelmingly friendly and they remember faces. In addition to all that, the vibe here is amazing. Perfect for a fancy or casual date. Galanga really makes an impression! Below is a picture of the cashew dish with beef and brown rice. Their panang chicken is a MUST try too. One of my other favorite dishes.
Ordered delivery from here, amazing food and flavor at a great price.
Terrific food, very reasonable, friendly service.
the food is great and for a good price too!
Amazing neighborhood spot! Great patio and a $10 lunch special that can’t be beat!
Fantastic Thai fish cakes great cocktails green curry chicken be warned comes on the bone which is non-traditional. But still delicious. Great choice when you fancy a break from Mexican food on your travels highly recommended overall.
Von 2 Abenden in LA direkt zweimal dort gewesen - absolut umwerfend und gigantisch! Tolle Vorspeisen - feiner Geschmack, sehr lecker!
Hauptgerichte auch wahnsinn, egal ob Fisch, Huhn oder Rind - immer Eine Gaumenfreude! Besonderer Geheimtipp: Kokusnussreis
Der Servive war auch perfekt- zuvorkommend, zurückhaltend, freundlich.
The whole family deeply enjoyed our meals seated in the State St.
We love Galanga. Everything is tasty and affordable. Specifically, I can’t say enough good things about their fried rice. Seriously, try it. And we love everyone who works there, so kind and patient.
Nice people. Food simply is not great. Cooked with sugar mainly and low quality ingredients (avoid the orange chicken).
💯
Super Yummy Neighborhood Thai... with a Cute Outdoor Patio
Everything is Delicious and Service is Great
Highly Recommend for Dine in or Take Out 😀
Love this spot! They are always very friendly and fast. The food is really tasty and they use a really good assortment of veggies when you get veg instead of a meat. Also the prices are great and they have lunch specials.
I wanted to love this place based on a friend's prior visits...I ordered the luncheon special $13, Salmon Teriyaki. Not just a "tad" dry....it WAS dry and slathered in sweet teriyaki sauce, most likely to compensate for the dryness. The teriyaki sauce reminded me of bottled version. About 3 to 4 oz of salmon with one cup of white rice and four pieces of vegetables. When you're out with friends isn't it always embarrassing to bring these things up to the wait staff and cooks??? Fusion?!
My happy place :)
Very yummy.
Have eaten here many times and lament not rating sooner. The Thai Beef Stew I had was unbelievably good for what I expected. Meat was so tender & the gravy made with peanut sauce is literally divine. I have not been disappointed once off their menu.
Friendly, attentive service, clean & quiet restaurant, good and plentiful servings as mild or spicy as you prefer
I read the reviews, everyone says this place is delicious, what did I do wrong? I couldn’t rate this any higher than average. I think a magic wok or happy wok vibe is present here. I don’t like any of those places by the way. I’d definitely like to return and try something else. My go-tos didn’t pan out here.
A+ for timing (she said 10min, set timer 10min, as it went off she’s approaching) and meal temp.
Firecracker shrimp: tempura batter wasted. In between the sauce and food temp enclosed in a styrofoam container (imagine a meter), 5 of out 100 bites were crispy. The rest of the meal felt as if I was eating a funnel cake.
Fried Wonton (minced chicken): clearly I misread this, I was hoping for a bit of cream cheese, so the error was on my part there. I wasn’t impressed even a little bit. Nothing to be desired, for me. Chicken felt dry to the tongue and the sauce was more like what the firecracker shrimp should have had; as it had a better zest to it.
They have a wonderful lunch menu and excellent food. It’s definitely fusion and I’m usually not a fan of fusion restaurants but this one is exceptional! If you’re in the area and feel like having some Thai food check this place out.
Great service, great food, great price
Best Thai food in LA! A low-key joint in West Hollywood that offers a wide array of carefully concocted Thai fusion dishes. The team strives to maintain a delicate balance of flavors in all their preparations. Galanga Thai Fusion deserves nothing less than 5 stars for the food and service. Pad Kee Mao with tofu and Cranberry chocolate wonton with vanilla ice cream are personal favorites.
Lovely place, great food, great service excellent Thai ice tea
I love the lunch menu here, and they offer brown rice too. Lovely outdoor seating and proactive CV19 protocols. Menu is very good as are the prices. I love spicy and I get that here.
The best
Did not patronize!
Really great restaurant! The spicy chicken fried rice had excellent cuts of grilled white meat. The price was unbeatable, especially for the area. Can't wait for my next visit!
Great food
I live the spicy eggplant with chicken
Great small place!
Pleasant staff, very quick service. Love their Pad Thai!
Delicious food, reasonable prices, kind customer service, nice outdoor dining.
I've ordered here many times and my favorite dish is the Spicy Mixed Tofu, which you can request to be vegan (ask for no fish/oyster sauce). It has a fantastic flavor and unique texture.
Tonight I dined in for the first time on the back patio, which is very peaceful with plants, birds chirping, spaced-out garden tables, and heaters.
I drank the house tea, which is a combination of floral flavors: jasmine, chrysanthemum, and green tea. Absolutely lovely and comes in a mini French press.
There are free parking spots in the lot.
I LOVE this place. Absolutely everything is delicious. They don't put enough salmon in the Pineapple Salmon Fried Rice though :(. And yes, that is an actual thing they make, it's fire! You've never had Orange Chicken like theirs. It taste air fried and the sauce is light so the chicken never gets soggy or heavy. Ugh, 10/10
Super yummy and the freshness of tne food was amazing. The staff was super nice and attentive. I love that we always find awesome restaurants like this when I visit California.
Super flavorful! The Cashew nut chicken is amazing!
First time and it was good
Fresh and tasty.
Great bang for the buck?
Just the best.
Very delicious dishes. Highly recommended and definitely coming back!
Wow. Not one to review but i felt it wasn’t fair not to. Food all on point and the price point was amazing. Go here!
I've dined in at Galanga in the past as well as have ordered to go, and tonight I put an order in for delivery. Not once have I been disappointed with their food. Usually I play it safe by ordering the Galanga fried rice with chicken which is good! However, tonight I wanted to try something different from the menu. Before I ordered online, I called up the restaurant to get insight on the popular pairings with coconut rice. At the suggestion of one of the nice gentlemen who works there, he said his favorite was the Crispy Fish with the Spicy Basil sauce. I'm glad I took his advice. It's so good, but it is indeed spicy. I'm not normally into spice, but this is well worth it! Not to mention, the coconut rice is delicious!
Excellent affordable Thai food
Galanga got a great lunch
special for under $10.00.
My go to is the Eggplant with chicken, white rice, salad, and extra sauce at the bottom. Don't forget the Thai Tea or Thai Coffee. Everything on the menu is great. Service is super fast, and nice staff.
5 Stars
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Great thai lunch menu. I love the chicken burrito with salad and ice tea. Always order spiciness mild
Rude , Racist, They hung up on me when i called to place a order .
My co-worker and i went the first time , Rude the girl is very rude to you she treats other race with good customer service.. they will never get my money
The food is good everything is delicious but the one thing I don't like is there sweet spicy Seafood I like the original spicy Seafood soup.
Thai restaurants can be iffy, but not this place!!! They have good food that is tasty and the restaurant is well kept. Try the orange shrimp, orange chicken or the fried rice combination plate. These are just a few of my many favorites to choose from.
Was good. Lettuce wrap bomb.
I’m from the east coast and was not a fan of the pad Thai. It was completely different than what I’m used to getting. It had a sweet potato taste to it.
Fast efficient service, well planned and prepared healthy meals. That's all I ask for, this place delivers
Great Pad Thai. Not a big fan of the spicy fried rice or the spicy green beans (a little oily). Always good, friendly customer service, great prices, and always clean.
Food is usually good, always fresh tasting. Teas are hit or miss. Sometimes they taste freshly brewed and other times weak or watery. Service is quick although sometimes a little bit indifferent. Good prices. Dining area is a bit small. You really feel that at lunch time when you have to be careful not to knock into your neighbor's table when leaving.
Some of the best Thai in my opinion.
Galanga
Thai fusion
This small restaurant on Santa Monica avenue in west Hollywood is a great place for a quick lunch If you are there by chance, or because you work or live in the neighborhood; you will not get disappointed. There are tables inside and also in the little sunny garden in the back.
Their curries are the best; yellow, green or red, with fish, chicken or shrimp, (at your taste or tolerance )from mild to spicy hot. It comes with vegetables and rice, delicious flavors of coconut cream, spices and ginger of the Thai cuisine.
Salads, seafood, fish and duck dishes are also a good choice from the menu a la carte.
Prices are reasonable, for a two course lunch and tea or soda probably you will pay around 15 dollars.
Don’t expect much from the service or the ambience, but you will get a nice smile, politeness from the owners and a flavorful, honest fresh meal.
Ordered the Panang curry, with tofu, which was delicious. A lot of Thai restaurants put like 2 vegetables and oodles bamboo shoots in their curries. Not here! A great amount of vegetables and delicious fried tofu. Best Thai food in the area hands down.
Love this hole in the wall. Most people take out, but if you want to sit in, there's never more than a few tables taken.
Loved it.
I love how relaxed this place is, but they’re killing me that they close at lunch time. Half the time i cant go cause its in the afternoon
Love their fisherman soup with coconut milk. Highly recommended
Amazing delicious!!! Love it!
Great Thai with superb Lunch prices
Just good, decently priced Thai food. Nothing is mind blowing but I have yet to get a dish that was disappointing. It’s been perfect when I am too lazy to go to East Hollywood.
Nice
Great taste and price
Great little Thai spot in WeHo. Unfortunately as from Jan 2019 Lunch special has jumped in price.
Good food, friendly service, low prices, nice atmosphere with pleasant soft music. Lunch special before 2pm worth checking out. The cashew chicken comes with brown rice, veggies and salad with mango dressing all for $9.
I’ve been going to Galanga since it opened - full disclosure I live nearby in the hood. I’ve had many a lunch - a good $ deal - and a number of dinners there and enjoyed all of them. I especially like the duck noodle soup and the other duck dishes like the spicy duck and the Thai curry duck. It’s getting harder to find duck served in restaurants and at reasonable prices.
The coffee and tea are good and likewise in their iced Thai versions.
I heartily recommend Galanga Thai restaurant. May it remain in business for many years to come.
Great selection
They close from 3-6. But it doesnt say that online. I wont visit here again. It's 4 pm they look open with guests.
The food here is good, the place is welcoming. Lunch special are on point if you love to save money. White rice or brown rice choices are available. Handicap parking and great customer service. Their sesame chicken, and Thai tea are to die for! I love how they are constantly changing the table cloths I guess they care about making the place feel vivid and fresh.
If you have a ph’o on the menu, I expect a Hoisin sauce on the table.
Good service good price good food
Always Fab! Great grub at a great price!
This restaurant is one of the best I've ever had! So delicious, clean and yummy! I love the pad see u.
