50 Best Thai Restaurants near Hawthorne

“Food was good. I had the Panang Curry and Chicken Satay. I would order from here again but only for take out. The restaurant was very hot and it made eating hot food difficult. However, they may have better AC when a heatwave isn't coming through.“

“Closest I've come to my favorite Thai food! Price is good, and one of the best Thai food places in the area. You get a good amount for decent money, and the service is nice. They were very attentive, and kind. It's also fairly quiet which I love!“

“Farmhouse kitchen is the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever had. On top of the food being great and delicious, the presentation makes you want to order everything from the menu. Chef Bo was so nice to come out to our table and all I can say is she was a very nice, young & talented person. She even made me a special dessert for my birthday. Thanks Bo❤️ I highly recommend this place if you want an authentic, excellent and delicious food. In addition, the place is so full of life. The decor is amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the fancy drinks and dishes on the menu.“

“Excellent food and fantastic service😊“

“I ordered the Tom Yum noodle soup, and what struck me immediately was the balance. The broth was not overpowering and had just the right amount of spice. I also liked pickled chili and enhanced the experience. Had the Tapioca for dessert. It was soft and sweet.“

“Yes, this shop has very good service 🥰“

“A wonderful little Thai place, seating is a bit limited as it seems more of a takeout/delivery place but it's never too crowded that you can't sit down.
The food is incredible, and the service is on the same level. Highly recommend if you're anywhere near the area.“

“I experienced a lot of Thai food near here and I am a Thai food lover. So I can tell that portions are more sufficient than other restaurant, the ingredients are fresh and the taste is very good. If you are looking for the authentic Thai food, this is the right place“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“This is really a very small restaurant that specializes in Thai food. There were not many customers when we visited that night, so the environment was quite quiet. Since I was very hungry after work, I ordered more dishes. I personally liked their crab fried rice. It was not too salty or inexplicably sweet, but the Tom Yum Goong noodle soup was of a lower standard and didn't taste like Tom Yum soup at all. What’s a little surprising is that the quality of the desserts they serve is actually very good. Sticky Rice Mango is my favorite dessert. Although the mango is not sweet enough, I am still willing to give it high marks. The fried banana with coconut ice cream just won my wife's appreciation.“

“Excellent food, great service! I have a severe gluten allergy and was able to choose from almost anything on the menu which is extremely rare!

Dietary restrictions: Almost everything gluten free. Lots of vegetarian options as well.

Parking: Parking lot behind building with a couple spots.“

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food“

“Extremely nice family restaurant. Their curries are very tasty and they are so welcoming, I will long remember how nice they were with us and will come back anytime I am in this neighborhood. Thank you for your generosity and kindness.

Parking: Huge parking“

“My new favorite Thai food spot! I always order yellow curry so that’s what my review is based on. I am vegetarian so chose it with tofu. I had additional requests and they came through. I asked to make it mild and leave onions out and add vegetables too. Got everything I asked for about $15 out the door ! Sauce was thick and tasty, rice included. Atmosphere wasn’t the best but I had my food to go anyway. Waited about 15 minutes. Worth every minute and penny. We found parking in the back.

Vegetarian options: I had yellow curry

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian“

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“This is GREAT Thai food. LOVED the Tom Yum with shrimp and Pad Thai Chicken. Reasonable prices for this zip code! It’s an upscale dive in terms of ambience. Location wise it’s a hidden gem, hiding in plain sight right near Highland and Rosecrans. Very limited seating (about 6 tables) and I think their main focus is on take out, vs in house dining which is ironic as there is a parking lot literally across the street!

“Best Thai food in LA! 🔥🔥🔥“

“My whole family loved the food and we had great service!“

“Tastes absolutely delicious and exactly the same as it did 30 years ago! Teriyaki chicken, order the #1 and you'll be happy!“

“Have lunch with co-workers every week here. Great food and very friendly service. Best Thai food I've found in the South Bay area!“

“Was craving Thai food and was on our from LA to Orange County. Found this place to have excellent reviews on google. We ordered pad Thai , basil chicken and shrimp fried rice. The food tasted extra ordinary. Haven’t had such amazing food in a long time , that not only tasted exceptional but looked great as well. The service was awesome as well and so was the ambiance. Would definitely recommend.“

“Who would’ve thought that some of the best Thai food in the U.S. is hiding in Harbor City? I really wish I’d discovered Warin Thai Restaurant sooner—I'd be a regular by now! Instead, I kept going back to what I thought was the best Thai spot in L.A., all while unknowingly driving right past Warin Thai every time. Now that I’ve found it, I have to say, this place is a hidden gem.

To be honest, the restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside. But that’s pretty much the case with most places around here. Warin Thai is located in an old, modest strip mall, but let’s be real—you’re not here for the ambiance. You’re here for the incredible food, and trust me, it’s well worth it.

The menu at Warin Thai isn’t as huge as some other Thai restaurants, but it doesn’t need to be. There’s more than enough amazing options, from soups (which you can get by the bowl or pot), to appetizers like crispy chicken wings, fresh Thai salads, stir-fries, noodles, curries, and even dessert like mango sticky rice. Prices are pretty reasonable, too—about $8-14 for soups, starters, salads, and desserts, and $13-19 for the mains. And believe me, every bite is fantastic.

Here’s what we had for dinner:

Pad Thai ($13.95) – Stir-fried rice noodles with eggs, bean sprouts, cilantro, lime, and a tasty sauce.
Pad See Ew ($13.95) – Stir-fried flat rice noodles with eggs and Chinese broccoli.
Garlic Salmon ($17.95) – Grilled salmon served with spinach and mashed potatoes, topped with garlic sauce.
Green Curry ($13.95) – Homemade green curry paste sautéed with coconut milk, bamboo shoots, and eggplant.
Panang Curry ($13.95) – Thai basil, bell peppers, and kaffir lime leaves in a rich Panang coconut curry.
Glass Noodle Salad ($13.95) – A refreshing mix of ground chicken, shrimp, tomatoes, onions, roasted peanuts, and cilantro, tossed in a spicy lime juice dressing.
Thai Fried Rice ($13.95) – Classic fried rice with egg, onions, and tomatoes.

Every dish was phenomenal. As someone with a Thai background who’s been to Thailand countless times, I’ve got to say I was seriously impressed. Thai people usually aren’t easily wowed by Thai food in the U.S., but this place totally nailed it.

It’s hard to pick a favorite because everything was just that good, but if I had to choose one, the Glass Noodle Salad really stood out. It was honestly one of the best salads I’ve ever had—juicy, sweet, spicy, and packed with flavor. It’s a must-order for sure.

Overall, the food here is consistently amazing. If you’re craving Thai food, don’t hesitate—Warin Thai is where you want to go. You won’t be disappointed.“

“My order of Pad Thai was ready faster than anticipated, and turned out to be delicious! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. This place is a somewhat hidden gem and I will definitely be back. Be advised that when they indicate spiciness they mean it so, if you don't like things deliciously spicy, be sure to select mild or not spicy!

Kid-friendliness: The owner had a variety of games to keep the little ones occupied“

“The food is very good they have excellent service and customer service I really like to eat here since they cook according to the order that one makes everything is delicious I recommend that you come to eat here at the restaurant all the dishes they have are very delicious and exquisite???“

“We’ll definitely come back! Everything is good!“

“Delicious! Got the tom yum soup, pad thai, and soft shell crab curry. All soooooo good, much better than natalee thai . I wish i knew about this place earlier, then we wouldn’t need to drive all the way to thai town for great thai food!

Service was quick and friendly, no wait on a weekday evening! A little hidden behind the trees on the street but glad we saw it on google.

(We asked for everything to be spicy but it wasnt spicy so I think they toned it down for us?)

Vegetarian options: You can choose the proteins in most dishes, they include tofu or veggies as options!“

“muy buena comida y el servicio muy amable.“

“the thaibeef and its sauce is amazinn..just enough to taste it.....good food“

“I was across the street at 4 Season Brewery and happened to see the place. Had the green curry with chicken for $16, it was very spicy but still edible. Very fresh and crunchy vegetables, one of the best curries I've ever had. The service was also super friendly! Unfortunately our vacation is coming to an end, otherwise I would like to come back.“

“We had a good experience here and will be back. Note that for a $1 upcharge they will cook your dish in avocado oil rather than vegetable oil, AKA soybean oil. It's hard to find Thai restaurants that don't cook with soybean oil. Since I have a reaction even to soybean oil, I truly appreciate their avocado oil option!

Dietary restrictions: I was able to eat safely here on my strict gluten, soy and dairy-free diet. They were cooperative and knowledgeable about their food.“

“The Best Thai in Los Angeles. Excellent service, and the food wow so good.“

“Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. We split two dishes. The flavor was solid on both, but definitely indulge in their hot sauces because it elevates everything from great to phenomenal. Would honestly eat here everyday if I lived nearby.“

“Eat often ! Love the service and food!!!“

“Tasty food and great atmosphere“

“Despite its small size, Three Spice Thai Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience, with food that is well worth the price. The restaurant's intimate setting, combined with its excellent service and cleanliness, makes it a venue that patrons will want to return to again and again.“

“The food was terrific. My girlfriend and I enjoyed everything about the food. We got the chicken skewers, market seafood soup, and Thai fried rice.
The only thing that bothered me was the service. It was Sunday night, and the gentleman sat us down. His only interaction was not until we finished our food to check if we wanted more water. I would understand if the excuse was because of a busy night. He had help on the floor but took care of every other table in the restaurant and outside the table. I am unsure if it was a situation where we didn't match the demographic of people who came in.“

“—Pacific Rim Thai Kitchen—
#Pacific Rim Thai Kitchen

I was traveling by car in Los Angeles. I remember that day after I left Santa Monica Beach, I headed to Manhattan Beach after noon. I found Pacific Rim Thai Kitchen near my hotel because I had already eaten In-N in the morning. -Out of the burger, I want to eat it with white rice! Because Thai food has fried pork rice, which is very on point.

@ Los Angeles, California“

“My friend took is to Si Laa Thai Restaurant for dinner this evening. The food was delicious and service was good. I will go again definitely.“

“Love love... me and my sons fave...“

“Poom Thai Cuisine is an absolute gem! This charming, intimate restaurant offers a cozy dining experience with limited but comfortable seating. The warm ambiance creates the perfect setting for an enjoyable meal.

The food is exceptional! Their Pad Thai Rice stands out with its perfect balance of flavors and a brilliant touch of lime that elevates the dish. The Drunken Noodles with Shrimp offer just the right level of heat - flavorful and spicy without overwhelming the palate. The Pad See-Ew with Noodles is expertly prepared and absolutely delicious. Oh! And we tried a coconut ice cream with peanut toppings that was lovely treat!

What truly sets this family-run establishment apart is the outstanding service. The father-son duo running the restaurant are incredibly gracious and attentive. So sweet.

Poom's friendly and professional demeanor and excellent attention to detail with orders make dining here a delightful experience. The genuine warmth and passion they put into both their food and service make this restaurant truly special. Highly recommended for authentic Thai cuisine!“

“excellent, delicious and authentic“

“Food is delicious, fresh and there is great variety. The service is also excellent and I especially love all the spirit they put into the holidays. My favorite Thai food on the west side!“

“Google Thai places near me and came up with this restaurant. Had a very high raining with lots of reviews and so I went to try for myself. Walked in with no reservation was immediately seated. Options look good prices were good overall you can get a great meal for about $20 a person (drinks excluded) definitely stop by“

“What a gem! Incredibly tasty and well made Thai food, spicy actually means quite spicy but still super flavorful. Really appreciate the care taken. Favorite new west side Thai restaurant!

Vegetarian options: Clear checkbox for making dishes "vegan style", was even highlighted on the receipt

Dietary restrictions: Vegan friendly“

“Ubon is a petite Thai food spot in Torrance that serves scrumptious Thai food such as tofu pad Thai, pineapple fried rice and some curry with wontons. The restaurant is small but the food is Large! Make sure you go and experience this small taste of Thai.“

“I got a salad and the Pad Thai and could not have been more pleased with the freshness and flavor. The restaurant was small, but not too crowded or loud. My wife and I could have an easy conversation and both agreed this was great food! This is a late review, as it was over a year ago when we were here. If we are back in the area, this will be a place we WILL stop to eat.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten and dairy free options were easy to order.“

“David’s Special! So Delicious! Love the taste!“

“I think this is one of the better Thai restaurants I have been to in the area in terms of quality of food and ambience. I ordered the Tofu Phad Thai with no egg and the Vegetable and Tofu Curry off the vegetarian menu. Both were very delicious. The restaurant space was very nice as well with a nice bar. I will be coming back again whenever I am in the mood for Thai.“

“The food was very good! I will be visiting again“
