50 Best Thai Restaurants near Hawthorne

“I enjoyed the food at this restaurant. The fried calamari was delicious, super crispy and fresh. I will definitely return just for this plate alone. I had the pad thai and the beef broccoli plate. Overall the food and drinks were great. The restaurant is small but very clean and friendly staff. Plenty of parking available. No rerservation required.“

“Drove from Vegas over here for a concert and stumbled upon this hidden gem. It’s located in a small plaza with limited parking/space. The storefront has a couple comfortable spaces to sit & enjoy their food. The waiter was very kind & checked up on us to make sure we were enjoying the food. We ordered the chicken poppers as an appetizer, dark meat hainan chicken over garlic rice, and the crispy chicken over garlic rice. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. The hainan chicken also came with 2 sauces to dip the chicken in - a hainan sauce which was sour, slightly sweet, and slightly salty. The other sauce was a smoky spicy sauce which was amazing. Both entrées came with a clear chicken soup which was also very enjoyable. Service was very quick, efficient, and caring. Please give this hidden gem a try, you won’t regret it. 10/10 service and taste.“

“Menu has very clear indicators of what can be made vegan! food came out quick and was tasty! the lady working was also very nice and sweet i got a thai iced tea, spring rolls, fried tofu, yellow curry, and chow mein Updated from previous review on 2026-05-21“

“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😊“

“Yes, this shop has very good service 🥰“

“feedback regarding my recent visit to your Gardena location on Father's Day. I traveled all the way from Orange County specifically to try your mango sticky rice.

While I found the mango sticky rice to be good, I felt the price was a bit higher than other places I have visited, and I likely wouldn't make the long drive solely for that dish again. On a positive note, I really enjoyed the coconut jellies; the flavor was great and the size was satisfying, though I believe the pricing for those could also be improved.

Thank you for the meal and for taking the time to read my feedback.“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

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

“I accidently place an order ,on line.
But unfortunately I dial the wrong Thai restaurant..I called the place and was attended by the owner . He was very polite and understood my mistake. He went ahead and cancelled my order and refunded any amount charged on my acc. I'm very thankful for that.“

“We really love the MR tuk tuk at huni square! We receive the most amazing service from sajon and Ripon. They looked after our kids so well even brought them ice cream! We will Cơme hếre mạny mạny more times/ thank you so much 😊“

“KRATA has become my new favorite Thai spot close to home. The restaurant is clean, quiet, and has such a nice atmosphere. Everything we've tried has been delicious. The Garlic & Pepper Shrimp is a must order, and the Thai noodle soup (Khao soi) was so comforting and full of flavor. And don't skip the mango sticky rice! it's easily one of the best desserts on the menu. I'm so happy I don't have to drive all the way to Gardena every time I'm craving great Thai food!“

“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!“

“I had the Salmon Kra Pow which was amazing. My partner had the Smiling Tiger and really enjoyed it. His sister brought us here and said she loved the food. She is vegan and had Pad See Ew with tofu.

They had traditional thai tea, fries, chicken wings and more. Great spot to eat and people watch while dining outside.“

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

“Pretty good restaurant with authentic flavors. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the dishes are interesting, like the special lobster pad Thai and soft shell crab pad Thai. The lobster one seemed especially popular, so I might give it a try next time. There’s only 1 bathroom, so good luck during rush hour.“

“Small little thai place with the friendliest servers ever. Theyre also always playing some kind of food adventure shows on their TV and often in Asia or in Thailand. Great place for a quick bite. Good food. Good people. Good shows. I wish this place the best.“

“Hi Maricio! 1st visit to this wonderful place with handpainted mural. best fried tofu green curry i ever had!!! Everything is 100% fresh! tofu was tasty light fried soft inside. curry flavor had just right spice tasty coconut balance & perfect cooked veggies. bright white rice so fluffy i munched it like a side dish. see ya next time!“

“We havent been there for awhile and just dropped in today for a quick lunch. Tough to see so few tables occupied, but the waiters are just as friendly as before. Tough economy for restaurants. they still got good food at good price. Hope they pull through this tough time, and people come out to dine more often!“

“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.“

“Did not expect to be this nice because google image show a very simple restaurant. I went there yesterday with my family we were looking for Thai restaurant near by my house. I just move here for school so not familiar with area but my family want to eat our culture food. I am on a budget and this place coming with high rating. I like it a lot. Service was good. Crab fried rice for $13.99 is to die for. I usually spend closer to $20 for crab fried rice else where and they even use the real crab. Chicken wing are amazing. Red curry is also taste like home. I will definitely coming back. We sit there for closer to 2 hours and my nephew was entertain. They have games for kid and coin machine too. What a good find!“

“been ordering from here for a long time. it's a neighborhood staple. There are many Thai restaurants now but I always order here when I'm craving. the Mussamun curry is like crack lol. it hasn't changed much throughout the years which most of us know can happen frequently at our favorite restaurants. Nice family as well. Don't let these great family run restaurants go away.“

“Best Thai food in LA! 🔥🔥🔥“

“I love this place ❤️ I went here yo celebrate my 17th birthday with family and it was awsome I would come here again and definitely bring my friends and other family members here ,I recommend everyone to come here ,thank you to the employees and the chefs and the manager who works there thank you ❤️“

“muy buena comida y el servicio muy amable.“

“One of my favorite spots! I eat here regularly because everything tastes amazing. The Pad Thai is a must-try — it’s the best I’ve had! Great food, friendly service, and good vibes every time.“

“I went to have a late lunch / dinner by myself. The food was hot and fresh and very tasty. My server was very friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed my meal and my dining experience. I will definitely make this one of my favorite restaurants to go and visit and eat.“

“Delicious, fresh, unassuming. Food is great on its own but then the spices they offer on the side? Great.

Not bodybuilding food, not protein packed, I will say that. But that's probably not why you'd come here; between, meat, veggies, rice, a well rounded meal.“

“The food is great! Might be a little bit too sweet. Overall is nicely cook with great taste.

The staffs are so nice. Always having smile on their faces and paying attention to details.

**Must order shrimp fried spring roll, not any regular spring rolls that you ate.“

“Edit: They are closed till July 2026, they took the month of June for vacation! Good for them miss my soup lol

There are so many amazing things about this place, it is truly special. My husband grew up in Manhattan/Redondo Beach and has ate at both locations since childhood. We rediscovered in a recent search for soup one day about two months ago and I have not been the same since. I am obsessed.

While we have had a variety of dishes, and they are all super amazing, the first I want to personally highlight is the coconut chicken soup. I say it first because not only is it absolutely phenomenal taste wise (I like to get an extra side of broth only to sip on in the morning), the health benefits for someone like me, who struggles with gut and digestive issues, the galangal and like leaf pair with the amazing broth and slight spice from the chili is SO healing. That is partially why I get the extra broth so often, having it in the morning has been life changing. I’ve been able to eat a lot more and the last couple of years, that has been a struggle for me. This soup is a gift from heaven, for real.

We also really love the Massan (Muslim) Curry. The way these owners prepare their ingredients is such perfection. The peanuts are so perfectly boiled and cooked, and the sauce is to die for. My husband always jokes we should just get two because he essentially eats the entire thing in five minutes or less. I’m lucky to get a bite in. I also recommend adding extra peanuts. It’s an up charge but they are divine.

Any. Chicken. Dish. And I don’t say that lightly at all. I have serious issues with texture when it comes to eating, despite having an extensive taste palate…I don’t enjoy chewy textures or fat. The way these owners prepare chicken is prepared: cleaned, tenderized, cut, cooked…I have not got a “bad bite” as I call it when I get something too chewy for my liking. Their chicken is so perfect, I can actually order and enjoy satay skewers from here. I love satay but it’s rare to find a place that makes their chicken well enough that I will order it. Their cucumber salad is also amazing and I also recommend ordering an extra side of that as well.

I can’t say enough good things about how delicious and gut healing their food is. It really has helped me start to regain weight and have an appetite again after a couple of bad health years; it’s cooked so perfectly I could cry; and the flavors are just so amazing. Ingredient quality 10/10. I love this place.“

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

“Literally, was one of the best meals we've had in LA, and we've eaten at the best restaurants in the world. The food was truly transportive to the year we lived in Bangkok, but accentuated by a fine dining twist with a California fresh seafood and produce vibe. ALL of that said, when I went out of my way to tell the head Chef (white, short dark hair, goatee, tattoos), on our way out, that we lived in Bangkok for a year and that what we just ate was the best Thai food we've ever eaten, he barely looked up at me, seemed annoyed, and left me feeling immediately regretting going out of my way to compliment him. Super disappointing end to an otherwise spectacular meal. This is purely an indictment on the chef's attitude, and nothing else. The food was transcendent, the service was impeccable, but he was an ungrateful jerk. Even if he was busy, which he wasn't when I praised him at roughly 9:30pm, he should know that he's in the service industry and his customers are his livelihood. I've had markedly more appreciative reactions from world-famous celebrity 3* chefs, which he is not. I can only imagine his Thai (some of the kindest, most gracious, humble people on earth) bosses would be horrified.“

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

“Best Thai food I’ve ever eaten.“

“Are normal Thai Cuisine restaurant of choice was closed. So we decided to look for an alternative. We're glad we did! It was late, and we were only looking for take-out. But the restaurant looked very nice, I plan to dine-in next time!“

“Food is excellent and fresh! Their spring rolls are the best! I tried the spinach with tofu and garlic this time and it was fabulous! I’ve never had anything bad there. I Almost always get food to go- . I’ve dined in a few times, it’s nicely decorated, and not too loud, just has a bit of an odd feel for some reason.“

“This is my go-to spot for Thai food in LA. A hidden gem with great service, and rich, delicious curries. The Thai tea is the best Thai tea in LA. The yellow curry with duck is my favorite and I order the phrik khing again and again, but you truly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.“

“The food here was honestly so much better than expected and definitely worth the visit. The location may seem a little rough at first glance, but once we sat down and ate, none of that mattered because the quality of the food and service completely stood out. The portions are large family-style servings, easily enough to share between a few people, which made the meal feel like a great value. I also loved the cute porcelain Chinese-style takeout boxes they used for the steamed rice — such a small detail but really memorable. The service was excellent throughout the meal, with the server checking in multiple times to make sure everything was good. He even noticed he accidentally brought the wrong fried rice and corrected it before I even realized it myself, which showed real attention to detail. Overall, the experience felt welcoming, generous, and genuinely satisfying. Definitely a place I’d come back to again.“

“The food was great however I’m not a fan of the younger cashier/waitress. She snatched my $20 when I paid for my food and ignored me when I asked for chopsticks.“

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