We came in on a Saturday for an early dinner. The space looked pretty similar to how it was with Pa Ord 2. The staff were very friendly and kept checking on us. We ordered the lime fish, boat noodle, crispy pork, and sticky rice. The texture of the fish was good but without the sauce is rather bland. The crispy pork is a pretty fatty cut but was dry and a bit hard if not for the dipping sauce, which had a nice bit of acid and spice to cut through the fattiness. The boat noodle soup base was a little less flavorful than what I'm used to and the ingredients, especially the liver, was overcooked. We were excited to try this place after seeing some good reviews, but unfortunately everything seemed to lack flavor so we probably won't be coming back.

It was my first time dining at Thai Central. It is a gem in East Hollywood for a Thai food. The food is very tasty. We ordered a few things, Kao Clook Ka phi, Boat noodle, and Papaya salad - the was delicious. And awesome service - from getting our order in and getting the food from the kitchen to our table. I like the cleanliness of the restaurant. We dropped the lid of something on the floor , and the server took the lid from us, he cleaned it and brought it back - impressive. Very nice and friendly servers, great food!

Really lovely atmosphere for a date! The pad see ew was delicious!! I wish there were more noodles but it was very good. Enjoyed the veggie egg rolls and the cab sav wine by the glass. Also had vegetable red curry. The flavor was delicious but wish it was thicker. I will be back.

There is a variety of Thai food selections you can try, including a 2-item combo for $12, a 3-item combo for $15, and a 4-item combo for $18. I enjoy trying different kinds of food. they taste delicious. The service was great, making it an easy spot for daily to-go lunches.

I ordered mango glutinous rice to try steamed rice, but they gave me a spoonful of coconut milk, so I ate a few spoonfuls of glutinous rice and ended up choking. I couldn't eat anything else because it was too salty.

I wanted to buy a glass of water to go to the bathroom. Then the waiter had a bad attitude and asked, "Are you a customer?" They kicked me out without even letting me sit down on the chair. I've never seen such a bad waiter.
Literally the best khao soi, creamy, flavorful, and just a small kick of spice.

Service is bad. I ordered a fired rice, and rice noodle and a mango sticky rice. But we have waited for about 50 min for the first two main dishes, BUT people arrived much later than us got the dishes much faster than us. Why?? is it because I’m alone with my 1’5 year daughter? Really don’t understand. And no smiles, not friendlyThe food is too salty and sweet. But the mango sticky rice is good.Atmosphere is ok

First time here, we had lunch here yesterday on Valentine's day and this place was AMAZING!!! Literally everything we ordered was so good. The best tasting papaya salad ever, chicken pad thai was delicious, yellow chicken curry, shrimp omelette and sticky rice was so tasty. Looking forward to coming back. Thai tea was ok.

Absolutely delicious Thai food. I had the khao soi pineapple fried rice, and Thai tea. Everything was great, and the service was good.
