  This place is a shell of its former self. The food here used to be unique and incredible. The place is now overrated by FAR and the Michelin Guide means nothing. This is a totally standard thai place with totally average food (at a pretty fair price). There are many thai restaurants outdoing Luv 2 Eat for mid-price chef-style thai in Los Angeles. I've been to 3 in the past year.

  After all the hype, it was incredibly disappointing. Did takeout. Moo ping, Pad Thai with chicken, and Tum Sua Papaya Salad. Parking lot was busy at 9pm on a Friday, but was able to find a spot. Pickup was ready only a few minutes after expected time. All good there. The moo ping was great. A bit fatty and rich, but a large portion and oh so delicious. Got a side of rice to eat it with. The only thing I'd recommend. Pad Thai was spectacularly flavorless and had maybe a quarter of a chicken breast worth of meat. It felt like it wasnt made right, missing an ingredient or two. Just really... Meh. Like something you'd expect from a Panda Express. The papaya salad was horrid to me. After picking out some spoiled looking lime wedges and crab body parts I tried working my way through it. I ordered mild spice level. Definitely gave me the default medium. Not crazy hot, but it wasn't mild. I didn't find any crab meat in the salad itself and from the tiny withered looking crab carcass I fished out I didn't expect more than a pinky finger tip worth anyways. I ended up throwing away most of it (everything in the picture). It was a puddle of wet nasty noodles and barely cut papaya and the fermented fish paste smelled too rancid. Something in my brain was flashing the warning sign saying this wasn't ok to eat and I listened. And I'm someone well know to eat anything and everything. $80 for three dishes, online ordering fee, tip, and tax. Was just hoping for so much more. Feel free to try it because I'm sure it's hyped for a reason but don't be surprised if it's a bit disappointing.

  Love this place. Went back the same week. The strip mall isn't great but food is well worth it and the service is fast. I feel like I get more options here than other Thai restaurants. We ate here once and returned the following week with our almost two year old. They have high chairs and both seating.

  The food is amazing and uniquely put together. The wait time to be seated is generally short and the staff is very accommodating and helpful. Want to try some Thai dishes that are less commonly dished out, I highly recommend to come here and indulce a trip into a new world. Don't miss out and go check it out.

  The best of the best Thai restaurant In The WORLD. This restaurant is even better than many Michelin restaurants in Bangkok. The taste is Authentic and sophisticated. If I live here, I will order from here every week for sure. Kuakling is the best in my life. If you come to LA , DONT MISS THIS PLACE!!! Highest recommend!!!
