Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Excellent choice - intimate lighting, quiet enough to talk, unique cuisine shows thoughtfulness. Small space creates cozy atmosphere without being cramped
Can I get a table without a reservation? Weekday lunch walk-ins usually fine. Sunday-Thursday dinner risky without booking, especially after 7pm. Only 12 tables total
Is it kid-friendly? Yes but better for older kids (8+) who can handle spice levels. No kids menu but mild pad thai and chicken satay work well. High chairs available
Best For
Better for: Only kosher Thai option in LA with this level of authenticity. More intimate and personal than typical Thai restaurants. Chef adjusts spice levels perfectly
Skip if: You want buzzy scene dining or large group accommodation. If you need Friday night/Saturday availability. If you prefer Americanized Thai over authentic preparations

Skip if: You need a polished dining experience or spacious seating. For kosher sushi or cleaner flavors, hit up Shiloh's or Noshi Sushi instead.
