Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on Hollywood Blvd and side streets - easier to find after midnight. Lot parking available at nearby Thai Town Plaza ($5 flat rate evenings)
Dress code: Ultra casual - anything goes. T-shirts, jeans, club wear all common. This is a late-night karaoke spot, not fine dining
Noise level: Loud - karaoke runs nightly so expect music and singing. Not a conversation-focused environment, especially after 10pm
Weekend wait: 15-20 min wait typical 7-10pm, then clears out until post-bar rush at 1-3am
Weekday lunch: No wait - walk right in during daytime hours
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes - strong options including vegetable curries, pad Thai (specify no fish sauce), papaya salad, and tofu dishes
Vegan options: Yes - most vegetarian dishes can be made vegan by requesting no fish sauce or egg. Staff accommodating with modifications
Gluten-free options: Limited - rice dishes and curries work, but cross-contamination likely in busy late-night kitchen. Not ideal for celiac
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you both love karaoke and late-night energy. Too loud and party-focused for getting-to-know-you conversation. Better as a fun 3rd or 4th date activity
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes - they don't take reservations. Arrive before 8pm or after midnight to avoid the dinner rush. Post-bar crowds (1-3am) can get busy on weekends
Is it kid-friendly? During daytime/early dinner only (before 8pm). After that it becomes a bar/karaoke scene with drinking crowds. No kids menu but mild curry options available
How late is the kitchen open? Full menu until 4am Friday-Saturday, 2am Sunday-Thursday. One of the few places in LA serving authentic Thai food past midnight
Is the karaoke mandatory? No - you can eat without singing. But karaoke runs every night so you'll hear it. Embrace the entertainment or visit before 8pm for quieter dining
Best For
Better for: Late-night cravings, post-bar Thai food, karaoke enthusiasts, large groups wanting authentic Thai with party atmosphere. Best after-midnight Thai option in LA
Skip if: You want quiet conversation, refined ambiance, or romantic date setting. For upscale Thai go to Night + Market Song; for date-night Thai try Jitlada
