LAX-C Thai Hot Bar 7.7
Chinatown
Inside the legendary Thai market, the hot bar serves cafeteria-style plates that feel like a quick trip to Bangkok. Options rotate, but expect comforting curries, stir-fries, and noodle dishes meant for fast, no-fuss eating. It’s a utilitarian setup, yet a reliable way to taste legit Thai flavors cheaply while browsing the aisles.
Must-Try Dishes: Green Curry over Rice, Pad Kra Pao, Tom Kha Gai
