7.9
A family-run, noodle-forward Thai spot focused on aromatic broths and Northern-style specialties. Portions are generous and the menu is built for repeat weeknights, with khao soi and tom yum ramen anchoring the best orders.
Must-Try Dishes:
Khao Soi, Tom Yum Ramen, Cheese Wontons
What Makes it Special: Northern-leaning noodle soups done with real depth and balance.
7.8
A 30-year Palms fixture that built its reputation on wok-fired noodles and slow-braised proteins—the pad see ew lands with proper char and the pork shank pulls clean off the bone. Works well for family-style ordering where everyone grabs from the center, with a full bar and patio when you want to stretch the meal.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pad See Ew, Wontons, BBQ Pork
What Makes it Special: Neighborhood Thai spot where pad see ew draws devoted regulars who praise both food and service consistency
7.7
A compact strip-mall counter-service spot channeling Bangkok street-food energy with punchy dips and herb-heavy stir-fries. The room is simple, but the flavors hit hard—especially the larb, herbal wings, and roti-curry pairing.
Must-Try Dishes:
Herbal Wings, Larb Gai, Roti Curry
What Makes it Special: Street-food style Thai with standout wings and bright salads.
A compact Palms cafe running Thai Town-caliber specialties—boat noodles, soft shell crab curry, and a weekend-only breakfast menu with items like jook topped with crispy noodles—in a neighborhood where options beyond basic pad thai are thin. The teal-and-white space is charming but genuinely small, so expect to wait during peak hours and know that portion sizes on some dishes run lean for the price point.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Tom Kha
What Makes it Special: Tiny Palms café bringing Thai Town-caliber specialties like boat noodles and soft shell crab curry to the Westside, with a weekend-only breakfast menu you won't find elsewhere in the neighborhood.
