The Original Hoy-Ka Thai Noodle reviews
19Amazing thai restaurant. I've had the chicken laarb, fried rice, beef pad sew ew, chicken satay, mango sticky rice, and I will recommend/reorder any of those dishes. The papaya salad was lacking a bit tho.
The Original Hoy-Ka Thai Noodle has quickly become one of my favorites. The food at this Thai restaurant is amazing. The food is always fresh and flavorful, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The spice levels are perfect, and the portions are generous. The green curry is a must-try. Highly recommend the mango sticky rice for dessert. The ambiance at this Thai restaurant is really lovely. It's a great spot for a date or a night out with friends.
Clean, comfortable and friendly staff. The food, however, was boring and lacked flavor and spice. With the high rating & number of reviews, and that it’s essentially in Thai Town, I was very disappointed in the food.
Didn’t want to accept us inside with a registered service dog. This place should be investigated. We had to leave after they told us that « the boss only allows blind people dogs »…. Employees only applied the policy of what seems to be a very interesting boss. Completely absurd and illegal.
We ordered Pai Thai and Tom Kha Soup delivery. Pai Tai was great However we felt Kha Soup was sour so we called the restaurant and provided our feedback. The business owner was welcoming and patient. She offered a replacement for the Kha soup. We went there to pick up the replaced dish.
It was a cute restaurant hiding behind
a small door. Love the decoration and atmosphere there.
This restaurant was open in 2014 by a traditional family from Thailand. They have a family wall in a corner that showed the history. Warm and cozy. Kindness always goes a long way.
There is no better Thai food in the area, and if that's not enough, it's also cheap! Great staff and fast service. I've been to most of the Thai restaurants in town and this one was the best.
This place is really really good. Food is spicy but really good. I've been to Thailand and the food here is close to what I had in Thailand.
The best thai food i have ever had, the thai tea was perfect, the red curry was addicting, the service was incredible. If you havent been, treat yourself to this place it is amazing
Came here for a quick dinner date, amazing service, price, and food quality. Delicious! One of the best Tom Kha soups I’ve ever had!
During pandemic we continued to support by takeout, and finally we eat in and it was very delicious with every dish full of flavor. Fam fav, CrispyPorkKaPrao was so crispy good, DrunkenNoodles RedCurry DuckNoodleSoup and mangostickyrice all highly recommended. Parking in the rear or street parking is available.
The Duck noodle soup is fantastic, the dipping sauce for the fresh rolls was awesome (an over used word but it applies)! We can’t wait to go back!
Our visit to this restaurant was interesting! It was the first time my wife, I, and our four-month-old kid visited any restaurant. The server was kind enough to give us excellent sittings so that we could keep our baby's stroller comfortably. After waiting for 15 mins for our friends we realized that we are at the wrong restaurant. We immediately started to leave but even after explaining the situation to the server & the staff were very kind & understanding with smiles on their faces.
Five stars for friendliness!
Came here to meet a friend over lunch. I was surprised how empty they were at 1;00 pm on a Friday. I know they're usually packed for dinner. Service was great. I appreciate that we weren't rushed as we caught up over tea after lunch. The yellow chicken curry was great. Good warmth. Good flavor. Good amount of veggies and chicken. A bit pricey than we pay for our curry in the Valley, but I'd go back.
10/31/22: I had the crispy pork with Chinese broccoli. It's pretty good, sometimes the flavor is confusing cause the skin is fried so that it tastes and feels like chicharron chips. 11/16/22: Had the Hoy-Ka Noodle Soup with pork to go. It's decent but a bit too sweet.
Good Thai restaurant, nothing amazing. Parking on street and in the back of the building (kind of tight). No booze. Service is efficient. Food good with a large selection of all favorite dishes. Table seating and high bar communal seating area. Found the yellow curry to be too thin. Tom Kha was good but lots of small lemon grass pieces made it a chore to eat.
This place offered very oily rice, soups, chicken and even salad, which was a huge disappointment because I like clean Thai food. Furthermore, the meat was not tasty: dry and not succulent (crispy pork) or downright atypical, flat and textureless (satay chicken). The highlight was the Thai green curry, which was quite nice. The sauces were also mostly decent, as were my fishball noodles (not the oily soup though). Service was also good. For this, I give 2 stars.
This was the most Westernised - in a fast food, unsubtle way - I have experienced of Thai cuisine so far. In a bad way.
We had: papaya & crispy pork salad, satay chicken, Thai green curry, seafood, fishball noodle soup.
Quality of food went down. It takes 45 minutes for green curry to come out and it practically tastes like coconut milk with sugar the consistency is pure liquid. So what did they do for 45 minutes? They raised their prices yet the quality all around has gone down. Don't waste your time and money here. Go to luv2eat down the street or kruang tedd, jitlada etc. Also the male waiter has an attitude seems like he always has some excuse for everything. Not something you want to deal with.
Authentic, delicious Thai food in Hollywood.
I'd expect for a place like this to be in Thai Town a little bit down the road, but this place apparently is a long standing LA institution.
I was craving Thai Boat Noodles and this place didn't disappoint.
Spice is defintely true to Thai spice levels so be more on the conservative side when ordering spicy.
I came here for dinner during the week with my girlfriend. We had yellow curry, chicken pad Thai and chicken fried rice. Everything was good except for the pad see ew. The Pad see ew had a burnt taste almost like the meat was overdone and threw the noodles dish off.burnt aroma/taste just overtook the flavor of the pad see ew. Other than that it was pretty good. Service was pretty decent. Our waiter came and checked on us a few times. Other than that it wasn't too bad.
