    Palms is a solid Thai Restaurant with something for everyone, and until recently, boasted an Elvis impersonator. Opt for the usual suspects, including a solid pad see ew and som tum. Read more

    If you're into garlic, the garlic and pepper shrimp is incredible. One of the most enjoyable dishes I've ever had at a Thai restaurant. The green curry and Thai iced teas are also yummy.

    I don't always eat at Palms, but when I do I get the green curry with brown rice. And I keep eating and eating it until I feel as though I'm about to explode!

    The best Thai restaurant in california!!! I'm in love with their spicy basil fried rice with chicken with spiciness level of Thai. It burns but it's so damn good. I'm Thai btw so I can handle the heat

    You should try the shrimp pad thai. It's good and big. Also try the ice tea with milk.

    Yeah, they have that weird Elvis thing going. But they also make a killer penang curry and great pad kee mao. If you want real spice, ask for "Thai Person Spicy."

    At first glance, you may think it's a standard Thai place, but I was amazed at how good the food was and how clean everything seemed.

    The owner / Elvis impersonator has recently gotten sick, so he doesn't show up anymore (saddest news ever). In good news, this is the best cheap Thai Food place in LA.

    Green curry was delicious, but the portion is just way too big. Padthai was too sweet though, but I was told its even sweeter in Thailand. They also have frog dishes on the menu :D
