Im afraid I have to change my review. The place still looks cool inside and the people that work there are very friendly. Sadly though, Pot Thai is in mortal decline. The food has taken such a sad turn for the worst that I cant suggest coming anymore. I certainly wont be back, which is too bad because it used to be pretty decent. Now its flat, mushy, fried nonsense that while perfectly safe to eat, doesnt seem very fresh at all. And on a Friday night, Im sad to say that the place is entirely empty, the phone didnt ring once, and only one person came to pick up.Good luck guys, sorry it didnt work out. If youd just fix the terrible food, youd have a chance.

Very nice and welcomed place. Food was good got some appetizers fried shrimp and egg rolls come w/sauce. Ordered house fried rice w/shrimp, and chow mein w/shrimp, beef. Got the delicious Thai ice tea w/boba.

I would definitely come back here - food was exactly like I expected it to be. And the atmosphere is cosy. Price is ok. Small cafe, just few tables available. A lot of free parking place on the plaza.I ordered Tom Kha Kai - it is coconut soup with a choice of chicken or shrimps (I prefer a little bit spicy and with shrimps), mushrooms, lemongrass and ginger. The size of a portion is big enough for 1 person. Also I decided to try Green tea ice cream and I liked it! I was totally satisfied with my lunch.My hubby tried Pad Thai - it is thai rice noodle fried with a combination of chicken, beaf, pork and shrimps with fresh bean sprouts. He also was excited about his food (said just he would add a little bit more shrimps, cause he had only 2 of them on the plate, he expected some more...). Also he ordered Tapioca with Thai iced tea - taste seemed authentic to us :)We came at 3:02 pm, just after their lunch special time ended))) Next time well try to come before 3pm and try Tom Yum noodle soup.

Its known to be one of the best Thai places in Eagle Rock for very good reason. The restaurant is very cozy and the service is fast. Their food is excellent and its a great place to bring a small group!

If you are Black I would steer clear of this place. I paid for my food and went to use the bathroom about 5 mins later one of the workers came and asked me if I stole a bag of rice packet, And asked to see inside my bag. Because Im a Christian woman I decided to show her my bag, and she offered me an empty apology. Being black in america you can lose your life over being accused of stealing. Definitely not okay. I ordered the pad see ew and Thai Thea the taste of the food was not pleasuring on top of being accused of stealing. Definitely never going back and I dont recommend this place. #NastyFoodWithSideOfRascism

A good friend and I ate at Pot Thai Cafe for dinner last night... instead of Panda Express, our original destination. So glad we took a chance on this adorable little restaurant! The decorations were so fun to look at and the food was fantastic! I will definitely be back!

The food is okay, very oily and bland, seemed as it wasn’t seasoned. Asked for food to go, very small portions, ordered a Thai tea too, boba was very soft and mushy and has light sour taste.

Love the food here! Great Thai food and in a very cozy no frills atmosphere. My favorite is the Tom Kha soup, but the Pad See Ew & Pad Thai are delightful as well. They dont serve any alcohol at this location but they have a variety of teas and beverages. This is my favorite neighborhood gem in Eagle Rock!

Would have given 3 stars if my order was correct. The pad Thai was mediocre too much tomato paste flavour. The Pad Kee Mao was actually reasonable, however we ordered chicken satay and received some weird battered prawns instead. unfortunately shall not be returning.

The food is nothing to write home about. Ive never had such a perplexing service experience. Questions like do you need a bowl with that, assuming the food in the togo box was trash, trying to tell me I wanted mango sticky rice and not normal sticky rice... I would say it must have been the guys first day on the job but it felt more like his first day on the planet.

Been going here since childhood. But todays pad see ew was cook in a hurry the pork was a bit cold like it was made earlier, the broccoli taste a bit old so it was hard to chew and the noodles were not cook well it taste old. Like someone order it and change their mind and they kept it for someone to order it. I still ate it because I just came out of work starving so yeah. But the good thing is I dont have a tummy ache 😂😂😂🤣🤣....Ill still go here and complain next time not tonight too tired😑

Very good Thai food in the Eagle Rock area. Had the chicken pad ka paow(so tasty), crispy pork with chinese broccoli and the chicken fried rice. All were pretty tasty and good enough not to have to drive to Hollywood for some thai fare. Very cool, quaint and cozy restaurant. Will be back!!

Ive lived here for 15 years and I just noticed the place yesterday. I dont usually go in that strip-mall but I was curious about the construction. I stopped in and had maybe the best Thai food Ive had in this area. Very happy.

As many have noted, this is a hidden gem, as it is tucked in the back of a shopping plaza. Though, it is the first thing you will see if you go through the back entrance of the plaza. Cute spot, authentically made food done well. Not a luxurious or grand place, but very affordable and very nice owners/cooks/front counter young man. We had the beef pad thai, grilled beef salad, chicken satay with yummy peanut sauce [I find peanut sauce seems to be done vastly different at all restaurants! : P], mango with sticky rice, and green tea for desserts! I would go there again, if we lived in the area or the next time we come back to town. Very few people seem to eat there, as I guess most people do takeout, so it felt like we had the restaurant to ourselves and that was quite enjoyable! There is also a large-screen tv running news and entertainment shows, should you want the diversion.

A great little out of the way place for lunch or dinner. I gave it three stars only because the place is TINY. Everything on the menu is delicious and if youre in the area try the mango and sticky rice for dessert or as a meal. You wont be disapointed.

This is 1 of the best restaurants in the area Ive been to several others around the area and by far this food and service is just as good if not better than any other place in the Eagle Rock area their tom ka kai, coconut chicken soup is by far the best anywhere and the best way to finish up your lunch or dinner is with that tall cold glass of Thai tea. d licious
