Spicy Sugar Thai - MidCity

Amazing Thai food, the best in Mid-city!! Great service and ambience, I recommend coming on Saturdays! :)

Simply Amazing, Authentic and closest to Bangkok flavors. Never had such an Authentic and delicious Thai food in the entire US. The flavor, the taste, the presentation takes you back to Thailand.

Best Thai food I've had in LA and Sophia was so sweet and attentive. Wings, Khao Soi, panang curry, basil fried rice, green curry dumplings, and mango sticky rice were all so tasty. This is authentic Thai food.

This is the best authentic Thai food I've ever had. You know it's good when Thai people congregate and eat here. I will be coming back time over time and trying everything on their menu!
I had the baked wings, crispy duck rolls, pad kee mao, and spicy basil fried rice. 10/10 can't wait to taste more.
Don't be rude when dining here! They are a small mom & pop shop with limited seating and a hard working small team.

FOOD
- vegan khao soi (8/10): yellow curry base with rice noodles topped with tofu, pickled mustard, onions, and chili. I made this vegan by substituting the egg noodles for rice noodles and choosing tofu as the protein option. Although I had ordered fried tofu, she gave me soft which actually worked well since it absorbed the flavors of the curry. This is one of the most authentic tasting curries I have tried with a good mix of warm and spicy flavors. The pickled mustard adds an acidic touch to balance out the richness of the coconut milk. It is a perfect cozy dish for a rainy day. I would not recommend ordering it for takeout because the noodles may get clumpy.

WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! It is a hidden gem with great food

We pass by this place all the time but never noticed it. Super tiny restaurant hidden away in the middle of nowhere. It's right next to a few sketchy looking hotels so it's easily overlooked. No need to worry about street parking here ! There's a free lot right next door.

We ordered:
Cream cheese won ton
Penang curry
Chicken pad Thai
one Thai iced tea & one coke
Totaling $75

The portions were pretty small so not ideal for sharing. Only one server working so service was super slow. We did notice she served the other guests free wonton chips before they ordered but didn't bring our table any. Maybe they're for regular customers ? They don't have your typical pickled Thai chili condiments. Instead they have their house special sauces. The food was good but nothing special. I felt like we paid $75 for a meal that's really worth 40.

I absolutely LOVE this place. What gem in mid city. From the food to the service, the whole experience was top notch. The waiter was so much fun to talk to. She told us that they had a regular menu with all the typical Thai dishes and a secret menu with all the unique traditional Thai food. Naturally, me and my friend opted for the secret menu lol We got the grilled squid, Thai hot pot, and larb. Everything was just so good and full of flavor. I cannot wait to go back.

Looking through Thai food for this rainy day in LA...
As we are sick....

I thought some good Curry sounds delicious!!!
Well I am soo glad, Yelp recommend you!

Well food is delicious!!
The taste is on point and the option of Spicy Thai give it an amazing taste to all plates...
My only thing is the small rice... would have liked to have an option to pick how much do I want to buy.
Or maybe I missed the option... (but I swear I looked for it) anyway...
We recommend!!
Now I know a place that can deliver and is delicious!

The food was delicious and I was very impressed with the menu. We ordered the Thai style calamari, chicken Larb, fried fish, fried rice, and pad kee mow.

This place is super cute and I loved how the place is decorated with all the Thai movie posters, lovely ambiance to say the least.

Service was amazing! Definitely will be going back.

This place is a new local favorite! Sophia, the owner, treated us with such care and made incredible suggestions for our meal! Everything we had was so yummy but the green curry with fried pork was a standout! The crispy duck spring rolls and the crab fried rice were also amazing! So much flavor and they had their own red and green sauces that put the meal over the top! Bringing back more of my friends to try! :) Thanks Sophia!
