Pa-ord Noodle - Los Angeles

I recently dined at this Thai spot, and my experience was a mixed bag. The highlight of the noon was undoubtedly the delicious food, but unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. The younger servers were really nice but the one with glasses who took our take out orders, I think she was having a bad day. I’d love to leave five but still the food was really good.

Fast and easy service. Their noodle dishes are amazing. I highly recommend getting the drunken noodles.

A friend suggested an original Tom yum soup. It was not bad at all

Authentic flavors are the strong suit here. Reminiscent of more traditional Thai restaurants you can find bolder and more heat here. Patron's favorite is the Tum Yum Noodle. I haven't found this dish at many other establishments, and Pa Ord does an excellent job. It may be slightly sweeter than a street version, but the fragrant spicy broth is very satiating. An order may seem a bit thin with noodles, so do consider ordering extra noodles if you're really hungry. The Fish Cake slices are also very well made and pair well. A medium spice level is perfect for the season Thai food fan. Other regular favorites such as the Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles are also very good. Stir fry dishes seem to also be the tasty craft coming out of the kitchen. The only disappointment appears to be some of the quality of the proteins in the various dishes. Although with excellent spices and flavors, the proteins seem to be lesser cuts being tough and maybe overcooked a bit. Otherwise, Pad Ord can deliver some great well known Thai flavors that many other restaurants seem to be holding back on or subduing.

The food here is great, but you really have to double check them on your to-go orders! This is the 2nd time they’ve messed up my order. Last time they gave me chicken instead of pork, and this time they left out a whole side of rice!
