    Get the fried banana and meat ball on a stick because they are amazing here. I haven't stop by this Thai Temple in years but it all changed today. I wanted to get some food for my fiancée to try so I came here with my sister and parents. They have more parking than before because the old gas station is gone and they took that space for parking spots. We came around 9am and most of the food places were open. I got the Mango with sticky rice, fried banana, meatball on a stick, Thai Tea, their green dessert and the banana leaves wrapped with sticky rice and banana inside. The prices did increase but it's inflation so it wasn't a surprise. I got charge extra when I asked for no ice on the Thai Tea so I was surprise about that.

    Gorgeous temple, and well known for its amazing market! Bring plenty of cash if you intend to enjoy the marketplace on weekends! You may as well try everything, it’s all so good

    We’re finally here!!! After 15+ years of wanting to come here, we finally made time to come to this amazing Thai Temple weekend FOOD COURT! If you’re looking for the best and most affordable Thai food in Los Angeles? Then you gotta come to Wat Thai Temple on the weekends for their delicious Thai food court! DELICIOUS and authentic !! I noticed a lot of ppl got take outs for their family at home! We came on a Sunday about 9:30 and got parking right away, the lot was half empty. I was told it gets packed at 11 am, so come before 10:30.

    OMG best authentic Thai/Chinese food can be found here. Only available during the weekend, most serving is about $5, Asian portion, not American portions mind you, so you get to try out different items. My cravings are papaya salad, especially on hot summer days, the fried potatoes balls, yams, and bananas are definitely a crowd pleaser, the batter they used is ahmazing! I believe they switch vendors every weekend, you can't go wrong with pad Thai, pad see ewe, and my favorite is the buffet style stall, it's not all you can eat, you can select 2 items with rice or alacarte for $5! Can't beat that, and oh so delicious, especially the pork in dark sauce. They really like it when you bring your own pyrex, Tupperware or containers. The only slight inconvenience is you have to swap cash for tokens to purchase food, it's like a mini fare every weekend, absolutely love it! We usually get the food to go and buy extra for lunch next day, we don't particularly enjoy the open/like karaoke with loud speakers, it's fun in the beginning but can get annoying after a while haha Parking can be also inconvenient if you arrive later in the day, it's usually within the temple but can spill out to the nearby residential neighborhood. Come early so you'll be in and out in a jiffy, or not!

    This review only for the food court. Great location. Free parking. Food court only open on the weekend. First , we need to get token to pay food. Vendors don’t carry any cash. Token: purple:$1, orange: $2. So many vendors to choose from. Sweet & savory. There are tables & benches & chairs for us to enjoy food there . Great outdoor space to walk around. Foods are inexpensive & tasty. Vendors are friendly & helpful.

    It has been years since visiting LA Thai temple, I wanted to check out food court. I bought fresh Fried dough and coconut cakes. Exchanged money for their plastic coins. It is not cheap but part of money will go to temple. I went around 8:30 am when they just opened, parking space was easy to find but space was very compact. I did not have a chance to try food. Vendors were friendly. There are tables for eating.

    very nice Thai style temple. looks very similar to the ones I saw in Chiang Mai (Thailand). they had several food tents but all of them have been closed, most probably because of covid. after covid I will come again as what I read the food is very good :)

    Wat Thai of Los Angeles is a wonderful thai buddhist temple in close proximity in LA. This place is very diversified and many cultural and ethnically people have visiting the temple.Especially they enjoyed various Thai food and drinks they offered very reasonable price on the premises.Not only that they offer live musical event on site you could enjoy Thai music while enjoy the foe If they try to keep the area clean and tight it would be fantastic experience.

    I like the food here, a lot (weekend only). Specially the grilled pork on a stick and the soups. Prices are hard to beat. 2 people can over eat here and have leftovers for lunch the next day for $40. Parking can be difficult, but you can go around the block and park on the street.

    We came here during a Thai holiday so apparently it was much more crowded than usual. So things like having trouble finding a seat or some of the restaurants running out of certain food items may be a non-issue other times of the year. All in all it’s a very cool experience. We did just fine with street parking and walking a little. We also really enjoyed looking at the beautiful temple and grounds. When it comes to the food - everything was very good. I would highly recommend the papaya salad it’s made to order and you can get a sweeter la spicier version to your liking. We were able to watch as they ground together the chilies and sugar and tossed it with the papaya and vinegar. The chicken satay was very good as well. Next time, we would like to get there earlier so we can try more foods. Lastly they do function on a token system but it’s very easy to get more and we barely had to wait in line - even as crowded as it was the day we went. So if you’re new out about having leftover tokens don’t be afraid to get a smaller exchange and just go back for more later on.

    Food here is the real deal! Real Thai food that without the outrageous restaurant price. The vendors are set up in the parking lot of the Wat Thai Temple in Noho. Its not crazy crowded and the workers and community keep the place so clean. After eating, you can walk around the place and view the statues and temple. Come for the food and stay for some culture!

    Freshly made to order foods & desserts. Yummy. Parking. Live music. Plenty covered seating. Restrooms available. Bring cash to exchange to chips & can trade back unused chips. Supports their temple. Good cause. Win. Win. Highly recommend.

    (This is a review of the weekend market, not the temple itself) Such a great way to begin a Saturday! There is lots of good food. I had an amazing bowl of tom yum noodles to start— it was hot, sour, and spicy, very flavorful. For dessert, some potato balls! They were fried so nicely. crunchy on the outside and lighter texture when you bite into it; slightly sweet too. Very reasonable prices and friendly vendors :) it’s fun to go with others and get a bunch of plates to share! Went around 12, and the parking lot was pretty full like some people mentioned, but I was directed to a spot immediately by the attendant. **bring cash**

    Came here with my friend for the food vendors that they have every week. This place is cash only and you have to exchange the cash for tokens, if you don’t use the tokens they give you cash back. Parking was a bit of a hassle. People were friendly, I came for dessert and enjoyed. It was 2 flavors of ice cream with sticky rice and a thin waffle for $10.

    Parking spots are so close to each other. Luckily there is a parking attendant helping folks reverse. First you change your dollars for tokens. You pay for your food with tokens. I saw one vendor selling beverages. Some food is good. Some food is mediocre. The prices are not cheap but also the portions are normal size; not too big, not too small. I understand we’re helping out a temple and I hope they get all the help they need. But, I much rather eat at an actual Thai restaurant. This place is cool to get out the house and to be outside with family and friends. There is a variety of food but still… I rather eat at a restaurant.

    First of all, let me just say that as far as Thai temples go, my experience is pretty limited. Having said that, I liked this temple, the property, the food, people, and everything this location has to offer. My wife (Thai) enjoyed our visit, so that was enough for me.

  • 5/5 Cel M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wide variety of foods and desserts and drinks. Love the Thai tea and BBQ sticks. Family enjoy all the variety of foods as well. Kids enjoyed the tokens for each store front eatery instead of cash. You will need to bring cash to exchange for tokens. Thai temple great sight to see.

    I really like the place. I sadly didn’t try any food as I had already eaten but everything looked delicious and the vibe of the place was awesome. Very friendly people and community got a chance to visit the temple and everyone was very friendly. Loved it overall.

    Where else are you able to try so many different thai dishes all in the same place. Everything is super affordable and extremely delicious.

    Absolutely loved spending the afternoon at the street food fair with friends over a Sunday afternoon. Brought my dog cos it’s also dog friendly and that was so nice. The food is just incredible and so well priced. Lots of vegan options you just have to ask them including the famous Thai coffee I love was served with almond milk. It’s a great thing to do as a couple, family, alone or a friend group. Energy is lovely here as expected. Remember to bring enough cash to buy the tokens!

    Amazing prices! Gorgeous temple with many beautiful cheap food but great quality. There are many seatings and even a friendly neighborhood black cat roams around! The bathrooms are very clean and renovated. Make sure you bring cash because you'll need to exchange them for tokens. I recommend the coconut cakes which are small, sweet (but not overwhelming), and has a little bit of a crunch. You should come here!
