I’d give this place 10 stars if given the option! We wanted to get authentic Thai food and our friend recommended this spot in Thai town. Def top 3 Thai food I have ever had!
It was a cozy down-to-earth environment and had plenty of walk-in seating. We ordered a thing of fried rice and hot pot and a pork sausage for appetizer. It was very much casual & street food style Thai food and delicious. Recommend their chrysanthemum tea - good for a hot summer day.
The staff were really friendly and professional. The only thing was that the air conditioning seemed to be broken and they had large fans on.

I had to go check out Thai town in LA and went to lacha for some Thai food. I tried the green curry and it was amazing. It made me want to eat the whole bowl of rice. I recommend coming here if you’re visiting after the Griffith observatory or taking a bus to Hollywood.
The food has a really good flavor. The spicy level was spot on. The only thing is I could see the floors are a bit dirty (degreaser would help) and the bathroom could definitely be cleaned properly… since it’s a restaurant. The bathroom soap was almost water. :(
I can’t believe they would use canned pineapples instead of fresh ones!!! The artificial overly sweet and sour taste of a canned pineapple was like getting punched in the face while the flavor of the basil, curry leaf, everything else in the dish is going in the completely opposite direction. There’s also an unbelievable amount of it compared to all other ingredients, making the entire thing quite unbearable. I would caution against ordering any dish with pineapple in it :( service was nice but I really just wanted good food sorry
Good authentic Thai food for a good price!
Love the flavor and ingredients of both the pad thai and papaya salad.
Staff is kind and food is served fast. A big menu with a lot of options. They also sell snacks and some dessert options.
Would visit again to try their other dish.

My favorite Thai restaurant in LA authentic thai food 100% love here Delicious as same in Thailand and great service. Highly recommended.
I like that Lacha has a warmer feel to the restaurant, mismatch cushion seats but it all pulls together really well. Not sure if it's family owned and run but it has that cozy feeling of service with care but not annoyingly noisy or trying to get a higher tip.
The food is really good, I usually order take out because of my schedule. This is one of the places that take out tastes and have the same quantity as if you are dining in. I had naked shrimp in Vegas and couldn't find a place that did it well until I ran across Lacha. Only caution the food is really spicy, so if you want medium order mild.
Like any place in Hollywood it's super difficult to find parking.

Amazing food and great service. Super authentic. Staff was friendly and did a good job recommending dishes. We eat Thai food a lot and this was top tier for sure. Worth the money! We got the fried larb, roasted duck red curry, and yam nam tord. We will be back!
