Thai Lai Restaurant - Hawthorne, California

My first time to Eat at Thai Lai.

Food tastes really good. Out of the 3 dishes I ordered, nothing is heavy on soy sauce, fish sauce or hoisin sauce. Everything is tasty without being too salty.

The baguette (Bahn Mi) is crispylicious! I love it!

The price is right and they are NOT assuming like other restaurants that "suggests" a minimum tip percentage. We should support businesses like this!

Bring cash cause it's a cash only restaurant. Ample parking beside the establishment! I will be a regular customer from now on.

I have driven by this place several times and it doesn’t look like much on the outside but I had a good feeling about it.
As soon as, we walked in the Aroma of the kitchen was Amazing!! Plenty of “pick up orders” on the countertop! Menu had lots of options. Pho and spring rolls +peanut sauce and flavors did not fail super yummy!
Customers were eating happily just like us. Service was great and attentive. Returning soon !

It’s a small restaurant but good quality. The food is delicious & has right Vietnamese taste. For you guys who like soupy food, you should try mì Quảng or different types of bún, not just Phở. My bf is a big fan of bánh mì (Vietnamese baguette). He said this restaurant would be in his top 3 Viet bánh mì.
The price here is so affordable. You’ll be surprised like “What In LA, with this price, are you kidding me?”. But dont forget to take cash with you. They’re good old fashioned Viet restaurant you should try.

This is the most amazing Vietnamese restaurant in all of Los Angeles! If you love, good Vietnamese food such as pho, ban Minh, noodle 🍜 dishes this place is the best! I eat here regularly at least two or three times a week. I love the family that owns it. They are so cordial so kind and so accommodating very attentive. Come and try it.

I moved away and I come here every time I’m in LA because it’s the best Vietnamese food! Always perfect. I love the mi hoanh Thanh and banh uout Dac biet but they have tons of amazing options

It's a small Vietnamese/Chinese restaurant that I visit in the last at least 15 years. It's on the way to my work so I stop by often. They have a full menu of a variety of noodle and rice dishes but my favorite is alway the seafood noodle 'dry style ', broth served separate. I recommend this restaurant to all my co workers and friends! And the price is very reasonable which is a plus!😃 this is dry style shrimps & bbq pork that I always order! Delish!😊❤️

Very busy restaurants that have variety of vietnamese dishes. Im having "Bánh Khọt, and Bún Bò Huế" and I really enjoy it. Love to try other dishes when I come back in town.. Owner and server are really friendly.
