I love Thai food and Tom Yum is my jam so I basically have quite a bit of Thai places in my speed dial BUT delivery and service fees are real, so I had to branch out and it led me to Hollywood Noodle. Hollywood Noodle is on Yelp delivery (through Grubhub) and there was no delivery fee with a minimum order of $15. What. A. Blessing.
Anyway, I was craving Thai one day so we decided to order delivery. We got a small chicken Tom Yum, a combination fried rice, and pad see ew. It came out to about $30 after tax, so their prices are on par with other Thai places.
The tom yum was so good, but I'm not a good judge because tom yum is my pizza. Bad tomyum is still good tomyum. It's definitely not my fave, though. The pad see was good too, as well as the fried rice, but the fried rice didn't have a lot of toppings.
Overall, good place if you need a Thai fix. Tip: if you like the Thai chili sauce, be sure to ask for it. Our order didn't come with any and I felt a bit sad. -

My family and I tried this place three years ago. Delicious!!! I realized my original post was in draft mode so I am starting from scratch.
I have been back many times and AMAZING!
Curry- A must try. Very good and tasty.
Drunken noodles - Fantastic and plentiful.
Steak salad - Amazing and plentiful.
Fried rice- Delicious and all meats are an added plus.
Service is amazing. Everyone is great.
Please try this place if you want authentic food. -

This spot is a hidden gem that my little sisters showed me. Honestly we have came here multiple times and every time it does not disappoint. There's plenty of parking on the street in front of the restaurant as well as the back lot. One thing to be cautious is that they do charge gratuity if your party size is larger than five people. Don't forget to Yelp check-in, they used to give a free thai tea drink, now it might some eggrolls? Definitely take a look at Yelp when you are here to see if they have any cool tasty free items!
Usually when we come here, we order family style, since our party ranges from 4-10 people, depending on the occasions. The Green Curry is amazing considering I am not a big fan of curry, but that one has bamboo shoots which I love and its subtle enough. You have to order the Pork Larb, it's one of my personal favorites at Hollywood Noodle. You can request for your spicy level, I usually do mild since I can't handle too much spice. The Paid Thai and Pad See Eww are two staples when you go to a thai restaurant and those were quite tasty as well. My sisters always order the Boat Noodle and the broth is well seasoned with a burst of flavor when you take a sip of it with your noodles. The service is a hit or a miss though, sometimes they will be quick and other times not so quick. I still recall one time they forgot our order and we were counting and wondering if we ordered one less or if they forgot the order (it's hard to keep track when you order too many dishes) turns out they forgot the order. They were very accommodating about it though when we asked.
Overall, great hole in the wall and now I am craving for some thai food. Honestly, this restaurant gives me that comfort feeling when it comes to thai food but its not too pricy and the portions are sizable. I will keep coming back here for sure. If you are in the area and craving thai, you can't go wrong with this spot. They also started added Japanese selection to their menu, because the owner's husband is Japanese, talk about a Japanese Thai fusion of tastiness! -

Great homey feel of this place and friendly service... but sadly there are also some negatives.
I came with my girlfriend and we ordered the mild hollywood noodle with pork, beef pad see ewe, fried wontons and crispy pork fried rice, along with a thai tea.
The Hollywood Noodle was nothing special considering it was one of their signature dishes. Didn't get what i expected but i wasn't too disappointed.
Beef Pad See Ewe didn't stand out to us at all. We also found a hair in our food and the lady took it off the bill and replaced the food. The the beef was most definitely over cooked and quite dry.
Fried Wontons weren't bad, crunchy to say the least. But sadly it lacked in the filling and it was just like eating a chip. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing, it just wasn't what i personally expected. Still good though.
Crispy Pork Fried Rice was pretty much the redemption of the meal...besides the crunchy pork. The fried rice itself was excellently seasoned and cooked perfectly. The fried pork, on the other hand, was so overcooked that it felt like i was eating tree bark. Definitely would order this fried rice without the crispy pork.
Thai tea was, once again, average. For a thai place i'd expect that a thai tea would be a little more special than sugar water. But considering we used a free drink coupon, not bad considering the fact we didn't have to pay.
Overall i have to say i was disappointed in the food. Simply nothing special or stand out to me in a city with such great Thai food. Friendly/fast service and homey space, but i'd rather go to Banana Bay or Spices Thai for the price that we paid here. -

A decent place with cute decor, friendly service, and an extensive menu. The curry was a bit too sweet for my tastes but was filling and had a lot of tofu. Judging from the menu, I'd guess that the food isn't super authentic as it does cater to a more american-ized palate (lots of sweet/savory options and of course, fried rice with peanuts) but it's affordable and flavorful. I have yet to try their tom yum and other thai items and I'm sure it's tasty!
