"What a hidden gem and pleasant surprise. The name som tum kinda scared me away since i am not a huge fan of it. But by chance parking was an issue at Sapp down the street (surprise right? and we decided to try this place . Whao, so glad we did. We had the Lacha noodle in soup, the noodle (yellow egg was the best I ever had in LA, from Thai to Chinese restaurant, it's the perfect Al dente soft yet still chewy. The prawn was also really fresh (in restaurant with slower traffic , I pretty much ingredient won't be the freshest, but it is . We also have the pad Thai crab omelette, the pad Thai was just right not too sweet. Also have the fried banana (which is great with ice cream . Overall, I hope this place survives, foot traffic seems pretty slow , parking is not the best , just as most of Thai town. Definitely coming down"
