Thai Lai - Hawthorne

Wow! My wife and I had the best lunch here, really a hidden jewel, will come back

Really good. Family owned. Nice team. I'll go to breakfast or if I can. Always good delicious noodle soup dishes and many other authentic flavors and more... just go and enjoy. That's so good! Pork broth large noodle bowl #13 on the menu roast duck egg noodle excellent pho ga chicken with bone is excellent and diving sauce ginger with fish sauce 7.1.22 noodle dry with roast duck so good!

I love this place. I've been here since the 90s. The staff is very friendly. The food quality has not changed during my first visit here and still tasty. Consistency is definitely at Thai Lai.

Amazing family restaurant. This place is the real deal. Authentic as they come. You could order everything and it would be delicious. I love the Vietnamese pancake with bean sprouts and all soups.

On our way home from LAX, the traffic was horrific, so we decided to stop in nearby to eat and hope that traffic dies down. We found this on Yelp, I had my parent's with me and we all had a taste for different dishes from different regions of Vietnam. Not often do we find a place that had everything we wanted to eat! We started off with savory pork and shrimp crepes, banh xeo. It was nice and hot right out of the oil. We loved how crispy it was with a hint of coconut milk in the batter. A lot of places tends to use the fatty pork pieces, but we liked that the pieces we got were leaner pieces. My dad's a huge fan of mi quang, so we got the a-ok nod from him. Mom loved her seafood egg noodles dry with broth and sauce on the side. She said the sauce was very good. Again, got the a-okay from mom. One of my favorite things in the world to eat is bun bo hue. It was fine, but needed more lemongrass, spicy oil. It wasn't a bit spicy, but overall still good. Now we have a place to go wait out the traffic!
