I LOVE this place. My favorite dish is the spicy basil fried rice even though I'm a baby and usually get it mild, despite its name. Sometimes I feel like going for it and order it medium. It's fantastic either way. I love it with shrimp. The staff here are so kind and friendly. The interior is small, cute and casual. It's a mellow place to be with a friend or solo.
So far everything had been fire! Also ordered vegan dishes and so good so far! Everything has been great and service has been excellent
Unique food experience I think Spicy Sugar Thai has unique food options and some out-of-this-world fusion and exotic dishes. For example, they add cheese to Pad Thai. More surprisingly, there is a dish with real ant eggs that I wanted to try but it was $20 and my wimpy friends didn't want to try with me. So I ended up sticking to safe options because I cannot finish two meals when of them is an appetizer. Thai tom yum ramen 4/5. I like the toppings but I wish it wasn't ramen. I'm not a big fan of instant ramen. I think it is a lazy way to make a dish. Thai tofu panang curry 4/5. The sauce is super rich and creamy, too coconutty. I like it though but that whole meal just looks so stuffed. Vegan hot dog 1/5. The vegan hot dog tastes so vegan. The hot dog is veggie like, and the curry is the same curry they used on the tofu red curry. Overall it was a good experience. Parking was plenty on the lot that says motel lot and the street parking. I'd come again for the exotic food if someone goes with me.
We found Spicy Sugar on Instagram and decided to come by while we were in the area for a dinner date. They have really good reviews on Yelp so we had high expectations and we were pretty impressed with the quality of their food. The restaurant is located right next to a Motel, even sharing their bathroom with it, and has street parking available. The place is small but has indoor and outdoor dining areas but currently their restaurant sign isn't lit up so we at first thought they weren't open. Today we shared a few items: the pork skewers(delicious and smoky, the sauce was spicy!), the tom yum soup with shrimp(also very good), and the pad see ew(a little salty but still tasted good). The server was nice and gave us an appetizer of wonton chips with three dipping sauces, two being very spicy and one just sweet and sour. Everything was good and you could tell that they are very popular so going early for dinner is a good idea because of the small size of the restaurant. They also had a lot of togo/delivery orders including one that was late and seemed to cause a little friction with the server and the cook. Our meal with tip was about $75 but we have a favorite Thai restaurant in SGV that offers slightly better food and is about half the price. But Spicy Sugar is definitely up there with the top Thai flavors we've tried.
Cool little Thai place in the LA Melrose area. Very interesting decor, neo lights and ambiance. Was nice and quiet for our date. Got busy as soon as we came in but mostly to-go orders. Love a place where they ask you the spice level so you won't be surprise or not be able to eat the food if it's too spicy. Wanted to explore as it was well rated, it did not disappoint. The favor of the dishes and hot sources were flavorful. Will def come back and try more options next time.
Delicious Thai food!! We got takeout from here after going to a USC football game and it hit the spot. Generous portions, flavorful (but not too salty), and great pricing. It's a little challenging to find and can't speak to the restaurant ambiance, but our takeout experience was lit.
Absolutely Delicious Food. I came back twice to make sure it was consistent and consistent it was. They are always so busy when I come and frankly quite understaffed, but they still do extremely well. They serve free crackers with a side of spicy sauce. My favorite is the green chili one with 2 slices of lime squeezed on to it. They are very kind and check in with you as much as they could! It's a very small place and gets crowded super easily. So it might be a wait, but its totally worth while. Price wise: It's okay, not too pricey and not too cheap as well. Love it! Also, very accessible and plenty of street parking.
This Thai spot is located on busy La Brea, right next to a motel. It has a huge banner outside that says "Thai food" just in case you speed past it. All I can say is WOW! Chef Katt def knows what she's doing in the kitchen! All of the food was extremely delicious. Here is what my boyfriend and I ordered- Cashew Nutty Chicken- Ugh, amazing. This dish had the appropriate amount of seasoning. The chicken was so juicy and tender. Crispy Duck rolls- These are my absolute favorite! The duck was so crispy and flavorful omg. And the sauce that comes with it? Beautifully made! My mouth is watering while I'm typing this. Def recommend this dish! Papaya salad (Som Tum Thai salad)- This salad most certainly had a kick to it. It was fresh and crunchy. Taste buds had a party forsure. Pork Nam Tok- The pork was tender and scrumptious. We got this dish in "mild" and it was the perfect amount of heat. Again, def recommend this dish! All in all, I'm extremely happy that this spot opened up in my neighborhood. I hope Chef Katt continues to be successful. Please support small businesses :)
This place is close by. I cannot believe I haven't tried it before. This small restaurant is in the front of a hotel. It has a unique vibe, almost American diner but with Thai movie posters and artwork. We sat down and were given menus. I love menus with pictures and on this menu, everything looked good. We finally settled on Duck Larb, Green Curry Dumplings and Cashew chicken and Mango with Sticky Rice. All of it was delicious. Yet there was so many other things on the menu that I would love to go back and try. The service was fast and friendly. I cannot wait to go back!
