Love this place. Love Tina. Love the grub. Real Thai food and very reasonable. Not a sexy date place by any means– plus you may be crushed my Manny and his entourage or the rest of the Wild Card posse. But people eat there because it’s yummy. Go and support this little hole in the wall.

I really wanted this place to be good. Sadly, I was fooled by the positive reviews and I hate when that happens. The people that run this place are nice. But, the yellow curry I ordered was overpowered by the flavor of MSG. It tasted like a ramen packet. The pad thai wasn’t much better –slightly less MSG taste –but not delicious. The food was slightly more expensive than my usual Thai restaurant in Thai Town, which is Thai Patio. I wish I had gone to Thai Patio, saved a couple bucks, gotten more food, and enjoyed it. Live and learn I guess.

Thai food in US is not that special, I mean it’s good but with little Thai style. Ordered Pad Se Ew, again it’s so good except for the broccoli but I can get the same along the street back in my home. Very friendly service and clean tables

This is my favorite local neighborhood Thai food restaurant. Quality of ingredients is excellent and the cooking is first rate. The food is always excellent and the prices are terrific. It fits the bill of great food, great prices, and works for any budget. If Manny Pacquiao is in town, the joint is PACKED! I think they are his official fan club in LA. They also deliver which in LA makes them AWESOME. Nat and Tina do a wonderful job and out of town guests frequently MAKE me take them there. It is the classic«hole-in-the-wall» restaurant that’s worth every penny.

Ha I came here last night & the food was wonderful. I ordered the red curry w/veggies & it was amazing & they gave me enough curry & rice for multiple ppl. HOWEVER…the curry was scalding hot & I burnt the roof of my mouth & my esophagus so bad that I got a giant blister & can only eat soft food today. I blame this on more my own lack of judgement than the restaurant but beware I guess???

If you’re looking for some good quality and affordable Thai food, Nat’s is exactly that. And if you’re going to go anytime of the day, go for the lunch specials, they’re around $ 6.50 and one of the best deals in town(especially the Green Curry). The chef Tina is awesome and super friendly, and sweet. Oh, and if you want to get a glimpse of the people’s champ, come after he trains(you’ll usually see the line of folks waiting for him). Rumor has it that he helps in the kitchen too!

So my favorite spot was closed and I really wanted Thai. Someone told me that the line was out the door. Knowing that I thought the food would be great. Unfortunately my visit was the worst. Waiter came after 15 mins. Food came in a foam plate/bowl. Food wasn’t even all that. Sticking to what I know and like.

I honestly thought this place is okay. Personally it feels like the owners are not really trying on both service and food. I have to call the waiter over because he was on his tablet. The odd thing about this place is I got my food on a foam plate. I asked the one of the people who work there about Manny and just tells me, «yeah, yeah he came here.» So no fun fact or interesting story about him.

Hey this place is really good! The service is fast and friendly, the food is tasty and the atmosphere/décor is unique. If you like boxing and thai food then this is your joint. We had the pad thai, spring rolls, salmon kung pao, chicken w/garlic, and some sort of salad with mango. All good except the salmon had a lot of bones so one star off for that. Otherwise, a very tasty meal with friends in a cool little and very reasonably priced hole in the wall Thai joint. Highly recommend…

Love this place! Their Thai iced tea is a must. Whenever my boyfriend and I stay in Hollywood, we always go here to get to go Thai iced tea — more the reason to celebrate Manny Pacquiao! Very friendly staff!

The only reason they get two stars is because the waitress is very friendly. This is probably the worst Thai food I’ve ever eaten. Usually hole in the wall places are really good, my boyfriend and I came in here because of the other good reviews but the food was SOBAD. The orange chicken my boyfriend ordered made him sick. I got pad see ew and it had Zero flavor. Just dry wide rice noodles. Won’t be returning.

Nat’s is all that. It’s a hole-in-the-wall in essence and cuisine but in atmosphere it is a shrine dedicated to Manny Pacquiao. The Pacman really loves this place too. Literally every wall is covered with MP’s photo or something related to next door neighbor Wild Card Boxing Gym and Freddie Roach. But this place makes awesome lunch specials which is perfect for the up and coming contender to fuel up without having to break the bank. Lunch specials run from 11:30−3pm and they are only $ 6.50! I had the 3. Cashew Nut w/(brown rice substitute .50) and it was really good. They used peanuts accidentally but immediately recognized it and brought out a bowl of cashews for me. Really great service to do that. Thai iced tea small size $ 2 but this felt like a super-sized drink. It was really good as well. I can see this becoming a new favorite lunch spot and the boxers you dine with are cool dudes and they aren’t the only ones packing a punch. The lunch specials are a knockout for sure!

We came at the right time to eat here because as soon as we finished, we saw Manny Pacquiao drive in with his Mercedes to train at Wild Card Boxing! I’d definitely come back for their lunch specials. The meat and rice/noodle portion was perfect! Other Thai places would hardly give you enough rice to balance the curry or too much noodles with chicken. Although, the place is small, it’s a intimate eating spot for Pacquaio fans!

After moving all day all I wanted was some delicious thai, vino, and a good movie. This Nats Thai definitely came through with the delicious thai! Of course I ordered togo, which only took 10 minutes, and I’m not going to lie that made me a little nervous. I arrived in 15 minutes, food was ready and the staff was very nice. To say the least I was pleasantly surprised to see hot fresh delicious thai! P. S. Enough for two meals and only cost $ 9.80 with tax!

It’s really hard to find because all the signs in this strip mall are the same color and font. You have to walk down the aisle of businesses before seeing the name of the restaurant. Once you get past the initial frustration of finding some grub you are then greeted by one of the hosts who will tell you to sit wherever there is room. It’s hard not to notice that Manny Pacquiao has been there more than once and that they’re a huge supporter of this athlete. Heck, there’re signed pictures all over the walls and underneath the TV there’s a sign saying, «TEAMPACQUIAO». Service was great and the food was well portioned. Check out the lunch specials and when you get the rice notice how cool they present it on your plate.

Great food. First time eating Thai food in Hollywood. This is the place to eat. Parking not good. But totally worth stopping in. Get Thai

We came to this area to check out Wild Card gym where Manny Pacquiao trains sometimes. We were too shy to go in, though. I saw Nat’s Thai food restaurant when we drove into the plaza. I wanted to eat here so badly! I heard that Manny always eats here. We walked into the restaurant, and we were greeted by a very nice lady. The walls of this tiny restaurant were decorated with tons of pictures of Manny, Freddie Roach, and other boxers! The lady encouraged us to go inside the Wild Card gym. She said they would let us look around. She convinced us so off we went to the gym. I was so looking forward to eating here after visiting Wild Card. Unfortunately, we did not! :( My in-laws said it was too hot inside!!! They did not want to eat in the heat! Yeah, it was over 80 degrees in January in Los Angeles. Sure doesn’t feel like winter. Still, I was shocked they did not want to eat here because there was no A/C! My in-law’s were visiting from the Philippines where it is so much hotter! Anyways, it just means that I will be back to try Nat’s Thai Food. I can’t wait! Update to follow in the hope not too distant future.

Food was fine but service was slow(they said 20 – 30 minutes, it took about 40). Myself and two others ordered lunch specials but no one got egg rolls with the order. I went for pickup but the restaurant was small and a bit cramped. There is a parking lot, always a plus in hollywood.

Came in here cause i heard it’s Pacquiao’s favorite. And now i could see why. Authentically delicious. Great value for money especially the $ 6 lunch specials. Champion wings are splendid with the thai iced tea. Will definitely come back here.
