Darabar Secret Thai Cuisine
Experience Thai food, the most robust and flavorful of the Asian cuisines at Darabar Thai Cafe. We prepare our dishes using the finest ingredients and techniques to bring Authentic Thai cooking to Hollywood. On that day, I was really starving and craving thai foods. I've heard about this place from my friend so many times in a good ways so I decided to visit this place and I love it!

I ordered bunch of foods by waiter's recommend cause I'm not that familiar with thai foods and it was all awesome! The food was good. Chef, waitress, waiter are so so nice. The first time I came to LA, I'm not really like the Asian food in there until I came to this place. I had name of foods I ate that day.

The worst thai food ever. Dry, salty, and over-cooked. The server said the cook was new. Crying Tiger, beef larb, satay chicken were the items I tried. I didn't eat any papaya salad.
The server said he would discount our bill. Hmmmm... disappointed

I ordered from Darabar via Uber eats . It was expensive . It took 1 hour ( non peak hours).
They forgot 2 dishes that I ordered. The Phad Thai was flavorless and the carrots were so hard . The shrimp Wonton soup has absolutely no flavor. I would never order from this business again nor would I recommend it

Simple Thai at its best. We went there via Groupon. Usually my experience with Groupon is hit & miss. With this one, we were lucky. Food was very fresh and tasty. Typically what you expect from an eatery in Thai Town in LA. The server was very responsive and friendly.

Only concern is lack of parking and inside the restaurant smells funny. The smell was so strong that we decided to dine on patio. But that doesn't affected our dining experience.

Ordered through Uber Eats:

Mango Sticky Rice
Two Thai Teas - requested no ice.

I was excited to try this place because reviews claim it to be very authentic. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. :(
Needless to say, you can probably guess from my one star rating, there was ice in them. You may think this is a small thing but I prefer to use my own ice since many restaurants neglect their ice machine filter.

Also, the mango sticky rice arrived cold as a brick. I only live ten minutes away, and as soon as I opened the container of the mango sticky rice, there were no indications of it ever being

Absolutely terrible service. We called before hand for a party of 14 and after everyone ordered, we waited for 1 hour and then they come and tell us that two of the ramen dishes we ordered could not be served tonight. Are you kidding me? Two of our guests were not served food after an HOUR of waiting patiently. I would not recommend at all. Food was also subpar.

This place rocks. Delicious food - I pretty much always go for the chicken pad Thai, but I've had their yellow and green curry as well and loved it all. The best part about this place though? SOO cheap, large portions and open til 2am!! Talk about a bargain. Currently my favorite Thai place in LA.

Pad Thai tofu was practically flavorless and stuck together in a brick. I got takeout but I live 5 minutes away. I ordered it spicy and it had no spice at all. Sad ;(

Came here after reading some great reviews on yelp and was not disappointed. We came at 12:30am on a wednesday night and they had great live music, amazing food for great prices, and overall such a fun but also chill atmosphere. I really recommend coming here if you have a late night craving especially.

I tried to eat there tonight, and changed my mind because it had a B rating, and it looked dirty and unkept inside. I got grossed out and loss m appetite. It's unfortunate and ironic that even with covid in the ambiance some restaurants are far from a sanitize environment in LA.

If you vegan, try out this spot! They can customize your dish like they did with my Larb tofu! The tofu was fried so crispy I was in love!

Really solid late night eatery in Thai Town. We enjoyed the pork jerky, Pad Thai with chicken, and Thai fried rice. Service was friendly and the food came out in 15 minutes, which is reasonable for a busy place on a weekend night.

I'd like to dine in once the pandemic is over and try some of the more unusual dishes on the menu. Until then, I'll be stopping by regularly for takeout.

Found this bar running late into the night, I was craving some delicious Thai comfort food, and this one-man kitchen served wrapped delicious comfort food ready in time for my dinner. This place seems to be popular with folks winding down late at night or coming after a party.

The menu here fits simply with that familiar cooking of many Thai places, but everything here would probably taste better with a beer and exciting band playing live whenever it's safe to enjoy late-night outings.

The noodles here taste freshly cooked even after holding long in a take-out container, with Pad Thai

Always good. The food always is amazing. It's a little hidden gem. The music is really good to listen to, it sets the right mood. The prices for bottle and mixers are great.
