The outside of Siam Sunset, an institution within Los Angeles’s Thai community, is unassuming; it’s connected to an America’s Best Value Inn motel in the heart of Thai Town. Inside, though, is one of the city’s truest expressions of a Thai breakfast. Walking in here feels like stepping into a diner in Thailand — the televisions are blaring Thai news or dramas, Thai newspapers are scattered at every table, and an expansive menu of breakfast staples beckons.
A weekend breakfast that feels like a hug. The congee has a healing quality suited for hangovers or dreary mornings.
They run out of jok and pa tong ko, especially on weekend mornings, so come early.
