Ruen Pair: Recommended by: Jon Shook (Co-Chef/Co-Owner, Son of a Gun)

This cash only, homey Thai restaurant delivers delicious authentic Thai cuisine for a low price. Open till 3am, this is frequent late-night spot for many young Angelenos, but also attracts a wide range of devotees. The service is quick and the food is served promptly, which is perfect since during peak hours there’s usually a wait.
