Sanamluang in Hollywood is as ghetto as it gets. Ya, it might be "hip" but it is definitely overrated. There are plenty of Thai restaurants just around the corner...(I mean, c'mon, it's Thai Town for godsake. For better food, a more authentic (and cleaner) ambience, and "The Green Room" (karaoke room), try Krua Thai in Van Nuys. It's only about 15 minutes away from Hollywood and well worth the trip.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Parking, Service
