"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."
"The most iconic dish at Siam Sunset is pork jok, or congee. The comforting porridge boasts bouncy pork meatballs (otherwise known as moo deng) and shreds of fresh ginger finished with a dusting of white pepper. Add a soft boiled egg and order a side of pa tong ko, or fried Chinese crullers, which can be dunked into the porridge or swirled with accompanying condensed milk."
Siam Sunset sits attached to an America's Best Value Inn in the heart of Thai Town and offers an authentic Thai breakfast atmosphere with Thai television, newspapers, and a broad morning menu. The most iconic offering is pork jok, a comforting congee with bouncy pork meatballs, shredded ginger, white pepper, and optional soft-boiled egg plus pa tong ko for dunking or dipping in condensed milk. Fried chive cakes are crispy rice paper parcels with a garlicky stir-fried chive interior bound by sweet soy. Guay jub features rolled noodles, five-spice pork broth, and a medley of crispy pork belly and offal brightened by chile vinegar. Jok and pa tong ko often sell out on weekend mornings, so arrive early.
