Absolutely awesome food! It certainly was an delicious. I came here for lunch one day, not knowing anything about the place. I’ve been over to Thailand many times, I am familiar with the food and I gotta say that this has some of the best Thai food outside of Thailand that I’ve tried. The boat noodles I got were excellent! Took me back to the food stall just down the way from my condo near Sukhumvit. Then the nam tok wow! So good I can’t praise it enough. Thoroughly enjoyed that dish and I plan to come back and bring friends very soon. The thai tea was also very good. Nothing better than normal thai tea but with the combination of excellent thai food, it hit just right. Had a very good interaction with the staff and then a man named Allen, maybe he’s the owner or something, I’m not sure but him and I chatted for a while and overall the place is very friendly, and they serve excellent food. Like I said before, I felt like I was back in Thailand. I won’t really be back there for a little over 4 months so finding this place will help me to overcome my cravings for good Thai food until then.

Such an amazing first time at Saap Coffee Shop! Peter, the owner, was so attentive and caring suggesting what dishes to order and sharing the history of the space. Our server Jai was so kind and helpful. We made some lovely friends eating the same dish as us too!

Wish I could remember the account I watched on Instagram about Anthony Bourdain’s travel into Thai Town Los Angeles. I knew I’d be in the area for a few days so I was excited to add Sapp Coffee House and their infamous boat noodles on my must try list. I’ve had a ton of Thai food in my life but boat noodles were never on my go to list. Instead, it would be the papaya salad, kao ka moo, laap/larb and even Sai Ua. I’m all for trying new food but I was a bit hesitant, yes, I have a Filipino background so one would think dinuguan which contains pig’s blood and the same secret ingredient in boat noodles actually the traditional version contains cow blood, nonetheless same same? I guess I expected a really sour taste but it was quite the opposite, it was savory, spicy with the most amazing aroma.

Sapp Coffee shop is on many people’s must eat places in LA! We knew we had to try it when we were visiting LA.

Down-to-earth Thai eatery focusing on comfort “single dish” staples. It’s becoming my new favorite spot to grab a simple lunch that puts a smile on my face and reminds me of home.

Tucked away with an authentic hole-in-the-wall ambiance, served incredibly delicious dishes. Service is on point.

Pro tip – Go for breakfast and beat the crowd! I dined at 8:30 am on a Sunday and found it to be one of the best Thai meals I’ve ever eaten. I spoke with one of the family members who owns the place, and he gave me the back story about why their name included “coffee shop” (it goes back to their origin of being located in a hotel lobby, and the hotel made them serve coffee in the morning). Very friendly and hospitable! The setting isn’t much to write home about. Very much a “joint” feel. That adds to the whole experience I think.

Cash only! The food here is amazing! It tasted exactly as if I was in Thailand. Ordered Hoi Joh, Jade Noodles, Beef boat noodles, and Thai iced tea. I’ve been looking for Hoi Joh everywhere and I was very happy seeing it on the menu here

Wanted to try Sapp’s in the summer but it was during a major heatwave and when we arrived they alerted us that several blocks just lost power and they’d have to close down. But their remorse over something out of their control and eagerness to invite us back made it easy to see why Sapp’s positive reputation was deserved. So when we returned recently to finally try their offerings, we were welcomed to some of super tasty Thai food. We had the boat noodles with beef, jade noodles, crab fried rice and Chinese broccoli with salted fish. Sure the decor and the space Sapp’s occupies isn’t the sexiest but it matters not because of the deliciousness they offer. Looking forward to trying more of the menu.

Don’t let the name fool you – this spot is a great thai restaurant. The thai tea here is strong and sweet and pairs nicely with anything spicy that you might get here. The beef in the noodle dishes is so tender and tasty and the drunken noodles are super flavorful. Love that they add a bit of white pepper to the top of the drunken noodles. Make sure you bring your vaccination card (or a photo) and hit up an ATM before coming here (they’re cash only). Food is well priced here too
