Bhan Kanom

Located in the same strip mall as Ruen Pair and Pa Ord, this Thai sweet shop and mini-mart is one of the most reliable places in the city for kanom krok (sweet coconut cakes), mango sticky rice and other hard-to-find Thai sweets you’re not likely to find outside of North Hollywood’s Wat Thai on the weekends or Chinatown’s LAX-C. We’re partial, however, to the boxes of khanom bueang—delicately folded crepes that come stuffed with cream and topped with shredded coconut. Just note that Bhan Khanom often sells out early, so arrive before 8pm if you’d like to maximize your sweet selection.
