Pa-Ord

This is strip mall dining at its finest. Pa-Ord is a Hollywood staple, with two locations on Sunset Boulevard for maximum noodle-slurping pleasure. Serious Thai food lovers navigate their way through pork blood-infused bowls of boat noodles, Pa-Ord's signature dish, which centers around a dark, fragrant broth brimming with tripe, fish balls and a few leaves of bok choi. Less adventurous diners may opt for papaya salad with fermented crab, or the popular crispy pork and Chinese broccoli.
