I ordered from a place called Authentic Thai (www.authenticthaila.com) the other day. It's pretty good, considering it's delivery. Ordered Pad Kee Mao with pork, Pad Thai with chicken combo special, and Spicy Fried Rice with chicken. We actually asked for one of those with beef, but they screwed it up. Good-sized portions (2 guys in their 20s ate 2 meals each and were stuffed), ok price (2 a la carte, 1 combo, 1 thai iced tea, delivery for $25 inc. tip), and decent food. I'll probably order again after I've tried the other thai spots around Chinatown.
Anyone been to that one on the corner of Cesar Chavez and Broadway?

Maybe it's just me, but when I'm living in Chinatown, I don't really need delivery from Chinatown. On a rare occasion when I'm not sick of all the odors, food and other, from my neighbors' apartments, I'll walk around to grab something. Of course, half the time I end up at Spring Street Smoke House eating pulled pork.

Okay, so far nothing but as a side question, what is up with the L.A. Pizza Company on Figueroa just before the 110 entrance? They have been under construction for months now, look like they are ready but never open!! THEY probably will deliver, although we can already get pizza from Buona.

re: PlanDan
Hmm...I guess I never thought of Pizza Buona. Don't know much about the LA Pizza Company though. Which 110 entrance? I'll take a look the next time I drive by.
i get these pizza hut coupon circulars so i assume i could order from there...but *sigh* i feel so let down. doesn't look like any one of us could really answer your question with some good chow. pizza buona is just sorta "a'ight" IMHO.

as a fellow chinatown rat (or is it hound?) i concur with the lack of delivery options. i think "good taste" (now "jade wok," depending on whether you read the sign in the window or above the shop) delivers, but really, that place is craptastic. most chinatown food is pretty horrible - i hardly ever eat the stuff, so i sure as heck don't want it delivered to my door!

re: rameniac
rameniac...agreed. that's why when i don't want to cook...i just go to my old reliable of eating at pho 87, on the northern edge of chinatown. never a wait with okay food at great prices (not there for the ambiance though).
i'll give extra chowhound brownie points to anyone who can successfully answer the challenge posed by this thread.

re: ctowngal
lol yea 87 is like eating in someone's dingy living room. the place with the chiu chow beef and fish ball noodles at the other end of broadway (i can't even think of the name at the moment, but it's in the same mall as pho 79/97) was surprisingly ok the last time i went there. ask for the "skinny rice noodles" if you want a pho-style noodle soup with some non-pho fixins'.
hoan kiem in the same mall is also supposed to be pretty good for chicken pho but i've never seen the place open. what sort of restaurant CLOSES at 6pm ><...

Try Domino's Pizza (213)413-8444, and Capperi in Little Tokyo (213)613-1003. Koo Koo Roo Chicken Restaurant says they deliver. Call the one on Grand Ave. and ask them. For other Pizza delivery, there's the famous Damiano's on Fairfax. Their pizza is good, but rectangular shaped instead of round. Because of their location, It takes awhile to deliver here in Chinatown, though. Damiano's Italian dessert called Cannoli is VERY delicious. I think everybody should try a Cannoli if they get a chance, it's that good.
Regent China Inn and Hoy King also deliver in Chinatown.

Actually, I like the hot n sour soup from Good Taste. Then again, I've never met a hot n sour I didn't like. My friends and I used to go here for a super cheap lunch, but the food was always average. I definitely like it better than those Rice Garden places though.
