Luv2eat – Hollywood

After visiting another restaurant in this strip mall, we wanted to come back and try Luv2Eat. We arrived just after 5pm midweek and the place was fairly full, but there was a table for us. A few more folks showed up and the place was full and folks started going onto the waitlist. Service is fast, menus and water dropped off. When we were ready to order, someone was right there. As busy as they get, service is great and friendly. Water was refilled constantly. The place is kind of small, and seats are close, but it is still comfortable and not too loud. We got the Papaya Salad with Shrimp, as well as the Pad Kapi with chicken as well as some rice. It was plenty of food and we brought some home afterwards. The food came out pretty quickly. Very fresh, hot and even with a medium spice level, had a nice kick of spice. Not too hot, but you know you have had something with some spice. The salad was very flavorful and everything that was cooked was cooked just right. Good dressing, freshly cooked shrimps, the salad was a winner. The Pad Kapi was really good as well. Not dry, over cooked chicken. It was juicy and full of flavor. The seasoning was spot on. Good bite of heat but not overpowering. The rice was good as well. Not a lot to say about rice unless it is messed up, this was cooked just right. It gets a bit loud, being such a small shop, but everyone was smiling and having a good time. This is definitely a have to go back and try everything type of place.
