Today, we’re taking you on a delicious journey through LAX-C, the Thai Costco in downtown Los Angeles.
This bustling market offers a unique blend of authentic Thai ingredients, street food, and even a few unexpected items.
LAX-C – Thai Costco ToC
LAX-C Indoor Food Shop
We began our adventure by exploring the food stand inside the warehouse, where you can find a mouthwatering selection of dishes, from spicy catfish to fried chicken with curry rice.
One thing to note is that the food is served at varying temperatures, so if you’re particular about eating your meal hot, you might want to plan accordingly.
Overall, the flavors were delightful and captured the essence of traditional Thai cuisine.
Next, we sampled some of the pre-packaged items like chive dumplings and bamboo-filled rice rolls.
While they would have been better if warmed up, they were still full of flavor and made for a great addition to our meal.
The Star of the LAX-C Outdoor Food Stalls
The real star of our LAX-C food adventure, however, was the coconut cream custard cake.
Fragrant, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness, this dessert left us craving more.
It’s honestly worth visiting here just for these coconut cakes.
You can also grab some of the skewers as well. We got 3 different ones, beef, chicken and sausage. All were great. They were hot, quick and satisfying.
Inside The Thai Costco
As we continued exploring the market, we were surprised to find not only a wide variety of Thai products but also Korean and other Asian items.
With prices that rival Costco’s and no membership required, LAX-C is truly a one-stop-shop for all your culinary needs.
From fresh produce to meats and even household items like luggages and trash cans, this Thai Costco has it all.
Our trip wouldn’t be complete without a tour of the instant noodle aisle, where we discovered an impressive selection of Thai and other Asian noodles.
We even found an enormous one-gallon container of chili oil, a must-have for spicy food lovers.
In conclusion, our adventure at LAX-C in downtown Los Angeles was a delightful experience full of authentic flavors, surprises, and incredible deals.
If you’re a fan of Thai cuisine or simply love exploring unique food markets, LAX-C is a must-visit destination.
We’ll definitely be back for more!
