Thai Restaurants in Westchester, California

Westchester is a small, mostly residential, community just a few minutes south of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

Named for the famous boxing style, these chicken wings are marinated in Thai sauces and fried to perfection. Ayara Thai Cuisine makes a variety of Thai food from soups and noodles dishes to curry and special wok dishes. Its lunch combos, served Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., include an entree and a salad.
