Palms Thai is a longtime Hollywood institution famous for its extensive menu and extreme spice level option dubbed 'Eat like you don't want to live,' which requires signing a waiver. Popular highlights include the fiery red curry, khao soi served with soft shell crab, crab meat yellow curry, and papaya salad with raw blue crab.

Commenters were captivated by the appetizing appearance of the dishes and the extreme heat levels offered. While some shared alternative restaurant recommendations, at least one viewer expressed caution about consuming the raw blue crab.

  • Order the khao soi topped with soft shell crab or the yellow curry loaded with crab meat
  • Sign the waiver if you dare to tackle the 'Eat like you don't want to live' spice tier
  • Exercise personal discretion when deciding whether to order the raw blue crab papaya salad
  • Sample the fiery red curry if you crave authentic, high-level heat
