Food Scene

If you like spice and Thai street food, come here. One of my favorites. If you eat on the earlier side, getting in won't be as bad, but expect to wait an hour or so if you come during peak dinner time. Put your name and phone number on the list and go get a drink closeby. The crispy rice salad and startled pig are favorites.

Favorite brunch spot. Also gets a bit of a wait, but so worth it. Very thoughtful flavor combinations and one of the most beloved spots in LA (rightly so). Faves: Crispy rice bowl with the works and ricotta toast with jam.
