Another Perfect Meal 6/11/2010

My first Thai experience. Back in 1982, Thai food was not known in the valley. It is a night I can't forget for two reasons: One, my dad told my brother that opening a coffee shop would never be profitable; and two, my first experience at Anajak Thai. Since we didn't know anything about Thai food, we let Ricky pick the menu. We were delighted. I don't remember what we ate in 1982, but I do remember that we loved the experience. Last night I took my wife back to Anajak Thai. I think that the main change is that Ricky and I both are middle age and it is probably too late for my brother to start that chain of coffee houses. The food was absolutely perfect. The smoothest and lightest curry that I have ever had. I beg you to give Anajak a try. Pros: Really Great Quality Food more

Only Thai We'll Eat. 3/7/2010

My family has been eating here for almost 10 years and won't eat at other Thai restaurants. As my husband said last week when we were there: ""this is probably the best food I've had"" (he's eaten at yummy places all over the world). We love the owners and they seem to know or get to know everyone that walks in the door (unless it's a busy Saturday night). Our favorites are the Shrimp Superb appetizer, tempura sushi, and any of the curry dishes. I'm drooling just thinking about it! Pros: delicious, great atmosphere, fabulous owners more

15 Years and Still Going 12/23/2008

I have eaten at Anajak for over 15 years. The food is consistantly good with several specialties I would highly recommend. Don't miss the Chan Ram, Pad Thai, Seafood Soup for Two, and The Chicken Curry (if you like spicey food). Also don't miss their Thai Iced Tea unless you are on a diet. The staff has always been excellent and with dinner for my wife and I under $30 (more if you have a glass of Plum Wine or Beer) Pros: Food Cons: Parking more

One of my favorite resturants period. Don't forget the chicken cups!!!! 11/28/2008

If you're looking for great Thai food in the valley, look no further than Anajak Thai in Sherman Oaks. I've been going to Anajak now for about two years, and every time I go, I am more than pleased with my dining experience. There is no other Thai food place at which I would rather eat. more

Favorite place to go... 11/28/2008

My husband and I moved here last year and immediately started looking for a good Thai restaurant. I googled the ones close to us and found one less than a mile away, Anajak Thai. The reveiews were spotless so we decided to check it out. It's a small place but you realize immediately that it is definitely a ""local secret."" Every time I go I get the amazing Pad Si Ew with chicken. I recommend anyone that goes to try this because of the amazing, thick, pan fried rice noodles. Get a side of ""Peanut plum sauce"" and dip the chicken in or pour it over the dish! So yummy. The servers are always very sweet and the place is very quiet with nice piano music playing. Definitely will miss this when we move soon! Pros: great pad si ew and pad thai, pretty piano music, nice servers, good atmosphere, great thai iced tea Cons: nothing! more

Not worth it! 10/29/2008

I wanted to try this place because it was nearby. I was hoping for excellent food. I ordered the fried rice, Anajek chicken and an appetizer (spring rolls) for $30 dollars. Unfortunately the rice was greasy, the 'Anajek chicken"" (which was highly recommended) was all dark meat and fatty and the appetizer was over fried. What a huge disappointment. It was like throwing money out the window. I've never written a review before, but felt the need to post about this place. Maybe the other entrees are good, but the three things I tried were terrible. Pros: Location Cons: The food more

Best Thai. Period. 2/21/2008

This is by far the best Thai food I've ever had (and I eat a LOT of Thai food!). My family and I go here once a week, always order the same things but the owner usually makes us one or two dishes of his creation. He is an amazing cook. My favorite is the Shrimp Supreme appetizer, any of the currys, and the phad thai. Pros: Service (the owners know at least 75% of the people that come into the restaurant), Food! Cons: Parking (hint: park across the street on Cedros-near Borders) more

It's just Ok.... 9/20/2007

The food isn't bad but I found the staff to be a bit unfriendly depending on the day. We like the vegetarian clear glass noodles so we order that for lunch a few times a month. They don't deliver, and parking is a drag. We've never actually gone into the restaurant because we can never find parking. Pros: The Vegetarian Class Noodles Cons: No Delivery and No Parking more

Meh, it was so-so 9/1/2007

The menu just wasn't very large and the entrees seemed to be bastardized Americanism of thai cuisine. Where's the pad lard nar...or the rama chicken? In all, i was pretty dissapointed as I was wanting this place to be very good...and in return it was just so-so. I'll keep looking for a better thai place and so should you. Pros: Nice atmosphere and was service was good. Cons: Food was so-so and lack of menu options. more

excellent thai 8/21/2007

Mini review really. I don't actually have any complaints. I am tempted to give it 5 stars, but I only reserve that for those ""still craving it 15 years later"" kinds of places, which are extremely rare and special. The Tom Khar sp? soup is the best I have had anywhere. I don't think you can go wrong here really. Great food, nice setting, prompt seating, attentive staff (relatively). Pros: Great food! Cons: none to speak of more

Great food, good prices, great staff, cozy atmosphere! 3/19/2007

I'm pretty harsh in my reviews normally, but this is one of my top picks. Pros: Great food, good service, good price Cons: Just a little noisy for my taste, chairs could be more comfortable. more

yuck 4/17/2006

Thai food is one of my favorite cuisines and I am not that hard to please but this was just not good. this is a review based on the Tom yum gai soup and the Pad Thai and only on pickup. The soup was filled with frozen vegetables and some were still frozen, hot on the outside and frozen in the middle. It lacked very little flavor. th pad thai was like nothing I have ever seen. The peanuts were chisled into carmelized Burned crumblesover noodles that tasted like a mouthful of sugar. It was inedible. The staff informed my boyfriend that they were going to charge him more than what the current menu stated after he had ordered. Maybe they were having an off night, but we will not return. Pros: location Cons: food, food, food more

Quick Service, Pad Thai Not So Flavorful 3/22/2006

I went there specifically to try the pad thai and to taste how it compared to others in the area. Truthfully, I liked my friend's dish of glass noodles with mushrooms, peas, carrots, egg & chicken better than my own pad thai. It was not very flavorful, but I liked the different touch of having the egg cover the noodles rather than little bits of egg mixed in. We left cash and the waitress never came back with our change. Hmm, didn't really like that she assumed that we had left her a large tip but it was fine. Saw an actor, that is always fun. Pros: quick senot as frvice, nice size portions Cons: ok wait staff, just semi-flavorful more

The Very Definition of Neighborhood Cafe 8/28/2005

Been eating here over 20 years;couldn't bear to leave the neighborhood because of it. Ambiance is family oriented, from the customers to the owner's children doing their homework at the corner table. Have spent time in Thailand, and find the food authentic. Some items on the menu are found on every Thai menu ( but they""re better here); others are unique. The staff is invariably friendly. The owner divides his time between the the stove and talking to customers, and his wife serves as maitresse d'. There are times when the place simply gets swamped; you simply have to remind yourself this is the price of fame. The fact over half of the diners seem to be regulars. Of all the restaurants on Ventura between Sepulveda and Van Nuys, few last longer than a two years; this one has been in the same location for almost 25 years. Pros: good food, friendly staff, graet prices Cons: too popular, maybe parking (I walk more

Worthwhile, but. . . 8/23/2003

The food was OK to good, but VERY spicy. I still do not have any sensation on my tounge. Also, try not to order the exact food that you want, since they will not bring this, and try to order something that you don't want in hopes that they will bring your desired food. There was no visiible papaya in the papaya salad, and the cocoanut ice cream was mostly pineapple. But the fish and curry were good. This is primarily a place to be careful if you are a vegetarian or do not eat meat, only fish. more

Good if you like Noodles 9/25/2002

I've tried a few different dishes here, but the noodles are the way to go. Some of the chicken dishes have been salty and the lettuce cups were too water logged. The pad thai, pad see yew, etc are best here. The place can get pretty loud too. more
