Cholada is a very special place at the bottom of Topanga canyon on PCH in Malibu. They have all the staples of traditional thai fare but the freshness of their ingredients really stands out and they also have some unique dishes that are lighter than typical thai. I love their special scallops and their cashew chicken and of course pad thai. The Tum Yum soup is also amazing and light. It is a little restaurant with seating for no more than 25. It is rather rustic, but I think it has character. During the day you can see the ocean and they are always busy with locals in the evening. It is as inexpensive as you can get for dining in Malibu!
Pros: food, unique setting
