The Good

Soju cocktails, crying tiger beef, the best Tom Gha Kai I’ve ever had.

The cocktails weren’t big enough (which may have been a good thing).

The Bad

The Vibe

Hip Silverlake crowd that matches the hip Silverlake décor.

Notes

You might think this was just another tragically hip gourmet-Asian-mini-mall restaurant with the latest ingénue sitting next to you on the bench-style seats, swigging the latest Asian martini made with soju while noshing on a bevy of carefully assembled “Thai tapas,” but
don’t let this stop you from experiencing my new favorite Thai joint.  The drinks were oh-so-thirst quenching, not to mention lovely to look at.  The food was reminiscent of another wonderful Thai place, Tuk Tuk, on Pico.  No wonder they have the same owners.
