The Scene – A lovely, open arc of a room is gussied up with reddish wood and orchids. Glass walls overlook little planes sallying back and forth on the intimate airstrip just below. Couples on dates swoon as planes take off and land against the setting sun, while largers groups share the family-style portions. – – The Food – An eclectic, culinary tour of the Pacific Rim delivers tasty Asian tapas and savory entrees but what jumps out of the menu right away are the insects. Minimalist scorpion shrimp toast is beautiful yet bland; crunchy Taiwanese fried crickets are…

Seems people expect that at the price, the dishes should be exemplary of classic cuisines of the countries represented...they're not, so try not to let your taste buds be confused by your comparisons. The food is tasty, and the dishes are their interpretations of native favorites of many asian cuisines...if you must have authentic Thai, Korean, Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese, and Vietnamese
food, this might not get it...but once again, all the dishes are quite tasty, freshly prepared, and reasonably priced- if anything any longer is. The bar is great, the surroundings quite pleasing, and if you do want the best in Japanese and sushi, just head on upstairs to TheHump, the sister restaurant (with it's own flight deck). Monday nights the big band jazz is incredible, usually without charge, no less...and...you can even dance a bit, if there's room! Whosoever cannot find goodness here...amidst the runways, fresh air, open views of the city and mountains must stumble about eternally, always grumbling about something, alas...pity to them and joy to those who visit this remarkable LA restaurant. Oh yeah, and if a waiter sticks his sleeve in your food...let him have it! But seriously, the waiters are well trained and supervised...every person and restaurant has it's off-nights, but this place is mostly on. And did I mention parking? No valet and no shortage of proximal parking. One flight up, take the elevator or the stairs...
- Pros: Atmosphere, Monday Night Jazz Bands, Sports Bar, Food
- Cons: terrible location...joking, of course! Great spot & parking!

My girlfriend and I go to Typhoon all the time. Always great food, drinks and service. No place Is perfect all the time. The one time things weren't perfect we let they know. Not a big deal and they took care of the tab. Always look forward to going back.
