Editorial Review for Cholada – by Nicolas Rabinovitch

In Short
The blue wooden shack by Topanga Beach may look like nothing from the passing PCH cars, but inside is housed some of the freshest Thai food in Los Angeles. A clan of Thai chefs cooks up a storm of spicy hot goodness from the huge selection of curries to the specialty seafood dishes not found at average Thai restaurants. The inside has a serene view of the Pacific Ocean, while the back patio offers a relaxing outdoor escape in the lush landscape of a Malibu hillside.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Best thai food I've ever had in L.A. and a cool atmosphere if you're into the hole-in-the-wall, beach shack feel. By far the best pad thai, pad-see-ew, or curries you're going to find anywhere in L.A. If you want a kick try the spicy green pumpkin--Incredible, but really spicy. Pretty good service, but I've been a couple of times and been looked over or seated out of order. This is probably due to the restaurant being slighlty under-staffed, but as long as you're not too time crunched, it's no problem. The food makes it entirely worth it. If you want a true Thailand feel, ask to sit out in the back, especially if it's a nice night.

Pros: Every single dish here is a pro

The food is great you can't deny that but there is two servers there that are just spectacular. Their names are Sai and Sophia. They always make sure you have what you need and promptly. They are great and I eat their a lot just because they take such good care of you.

Pros: good service (Sai,Sophia) great food, ocean views

Cons: expensive, not a lot of parking
