Bad service, the worst food EVER!!

by sukachai

Cholada is the worst i eat their one times and found that they are full of cockroaches in the kitchen. I saw this accidentally when i walk back behind the parking. The only thing i regret is that i could have seen this before i eatt the ffood, not after me and my gf had 2plates.

Service was ok, just except for the BAD BOYS that were in the kitchen walls.

I didn't know why health department didn't shut them down already.

Cholada= DIARRHEA, at least that what i get from their.

Great Thai Bungalow

Okay, so clearly the last poster had a bad experience. Either s/he caught Cholada folks on a bad day, or more likely, s/he loves to leave negative reviews. In either case, when I lived in Malibu, I would drive the ten miles or so just to get my lunch at Cholada. Always a good meal, with large portions and excellent (usually) service. And the price is right! Nothing extravagant, no exotic Thai cuisine, but if you want good, down-home Thai food, this is a great option!

• Pros: The Food
• Cons: None I can think of

My tastebuds are not happy!

by arambrazilian

my mother always said that if I don't have something good to say, then I should say nothing at all.... but if I listened to my mom, I would not be spending all this money at restaurants!

the thai fried rice was bland and smelled like wet dog....

the yellow curry (veggies) was ok.....

the spicy crispy salmon was disgusting - skin fest 2009 - and fatty little chunks that probably originated as frozen trader joe rejects... I can't stand low end salmon....

I believe in the notion that good thai food exists - however I have low grade, poor quality thai food more often than not, and Cholada is no exception...

• Pros: location near beach
• Cons: food quality, taste, parking

As close as you can get to the real thing...

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

Best service

by love2eatallthetime

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
