15 Years and Still Going

by GaryLerch

I have eaten at Anajak for over 15 years. The food is consistantly good with several specialties I would highly recommend. Don't miss the Chan Ram, Pad Thai, Seafood Soup for Two, and The Chicken Curry (if you like spicey food). Also don't miss their Thai Iced Tea unless you are on a diet. The staff has always been excellent and with dinner for my wife and I under $30 (more if you have a glass of Plum Wine or Beer)

you can't go wrong.

• Pros: Food
• Cons: Parking

One of my favorite resturants period. Don't forget the chicken cups!!!!

by Brad23

If you're looking for great Thai food in the valley, look no further than Anajak Thai in Sherman Oaks. I've been going to Anajak now for about two years, and every time I go, I am more than pleased with my dining experience. There is no other Thai food place at which I would rather eat.

One of the signature dishes at Anajak is their Kratong Tong appetizers. Or, as I always call them, chicken cups. Kratong Tong are small pastry cups filled with minced chicken and vegetables along with a sweet peanut sauce. There are eight to an order and they also come with a plum sauce on the side, but I like to throw some spicy chili garlic sauce on them too. The first thing I do every time I go to Anajak is order a beer along with an order of chicken cups.

The entrees are delicious as well. Usually I order the spicy green curry with chicken and roti. Roti is a pastry roll almost like a crepe over which you pour the curry and chicken. The curry is spicy, with a touch of mint flavor, but still mild enough for the timid. My other favorite is the Massaman curry, which is a brown curry with potatoes and roasted peanuts. It's especially delicious with beef served over steamed rice.

The atmosphere at Anajak is nice and cozy. Chef Ricky and his wife seem to know everyone who walks in, as they personally greet them. Anyone there for the first time is made to feel very much at home. Whenever I am done with my meal, Chef Ricky always finds the time to come out and say goodbye and wish me well, as he does with all of his regular customers. Anajak is a pleasant place for bringing a date or the whole family.

Overall, Anajak Thai is not only my favorite Thai food restaurant but one of my favorite restaurants, period. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes Thai food. Trust me on this, once you taste the chicken cups you'll be a regular at Anajak just like me.

Favorite place to go...

by LAtoSF

My husband and I moved here last year and immediately started looking for a good Thai restaurant. I googled the ones close to us and found one less than a mile away, Anajak Thai. The reveiews were spotless so we decided to check it out. It's a small place but you realize immediately that it is definitely a "local secret." Every time I go I get the amazing Pad Si Ew with chicken. I recommend anyone that goes to try this because of the amazing, thick, pan fried rice noodles. Get a side of "Peanut plum sauce" and dip the chicken in or pour it over the dish! So yummy. The servers are always very sweet and the place is very quiet with nice piano music playing. Definitely will miss this when we move soon!

• Pros: great pad si ew and pad thai, pretty piano music, nice servers, good atmosphere, great thai iced tea
• Cons: nothing!

Not worth it!

by Dayze67

I wanted to try this place because it was nearby. I was hoping for excellent food. I ordered the fried rice, Anajek chicken and an appetizer (spring rolls) for $30 dollars. Unfortunately the rice was greasy, the 'Anajek chicken" (which was highly recommended) was all dark meat and fatty and the appetizer was over fried. What a huge disappointment. It was like throwing money out the window. I've never written a review before, but felt the need to post about this place. Maybe the other entrees are good, but the three things I tried were terrible.

• Pros: Location
• Cons: The food

Best Thai. Period.

by teachermsw

This is by far the best Thai food I've ever had (and I eat a LOT of Thai food!). My family and I go here once a week, always order the same things but the owner usually makes us one or two dishes of his creation. He is an amazing cook. My favorite is the Shrimp Supreme appetizer, any of the currys, and the phad thai.

Everyone who eats chicken loves the Anajak Thai Chicken. I can't say enough about this restaurant--just go!

• Pros: Service (the owners know at least 75% of the people that come into the restaurant), Food!
• Cons: Parking (hint: park across the street on Cedros-near Borders)

It's just Ok....

by jupiter1

The food isn't bad but I found the staff to be a bit unfriendly depending on the day. We like the vegetarian clear glass noodles so we order that for lunch a few times a month. They don't deliver, and parking is a drag. We've never actually gone into the restaurant because we can never find parking.

• Pros: The Vegetarian Class Noodles
• Cons: No Delivery and No Parking

Meh, it was so-so

by grimple1

The menu just wasn't very large and the entrees seemed to be bastardized Americanism of thai cuisine. Where's the pad lard nar...or the rama chicken? In all, i was pretty dissapointed as I was wanting this place to be very good...and in return it was just so-so. I'll keep looking for a better thai place and so should you.

• Pros: Nice atmosphere and was service was good.
• Cons: Food was so-so and lack of menu options.
