Anajak Thai Cuisine Los Angeles Reviews
They're clearly sailing on their LA Times Restaurant of the
They're clearly sailing on their LA Times Restaurant of the Year award from 2022 but this place is NOT it. This place is all hype, arrogance, and mediocrity. 1. We reserved a table for the inside, but when we got there, they sat us outside.
I hate to leave a bad review but it feels necessary
I hate to leave a bad review but it feels necessary considering how cutthroat it is to even get a reservation. If you really would like to try this place consider securing a spot inside the restaurant. No matter how much they try to make your exper

Food and service was exquisite! Reservations are very hard to come by- so when I immediately snagged the first open availability I saw. Unfortunately my friend was late because of parking, but Emily at the hostess stand was so polite and understandin

My fiancé and I waited over a year to finally have the chance to see what all the hype was about, and it was absolutely worth the wait. We were able to get a reservation during their reopening. We started with the Papaya Salad and wow, this was the

the refresh at anajak is dialed in to the tee! service 5/5 food 5/5 wine curation is world class. ambiance always a home run :)

After hearing about Anajak for years & finally getting that difficult reservation, unfortunately this place does not live up to the hype. The Thai fried chicken was actually quite good, but it came out 40 minutes before the rest of our food. We a

I heard about Anajak Thai when I moved to LA 4 years ago.
I was excited to try it one day as my husband and I are huge foodies and also love Thai food. My husband also lived in Bangkok for a while and we visited several regions in Thailand for our first anniversary. We are also the kind of people who would
Upon checki-in, Amad greeted us very warmly.
Alan was our server and helpful in suggesting dishes we would like. The fried chicken and cucumber and radish salad were our two favorites. The soup was so spicy, even for those who like spicy! The Pad Thai was mehhh. And the spring rolls were jus

Don't believe the hype about this hole in the wall, there is nothing special about it and it's over priced to say the least. Skip this place and find somewhere much better for half the price. I hope they go out of business eventually which
Easily one of the Best Thai Restaurants Outside of Thailand
I’ve been coming to Anajak consistently for the past 5 years and have never had a bad experience. While the restaurant has been around since the 1980s, it really changed about 5 years. Much bigger focus on Thai dishes and the creation of an extensi
Disappointing
We were visiting our son and daughter-in-law in LA and we went here for dinner. They had never been to the place but my son said it always has lines and was highly rated, and they were both dying to try it. Even with reservations, we had to wait a

Since it's rated as one of the best restaurants in LA, I had to try it out. It definitely was very good. I would describe it as upscale Thai food in a casual family style setting. The place was adorned with a hodgepodge of their many awards, LA memor

There is ZERO reason to go here.
The line out the door is beyond me and everyone I personally meet that has been. It was very good years ago, and heard the original owner sold the place or something. The food now is below mediocre and very overpriced. There are so many other amazing
A little disappointed about this restaurant as my friend
A little disappointed about this restaurant as my friend was raving about it. Nothing that I ordered really had a great taste. Giving 3 stars for a great service though!
LA Hot Spot

I really wanted to love this place, but it was truly just OK. Came in a group of 5 (we had a reservation) and sat outside. They were a little pushy with the wine menu, but we aren't big drinkers so we settled for water and sparkling. We grabbed the
Warm welcome greeting and best table granted to our party
Warm welcome greeting and best table granted to our party of 4 dining alfresco in LA is so choice in perfect weather. Last night was amazing. We got about 10 dishes to share with 4 people and 2 bottles of delicious white wine. May was our server and
Both wine and food were wonderful.
Service also good. One major problem made the experience very uncomfortable which was the loudest music ever!! We could not have a conversation with people at our table! Ears ringing hours after eating! We were offered a table outside instead but
It is worth a try
We ordered 5 dishes 1 was good the fish, black sea bream, then the fried chicken with the spicy sauce, and bok choy with cauliflower and patty pan were great but the crudo yellowtail was incredible. What I wouldn’t order again are the pork ribs. Wa
Good food good mood
The staff was very polite and food was good. The food was served in time and the price was also good as per the ambience. Highly recommended place.

I haven't been to this restaurant since they won the James Beard award. The food has always been amazing but it is now about 10 levels up. A tiny restaurant on Ventura Blvd which is truthfully not good for a group more than 6-they have expanded the

So we went to check out to hype and I can describe it perfectly in only 2 words: sugar rush! Almost every dish servers is overly sweet. Way too much sugar. The fried chicken was good but the dipping sauce was crazy sweet. The cabbage was great but

WOW! My boyfriend and I have been wanting to try Anajak for quite some time. We were able to snag an 8:30PM res for Saturday night. The hostess was warm and friendly when we arrived and as we waited for our table. We were seated just shortly after 8
Anajak Thai.
.. where do I start? First of all I travel the whole country for work and something I have noticed is service has declined hard, not at Anajak Thai. Jose supported our server Alan like a champ. Alan was always around when we needed him and incredibly

Anajak wasn't necessarily the transcendent, life-changing experience that its reputation would predict, but its reputation isn't under its control. I've had it on my bookmark list since it was a tiny place in an alley, and sadly wasn't able to visit
What a gem I have been missing.
I have heard about this restaurant for a fee years and been carrying the name on my bookmarks. On a Sunday afternoon we walked in and although they didn't have tables available the sat us, thanks to the friendly hostess. Attentiveness of the staff

Our friends touted this to be their favorite Thai restaurant in the LA area and insisted that we try this place. Reservations come out a month before and they are usually snatched up fast. The only table we were able to get was on valentines day. S

Food was good and well seasoned but overpriced for what it's worth. A nice experience but probably would not opt to return. Portion sizes for the curry and pad see ew were small I prefer the food from the Wat Thai temple stalls - plenty of flavor a

Maybe tonight was an off night? For the high, high price bordering on the absurd and the amount of hype, my experience was mediocre at best. I came on Thai Taco Tuesday and ordered the fish taco, the fried chicken and the drunken noodles. All were fi
Doesn't live up to the hype
Bad service, very loud music couldn’t hear my daughter talk , hot chili smoke inside the restaurant makes your eyes hurt. Food not bad not good.
One of the best restaurants in LA
LA Time’s 2022 Best Restaurant of the Year and James Beard award recipient - with those kind of accolades, of course I needed to try. Made a reservation a month out online and had dinner at 6pm on a Saturday with my dad. We ate outside in the alley
Spectacular Experience
Perfection in the Culinary Wasteland we call the San Fernando Valley. Have waited 50 years for a creative unique experience like this and finally Anajak has nailed it. We loved everything about the restaurant. Huge shout out to Som Michael who pa
Anajak Thai is worth the hype
Southern Fried Thai Chicken is a must. This place is everything the reviews say it is. Delicious food, easy atmosphere!
Massive disappointment, mediocre food at best
The hype over this restaurant is unbelievable and puzzling, to put it mildly. We had a reservation for three and were only seated 25 minutes later. The restaurant is packed tightly and the seating is not entirely comfortable. We have been eating Tha

This place got my attention for restaurant of the year
This place got my attention for restaurant of the year according to the LA times. Do they really know about food? well perhaps. I use to think a great restaurant was all about the food but in LA no sir it is not. Just hate when you sit on the sidewal
Still coming weekly.
Still the best thai in LA. What an amazing business - ownership and staff are as friendly as can be and the food is out of this world. We feel so lucky to be so close to this gem!
Took a month to get a reservation for this place.
Eventually, I got a reservation for Saturday at 4pm , which is when they open. They put a lot into making the experience unique. When you walk in you are surrounded by wine bottles and they have someone on the staff who talks you through the wine lis

honestly great food.
The place is a little small and loud but the wine is amazing and the food is incredible. The pad Thai was just to die for. The fried chicken tasted like they dipped it in a curry and then battered it and fried it.... I can't express this enough..It w
Impossible to get a reservation BUT WELL WORTH IT.
Our party of six ordered a variety of dishes, probably 10 in all. Everything was incredibly flavorful. The meatballs were a crowd favorite, but the dish I can't forget is the scallops! The sauce that came with the dish was so deep with flavor I wan
My party of 4 had a reservation for 8:30pm Sunday night.
We unfortunately didn't get seated until 9:20pm. Double unfortunate..the restaurant sold out of a few options.. I guess this might be expected being the last reservation of the evening and the venue closing at 9pm? Noted!Nonetheless, the staff were r

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Anajak Thai Cuisine Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Anajak Thai Cuisine Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Anajak Thai Cuisine Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Anajak Thai Cuisine Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
