I'm not normally a huge fan of Thai restaurants, but on Saturday I
happened to go to Thai BBQ, which is located on Wilshire Blvd. between
5th and 6th Streets in Santa Monica, and was very impressed.  Despite
the "BBQ" in the name, it seemed to have the regular Thai menu.  We
had Beef Sate, Hot and Sour Shrimp Soup, Beef Panang, Garlic and
Pepper Shrimp and Broccoli, BBQ Pork Spareribs and Pad Thai.  All were
very good, the soup maybe a little less so.  (The coconut milk soups
are probably somewhat better.)  Bill was $45 for 4 people.
Recommended.

Not related to Thai food, but near the same area is a HOME cooked
type of Italian place called ANNAS. Between 4th and 5th street
on Wilshire Blvd. Anna is the host, a real nice lady. 

The menu is great and so are the prices (starting around $6.00). 

I've moved from the area about a year ago, but would will make the
journey just for the smell of REAL good cooking. Say hi to Anna for me.

P.S. Alot of locals go to Annas, you may need to wait to get a 
table.....but it's worth it!!

There is this trendy Thai restaurant in Santa Monica that I'd like
to recommend to the netters.  It's called "Pataya Cafe", it's at
the corner of Wilshire & Lincoln.  They have lunch buffet daily that
has over 20 items.  I'm a Thai person myself, and I'd like to say
that the food is very good, including the curry dishes.   The price
per person is only $5.95 on weekdays and $6.95 on weekends.  If you
happen to be in the area between 11am and 2pm, you got to stop by
and sample their many dishes.

In addition, on Friday and Saturday nights, they have a Thai "Elvis"
impersonator singing (not lipsync) at the front bar.  I've heard him
sing, and I was quite impressed with his voice, although he does not
look much like Elvis aside from the outfit.  They also have the karioke
machine there if you like that kind of stuff.

Warning:  You might be tempted to overeat at the buffet.  I took my
          co-workers for lunch several times, and a few people didn't
          like it too much because they lost control and overate.

I'm glad that someone has finally recognized the greatness of Anna Maria's
(as we have always called it) on Wilshire.  I've been dropping in and out
of there since late '85 -- and it's always been packed.  

If you like feeling part of a loud, noisy, extended family -- go and see Anna
and ask for a table.  Never had a bad meal, and never gone away unhappy or 
feeling that it wasn't worth it.  Very much fun indeed.

Regards,
