Red Corner Asia - perfectionism pays off - 10/06
Sweet and Sour Chicken - excellent - be sure to request battered chicken and add pinapple.
Fried trout with Apple sauce - excellent - no bones!
Fish cakes - excellent
Parking - this is hollywood so valet parking most hours
Atmosphere - modern classy thai - Of note the Fashion chanel and Food chanell are always displayed on the two HDTV's. These are muted and the restaraunt plays varied thai music or older american classic vocals. Of note, the fashion channel broadcast nudity at night so

Food - The famous dish is Swan-Lui-Tung. It is a delicious, unique, fish dish that has slices of lemon grass, lime, and shallot and also top with fresh cilantro. The waitresses are always friendly. The service is always fast! The price is reasonable. There are some other dishes that cost only two dollars a dish.

11/06
Food
lacking cilantro
chicken pad ki mao - spicy noodle - excellent - ordered not spicy and since this dish is ALWAYS spicy were amazed when it was not spicy at all yet totally true to the taste of the dish.
Fried trout with Apple sauce - good but somehow lacking - probably lack of cilantro
White rice - short grain - soft but dry, almost like mexican style
Seafood Soup - 9.95, poor - The soup water itself was the main problem. Lots of artificial crab. The quality of the shrimp suggests that all shrimp dishes be tried at peril. Doesn't bode well for the sushi (not tried).
Service - fine except sushi orders can go well beyond 30 minutes unfullfilled.
Thai Tea - Big and strong
Parking - convenient
Cleanliness - acceptable
Atmosphere - can't decide between classy/authentic thai and cafeteria seating
Comfort - plain cafeteria style chairs and tables, but not uncomfortable.
