Natalee Thai
10101 Venice Boulevard
Culver City CA United States
Natalee Thai prides itself in being an "authentic" Thai restaurant, yet they do a great job in describing their dishes and in naming them so that they're friendly and approachable for their American guests. (example: the classic appetizer Kra-thong-tong is described as "Not easy to say, but easy to eat. Thailand's answer to a taco filled with chicken, corn, onion, carrots and peas." Takes the fear out of trying it if it's unfamiliar and makes the menu a fun read.) At this location, Natalee Thai breaks with convention showcases a sushi bar and serves up designer cocktails, wine, beer and sake in their full bar. Dishes are served family style and cover the spectrum of Thai classics -- rice, noodles, curry, soups, salads and entrees for meat, fish and vegetable lovers. Hot and spicy dishes are clearly marked and can be kicked up to your heat tolerance. The exterior is unmistakable -- part airline hanger, part Airstream diner -- look for the curvy tin roof line at the intersection of Venice and Clarington next to the enormous parking lot of Smart & Final (where, by the way, you can park despite the ominous no-parking signs...)
