Cafe Talesai Description:
Located at one end of a small strip mall, this compact offshoot of the popular Talésai on the Sunset Strip offers authentic yet modernized Thai cuisine in a hip, streamlined ambience of garden-style tables and chairs, waxed concrete floors, spotlighted Thai sculpture and lively contemporary music. The menu offers fine versions of all the classics---including hot-sour tom yum broths, satays of chicken and beef, green papaya salad, Thai-style barbecued chicken and pad thai. We recommend venturing beyond these, however, to less-common, interesting and creative specialties like Jungle Curry, an up-country-style red curry featuring chicken or fish, lavishly embellished with Asian eggplant, green beans, bell peppers and bamboo shoots; soft-shell crab crisply fried and doused with a potent chili-garlic sauce; Chilean sea bass steamed with fresh ginger and served with tamarind sauce; and the char-grilled garlic pork. Vegetarians will also find lots to enjoy here, including stir-fried spicy eggplant, tofu sautéed with ginger in black bean sauce, and mixed vegetables in a choice of red or green curry. Lunchtime specials offer some of the menu's most popular items at bargain prices.
