“Los Angeles 411” Thai Dishes-- all you want in the energetic Uptown neighborhood of Valencia!!!

thai dishes valencia

Thai food is one of my favorites.  It differs from most Asian foods because, in my opinion, it's a very clean, fresh, and flavorful cuisine.

You'll find lots of dishes that are made with lemon juice, lime juice, chili, cilantro, and many kinds of unique spices.

Some of my favorite dishes are Yum-Woon-Sen, which is made from clear "silver" noodles, Pad Thai, and many of the soups served in a flaming hot-pot.

Thai Dishes is a favorite spot with excellent food, and prices are fairly reasonable.

I feel so awful about what the Japanese people are going through.

Such a devastating combination of earthquake, tsunami and now nuclear reactor explosions, OMG.

Thoughts, prayers, and good light to all of them.
