Thrillist
A big love letter to the food paradise I grew up in. I wish I could have included about 1,000 more restaurants, but them’s the berries.
“There isn’t much left to say about the 2022 LA Times Restaurant of the Year that hasn’t been said already. Anajak Thai place has been a Valley staple since the ’80s, but this is Anajak 2.0.

Anajak is a place to embrace the unique beauty of eating in Los Angeles.”
