This evening, with nsshere out with friends at the House of Mouse, we decided to continue our quest to find a Thai Restaurant to replace Khun Khao in Panorama City, which now is too far away.
Our search is over. We found a new place, Lum-Ka-Naad in Northridge, less that a mile from our house. They have great prices, great food, and an extremely wide menu. In fact, their menu goes beyond your normal Thai-Chinese restaurant menu to include specialty regional dishes from northern and southern Thailand.
Tonight we ordered our usual test dish, Phad Thai, together with a glass noodle soup (#49, Glass noodle soup with fish ball, ground pork, served with baby bog choy, and bean sprouts), and a southern regional dish, Kuah Gling (#140, Pan-fried meat marinated in Southern Style spices paste: fresh galangal, Kaffir lime leaves, turmeric root, Thai Chili, and shrimp paste. Served with fresh spinach, carrot, lettuce, cucumber, and cilantro leaves). This last dish was almost like a dry tum-yun, and was just a little spicy (3 on a scale of 10). All were excellent in both taste and presentation, and the prices weren’t that bad: with tip, just over $32. They also have a separate vegan menu.
This is definately a go back. ixixlix, we picked you up a “to go” menu.
Lum-Ka-Naad is located in Northridge, at 8920 Reseda Blvd between Nordhoff and Rayen. It is a few doors up from Morigi Pizza and Kabobs.
