Surprised by tasty dishes... – My wife and I had an event in Santa Monica, so I solicited restaurant recommendations. Two friends recommended Typhoon. I checked out the reviews here. The bad reviews were extreme and scared me a bit, but I trusted my friends' opinion of good food. The event fell through, but the dinner salvaged our evening. We had the BBQ chicken, fried squid (read calamari), and Bah-Mi (Thai noodles). I would recommend them all, especially the Bah-Mi, which was lightly sweet and sour with savory seafood flav... read more
My favorite restaurant in Santa Monica – It is a travesty that a couple of obviously insane people have brought down the user rating of this restaurant so horribly. All I can tell you is, do not listen to these people. I have a very SHORT list of places I can honestly say I've never had anything short of *excellent* at, and this is one of them. Add to that the unbeatable ambience (if you like airplanes, which I do), and you have one of the greatest restaurants in L.A. Go there. I demand it.
BEST NIGHT SPOT IN L.A. – As an L.A.native I have been everywhere, but I keep going back to Typhoon. I've never had the bad experiences other reviewers have had and I go there a lot. Management always takes care of any problem and they try very hard. They know they are not perfect, but their food is always unique and well prepared. High marks to the wait staff. It's the most unique food in Los Angeles and among the best on the west side. My wife and I never tire of it.
Progressively declining – I used to think that it was amusing with decent food. Now, I find it tiresome with mediocre food, served with no enthusiasm whatsoever.
TERRIBLE – This restaraunt is completely over-rated - the food is second rate and uninspired, despite it's delusions of grandeur, and ridiculously self impressed. Do yourself a favor and go eat somewhere else - ANYwhere else!
Excellent, with qualifications. – Typhoon is one of my favorite and most often visited restaurants. Beautiful sunsets and ambience. Not every dish on menu is brilliant, but what's good is damn good. Favorite dishes are kal-bi, filipino bbq pork, deep fried catfish with black bean sauce, and mi goreng (Indonesian crispy noodles). Order family style. Appetizers are serviceable, but as a whole not amazing. Desserts are somewhat uninspired as well. Crickets are best dish among insects.
overpriced and bad service – This place is way over priced. The food tasted like it belong at a bar. We ordered calamari and it was so overcooked we could barely even eat it. The waiters were rude and unattentive. Dont's waste your money here.
Catfish for two – One of the best dates in L.A.? Watching the G-5s land whilst sharing Typhoon's whole catfish in black bean sauce.
