My sunset drink spot – Great spot to watch the planes during sunset with a drink in hand. The bar serves the yummiest mixed drinks; I'm a huge fan of their Mojito's. The frog legs are to die for and taste like mini chicken. The Mongolian beef is wonderfully delicious with the fresh steamy bread. The servers are great and started recognizing us after our 2nd meal there. And who doesn't love those creepy crawly critters?

Typhoon I had fun one night here sitting at the bar. The menu is pretty interesting if you are brave! Along with typical great Thai food the menu includes scorpions, crickets, frog legs and worms. Great for adventurous little boys! And it's at the SM Airport so that is an added plus for kids to see the planes.

Horrible, horrible, horrible........... – We heard some "good" things about this place and wanted to check it out ourselves. Well, the wait was quick and that was the ONLY good part. The service was HORRIBLE, the waiter put his entire sleeve into my wife?s dinner while reaching across the table to pour water and almost knocked her in the head while doing so. The food was just okay, for what?s on the menu your better off going to a Thai restaurant then wasting your money at this place. They NEVER asked us if we wanted another... read more

great vibe, drinks, food stopped in to watch a sunset and grab a beer. Stayed for the tom kha gai soup, samosas and poncho sanchez playing live while the cessnas landed behind him.

So So Food Times Bad Service – After many visits with many friends, this place managed to ruin my wife's 40th birthday party with warm beer, bad service and no cake and candles after many hints to the server... we tried to over look many of the short comings on my many visits because my friends love to watch the planes landing and taking off...it couldn't have been from us not leaving a good tip we always left 40 per cent... so I tell my friends who like to watch planes take off and landing to go to In and Out Burger near LA... read more

Great menu & food, great atmosphere – It's been over a year since my last visit to Typhoon, so tonight it was time to head back. The service tonight was excellent and the food never fails to impress. I've always enjoyed the eclectic menu as well as the atmosphere at Typhoon. The wait staff was very attentive and the food was excellent. If it's been a while since you've dined at Typhoon or if you had concerns about the service in the past, it's time to head back. Though it's been a while since my last visit, I plan to head ba... read more

Excellent!!!Nice view, friendly stuff, good price and good food! – I went with my friend on Saturday, around 9.30pm, no crowd, the view is cool, in front of the airport! I got Pad Thai chicken and crickets with asian basil and garlic...DELICIOUS! The staff was really nice and I had very good time! Can't wait to come back and try some other insect! By the way, I'm Italian and I know about good food! ;-)

Unique Place for Unique Food – You are at an airport eating insects...sound crazy! Typhoon bring great Thai food to unusual dishes like whole fish pates, insects, and water animals. The airport setting is a bonus and parking is easyand free! The food is not that much and the service is great.

Interesting foods, wide variety of Asian dishes. – We went there this past Friday and had reservations for 9:00. Incredibly crowded when we arrived and took us about half an hour to be seated. Waiter took our initial drink order and then disappeared for a good 20 minutes. Luckily another hostess delivered our drinks. Then the waiter shows up again with a duplicate order of our drinks thinking that we hadn't gotten them initialy. Luckily more drinks are good and I can understand snafu's happen when it's that crowded. Ordered ... read more
