Anajak Thai : Restaurant Thai à Sherman Oaks

Anajak Thai, situé au 14704 Ventura Blvd dans le quartier de Sherman Oaks, a été fondé en 1981 par la famille Pichetrungsi. Ce restaurant familial est devenu une institution locale, notamment grâce à Justin Pichetrungsi, qui a repris l'établissement en 2019 après une carrière chez Disney. Depuis, il a su préserver la tradition tout en innovant, notamment avec des événements comme le Thai Taco Tuesday, qui attire une foule nombreuse chaque semaine.


Ce restaurant thai se distingue par ses spécialités telles que le poulet frit à la thaïlandaise, le curry Massaman, ou encore ses tacos inspirés de la cuisine asiatique, notamment ceux à base de poisson ou de lap cheong. La carte est également réputée pour ses vins naturels, ses plats créatifs et ses desserts comme le mango sticky rice, qui ravissent les amateurs de cuisine asiatique moderne. Anajak Thai offre une expérience culinaire riche en saveurs authentiques et en innovations culinaires.


L’ambiance chaleureuse et conviviale de ce restaurant asiatique se reflète dans son décor simple mais accueillant, mêlant touches modernes et éléments traditionnels thaïlandais. L’atmosphère est animée, surtout lors des soirées thématiques comme le Thai Taco Tuesday, où l’on ressent une véritable énergie communautaire. Un lieu où la cuisine asiatique rencontre la convivialité dans un cadre authentique, idéal pour une soirée dinner entre amis ou en famille.

"Michelin Guide mention 2024 #2 Best Restaurant by LA Time in 2023 Now in its fifth decade of operation, this beloved family-owned fixture has never been more in-demand. Much of its current acclaim owes, no doubt, to second-generation Chef Justin Pichetrungsi, whose approach hits a sweet spot between minding tradition and walking his own boldly idiosyncratic path. This is amply demonstrated on freewheeling "Thai Taco Tuesdays," a no-reservations event that draws lines around the block. For additional excitement, one weekend per month, a unique omakase experience is surely one of the city's most coveted reservations. Whether sampling spot-on versions of Thai classics, or delving into more rarified fare, the warm service, memorable wine list and singularly buzzy atmosphere make for a one-of-a-kind experience."

"Sherman Oaks Thai $$ Take out Reservation In 2019, Justin Pichetrungsi made the life-changing decision to leave a successful career as an art director at Walt Disney Imagineering and take over the Sherman Oaks restaurant his parents founded in 1981. In his hands, Anajak Thai straddles parallel worlds. The mainstay menu preserves the legacy of Ricky Pichetrungsi, Justin’s father, whose recipes coalesce his Thai upbringing and Cantonese heritage. Justin’s creative efforts — the Thai Taco Tuesday phenomenon he introduced in 2020, the omakase meals he serves that use a Japanese format to reexamine Southeast Asian flavors, a wine list that summarizes Angelenos’ disparate tastes — reframe the neighborhood institution as a seat of innovation. At Thai Taco Tuesday, or #TTT as Justin tags it on Instagram, expect weekly whims — perhaps blue corn tortillas cradling Ora King salmon dressed with purple cabbage, a slick of mayo, chili crisp and nam jim, or tostadas overlaid with rounds of lap cheong, brightened with mint, or lobes of kanpachi dotted with salmon roe. All the while, the restaurant’s primary menu is tighter, truer, stronger. Fried chicken wings have a tauter sour-sweet edge in the tamarind glaze; Massaman brisket curry, lush and aromatic, comforts profoundly. Fried chicken, a newer restaurant staple, is sheathed in rice-flour batter and scattered with fried shallots. The bird is prepared in the style of Nakhon Si Thammarat, a city in Southern Thailand where Rattikorn Pichetrungsi, Justin’s mother, has family. An optional side of caviar is very much Justin’s idea of embellishment. The cooking, in whichever format you experience it, evinces skill and delight. In July we named Anajak Thai as the L.A. Times’ Restaurant of the Year."

"NYT top 25 in 2024 This family-run Thai restaurant in Sherman Oaks has a superpower: shape-shifting. Tuesdays are for Thai-inspired tacos and tostadas, which make sense the second you taste them, or for cheffy, one-off collaborations, while the last weekend of each month means it’s time for Justin Pichetrungsi’s freestyle tasting menu. But what some might consider the ordinary days in between are a joy, too, with dishes like the mouthwatering fish custard haw mok or Southern Thai fried chicken. That’s when the restaurant plays the part of neighborhood gem and you can see all the loving updates that Mr. Pichetrungsi made after he took over from his parents and bulked up the wine program."

"Anajak Thai in Sherman Oaks has become something of a haven during the pandemic. The restaurant’s weekly rotating guest chef and winemakers series on Tuesday nights are legendary, especially when paired with the fun, sometimes rowdy restaurant alleyway crowd and always-hospitable young owner Justin Pichetrungsi, who is now overseeing the family restaurant. There’s always somebody there to scope the scene (just check your Instagram feed to see for yourself), from basketball legends to local cooks, writers, and fans of natural wine. On those Tuesdays, Pichetrungsi grills wings over charcoal, turns out one-off taco creations using various ingredients, like dry-aged fish, and generally holds court from behind the folding tables, directing the flow of food and people as best he can. And while the crowd, the wine, the tacos are all worthy of exploration, it’s important to remember that at its heart this is still a family Thai restaurant, turning out fried chicken wings with a sticky tamarind sauce, plus garlicky pad siew noodles, and delicious mango sticky rice for dessert. It’s all worth an order, and not just on busy Tuesday nights. 14704 Ventura Boulevard, Sherman Oaks. — Farley Elliott"
