Thai Room Restaurant
821 N Hollywood Way, Burbank, CA 91505, United States
I rarely take the time to post reviews, but this has been one of the exceptions because this tiny mom-and-pop thai restaurant deserves it. Its hidden in Burbank on Hollywood Way just off the busy area on Magnolia blvd. I found it by chance because I was walking down the street and saw the front sign. The food is really good (I got their pineapple fried rice and an Iced thai coffee). The prices are good even though it is near Portos and other more fancy restaurants. Definitely a place to stop by. The atmosphere is unique because when you walk in, you get the impression youre steping into someones house through the back door. This is exactly another aspect that I liked. Most restaurants go for the high end franchise look but here it feels homey.
Grandmas Thai Kitchen
13230 Burbank Blvd, Van Nuys, CA 91401, United States
Ordered from them last night and it has to be the worst Thai food weve ever had in our life. The Tom Yum soup was so insanely spicy it was inedible. And we like spicy foods but this was just off the charts. Like literally burning your mouth and throat.The Udon noodle dish tasted like mop water, awful and smelled a little funny. We couldnt have more than one taste of the noodles and that was enough. The yellow curry was ok, chicken was a like stringy and still pretty bland in flavor compared to other yellow curries weve had but at least somewhat edible. The white rice was good and thats about it.Worst part is that they wont even refund our money. Uber eats just ignores us so they should take it upon themselves to refund people on inedible orders of over spiced food and mop water noodles that they serve to people. They should stand by their food and help dissatisfied customers to avoid bad reviews.And as you can see from my pics that I took today the food was not eaten. Not even a little bit.Never ordering from them again and if you were wise neither would you. Theres tons of better Thai restaurants in Burbank. Too bad we decided to give them a chance. We ended up eating frozen chicken tenders from Trader Joes.
Gindi Thai Restaurant Sushi Bar
4017 W Riverside Dr, Burbank, CA 91505, United States
The place was really cute! Didnt thing that thered be such a cute dinner spot out of nowhere in Burbank. It was a bit weird to see so many different things on the menu, but we stuck with the thai food. Had the hibiscus gin drink from their happy hour menu with an order of egg rolls and tofu frites. Ordered a pad thai and the 3 curry combo to get a taste of them all. Honestly, all the curry was delicious and the pad thai also tasted good. One thing about the pad thai, we did notice that the shrimp was a little translucent, that maybe it wasnt cooked all the way thru. Probably shouldve asked them to take it back, but we were too hungry.However, not sure if it was just us, but we definitely werent feeling well after eating the food. We took leftovers home and reheated the next day and got the same reaction of having an upset stomach. Might just be coincidence?
Season Thai Cuisine
166 E Orange Grove Ave, Burbank, CA 91502, United States
My husband and I visited this place over the weekend. We tried a couple of dishes.To start with, the pad thai chicken with shrimp was awful and we did not have any bite at all.We then ordered the chicken thai bbq (since we won't eat the pad thai). That did not impress as well as the chicken tasted like pork. When we ordered this entrée half way through our seating, the waiter simply asked if we don't want the pad thai dish anymore (it was full and we had no intentions of having any bite). We said that it tasted so bad and we will not eat it. The waiter simply removed the plate and did not care about any customer satisfaction.When the check came, we saw that the pad thai was included, so we had to pay for a full size untouched pad thai dish.PS: we also had the mongolian beef which is not that great but was not that horrid as well, the amount of meat was hilarious as it felt it was a vegetarian dish.Awful taste and experience.

Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area

I grew up exploring the LA River and the basin is the headwaters. I used to catch an amazing variety of animals down there bluegill, catfish, minnows, enormous bullfrogs, huge crayfish. What I remember the most was there were these goldfish down there, literally thousands of them but these ones were different, they looked like Koi. Exact same coloration the oranges, blacks, white and gold. They averaged about 6 to 8 inches and the schools of these fish were enormous. Thats all gone now since they put in the water treatment plant, it hasnt been the same. The water got slow and warm, great for mosquitoes but not fish. Although, now there are turtles in the section north of Burbank and Ive seen some pretty big fish jumping, probably just regular carp. Now they got these huge birds: gray herons, great egrets, every duck species Ive ever seen, cormorants and seagulls and pelicans its kind of amazing -all the fish are gone, and then these birds show up. Nowadays, I go down to the section between Burbank and the dam looking for fossils in the sand bars and I find a lot. This whole San Fernando valley used to be in inland Sea and I find all sorts of shells fossilized crabs, sea sponges and occasionally turtles all in really good condition except theyre 16 million years old imagine that its crazy.If youre going to go down there wear your shoes at all times. Do not go barefoot anywhere. Stay away from the homeless people they are usually pretty mellow but still, you never know. Plus, whenever theres a meteor shower or a lunar eclipse or some sort of night time astronomical event, even 4th of July, the view is pretty good but you can find a really dark sky if youre down in the basin along Woodley. Night time viewing conditions are better there than anywhere up in the mountains. But, if you are there late at night, its amazingly cold even in the summer. dress warm. Thats about it.
