soothes the california soul!. i recently moved here from the bay area and have been craving great thai. i've tried many other places recommended by friends, family, and online, only to be consistently disappointed. then, someone recommended ekamai. i have to admit, we were a little surprised at the size and ambiance of the restaurant. we actually wondered whether we came to the right place, or whether this was the take-out area of a full-service ekamai restaurant. however, after we tasted the food, i wouldn't change a thing! the intimacy of the restaurant, the charm and friendliness of woot, and the authentic thai flavors make you feel like you have just been welcomed into a cherished place only few are cool enough to find. little did i know that this place does amazing business, frequented by those that know and appreciate great food. we'll be back for our regular thai fix!
