Joom

On Friday night we met Audrey and Jeff for a quiet dinner at Joom Bangkok Cafe on Beverly Boulevard near Fairfax. I say quiet, because this particular corner of the Fairfax area, across the street from CBS Television City is unusually quiet compared with all of the blocks surrounding it.

Beverly Boulevard, further east, can be quite hectic and lively any evening of the week. Also, further up the block on Fairfax it is usually packed because of the many restaurants and shops. South of CBS on Fairfax is the Original Farmers Market, always teeming with tourists and locals.

This is one of the reasons we like Joom. It's in a mini-mall with other businesses that are only open during the day, so there is always parking at night. It's not jam-packed at dinner time. The food is quite good, maybe not up to Thai Town / Hollywood standards, but very tasty.

They offer dinner specials which include an appetizer and soup or salad AND dessert. I ordered dumplings, Thai salad and curry with brown rice. Everyone else ordered various items, including the vegie spring rolls.

For dessert we each received a perfect little scoop of creamy chocolate chip ice-cream. Yum!

We shall return to this quiet little corner of our busy City soon!
