Review: Our Top Choices for Restaurants in Venice California

Stuffy is as Stuffy Does - a Good Restaurant Does Not Have to Be Stuck Up

Venice has a lot of great Restaurants to choose from. Many of the choices think too much of themselves from our point of view. This is a review and recommendation of the top restaurants in the Venice area in a wide variety of food types. Some are chic and "in" places and others are just the best to take your entire family for good food. That makes them tops in our book.

Pam's Place has the best East Asian and Thai food in the Venice area and has been around for a long time. It is right on Venice Boulevard, not too far from the Beach and has all the food choices are Asian and Thai food. What I especially like is the range of curry sauces that they have available. They have more ways to cook tofu and noodles that I ever thought were possible. The prices cannot be said to be inexpensive but as the best in its class that is understandable. Pam really is the owner and if anything is not right she will make it so if you let her know. That is another thing that has kept them around for so long. You will probably spend just under $20 per person. At some Asian restaurants you get such large portions that often you have enough to take some home. That won't happen at Pam's but not to worry as you won't leave hungry. So when you are up for Thai or Asian food in Venice for my money Pam's is the place. The atmosphere is, well, Thai and Asia. They love kids and you will love Pam's

I am not a big fan of Japanese food but the Kabuki Japanese Restaurant is tops in it's niche as far as I am concerned. Located in Venice on Center Boulevard this is absolutely the tops for Japanese sushi and more. The décor is quite modern and the range and quality of food just super good. It's medium high in price, you probably will spend $20 - $25 per person and they love to have kids. That's a plus as far as our family is concerned. They do have lunch specials every day and the special with a drink will be about $10. That is a great price for a top quality Japanese restaurant and gives you a peek at the food and a reason to come back for the more extensive dinner menu. They have non Japanese food that is reasonably priced as well. This is for certain one place you should give a try. I bet it ends up on your visit often list.
