Typhoon

Fodor's Review:

Owner Brian Vidor, who traveled the world as a rock musician and naturalist, brings home some of his favorite gastronomic experiences to this restaurant. If you can tear your attention away from the windows overlooking the Santa Monica Airport flight paths, the exhibition kitchen, and the mirrored weather map above a crowded bar, you can embark on a culinary grand tour of Asia. You'll find sashimi from Japan, samosas from India, and curries from Thailand. For even more adventure—or bragging rights—you can order stir-fried crickets, Manchurian mountain ants, or Singapore-style scorpions, all beautifully seasoned.
