Everything was delicious, especially the Massaman Brisket Curry. This restaurant may have one of the best and most interesting wines in LA right now - wine lovers MUST try this place!

Service was ok. Had to sdk twice for water. For our appetizers we got our satay then had to wait another 10-15 mins for the wings. The fried fish and chicken wings were good. The rest was just ok. Garlic chicken too dry, shrimp fried rice also just ok. Prices a little too high for what u get. Not worth another visit

Seemed to be low on staff on a Saturday. Took over an hour to get food on the table. Also, menu said vegetarian and vegan options were available upon request---not true, I was told by our server. I had to negotiate to get a veggie noodle dish served without meat or fish sauce.

I was super excited about this place as my friend who is half Thai raved about the food here; unfortunately, my visit was tainted the moment we arrived at the door. We walked in at 6:45 p.m. on a Saturday without a reservation; however, the restaurant was half empty with one two-top table straight in front of me. The hostess (and owner?) looked at her reservation book and said that she was not able to accommodate us without a reservation. "That's totally fair," I thought, until I went on Opentable to see if I could make a reservation that was an hour or more later. To my surprise, there was a 7:15 p.m. reservation available. If using logic, there was no way that the restaurant would have reservations between 6:45 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. and then turn over the table(s) in 30 minutes. I made the Opentable reservation for 7:15 p.m. anyway as I was determined to try the food and I didn't mind walking around the neighborhood for 30 minutes. We got back to the restaurant promptly at 7:15 p.m. and lo and behold, the two-top table I was looking at earlier was still empty but now it was reserved for us with a Reserved sign on the table. My anger was boiling but the super nice maitre d'/bartender was obviously embarrassed and really went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. As we were there for the food, we decided on the crispy pork rolls, the massaman brisket, and the bbq pork collar. The rolls came out hot and crispy which I enjoyed. The bbq pork collar was really a lightly marinated pork chop that I didn't find all that special. The biggest disappointment was the brisket. If a brisket had been braised for over 6 hours, I expected it to melt in my mouth. Unfortunately, one of the briskets was so tough that my husband, who absolutely hates wasting food, spat it out; the saving grace was the super peanut-y sauce which he liked (I found it way too sweet). We rarely go to SF Valley and there is definitely no incentive for me to ever go back to Anajak.

The food was good but you have to familiar with Thai food in order to know what's good to order. The garden rolls we delicious but the chicken skewer and mussle dish were not tasty.
