You'll be hard-pressed to find a better spot west of Thai Town than this intimate destination eatery perched just off PCH. If the ocean view of this Malibu beach shack doesn’t capture your attention, the deliciously authentic Thai plates will. Golden-hued locals soak in the sun while noshing on staples like pad see ew, rice noodles tossed with egg, broccoli and sweet accent of dark soy sauce, and house specialties like the highly addictive Golden Bags: crispy, fried wontons filled with ground chicken and shrimp and sweet and spicy dipping sauce.
