celadon Thai Kitchen - Culver City, CA

This was a great find. Thanks Bunny! Our friend turned us onto this restaurant.  
We love Thai Food, and this site does not disappoint. It all starts with the interior. With the light colors they use, it is so bright and airy. The dining area is not that large, but with the large windows and decor the place seems huge.

When we decided on what to order, it was based on our favorites from other Thai establishments.  
We love a good Thai Barbecue Chicken. They did not disappoint. Not only was the presentation on point, the flavor was perfect. It was served tender, juicy, and most importantly HOT. So many times in restaurants you get your food lukewarm. This site has it down from grill to plate, to our table. Kudos!
Another offering we tried was the Sweet Basil Eggplant with Shrimp. Again, thumbs up with the presentation. Great colors with the peppers to an otherwise dark dish. We loved this. The sauce was the best part of the dish. It brought all the ingredients together. And the shrimp, fresh and as you can see fairly sizable. I hate when you are served tiny cocktail shrimp within a shrimp dish like this.
Pad Thai is known as a hearty and flavorful dish. Philip was impressed with this Pad Thai. He's a big fan of this noodle offering. Celadon has a great one here. We loved the generous portion and its authentic taste. Not to gush too much, be we would give this a 10 if pressed for a rating!

You need to visit Celadon. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. If you ever find yourself in the area give it a try.
