Typhoon Restaurant Review

: Typhoon sits in a prime location right next to the runway of the Santa Monica Airport. The restaurant is a sleek, high-tech affair with a mirrored weather map behind the bar that is a stunning piece of aeronautical art. Customers' pilot licenses are showcased on the pillars like the caricatures of movie star clients on the walls at The Palm. The exhibition kitchen executes dishes from every corner of Asia: Japanese gyoza, Indian samosas, Chinese dim sum, Thai coconut-chicken curry, Filipino fried squid, Indonesian crispy noodles and much more. The deep-fried whole catfish is one of the restaurant’s specialties. For the more adventuresome, there are Taiwanese stir-fried crickets and even crunchy scorpions. If the exotic fare isn't enough to keep your attention, you can enjoy panoramic city views and the arrivals and departures of multimillion-dollar Gulfstreams. Another perk if you’re flying in to dine at Typhoon --- transient parking for single engine and light twin aircraft is available right in front of the restaurant. Live jazz bands perform on most Monday and Tuesday nights; cover charges may apply.

Typhoon is kid friendly

Typhoon place is definitely kid friendly. We found the runway more entertaining, food better, less expensive and easier to park than Beni Hana’s. After dinner the family enjoyed the observation area.
