Ma’am’s International Foods’ New Location In Santa Monica

As you might know, sourcing quality Thai and Asian ingredients can be really difficult on The Westside.  The preeminant destination for groceries and culinary advice has been the delightful Ma’am’s International Foods.  If you don’t know about Ma’am’s, it is your one-stop shop for a carefully curated selection of Asian groceries, cooking school, deli and take-away, and encyclopedic culinary wisdom freely displensed by an affable Ma’am herself.   So I was in shock recently when I went by their location near the corner of Pico and 23rd and noticed that they had cleared out.  But we can all breathe a sigh of relief.  Ma’am’s has only just moved and is open at their new address at 306 Pico Blvd in Santa Monica.

La La Rice Bringing Thai To Sawtelle

A sign has gone up at 11688 Gateway Blvd. (corner of Barrington) announcing that a new Thai eatery is coming to the Sawtelle neighborhood.  La La Rice appears close to opening.  I can’t seem to find out a lot about the new restaurant except that they have applied for a beer and wine license, so I guess we’ll have to wait on details.

Update: I’ve since heard from the good people over at La La Rice who asked me to pass along this link to their website.

(And yes, it officially is in “Sawtelle”, I carefully checked.)

The Original Thai Dishes Gets A New Home In Santa Monica

Ever since Argentinian steak house Malbec vacated the cavernous space at 2628 Wilshire, I’ve been keeping my eye on the location to see what would develop.  Leased notices went up a while ago, but I could detect no movement… until now.  An ABC application recently appeared on the front, spilling the beans that The Original Thai Dishes is setting up housekeeping (as opposed to the unrelated Thai Dishes on Broadway).  According to a spokesperson, this not a second location for the classic Thai eatery, but rather a move from their current space at 19th and Wilshire.
