Nestled on the busy corner of Fairfax and Third Street in Los Angeles is the fine dining Thai restaurant, Rama. It’s located directly across from The Grove, a gorgeous retail and entertainment complex. One of Rama’s highlights is the streaming water works display. The 30-year-old, family-owned chain has locations in San Diego and Cabo San Lucas and has been hailed as “One of the Top 100 Restaurants in the USA.” Rolling out was invited, along with the go-to online urban city guide, yelp.com to Rama’s grand opening.
With its wonderful works of art and museum décor, including a Buddha waterfall in the lounge and hundreds of tiny tealight candles illuminating the dining room, Rama easily establishes itself as one of the best new Thai restaurants in Los Angeles. Here’s what a few diners had to say about Rama and yelp.com’s presence.
The Décor:
Lakilah (a nursing student): “It’s pretty modernized, decent, romantic, and has a great ambience. I like the atmosphere and decoration.”
The Cusine:
Michael (an entrepreneur): “It’s gourmet Thai and Belmont Shores better step aside because Rama has arrived and Michael is alive.
Jennifer (an attorney): “The Basil Leaves are delicious and the Jalapeño Chicken is to die for.”
On Yelp.com:
Lakilah: “Yelp is a good money saver and it offers great deals on bars, restaurants and clubs. You can even find a doctor on yelp. It’s useful in all aspects of the world.”
Michael: “It’s a great social network which turns into a business network; it helps a lot of people break out of their shell. If you want to meet new people, you already know that you have two things in common – food and writing reviews. That’s an ice breaker in itself. Yelp is a great ways to bring total strangers together and it’s perfect for out-of-towners and visitors to California.Yelp.com is a social network of individuals who develop friendships while enjoying good food and making sure that businesses get the recognition that they deserve for providing good service to the community. Getting a good grade on yelp.com is important to most businesses and Rama passed with flying colors. –marqueta smith
