Rate-A-Restaurant, #35 in a series

Restaurant: Toi on Sunset

Location: 7505 1/2 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles

Type of restaurant: Rock and Roll Thai

They stipulated: It was a busy Thursday night -- so we had to wait for a table. Also, you gotta find parking in what's a pretty busy neighborhood.

What we ordered: Pad Seeyew, Yellow Chicken Curry, Eggplant Pumpkin Tofu

High point: Maria and I headed to Toi last Thursday night after the TV muesum's Paley Festival "Arrested Development" panel. Talk about hitting the spot. What is it about late night Thai food that makes it extra tasty? The Pad Seeyew was good, but the standout was the Yellow Chicken Curry.

Low point: On the flip side, we were disappointed with the Eggplant Pumpkin Tofu. The dish is listed on Toi's website as a customer favorite, and our waiter raved. Maria and I like eggplant, we like pumpkin and we like tofu, so it should have been good. Alas, it didn't really work.

Overall impression: Can you believe, despite living here all these years, we had never been to Toi? Perhaps it's not the best Thai food in town, but it still promises a fun atmosphere. Hell, the joint was playing "The Goonies" on TV. How can you not like that?

Chance we will go back: Hungry? Midnight? I'm sure we'll find our way back to Toi.
