Civilize Thai Bistro

Asian FusionLos Angeles$$

Civilize Thai Bistro is one of the best asian fusion restaurants in Los Angeles for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Los Angeles.

What Chef Lee has built on South Santa Monica Blvd reads, on paper, like a provocation: a Thai bistro on the edge of Beverly Hills that reportedly refuses to soften its edges for the neighborhood, yet keeps its menu legible enough that nobody feels challenged just sitting down.
