Reading this left me speechless. 🥹 Words cannot fully express how much this review means to me and the entire team at Satdha.
Thank you, , for taking the time to share your experience so beautifully. Your review of our Pomelo & Shiso dish is pure poetry, and your passion for elevating vegan food shines through every single word.🌸
If we could review the reviewers, gets a 10/10 for her professionalism, her brilliant palate, and the incredible positivity she brings to our community. We are so grateful for your support.🙏✨
Reposted 🔁 We deserve this. All of us. Thai food that undulates with that beautiful tension of sweet, salty, sour, and heat — not flattened into the same safe menu repeated coast to coast.
Somewhere along the line, San Diego lost a Thai vegan restaurant that flirted with this level of fearless creativity. A place that could have deepened its roots instead of trading them for meat and Americana.
At Santa Monica’s the language remains intact. Clearly illustrated in the Pomelo & Shiso Leaves ($19). Supreme segmented pomelo studded with Thai chili with crushed peanuts, curls of toasted coconut, crispy shallots, sesame, and microgreens over an aromatic shiso–an herb authentic to Thai food but that I’ve never seen used at a Thai-American restaurant.
These gems this flow from the hands of Chef Gunn Pankum to mine. And if you’re lucky yours as well.

Looking back at this video from my mom’s last birthday, watching her blow out the candles on her favorite Khanom Tan (steamed toddy palm cakes in little banana leaf cups) I made just for her, I’m reminded of where it all began.
Mother’s Day isn’t about a single date—it’s about carrying forward a lifetime of love. It is the very foundation of why I cook. My “daughter to mother” style of cooking started in my childhood kitchen, fueled by a simple wish to care for the woman who cared for everyone else. Every dish we serve at Satdha is an extension of that same love, respect for tradition, and commitment to health that I first practiced for her.
Today, it is a privilege to share that heart and soul with all of you. Whether you are celebrating with your mom, a mother figure, or honoring a beautiful memory, we hope our food brings you that same sense of warmth and comfort.
Happy Mother’s Day to my incredible mom and to all the wonderful mothers in our community! 🌷🌸
