If you have been to one Thai restaurant then you have been to them all, right?
Wrong. Pin Kaow is to regular Thai places what Gordon Ramsay Steak is to burger joints...different ball park, different night, different game.
Now, I do have to admit that the decor and ambiance are very similar to many of the other Thai restaurants that I have experienced across the country. In fact, many of these places seem to be designed and outfitted by the same person or company. The staff at Pin Kaow is friendly, polite and professional. The will work with you on areas of concern regarding the menu; in particular levels of heat desired for each dish.
The food is just light years better than any Thai food I have ever had. I used to live near NYC, I have lived in Miami and Washington DC and this is quite frankly, the best Thai food I have ever had.
Fried Catfish Curry was absolutely spot on.
