| - Been around 6 times so far; still the best I've found in the area though that's not saying much (having visited Thailand and lived in the Bay Area!). The vegetable dishes are great, and the spicy catfish is awesome (it's a 'special' but seems to be on the board all the time). The larb gai (chicken salaid) is good too,though they serve too much chicken in my opinion on a small plate (you need to get at the lemon juice at the bottom, which is hard with a small plate piled high).
The big disappointment so far is the curries. They have about 6 curries, and each one comes with a choice of meat (or prawn/tofu). Now, if you've had authentic Thai curries like Massaman, it will come with tender cubes of beef, which are soaked through with the flavor and fall apart with the fork. But here, because they offer 'mix and match' "Meats", they simply dump in the pre-cooked meat and cook for a few minutes. My beef curry therefore consisted of thin slices/pieces of beef, which completely misses the point of the curry. I recommend they stop offering every curry in every combination, and get some real cubes of beef in there!
But the place does good overall and sells beer (unlike their place at Pima/Frank Lloyd Wright), so I'll give them 4 stars! Their 'Chang' beer is better in my opinion that Singha, which gives me a headache!
