| - Very very good lunch joint if you're working in the area, be sure to arrive early (11:30!!!) to ensure you don't want for a seat. Have been here over 10 times in the past year. Have tried the entire "classic" menu (2 types of pad thai, khao soi, pad gra prao, daily specials, apps, etc...). Only gripe is their habit of jacking up the prices for dinner (the same for pai), was confused the first time I went there for dinner because of that. Solid solid restaurant, moderately and modestly priced, they use real thai herbs (kaffir lime leaf, galangal, thai holy basil) and the cooking has this quality where you're not easily bored during the meal. I usually end up devouring my food because of this, very straight forward and loud flavours, which I really enjoy. Asked the waiters if I could get a shirt for eating every main dish top spicy, didn't materialize though. Great place, the very cramped seating to the point where i'm bumping elbows with people at times on the communal table seating is the only thing i remember that could detract from the experience.
