We enjoyed Penn's...arrived late Monday night and were pleasantly surprised that they had thai beer.
Started with the jerky and beef salad, then had panang shrimp and pad thai. Ended with mango and sticky rice -- so delicious.
Loved the complex flavors. Easy confident staff. Only thing that detracted was the sound of a microwave in the background...Not sure what was being nuked, but I'm just hoping it wasn't our food....
It's definitely not comparable to Lotus, but it's great to have such competent cuisine on this side of town, so for that I'm thrilled.
