Thai Hut falls somewhere in the spectrum of 3 to 4 stars. I really am not an expert on Thai food and usually count on my gf to order something I'll like, but several things make Thai Hut stand out:
1) Location is ideal and near the art museum in the restaurant dead-zone of McDowell. Odd, that.
2) Charming building
3) Fantastic, family oriented service
4) Pad Thai is the best I've had in my limited experience (take it FWIW)
5) Thai tea, um, fooking delicious
6) CHEAP
Besides, where else ya gonna go before hitting up the Goyas?
