While this isn't the best Thai food in the US, is is the best in Chambana, and probably the best in any small American town. Yes, the food is pricey compared to certain restaurants on campus, but part of that is that they use authentic ingredients, which always cost a bit more. I'd rather pay the extra dollar fifty to get thai eggplant and bamboo as the veg in my curry as opposed to broccoli and zucchini at other places. You can get your food on a scale of spicy, from "I'm Thai or Mexican" on the high end, to "I'm white and super midwestern" on the low end. They will gladly tone it down if you cant handle the heat. I typically get the top or second spiciest setting and find it to be perfect, but I have a taste for chile. Most of my friends shoot for the middle. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area, and I usually take out-of-town guests here.
