this place is hit or miss. when it hits, it's the best Thai food in the country. when it misses, you just waited 2 hours for something you could have gotten in any town in the country. still good, but not the transcendent Zagat darling. i got the larb a few months ago and it was one of the best things i ever ate. i got it again a couple months later, totally different dish and only good. the Reislings by the glass are a perfect pairing for the spicy, sality goodness it offers. if you've never been here, then do so, be brave MAKE A RESERVATION, but have a realistic expectation. it might completely blow your mind, but it might also be so so. never bad, but worth the gamble because it's reasonably priced.
