| - i've tried them all and this is the best thai food in town. the prices are reasonable considering that splitting an appetizer and an entree between 2 people is more than enough, otherwise, you've got your late night leftovers.
lunchtime there is the best deal around. i'm not a vegetarian, but i always get the tofu option when i eat here. the lunch starts you off (price included) with lemongrass or wonton soup and a springroll with sambal(?) (a spicier, more delicious version of duck sauce). i've never bothered with the wonton, because the lemongrass soup is flavorful with a definite kick to it.
if you're not too adventurous with thai food, the general tso is pretty delicious, but you might as well try something new. the curries are always spiced how you want them, unlike the lemongrass cafe's downtown, and their noodle dishes are awesome. my personal favorite is the pad kee mow. whoever decided to cook with lemongrass is a total genius.
at dinnertime, the green papaya salad is delicious. shredded green papaya, chunks of shrimp, and a peanut sambal sauce. the appetizer sampler platter is great for sharing. hopefully, you'll still have room for the main course.
the service is friendly, casual, and all family as far as i can tell, unlike thai cuisine up the street. the decor is fresh, cute, and a little bit campy though sometimes there's a musak soundtrack on featuring simplified james blunt and celine dion. strange as that may sound, it enhances the experience.
