I got red curry with tofu from two different places in one week! This makes my stomach very happy, of course, but the extra bonus was that I got to compare one of my favorite Thai dishes at two local restaurants.
Thara Thai's red curry beats the bamboo shoots out of Basil Thai's red curry.
That's not just a cute saying, either, friends. I don't know what they did to make normally-bland bamboo shoots taste so good. But whatever they did, just thinking about them makes serotonin leak out of my ears.
The decor reminded me of a mix between a George Webb's and every other Thai restaurant in the world. The service was *awesome.* Our waitress had a winning smile and was taking care of the busy restaurant all by herself. The food came out promptly, water was refilled often, and we were happy.
P.S. The Crab Rangoon also did not disappoint.
