| - Best Pad Thai I've ever had - and unlike any other version you're used to. No wonder Keri Simon made the chef make it in front of him.
Larb salad was also great, but should come with a disclaimer. After a few bites, its like napalm for your tastebuds and you won't be tasting anything else for the next three hours. So, do not get it along with another entree - you won't be able to tell the two apart. Bottom line: Larb is an either or situation.
The food is outstanding. For this, you will have to put up with sparse, metered parking, very slow service, spotty guest wi-fi that kicks you off every 30 seconds (in case you care about connectivity at this point). One little oddity is that when you walk in, you're immediately surrounded by tables and other dining customers. Close quarters. There is no hostess welcome/wait area. And when you arrive, no one pays you the attention to either seat you or tell you what's up - like where to wait or how long of a wait it will be. You walk in and hope you get a server's attention who may or may not seat you in the next 5-10 minutes.
Do go on a nice sunny day - they have a beautiful, relaxing back patio area where you can enjoy a great meal in a nice, open environment. Inside is a bit cramped... but did I mention that they serve THE BEST PAD THAI EVER!!? ;)
*2-star = freaking SPICY!! Next time... no star, so I can taste more of their amazingness and not be sniffling through my entire meal.
