Best food + atmosphere for Thai in Madison!
I consider Ha Long Bay & Sai Bai Thong to be the two best Thai restaurants in Madison----however, Ha Long takes the cake when it comes to atmosphere. The place is always buzzing with people (sai bai tends to be mostly empty when we go), they have a young, hip waitstaff and a restaurant with a modern, fresh decor. Although the food is great at either place----the experience is better at Ha Long!
One note---I find their "spice" rating scale to be a bit more "mild" than the average thai place---so if you like something really hot try emphasizing that you want it *really* spicy instead of just "five stars".
