| - This is one of the three best Thai restaurants I've eaten at in North America. (I like all three so much I'll call it a tie, especially since they're so geographically distributed I can't eat at all three in a row without burning a ton of frequent flier miles.)
The first time I went, it felt weird. It's in a strip mall, there was a bunch of broken window glass in the parking lot, and it felt kinda seedy. But, the food. Oh, the food. I'd read that Gourmet magazine called it the best Thai restaurant in America, and I had sky-high expectations.
They were exceeded.
There's a neat twist, too. In addition to all the dishes you think of as "Thai" (which are from the southern part of Thailand), they have a whole set of Northern Thai specialities. If you think you know Thai food, only order from the part of the menu with the northern specialties. It's Thai, but it's nothing you'll recognize unless you're really well traveled and know Thai food extremely well.
Eat. Here. Now. If you say you don't like Thai food, eat here anyway. If you don't like it here, then I will allow you to say you don't like Thai food -- but not until then!
