The bar I measure all Thai restaurants by, is the Lotus of Siam in Vegas. It is spectacular -- see my (or Anthony Bourdain's) review.
So imagine my delight, as I need a place to go after a concert at Roy Thomson Hall and search Yelp, discovering this spot.
Upon arrival, I had downstairs with my three little kids (8,5,3) in tow, and see a bar and wonder if I've made an error. The place is packed, at 5:15 pm. They get us a spot within minutes, and start taking our order comfortably fast.
I zoom in on Thai beef salad, Pad Thai and a few other dishes. To summarize, they were terrific. The side fresh home made Thai hot sauce, was equally great. Normal I order everything stupid spicy, and unfortunately I could not, due to my little rascals. But they gave me fresh hot chillies and sauces galore to keep my palate on fire.
Once finished, we noticed the line. Out the restaurant!
Obviously this gem was only a secret to me. I'll be back, many, many, many more times to come.
