Best Dishes
Red or green curries with chicken, pork, or beef are very well done, but the most interesting choices are on the list of signature dishes. Pla prow is a wonderfully moist grilled rainbow trout stuffed with herbs and served with a julienne of mango in a spicy dipping sauce. Duck is stir-fried and served in a chili-and-garlic sauce. Pad Thai is not my favorite local version--it's still too sweet for me--but drunken noodles, wide rice noodles in a very spicy chili-and-garlic sauce, are a hit.

Vegetarians will appreciate the large number of vegetable offerings. Even at so sophisticated a Thai restaurant, the best dessert is still mango and sticky rice.

Price Details:
A bit higher than the competition. Dinner for two: about $65.
