"A pioneering Thai restaurant that operated for 41 years, having opened in the 1980s when few spots in the area focused on Thai cuisine. The business was family-run and relied on dedicated staffers who stayed for decades; the owner, Kent Nandhavan, died in July after a fall, and his children decided to close the restaurant following his passing. Over its long run it attracted notable diners, including the late Anthony Bourdain." - Erika Adams
