"While it lacks the spiciness of, say Ugly Baby, or the scholarly approach to Thai food that once characterized Pok Pok, Dannee Thai is just the kind of neighborhood Thai restaurant you’d love to have a few blocks from your apartment. First off, there’s a lunchtime special ($10, seven days) that launches with soup, fritters, or dumplings; leading to a very broad range of main courses, including drunken noodles, red or green curry, and a choice of meats in a basil stir fry, washed down with a free soda. The curry puffs are particularly fine, crisp pastry bulging with a savory chicken filling. My favorite noodle dish so far is pad kee mao, sometimes known as drunken noodles. Though a choice of main ingredients is offered, go with the pork or the mock duck, which will be cooked up with eggs, basil, bell peppers, and chile paste, and finished with a squeeze of lime." - Robert Sietsema
