"This latest Thai spot from restaurateur Todd Sirimongkolvit — who also runs Oakland’s Bird and Buffalo and Basil Canteen in San Francisco — focuses on coastal Thai cuisine. Located in Danville, the new restaurant offers “dishes that are not common in other Thai restaurants,” as Sirimongkolvit told the Mercury News, such as a pan-roasted salmon fillet with curry reduction, or miang pla pao, which comes with a fried seabass fillet, vermicelli, fresh herbs, and lettuce leaves to wrap everything." - Dianne de Guzman
