"This family-run Northern Thai downtown gem exudes a quirky, energetic atmosphere well-paired with vibrant, spicy food. Servers bring Grandfather’s tom kha soup, laden with creamy coconut and lemongrass, accompanied by a Sterno and ladle to serve the table. Delightful turmeric clams come with sticky rice meant to be eaten with your hands. Or, visitors can choose a nutty, flavorful brown rice to go with kabocha squash curry. The wait here can be long for dinner, so reservations are recommended — and so is a peek at the rotating specials board. Customers can order takeout, make a reservation for indoor dinner seating, or walk in for lunch." - Barb Gonzalez, Jeffrey Stull
