"Golden Thai is the epitome of a neighborhood go-to. An in-person meal will give you a front-row seat to the parade of locals getting takeout. But the casual space is low-key enough for a solo meal on a Tuesday night when you don’t particularly feel like talking to anyone, though it’s best enjoyed with a friend or two. You’ll need a few bodies to share the reliable Thai curries, noodles, and stir-fries." - veda kilaru, adrian kane
