The 6 Best Thai Restaurants In Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Dara means “star” in Thai, and as it turns out, this casual BYOB in Midtown Village is one. It’s especially useful for their generously portioned $16 lunch special or a laidback group dinner. The flaky chicken puff, drunken noodles with plump shrimp, and whole branzino should have your undivided attention, but the decor may steal some of the spotlight—there are constellations on the wall and a glowing moon behind the counter. But the families and pre-night-out friends in the dining room appreciate those warm, considerate touches just as much as the hint of coconut in the crispy duck curry (our favorite)." - alison kessler, candis mclean
