"On the mezzanine level of the bustling mania of Arcade Food Hall is Plaza Khao Gaeng. It’s a Thai spot decked out to the nines in the stuff you find in roadside spots all over Thailand. There’s officious light, lurid plastic tablecloths, and a cocktail so neon you might well suggest sprinting home from Tottenham Court Road. At least, until the food comes out and you realise you need to stay put and eat much more. Miang phuket, a starter of coconut and cashews mixed with palm sugar, is excellent, while almost all the curries are fierce and the drinks are guaranteed to flow." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
