Tops in a Thai-rich Town
Thursday, July 22, 2004
Sorry for the alliteration, but this little storefront on Capitol Hill's 15th Ave East is my vote for the best straight-up Thai in Seattle. Definitely not flashy, but a pleasant interior space, nice folks, and the best-executed Thai standards around. I'm especially fond of the red curry, but the signature dish is the pahd thai - not the gloppy, ketchupy mess you get at most places in town, but a delicately flavored, well-balanced dish with an elegant presentation (instead of scambling in the egg, it's finished like an omelet, with a delicately browned egg 'wrapper'). Don't expect breakout innovation (see my review of Mandalay Cafe on that subject), just well-executed Thai standards. Go!
