Food Scene

If you like spice and Thai street food, come here. One of my favorites. If you eat on the earlier side, getting in won't be as bad, but expect to wait an hour or so if you come during peak dinner time. Put your name and phone number on the list and go get a drink closeby. The crispy rice salad and startled pig are favorites.
