    Way to go! Had to write.

    Probably the best beef panang curry in the City. Always fresh, plenty of beef ... some places are heavy on the sauce and peppers and not much else .... have been going for years ... food never disappoints.

    Always excellent food

    Excellent menu before going to see Paula Poundstone at the Pantages. Made reservations to ensure table. Both ordered off the special menu. Roast duck in red curry sauce was outstanding as was the asparagus with chicken. Bottles of wine were reasonably priced.

    We had the spicy green beans and the red curry and found both to be very good. The service was good and the prices comparable to other Thai restaurants. We were not in business attire and were treated very well.
