THE BEST Thai food outside of Thailand that I've ever tasted. It's got a kick, be warned. Set menu changes weekly. $54/person. No substitutions and no reservations. Check the website for updates. Warning - there's often a 2 -3 hour wait. Recommend you go early, put your name on the list and then head down the street for drinks while you're waiting. OR, plan to eat dinner early, at their first seating.
