One of my favorite Thai Restaurant is located in the west village. This little restaurant has a very nice oriental hip modern decor. While dining customers will experience a laid back atmosphere. The best kept secret is to come during there lunch specials which is m-sun from 1130-330. If your under a budget and want to have a good thai food experience I would highly recommend checking this place out. The Lunch Special has a wide selection of main courses to choose from. For $8 the meal comes with an appetizer and main course of your choice. I suggest trying the fried shrimp & pork fritters appetizer and the black noodle dish. Go ahead and treat yourself with a wonderful sweet savory iced thai tea. Enjoy.
