Fodor's Expert Review Bob Likes Thai Food

The staff at this no-frills storefront explains that Bob is just an average guy. And if he likes the authentically prepared Thai fare, then so will you. The menu includes all the classics, from green papaya salad to laabmoo (minced pork with roasted rice, mint, fish sauce, and lime) to pad si ew (fried rice noodles with pork and egg). There's an assortment of curries, including fish with a creamy yellow curry. Some dishes are on the small side, so if you're hungry ask your server to recommend the right number of plates to share. For the best deal, come for the lunch specials. There's a second location at 1521 West Broadway in the South Granville neighborhood and a quick-service version at 1660 Robson in the West End.
