Several word of mouth recommendations sent me to this neat little spot, where the dining room is in the same space as the Thai food market. Menu items are prepared fresh from nearby farmers market suppliers, and the restaurant’s owner-operators come from over 15 years’ experience with Thai restaurants. As at Café Adel, take-out orders were moving non-stop as I dined. Similar to most Asian restaurants, the menu items are insanely numerous, so I will give a representative list without descriptions. Your fun will be to make multiple visits to explore the menu on your own!
