Thai Barn Na Liberty

Green Curry

Creamy coconut-based curry with a sharp herbal edge — the benchmark dish for judging any Thai kitchen's seriousness

Pad Thai

The baseline test — well-executed with proper tamarind tang, not the ketchup-sweetened version common at lesser spots

Tom Yum Soup

Hot and sour broth with lemongrass and galangal that's properly punchy — good litmus test for kitchen authenticity

Massaman Curry

Rich, slow-cooked curry with warm spice notes — tends toward depth over heat, good for those who want complexity without fire
