THAI NYYOM

Green Curry

The benchmark dish at any Thai restaurant — here reportedly fragrant and coconut-forward with real kaffir lime and Thai basil balance rather than sweetness-as-default

Massaman Curry

Rich, slow-cooked curry with warm spice notes — potato and peanut give it heft; a litmus test this kitchen passes consistently according to reviewers

Tom Yum Soup

Lemongrass-and-galangal broth with the sharp sourness that separates a real tom yum from a pale approximation — the aromatic backbone is the point

Pad See Ew

Wide rice noodles with wok char and a savoury-sweet soy glaze — the char is the thing, and a kitchen running hot enough gets it right

Pad Thai

The crowd-pleaser, done without shortcuts — tamarind-forward rather than ketchup-sweet, with proper dried shrimp and bean sprout crunch

Mango Sticky Rice

Seasonal dessert staple — coconut-soaked glutinous rice with ripe mango; worth asking about availability
