Bangkok City

Frommer's Review

In a neighborhood loaded with Thai restaurants, this is my top choice. In the large dining room, the cordial staff and tempting aromas greet you as you check out the exotic decor and lengthy menu. Appetizers are the usual dumplings and satays, plus unique items like "Boston triangles" (tasty fried pork-and-shrimp patties). Entrees range from mild pad Thai to blow-your-hair-back curries, with many vegetarian options. The mix-and-match selection of proteins and sauces is larger than at many other Thai restaurants, so you can let your palate's imagination run wild. (Oh, great -- now I want some tamarind duck.) The friend who steered me to this place comes here just for the zesty salt-and-pepper squid. He also passed along this tip: Ask for the Thai menu. It's just a photocopied sheet, and it lists many of the same dishes as the regular menu, but it's a great help in narrowing down your choices.
