I love this place for several reasons. First, it's easily accessible, right off 28th dr. & metro pkwy. behind the Barnes & Noble. The owner, Siri, will most likely greet you at the door with a warm smile and an unassuming, non-pretentious nature. The restaurant is very clean, nicely decorated and well lit (I like being able to actually see my food!) . On to the food! The menu is diverse, with fresh appetizers, salads, soups, curries, fish plates (the Penang catfish is a house specialty), specialty plates and fried rice dishes. The first time, I got a steaming plate of drunken noodles. It was wonderfully prepared and I could tell the ingredients were all very, very fresh. In their heat scale of 1-5 stars, I take an 8, which is perfect for experienced Thai food eaters. Then again, I take my food REALLY hot normally :) Tonight I had the crispy noodles in a garlicky beef sauce with fresh veg, and my wife had the Penang duck curry. Do not miss the duck curry! It was spicy ( level 8), while maintaining its flavor and freshness. The duck was big chunks of BBQ bird, not diced little pieces like I've had at other places. I took the noodles without any extra heat and I'm glad I did! Crunchy, delicate, flavorful, it's a great dish for a hesitant Thai food eater. In summary, please go support this friendly little gem of a neighborhood place, because I count on Siri to keep me fed when the wife is out of town! Also, wifey and I are both participating in her Spicy Curry eating contest tomorrow (heat level 11!), so come cheer us on!
