Yummy Thai food! Small restaurant, seats maybe 10. Chef's name is Lek (she's awesome!), and she designed her menu to resemble Thai home cooking. You'll find standard Thai food (Pad Thai, etc), but you'll find some excellent new dishes as well :) Also, very reasonably priced with most entrees below $15
