Citysearch Editorial Review

By Wendy Weiden

Editorial Rating: Recommended

This spacious SoMa destination mixes Thai dining with 21st-century design.

The Scene Celadon-green paint cleverly masks the concrete walls and soothes the spirit, while dark-wood panels intricately carved with elephants and deities bring more exotic locales to mind. From warm greetings at the door to pleasantly proffered wine tips, the entire waitstaff embodies the famed Thai friendliness, only in a chic modern setting. The Food The kitchen's fresh, herb-infused renditions of everyone's favorite Thai food (think pad thai and green curry) are sure to satisfy and satiate. But those looking for more adventurous fare will find plenty. Try the mieng kum, make-it-yourself lettuce cups packed with bits of peanuts, coconut, ginger and a sweet-tart sauce, or the tofu in peanut sauce with delicately crisped basil leaves. Good things come in small packages, from the crispy tofu appetizer--a masterwork of textures, between the snap-crackle-pop exterior and the interior's melting smoothness--to succulent chicken satay skewers. For dessert try the coconut rice with ripe mangoes.
