Tamarind Thai

“You get what you pay for” may be how the saying goes, but you get much more at this neighborhood Thai restaurant. Prices are modest but the master chef is famed Southeast Asian chef/cookbook author Vatcharin Bhumichtir, whose food has the subtle balance of flavors, textures, and heat one would expect to find in London or Thailand, not in a relatively low-profile spot right around the corner. A mixed appetizer platter (with two kirs) is a particularly elegant way to begin. But there are numerous unusual starters that are hard to resist, including laap gai, a chili- and lime-marinated minced chicken dish that’s both refreshing and savory. Entrées, sizable enough to share, include a superb roasted duck and equally impressive whole snapper, both in signature tamarind sauce. Don’t forget to order a side of puffed roti bread to soak up every last drop.
