This spot is bove average for folks who aren't Thai food experts. For example, the Tom Kah Gai soup seems better (to this slurper) than Baan Thai's. Also, while admitting that such matters are highly subjective, the "mild" version the the spicy dishes seems quite enough (unlike Baan Thai's, for example, where one needs to ask for "medium" to get the same effect). Another point--for those who like to talk in a normal voice while dining-- the music is low and the acoustics absorb a lot of ambient noise. Plus the decor is pleasant.
