The Thailand Café is a cute, cheap and delicious must-lunch locale. The lunch special comes with unlimited hot tea, and appetizer and entrée of your choice. I have tried all most everything on the menu, and they are all great. Appetizers include amazing Thai wings, fried tofu, salad, and others. Entrees include a long list of curries, pad Thai and other Thai classics, all satisfying. My favorite is the massamun, a milky and spicy coconut curry. A matron-type (pictured to the side), who I take to be the owner, oversees the restaurant like a hawk, and always appears seconds away performing some form of painful and/or sexually-humiliating Thai torture on the customers in the back room if they are not enjoying the meal (luckily not a problem.)
