Description:
The busiest restaurant of North King Street, this is one of only two Thai restaurants in Charlestown, and as such, it's something of a gastronomic landmark. Within a somewhat cramped setting of ocher-colored walls and hardwood floors, you can order all the usual Thai curries and lemon-grass specials. Especially popular are Tom Kha Gai (chicken-coconut soup); duck salads with celery, onions, pineapple, carrots, ginger, and cashew nuts, and a wide array of green, red, and yellow curries. Henry Eang is your hardworking host, an entrepreneur from Cambodia who has a tale or two to tell about the Pol Pot regime.
