Pad Thai Kitchen
2309 SE Belmont StWell...excellent pad thai, of course!
Don't go here if you're in a time crunch. It's amazing thai food, but there is only one chef, and she is the wife of the guy who will greet you and seemingly attempt to dissuade you from dining here. Dine here anyway. Order an appetizer, and sit back and wait for the fabulousness!
