Simran J.Simran Jaising: seafood papaya salad has succulent raw blue crab. tom kha gai is ever flavorful. drunken noodles in spicy basil--pad kee mao is best I've had.

Justin L.Justin Lin: Get Soft shell crab mango salad. But be very careful about hotness level. They will say it is not hot at all but even the medium managed to blow me up. Just go with mild.
