Best Thai Restaurant

Phuket Thai – The most mispronounced Thai restaurant in the South Bay wins again for their wide ranging variety of exotically spiced Southeast Asian food. Though named after a famous beach resort in the south, the food here encompasses several regions of Thailand, from the milder Chinese-influenced Northern dishes to the hotter, curries of the Indian-influenced south. Spices are used with subtlety and power, and you are in control of how hot most dishes are; spice fiends may have to convince their server that they really do want the food as hot as Thais like it themselves, but if you do you are in for an amazing experience. However you order it, this is where you’ll find excellent food and polite service that will remind you of your visits to that magical kingdom.
