If Las Vegas has a quiet little culinary secret, it's the wealth of small, good, inexpensive and family-run Thai restaurants. Those seeking respite from the fickle winds of restaurant mediocrity and celebrity-chef mania needn't look any further than the Thai Room. It's the longest living (14 years), of the generally excellent bunch and it remains one of the best. Friendly, small, well decorated and comfortable, it boasts a huge word-of-mouth following among aficionados from all over town. They come for the excellent pad thai, exciting curries and fiery soups for which this cuisine is known. |
