Panita Thai Kitchen (Permanently Closed)

Authentic as the Thai humidity is heavy, the dishes at Panita are served in carved fruits and look and tastes like vacation. The owner is a sake bomb pusher, but cares?

Spoon Eastside (Featured)

Whether you’re a lover of smooth red, fiery green or mellow yellow, it’s easy to appreciate the balance of heat - and heart - that goes into each of the curries at SPOON. And while we can gush all day about the addictive qualities of the Kang Dang with tofu or the Panang with shrimp, Spoon’s noodles and specials (most notably the soft shell crabs) manage to live up to the hype that&#146;s hogged by the signature curry dishes. Lucky for the residents of Ormewood Park, Grant Park and East Atlanta, 2009 saw the arrival of Spoon’s Eastside location, meaning they now have to-die-for Massaman within stumbling distance. less...

Tamarind Seed Thai Bistro (Permanently Closed)

There are about a zillion Thai restaurants in town and most of them taste alike. One notable exception is TAMARIND SEED, owned by chef Nan Niyomkul and her husband, Charlie. (They also operate the glitzier Nan Thai Fine Dining.) What sets chef Nan’s cooking apart isn’t the dishes themselves. Most of them are classics, such as masaman and panang curries (the green curry is particularly delicious). It’s the complexity of sauces and layers of unexpected flavor that distinguishes the food here. There’s also an energetic staff and, if you’re lucky, Nan might be in the kitchen. The woman is a classy beacon of good feelings, and the food is suffused with her personality. less...

Tamarind Seed Thai Bistro (Permanently Closed)

It was a sad farewell for Atlanta diners when Tamarind closed late last year. But now that TAMARIND SEED has opened in Colony Square, all is right with the world once more. Chef Nan Niyomkul creates hauntingly multilayered flavors, producing complex and beautiful dishes. Don&#146;t miss the silkymore...

Little Bangkok (Featured)

Yes, one of intown&#146;s most inexpensive restaurants is also its best Thai restaurant. We know there are gourmet Thai spots in town, but they don&#146;t produce the ever-changing array of specials that LITTLE BANGKOK does. Always check the specials board, but the classic green chili chickenmore...
