Pam Real Thai Food

When I was in Thailand this past summer, my tour guide, a jovial jokester named Art, brought us to the little home restaurant his mother owned and ran. The old woman spoke very little English, but she did manage to leave me with a bit of wisdom. She said, in heavy accent, "when you go back to America and you go to Thai restaurant, order the pork."
Fast forward to yesterday afternoon in Hells Kitchen NYC. My sister and I had just arrived and on the train in we had looked up "authentic Thai food". Our search had produced Pam Real Thai Food. A tiny corner of Siam stuck on W. 47th Street. After we finally found the small and somewhat dineresque looking place we were seated and handed the ten page menu, riddled with reviews from the likes of the New York Times, The Village Voice, and The Post. I greeted the young waiter with a "sawat di kah" and ordered a Thai iced tea. The taste immediately brought me back to the hot streets of Bangkok. I ordered the Crispy Pork with Basil and Sierra got a simple Pad Thai. Both dishes were amazing. The noodles were by far the best I have had in America. And my pork was just so delicious and double fried that I nearly ordered another. A great place and a great value. Go eat there.
