great food!. admittedly, i am not a big expert on thai food. i have had what more knowledgable friends have called "authentic"/"great" thai in other cities and i think that thai spoon comes pretty close to those. the real deal or not, i don't claim to know, but i do know that it was very good! i had the house noodles at a spice level 5 and it was the perfect amount for me, i like things just a tad spicy. the service was a little slow and our appetizer came out after our meal, but the staff was very friendly and, again, the quality was there, so no big deal. we will be back!
