Trust us: You haven't seen a menu like this. You could spend 20 minutes reading through all the options and still be at a loss as to what kind of cuisine you'd like to sample. With options including Cambodian, Nepalese, Filipino, Thai and Korean, selecting just one winning dish seems as difficult as crowning a single champion at the real "Miss Asia" pageant.
Of course, Thai food does have an advantage here, as it's the owners' native cuisine, something that's easy to detect thanks to the Thailand-centric decor. The first three to four pages of the eight-page menu feature staples like pad thai, pamelo salad (featuring a grapefruit-like fruit and a spicy-sweet dressing) and stuffed bitter melon soup (entrees run $6.45-$19.95). Still, don't count out the entries from other countries, like Malaysian laksa (rice noodles, shrimp, tofu and egg cooked in coconut soup) and Vietnamese pho. Takeout and delivery are popular choices, but dining in the simple, serene restaurant makes for a charming experience.
