Ayada

Debuted in 2008 to serve a neighborhood with a large Thai population, this narrow restaurant features an unfussy, no-frills setup. The menu is best tackled with a group, as the generous portions are ideal for sharing. Beyond standard noodles, visitors highlight the fresh, herb-packed larb, juicy Thai sausage, and the fried red snapper with mango salad. While the kitchen delivers vibrant flavors, heat levels can sometimes turn out milder than requested, so specify your spice preference clearly. Save room for the creamy tom kha gai soup or a sweet plate of mango sticky rice.
