Khao Sarn

I literally only know two words of Thai: 'pet ma', very hot. Most Thai places seem to ignore me when I request my food pet ma. Khao Sarn (311 Bedford Avenue Williamsburg Brooklyn) takes it very seriously, making me cry every time I ask. In my book, that makes this one of the finest Thai restaurants in New York. The proprietor, a gay Thai man, is exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and the food is innovative, fresh, and well-prepared. It's also very affordable. Khao Sarn is clearly the best Thai restaurant in Williamsburg, and is a serious contender to the city-wide title as well.
