Thai Elephant

At first glance, the menu at this little BYOB Thai joint seems common, but up on the chalkboard you’ll find specials that make the trek worthy of your gas cash. Try the spicy tilapia with globe-shaped eggplants and the beefy “boat” noodles, a brisket-studded soup. From the regular menu, don’t miss the roasted duck curry packed with grapes, tomatoes and pineapple chunks. Grab dessert to go from the small counter of imported cookies and candies.
