Boyd Thai Restaurant (CLOSED)

At this Village spot, locals drop in for the daily $6.95 lunch and $8.50 dinner specials, which both include a reliably good Pad See Ew (or Pad Thai if you choose), soup or salad, and dessert (which you can only hope includes crisp banana spring rolls). A modest place like this might be in over its head with some of the bigger entrées (Alaskan king crab legs, baked sea bass with cream of spinach), but simple sides like sesame-grilled sticky rice are always standing by.
