Khao Sarn
After my mediocre dish at Zenna earlier this week, I was craving
better Thai food. So it was a fortuitous coincedence that Dharmesh
suggested meeting at Khao Sarn for dinner yesterday.
I really like Khao Sarn, it's in my top three Thai places. The food is
great: I've never had anything less than excellent there. Last night
we had the interesting Miang Kum appetizer (a bunch of stuff on
leaves, you roll them up after adding a thick dressing, all sorts of
flavors combining...) and I had a great pad see ew. The decor is nice,
the service pleasant if slightly inconsistent. Dharmesh and Alli
enjoyed their food too, and of course the company was the highlight ;)
The prices are a little steeper than most Thai places, but then again
that's how Khao Sarn bills itself. The food selection is great, and to
top if off, Khao Sarn is about 100 yards from our home, which is a
superb advantage in the Boston winter.

Zenna Noodle Bar
A few days ago Alli and I were on our way home, thinking about dinner
options, when we walked past Zenna, a new noodle bar that replaced a
semi-run-down Thai place in Coolidge Corner. It looked good, so we
walked in.
The menu was fairly limited with fewer choices than the typical Asian
place. Alli got the pad thai, a safe choice that proved prescient, as
it was very good. I got a more unusual dish, the yellow dumpling
noodle soup which has shrimp and shrimp dumplings in the soup. It was
bland, even for my fairly mild tastes, and that's saying a lot for a
Thai place.
So Zenna is a decent place, an improvement over the old restaurant
that occupied that space, but not one to come back to, especially
