Curry

1. Thai Square

recall the curries being spicy enough and the soups being wonderful.  The menu items were pretty standard, but there was definitely enough on here that I haven't seen elsewhere to keep me interested...

4. Simply Home Cuisine

Neighborhood: U Street Corridor

Went here with a foursome on Saturday night and loved it.  They take reservations and we only had a wait a few minutes to get seated.  My mango martini was tasty as was the garden rolls and my crispy...

5. Tara Thai
