Thai Restaurants in Parker

Each dish of homespun fare populating Indochine Cuisine's menu is carefully woven with fresh sauces and zesty seasonings, resulting in a harmonious blend of healthy tastes from Thailand and Vietnam. The restaurant's versatile starters can double as full meals or Burton Gilliam stand-ins—coconut-curry-sauce-marinated shrimp stuffs each deep-fried pastry pillow of the Fire Crackers ($5), and the grilled satay chicken rests comfortably in yellow curry sauce served with peanut sauce and 400-thread count cucumber vinaigrette ($6). Coat your throat with warm signature soups such as the coconut milk-infused Tom Kha ($6–$11) before loading up on one of Indochine Cuisine's tasty entrees. Fueled by basil curry puree, the rice-crusted Chilean sea bass rides on grilled zucchini ($20) rims before racing the fiery Bo Luc Lac's tender whip of wok-tossed steak ($14) through digestive highways.

Set within a warm, romantic atmosphere that melds modern accouterments with ancient mystique, Thai Basil regales foreign fare finders with a menu of Asian fusion cuisine. Commence exotic eating excursions with a cream-cheese-stuffed crab cheese wonton ($4.95) or lemongrass mussels ($7.95), or dive into a squall of stir-fried shrimp swimming in a spicy sea of tamarind sauce ($11.50 at dinner). The red-curry chicken slathered in peanut sauce ($9.95 at dinner) tantalizes taste buds, and the stir-fried dynamite noodles delight pasta-prone diners and consternates cartoon coyotes with an explosive sauce, diffused with chicken, beef, or tofu ($8.95, $9.95 for shrimp). Veggie-philes can sink their herbivorous teeth into the thai eggplant ($8.50) as they partake in a sudsy potable from the full bar.

A "tuk tuk" (pronounced "took took") is a type of three-wheeled taxi service commonly found in Thailand. It's used by tourists as well as locals, who appreciate the speed and convenience. Westminster's Tuk Tuk Thai Bistro tries to capture the above qualities in a restaurant, and it largely succeeds. But there's a certain elegance to Tuk Tuk that you might not expect to find on the streets of Bangkok. The kitchen takes typical street foods and classes them up, resulting in a menu that seems both familiar and adventurous.

Wild Bangkok's team of chefs employs award-winning expertise gleaned from multiple continents to fashion a menu that offers authentic Thai fare made with healthy, organic, and locally derived ingredients. A full bar shines behind the marigold- and purple-hued dining space, with barkeeps standing by to uncap beers or pour, shake, and stir a variety of classic cocktails. The dining area's shoulder-stimulating booths accommodate both romantic dinners and group outings.

The chefs at Tommy's Thai customize the heat quotient of each menu item by preparing authentic entrees to mild, medium, hot, or Thai hot specifications. Tommy's Tidbits, an appetizer alliance composed of spring rolls, fried shrimp, shu mai, and crab cheese wontons ($7.95), eradicate stomach rumblings and premeal taste-bud boredom. The siracha entree bathes fresh ginger, a choice of protein, and crispy veggies in the eponymous sauce ($6.75 for lunch, $7.75 for dinner), and the pad thai tosses together an appetite-appeasing combination of rice noodles, ground peanuts, and green onions ($6.75 for lunch, $7.75 for dinner). Hailing from a clutch of red, yellow, and green curries, the red pineapple curry blends sweet fruit and rebellious spices ($7.25 for lunch, $8.25 for dinner) to make tongues swoon like a group of 1950s teenagers at an unsupervised sock hop.
